BY victoria cook
Staff writer
Some tweaking of the academic curriculum
could make planning course schedules a little less
hectic for UNC students.
The administrative boards of the General
College and College of Arts and Sciences met Oct.
13 to discuss revisions to the curriculum.
The revisions, if ultimately approved, would
affect requirements for Supplemental Education,
foreign language and General Education require-
ments, as well as the number of lifetime fitness
courses a student can take.
All revisions passed through the board, but dth/allison russell

Innes said potential budget cuts
could also compound problems
caused by a lack of funds for emerg-

“We have a deficit in the patent
fund,” Innes said. “We have to keep
borrowing money to pay the patent
bills. The office has a need to grow
without the funds to expand. We
have neither the salary lines nor
the space for more staff.”
Since the cost of getting a new
drug to market is about $1 billion,
Innes said such products could not
be developed with reduced funds.
“Anything that would inhibit our
ability to acquire patents would be
catastrophic,” she said.

Symposium on water and
health issues to end today
One of the largest environmen-
tal events in the University’s history
ends today.
“Water and Health: Where
Science Meets Policy” began
Monday, bringing scholars, water
resources executives and policy-
makers from across the globe to
Chapel Hill. The event examines
water-related issues in five fields
— engineering and technology,
health, community development,
policy and climate change — and
focuses on research, education and
public outreach.
en more trick than treat for Duke
University.
In an effort to enforce the
policies, Student Body President
Hogan Medlin wrote a letter to
three universities, including Duke,
asking that students not attend.
The letter, which was also sent
to N.C. State University and N.C.
Central University, has provoked
a strong reaction from Medlin’s
counterpart at Duke.
“As someone who loves Chapel
Hill, it is difficult for me to ask
people not to come experience this
wonderful place,” Medlin wrote in
the letter. “We absolutely want you
to visit Chapel Hill... but we are
requesting that you choose another

enlisted his support to avoid.
“Students were saying that there
were a lot of people coming from
out of town,” Medlin said. “A lot of
the unsafe situations were coming
from students not from UNC.”
The town began the Homegrown
Halloween campaign in response
to the estimated 80,000 people
who came to the downtown area
in 2007. By limiting access, atten-
dance was reduced to 35,000 in
2008 and 50,000 in 2009.
Medlin said he hoped to keep
the letter positive and thought it
was well-received.
“I didn’t get much animosity,”
he said.

Lefevre said.
This year, neither bus shuttles to
park and ride lots nor downtown
parking will be allowed.
“Chapel Hill is doing what it needs
to do to keep the event safe and keep
a good reputation for having fun
downtown,” said Catherine Lazorko,
spokeswoman for Chapel Hill.
The restrictions have been
implemented by the town, not the
University. But students from other
universities don’t see the difference,
Lefevre said.
“They’re a little bitter,” he said of
Duke students. “I don’t think most
students distinguish between UNC
and the town of Chapel Hill.”
Lefevre pointed out shared ini-

tradictory.”
Last year, Duke administrators
restricted “Last Day of Classes”
festivities to only Duke students.
Lefevre said he would consider
lightening the restrictions for
LDOC if the Halloween restrictions
were lifted.
“What I would consider to be
a gentlemen’s agreement: that if
UNC would allow Duke students
to come over, there would be more
flexibility there,” he said.
“The line was sort of drawn in
the sand last year,” he added.

Instant runo≠ option could confuse voters

Ballots allow second and third choice
by seth cline
staff writer
With early voting underway, vot-
ers across the state are seeing a bal-
lot unlike any they’ve seen before.
Every ballot in the state features
a section of instant runoff voting,
which is meant to eliminate the
need for a second runoff election.
But it could also be confusing
for voters.
While selecting a judge for the
N.C. Court of Appeals, voters will
select their first, second and third
choices for election. If no candidate
receives more than 50 percent of
the first-place votes, the second-
and third-choice votes are counted
for each of the top two candidates
in the final vote tally.
“If we had a second primary
many voters would choose not to
participate,” said Johnnie McLean,
deputy director of administration
for the N.C. Board of Elections.
This is because turnout for stan-
dard runoff elections has historical-
ly been very low, said Rob Richie,
the executive director of Fair Vote,
a Maryland-based elections reform
think tank.
Thirteen judges will be listed on
the ballot to compete for the spot
vacated by Judge James Wynn,
Jr. in August. Due to the fact that
Wynn left so close to the general
election, a recently passed state law
requires his replacement be chosen
via instant runoff voting.
Although instant runoffs save
money by requiring only one elec-
tion, many critics say they compli-
cate the ballot and confuse voters.
To help remedy the situation, the
state board printed instant runoff
voting guides. Many county boards
of elections, including Orange
County, have guides at the polls.
“For every voter that comes in to
vote, we’re going to be giving you
an additional instruction sheet
when you come into the polling
place,” said Tracy Reams, direc-
tor of the Orange County Board of
Elections.
Early voters at the Morehead
Planetarium, such as sophomore
Zealan Hoover, found the guides
helpful in overcoming confusion.
“I think they did a good job of
explaining it,” he said. “It made
sense to me, but I also just took a
course on elections.”
But even the most educated
voters could struggle, said Sara
Biggers, a poll volunteer for Orange
County Democratic party.
“I have a masters in law and I
still can’t get it.”
Joyce McCloy, director of the N.C.
Coalition for Verified Voting, argues
the section is undemocratic.
“It sounds like a good idea at
first glance, but it violates a core
principal of democracy, which is to
keep it simple,” McCloy said.
She said voters who don’t choose
either of the top two vote-getting
candidates end up throwing run-
off votes away to candidates who
didn’t get enough votes to make it
to the runoff.
Others worry that higher num-
bers of voters will not complete all
of the ballot, said Bob Hall, execu-
tive director of Democracy NC, a
non-partisan political think tank.
“With 13 people running, the
drop-off ’s going to be huge — it
could be as much as half the people
voting,” Hall said.

WSSU o∞cial sends
partisan mass e-mails
by kristen mcavoy
staff writer
A politically partisan e-mail
that wound up in the inboxes of
Winston-Salem State University’s
students and staff is causing ten-
sion between the university and the
Republican Party.
The university’s Interim Vice
Chancellor for Student Affairs
Michelle Releford forwarded an
e-mail to the entire university com-
munity as per a student’s request
— without noticing its political
affiliation.
The e-mail contained informa-
tion encouraging people to vote
for the Democratic Party, but
Releford thought it encouraged
early voting.
Schools in the UNC system
are not allowed to use university
resources in political campaigns.
dth/jessie lowe
“We felt like we needed some-
thing for the Republican Party,” said
Nancy Young, spokeswoman for
Winston-Salem State University.
“It was the only solution we could
come up with at the time.”
She said neither e-mail was
right.
“We immediately knew it was a
mistake,” Young said.
Nathan Tabor, the party chair-
man for the Forsyth County
Republican Party, said he is upset
the university broke the law, and
also said he does not think it was
the first time this had happened.
“I would not be shocked to find
out that they had not sent out mul-
tiple Democratic e-mails in the
past,” Tabor said.
He said he was disappointed
that there was no disciplinary
action against Releford for break-
cussions might have been different,
Young said.
“I am still not satisfied,” Tabor
said. “I don’t think voters have been
protected.”
After the incident, the Forsyth
County Republican Party asked
the Forsyth Board of Elections to
remove the university as a voting
site.
Tabor said it is not about stop-
ping students from voting — it is
about fairness.
The board decided to keep the
university building a voting site
this year, but the school will have
to submit a written plan explain-
ing how the mix up was addressed
before the next election in 2012.
If this issue was about fairness
to students there would be voting

But Young defended Releford,
saying the administrator is not reg-

“She is not politically active,”
Young said.

There are any number of things
that might fail.”
Dhiren Thakker, associate dean
of the School of Pharmacy and
member of the office’s advisory
board, said entrepreneurship is a
risky enterprise.
“It’s hard to predict,” he said.
“Maybe out of every ten compa-
nies that are formed, only one or
two truly succeed.”
Revenue unsubstantial
The office is funded by facili-
ties and administration fees from
research sponsors and by revenue
from innovations already brought
to market. It retains 20 percent of
the net revenue garnered by sales of
licensed products, while the remain-
ing 80 percent is split evenly between
the inventor and his department.
Without a steady stream of
sponsorship funding, Innes said
staff cuts could be imminent.
“In an environment where state
budget cuts are creating all sorts of
problems, we benefit every time an
invention is licensed because a por-
tion of the profits come back,” said
Tim Quigg, associate department
chairman of the Department of
Computer Science and member of
the office’s advisory board. “We use
those dollars in many cases to supple-
ment the educational and research
budgets of the department.”
Innes said the office’s income is
not yet substantial.
“We have not made a ton of
money,” she said. “We only bring
about $3 million dollars in per year
and that’s split among many, many
people.”
The office does not fund any
projects directly, but the revenue
that goes back into departments
benefits researchers and allows
them to further their studies.
The office holds 472 U.S. patents
and 10 U.S. Trademarks.
Entrepreneurs
Quigg said different innovations
warrant different paths.
“There are some inventions
where the best approach is to
license it to existing industries,”
he said. “In other cases, the nature
of the invention is such that it can
best be brought to market by start-
ing a new company.”
Quigg said this way of operating
works to reward all sides involved.

Holocaust survivor

The present is the optimal time
to change the past.
That was the message Holocaust
survivor Irving Roth shared with
attendees Monday night in an event
sponsored by Christians United for

Roth told his story to a crowd of

The story began with Roth’s
explanation of the methodical
mass-murdering in Europe during
the twentieth century.
“There is one word that describes
this whole process: demonization,”

UNC readies for the Three Tar Heels reach
Tribe, minus Pianalto finals in tournament
by Aaron Taube
assistant Sports editor
North Carolina senior tight end
Zack Pianalto is on the road to
recovery after getting surgery on
his fractured right fibula Friday.
UNC football coach Butch Davis
said Monday that the surgery was
very successful. Pianalto sustained
the regular season-ending injury
Oct. 16 against Virginia.
His 95 career catches are the
most of any tight end in UNC his-
tory, and he is still the team’s lead-
ing pass catcher.
“It’s never easy to replace some-
body that’s a good football player,”
Davis said.
Navy pants bad luck for UNC
They probably weren’t the only
reason for UNC’s 33-10 defeat at
Miami on Saturday, but it’s worth
noting that the Tar Heels are now 1-4
when they wear navy pants. Davis
debuted the pants at Rutgers in 2008
in the Tar Heels’ 44-12 win against
Rutgers. Since then, the pants have
yielded less positive results.

Week off from the ACC
Saturday’s game against William

for the season opener, but the
teams moved the game so UNC
could play against Louisiana State.
UNC’s only game against Football
Championship Subdivision opposi-
tion falls in the middle of a string of
seven ACC games.
While some of the banged-up Tar
Heels might welcome the respite
from Football Bowl Subdivision
competition, senior safety Deunta
Williams disagrees.
“I love playing top-notch com-
petitors every week,” Williams said.
“When I play NCAA, I change my
schedule to all top-tier teams, so it’s
one of those types of teams for me.”

cash payments from Iran
KABUL, Afghanistan (MCT)
— Afghanistan President Hamid
Karzai on Monday acknowledged
that his office regularly received
large cash sums from Iranian offi-
cials but insisted there was nothing
untoward about the payments.
The New York Times, in an arti-
cle in Monday’s edition, described
the periodic transfer of bulging
sacks of currency to a senior Karzai
aide and strongly suggested that
the money was meant to curry
favor on behalf of the Tehran gov-
ernment in policy matters.
At a news conference in the
capital, the Afghan leader acknowl-
edged receiving semi-regular cash
payments totaling around $2 mil-
lion annually from Iran but said
the sums were meant to defray gov-
ernmental operating costs. Other
countries, including the United
States, make such donations as
well, he told reporters.

UNC received about $4.9 mil-

$7 million in the next five years.
The amount NCCU received from

recipients based on merit.
UNC and NCCU jointly applied
for the grant. The partnership
between the two institutions has
grown in the past six years.
Dr. Shelton Earp, director of the

Cancer Center, said the cancer
institutes worked on projects
together and recruited faculty.
“We tested the waters, tested

Goldberg said the collaboration
with NCCU is a great opportunity
because this is one of UNC’s first
major collaborations with a histori-

The grant allows UNC and
NCCU to pursue five major proj-
ects focused on cancer research,
especially in the black community.
“It is building the pipeline for
minorities,” Graffenreid said.
The projects will research pre-

As winter approaches and the
weather gets colder, most house-
holds will turn up their heat.
But a group of local residents
will refrain from adjusting their
thermostats to the colder tem-
peratures in an effort to conserve
energy and earn a few beers in the
process.
Carrboro resident Daniel Amoni
is hosting a contest with a group of
friends to see who can keep their
heat off the longest. The challenge
began in early October and will run
until Dec. 21, the first day of winter,
Amoni said.
“I just came up with the idea
because it was starting to get chilly
a couple weeks ago and I thought,
‘You know, how can I prevent
myself from turning on the heat?’”
Amoni said.
The contest has only one stipu-
lation — the households that can’t
handle the cold must buy the win-
ning contestants a six-pack of
locally brewed beer.
Amoni said environmental con-
cerns prompted him to establish
the contest.
“I don’t like the idea of burning
coal to heat my house, so mainly the
environmental impact was behind
the whole idea,” said Amoni.

Keeping

Cannabis — marijuana
goes by many names. But
whatever you want to call it, it is
a drug worthy of legalization —
at least for medicinal purposes.
In the U.S., medical marijuana
legalization is done on a state-by-
state basis. So far, 14 states have
already legalized the use of medi-
cal marijuana — and with good
reason.
In California, the big debate is
whether or not to legalize mari-
juana for personal use other than
medicinal purposes. But in North
Carolina, the bill to legalize it for
medicinal purposes has still not
passed.
A 2010 report on WebMD
compiled studies showing that
marijuana is effective for treating
a multitude of medical problems.
Some of the uses include relieving
chronic pain in AIDS patients and
patients with spinal cord injuries,
as well as relieving muscle spasms
in multiple sclerosis patients.
The addictive properties of mar-
ijuana are not as perilous as those
of other drugs that are legal in our
country — alcohol and tobacco.
So with all of this evidence
in support of the legalization of
medical marijuana, why hasn’t
North Carolina been one of the
14 states to legalize it?
In the past few years, North
Carolina has tried without suc-
cess to pass House Bill 1380,
which would allow patients
suffering from certain medical
conditions to legally use medical
marijuana with a prescription.
In August 2010, the state’s
democratic executive committee
passed a resolution supporting the
legalization of medical marijuana.
So what can you do as a voter
in North Carolina to aid in the
legalization of medical marijuana?
The best thing to do is to check
whether the candidate you plan
to vote for on Nov. 2 supports
the House Bill 1380, and if they
don’t, write or call and request
that they do.
The next question is that of
whether it is a good idea to legal-
ize marijuana for purposes other
than medical use. This issue is
being raised in California elec-
tions this year with Proposition
19. If passed, the bill will allow
people over 21 to possess, con-
sume, and grow small quantities
of taxable marijuana without
having a prescription.
The supporters of this bill
claim that these taxes would
bring money in to the state, while
cutting funding for foreign drug
cartels and reducing violence due
to drug trafficking.
But since the bill would not
legalize the mass production of
marijuana in the U.S., marijuana
consumption would still need to
be met by foreign growers.
This is evident in Holland,
where large-scale production of
marijuana is illegal, despite the
fact that small-scale possession,
consumption and growing is not
penalized for those more than 18
years old. This means that many
of the coffee shops selling mari-
juana still get their product from
illegal sources.
In contrast, marijuana grown
for medicinal purposes is grown
by local dispensaries, so foreign
cartels are not involved.
To recap, legalization of mari-
juana for purposes other than
medicinal would be ineffective
in reducing foreign drug trade;
however, legalization for medi-
cal purposes would benefit many
chronic pain patients, without
creating an out-of-control drug
culture.

Students win on tickets
Student buy-in yielded a ticket policy with
broad support; let’s make sure it works
T
he 2010-11 men’s basket-
ball ticket policy comes
as a welcome change
from last year’s unpopular one-
ticket distribution.
The Carolina Athletic
Association conducted an
online survey to see what pol-
icy was most popular with the
student body.
This process was the right
decision by the CAA. An elec-
tion was also a campaign prom-
ise by CAA President Brandon
Finch that he laudably deliv-
ered on.
The student body deserves
a say as they are the ones who
are affected by the CAA’s deci-
sion. Basketball is one of many
great things at this University
and the CAA needs to make
sure that everyone has the best
opportunity to enjoy it.
Finch and the CAA have

nnovation is the buzzword
these days at UNC, said
Student Body President
Hogan Medlin. His Arts
Innovation Steering Committee
— a group of students and faculty
concerned about artistic endeav-
ors at UNC — is an appropriate
complement to efforts already
underway to encourage scien-
tific innovation.
The committee hopes to
enact an expendable arts fund
to which campus organizations
and alumni could donate. The
money from the fund would go
toward establishing a greater
arts curriculum at UNC, as
well as other smaller projects
including renting out art sup-
plies and providing space for
artists to display their work.
Medlin stressed strength-
ening the selection of classes

Replacing Curran
New chief needs strong grasp of town’s unique nature
P
olice Chief Brian Curran’s
replacement should
strive to maintain bal-
ance in the Chapel Hill Police
Department’s priorities.
Being a police officer in a col-
lege town inevitably involves a
constant and complex evalua-
tion of how best to both enforce
the law and protect those living
in the town — students and
residents alike.
Chapel Hill’s mixed popula-
tion presents law enforcement
with a unique situation.
Though the UNC campus
has its own police, students are
not confined to campus, and
many of them live off campus,
side-by-side with permanent
residents and their families.

innovative ideas to the policy.
For example, CAA committed
to using Twitter updates to let
students know how many tick-
ets are left in the standby line.
Another new policy this
year gives students the ability
to purchase guest passes for
certain games.
By purchasing these passes,
a student receives one student
ticket and the number of guest
passes they paid for.
As CAA ticketing chairman
Tucker Idol noted, the guest
passes are especially benefi-
cial for graduate students who
may want to bring family to the
game.
Idol also stated that since so
few guest passes are offered per
game, current students would
not likely lose out on any seats.
This is hopefully the case.
These tickets are being
offered to the student body
majors. One specific goal is for
UNC to offer a dance minor in
its curriculum.
Many students decide not to
attend UNC because a dance
minor is not offered, Medlin
said.
The expendable arts fund
could provide resources to
build the minor and allow stu-
dents not searching for an art
major to express themselves
through other outlets.
Medlin’s plan for art inno-
vation is well thought-out —
he has specific intentions for
alumni events and a public
forum to stir up interest in the
community before the com-
mittee reports to the Board of
Trustees in March.
While Medlin is forwarding

Thorp’s “Innovate@Carolina”
plan is encouraging scientific
In short, the fuzzy boundar-
ies between town and campus
and the constant flow of people
across these boundaries neces-
sitate intense collaboration and
communication between the
Department of Public Safety
and Chapel Hill Police.
Following former Student
Body President Eve Carson’s
murder, Curran made such
collaboration a priority. His
successor must understand the
importance of this and ensure
that it continues.
Furthermore, the next chief
should also cultivate produc-
tive relationships with the
media. Such communication is
in everyone’s best interest and
fosters trust in government.

before they go on sale to the
general public.
The CAA should be applaud-
ed for putting the students first
and giving them a means to
bring their friends and family
to a game.
The students deserve these
tickets because they pay student
athletic fees. Also, they are the
most important entity at this
University and should be able to
watch its basketball team with
their families if they wish.
The guest passes are a great
idea that should be monitored
closely this upcoming season.
As with any new policy, the pros
and cons should be reviewed
and the students’ input should
be taken into account.
The CAA has, with student
voice, taken great strides in
getting a ticket policy that has
worked in the past, and that
students support.

definition of innovation: turn-
ing ideas into reality. They
counterbalance each other
well — Medlin and Thorp have
been collaborating on how to
incorporate the plans into one
strong push of innovation.
Medlin has even employed
Judith Cone, a special assistant
to Thorp for innovation and
entrepreneurship, to ensure
that the plans maintain con-
sistency with each other.
“Now is probably the most
critical time to evaluate where
the arts are headed at Carolina,”
said Medlin, and he seems dedi-
cated to his committee being
more than just good intentions.
We are excited to see what
the committee has in store for
UNC’s future in the arts when
it publishes its full report in
March.
In addition to understand-
ing the unique circumstances
of this college town, the new
chief will need to be able to dis-
criminate between what does
and does not merit the police
department’s attention.
The goal of all such decisions
should be promoting safety.
No doubt much consider-
ation will be given to appoint-
ing Curran’s successor. But in
the meantime, we hope that

will announce an interim chief
who understands the chal-

namely continuing to forge

Richard Burr is the right
choice for North Carolina
TO THE EDITOR:
For the past six years, Senator
Richard Burr, R-NC, has faith-
fully and effectively served the
citizens of North Carolina in the
United States Senate.
He has been an exemplary
steward of taxpayers’ money and
has continually fought for the
benefit of his constituents.
In an attempt to address the
ongoing massive federal spend-
ing, Sen. Burr recently co-spon-
sored a resolution that would
require the federal government
to annually balance the budget
as many state legislatures are
currently required to do so.
He also supports the freezing
of discretionary domestic spend-
ing at the 2008 levels, which
would save taxpayers almost
$900 billion over the next ten
years.
Recognizing the importance
of the military to North Carolina,
Sen. Burr has worked tirelessly
to secure quality medical care
and benefits for our veterans.
He has sponsored numerous
pieces of legislation that have
made it easier for veterans to
receive health care services, as
well as worked closely with the
VA to open six new commu-
nity based outpatient centers
throughout North Carolina to
sustain our growing population
of veterans.
Sen. Burr has also supported
legislation expanding the educa-
tional opportunities for veterans
under the GI Bill.
Sen. Burr is a passionate leg-
islator with the best interests of
North Carolinians at heart. We
need to keep Sen. Burr in the
United States Senate so that he
can continue to fight for our
future and the future of our
country.

Urban archery program
is needed in Chapel Hill
TO THE EDITOR:
It is a mistake for the Chapel
Hill Town Council to seek an
alternative to urban archery
(“Officials still discussing solu-
tion to Orange County deer
problem,” Oct.19).
The problem with using deer
repellent, planting vegetation
that deer don’t eat and building
fences is that none of these solu-
tions actually address the real
issue at hand.
Just like abstinence, hunting
is the only way to be 100 percent
sure that there won’t be a prob-
lem.
So why isn’t urban archery
a viable solution for the Town
Council’s problem? It probably
has to due less with how safe
urban archery is and more to
due with the fact that the Town
Council has no idea what urban
archery actually is.
The North Carolina Wildlife
Resource Commission will bring
in licensed hunters, most of
whom have handled a bow their
entire life.
Most of the hunting will take
place out of tree stands, far
away from roads and at such
angles that accidents are highly
unlikely.
So if your idea of urban
archery is some inexperienced

Support the Sales and Use
Tax increase when voting
TO THE EDITOR:
What can we do to put our-
selves on track for a better econ-
omy and more successful com-
munity? We can start by voting
for the proposed County Sales
and Use Tax on the ballot this
November.
This small increase is less than
a penny, but it means more jobs
and better schools for our com-
munity starting next year.
The revenue from the pro-
posed sales tax increase helps
create jobs. It helps attract new
businesses to Orange County,
and it helps grow the ones
already here. Better technol-
ogy and updated classrooms
help prepare our students to be
competitive members of a global
work force.
Improved libraries and emer-
gency response times help make
our communities better and safer
places to live and do business.
One-quarter cent is an additional
25 cents on a $100 purchase.
That’s a very small price for
enhanced schools, libraries, EMS
and strong, successful economic
development.
The Chapel Hill-Carrboro
Chamber, the Hillsborough/
Orange County Chamber, the
Greater Chapel Hill Realtors
Association, Orange County
Justice United and a host of
others have endorsed the tax
through a campaign called
