Council shelves library relocation
Members unanimously vote to expand current site
by Michelle Zayed
staff writer
Chapel Hill residents will continue to enjoy
books surrounded by the trees of Pritchard
Park after the Chapel Hill Town Council unan-
imously decided not to move the town’s only
library Monday night.
Mayor Mark Kleinschmidt addressed the
attendants of a town council meeting prior
to its start, explaining the development of the
library discussion.
“As clear as it was to me then that people
wanted this conversation, it is just as clear to
me today that people are done with that con-
versation,” Kleinschmidt said.
The decision was reached after an open dis-
cussion between the community and the coun-
cil, he said, and the town will return its focus to
the renovation of the current space and solving
traffic and access issues.
The proposed move would have relocated
the Chapel Hill Public Library to the space
in University Mall currently occupied by
Dillard’s.
The relocation would have saved the town
about $1.5 million, compared to an initial esti-
mate of $3 million to $4 million in savings,

Carolyn Elfland, the associate vice chan-

layoffs Friday, said the staff cuts are purely a
business decision and are not at all related
to the projected state budget cuts.
“The situation with printing is that it is

said Town Manager Roger Stancil.
Stancil presented the council a report show-
ing an apples-to-apples comparison of the two
library proposals, with the risks of moving to
University Mall laid out.
Unlike the design for the expansion project
at the 100 Library Drive location, which is 95
percent complete, the mall project design had
not been started, and the full cost would have
been hard to predict.
“As we begin to design, that number is in
jeopardy,” Stancil said.
If moved, the library would have had to take
on the annual costs of flood insurance, com-
mon area maintenance fees and the loss of rev-
enue taxes received from the Dillard’s space.
These expenses would total an annual cost
of about $182,000, according to the report.
Many Chapel Hill residents expressed their
concerns about a move to University Mall dur-
ing the meeting, and supporters of expanding
the current location attended wearing pink
heart-shaped stickers that said, “We love our
library in Pritchard Park.”

said employees knew that layoffs were immi-
nent. On Friday, nine of 21 employees in the
offices were laid off.
“They’ve known this has been an issue,”
she said.
Bernie Oakley, assistant director of UNC
Printing Services, said he thinks the busi-
ness problems come not from a decreased
demand for printing but from within the
organization’s management.
In more than six years working for UNC
Printing Services, Oakley said there have
been three rounds of layoffs.
“All the blame and all of the pain has been
paid by the staff and not the people making
the decisions,” he said.
Oakley said he’s made repeated attempts
to contact various administrators about
problems he sees in the organization, though
officials have not responded.

“What I’m trying to do is provide infor-

Campus Briefs
Nursing school to make 25
percent cut in enrollment
In response to consecutive
years of cuts and a projected cut
against the Board of Elections has
featured more than just the ques-
tions swirling around campaign
conduct.
As parties from both sides pre-
pare for a hearing tonight that
could result in the release of stu-
dent body president election
results, former speaker of Student
Congress Deanna Santoro has had
to field accusations that her motiva-
tions for filing the suit were based
on a friendship with candidate Rick
Ingram and that she timed the com-
plaint to hold up the process.
Candidate Ian Lee said he has
been asked by many why he hasn’t
resigned his position as student
body secretary, a standing that,
tonight or further delays, likely for
several days.
Jessica Womack, chief justice of
the Student Supreme Court, will
hear arguments from both par-
ties’ counsels regarding a motion
to dismiss the complaint against
Andrew Phillips, chairman of the
Board of Elections. Womack will
then decide either to dismiss the
complaint or hold a trial.
Santoro’s complaint states that
the board misinterpreted sections of
the Student Code in allowing Lee to
run for student body president even
though he held an executive office in
student government.
The suit has stalled election
results for a week. But Santoro
plaints ignored.
“My biggest frustration is that
this is something that I brought
up weeks ago, and it could’ve been
handled weeks ago,” she said.
Santoro added that her connec-
tion with Ingram has been exagger-
ated, saying that the extent of their
relationship was working together
last year on the campaign of Student
Body President Hogan Medlin.
“I would’ve never put myself
through all of this for something
that was corrupt and ridiculous,”
she said. “I’ve been attacked on a
daily basis for trying to stand up for
what is right.”
The BOE ruled in December that
Lee’s campaign was acceptable, and
projects
Lee said he’s been a bystander.
“I’ve been following the decision
and the law that was directed to me
by the BOE,” Lee said. “To have all
this thrown at me at the end of a
campaign — it’s unfortunate.”
Lee said he chose not to resign

Obama proposes 2012 federal budget
that will add $7 trillion to nation’s debt
WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT)
— President Barack Obama on
Monday proposed a federal bud-
get for fiscal 2012 that would pare
back record budget deficits, but still
add nearly $7 trillion to the nation’s
debt over the next decade.
Obama stressed that his plan
would slash the federal budget defi-
cit by $544 billion in one year, from
$1.6 trillion this year, fiscal 2011, to
$1.1 trillion in the fiscal year start-
ing Oct. 1. He also emphasized that
his budget for fiscal 2012 and the
following decade would cut the
red ink by $1.1 trillion from what it
would total if current policies were
left unchanged. He’d do it with a
combination of spending cuts and
tax increases.
But that falls far short of the
recommendations from his own
bipartisan budget deficit commis-
tion since security forces put down
widespread protests in December
2009, leaving eight people dead.
The smell of tear gas was in the

Smoking ban in NC
has concrete e≠ects
Tied to air quality, QuitlineNC calls
by lauren russell
senior writer
Several years ago Fran Gallagher
responded to a house call while
working as an emergency medi-
cal technician in Hartford, Conn.
The patient was having trouble
breathing.
When Gallagher arrived, she
saw a bare- and barrel-chested
man with his oxygen mask dan-
gling from his neck. His house
reeked and the walls were yellow.
The man was also puffing on a
cigarette.
“People with problems keep
coming in until they go into respi-
ratory arrest, and then they’ll die,”
she said, recalling her parents’ last
years battling with the common
lung disease emphysema.
Having seen smoking’s fatal
potential become reality both at
home and at work, Gallagher is
encouraged by data showing that
the efforts against smoking in the
state are discouraging smokers and
reducing exposure to smoke.
Since North Carolina’s restau-
rant and bar smoking ban went
into effect last January, air qual-
ity in restaurants and bars around
the state improved by 89 percent,
according to the N.C. Department
of Health and Human Services.
QuitlineNC has also seen a 35
percent jump in the number of
participants as a direct result of the
smoking ban, said Joyce Swetlick,
the director of cessation in the
department’s Tobacco Prevention
and Control Branch.
QuitlineNC is a free call service
for the state’s tobacco users to talk
to quit coaches for encouragement
and tips.
There were 9,840 callers in
2010, Swetlick said, a significant
increase from the 5,860 callers in
2009.
More advertisement about
QuitlineNC, as well as a new health
plan for state employees sponsor-
ing and supporting the organi-
zation, also contributed to the
increase in call volume, Swetlick
said.
She said the policies that limit
where people can smoke have prov-
en to help people quit smoking.
“The workers who were smoking
stop, individuals who are restricted
are more likely to seek help and
people who aren’t smoking have
safer places to eat and drink,” she
said.
Gallagher said her son had been
a sporadic smoker until he quit this
past year, and now he appreciates
the extra breathing room at the
bars.
“When he would go into the bars
when he was trying to quit smok-
ing, it’d make it really hard for him
to quit,” she said. “It’s made it a lot
easier.”
In 2008, 7.8 percent of N.C.
adults said they had been exposed
to secondhand smoke at work
every day during the past week,
according to the N.C. Behavioral
Risk Factor Surveillance System.
For the first nine months of
2010, preliminary data showed
that only 4.3 percent of adults are
now exposed to secondhand smoke

An 89 percent improvement in
air quality was seen in N.C. restau-
rants and bars since January 2010.
Only 4.3 percent of adults are
exposed to secondhand smoke
daily at work, according to data
from the first nine months of 2010.
There were 3,980 more callers
to QuitlineNC in 2010 compared
to 2009.
There were 1,381 complaints

daily at work.
Between January 2010 and
January 2011, there were 1,381
complaints about businesses vio-
lating the law in 618 facilities in
North Carolina, according to the
Tobacco Prevention and Control
Branch.
There were fewer complaints as
the year progressed.
Connie Pixley, Orange County’s
environmental health supervi-
sor, said businesses were gener-
ally compliant, and she can’t recall
making a visit for a violation since
last March.
Following the state trend,
Orange County had a high num-
ber of complaints at the beginning
of the year — at one point there
were 18 in one week — and the
complaints dropped off later in the
year, Pixley said.
“It has made our job much eas-
ier,” she said.

Carrboro board
votes to alter
W. Main Street
Plan would accommodate cyclists
by Chelsey Dulaney
staff writer
A plan to reconfigure a main
Carrboro road could mean safer
conditions for pedestrians — if it
is approved by the state.
The Carrboro Board of Aldermen
unanimously approved a proposal
Tuesday to pursue reducing a
stretch of West Main Street from
four lanes to three with turn and
bike lanes.
But the road is maintained by
the state, and the plan must be
approved by the North Carolina
Department of Transportation
before the town can proceed,
Carrboro Mayor Mark Chilton
said.
“It would be up to them to decide
how the road would be striped, but
they tend to take our thoughts into
consideration,” he said.
The town has not yet submit-
ted the plan to the NCDOT, said
Steve Abbott, a spokesman for the
department.
The proposal will go through a
process of meetings and reviews to
decide if the plan is safe and in the
best interest of the town, he said.
“If we don’t think it’s safe, we
won’t approve it,” Abbott said.
Chilton said the restructur-
ing of the stretch of West Main
Street between Weaver Street and
Hillsborough Road would ideally
be done when NCDOT repaves
the road, which happens every few
years.
Abbott said the road is not on
schedule to be repaved in 2011.
The plan would provide the
town with an almost cost-free way
to add in more safety options for
cyclists, Chilton said.
“It’s a very inexpensive way to
create new bike lanes,” he said.
“We’d just be reassigning pavement

Town Treasure event honors 12 residents

Lauded for service, contributions
by Conor Furlong
staff writer
Mary Morrow came to Chapel
Hill in 1949 seeking a degree in
mathematics, but more than half
a century later she has become a
permanent part of the town’s his-
tory.
“A lot of people have done more
service than I have,” said Morrow,
who has worked with the Chapel
Hill Historical Society, Chapel
Hill Museum and PlayMakers
Repertory Company. “I’m just
another cog in the community
wheel.”
The Chapel Hill Historical
Society honored Morrow and 11
other residents for service to the
community in the third annual
Town Treasures ceremony held
at the Robert and Pearl Seymour
Center on Monday afternoon.
Janice Tyler, interim director of
the Orange County Department on
Aging, said the program’s goal is to
archive the contributions of local
residents.
Each newly recognized indi-
vidual is commemorated by a bio-
graphical display at the center’s
Town Treasures exhibit.
“When the historical society con-
tacted us about the idea three years
ago, we were delighted to honor
these people,” Tyler said. “People
come by just to see the exhibit.”
Local photographer Catharine
Carter helped found the program
and also takes the pictures of all
the honorees displayed at the
exhibit.
“We were so appreciative of how
many little things they started to
benefit us and the community,”
Carter said.
Many of the inductees are tied
together through work for groups
like the Preservation Society of
Chapel Hill and other similar orga-
nizations.
Robert Patton, another new
addition to the list of Town
Treasures, served in the U.S.
Army during World War II and
helped liberate several Nazi prison
camps.
After his service, Patton came
to Chapel Hill in 1964, working in
communications technology that
paved the way for interactive com-
puting.
“My mission was to simply find
problems and solve them with
computers,” he said.
Patton, who has been active-
ly involved with the University
Presbyterian Church and the his-
torical society, said he loves the
town’s cultural appeal.
“Being able to go downtown
and see young folks with the whole
world ahead of them — it’s a real
joy,” he said.
Inductee Mary “Bitty” Holton
served as president of the Chapel
Hill Garden Club and was also
chairwoman of the Chapel Hill
bicentennial parade in 1993, orga-
nizing the event and managing
those in the parade.
“It was lots of work but lots
of fun,” Holton said. “Everyone
was caught up in celebrating our
town.”
Although the afternoon focused
on the new class of Town Treasures,
many shied away from receiving
praise.
“Being of service is
always a reward
in itself. You
don’t have to be
thanked.”
Jean holcomb, viking travel
Jean Holcomb, a new addition
who founded local travel agency
Viking Travel, stressed the inherent
value of community service.
“Being of service is always a
reward in itself,” she said. “You
don’t have to be thanked.”
Other inductees include the
late Margie Pfaff, Velma Perry,
Elizabeth Ryan, Anne Barnes,
Richard Johnson, Sen. Ellie
Kinnaird, D-Orange, Jane Monroe
and Clarence Whitefield.

Meditate,
for better
health
and focus
I
’d like nothing more than to
include a meditative exercise
in this column, but I can’t: My
readers are too busy to meditate
— or so they believe. They have no
idea what they’re missing.
For everyone who thinks med-
itation is nothing more than sit-
ting cross-legged and humming,
let’s go over the facts.
Research has shown that med-
itating habitually can lower blood
pressure, improve one’s immune
system and may decrease the risk
of heart attack.
Meditation also helps you focus.
In a recent study, subjects trained
for three months in meditation
developed enhanced “attentional
stability,” i.e. focused thought free
from mental wandering.
For these reasons, meditation
must be taken seriously. But what
exactly defines the act?
Rob Nairn, author of “What
is Meditation?” calls it “a highly
alert and skillful state of mind
because it requires one to remain
psychologically present and ‘with’
whatever happens in and around
one without adding to or sub-
tracting from it in any way.”
It’s a mouthful, but that last
point about arithmetic is a crucial
one, especially for students. Non-
meditators almost never think
about anything without over-
evaluating, contextualizing or oth-
erwise judging it, and that’s only
natural. They fail to be mindful.
Mindfulness is a concept inex-
tricably linked to meditation,
involving nonjudgmental, cen-
tered awareness. When we criti-
cize our surroundings or ourselves
we miss out on the de-stressing
benefits of being mindful.
And when we let our minds
wander to other topics, we may
also set ourselves up for a bad
mood later on. Surprising new
research in Science magazine has
indicated that daydreaming might
actually make people sadder.
The moral is: Mindful focus is
good for you; unbridled reverie is
bad. And while most of us can’t
escape to the Himalayas to drink
tea and ponder, all of us can (and
should) afford ourselves some
time for meditation. Thousands
of guided audio exercises, some
as short as five minutes, are avail-
able online. UNC Counseling
and Wellness Services even offer
group meditation classes.
If you’re still stuck in the
mindset that sitting peacefully
would be a waste of time, you
might try an ancient Hindi prac-
tice that incorporates both mind-
fulness and physical fitness: yoga.
Today, in America, the link
between yoga and meditation is
often downplayed, but in tradi-
tional practice the former is noth-
ing without the latter. If you want
to experience the psychological
benefits of meditation within
a modern yoga class like those
offered at the SRC, you must be
mindful: Do not judge your body,
and stay present in your breath-
ing and in the sensations that the
poses create within you.
Practiced rightly, yoga helps
tune out the stressors in life and
“tune in to what your body is
doing,” says Lindsey Cannon, stu-
dent and yoga instructor for the
Campus Rec. She learned early on
“how important it is to focus on
your thoughts,” and believes that
focus is responsible for its practi-
tioners post-session state of rest.
I can personally attest to that
rested feeling. I attended one
of Lindsey’s classes last spring
before a morning midterm. The
relaxation I procured lasted well
through my exam, helping me to
focus better than coffee ever has.

if the case against him, and
his dismal interpretation of
the Student Code, is dismissed

But it shouldn’t happen. The
suit needs to go forward, and
plaintiff Deanna Santoro has
the standing for it to do so.
Almost everyone wants this
election to be over. And it would
be great to know the results. But
more important for the integ-
rity of the Code and for student
government would be genu-
ine resolution to the Board of
Elections’ mishandling.
Tonight’s hearing is to weigh
Phillips’ argument that Santoro
lacks the proper authorization
in the Code to bring a suit
against him.
Phillips is getting it wrong.
While the relevant sections

his University lacks a
student public attorney
that would serve those
who bring suits against student
government.
In light of the recent law-
suit brought against the Board
of Elections that caused the
student body president elec-
tion results to be withheld,
it’s a good time to reconsider
the position of a “Plaintiff ’s
Counsel.”
Presently, students who
wish to file a complaint must
prepare their case themselves.
The student government, in
this most recent case the BOE,
has the Solicitor General to
prepare its defense.
This leaves students at a
severe disadvantage, even
when they have a legitimate
claim against a practice of our
student leaders.

regarding ability to sue are
more nuanced than the sec-
tions he is alleged of violating,
his motion to dismiss is just as
inexcusably wrong as the deci-
sions he is being sued over.
He writes that Santoro doesn’t
meet the criteria for being
adversely affected by the BOE’s
failure to force Ian Lee to resign
from his executive position
before running for president.
His motion states that her
injury from resigning as speak-
er, which Santoro had to do in
order to sue, stemmed from
her “willful action.” Not from
the shoddy work by the BOE
that drove her decision.
He also states that the com-
plaint was not filed within the
96-hour window to challenge a
BOE decision.
We don’t buy any of these
arguments, and the Student
Fair counsel
The Student Code can be a
very complicated document.
This most recent suit stems
from the belief that the BOE
misinterpreted a section of the
Code when ruling on the legiti-
macy of Ian Lee’s campaign.
Given the short period of
time students have to prepare
their case, it can be very dif-
ficult to organize an effective
argument without the prop-
er help or knowledge of the
Code.
“It’s really time intensive
and you really have to know
what you’re doing just to get a
hearing,” said Anthony Dent.
“A general student will be lost
when they try to bring a suit
against somebody.”
Dent said he and Erik Davies
established a program for stu-
dents to obtain legal advice
on the Student Code and the
call reporting harassment in
the Kathrine R. Everett Law
Library.
Among the suggestions posed
by law students was a buzzer
system for doors and a sign-in
sheet for all users. Others rec-
ommended requiring individu-
als to present a OneCard start-
ing at midnight — a regulation
that is already in place at the
Undergraduate Library.
The OneCard system at the
UL works well because it allows
members of the community to
use the library during normal
hours while still maintaining
an emphasis on the safety and
security of students.
This system ought be instat-
ed at the law library as well.
Detractors from the pro-
posed change have pointed to

Supreme Court shouldn’t buy
them either.
The BOE’s decision to allow
Ian Lee to run facilitated a
conflict of interest situation,
whereby Lee was in charge of
updating the Code.
That affected Santoro directly
and adversely as she was speak-
er of Student Congress, and
resigning was the only way she
could challenge the decision.
With respect to the stat-
ute of limitations, we direct
Phillips to the definitions in
the Code — they can be help-
ful. It defines “act” to include a
“refusal to act.”
And it was Phillips’ refusal to
act that makes up a large part
of Santoro’s complaint.
If the BOE thinks it avoids
culpability by refusing to inves-
tigate violations, it seems sorely
mistaken.
Supreme Court. Davies has
been working with the plain-
tiffs of the most recent case
against the BOE, but not from
an official position.
Legal advice should not be
given just by volunteers to those
who sue. It should be provided
at all times by someone familiar
with the Code in order to make
the process fair for all.
This new position would
be a “public prosecutor” and
would serve the same role as
the Solicitor General but on
the opposite side of the court-
room. It would give the plain-
tiff assistance that would level
the playing field when it comes
to these suits.
It is imperative, given the
time constraints of most cases,
that plaintiffs have someone
with knowledge of the Supreme
Court process on their side.

These concerns are valid,
but they distract from the real
instances of trespassing that
pose a risk to students. It’s per-
fectly reasonable to have some
regulation of access to a build-
ing — even a public one.
And DPS spokesman Randy
Young confirmed that campus
police have in all instances
responded to genuine safety
concerns.
Issues of safety should not
be taken lightly. And the fact
that recent events have creat-
ed a cause for concern, we feel
that it is not unreasonable to
restrict access to the law library
to students after midnight.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Government recognition
of commitment outdated
TO THE EDITOR:
The article from Feb. 11,
“Students marrying for in-state
tuition,” reminded me again
of my confusion about some
people’s belief in the sanctity of
marriage.
Clearly, marriage is no longer
the religious institution or even
the commitment that it once
was. I wonder, then, not only
why some individuals insist on
excluding certain people from
the act of marriage, but also why
others insist on maintaining it
as the only form of government-
recognized commitment. Why
is it, for example, that only mar-
riage ensures that a loved one
can visit you in the hospital or
allows loved ones to use anoth-
er’s health insurance? For those
barred from marriage as well as
those in non-traditional rela-
tionships, this exclusion can be
extremely harmful. Why do we
not allow for more open commit-
ments where, for example, a cou-
ple could somehow prove to the
government their commitment
to one another and not have to
work through a traditionally reli-
gious institution?
In a slightly more radical
sense, why do we not completely
rid marriage of all of its benefits
and instead force everyone to
file taxes as individuals, allow
anyone with permission to visit
loved ones in the hospital, and
even make everyone use their
own health insurance. To me,
the insistence on government
recognition of one’s romantic
relationships seems unnecessary
and outdated.

Stand and dance in place
of children who cannot
TO THE EDITOR:
For the past 13 years, the UNC
Dance Marathon has embodied
some of Carolina’s best charac-
teristics: tireless energy, endless
enthusiasm and an unmatched
passion for helping others. This
year, I saw firsthand the amount
of time and effort put into the
organization by my 13 fellow
steering members, more than
300 committee members, and
more than 1,000 UNC students
who have pledged to take a stand
for the patients and families of
N.C. Children’s Hospital.
“For The Kids” is a well-known
phrase around campus. We stand
and dance for those who cannot
in a display of emotional, physi-
cal and financial support for the
kids.
I could not be prouder of the
students who have worked year-
long to recognize the mission
of the UNC Dance Marathon.
I speak for the entire Overall
Committee when I say thank
you to the students of UNC,
the doctors and nurses at N.C.
Children’s Hospital, and thou-
sands of patients and their fami-
lies for allowing us to be inspired
by each of them every day.
The marathon is the realiza-
tion of our yearlong hopes and
hard work for UNC-DM. On
Feb. 18 and 19, come and see why
we stand.

Keune’s narwhal campaign
sounds eerily prophetic
TO THE EDITOR:
As this year’s election cycle
finally draws to a close, we should
look to the past to learn more
about the present. The real win-
ner of this election may actually
be someone who ran last year on
a farcical platform with a semi-
mythical mascot. Yes, ladies and
gentlemen, we are talking about
Nash Keune.
Sure, he was an endear-
ing ginger with a staggering
690-page platform and a hast-
ily constructed fortress that
appeared overnight to loom over
the quad. But Nash’s satirically
fueled campaign was more than
that. He was out to highlight the
silly extremes our student body
president election season often
reaches.
Though less comical this year,
this election cycle has sustained
Keune’s point exactly. This year’s
batch of candidates has bullied,
yelled and quibbled through all
sorts of media — equine or oth-
erwise. Was Keune’s 2010 cam-
paign just for parody or eerily
prophetic?
No matter the winner, we
should use this year’s election
as a lesson for the future. We
may never have another “Elect
Yourself ” campaign, but it should
be remembered as a humorous
caution for elections to come.

Many factors induced
North Carolina to secede
TO THE EDITOR:
In a recent editorial discuss-
ing the ongoing conflict over
Silent Sam (“Slavery is what the
Confederacy stood for,” Jan. 26),
the author opened with the old
saying that people are entitled to
their own opinions but not their
own facts.
The generalization that seces-
sion was purely over the issue of
slavery does not apply to several
states, North Carolina in particu-
lar. So let’s get the facts straight.
On May 20, 1861, North Carolina
became the last state to join the
Confederacy, five months after
South Carolina had first done so.
Unlike South Carolina and
other Deep South states, which
were more thoroughly dominat-
ed by a plantation aristocracy,
North Carolina’s pro-secession
slaveholders had to contend
with the state’s powerful bloc
of yeoman farmers, who were
mostly pro-Union in the early
days of secession. In February
1861, state legislators asked vot-
ers in North Carolina to clarify
the state’s stance on secession.
Pro-Unionist voters prevailed,
and North Carolina was poised
to remain a part of the Union.
Matters changed in April
when Lincoln called upon North
Carolina to assist in putting down
secession. North Carolinians did
not think it was permissible to
prevent other states from leaving
the Union and wanted no part in
invading neighboring states. While
slavery was undoubtedly a factor,
it was ultimately a complex set of
circumstances under which North
Carolina reluctantly seceded.
