Student arrested after false bomb threat

Freshman Daniel
Fischbeck was charged
with a felony Thursday.
By Sarah Brown
State & National Editor

UNC freshman Daniel Fischbeck,

18, was arrested Thursday in connection with a Yik Yak post that set
off a panic among students after it
threatened an explosion in the Pit.
Fischbeck, of Charlotte, was
charged with a felony count of
making a false bomb report at a
public building.
Yik Yak is a location-based social

media application showing the most

recent posts from anonymous users
in the area. Students first noticed the
suspicious post late Wednesday.
Several students shared a screenshot of the post on Facebook and
Twitter, which said, To all my friends,
dont be in the Pit tomorrow at noon.
Things will be getting a big explosive.
The Department of Public Safety
stationed multiple officers near the
Pit throughout the day, and K-9
units also patrolled campus.
An Alert Carolina message was
sent at about 9:30 a.m. Thursday,
saying DPS was investigating a
social media claim but that there
was no immediate threat to campus.
Audrey Wells, a sophomore, said

a friend had already told her about

the threat, but she thinks the alert
should have been sent much earlier.
For people who didnt know, that
was their first time hearing about it,
and that was really scary, she said.
DPS spokesman Randy Young said
alerts arent typically sent out to let
people know that there isnt a threat.
But he said the widespread concern
sparked by the post exacerbated by
similar threats on other college campuses warranted a message.
He said DPS occasionally receives
reports of social media threats.
A shooting late Wednesday at
Florida State Universitys main
library shook students nationwide,
and UNC senior Jenny Drabble said

that event caused her to worry more

about the threat at UNC.
Drabble works at UNC Student
Stores and said her supervisor told her
and other employees Thursday morning that they could go home if they felt
unsafe. She said students avoided the
area around the Pit all morning.
The Pit was like a ghost town, she
said. Nobody would cross into the
Pit. People would walk around it, but
even then there werent many people.
Security was also heightened at
Carroll Hall, where a K-9 officer was
seen near the entrance just after noon.
Wells said two men dressed in suits
who looked like detectives walked
into her 11 a.m. Economics 101 class
in Carroll, and they asked to talk to

instructor Rita Balaban in the hallway.

After about a minute, Wells said
Balaban returned, resuming teaching
like nothing had happened. But Wells
said the men stood posted at the front
exits to the room as students left, and
both were holding a piece of paper
that looked like it had a face on it.
They were scanning the class as
people were filing out, she said.
Despite uncertainty surrounding
the threat, Wells said she didnt consider skipping class because of it.
I didnt honestly think that it was
going to happen, but it was still disconcerting that someone would say
something like that.

FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS

The dean of the College

of Arts and Sciences will

Staff Writer

After serving since 2009 as the

dean of the College of Arts and
Sciences, Karen Gil has decided
its time to step down and give
someone else a chance to lead
UNCs largest academic branch
through its next phase.

time in the
position, Gil, who will step down
in May, worked through challenges including UNCs athleticacademic scandal and the nations
economic troubles.
Since 2009 and the economic
downturn, we have had decreases in
the state budget that have certainly
placed a real challenge on running
the College of Arts and Sciences at
a time when students demands for
classes were going up as resources
were going down, Gil said.
The findings of the Wainstein
report revealed that Gil had no
knowledge of the paper classes or
irregularities within the former
Department of African and AfroAmerican Studies before a 2011
meeting with former department
chairman Julius Nyangoro and
Jonathan Hartlyn, current senior
associate dean for social sciences
and global programs.
Upon learning of the existence of
the classes in 2011, Gil conducted
a review of the department with
Hartlyn and William Andrews,
former senior associate dean for the
fine arts and humanities.

For the first time in three years, the Tar Heels defeated the Duke Blue Devils and will bring the Victory Bell back to Chapel Hill painted a lighter shade of blue.

The Tar Heels sealed a 45-20 victory over Blue Devils

By Grace Raynor
Sports Editor

DURHAM They didnt come to watch

Marquise Williams fumble the ball three times in a
row in one quarters time twice in the red zone.
They didnt come to score four touchdowns
in the first half when they feasibly could have
scored seven with smarter play. And they certainly didnt come to fall victim to Duke for the
third year in a row.
They came for a win. To earn themselves
the right to a bowl game and to reclaim the
Victory Bell thats been missing from Chapel
Hill since 2011.
On Thursday night, the members of the

North Carolina football team got it all, and

with a 45-20 victory, they did it in blowout
fashion in their biggest rivals house.
Now the Tar Heels (6-5, 4-3 ACC) have
knocked the Blue Devils (8-3, 4-3 ACC) out
of the ACC Championship game. Now theyve
proven they can contend with some of the best
talent in the ACC.
Weve finally put together a complete game in
all three phases of the game: offensively, defensively and special teams, Coach Larry Fedora
said. Other than the three turnovers that we had
offensively, it couldnt have been a more solid
game for us.
UNC hopped on the scoring train midway
through the first quarter with a three-yard

pass from Williams to Quinshad Davis. It was

his fifth receiving touchdown of the season,
giving UNC a 7-0 lead after Thomas Moore
punched in the extra point.
Davis is now one touchdown catch away
from tying Hakeem Nicks school record for 21
career receptions for touchdowns.
Inching, inching, inching, Davis said. I
should have tied it tonight, but Im inching.
Exactly 45 seconds after Davis found the
end zone, UNC found a way to double its
lead. Senior safety Tim Scott came up with a
10-yard fumble recovery and jetted into the
end zone, silencing a stunned Wallace Wade

Transgender Day of Remembrance honors 81 killed this year

Students honored victims
of gender-based violence
with a memorial in the Pit.
By Sofia Edelman
Staff Writer

DTH/ANI GARRIGO
The UNC LGBTQ Center honors Transgender Day of Remembrance.

The UNC LGBTQ Center did not

let the issue of gender-prejudiced violence go unnoticed or unaddressed on
the international Transgender Day of
Remembrance on Thursday.
The annual day of remembrance honors Rita Hester, a transgender woman
who was killed in Massachusetts on
Nov. 28, 1998. Her murder has yet to be

solved. The annual day of remembrance

continues to honor the lives of the countless transgender people who have been
murdered across the world.
Terri Phoenix, director of the center,
said the event in the Pit was held to raise
awareness about gender identity- and
gender expression-based violence.
Based on information from the
Transgender Day of Remembrance page,
tdor.org, we made a placard for each of
the names of the individuals who were
murdered due to gender-identity or
gender-expression, and we called their
names and laid a rose on the placard,
Phoenix said.
These cards listed 81 transgender
people who have been murdered since

Nov. 21, 2013 with names and photographs, if available, and the way they
were murdered.
Phoenix hoped the event would raise
awareness about the current gender
binary system and the pain that it causes.
In this case (the gender binary system) led to actual murder, very violent
murders if you read some of the placards. But there is a level of violence that
happens at a lesser degree every day as
we try to make people conform to the
norms of what is expected for males or
for females. Phoenix said.
Senior Christopher Gremillion said
the most eye-opening part of the event

inally, someone realized that making Barbie dolls with completely unobtainable bodies was actually insane, and they
decided to capitalize on that. Designer Nickolay Lamm has
now made a normal Barbie with the measurements of a typical 19-year-old woman. Thank goodness someone actually has a brain
in their head when it comes to not encouraging women to try to have a
waist the size of a toothpick.
The doll, affectionately called Lammily, even comes with stickers of
attributes that normal people have, like acne, stretch marks and tattoos.
Lamm said he wants the doll to show girls that all body types and attributes are beautiful and accepted. #snaps

NOTED. Talk about classy. Police in New

police were called, the woman fled the

Bryant presents 3-pronged plan for the Womens Center

By Sarah Kaylan Butler
Staff Writer

Shamecca Bryant, candidate for director of the

Carolina Womens Center, said she would bring
her experience as executive director of the Orange
County Rape Crisis Center to the UNC community.
She described her plans in an open forum
Thursday, detailing her platform, which focuses on
leadership, pay equality and family advocacy.
The forums, which are being held for each
of the candidates, aim to give the campus community a chance to hear from candidates and
give feedback, according to a campus-wide email
from the Carolina Womens Center.
My focus would be to use my background in
violence prevention, gender-race results, leadership
in cultural diversity to ensure gender equality for
members of the Carolina community, Bryant said.
She hopes to increase the centers network and

reach on campus.
Having more people-power will allow for
the Carolina Womens Center to have a greater
impact on campus, she said.
The directorship involves fundraising for the
center, which Bryant said she would like.
I would work with University advancement
to increase the fundraising, she said. As a
fundraiser, I enjoy asking for peoples money. Its
a very rare quality that people have, but to me, its
a very enjoyable thing.
She said she has confidence in the students
and administrators at UNC.
Theres a very sacred phrase at my alma mater
that goes, Women who are going places start
at Hollins I know firsthand the abilities of a
Carolina student and the expertise of the faculty
and staff, she said. I would definitely say that
that phrase extends to them as well.
Bryant said she has previously hired or promoted

10 UNC graduates.
The audience included members of the search
committee and members of the community. During
a Q&A session at the end of the forum, Bryant
answered questions about gender equality and collaboration with other campus organizations.
I thought that she did a wonderful job, but I
think that the whole pool is strong, said Silvia
Tomaskova, professor of womens and gender
studies. I think they all come from very different
backgrounds. I would say that any one of the candidates would be very good at the job.
Bryant wants UNC women to stand up for
equal treatment.
We want Carolina women not to simply be
observers but active participants in the classroom
and active leaders on campus and in their community, she said.

Aldermen support immigrant children

They passed a resolution
Tuesday supporting their
presence in local schools.
By Lindsey Brunson
Senior Writer

The Carrboro Board of Aldermen

unanimously passed a resolution
Tuesday declaring Carrboro a welcoming community for more than
1,600 immigrant children in North
Carolina who fled from violence in
their home countries.
The resolution reaffirmed childrens
legal right to a public education in the
U.S., regardless of immigration status.
Advocates hope Carrboros decision to
pass the resolution will spark similar
responses in other local governments
across the state.

Other counties have taken a more

negative, non-welcoming tone, and
the state of North Carolina has gotten
a reputation of being non-immigrant
friendly, and this starts to change
that, said George Eppsteiner, staff
attorney for the Southern Coalition
for Social Justice.
The number of unaccompanied
immigrant children fleeing violence
in Central America primarily
Honduras and El Salvador and
coming to the U. S. increased dramatically this summer. North Carolina has
the eighth highest number of child
immigrants in the nation, according
to the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services.
Rowan, Brunswick and Surry
counties have passed resolutions asking for the authority to deny immigrant childrens public school enrollment applications as the children

await deportation hearings. The N.C.

American Civil Liberties Union and
the SCSJ encouraged the Carrboro
Board of Aldermen to draft more
positive legislation, Eppsteiner said.
We hope that Carrboro is setting a
trend now and being a model for other
communities, said Sarah Preston,
policy director for N.C. ACLU.
While the aldermen cant directly
affect the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City
Schools Board of Educations policy,
the resolution will be sent to the education board for consideration.
The Board of Aldermen also voted
to request that U.S. Rep. David Price
encourage legislation in Congress
guaranteeing unaccompanied minors
due process and legal representation.
Board member Sammy Slade
noted that U.S. foreign policy towards
Central American countries has a lot
to do with the violence and political

upheaval that causes children in those

countries to flee their homes.
I just want us to remember that
this doesnt happen out of the blue.
Were very much responsible for the
effects of our policies in other places.
Alderman Jacquelyn Gist said she
tried this summer to garner community support for unaccompanied
minors in the state but was disappointed in the lack of response. Gist
wanted to raise enough money to
enable a group home to accommodate the children, but she said federal standards of care were too high
for any group homes to afford.
Im hoping that the community
maybe will hear again and find ways
to support those who are supporting
the kids, she said, because its so
hard to do here in North Carolina.

Obama rolls out executive plan on immigration

The actions will impact
nearly five million
immigrants nationwide.
By Sharon Nunn
Assistant State & National Editor

On Thursday, President Barack

Obama announced a contentious
series of executive actions to allow
nearly five million immigrants to live
in the U.S. legally.
Obama outlined a plan that will
temporarily allow immigrants who
are currently living in the U.S. illegally and meet certain criteria to
apply for a three-year permit if they
pass a background check and are
willing to pay taxes.
The immigrants that qualify
for this permit would have to have
children who are born in the U.S.
or are citizens. Obamas action also
applies to children who have been in

the country for more than five years,

which is an expansion of the Deferred
Action for Childhood Arrivals, commonly known as DACA.
White House Press Secretary Josh
Earnest said in a statement that
Obamas actions came after what
he called the House Republicans
reluctance to drop their opposition
to immigration reform.
Theyve also refused to indicate
any sort of willingness to bring up
immigration reform legislation,
Earnest said. The president has
decided its time to move forward.
According to Politico, Kentucky
Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell
said the newly Republican Senate
will take forceful action against
Obamas move, but he didnt say
exactly what that action would be.
Were considering a variety of
options, McConnell said. But make
no mistake, when the newly elected
representatives of the people take
their seats, they will act.

Earnest said Obamas actions are

consistent with executive actions take
by both parties presidents in the past.
Christopher Schroeder, a Duke
University law professor, said
Obamas decision was lawful.
Immigration laws give the
executive branch much discretion
to decide enforcement priorities,
which is what the president is doing
here by simply saying there are
some individuals who are here who
are undocumented who we are not
going to prioritize, and were going
to go after the kinds of people we
want to remove, Schroeder said.
The law professor said this kind
of executive action has been used
multiple times before.
Still, Dani Moore, director of the
N.C. Justice Centers Immigrants
Rights Project, said Obamas executive actions dont go far enough and
dont include enough immigrants.
Its an important step forward,
but it falls short of offering relief

to all immigrants in our state who

deserve a path to legalization and
eventual citizenship, Moore said.
In North Carolina, 114,000
undocumented people live with
children who are legally U.S. citizens, according to a report by the
Center for American Progress. If
these immigrants were granted the
three-year permit, the state could
see a $184 million increase in tax
revenues over the next five years.
Emilio Vicente, a UNC senior who
is also an undocumented immigrant,
said the action doesnt do enough
because it covers less than half of the
immigrants in the country.
Im happy for the families who
are positively effected, but theres
still more work to do, he said.
Vicente said some family members
are impacted by Obamas decision.
Im happy itll give them relief
and peace of mind, he said.

Student Body President

Andrew Powell and Jacob
Hinton support creating a
University position devoted
to veterans affairs, but UNCs
administration is not sold.
At the Board of Trustees
meeting Thursday, Hinton,
the president of the Carolina
Veterans Organization, advocated for a full-time, paid position
to serve as a director of military
and veteran affairs on campus.
Every minority group on
campus has their own section
and their own support staff,
where veterans do not, said
Jacob Hinton, a senior and
army veteran.
Hinton presented at the
boards meeting via video, discussing his experience as a veteran and transfer student at UNC.
When I transferred here, I
found myself lost, he said in the
video. There wasnt a lot of connection with other veterans; there
wasnt a lot of connection with
faculty or staff members that were
familiar with veterans either.
Hinton said the advisers he
worked with after transferring
to UNC in 2013 werent familiar
with the restrictions and loopholes of the GI Bill.
Theres a few veterans I
know who have failed out of
Carolina because they dont
have resources, he said.
Resources such as academic
advising or counseling specific to
combat operations.
Hinton praised the efforts
of Assistant Dean of Students
Brian Papajcik to develop programs for veterans and help
them better connect with other
veterans on campus.
Brian Papajcik works
alone, and its only part of his
job to work with veterans, he
said. Currently, all the efforts
for veteran recognition and
awareness fall on either Brian
Papajcik or students.
Retired U.S. Army Lt. Gen.
Jim Campbell also presented at
Thursdays meeting and echoed
Hintons call for improvement.
His recommendations were
spot on, Campbell said.
The need has risen for veterans to be served on campus,
Hinton said, and with it comes
a need for more personnel
specifically devoted to serving
veteran students.
One solution would be a fulltime position, Provost Jim Dean
said. What were focused on is
how to meet those needs, how to
make sure that were giving veterans everything that what we can.
Dean said while the
University is actively looking
at the possibility of a full-time
position for veteran affairs, multiple part-time positions and
specified faculty advisers are
also being considered as potential solutions.
The key thing is to have the
hours and people devoted to it,
not necessarily that its contained
in one person, he said.
Dean said the programs currently in place for veteran students are just the beginning, and
the University is expecting to
announce more programs in the
coming year.
We have made a sincere
effort to understand your world,
Dean said. While Im proud of
what weve done, I think we have
a long way to go.
Powell has been working with
Hinton to draft a rough plan to
get veterans involved on campus,
a plan that includes a full-time,
paid position.
Were strained for resources

Powell said. And this is definitely one of them.
Powell said veteran students
face issues particularly with
financial aid and feeling welcome on campus high priority
issues for Powell.
There are a number of
things that we can really do better, he said.
I think everybodys going to be

MENS SOCCER: NORTH CAROLINA 6, JAMES MADISON 0

Tar Heels play the waiting game

Mens soccer
team scored 5
second-half goals
Thursday night
By Logan Ulrich
Staff Writer

DTH/CLAIRE COLLINS
UNC forward Andy Craven (10) moves past James Madison defender Bjarki Adalsteinsson (29). Craven had seven shots on goal and three goals Thursday.

The No. 16 North Carolina mens soccer

team has trademarked an explosive scoring
offense this season. But it added another skill
to its repertoire Thursday night on Fetzer
Field in the first round of the NCAA tournament against James Madison.
Patience.
Led by veteran coach Tom Martin, JMU
came in with a heavy defensive focus. The
Dukes kept defenders back and clogged
the middle of the field, slowing UNCs fastpaced offense to a crawl.
We anticipated that they may come in
and play a compact defensive game, Coach
Carlos Somoano said. If we needed to take
89 minutes to break it down, we were going
to take 89 minutes.
Forty minutes was all it took. Senior
forward Andy Craven collected a loose
rebound off a shot by sophomore midfielder Omar Holness and put it in the back of
the net to open the scoring in the first half.
Then the wheels fell off for the visitors.
Senior forward Rob Lovejoy added a second goal off of a deflection by Craven. Then
15 seconds after, JMU captain Josh Grant
tackled junior midfielder Alex Olofson hard
and high, earning a red card. Craven scored
his second goal on a fast break, beating the
keeper one-on-one. Then a second JMU
player, Tim Whitebread, committed a foul

Defense spoils Dukes championship hopes

North Carolina scored
21 points off turnovers
against the Blue Devils.
By Aaron Dodson
Senior Writer

DURHAM Blame the defense.

Its been the easy thing to do with
the North Carolina football team this
season one during which opponents have broken offensive record
after offensive record.
But on Thursday night at Wallace
Wade Stadium, under the floodlights and in the blistering cold, not
a bit of blame could be placed on
players lined up across from Dukes
offense the defense ranked last in
the ACC and 122nd out of 125 FBS
schools before the game.
The North Carolina defense gave
up 511.6 yards per game and 51 total
touchdowns, earning it a spot at the
bottom of the conference.
In North Carolinas 45-20 win,
UNCs defense held Duke (8-3, 4-3

ACC) in check.
The Blue Devils managed just
243 total yards of offense through
three quarters before a desperation fourth quarter filled with deep
shots downfield and their 20
points are the fewest an opponent
has scored against the Tar Heels
this season.
We just wanted to prove
everybody wrong, said redshirt
freshman defensive end Dajuan
Drennon. Not too many people
believe in us besides the people
in our building every day. We just
wanted to go out there and prove
everybody wrong.
Typically, teams start off fast on
offense against the Tar Heels (6-5,
4-3 ACC).
Opposing quarterbacks take
advantage of UNCs young starting
cornerbacks, Des Lawrence and
Brian Walker, both sophomores. The
scenario has played out like clockwork multiple times this season.
It starts up front.
UNCs defensive line cant get
pressure on opposing quarterbacks,

who let it fly.

It started up front against Duke.
Yet this time, the defensive line
didnt allow the pressure to mount
on the secondary.
On Dukes first drive, junior
defensive lineman Justin Thomason
got to backup Duke quarterback
Thomas Sirk, forcing a fumble
recovered by redshirt junior linebacker Jeff Schoettmer.
The ensuing drive? UNC touchdown. Tar Heels 7-0.
On Dukes next drive, Blue Devil
starting quarterback Anthony Boone
became the victim.
On a scramble, Boone met the
likes of redshirt freshman defensive
tackle Nazair Jones and Lawrence.
Another fumble, this time scooped
up by senior free safety Tim Scott
and taken 10 yards to the end zone.
They said that Duke had the No.
2 best offensive guard or whatever
(in Laken Tomlinson), but we really
just used that fuel to our fire,
Drennon said. As long as we dominate him, then we feel like we could
dominate the rest of the line. I felt

like we did that.

UNC never looked back from
the 14-point lead sparked by the
defense.
The Blue Devil offense managed
to piece together a 10-play, 75-yard
touchdown drive midway through
the first quarter.
But UNCs defense answered
back, forcing four consecutive punts.
Freshman cornerback M.J. Stewart
then intercepted a pass by Boone,
ending that streak.
At the end of the first half, the
Duke defense got active, forcing UNC
redshirt junior quarterback Marquise
Williams to fumble the ball on three
consecutive drives. Yet the Tar Heel
defense didnt allow the Blue Devils
to score on any of their subsequent
possessions in the first half.
The defense played outstanding tonight, lights out, Williams said.
Turned the ball over, got turnovers,
3-and-outs the whole night they
did what they needed to do. They
told me, Hey man, dont worry about
a turnover Lets play ball.
Duke failed to score the ball for

DTH PICKS OF THE WEEK

The DTH sports staff and one celebrity guest compete to pick the winners
of the biggest ACC and national college football games each week.
Normally, when Brendan Marks decides to
act like himself and go 3-6 in picks the previous week, we make fun of him a lot.
And it usually takes up the first three or
four or even five paragraphs.
This week though, well have to keep it at
three. Haha, Brendan, you suck!
Thats because the Queen herself, sports
editor Grace Raynor went 5-4 last week and
is close to losing her No. 1 spot a spot she
has held every single week of the season.
To make matters even worse, Grace was
covering the North Carolina-Duke football
game when she had to submit her picks, and
were pretty sure the only reason she took

Utah over Arizona is because Aaron is also

covering the game and is there with her.
Raynors secret this season has simply been
picking all of the favorites, so we know she
never checked to see that Arizona is No. 15
and Utah is No. 17.
Rookie mistake.
In the meantime, the sly Patty J. has been
slowly sneaking up cheshire grin in
tow and we think hes ready to pounce.
After a 7-2 week, Patty is now just one
game behind Grace for the title of LeastTerrible Sports Picker.
We all want this title of course, but only
one can have it.

Jonathan Jones is this

weeks guest picker.

Panthers for the Charlotte
Observer and is a former

31 minutes and 56 seconds spanning

the second and third quarters.
Two Blue Devil touchdowns in
the final 20 minutes of the game
could not overcome UNCs strong
early defensive effort.
No one watching the game could
have blamed the Tar Heel defense for
anything Thursday night. Well, except
for one Blue Devil outcome.
With the win, the Tar Heels
denied Duke a chance at playing in
the ACC Championship.
Thats one thing the defense and
Scott, who had five tackles and one
fumble recovery for the Tar Heels, will
take the blame for.
We did a lot this game. We
won. We became bowl eligible. We
stopped them from going to the ACC
Championship. And we got our bell
back. This was a huge game, said
Scott, a member of the defense when
the Tar Heels last held the bell in
2011-12 season.
The defense definitely needed to
show up and we did that.

role of Goliath, and despite
a slow first half, they showed
why they had rarely filled the
role of David.
We always have confidence. That isnt something
thats going to change going
forward, said senior forward
Andy Craven. We put away a
bunch of chances and scored
some goals, and thats what
we try to do every time we
step out on the field.
Craven had three goals in
the game against the Dukes.
With the win, UNC will
advance to the second round
of the College Cup, where instate opponent and the No. 10
national-seed UNC-Charlotte
lies waiting. The 49ers, who
the Tar Heels beat in the 2011
College Cup final, will provide
a physical challenge for UNC,
something senior forward
Rob Lovejoy is looking forward to.
You have to expect (the
physicality). Its the NCAA
tournament, Lovejoy said.
Craven agreed.

against freshman forward

Alan Winn, earning JMU its
second red card.
Facing a 3-0 deficit and
down two players, the Dukes
strategy of playing a low-scoring game came unhinged.
Its tough to play a high
school team down two
men, let alone a team like
Carolina, Martin said.
With the Dukes defense
loose and plenty of space
to work with, UNC eviscerated JMU the rest of the way.
Craven added a third goal to
complete his second hat trick
of the season, Winn scored in
the 79th minute and senior
midfielder Glen Long scored
his first goal of the season with
only a few minutes left to finish the scoring for UNC.
The six goals matched a
season high for UNC. But
they didnt come the same
way they had earlier in the
season. UNC has focused its
offense on being fast-paced
all year, but JMU was too well

coached in the first half for

that to work.
Time after time, the Tar
Heels poked and prodded the
JMU defense, each time being
turned away. A player would
receive a pass and turn around
to find two defenders charging
up to meet him. But the Tar
Heels remained composed and
continued to hammer away.
It was just a matter of
staying the course and staying persistent, Lovejoy said.
Eventually things opened up
for us as we scored more goals.
The teams identity all season has been predicated on getting the quick score, and JMU
managed to take that away for
a half. But instead of collapsing, UNC beat the Dukes at
their own game, showing an
adaptability a patience
that will make them hard to
beat moving forward.
Theyve changed their
shape as the seasons gone
along to maximize the players they have, Martin said. I
think they could do very well.

Theyre out for blood, he

added.
Beyond UNC-C, a bevy
of highly-ranked opponents
including three teams on
UNCs side of the bracket that
they have already played in
2014 could line the path of
what North Carolina hopes to
be a run at its second NCAA
crown in four years.
In the third round, the Tar
Heels could face off against
Clemson, the No. 7 national
seed. UNC barely edged out
the Tigers in October, as a
double-overtime penalty kick
by junior Raby George lifted
the Tar Heels to a 3-2 win.
And if UNC knocks off
Clemson again, California
and UCLA serve as possible
matchups in the quarters.
UNC played both teams in
the Carolina Nike Classic at
the beginning of the season,
earning a win over Cal but
dropping the game against
the Bruins.
With Clemson and Cal,

DTH/CLAIRE COLLINS
UNC midfielder Omar Holness (14) takes control of the ball. Holness had one assist on Thursday.

UNC hopes the story reads

the same way; with UCLA,
the hope is that the story may
be rewritten.
But before they can read
that far ahead, the Tar Heels
primary focus is on the next

chapter, something Coach

Carlos Somoano stressed
after the win against James
Madison.
I cant possibly think
about Clemson or Cal; weve

Stadium in the process.

The groundwork had been
laid, the momentum was
rolling.
They prepared themselves. They did the little
things that we asked them
to do all week so they would
be ready to go, Fedora said.
And they wanted it.
Duke responded with its
first touchdown of the night
with 4:22 remaining in the
first quarter after Anthony
Boone connected with Issac
Blakeney from 10 yards out.
But after that, Mack Hollins
scored on a one-yard pass
from Williams in the quarters final two minutes. By
halftime, up 28-7, UNC had
built a lead it would never
relinquish.
The second half continued
to follow script.
T.J. Logan who rushed
for a season-high 116 yards
and Williams both scored
touchdowns, while Moore
booted in a 30-yard field
goal to give the Tar Heels
enough cushion in the final
30 minutes when Duke
responded with two touchdowns of its own.
Before the fourth quarter
even started, the fans trickled out, and UNC players
and coaches alike danced on
the Tar Heel sideline, their
chrome helmets bobbing
with every movement as if
it were over.
Because it was.
They did it for the seniors,
who were the first ones to
have the bell spray-painted
Carolina Blue and the loudest ones celebrating as voices
echoed off UNCs locker
room walls.
The bell rang, and the Tar
Heels sang.
Were thinking about letting our seniors go out having fun and going out with a
bang, Williams said.
(Were) getting the bell
back for those guys and letting them go out and tell their
kids, Hey man, I did that
back in the day.

was reading about the victims

who could not be identified.
At least with the people
that you had their names,
there was somebody that
could name them, somebody
who was family or something
like that, Gremillion said.
They know what happened to their family member,
whereas the unknown people,
they might think that this person is coming back some day. I
think thats the hardest part.
Phoenix said some countries have higher degrees of
reporting structures, which
more accurately report the
number of gender-based
murders that take place.
(The placards) represent
just a small fraction of the
individuals who were probably
murdered in the past year.
Phoenix said, Because of the
reporting structures, theres
probably many, many more
people who have experienced
violence and/or been murdered
because of their gender-identity or gender-expressions. Even
though these are 81 names, its
still just a small percentage of
what probably has happened.
Graduate student Kai
Ewing said the entire event
was moving.
Letting people read, having people come through
and see the stories of the
people who have died due
to gender-based violence is
really important so people
can see there are 16-year-olds
who have been stabbed and
thrown in a river, Ewing
said.Thats not okay.

The Deans charge was to

determine those courses in
which irregularities existed;
identify possible patterns and
explanations for those courses;
recommend follow-up actions
and measures; and provide initial recommendations regarding policies and procedures
to prevent such irregularities
from occurring in the future,
the Wainstein report stated.
As a result of the findings of her review, Gil called
for the resignation of Julius
Nyangoro, former chairman
of the AFAM department. Gil
said she has no regrets about
her handling of the athleticacademic scandal.
When I became aware of
the problems in 2011, myself
and my team got to work very
hard on trying to understand
what happened and put in
place new policies and procedures to prevent anything
like this from ever happening
again, she said. I think we
are stronger now.
Gil said she is proud of her
accomplishments in starting
new programs, such as an
undergraduate biomedical
engineering degree and the

entrepreneurship minor. She

said she has stressed course
redesign and has confidence in
the future of the Department
of African, African American
and Diaspora Studies.
I believe that AAAD
courses and the major has been
redesigned and is truly a strong
department, she said. The
faculty is doing great scholarship, and I hope that students
will realize the exciting new
course offerings they have and
become more engaged.
Chancellor Carol Folt
and Provost Jim Dean will
announce plans to find Gils
replacement at later date.
Gil said she will miss working with the staff and students
in South Building but that she is
excited to be returning to UNCs
psychology department.
This really is a job that I
love, being the dean of the
College of Arts and Sciences.
It really just feels like the
right time for me to return
home to psychology.
Psychology department
chairman Donald Lysle said
he looks forward to Gils
return to the department.
She is an outstanding
teacher at both the undergraduate and graduate levels and
will make contributions to our

mission to provide innovative

teaching, he said in an email.
She is also a highly regarded
researcher in the field of health
psychology, and her research
will greatly enhance our clinical psychology program.
Beverly Taylor, chairwoman
of the Department of English
and Comparative Literature,

said Gil was a good dean and

hopes that her successor follows in her footsteps.
It would be smart of
them to follow in Dean Gils
playbook in keeping as much
financial support for students
and professors, she said.

Computer
science
cuts a
disservice

NEXT

he computer science
department offers
students some of the
most important skills they
will need in the modern job
market, regardless of whether
they decide pursue a degree
in the field.
Yet the department is
being choked by the College
of Arts and Sciences for funding. Hows that for a hook?
This semester, introductory computer science
courses were stuffed with
students. Fall 2014 has seen
673 enrollments across four
introductory courses and
3,067 total seats in computer
science courses, the highest
total in at least five semesters. Maintaining these seats
required 25 graduate teaching
assistants and 30 undergraduate teaching assistants.
Next semester, the department is looking forward to
only 1,910 seats (as of Nov. 8),
the lowest tally in five semesters. It will employ 15 graduate
teaching assistants and no
undergraduates.
Excluding classes of five
seats or fewer, computer science had the highest average
class size of any natural science
except biology in fall 2014,
with an average of 67 students
per class. This reflects both
the demand for computer science courses and the degree
to which the departments
resources are being cut.
In spring 2015, there will
be only 300 seats across all
introductory computer science
courses approximately a
third of all seats available for
Biology 101 and the waitlists
for all of the courses (collectively, 60 students) are also
full. Additionally, 181 students
are tracking introductory computer science courses on UNC
Class Checker.
The computer science
department put its remaining
resources toward allowing current seniors to graduate, and
most upper-level classes are
also closed.
North Carolina has offices
for Microsoft, Google, IBM,
Infusion, Cisco, EMC, Intel,
SAS, Red Hat, Oracle and a
trove of others. Coding is a
skill essential to working at
any of these places.
I dont think that the
College of Arts and Sciences
is part of some strange conspiracy to not let freshmen or
sophomores learn to code I
just think that they spent a
little too much time twiddling
their thumbs and not enough
time looking at numbers.
Coding is an essential skill
in many professions including journalism.
In 2013, the former head of
digital for Time wrote a popular op-ed in The Wall Street
Journal about why he wouldnt
hire college graduates who had
no knowledge of coding.
Now, I dont imagine UNC
as a trade school like Pat
McCrory might, but jobs are
important, and supplementing ones education with even
a modicum of coding knowledge can go a long way in the
real world.
The College of Arts and
Sciences is doing a disservice
to the 241 students who want
to take their first computer
science course but cannot, as
well as to all those who want
to advance their knowledge
not to mention current
computer science majors.

EDITORIAL

A trail of breadcrumbs
The supplemental
documents deserve
further scrutiny.

horough analysis of
the supplemental
documents released
with the Wainstein report
shows departments other
than the Department
of African and AfroAmerican Studies deserve
additional scrutiny.
The official title of
Kenneth Wainsteins
report Investigation
of Irregular Classes in the
Department of African and
Afro-American Studies at
the University of North
Carolina hints that the
report was intentionally
limited in scope.
As The Daily Tar Heel
reported earlier this
month, Jan Boxill offered
more than 160 enrollments in independent
studies within the philosophy department over
the course of eight years
an impossible accomplishment by her own colleagues assessment.
In another chain of
emails included in the supplemental documents, Beth
Bridger and Jaimie Lee,
two academic counselors
for the football team, communicated about a student
who was worried about his
academic performance.
I dont know what
the hell is up with him,

Bridger said in one of the

emails. I told him if he
wants a paper to email
(UNC professor Deborah)
Stroman for an (exercise
and sport science) one.
For months, Wainstein
and his team of highly
qualified investigators
had the access to further
investigate what this
email meant.
Left to their own devices, readers can only guess
what this email hints at.
Deborah Stroman
is a professor in the
Department of Exercise
and Sport Science. As
a result of an interview
with Stroman, the report
stated she enjoys doing
independent studies with
students, but the students
she works with realize that
they have to meet with her
and do work.
The string of emails
between the football
academic counselors suggests otherwise. Instead of
students working closely
with Stroman to gain a
better understanding of
exercise and sport science,
the academic counselors
suggest students could go
to Stroman for a paper
class the classes at the
center of the academic
scandal that required
no attendance, had little
faculty oversight and had
only a single assignment.
Clearly, other departments deserve further

scrutiny. The footnote

Wainstein included that
said he and his team
also sought to identify
the grading patterns in a
series of other non-AFAM
classes that were widely
known to be less rigorous
was hardly reassuring.
In the report, Wainstein
said his team ultimately
concluded that though
such courses may have
been less rigorous, it is
worth noting that, unlike
the paper classes, these
classes all exhibited the
elements of regular college instruction, including
class attendance and faculty involvement.
The emails included in
the report seem to directly
contradict that conclusion.
For weeks, student
groups like the Black
Student Movement and
The Real Silent Sam
Coalition have admonished the Wainstein report
for scapegoating AfricanAmerican studies as the
sole culprit of the scandal.
If the emails included as
part of the supplemental
documents to the official
report are to be believed,
then the Black Student
Movement and The Real
Silent Sam Coalition are
completely right.
We should therefore cast
suspicion upon any narrative suggesting academic
irregularities were confined
to the AFAM department.

EDITORIAL

Go to hell, Duke
Duke Energy must
take swift steps to
clean up pollution.

here are many

ways to deal with
an environmental
disaster. One is to claim
that things are under control, despite continuing pollution. Another is to claim
that what has been spilled
is not dangerous and that
only fearmongerers want
people to believe otherwise.
Finally, an organization can
wield direct influence over
the government tasked with
regulating it.
Duke Energy has found
all three to be quite helpful in the wake of its
February coal ash spill in
the Dan River near Eden.
Five days after the
spill, the Environmental
Protection Agency noted
that Duke had not stopped
coal ash from contaminating the river.
In a fact report, the
energy company cherrypicked statistics about coal
ashs toxicity, promulgating the idea that coal ash
isnt really dangerous.

They glossed over the

70 cases between 1948 and
2008 in which the EPA
found coal ash to be poisonous in water, some of which
were drinking sources.
A lenient state enforcement framework included
a governor who held investments in Duke Energy at
the time of the spill.
Dukes plan to dispose
of the remaining coal ash
has two major flaws: its
timeline and its method.
Of the 32 coal ash basins
Duke operates, the EPA has
given 10 of them either a
significant or high hazard
potential rating. High-risk
coal ash basins must be
closed by the end of 2019.
Even more ridiculous is
the amount of time Duke
has been given to clean up
low-risk impoundments.
Its deadline is 2029. The
following projects were
completed in less than the
15 years allotted to clean
Dukes coal ash ponds: the
Golden Gate Bridge, the
Manhattan Project and
the Apollo Program.
According to the
Charlotte Observer, Duke
has already found some

solutions. Some of the ash

will be used to reclaim
clay mines or become an
ingredient in cement.
Some of the low-risk areas
might not be cleaned up
at all, but instead merely
drained and capped.
The solution that needs
to be taken off the table
is burying the ash near
residences. According to
the Fayetteville Observer,
a plan to bury coal ash
in clay pits was opposed
strongly by residents of
Lee County. Some residents live as close as 800
yards from the clay pits.
The N.C. Department of
Environment and Natural
Resources has the authority to approve to this plan.
It shouldnt do so until it
establishes a standardized
buffer that prevents ash

TO THE EDITOR:
In Report says teacher
education lacks rigor (Nov.
20), one of your sources
is quoted suggesting that
there are no admissions nor
graduation requirements
for education majors. This
is absurd.
At Carolina, undergraduate students need a
minimum 2.5 grade point
average for admission
into education programs.
For advanced licensure
programs, such as our
masters for experienced
teachers program, a minimum 3.0 GPA is required
for admission.
Those standards are rising. Under newly adopted
national standards for
accreditation of education
programs, undergraduate
students will need a minimum 3.0 GPA to be admitted to an education program.
Teaching is tough work.
It demands strong students
who meet high standards.
For anyone to suggest otherwise betrays an
ignorance of the realities
of the profession and of
the preparation would-be
teachers achieve.

Teach for America

deserves more credit
TO THE EDITOR:
Teach for America is not
an uncontroversial program.
With research pointing in
opposite directions, the
verdict on TFA is certainly
not out. However, the article
published in this newspaper
cited the Heilig and Jez
literature review that found
that Teach for America
employees outperformed
noncredentialed teachers.
If TFA teachers really are
outperforming public teachers, its hard to pass it off as a
flawed system as the opinion article attempted to do.
Moreover, Teach for
America is valuable in
another important way.
The United States has
lagged behind other developed nations in education
for some time. In the United
States, teachers are not
viewed with the high regard
that is given to doctors, lawyers and the like. But this
is not the case in countries
who have had greater success in education.
Teach for America has
finally found a way to draw
the best and the brightest
to education, and while its
employees may not stay at
the same school for extended periods of time, the website holds that 67 percent of
alumni continue to do work
in education post-program.
Drawing Americas best
minds to one of our greatest problems can only pay
dividends for the country as
a whole.
