The Daily Tar Heel For April 1, 2014

STANFORD, Calif. The five of them struggle to fight back the laughter, but just when one sequence ends, another ensues. They sit there together the starting five of the North Carolina womens basketball team all donning gray sweat suits from head to toe, all looking at each other, hoping that the other four are finding this press conference as funny as they themselves are. Theyve just finished pool exercises a few hours ago, followed by some time in the jacuzzi, and the air that encompasses the fourth-seeded Tar Heels as they prepare to take on second-seeded Stanford today in the Elite Eight is light. Goofy. Relaxed. Freshman guard Allisha Gray makes a comment about getting buckets to silence what will likely be a raucous crowd in Maples Pavilion tonight as Stanford will enjoy a home-court crowd. Stephanie Mavunga and Xylina McDaniel burst into laughter. A few minutes later, a reporter sneezes in the middle of McDaniel answering a serious question. Bless you, she says without a hitch. The laughter continues. But its not all fun and games. UNC knows that to defeat Stanford and secure a slot in the Final Four is going to be a challenge. In defending Chiney Ogwumike, an AllAmerican and a three-time USA Basketball gold medalist, UNC will be faced with one of its most daunting tasks yet. Ogwumike averages 26.6 points per game and hauls in 12.2 rebounds. She had 29 and 15 in Stanfords 25-point snub of Penn State Sunday. We have to do a good job on Ogwumike. She is a phenomenal player, and the less she touches the ball, the better, Mavunga said. But if she does touch the ball, we have to be
DTH/KEVIN HU Ellen Farrell, right, whose daughter goes to UNC, argues with anti-abortion activists with the Campaign for Genocide Awareness.
The definitions of genocide, free speech and safety were all in contest Monday. A display depicted graphic images of abortions alongside examples of genocide, such as those which occurred in Cambodia and World War II Germany, sparking campuswide debate. The controversial demonstration was held Monday in front of Wilson Library by the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform in partnership with Carolina Students for Life, and it will be held again today. It was part of the centers initiative to persuade students that abortion is a violent
crime against human beings and falls into the United Nations definition of genocide. (Genocide Awareness Project) is our campus project, we have others, but this is specifically designed for college students, said project director Jane Bullington, who travels to colleges around the country. The organization has visited UNC twice before. Typically college students believe genocide is one of the worst things that can happen, but they dont want to consider the fact that killing a million babies a year in our country is genocide, she said. The presentation follows all UNC procedures and policies covering events and facilities use, said Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Winston Crisp in an email Monday
morning. The statement also mentioned that students could seek help from UNCs Counseling and Psychological Services if they are disturbed by the images. The Universitys responsibility is to remain a vibrant intellectual community in which all viewpoints can be comfortably expressed and heard in an atmosphere of civility and respect, he said. Around 11:30 a.m. Monday, both unaffiliated students and Students United for Reproductive Justice members organized a counter-protest. Students started a petition to Dean of Students Jonathan Sauls to discourage displays that make students feel unsafe on campus.
It ebbs and flows. I think that perhaps one would say that theres a lot of great, important work that the activists are doing, but sometimes it remains a little siloed and doesnt get out of areas that are already interested,
said Michal Osterweil, a global studies lecturer who teaches about social movements. Osterweil said she has been on campus for a long time going back to her career as an undergraduate and she thinks campus activists play an important role in big issues. I think, historically, a lot of big movements in our country and elsewhere, student movements are one of the sparks, she said. There is a really important connection between college activism and larger movements. Some of those movements have resulted in major political and cul-
tural changes such as the overturning of the states Speaker Ban Law in the 1960s and the Universitys decision to divest from companies that did not support the Sullivan Principals, a set of practices that would treat South African workers fairly during apartheid. That sense of social responsibility is still alive today though sometimes progress with UNCs administration takes time.
Coal divestment
Senior Jasmine Ruddy said being
a student activist at UNC is a unique experience. Sometimes you really feel like youre getting across to people and you are making issues relevant and something that people care about, and other times you feel like no one is listening, she said. Ruddy is involved in the UNC Sierra Student Coalition, which is working to push the University to divest from the coal industry. Divestment is one of the best places to start with the transition toward a clean energy economy, and it also brings up the important
point that we, as students and as customers of our university, should have a say in what we invest in, she said. Ruddy said sometimes she feels like her activism is an uphill battle, but that University administrators have been, for the most part, encouraging. The coalition proposed a working group to the Board of Trustees in their presentation in September, but the board didnt think they had enough information to make a decision at that point.
DTH/MARTHA-SCOTT BENSON Tom Ross, the president of the University of North Carolina school system, speaks on a panel Monday at the Student Union. He spoke to students about recent changes in the Honor Code policy.
UNC-system President Tom Ross believes the most important part of an honor system is creating a culture and an environment of integrity. He discussed the Honor Court and other details of UNC-CHs academic life with students on Monday in an open campus forum. People should understand that integrity in an academic environment is what makes an academic environment valuable to the individual, he said. Its not just about competing for grades or anything like that. Its about engaging people and helping each other learn. Honor Court officials teamed up with the Student Advisory Committee to the Chancellor to hold a closed discussion with faculty first, which was followed by the forum for students in the second floor of the Union. Around 40 students attended the forum. The topic of the forum centered around the honor system, but the floor was later open for
any questions. I actually didnt know walking in that the student forum would be wide open, Ross said afterwards. But I was happy for it to be wide open. Ross fielded questions about everything from tuition, to the quality of student-athletes educations, to criticism of University apparel made in sweatshops in Bangladesh. Raquel Dominguez, who will be inaugurated as student attorney general at 7 p.m. today, said the forum was a good chance for students to engage with Ross. I was excited that students got to interact with the honor system in a setting outside of the hearing room, Dominguez said. Ross served as a solicitor in the honor system during his time as an undergraduate at Davidson College. Avani Uppalapati, vice chairwoman of UNC-CHs Honor Court, had met Ross in Washington, D.C., where the two began discussing the honor system, and Ross agreed to hold a forum at UNC-CH. Ross stressed how important it is that UNC-CHs honor system is student-led.
You know, everybody believes in free speech until you start questioning them about it.

o the paranoid Walking Dead fans out there: We have some bad news. According to an Estately report, North Carolina will not survive the zombie apocalypse. In fact, the Tar Heel state is ranked 40th in likelihood to survive. Despite a good showing in the gun owners category, North Carolinas obesity and zombie knowledge hurt us bad. Alaska is most likely to survive. Maybe the zombies would freeze? Who knows, but heres to hoping we get it together before were eaten.

WOMENS LACROSSE: NORTHWESTERN 7, north carolIna 5
Beau Mills didnt learn how to be a lobbyist in Capitol Hill it was at Chapel Hill. The new director of UNCs Office of Federal Affairs was an activist during his time as an undergraduate, pushing for UNC to divest money from South African companies that did not sign a code of labor ethics during apartheid. Mills said he learned how to balance interests and articulate his viewpoint. Beau Mills is the Similar to what UNC student new director of UNCs activist groups do today, he Office of Federal helped craft a resolution with UNCs Student Congress and Affairs. He recently made a presentation to the worked with Rep. Board of Trustees to discourDavid Price. age them to divest. I learned those very same skills, he said. You could call me a lobbyist, but I describe a big part of my job as educating policymakers. Mills said he is glad to return to his alma mater after working for federal agencies and politicians, most recently as district director for U.S. Rep. David Price. Working for Congressman Price was quite extraordinary, he said. But when the opportunity came up to work for UNC, it gave me the opportunity to think I dont think people understand how the important the University is. Mills will succeed Karen Regan, who was appointed federal affairs director in 2005. In a press release, vice chancellor for research Barbara Entwisle said Regan will assist Mills in his transition. He will spend about a third of the time in Washington, D.C., lobbying on behalf of the Universitys interests, especially research funding. For now, he said he will spend time on campus meeting with administrators and researchers. The most powerful thing is to collaborate with people on campus, other universities, other businesses and connect with policymakers, he said. That involves telling stories, helping people understand defend this complicated thing. Associate Chancellor for Research Don Hobart, whom Mills reports to, said Mills role as lobbyist will only be more important after the severe budget cuts known as sequestration and the government shutdown in fall 2013 threatened University research funding. Beau is a true North Carolina public servant, Hobart said. UNC is in Congressman Prices district, which gives Beau a leg up in this job because he has already encountered a number of our federal issues as a result of his work in David Prices office. Though UNC received more federal research dollars than ever before in 2013 $778.8 million Mills said constantly working with policymakers is necessary to sustain the money. Hobart said in addition to research funding, UNC is also concerned with ways to make patents and licensing easier for faculty and how to bolster the Universitys profile in Washington, D.C. In 1998 groups spent more than $30 million on education lobbying, and in 2013 they spent more than $80 million, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonpartisan group that tracks political money. The UNC system has heightened its spending on lobbying in Washington from $260,000 in 2003 to $331,183 in 2013, according to the centers database. When Mills thinks of the most enriching experience hes had in his career, securing a grant or negotiating a deal isnt one of them. It was in the 1990s, when Hurricane Floyd wreaked havoc on eastern North Carolina and Mills served on the governors response team. There often wasnt much the team could do to help people whose lives had been destroyed, but every bit of help from the government mattered to the people affected. Helping that part of the state was so humbling, Mills said. We had meetings every day at 7 a.m. I learned government can help a lot, but it cant solve all of the problems. Mills said he will channel that spirit into his work for the University. The opportunity to improve lives is something that has always been at the center of what I do. university@dailytarheel.com
DTH/CHELSEY ALLDER Sophomore first-baseman Jenna Kelly rounds second base during UNCs three-game series vs. Florida State. UNC lost all three games.
After going down hard in back-to-back games Sunday afternoon against conference frontrunner Florida State, the North Carolina softball team tried to no avail to get the bats going and rally its stagnant offense to avoid the sweep Monday night at Anderson Stadium. The Tar Heels dropped game three 5-1, giving the No. 11 Seminoles the exclamation point on a pivotal sweep that saw the two teams enter the weekend tied for first place in the ACC and end it with a commanding three-game FSU lead. The Tar Heels dropped to third behind defending conference champion N.C. State. I think we really competed, North Carolina coach Donna Papa said. But Florida State is tough. Theyre a very good team. UNC was only able to rack up four total runs and was outhit by FSU 25-12. I dont think our defense beat us, for sure, Papa said. Redshirt sophomore first baseman Jenna
Kelly who went 2-for-3 on the day and accounted for two of UNCs total three hits said the team worked hard to practice against the drop ball pitch that FSU ace Lacey Waldrop specializes in. I thought that it helped me a lot, but I guess it didnt help enough, she said. I just think we didnt make the adjustments, bottom line. The Seminoles, meanwhile, launched an all-out assault on the struggling North Carolina pitching staff, blasting seven home runs that combined for 13 of their 16 total runs in the three-game series. They hit the ball all over the park, Kelly said. Lori Spingola got the start in the circle for UNC before being pulled after two innings, having given up four runs and three hits in favor of freshman Lauren Batten, who finished the game allowing just one run. I think I just lost momentum, Spingola said. I just have to kind of trash this weekend and keep confident in what I do best as a pitcher. I cant let this get to my head. Waldrop commanded the game from the
circle for FSU yet again, pitching a complete game for the second time this series and being credited with all three wins after pitching 17.1 out of the total 21 innings of the series. Lacey Waldrop is a really good pitcher, we knew that going in, Kelly said. Shes probably one of the best pitchers in the nation, if not the best. Kellys statement isnt far off, as Waldrop leads the conference in nearly every statistical category for pitching, including wins (21), ERA (0.56), and strikeouts (174), while her ERA is the second best of all Division I pitchers in the country. It was tough to put people on and then get the big hit when you have a pitcher like Waldrop on the other side that youre trying to attack, Papa said. With her ERA being (0.56), three runs is like 10 runs. sports@dailytarheel.com
year. The loss ended the best start in the programs history. During the game, the Wildcats put UNC in an unfamiliar position struggling to create offense. The Tar Heels managed to only score five goals their fewest this season. The team averaged 18.45 goals per game going into the match against Northwestern. Senior Abbey Friend said that it wasnt the Wildcat defense that was causing problems for UNC. Instead, it was Northwesterns time of possession on offense. It was more of what they were doing offensively, Friend said. Our offense felt the pressure of (needing to) score right away and make up for the time they had taken advantage of. Last season, a top-ranked Northwestern team came to Chapel Hill, only to be defeated 11-8 and handed its first loss of
the season. UNC also defeated Northwestern in the tournament en route to its national title. But this time around, the Wildcats had the last laugh. After getting down 2-0, the Tar Heels were never able to decrease the margin. After halftime, Northwesterns lead never dipped below a two-goal margin. Before the game, UNC had not scored fewer than 10 goals this season. In the second half, the Wildcats held the Tar Heels scoreless for 18 minutes. Friend said that Northwestern was the more prepared team on Monday afternoon. It was a tough one, Friend said. They took us out of our comfort zone, and we werent able to execute the game plan that we had. UNCs five goals were scored by Friend, seniors Sloane Serpe
and Taylor George and, freshmen Maggie Bill and Carly Reed. Coach Jenny Levy said the team was not able to get into any offensive rhythm and that the team needs to refocus. We cant show up and just go through the motions and think the games are going to be easy, Levy said. For freshman Sydney Holman, it was her first loss in a Tar Heel uniform. She said the loss served as a reality check for the team and will only help the teams motivation going forward. I think its a nice wake-up call for us, Holman said. We all learned what we need to work, and hopefully can implement it in practice this week. Were going to take this experience and move on. sports@dailytarheel.com

Giant anti-abortion posters lined the quad Monday but across campus, donors were gathered to support pro-abortion rights candidates. Lillians List, a North Carolina group that financially supports progressive female candidates, held its campaign kickoff luncheon Monday in the Carolina Club of the Alumni Center. UNC senior Sharlese Hall, who was a summer intern for Lillians List and volunteered at the luncheon, said the display was another reason why the state needs female-driven organizations. There are a lot of political action committees, but this is the only in North Carolina that focus on electing progressive women, she said. I think its actually what North Carolina and probably many other states need right now.
Lillians List named 15 featured candidates who are running for the N.C. General Assembly, including Sen. Valerie Foushee, D-Orange. Betty Craven, board chairwoman for Lillians List, said the group donated $5,000 the maximum amount allowed under campaign finance law to each of the featured candidates. Tickets to the luncheon were a minimum of $150. (Theres a saying), Dont get mad, get elected. Forget that, Craven said. Now its, Get mad, get really mad and get elected in sufficient numbers to reverse the negative course the Republicans have put this state on. N.C. Democratic candidates, including Clay Aiken, Laura Fjeld and Attorney General Roy Cooper, mingled among the crowd. U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla. and chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, was the keynote speaker. She said Lillians List provides support for female candidates, which is essential for encouraging more women to run and hasnt always been in place.
DTH/KEARnEY fERGuSon Rep. Alma Adams is introduced at the Lillians List campaign luncheon at the Alumni Center on Monday.
Our foremothers were so focused on getting themselves there, she said. They had to pave the way and maybe werent able to (provide support to other women) as much as they would have liked. North Carolina, she said, has a tradition of electing strong women like former Gov. Bev Perdue and U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan. But now, N.C. Democratic women must fight against conservative policies enacted by the GOP-led legislature, she said.
Its 2014. Republicans in North Carolina are debating issues from 1914, she said. I didnt think there was a clock that existed that went that far back. Wasserman Schultz encouraged the crowd to donate and mobilize other voters. Winning campaigns is hard work, but we all know something about working hard because were women. state@dailytarheel.com

One apartment complex ordinarily doesnt go to another and pass out information.
Larry Short,
Shortbread Lofts developer
The competition is heating up between apartment complexes in Chapel Hill. This year two new luxury student apartment complexes LUX at Central Park and Shortbread Lofts will open near campus. While spaces in both LUX and Shortbread Lofts are quickly filling up, the towns longtime luxury apartment complex, The Warehouse,
is still pushing for people to sign leases. Last week LUX at Central Park gave away free rent for a year to one resident. Students stood in line with keys outside of the LUX apartments leasing office on Franklin Street Thursday hoping to open a treasure chest that would give them free rent for a year. At one point they were approached by two people handing out treats with advertisements for
The Warehouse on them. I incorrectly thought it was LUX employees trying to pacify people who were waiting in line, but I was wrong, UNC student Lauren Sutton said. I got my rice krispie treat and flipped it over and there was a sticker on it saying, Warehouse apartments: Now Leasing, and their prices for rent. The Warehouse did not return requests for comment. But the complex did lower its monthly rent for four-
bedroom apartments to $618 for next year, down 21 percent from $785 this year, according to the complexs website. The Warehouse is also now pet-friendly, its website says. Sutton said it was obvious the people handing out treats were hoping to sway those in line to sign Warehouse leases. Once I realized who they were and I listened in a little bit closer, they were saying things like, Youre always a winner with Warehouse apartments! You dont need a key to get your first months rent free, we offer that to everybody, Sutton said. Sutton said a few people responded to The Warehouse
gesture apologetically, confessing to having already signed a lease with LUX. Other people acknowledged the gesture as a funny and lighthearted advertising strategy. They werent slandering LUX. It was done in a really witty way, she said. Sutton said she had already signed the lease with LUX, so the advertising did not influence her choice. I dont know if it wouldve affected my decision, but it did show effort on their part, and I think theyre aware that they have to resort to some other measures to keep their business going against all of these other apartment complexes that are popping up,
she said. Larry Short, developer of Shortbread Lofts, said the marketing tactic is a highly uncommon one. One apartment complex ordinarily doesnt go to another apartment complex promotionally and pass out information, Short said. That would be unusual. In terms of competition between The Warehouse and Shortbread Lofts, Short said he doesnt expect much. Were 100 percent leased for next year and they are not as far as I understand. So I dont think we have any competition with them. city@dailytarheel.com

DTH FIlE/lAMON JOHNsON Freshman Allisha Gray dribbles the ball during UNCs game against Michigan State in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
The Sierra Student Coalition is planning a panel on energy and investments with the chancellors office to be held in April. UNC spokeswoman Karen Moonsaid in a statement that UNC has reduced coal usage during the last two years and is exploring ways to remove coal from the fuel mix as quickly as is practical. Ruddy said she thinks the future of the working group is uncertain. A lot of it is going to depend, for us, on how the panel that were planning with the chancellors office turns out, she said. Its tough to know whether the board will follow through since there isnt really a constant flow of communication and dialogue.
their pleas. In that time, 12 schools have already required the Accord, said SAW member Shannon Brien. This is a simple step that UNC could take for workers safety. Folt said in an interview last week that she had met with students but not developed a position yet. Moon said the administration will consider several options from the committee and is committed to improving UNC-licensed goods.
Housing activists
Senior Ping Nguyen said he has been an activist since he first set foot on UNCs campus. One of the causes he pushed hardest for was gender-neutral housing. The initiative was approved by then-Chancellor Holden Thorp and the Board of Trustees last year, only to be shuttered by UNC-system Board of Governors in summer 2013. I am not sure what it is not like to be a student activist, because from my time at Carolina, I have always been involved with organizing, Nguyen said. I truly love being a student activist at UNC there are so many issues that need our

prepared, play good defense and stay out of foul trouble whether we are out on the perimeter or in the post. The Cardinal feels the same way about Diamond DeShields, the conferences rookie of the year and espnWs national freshman of the year. DeShields, who sustained both ankle and knee injuries in Sundays win against South Carolina, said itd be a game time decision on whether she plays tonight. If this is up to me, Im
playing, she said. They basically are going to have to take me down and strap me into a chair to stop me from playing. And if most likely when she does play, Stanford will have to find a way to quiet the Tar Heels leading scorer. Were still working on that, said Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer of the multiple athletes taking on DeShields. Offensively, DeShields is just a phenomenal one-onone athlete, she said. She wears 23 for a reason in North Carolina. sports@dailytarheel.com

voice. Senior Kevin Claybren, who also worked to implement gender non-specific housing, said he was frustrated with the politics behind providing gender non-specific housing. The administration wants to make sure that this is what a majority of the students want, he said. Its about educating the administration dont want this stuff up here, she said. Junior Julie Ascik, the copresident of Carolina Students for Life, said the goal of the display was to expose truthful information about abortion and show the inhumanity behind the procedure. She said preemptive measures were taken for those who would be disturbed, such as warning signs about the images and a woman who has undergone the procedure who would be available to counsel anyone affected. Feminist Students United is planning a counter-protest Tuesday morning that will distribute and discuss reproductive health resources available for women. There will also be guides to escort people away from the exhibit who are uncomfortable. Bullington said students
and the students at the same time. Nguyen said he thinks activism should bring lots of different students into the picture. I hope that I have made it easier for others voices to be heard or for others to gain the confidence to use their voice. university@dailytarheel.com are right to think the display is offensive. She said she believes if society is willing to legalize abortion, then it needs to face its consequences. The kids can yell all they want to thats fine, I dont care. They need to be thankful, she said. They have free speech in this country, and that allows them to say what they want to say that might be offensive to someone. However, Blanton and other counter-protestors said the right to set up the display was not the issue at hand. I think freedom of speech is important, and I think that people should be allowed to voice their opinion; however, its the Universitys responsibility to maintain a safe environment conducive to academic achievement, and this is not that. university@dailytarheel.com

This is very upsetting and stressful, said senior Megan Blanton, who participated in the counter-protest. I literally arranged my travel this morning so that I could avoid it going to class. I dont think any student should have to be scared to go to class. Blanton said the display was triggering to individuals for whom abortion is a sensitive and personal topic. She said the photos depicted late-term abortions and are representative of neither genocide nor the norm for legal abortions. Ellen Farrell, the mother of a UNC student, said the campus shouldnt have offensive displays like that but said UNC students are smart enough to know the truth. It really pisses me off. I

If (students) dont feel like they are involved, they are not going to buy into the honor system, he said. Jonathan Sauls, dean of students, said while the Honor Court is student-led, the University encourages involvement from faculty and administrators. One of four recent changes to the honor system is to place a faculty member on hearing panels where students are pleading not guilty. Other changes, which will go into effect on Aug. 1, include lowering the burden of proof, changing the minimum sanction for an offense and giving the students the option to choose an expedited hearing. The details of how it is implemented people agree or disagree on, but the importance of having a system that is effective and people buy into, I think, is really important, Ross said. state@dailytarheel.com

New York Times bestselling author, UNC professor and former department of religious studies chairman Bart Ehrman is the author of more than 20 books that detail the history of early Christianity. His latest book, How Jesus Became God: The Exaltation of a Jewish Preacher from Galilee, describes the transformation of Jesus Christ from Galilean priest to the divine Son of God and creator of all things. Staff writer Chinelo Umerah spoke with Ehrman about his book, from which he will be reading at Bulls Head Bookshop today.

DTH: What sort of sources did you turn to for research for your book? BE: A good part of the book is analyzing different texts from the New Testament, and I try to show that different authors of the New Testament mean different things when they call Jesus God. And that most of the authors of the New Testament actually dont mean what Christians today mean when they say Jesus is God. In the ancient world, they had a different understanding of the relationship between the divine realm and the human realm so today we tend to think that humans are one thing and that God is a different thing, and that there is an unbridgeable chasm between us and God. But in the ancient world, Greeks and Romans and Jews all thought that there were all sorts of divine beings, just as there are different sorts of human beings. (They) thought that sometimes the divine realm and the human realm overlapped, so that some humans could in fact be divine, and so there were levels of divinity. DTH: Why do you think its important for students to learn about the historical developments that shaped Christianity?
The Daily Tar Heel: What sort of extensive research went into developing the book? Bart Ehrman: Ive been working on this book for about eight years, and the reason I put so much time and effort into it is because I think this is really one of the most important questions obviously for Christianity in the history of all religion. Because if Jesus hadnt been declared God by his followers, we wouldnt have Christianity. DTH: What do you think led Jesuss followers to believe that he was the Son of God? BE: What I argue in the book is that during his lifetime, Jesus did not call himself God, but that after his crucifixion, some of his followers came to believe he was raised from the dead, and it is the belief that he had been raised from the dead that made them think that God had made him into a divine being. Once they thought God had made him into a divine
COURTESY OF BART EHRMAN Bart Ehrman is a UNC professor and the former chairman of the department of religious studies.
BE: Well, I think its important obviously for Christians, because most Christians think Jesus is God. But for non-Christians, its really important too because our form of civilization would be completely different if the followers of
Jesus had remained Jewish and had not started a new religion. Its impossible to understand the history of Western civilization for the last 1,600 years without the dominance of Christianity. And if the followers of Jesus hadnt ever called Jesus God, we wouldnt have Christianity. So its completely changed everything in the history of the Western world, and so I think thats important for students to understand. arts@dailytarheel.com
Eleven-hour workdays cleaning up as much as 45 tons everyday 10 days in a row. Thats what the crew from the Chapel Hill Public Works Department did this month to help High Point after the March 6 ice storm that debilitated parts of North Carolina. The Chapel Hill Public Works Department received an email from the North Carolina American Public Works Association that went out to members alerting them that High Point needed help. Each crew had their own dynamic, said High Point Water and Sewer Superintendent Robby Stone. I learned from this experience that different municipalities perform clean up with different equipment, he said. In addition to the work crew, the town sent chain saws, a rubber track excavator and trailer, two tandem dump trucks, a single axle dump truck and a crew cab truck. An additional dump truck was sent to help on March 26. The team included Charles Mitchell, Warren Edwards, Rezell Alston, Wayne Thompson and Audrey Gattis. It was an experience, said Crew Leader Supervisor Charles Mitchell. Up there, they had trees everywhere, and we had to work nearly 12 hours a day. The crew members were paid for their workdays, and they were paid overtime for
any hours over the 40-hour limit. The team was composed of volunteers that were willing to go out of town and work straight through, said Public Works Operations Manager Richard Terrell. The goal was to finish by Friday, when preparation for High Points annual furniture market begins. With their contribution, we were able to pass through about 40 percent of our streets and gets things cleaned up, Stone said. Stone said they might ask some cities to come back for more clean-up after the market calms down and there is more room in area hotels. The furniture market kicks off this week, Stone said. Some storm clean up will continue during the market but kick in to full gear the week after its over. High Point is also receiving assistance from Asheville, Charlotte, Gastonia and Raleigh, Terrell said. I speak for the entire city when I say we were very grateful to the assistance they could provide, Stone said. We wish nothing bad on any one else but hope that if they are in a similar situation we can help out. Mitchell said he enjoyed the people of High Point. People were friendly and constantly reminding us how they appreciated us coming down, Mitchell said. We felt right at home when we werent working and got to relax. city@dailytarheel.com
