“Student fee increases fund new

Housekeepers argue

by Leo Lopez
staff writer
The Employee Forum on Wednesday
was characterized by an uneasy settling and
clarification of disputes.
Several protestors lined one side of the
Pleasants Family Assembly Room inside
Wilson Library, holding signs such as
“Repeal the no-sit-down policy” and “Stop
dividing housekeepers.”

Board of Governors debates tuition increase cap
In the next three months, the
UNC-system Board of Governors
will be reviewing the Four Year
Tuition Plan, which was created in
2006 by President Erskine Bowles
to provide more stability to the
tuition process.
The board is considering several
recommendations.
In the next few weeks, The
Daily Tar Heel will take a closer
look at each of the seven policy
recommendations.

incident report.
by Andy Thomason
Assistant University Editor
A UNC student’s mother died
after falling out of a bed Aug. 19
and sustaining a head injury in
Kenan Residence Hall.
Donna Sykes, 49, was found
unconscious when EMS officials
responded at 1:44 a.m, according
to a campus police report. Sykes,
who was staying with her daughter
at the time, was later transported
to the emergency room.
Information about the incident
was not immediately released
because the University defers to the
privacy preferences of the family,
said Christopher Payne, associate
vice chancellor for student affairs.
“Our first priority is to support the
student and the family,” he said.
The woman’s daughter contacted
a resident adviser, who then called
an ambulance, the report states.
Sykes was found unconscious at
the scene by paramedics.
Bradley said the department
is examining the safety of beds in
residence halls, adding that the
University usually receives between
50 and 100 railing requests each
year. Railings are provided free
to students who e-mail requests
through FixMyRoom@fac.unc.edu.

that needed to be addressed. Now

Corona Cares helps fight cancer

staff writer
Corona wants you to buy beer to
help beat cancer.
The company’s 5-year-old
program, Corona Cares, will
raise money to benefit patients
and families in the Lineberger
Comprehensive Cancer Center at
UNC Hospitals.
Throughout the month of
September, the company will raise
funds from beer sales to be put
toward a direct donation to the
cancer center.
“It’s important for us as a com-

finds it difficult to reconcile the two
ideas.

Dobson said.
But policy clarification was not
the only issue lurking in the forum.
“The hot button was the DTH
article yesterday,” Dobson said. “I
was totally offended by it.
“The first thing I did after I
read the article is that I called Bill
(Burston) and Tonya (Sell) to sit
down and talk to them,” he said.
Dobson said that he asked Sell,
the assistant director of housekeep-
ing, about comments she made
about slapping people around
among other things.
He then assured the forum that
Sell was simply using figurative
language.
Several employees at the meet-
ing suggested that Dobson write
a rebuttal to Tuesday’s article to
demonstrate department unity, but
he resisted and warned employees
against talking to reporters about
personnel issues.
As the discussion progressed,
the divide be tween workers
and management became more
apparent.
Workers were concerned about
losing rest and break privileges,
while management said it does not
want workers to abuse breaks.
After reading employee break
and schedule policies, one audi-
ence member said that “(workers)
are being made to feel as if they are
not equals on this campus … (the
policies) seem to be really, really,
really harsh.”
Dobson said he would make
sure discretion is used in the
future to avoid management being
too harsh toward employees, add-
ing that a distinction needs to be
made between well-needed rest
breaks and blatant abuses of the
system.

9 to 5? Meet 9 to 3 — as in 3 o’clock in the morning.
The minds behind The Independent Weekly’s new music
festival in downtown Raleigh didn’t know what they were
getting themselves into when they started building the 120-
band bill from the bottom up. But if they manage to pull
Hopscotch off, it stands to leave an indelible impact on the
Triangle’s music scene.
“It’s a nightmare,” Independent marketing and festival
director Greg Lowenhagen said. “A really fun nightmare.”
2010 promises to be a watershed year for music in North
Carolina. With the arrival of Hopscotch this month and
Asheville’s Moogfest in October, the state has two huge first-
year festivals on the horizon.
“It’s really well positioned — if we do it right — to create a
unique niche in the Southeast,” Lowenhagen said. “Not just in
Raleigh, not just in the Triangle, not just in North Carolina —
but really something that can attract people from Charleston,
Columbia, DC and Richmond and Asheville.”
For Lowenhagen, devising Hopscotch was the next logical
step in an area that seems to beg for a larger festival.
“I felt that the city was ready,” Lowenhagen said. “There’s a
vibrant scene, there’s a lot of young people and a lot of great
established music venues.”
After pitching the idea of a multi-day festival in various
bars and venues in Raleigh to The Independent’s receptive
owners, the next step was to come up with a diverse lineup.
Lowenhagen allocated the responsibility to the publication’s
music editor, Grayson Currin.
“Greg gave me the best edict you can get,” Currin said.
“’Draft the fantasy list of bands you’d like to have at a fes-
tival.’”
Currin’s list has seen a few changes from when he began
drafting his dream team.
“Four of them died,” he said. “That’s how long we’ve been
planning this festival — four people that were on the original
list have since died.”
Building an attractive lineup is an arduous task in itself,
made even more difficult by the fact that Hopscotch hasn’t
had the chance to establish a track record yet.
“Very few bands are just going to jump on board with
something that’s brand new,” Lowenhagen said. “There are a
lot of bad promoters out there, a lot of people that fold, people
that don’t pay — everyone’s skeptical.”
Combating the incredulous is personal friend of Currin
and Lowenhagen, Paul Siler, guitarist for Birds of Avalon.
Siler’s foundation in local music and his multitude of industry
friends helped the team score Chicago post-rockers Tortoise.
The band’s commitment soon became the tipping point for
other bands on the fence, Currin said.
“You start to add a band like Tortoise to a roster and then
you get some of these up and coming bands like Washed Out,”
Lowenhagen said. “And your list at the end of your e-mail
starts to grow.”
“Pretty soon, the roster starts to sell itself.”

One of the biggest challenges of building a bill is balance.
Festivals need a sizeable turnout to remain economically
viable and a line-up of unknown bands isn’t guaranteed to
pack a club.
“I’m personally a huge fan of a lot of experimental, weird
music,” Currin said. “Noise, drone, improvisation — for a first-
year festival, incorporating that kind of stuff is risky. It’s not
New York. It’s not Brooklyn.”
It’s a risk the Hopscotch team is willing to take.
Fostering the fringe is an across-the-board fusion of
national and local: Public Enemy shares a bill with The Love
Language while Vitamin Water sponsors alongside Schoolkids
Records.
Big acts proliferate exposure and the idea is that someone
visiting the area for the first time will have their interest gal-
vanized in what the Triangle has to offer, Currin said.
Where Moogfest is backed by the music promotion
giant AC Entertainment, Hopscotch remains in the hands
of Lowenhagen, Currin and only a handful of dedicated
Independent employees and interns.
Tasks that would normally be delegated to teams and task
forces, like answering general information e-mails or making
sure the right streets are closed off, are left almost entirely to
Lowenhagen and Currin.
“It comes down to details like our official coffee sponsor,
Larry’s Beans — we have to make sure their creamer passes
state code to be at the right temperature for service in the
City Plaza,” Lowenhagen said. “Meanwhile, what you’re real-
ly concerned about is whether Broken Social Scene has the
appropriate backstage setup they need.”
It doesn’t leave much room for a personal life. The
Independent has given Lowenhagen a month off from his
normal job as marketing director to focus on Hopscotch, but
the workload has only increased ­­­— Lowenhagen barely had
time to catch dinner with his mother on her birthday.
For Currin, the ends justify the means.
“It’s like, ‘Wow, this is a lot of phone calls and e-mailing and
making sure these details are in place and checking back with
this person about this detail and going back to this person,’”
Currin said.
“But at the end of it, you’re just like, ‘Oh shit. This is going
to be so fun.’ That’s kind of the ethos of the whole thing.”

‘The Record’ makes noise, artfully
by linnie greene
diversions editor
There are some relationships
that stand the test of time — Romeo
and Juliet, peanut butter and jelly,
wine and cheese.
If The Nasher Museum of Art
at Duke has any say in the matter,
records and art will be seen as an
equally classic pairing.
This week, the museum launched
“The Record: Contemporary Art
and Vinyl,” an exhibition that high-
lights art in which vinyl plays an
integral role.
Trevor Schoonmaker drew on a
long-standing tradition of visual
artists’ use of the record to curate
the show.
“The record is a subject that art-
ists have been working with themat-
ically for years and years,” he said.
Schoonmaker’s experiences as
a UNC post-grad impacted his
thought process as a curator.
“When I graduated, the first job
I had was in an independent record
store. I moved back to Winston
Salem and I worked at the Record
Exchange,” he said.
“It stems from that, but then
more so once I moved into curat-
ing, just looking at work and see-
ing the motif of the record as a
subject that comes up over and
over — it hadn’t really been dealt
with before.”
Mark Katz, a professor in the
UNC music department, contrib-
uted an essay to the exhibit’s cata-
log called “Beware of Gramomania:
The Pleasures and Pathologies of
Record Collecting.”

THE MOST TALKED ABOUT BAR SPECIALS IN TOWN
For him, vinyl’s physical prop-
erties make it conducive to visual
art.
“I think the tactility of vinyl is
important to people. You can pull
out a recording, you can hold it, you
can look at the grooves,” he said.
“This is a slippery term, but it
has a kind of authenticity to it.”
And while the exhibit orbits
around a central theme of the
record and its role in art, the works
themselves range from small-scale
drawings to large installations.
“For me, every piece is impor-
tant to tell a different story, in some
ways for a different audience,” said
Schoonmaker.
With a roster of artists that
range from textbook names to rela-
tive unknowns, the exhibit should
draw an assortment of viewers.
“The most savvy art aficionados
will be drawn to different works
because maybe they’ve never
noticed that Jasper Johns ever pro-
duced a work engaging a record.”
Though the exhibition takes
place in the context of a museum,
the intricacies of the relationship
between records and visual art
extends far beyond the confines of
the Nasher’s walls.
Katz sees the connec tion
between these two worlds on the
sleeve of a record.
“Some are really beautiful cov-
ers, these 12-by-12 artworks. That’s
a lot of the motivation behind
record collecting. People associate
the records they have with the cov-
ers,” he said.
But in an age of CDs and mp3s,

On the ArnHao + Holygrailers
Split EP, Raleigh’s Denmark ONE
records asserts itself as a major and
emerging force in the local elec-

ArnHao and Holygrailers ignite
the fire on the label’s first split EP,
crafting an ethereal and soulful take
on electro-pop.
Combining the artistic efforts of
Arturo “Trizz” Holmes and UNC
alum Andrew Hamlet, Atlanta-
based ArnHao draws from Pitchfork
influences like Toro y Moi and Bloc

Get Low
Tennessee hermits are strange
creatures, especially when they
hide in the hills and shroud them-
selves in rumor and legend. As sub-
ject matter, they make for strange
movies.
But strange is as strange does.
Faulkner, for instance, was a
strange guy, and Southern Gothic is
a strange genre, but their strange-
ness is majestic and awesome.

poem and a Southern folk film, is

lent of a defibulator.
Full of celestial references,
sparkling synth and pulsating
beats, ArnHao’s “Oh?! (Intangible
Fantasy)” sweeps the listener into a
swirling body of sound. Lyrics like “I
want to ride my bicycle into the sky
/ I want to escape on an escalator in
the city,” reference “intangible fan-
tasies,” as the song’s soothing vocals
ultimately send the listener into a
blissful trance.
Raleigh’s Nikhil Shah, aka
Holygrailers, relies on similar soul
and sensuality in his two dubstep
track contributions, “Rosa” and
“Morning Nap / Buttons.”
On the latter, soft static and
ambient piano chords creep to life,
much like a slow start to an early
morning. At first the diversity is
limited and hints at overrepetition,
a frequent consequence of electro-
pop. But throw in a drippy faucet
and a growing commotion of snaps
and twitches, and Shah maintains
a simple and refreshing balance of
synth and soul with striking preci-
sion.
Denmark ONE’s debut compila-
tion proves just how infectious and
multifaceted electronic music can
be. But it’s the way in which both
artists rely heavily on a sense of
emotionalism that sets them apart
from the Passion Pits and MGMTs,
likewise awesome in its strange-
ness. On the one hand, its most
memorable image is an old black
preacher meandering through a
piney wood to the distant sound
of scratching fiddles. On the other
hand, it co-stars Bill Murray.
Talk about strange.
Robert Duvall stars as the afore-
mentioned hermit, Felix Bush,
who lives a reclusive life outside of
town. Rumors swirl of Bush’s dark
past, and Bush doesn’t help things
by beating young men in the street
with pick handles.
“Get Low” has cinematography
crisp as a winter morning in the
foothills, and its acting is high-
quality, even by Duvall’s standards.
But it still feels more like a literary
endeavor than anything else. Equal
parts charming and haunting, it’s
loaded with the humor and horror
of a true Southern novel, as well as
its cast of archetypal and moving
characters, chief among them old
man Bush.
Bush is an ornery Faulknerian
figure with a few outsized ambi-
tions, and the movie’s major plot

Walter the Fish Quarterback Je≠erson leads weak LSU o≠ense
catches fresh music
New blog pairs
artists for interviews
by elizabeth byrum
staff writer
For local music blogger Zeno Gill
of Durham’s Pox World Empire,
finding a blog name came as easily
as recalling his daughter’s unusual
title for the family car.
It’s an apt name. Walter the Fish,
Gill’s new music blog, aims to let
readers see unconventional Q&As
in which two musicians interview
each other.
“What I’m hoping for is some
more in-depth questioning. I’m
a musician myself. I’m hoping to
learn the sort of things I would want
to learn from musicians — the craft
of the songwriting, the recording
process, the bands’ dynamics and
all those details,” said Gill.
The first conversation, featur-
ing The Old Ceremony’s Django
Haskins and Charlotte’s Anna
Bullard, delves into the roots of
Bullard’s songwriting, the type of
questioning that Gill had in mind
for the interviews.
Although he runs the blog, Gill’s
primary role is one of moderator
and initial contact. Once two musi-
cians are set up, they control the
interview process, including the
questions and method of convers-
ing.
In Gill’s experience, it only takes
a brief explanation of the concept
behind Walter the Fish before musi-
cians are enthusiastic about the idea
— the dynamic between artists is
already there.
“I think there have already been
some cool questions that maybe
non-musicians hadn’t thought to
ask. I am hoping that things will get
even more involved. The interviews
— I’ve been calling them conversa-
tions — I am thinking they might
eventually be less about an inter-
viewer and an interviewee, and
more about two musicians having
conversation without a particular
subject in mind.”
For Maria Albani of Chapel Hill’s
Organos and Schooner, posting
her interview to the site felt like a
good fit — she had already spoken
to Broken Social Scene’s Andrew
Whiteman, but had yet to find the

right venue for publication.
“For our interview, Andrew and
I did that on our own. I knew that
I was going to do something with
that, but I never really found the
right thing for it,” said Albani.
From discussing the different
tracks on Albani’s Organos EP to
her ultimate DJ name (it’s 9LiVEZ),
the two were able to engage in ques-
tioning on their own terms.
From stripped-down song expla-
nations to quirky conversations
about instruments, Walter the Fish
provides a sense of informality that
other blogs and publications lack.
Its casual nature fosters conversa-
tions that might not occur in other
sources of media.
“That’s another nice thing about
this musician-to-musician conver-
sation is that we get to hear a musi-
cian’s response to a song,” said Gill.
Gill has several other collabora-
tions in the works, including con-
versations between Brad Cook of
Megafaun and Mac McCaughan of
Superchunk as well as Reid Johnson
of Schooner and Stuart McLamb of
The Love Language.
If all goes according to plan, Gill
hopes that the blog will continue
to expand in content, including
national and international names
and other formats such as Skype
interviews.
The blog may still be getting its
feet wet, but the local and regional
focus Gill places on Walter the Fish
allows it to be a relatable resource
— while it is a great way for musi-
cians to sync on the same level, it
is equally satisfying for the general
music fan.
“We are just lucky we live in
a place where we have this great
music scene with a million musi-
cians, and some of them are
nationally and internationally
known.”
It’s a rarity that Gill doesn’t take
for granted.
“It provides a pretty easy segway
into expansion, I’m hoping,” said
Gill.

Louisiana State quarterback
Jordan Jefferson must be looking
forward to returning to the Georgia
Dome.
In his freshman year, Jefferson
grabbed LSU’s starting job after
winning the 2008 Chick-fil-A Bowl
Offensive MVP in a 38-3 blowout
of Georgia Tech.
The LSU offense struggled last
year, as they finished an anemic
ninth-from-last in yards per game
in the Football Bowl Subdivision.
The main problem for the Tigers
was a lack of blocking. Jefferson
spent as much time running away
from burly defensive linemen as
he did looking downfield for open
receivers.
“He’s a kid that’s very athletic, very
mobile; he can extend plays with his
legs,” UNC coach Butch Davis said
during a teleconference on Monday.
“Obviously he’s thrown for over
2,000 yards, so he really represents
a multi-dimensional threat.”
LSU can only hope that Jefferson
is much improved from the sopho-
more that led the Bayou Bengals to
a disappointing 9-4 campaign.
“He’ll play better,” LSU coach
Les Miles said in the same Monday
teleconference. “We expect him to
play better. His leadership abilities
are still getting better.
“He’s prepared very well this
summer,” Miles said. “He had a
very good summer. He’s in the best
shape of his life. He’s really been
aggressive and is learning.”
Davis said that despite the
struggles, it was clear to him that
Jefferson improved over the course
of last season.

tee, tall tee. Turtleneck,
V-neck. You name it, I’ve got it in

not need any more.
And this is why I’m tired of the
charity 5k races. Is there really no
other way to galvanize the sup-
port of a group of people toward
a specific cause? I’ve got to think
there is.
I’m not sure why so many
people agree to pay to run all
these 5k races. Maybe it’s a
guilt-free way to feel like you’re
making a difference. Pay $15,
spend 30 minutes running and
bam! You’ve just helped some
third-world country cure their
hunger problem or find a cure
for cancer.
The shirts? Charity shirts have

COLUMNIST completely cov-
ered with busi-
ness sponsors on the back. While,
admittedly, some are pretty cool,
isn’t one enough? Or are they a
collector item that I don’t know
about?
The prizes? I’m pretty sure
the same few guys from the cross
country team win every single
time.
Charity 5ks sparked my ani-
mosity, but my dislike of boring
fundraisers goes beyond 5ks. We
should hold all of our fundraisers
accountable to a higher standard
of creativity.
UNC Dance Marathon may
be one of the few exceptions.
While the Dance Marathoners
may be entirely too over-enthu-
siastic, at least they have a com-
pelling product that requires a
lot of time and dedication from
the people who participate. No
other fundraiser is like theirs.
While I obviously can’t stop
the barrage of 5ks from occurring
each year, I’ve made a list of cri-
teria for students to follow before
participating in any club or orga-
nization fundraiser that I encour-
age everyone to follow.
n  Time: I recognize the
importance of giving time,
money and service to charity. It’s
a great way to get behind a cause
or foundation that you really
believe in. But if you are going
to participate in a charity or
fundraiser, you want to feel like
you gave some of yourself to that
organization in the form of time
or sweat.
n  Originality: The fundraiser
you attend doesn’t have to be the
first of its kind. That’s a lot to ask.
But hopefully there is something
unique about it, because if you’re
attending a benefit just for the
sake of attending, you’re simply
going through the motions.
n  Time sensitivity: There
should be a limit to the number
of times you participate in the
same genre of fundraiser. I’ll
throw out the arbitrary time of
three weeks. If you want to run
a 5k, make sure you have at least
a couple of weeks before you go
out and run the next one.
n  Selectivity: Don’t whore
your benevolence around. I think
some charities would be appalled
at how willing some people are
to help any random organization
with a cause and a slogan. Show
some selectivity, and it will make
your commitment mean that
much more.
With your help, we can maybe
ensure that this year’s clubs and
organizations host interest-
ing, mentally and physically
stimulating fundraisers that are
actually worthy of our time and
money.

So we are understandably

ing a death that occurred when
a parent fell from a lofted bed
in Kenan dorm — especially
because it highlights a danger
that affects thousands of stu-
dents in on-campus housing.
It only adds insult to injury
that the community has been
kept in the dark since the event
occurred in the early hours of
Aug. 19. One wonders if this
information was ever intended
to be made public.

portray this as a straightfor-

be given to the family involved
and their privacy.
But the Housing department
serves all students. It must
accordingly give consideration
to the entire campus community
when deciding how to handle a
sensitive subject.
Falling from a bed in a cam-
pus dorm entails certain risks,
but severe injury or death hardly
seems like a present danger —
which is exactly why students
should know when it occurs.
Students can’t plan for a risk
they are led to underestimate.

Certainly the Housing depart-
ment understood the relevance
of this event to students. Yet the
department’s actions suggest
that it felt they should be left in
the dark out of concern for the
privacy of the family involved.
We simply cannot agree.
While we respect the family’s
privacy, we cannot in good con-
science endorse withholding
that someone has died in a dorm
on campus. This is especially so
given that UNC is a public uni-
versity that is supposed to be
directly accountable to the peo-
ple. Students deserve to know
the truth.
Our hearts go out to those
who are affected by this tragedy.
But in the name of transparency,
accountability, and above all the
safety of those living on campus,
it is imperative that students
never be left in the dark.

Chief Brian Curran that includ-

valuable visual evidence.
Dashboard cameras provide
a more complete truth than wit-

provide video of police stops
that protect both police officers
and citizens from false accusa-
tions. Finally, they provide an
additional layer of transparency
— something that is always wel-

We are confident that
the cameras will serve their
intended purpose well. Most
importantly, we are confident
that unfortunate mix-ups like
Charles Brown’s mistaken

to occur going forward.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Abortion coverage should
be included in UNC plan
TO THE EDITOR:
In response to the editorial
“Explain abortion money” (Aug.
31), where’s the choice in the
abortion exemption?
The real choice is when a
woman has the peace of mind
knowing she has access to all of
her options — abortion with cov-
erage or carrying the pregnancy
to term — when in a difficult
situation.
No one plans an unplanned
pregnancy, and no one antici-
pates having an abortion. The
point of insurance is to provide
a safety net for unexpected medi-
cal expenses.
Abortion is standard in nearly
every health insurance plan in the
nation, so why should UNC be
the exception? Women shouldn’t
lose coverage just because they’re
UNC-system students.
Regardless of one’s personal
feelings on abortion, this trend in
removing a standard insurance
benefit due to moral objections is
disturbing. What coverage will
get the axe next? Student mental
health services? Treatments and
drugs for HIV patients? Cancer
treatments for smokers? The
UNC system deserves to be com-
mended for protecting insurance
benefits.

Information on sexual
assault should be reviewed
TO THE EDITOR:
Project Dinah thanks the
DTH for Tuesday’s coverage of a
crucial issue facing all students,
not just incoming first-years:
sexual assault at Carolina.
In our community, men and
women of all gender identities
have survived sexual and inter-
personal violence. Bottom line:
violence affects us all.
The article, “First six weeks of
school are rape ‘red zone’” (Aug.
30) listed several excellent ways
that we can create a safer UNC:
publicizing reporting options
and self-defense trainings,
watching out for ourselves and
classmates, and learning how
sexual and gender stereotypes
exacerbate rates of interpersonal
violence.
The article mentioned, and
Project Dinah wants to reem-
phasize, the role of alcohol in
sexual assault.
As per the Alert Carolina
website, nearly 9 in 10 college
sexual assaults involve alcohol.
Moreover, 90 percent of survi-
vors know their assailant. Over
half of assaults take place in a
victim’s residence.
So while it remains a good
idea to stay aware and safe
while walking at night, it is
equally crucial to know the
impact of alcohol, the necessity
of communication and respect
in interpersonal relationships,
and the resources available to
you should you find yourself (or
a friend) in a dangerous situ-
ation.
We recommend as a com-

DTH coverage slanted
against housekeepers
In reference to “Righting
the ship” (Aug. 31), Assistant
Housekeeping Director Tonya
Sell thinks that it is unfair to even
ask students whether housekeep-
ers can “hang out” in lounges.
I wonder why we can’t be asked.
Is it because the students at the
self-proclaimed “University of the
People” are too classist to share
space with the people who clean
up after them, or is it because
management doesn’t want stu-
dents to decide whether or not we
can know our housekeepers?
Surely it is easier to exploit
housekeepers if they don’t have
allies among the student body.
By focusing on Sell’s personal
history and framing the story as
a personal conflict between Sell
and Employee Forum represen-
tative James Holman, the DTH
trivializes and hides the real
abuses housekeepers face on a
daily basis from management
and the lack of a voice they have
on the job.
The Employee Forum might
well be the only venue workers
have to address these issues,
since due to N.C. Law 95-98 it
is illegal for state workers to col-
lectively bargain.
Under this Jim Crow-era law,
housekeepers, at the bottom
of the University power struc-
ture, are especially vulnerable
to exploitation. Students should
be wary of stories from the man-
agement that paint workers as
unruly children that need to be
handled or kept in line.
Housekeepers are human
beings who do a job that we
all benefit from daily and they
deserve, like the rest of us, to be
treated with dignity and respect
and to be paid a living wage.
