SBP race attracts 7 hopefuls

The candidates said they want to avoid a race like last years.

Seven juniors declared their candidacy for student body president Tuesday night, expressing a desire to avoid the sort of controversy that defined the race last year. I want to keep it clean and fair, said Brian Min, a psychol-
ogy and womens studies doublemajor. I know every candidate, and they are all brilliant and represent Carolina well. Nico Garces, an interpersonal and organizational communications studies major, said he learned from last year not to get on anybodys bad side. Stay as far away from bad blood as you can, he said. It was just like one giant catfight. Last years campaign saw a slew of Student Code violations, insults and eventually a disciplinary hearing before the Board of Elections. Candidates will begin collecting petition signatures this week.
Warche Downing is a public policy major and a social and economic justice minor. He wants to focus on tuition.
Leigh Fairley is a sociology and political science double major. She wants to expand the FixMyCampus initiative. Will Leimenstoll is an environmental studies and geology double major. His campaign slogan is Together We Will.
Nico Garcs is an interpersonal and organizational communications studies major. He is hoping for a clean campaign. Tim Longest is an economics and philosophy double major. He stressed values rather than specific projects.
Calvin Lewis Jr. is a peace, war and defense major. He wants to focus on ownership, transparency and partnership. Brian Min is a psychology and womens studies double major. He also wants to keep the campaign clean and fair.
To appear on the ballot, each must collect 1,250 by Jan. 31 either online or by paper. The candidates shared the highlights of their platforms Tuesday. Leigh Fairley, a sociology and

town to tighten up on future Occupy eorts

Occupy protesters will hold an event in response to a memo from city government.

In a move that echoes a central controversy from last years election, Student Body Secretary Adam Jutha will stay in his student government position while also vying for another. But the office in question and the legality of the run differ. Jutha is running for senior class president, with the full permission of campus election law. Last year, Ian Lee ran for student body president without resigning his position as student body secretary. The Board of Elections upheld Lees candidacy, but the ensuing controversy contributed to the most contentious student election in recent memory. An updated version of Title VI, the portion of the Student Code that deals with elections, now allows the student

body secretary to run for any position without resigning. The bill took effect in the fall. Jutha said he is committed to avoiding the controversy of last year. The first thing we thought of was to make sure it wasnt breaking any rules in Student Code, and that was first and foremost, Jutha said. Lee said his position as secretary became too much of a distraction last year, and Jutha should take care to avoid that obstacle. Adam is going to have to be very careful to keep the campaign about him and his running mate Sarah (Kaminer)

Occupy Chapel Hill is no longer camped out in the Peace and Justice Plaza, but officials havent forgotten the ordinances broken during its three month stay. A Jan. 18 memo from Town Manager Roger Stancil calling for future enforcement of these ordinances has provoked a disapproving response from protesters. As part of that response, Occupy protesters will hold a Help Us Take Back the Commons! event Sunday at 2 p.m. They are encouraging attendees to bring signs, noisemakers and friends, according to a post on their website. In the memo, Stancil described town rules violated by the Occupy Chapel Hill Movement while in front of the East Franklin Street post office.

Members of the Greek system will report back to the Board of Trustees as early as today for the first time since the board voted to reform the systems recruitment. University officials said that, if heard, their message will be a positive one. In November 2010, the board mandated that fraternities and sororities begin offering a spring alternative to fall recruitment in an effort to give interested freshmen more time to seek other opportunities on campus. Administrators and fraternity leaders said all chapters complied with the new recruitment policy, though some might not end up accepting any new members from spring recruitment. But former trustee Roger Perry, who initiated the reform in 2010 and wanted to eliminate fall rush entirely, said meaningful change cant be accomplished while fall recruitment remains popular. I think (spring rush) would help, but only marginally not significantly, he said. It may make some difference, but I dont think having spring rush would take away much pressure, he said. Those who are inclined to rush in the fall still will. All 21 of UNCs fraternities offered a spring recruitment this year, said Aaron Bachenheimer, director of the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life and Community Involvement. Every chapter has been really willing and cooperative with this and offered really attractive spring rush options, said Jack Partain, president of the Interfraternity Council. People want to make it out that everyone is up in arms about this mandate, but actually all the chapters have been cooperative and willing to offer good alternatives, he said.

Police officers were called to a local trailer park after Goss took a mans decorative flamingo and began beating it against the door of his trailer. The bird lost a wing, a foot and its neck in the assault. Somebody call PETA.

Student Congress delays vote on honor system bill
A bill to reserve $16,500 in funding each year for the honor system was tabled at the full Student Congress session Tuesday night until the bodys next meeting. Student Body President Mary Cooper said she wants to have more involvement in its discussion, Speaker Zach De La Rosa said. Rules and judiciary committee chairwoman Paige Comparato said some members are opposed to the bill, and as co-sponsor, Cooper wants to address the issues at the next meeting.
campus BRIEFs
Books, films, music albums all have been adapted for the stage. Come Feb. 2, newspaper column can be added to the list. Dan Savage, popular sex columnist and founder of the It Gets Better project, will host a live version of his regular column Savage Love at UNC and will answer audience-generated questions about love,
sex and relationships. The event, contracted to cost $18,500, is hosted by the Carolina Union Activities Board. CUABs activities are funded by student organizations fees of about $13 per student per year. President Cierra Hinton said the group has been trying to bring Savage for the past two years, since It Gets Better began. This years board really got behind it and decided that this would be a good program, she said. Grace Peter, culture chairwoman for CUAB, said she wanted to bring Savage to campus because his advice is relevant. Topics like love and sex are issues that all college students have an opinion about,
she said. Peter also said that Savages talk will not be for the sexually squeamish. It will definitely not be PG, Dan holds nothing back when giving his opinion, she said. But Savages candor shouldnt scare people away, Peter said. The topic of sex can be awkward or scary for some students to handle, so I urge people to come with an open mind, she said. The Internet-based It Gets Better project was founded by Savage and his husband in 2010 to prevent suicide among bullied LGBT youth. The site propagates video messages in support of the LGBT movement that tell
youth their lives will improve. By the end of 2010, It Gets Better had raised more than $100,000. Peter said that she wanted to bring Savage to UNC because of this support for the LGBT community. His activism has helped many LGBT youth to live their lives with courage and hope while being true to their identity, Peter said. Savages column, Savage Love, runs weekly in The Stranger, an independent newspaper printed in Seattle. He responds to letters mainly about sex and sexuality.

Sculpture on loan permanently donated to town

A 16-foot, multicolored sculpture by artist Carl Regutti was donated to the Town of Chapel Hill by GS Carolina, a Raleighbased real estate company, and the David L. Guy Family. The sculpture worth about $90,000 is the largest gift of art that the town has received to date, said Jeffrey York, Chapel Hill public and cultural arts administrator. We are delighted to add such a fine sculpture to our growing art collection, he said in a press release. The sculpture has been on loan to the town since 2009 and is currently located at the intersection of North Columbia Street and Martin Luther King Jr., Boulevard in front of Fire Station 1. But Kathy Thompson, Chapel Hill public library director, is eyeing the sculpture for what could become a sculpture trail at the newly renovated library when that project is completed, according to the press release.

Weaver street is open to foot trac after months of construction

By Rachel Butt
Staff Writer
After more than 10 months of construction, West Weaver Street reopened Monday morning to increased foot traffic and relieved business owners. The project involved sidewalk improvements in addition to the reconstruction of the existing road, the installation of additional piping and storm inlets and a water main replacement, Carrboro Public Works Director George Seiz said in an email. The town added new curb ramps at intersections, marked cross walks to improve pedestrian and disability access and widened the bike lanes, Seiz said. Carrboro resident Gretchen Gaskill said the improvements were helpful. I got around with my bike during the reconstruction, Gaskill said. The road was full of potholes, but its much nicer now. But UNC graduate student Rose Aslan said bike
lanes and crosswalks havent expanded enough. I thought they would widen the bike lanes but they didnt, she said. Everyone jaywalks. They need more crosswalks. The town tried to support local businesses during the construction, but businesses said foot traffic still decreased. Annette Stone, Carrboro economic development director, said the town was conscious of the impact of the construction on the areas businesses. The town used signs to let people know Weaver Street was open for business, constructed in phases, and placed ads in the Carrboro Citizen to minimize the effects, Stone said. We did everything we could to let the community know we were open for business, she said. The phasing plan allowed the town to close one section of the street while leaving the rest open for business access. But Alison Nickles, apprentice at the Beehive Hair Salon, said traffic patterns still changed and foot traffic
was reduced. She said now that the street has reopened walk-in business has started to pick up again. Jason Brill, assistant manager of Spotted Dog restaurant, agreed that business had picked up. It was noticeable when they reopened the street, Brill said. There was more traffic flow. The Weaver Street Reconstruction Project began on March 7, and is estimated to last about one year, according to a recent press release. Workers must still complete pavement markings, seal sidewalks and curb joints and restore areas that are disturbed, according to Seiz. The town exceeded its budget of about $1 million for the project because it encountered unstable soil that it had to remove and replace, Seiz said. The effort was needed to ensure the longevity of the roadway pavement structure, he said. Contact the City Editor at city@dailytarheel.com.

Some Carrboro residents worry that the development will harm downtown.

Plans for a mixed-use development that would offer affordable housing and office space can move forward after the Carrboro Board of Aldermen approved a rezoning request Tuesday. The Board approved a request for additional residential density for the Shelton Station development in a 4-3 vote at a public hearing. The meeting was a continuation of a series of public hearings that started June 14 after Ken Reiter, a project developer with the Durham-based real estate development company Belmont Sayre, submitted a rezoning request for the project. Shelton Station would be located at 500 N. Greensboro St., would include approximately 20 percent commercial space, and would be built on a total of 2.5 acres, including parking. It is slated to include nearly 100 residential units and to cost $15 million. Residents have expressed concerns about the impact the development will have on traffic and increasing residential density in downtown Carrboro. I can see that its not going to do anything but increase traffic exponentially, Carrboro resident Nancy Salmons said. Youre going to add all these people on foot and with cars to an already congested area. Damon Seils, chairman of the advisory planning board, said the town planning
department was more concerned about how the project would affect the landscape of downtown Carrboro. Alderwoman Jacquelyn Gist expressed the same concern. This does not fit in Carrboro. It is not good for Carrboro. It is bad for us aesthetically. It is bad for us economically, she said. When the board approved the residential density request on Nov. 15, it asked that the developers notify neighbors of future developments, look into reducing the traffic impacts and consider whether the residential density is appropriate for this location. Reiter adjusted the plan accordingly. Weve heard the neighbors loud and clear, Reiter said. Weve reduced the scale of the project significantly. The developers decreased the number of residential units from 114 to 96 and increased the non-residential usage by adding more retail and office space to their proposal. The project has been criticized for its size, but isnt as large as 300 East Main, another new Carrboro development. Its a big project, but its certainly not the biggest one weve seen, Seils said. Despite concerns over traffic and undergraduate student housing which the development will not include many expressed support for the project. We know that for Carrboro to be locally resilient, Carrboro needs to change and is changing, Alderwoman Randee Haven-ODonnell said. With rezoning approved, developers can put together an application.

Proposed Meadowmont Route

2012 2015: New bus investment and service begins in Durham
Local officials are advancing plans for a light rail system that would connect Durham and Chapel Hill even though the tax that would fund it is months, and possibly years, away from passing. At Monday nights Chapel Hill Town Council meeting, the council voted to recommend that The Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization which is made up of both county and town officials from Orange, Durham and Chatham counties continue evaluating two proposed routes for the light rail. The recommendation also said the council prefers a transit path through the proposed Hillmont development, one of two routes being considered. The planning organization will meet Feb. 8 to determine whether one or both routes should be studied further. Chapel Hill will be represented at the meeting by Mayor Mark Kleinschmidt, who is a voting member on the board. Planner Ellen Beckmann said the group will likely evaluate both options. Neither route can be built until Wake and Orange Counties pass a sales tax referendum to fund the project. Durham passed its referendum in November.

If constructed, the 17-mile corridor would extend from downtown Durham to Chapel Hills UNC Hospitals. The first of the two routes being considered would run through Meadowmont and across a section of Little Creek Bottomlands. The second
would follow N.C. 54 through Hillmont. SOURCE: TRIANGLE REGIONAL TRANSIT PROGRAM Both routes would include stops at DTH/MEG WRATHER Duke Medical Center and the Friday Center. Residents at a Nov. 14 town public hearing raised concern over the Meadowmont route, which would cut through a wetland and separate Cedars of Chapel Hill Retirement Community residents from their health center. Those concerns were a factor in the councils recommendation of the Hillmont route. David Bonk, Chapel Hills long range and transportation planning manager, said either plan will serve students. The routes were designed to provide access to the University, he said. He said the next step will be an environmental assessment of each route. Once the proposals are complete and funding is approved, the corridor would be built as the final step of three phases. The first phase includes bus improvements and a separate commuter rail line connecting Durham to Research Triangle Park and Raleigh, scheduled to

Geoffrey Green, a graduate student in UNCs Department of City and Regional Planning, said a light rail system would provide an alternative to biking or taking the bus to campus, but would not serve all students living off campus. I think it would help folks in the Meadowmont apartments and any other transit-oriented developments built in its wake, but there are many complexes not near the line, he said. The light rail would provide an alternate method of transit for Robertson Scholars, who commute between Duke and UNC by bus. Robertson Scholar Alison Kibbe said she might use the light rail if stations were nearby and trains ran frequently. I think that generally I wish there was more easy public transportation around the Durham-Chapel Hill area, especially between them. Contact the City Editor at city@dailytarheel.com.

Spilling the beans: coffee in Chapel Hill

By Jenny Surane and Sarah Clover
Staff Writers
Chapel Hill and Carrboro residents try to be environmentally and socially conscious and that extends to their coffee mugs. In both towns, coffee shops have decided to use fair trade and locally roasted beans. Eight locally based shops and three shops on campus serve fair or direct trade coffees. Of the 11 shops, six use Counter Culture Coffee beans, which come from a Durham roastery.
Scott Conary, who owns Open Eye Cafe in Carrboro, said customers care about where coffee comes from, and Sara Skelton, a member of the Fair Local Organic movement on campus, agreed. A fair trade product is held to higher standards, and thus, the workers have access to benefits like living wages and reasonable working conditions, Skelton said in an email. Obviously these benefits justify the need for socially conscious coffee.

A year after Egyptian revolt, little progress made
CAIRO (MCT) A year ago, Tahrir Square was a carnival of unity Egyptian protesters stood Christian with Muslim, Islamist with leftist, women with men, rich with poor for the common cause of bringing down Hosni Mubaraks authoritarian regime. Now, Mubarak is gone, and so is the show of solidarity that ended his regime and galvanized other Arab Spring rebellions. The revolutionary movement has fragmented into rival blocs overseen by an all-powerful military council. The square itself is a bullet-pocked battleground where a small, perpetual demonstration snarls traffic and chokes downtown Cairo businesses. Within this mosaic, Islamists have emerged as Egypts dominant new political force, much to the dismay of liberal protesters, whose Western-style demands sometimes run counter to strict religious teachings. As the competing groups bicker over parliamentary posts and the ruling Mubarak-era generals wield their authority, revolutionary activists say their dreams of speedy democratic reforms and civil liberties seem as distant as ever. We didnt win, said Mohamed Abla, a well-known painter and vocal critic of the military council. The revolution has moved into another stage now, and it seems we still have to fight and fight and fight. After a bloody and difficult transitional year, Egyptians are expected to stream back to Tahrir Square by the thousands Wednesday, though theres no clear revolutionary agenda for the commemoration of the first protests last Jan. 25. Some groups call for a renewed uprising to bring down the military council; others want a somber remembrance of the martyrs, the estimated 1,000 protesters who were killed in the past years uprising and many subsequent spasms of political violence. Liberal blocs are worried that Islamists will turn the event into a victory rally after winning more than 70 percent of parliamentary seats in the first postMubarak election. The Muslim Brotherhood and the literalist Salafist factions, meanwhile, are nervous that the gathering will lead to clashes with government security forces, forcing Islamists yet again to choose between supporting fellow protesters or staying in the good graces of the powerful generals. The discord surrounding the anniversary mirrors the frank talks going on in closed political negotiations, with the newly emboldened Brotherhood pulled in at least three different directions: left toward established liberal parties, right toward the ultraconservative Salafists or into a risky partnership with the status-quo generals. Women, Coptic Christians and the revolutionary youth barely register in power-sharing negotiations, those groups complain.

Romneys tax returns show $21.7 million in income

WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his wife, Ann, paid $3 million in federal taxes in 2010 on nearly $21.7 million of income derived from a vast array of investments, amounting to an effective tax rate of 13.9 percent, according returns released by his campaign Tuesday. In addition, the Romneys expect to pay $3.2 million on $20.9 million of income for the 2011 tax year, for an effective rate of 15.4 percent. Thats substantially lower than the top 35 percent marginal tax rate on wages and salaries and much lower than the rate than his political rivals. President Obama paid an effective tax rate of 26 percent in 2010, while former House Speaker Newt Gingrich paid a rate of 31.6 percent. Experts say Romney benefits from a tax code that allows investors to keep more of their income than wage earners, particularly investors in the rarefied world of private equity. Even among his wealthy peers a cohort that particularly benefits from the lower capital gains rate Romneys rate is below the average 18.5 percent effective tax rate paid by the richest 1 percent, according to the Tax Policy Center. I pay all the taxes that are legally required and not a dollar more, Romney said in a debate in Tampa on Monday night hosted by NBC. I dont think you want someone as the candidate for president who pays more taxes than he owes. Im proud of the fact that I pay a lot of taxes, and the fact is there are a lot of people in this country that pay a lot of taxes, he added. Id like to see our tax rate come down and focus on growing the country, getting people back to work. Thats our problem in this country right now. The longtime private-equity chieftain hopeful released his tax returns after pressure from Gingrich and at the urging of his political allies, who fretted that the matter was becoming a dangerous distraction.

two films that are valentines to the early days of cinema. Hugo, Martin Scorseses heartfelt love letter to filmmaking, earned the most nominations with 11, including best picture, best director and best screenplay as well as several technical Oscars. The Artist, the low-budget black-and-white silent movie that offers a glimpse of Hollywood during its transition to the talkies earned 10 nominations, including nods for best picture, best director, screenplay, actor and supporting actress. George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Brad Pitt and Octavia Spencer were among the performers receiving nominations, while The Descendants and Moneyball
also scored best picture nods as the field for the 84th Academy Awards was announced in Beverly Hills. Rounding out the nine best picture nominees are War Horse, The Tree of Life, Midnight in Paris, The Help, Hugo, and Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close. Disappointing comedy fans was the no-show Bridesmaids, which some had suggested could win a best picture nod. However, the raunchy girl comedy wasnt completely shut out. Melissa McCarthy picked up a best supporting actress nomination, and the film received a best original screenplay nomination for Saturday Night Live star Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo.

In an election-year State of the Union address, President Barack Obama outlined steps he wants the country to take on its way to economic recovery. Obamas speech outlined what will potentially bolster his reelection campaign, said Jason Roberts, a UNC political science professor. He is going to try and draw a contrast between himself and Congress and the rest of the Republican candidates, he said. Several UNC student organizations, both in support and against the presidents reelection, held viewing parties Tuesday night in honor of the presidents third State of the Union address. Tar Heels for Obama, in collaboration with UNC Young Democrats, gathered in Gardner Hall and listened as the president addressed problems and solutions to the nations slow-to-recover economy. In the last 22 months, businesses have created more than 3 million jobs, Obama said. Last year, they created the most jobs
since 2005. Most college students would rather hear about his plans for higher education, but Obamas proposed solutions to unemployment are just as important, said Lindsey Rietkerk, press secretary of Tar Heels for Obama. It is important that in two or three years when we graduate, there are going to be jobs available. During the address, Obama pledged to make higher education more affordable, and proposed that it be mandatory for every student to stay in high school until they graduate or turn 18. Its not enough for us to increase student aid. We cant just keep subsidizing skyrocketing tuition; well run out of money, he said. States also need to do their part by making high education a higher priority in their budgets. Greg Steele, chairman of UNC College Republicans, said Obama has failed in his earlier promises to unify the country. Obama needs to find some points where we have common ground, Steele said.
mct/oLivier DouLiery President Barack Obama gives his State of the Union address before Congress amid rising competition between the Republican candidates.
Members of the UNC College Republicans who held their own viewing party of the State of the Union address will not endorse a Republican candidate until the nominee has been selected. But Steele said he hopes to host a mock debate in the coming months between students favoring different candidates. It would be a good way to get
the issues out there, he said. Everett Lozzi, co-president of Youth for Ron Paul, said he paid close attention to State of the Union address. We need a president that will look to the future and make hard decisions about cuts in spending, he said. Contact the State & National Editor at state@dailytarheel.com.
Reports of gunman put Perdue criticized for lack of Wake Tech on lockdown detail in sales tax plan
By Vinayak Balasubramanian
Staff Writer
Wake Technical Community College went into lockdown Tuesday after authorities received a report of an armed person near campus. While no weapons were recovered, one person was arrested in connection with a domestic dispute. Franklin Rawls, 24, of Garner, was charged with a misdemeanor account of threatening Latasha Stroud, also of Garner, said Phyllis Stephens, public information director for the Wake County Sheriff s Office. She said Rawls is currently being held in jail on a $500 secured bond. The main campus of Wake Tech, located in southern Raleigh, was put on lockdown for nearly
two hours. Stephens said the office received a report of a person with a gun shortly after 9 a.m. In a press release, the sheriff s office said the incident prompting the lockdown appeared to be domestic-related and did not involve threats against the college. The victim is believed to be a student at Wake Tech, but it hasnt been confirmed, Stephens said. The decision to lock down the campus was made in consultation with a school resource officer from the sheriff s office, said Laurie Clowers, a spokeswoman for the community college. The lockdown was lifted at 10:45 a.m. after the campus was searched and secured. Students were then allowed to leave campus, Clowers said. Classes resumed at 1 p.m.
Several social media posts expressed students concerns about the incident. I heard theyre escorting students off campus Im scared yall, posted Tiffany Phillips on a Facebook thread. Text messages, emails and voicemail were sent to students, warning them to remain in their classrooms and lock the doors. But some students claim they werent contacted. Four hours into the incident ... and I have yet to receive an email, SMS text from the school; all information has come through Twitter or the radio, Ricardo Cobos wrote on his Facebook. Clowers said Wake Tech will reassess its emergency alert system for improvements, but said the situation was handled well. College administration is very pleased by how the situation was handled, and by the work of law enforcement, she said.

Gov. Bev Perdues proposed sales tax increase is facing criticism from Republicans who say the governor has not outlined enough of the details. Perdue has proposed raising the states sales tax three-quarters of a cent which she claims could give relief to schools and universities struggling in the aftermath of education spending cuts. It may not be the popular thing to do politically, but it is the right thing to do for our children, and the future of our economy, Perdue said in a speech in Charlotte last week. Perdue, who is preparing for a re-election campaign, has called the proposed increase temporary, but has not yet defined what temporary means. Jon Romano, Perdues spokesman, said in an email that he was concerned about the current level of funding to N.C. K-12 grade schools, community colleges and Contact the State & National public universities. Editor at state@dailytarheel.com. He said the revenues generated
from the tax increase could help schools and universities. Unless we act, the problem will get even worse next year, Romano said. But Perdues proposal has been met by stringent opposition from state Republicans and policy makers. Terry Stoops, director of education studies at the conservative John Locke Foundation, said the think tank disagrees with raising the sales tax and is worried about the lack of a specific time-table. Thats the most disturbing part about this, there is no sunset for these taxes, he said. He said this is a political move, and there is no direct correlation between education spending and student outcomes. It is unclear how much of the money generated will go to higher education, community colleges or K-12 public schools, Stoops said. These entities think they will be receiving a windfall (but) the devil is in the details. Rep. Paul Stam, R-Wake, said a tax increase would not be a smart move in the midst of a recession.

There is not a chance in the world it will get passed, he said. She is using this proposal as an opportunity to fantasize about more state spending. There is nothing temporary about it and she will perennially demand higher taxes. But Rep. Deborah Ross, D-Wake, said protecting public education is important in the struggling economy. Ross said the increase could temporarily solve the states financial woes. Its a shell game: the legislature is cutting money from the local school systems, universities and community schools and not taking responsibility.

UNC encourages safer lab practices

Staff Writer
By Devyn McDonald
Posters encouraging the use of personal protective equipment will soon be in all laboratories on UNCs campus, said Mary Beth Koza, director of the Department of Environment, Health and Safety. Koza, who presented to the faculty executive committee on Monday about the importance of safety in laboratories, said the poster would focus on personal protective equipment because of recent accidents at university labs across the country. In 2008, a graduate student at the University of California-Los Angeles died from injuries sustained in a chemical lab fire. UCLA reported that the womans burns were so severe because she wasnt wearing a lab coat. The university was fined $31,875. In 2010, a Texas Tech University graduate student lost three fingers, burned his hands and face and injured an eye. The U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board investigated the incident and attributed the accident to a lack of safety management accountability. Incidents like these demon-

strate the need for UNC to put preventative measures in place and learn from each incident that does occur, said Catherine Brennan, chemical hygiene officer for the Department of Environment, Health and Safety. Anytime an incident like that happens it reinvigorates our efforts, she said. The department has a laboratory and chemical safety committee that deals with issues of health and safety in the laboratory environment. The committee meets quarterly and discusses all workrelated incidents in labs. The department also conducts an annual safety inspection of all labs on campus. It conducts these inspections during lab classes and focuses on personal safety, Brennan said. The importance of (personal protective equipment) is often overlooked. But the more we talk about safety and emphasize the need for (personal protective equipment), the safer well all be, Koza said. Both Koza and Brennan stressed that non-compliance with safety protocols isnt a huge problem, but rather its often about forgetfulness. People are usually good about wearing gloves but safety glasses are often overlooked, Brennan said. She said UNC has a very good safety record in labs. We have never had a severe accident, she said. But we do see minor accidents like eye splashes that occurred because students werent wearing eye protection. Professor Matthew Redinbo, chairman of the chemistry department, agreed. Our labs are impressively safe given the number of students who matriculate through the teaching labs, and the quantity and quality of work conducted in our research labs, he said.

This arbitrary enforcement of ordinances based on the town managers whim is in direct conflict with what Occupy is about, she said. While Rowan said the groups latest endeavor Nomadic Occupy doesnt plan to camp in there again, the group does meet in the plaza three times a week. Though the Peace and Justice Plaza is no longer filled with occupiers, homeless people have now set up camp in the plaza. I have a problem with Occupy giving homeless people a false sense of security, Rich said. They were feeding them, letting them sleep in their tents, and giving them friendship, and now the homeless people are staying.

Four campus groups to receive $15,000

The Campus Y will award the funds for social innovation.
By Colleen Ni
Staff Writer
Members of four campus groups are looking forward to receiving $15,000, free building space and faculty advising for their own social innovation. The Campus Y announced the four winners of its first Social Innovation Incubator program at the TEDxUNC conference Saturday. Originally, the plan was to pick three groups to occupy the third
floor of the Campus Y building, but the selection committee could not decide on which group to turn down, said Richard Harrill, director of Campus Y. The Campus Y is in the process of raising $15,000 for each group to use, and $10,000 for renovations to the space, Harrill said. The Campus Y then submitted a proposal to the Office of the Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost to use the space after the previous organization moved for the Social Innovation Incubator. One group, HOPE Gardens, has already started moving into the incubator space, he said. HOPE Gardens focuses on developing relationships between the University and the commu-
nity, including high school volunteers, gardeners, the homeless and low-income families. Co-chairwoman Meg VanDeusen said the group will use the space as headquarters, and members hope to use the resources to develop a sustainable program that will deliver food to low-income families in the area. Another winner, Carolina Music Outreach, connects volunteers and students from lowincome families for free music lessons to students. The program enlists 40 music students, but has twice the number of applications, and students have to bring their own instruments, copresident Katie Weinel said. Weinel said the group will
use the money to create a Music Empowerment Program, which will lend instruments to its participants. Being a part of Campus Y gives credibility and will let more people know about it, co-president Maggie Peng said. Both groups are planning to use the new advising resources to receive non-profit organization status, members said. Members of winning group KM Water Solutions plan to use the money to distribute inexpensive microbial water quality testing devices to countries like Bangladesh and Tanzania. The devices were developed by two UNC professors, said Alice Wang, a doctoral student who

We have gotten a lot of interest from different international organizations, academia and NGOs, and we need to get our product out there to people who need it, Wang said. The fourth winner, SEA Brand, is an apparel company that identifies clothing colors with causes and donates 25 percent of its profits to charity. David Baron, co-founder of the group, said he created SEA to study ethical production business. We want to make the connection to the cause much less obvious and obnoxious, he said.

Romney, Gingrich take dierent tracks in Fla.

TAMPA, Fla. (MCT) Mitt Romney ramped up his Florida offensive on Tuesday, releasing his tax returns and offering an alternative State of the Union address, as his rival Newt Gingrich told voters that Romney is too liberal for the Republican Party. Romney, trying to reinvigorate his presidential campaign after Gingrich crushed him Saturday in South Carolina, had two goals: End the furor over his taxes and convince voters that hes bestequipped to challenge President Barack Obama. But Gingrich, the former speaker of the House of Representatives whos leading courtesy of tony perucci statewide polls a week before Donald, a play about a former U.S. Defense Secretary, opens Thursday at Manbites Dog Theatre in Durham. the Jan. 31 GOP primary, fought back in his trademark bombastic style. He vowed that if Obama loses, by the time the president gets back home to Chicago Gingrich will have dismantled about 40 percent of his administration. He slammed Romney for hiring people who had worked for former Gov.

porters that Obamas State of the Union address Tuesday night would be full of partisan planks for his re-election campaign. Romneys remarks had the ring of a nomination acceptance speech. President Obama has amassed an actual record of debt, decline and disappointment, Romney charged. This presidents agenda made these troubled times last longer. He and his allies made it harder for the economy to recover. Later, standing in front of a foreclosed home in Lehigh Acres, Floridas foreclosure capital, Romney promised that hed scale back government regulations to improve the housing market. Romney described the 2012 bank-regulation law, known as the Dodd-Frank Act, as a massive pile of regulations that made it tougher for banks to refinance
loans and essentially encouraged foreclosures. The banks arent bad people, Romney said. Theyre just overwhelmed right now. The former Massachusetts governor also pointed to the human toll of the housing crisis, using the nightmare foreclosure experience of Chris Davis, a 33-yearold YMCA worker, husband of a schoolteacher and father of a 5-year-old boy. Daviss bank tried to foreclose, then granted him a new mortgage, then tried to foreclose again. This is the kind of thing thats happening all over Florida, Romney said. One-quarter of the homes in foreclosure in America are in Florida. One spectator, Terri Mann, said she wasnt sure whom shed vote for. She likes former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum because hes consistent.

Japanese ocials take blame for tsunami deaths

SEOUL, South Korea (MCT) The deaths of 74 elementary school students and 10 teachers in a small Japanese coastal town were among the nations most poignant losses in last years March 11 earthquake and tsunami. Since then, parents of the dead children at the Okawa primary school have found little closure; many have demanded to know why school officials did not do more to protect students, especially in a nation where strict school disaster drills are commonplace. On Sunday, after more than 10 months of silence, board of education officials publicly admitted responsibility for the deaths, which came after the earthquake struck on that March afternoon, and was followed by a powerful tsunami less than a half-hour later. At a meeting attended by more than 80 parents, school officials acknowledged problems with the schools evacuation measures and apologized over the lack of guidance given to their children during the chaotic moments as the disaster unfolded. For months, school principal Kashiba Teruyuki has refused to speak publicly about the deaths. But at the meeting, in which board members presented results of a study into actions by teachers and other officials, Teruyuki took the blame for the deaths that had

Town has mishandled aftermath of Yates raid
TO THE EDITOR: I am writing to express my growing frustration with how the Town of Chapel Hill has handled the aftermath of its raid of the Yates Motor Company building and its occupants on Nov. 13. I find the original police overreaction disturbing enough, but the subsequent obfuscation of the events have been truly shocking. The majority of the council (with notable exceptions like Laurin Easthom, Lee Storrow and Jim Ward), Mayor Mark Kleinschmidt, Town Manager Roger Stancil, and Police Chief Chris Blue have continually shrugged off any responsibility for using deadly force to remove unarmed peaceful protesters, whose only charge has been misdemeanor breaking and entering. Since then, Mr. Stancil has issued a report on this incident, which is based almost entirely on a report from Blue the very person whose actions are being reviewed. Much of the report has already been shown to be incomplete, factually inaccurate and devoid of key information, which was later revealed to be known by those preparing the report. This is an unacceptable resolution to an issue which has huge implications for those involved, and for all citizens of Chapel Hill. I find Mr. Stancils mandate to town employees not to speak publicly about the Yates incident and the closed council meeting on Jan. 23 an affront to the supposed openness and transparency that the town continues to proselytize. Mr. Stancils memo to the mayor and council regarding his assurance that he will personally see to it that town staff enforce the ordinances and administrative policies and procedures related to the use of public space is an egregious overstepping of his duties as town manager. Should one unelected man have the power to selectively enforce rules, that for over two months were ignored during Occupy Chapel Hills encampment? Gabriel Pelli Chapel Hill resident The Perdue record is clear budgets which protect the classroom, consolidating state government, keeping North Carolinas triple-A bond rating, and luring multi-national business to the state with $19.4 billion in investments and 87,000 jobs created. Meanwhile, Republicans in Raleigh have handed out pink slips to North Carolinas teachers and have yet to address the unemployment problem in our state. In 2008, Mr. McCrory said the difference is leadership. I agree, and thats why we need Beverly Perdue. Matt Hughes Chairman Orange County Democratic Party
recent story in the news, displayed on the UNC website, reported the large number of Carolina undergraduates who serve as Teach For America teachers. This reflects, in part, the high level of commitment that UNC graduates typically have to public service. These graduates commit themselves, for two years, to work in very challenging circumstances. Although foundations have invested heavily in Teach For America and the media frequently spotlights the organization, it supplies a very small proportion of the teachers North Carolina needs each year. Last year, for instance, TFA teachers represented less than 1 percent of all the teachers in the state. Although their numbers are relatively small, TFA teachers sign on to work in some of the lowest-wealth schools in the state that struggle to find qualified teachers and welcome these energetic young graduates. The overwhelming majority of new teachers in North Carolina schools, however, come from teacher education programs at in-state universities or from out-of-state teacher preparation institutions. Encouragingly, recent research from the Carolina Institute for Public Policy shows that the students of UNC systemprepared teachers outperform students taught by teachers prepared outside the state. Without diminishing the contributions of UNC undergraduates who become TFA teachers, we should also acknowledge the students undergraduates and masters degree students who are studying to become teachers, not as a two-year public service commitment but, for most, as a career. The School of Education graduated 108 students from its undergraduate teacher preparation programs and another 52 from its Master of Arts in Teaching program last year. No less committed to improving the learning of all students than TFA teachers, most will make education a career. Another noteworthy indicator of teacher quality comes from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, which administers the rigorous National Board Certification process. UNC ranks ninth in the nation in the number of its alumni who in 2011 achieved the prestigious recognition of National Board Certification. Sadly, we are at a moment when teachers are subject to a level of unprecedented criticism. Many factors have contributed to this, including our relatively poor showing on international assessments such as the Programme for International Student Assessment, frustration at our struggle to close the gap in opportunity and academic success between students of color and white and Asian students, media preoccupation with sensational examples of school and system failures and a pervasive anti-government ideology. Teachers are easy targets. They hold relatively little political and economic power. Currently, an effort is under way nationally to reduce further the modest power that they have had. Despite this steady stream of negativity directed toward the profession, UNC undergraduates continue to pursue teaching careers. As a University, we should take pride in all our graduates who take on the too-often thankless but vital task of preparing the next generation of citizens.

Prestige from an early primary isnt worth the potential costs.
hen a three-judge Superior Court panel unanimously decided Friday to deny a group of liberal-leaning challengers request to move North Carolinas primary back two months, from May to July, it seemingly placed more importance on potential political prestige than on the pursuit of certain justice. The group claims the states new district lines, which were created by the first Republican-led General Assembly in more than 100 years, are unfair to minority voters. The group requested the primary be delayed to give more time to challenges to the redistricting, as it doesnt want an election held with potentially unfair districts. According to the Charlotte Observer, the judges did not immediately decide whether to throw out all or just part of the groups request, and there is still a chance for an appeal to the N.C. Supreme Court. The challengers should absolutely appeal, and hopefully, they will get their delay. The state shouldnt hold elections with districts that might
disenfranchise some voters. The decision in this case should have been easy because there is little to lose and much to gain. A delay would improve the chances of lawsuits over the new districts ending before the primary, while sticking with the status quo seems to bow to the idea that an earlier primary means more political prestige. Some years, when primaries are more competitive, the draw of potentially deciding the next presidential nominee could be powerful. But this year the race is already down to two clear front-runners, and North Carolinas current May 8 date would put it at the back end anyway. This year, N.C. would be forfeiting a dubious opportunity for prestige in order to pursue a very real possibility of increasing fairness. In fact, by not granting the delay, the justices effectively nullified the other lawsuits, as they are unlikely to end by the beginning of May but might have ended by the July 10 date the judges denied. And despite pre-clearance from the Department of Justice for the redistricting, there is still ample room for both erroneous and purposeful disenfranchisement. North Carolina is among a handful of states that
must submit their redistricting plans to the Justice Department when they are created every 10 years because of our history of racial barriers to voting. However, the Justice Department is only required to examine 40 of North Carolinas 100 countys in the scope of a section in the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which requires that minorities voting rights not be worsened. Furthermore, most of those 40 counties are rural, and major population centers like Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham, Asheville and Wilmington arent covered. Greensboro and Fayetteville are, but that is little consolation. So federal approval is clearly not a complete statement on the fairness of redistricting, especially concerning minorities, many of whom live in the large population centers. And in approving the lines, the Justice Department also noted a software glitch that left thousands of voters unassigned to districts. This is also grounds for a second look. So if the best reason to deny the delay is the pursuit of prestige, thats simply not good enough. Voters deserve to know for sure that their districts for at least the next ten years are fair for them.
NC needs to keep its promise of education

TO THE EDITOR: Recently proposed/approved tuition hikes unfairly target students coming from North Carolinas middle class families. Students that make just enough money to qualify for little need-based aid and already struggle to find ways to pay current tuition will be the ones finding UNC less attractive. This is unfortunate because it goes against the commitment our states founders made to the people of North Carolina. My family is made of generations of North Carolinians, including foresters, farmers, small business owners and servicemen. My parents have combined for over 60 years teaching in N.C. public schools. These hardworking, middle-class people of North Carolina have spent their whole lives proud of the commitment their state made to public higher education. They worked and paid taxes for years with the understanding that if they committed to North Carolina, North Carolina would commit to them by providing an affordable and excellent education to their brightest children. The low-cost, quality education UNC has offered for centuries is the envy of every state across the country. Our goal should not be reaching higher in the U.S. News Rankings, or keeping up with likes of the University of Virginia, the University of Michigan, or the University of California at Berkeley. Instead, politicians and state leaders should stick to the age-old idea of asking themselves how they can best fulfill the promise North Carolina has made and kept to millions of its own citizens. After all, it is that commitment to the people of North Carolina over the past 218 years that has made UNC the great University it is today. Sam Smith Sophomore Business Administration
Sex Ed from the bottom up

een pregnancy may not be the first issue that comes to mind when most UNC students are asked about sexual health issues. For starters, the majority of college students dont qualify as teenagers anymore. And those 18- and 19-yearold students who do qualify are less likely to become pregnant than their peers across the state. But lack of direct exposure to this issue is no excuse for ignorance about it, since its effects reach far beyond teen mothers and their children. In its newly released 2012 action plan, the Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Campaign of North Carolina set an ambitious but necessary goal to reduce the states pregnancy rate by 30 percent between now and 2020. The two decades between 1991 and 2011 saw a 53 percent decline in teen pregnancy in North Carolina, suggesting that the organizations goal is feasible. But it wont happen without improving schools sex education programs, which will require support and coordination on a local level. UNC students should make

it a priority to be informed about the problems with the states current sex education requirements, whose limitations likely contribute to our states high rate of teen moms. As students graduate from UNC and go on to play important roles in the state of North Carolina not the least of which will be parenting we must make it a priority to improve the states sex education program and reduce our states teen pregnancy rate. Though it is frequently coopted by partisan politicians, sex education doesnt have to be a political issue. Some aspects, like education about the pros and cons of abortion, will almost always elicit strong reactions from both the left and the right. But some problems are just too basic to break down on political lines. The most obvious of these is the fact that the state only requires sex education in the seventh, eighth and ninth grades. Only 7.5 percent of children under the age of 13 in North Carolina have had sex, according to the report, but 68 percent of high school seniors have. By this time, the chances of them remembering the details of their seventh grade health curriculum are slim. That leaves it up to local governments and school districts
to make sex education more comprehensive. Education should begin in fifth grade, and more specific, possibly peer-led sex education programs should be designed for high school. The states minimal requirements have made sex education into a sort of grassroots issue in North Carolina. The more demand there is at a local level, the more pressure school boards will feel to bring their schools sex education programs up to the level they should be, especially in high school. The needs of 17- and 18-yearolds are obviously different from those of their middle school counterparts. A more realistic approach is needed to ensure that sexual health remains a relevant part of their lives, not just a set of facts their gym teacher barked at them when they were 13 years old. What the current state policy misses is the idea that sexual health is a dynamic condition. Like any other subject in school, students understand a subject differently when it becomes directly relevant to their lives. If our state has failed to provide its teenagers with the needed resources, local governments must pick up where the state left off. If our formal education doesnt end after the ninth grade, our sex one shouldnt either.
Perdue has exuded leadership while in office

TO THE EDITOR: While Pat McCrory has spent the last five years going around our great state campaigning to be governor, it is clear that there has only been one person actually governing North Carolina Beverly Perdue. Coming into office during one the nations worst economic times, Gov. Perdue has steered the ship of the state by increasing government transparency, reforming state government, protecting education and facilitating job creation.
