ATHLETIC-ACADEMIC SCANDAL

Willingham and UNC head to mediation

The former tutor says she
wants her position at the
University back.
By Bradley Saacks
University Editor

Former athletic learning specialist Mary Willingham has always said

she filed her lawsuit against UNC
for one reason to get her job back.
I want to work at Carolina again

I miss it, I miss Carolina, I miss

working with students, she said.
Thats what I asked for (in the suit),
and thats what Im sticking to.
On Monday, Willingham said
her seven-month-old case will go to
mediation.
In her complaint, Willingham,
who resigned in May, said UNC
violated Willinghams First
Amendment rights and created a
hostile working environment for
her something that directly goes
against the protections granted to

her under the state Whistleblower

Protection Act.
The complaint said the University
created a hostile working environment for Willingham by demoting
her, relocating her office and attacking her character.
We believe the facts will demonstrate that Ms. Willingham was
treated fairly and appropriately while
she was employed at Carolina, said
Joel Curran, the vice chancellor for
communications and public affairs,
in a statement in July.

On Monday, Curran said the

University could not offer an updated
comment on pending litigation.
Willinghams research on studentathletes with learning disabilities
became national news in January
2014 after an interview with CNN.
In her research, she concluded that
60 percent of the 183 athletes in
her study could only read between a
fourth- and eighth-grade level.
Following Willinghams interview with CNN, the complaint said
Provost Jim Dean made comments

about Willinghams character at a

February faculty meeting.
Willinghams research came under
fire as an independent review board
brought in by the University concluded that Willinghams research methods were faulty and that a majority
of the student-athletes in her study
could read at a college level.
Her complaint states that, apart
from being reinstated at her previous position, Willingham also

HOUSE SPEAKER TO-BE

HAS CONTENTIOUS PAST
Tim Moore tried
to defund UNCs
LGBTQ group.
By Nick Niedzwiadek
Assistant State & National Editor

Tim Moore is slated to become one of the

most powerful politicians in North Carolina on
Wednesday, assuming the role of speaker of the
N.C. House. More than two decades ago, Moore
stirred controversy as speaker of UNCs Student
Congress for attempting to defund the Carolina
Gay and Lesbian Association (CGLA).
The Republican from Kings Mountain will
likely replace newly elected U.S. Sen. Thom
Tillis as the legislature begins its 2015 session.
Moore was first elected to the House in 2002
and served on the Board of Governors from
1997 to 2001. He graduated from UNC in 1992
after transferring from Campbell University.
Moore became speaker of Student Congress
shortly after he arrived at UNC. In May 1991,
Moore appointed 11 additional members to
Congress for the summer session and led an
effort to stop the Carolina Gay and Lesbian
Association and Black Student Movement
from receiving student fee funding.
The CGLA advocates the activities of
homosexuals, said Moore in a May 25, 1991
story in The (Raleigh) News and Observer. By
virtue of homosexuality being an illegal activity, the code of the Student Congress prohibits
us from allocating funds to a group that promotes illegal activity.
Moore did not respond to multiple calls and
emails to his legislative office.
Matthew Heyd, then student body president,
launched opposition to Moores efforts. A challenge to the legality of Moores summer appointments stopped Congress activities until the fall
semester, but the two men were frequently at
loggerheads during the years Congress session.
There are issues on campus that need to be
addressed tuition hikes, fee hikes and budget
cuts that need to be addressed, Heyd told The
Daily Tar Heel in 1991. All this bills going to do
is piss people off.
Heyd has since become an Episcopal rector
and declined to comment for this story.
Elizabeth Stiles was co-chairwoman of the
CGLA in 1988-89 and said the organization
now called the Sexuality and Gender Alliance
helped welcome gay students on campus.
Many of our members had been harassed,
thrown out of their houses and living in

reduced circumstances, she said in an email.

But they worked, paid tuition, leaned on each
other for support and made it through college.
Other student government members, such as
Andrew Cohen, also opposed Moores attempt
to defund CGLA citing its role in creating a
more inclusive campus community.
Mr. Moore has persuaded me that it is a
felony for us to fund the CGLA, said Cohen in a
May 23, 1991 story in The Daily Tar Heel. But
Im going to suggest that we all be felons because
this law sucks.
The Daily Tar Heel ran numerous editorial
cartoons lampooning Moore, while letters to the
editor opposing and supporting him poured in.
In September of 1991, Moore suggested that he
wanted students to vote on whether to fund the
CGLA, though that proposal never materialized.
The CGLA eventually received funding in
spring 1992, though Moores Congress placed a
rider on its budget meaning it had to submit
its publications for approval and was prevented
from engaging in overt political activity. In fall
1992, Congress removed the restrictions.
In 2012, Moore supported Amendment One,
which banned gay marriage. That amendment
was struck down in October.
Terri Phoenix, current director of UNCs
LGBTQ Center, is aware of Moores effort to
defund the CGLA but said it doesnt impact the
centers mission today.
Regardless of who is in what position at the
state level, the position of the LGBTQ center is
to work on making campus the most welcoming to people of all backgrounds, Phoenix said.
Stiles said UNC played a pivotal role in
advancing gay rights during the 1990s.
There was not much going on anywhere
else in the state, but UNC and Chapel Hill
more broadly were very supportive, she said.
Folks really connected to the human and civil
rights aspect of the movement even if they had
no direct experience with LGBT folks or the
issues of this particular movement.

ATHLETIC-ACADEMIC SCANDAL

UNC responds to accrediting agency

The University submitted its
223-page response on Monday.
By Bradley Saacks
University Editor

In a 223-page response on Monday,

the University defended its integrity to its
accrediting agency.
The Southern Association of Colleges and
Schools Commission on Colleges decided
to review the Universitys accreditation
after receiving a copy of the $3.1 million
Wainstein investigation.
The agency questioned the integrity of the
University and listed 17 other possible policy
violations in its letter to Chancellor Carol Folt.
Since the time of the commissions
Special Committee review April 2-4, 2013,
the institution has undergone a more extensive and thorough collection and review of
documents, leading the commission to conclude that UNC-Chapel Hill was not diligent
in providing information to the committee

Accreditation moving forward

On Monday, the University sent a response to the letter from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on
Colleges, UNCs accrediting agency. The University is under review due to the academic fraud revealed in the Wainstein report.

Rick White, associate vice chancellor for

White said in an email that Lynn Williford,

In July, the U.S. Surgeon General issued a

call to action to prevent skin cancer by raising
awareness of the major health problem.
On Monday, UNC junior Alana Zeitany, a
nutrition major, took up the call by petitioning the Chapel Hill Town Council to consider a
motion to prohibit the offering of free tanning
beds by apartment complexes in Chapel Hill.
Zeitany surveyed apartments over the summer to see if they offered free tanning to their
residents, and presented her findings to the
town council at a meeting on Monday night.
I think taking up the call to action is really
important in a town like Chapel Hill where we
have such a great school of public health and a

Hughes hopes to lead Orange Dems again

Matt Hughes is running
unoppposed for
the chairman position.
By Shantan Krovvidi
Staff Writer

The Democratic Party is looking to

rebound from its statewide losses in
Novembers midterm elections, and
Orange County Democratic Party
chairman Matt Hughes, who is running unopposed for reelection at the
annual party convention in April,
wants to lead that effort locally.
Hughes was initially elected to the
party chairman position in November
2011. If hes elected in April, it will be
Hughes third term as chairman.
Hughes said one of his biggest

accomplishments was increasing voter

turnout in the recent midterm elections.
I think that when you look at the
biggest accomplishments, when you
look at politics, what you can point
to, more times than not, are election
results, Hughes said. We increased
significantly the share of the vote
but also the number of the votes for
the Democratic nominee by 7,300
votes nearly.
Hughes attributed the achievement to the work of volunteers and
party support.
I think its undeniable that that
is a big accomplishment, not just my
own accomplishment, but also the
accomplishment of the volunteers
that gave their time to work on getting out the vote, Hughes said.
North Carolina Democrats lost a

key Senate seat in the midterm election when incumbent Kay Hagan was
defeated by Republican Thom Tillis.
We dont have a lot of losses to
really mount back from Senator
Hagan lost in the last election by less
than 50,000 votes, which is an incredibly close election, Hughes said.
You know it just seems that we
have to work harder to drive out
more votes in the future.
Susan Romaine, first vice chairwoman of the Orange County

Democratic Party, said Hughes is a

great leader for the party.
I think we have the perfect
person in Matt Hughes to lead this
countys efforts to turn out the vote
and turn North Carolina blue again,
Romaine said.
Romaine said Hughes was a successful chairman because of his hard
work and dedication to the party, his
ability to work well with people with
various backgrounds and his knowledge of all the issues at hand.
I think the party leader needs to
have a clear vision for what the party
needs to do to turnout the vote,
Romaine said. The person needs
to work very well with other people,
and not only just Democrats, but
also to be able to reach across the
aisle and reach out to unaffiliated
voters, voters that havent made up

OUT OF THEIR ELEMENT

their minds, and even Republicans.

Ann DeMaine, third vice chairwoman of the party, said she has
known Hughes since he was in high
school.
He has done work organizing his
high school Democratic Party group,
DeMaine said. He is one of the
brightest people I have ever met.
DeMaine said that a good party
leader must have the abilities to get
along well with a large group of people, attract new people into the party
organization and be aware of issues
not just into the community but statewide, all of which Hughes has.
Hes done a good job including a
lot of people and hes also done a really
job representing us with the state
Democratic Party, DeMaine said.

Member of
NC House
leaves
Democrats
Rep. Paul Tine has joined
the General Assemblys
Republican House Caucus.
By Sara Svehla
Staff Writer

with the second half of her semifinal

match, she looks forward to facing the same opponent, Harvards
Adrienne Jarocki who won the
event again later in the season.
I think I lost focus and there
were opportunities that I did not
take, Litynski said. But I saw
some things in that match that I
will use when I play her again.

Paul Tine, a member of the N.C.

House of Representatives, has decided
to leave the Democratic Party and,
as of Friday, has joined the General
Assemblys Republican House Caucus.
Tine, who represents District 6 in
eastern North Carolina, is now officially listed as unaffiliated.
Along with Tines history of fiscal
conservatism, his decision to caucus with the Republican Party was
spurred by the transportation, education and insurance problems facing
the state, which he believes can be
better solved if legislators look past
their party affiliations.
These (fiscally conservative) ideas
have become increasingly less welcome
in the Democratic Party over the past
several years, Tine said in a statement.
The majority party in Raleigh has said
they will make room for a more moderate approach.
Speaker of the House-designee Tim
Moore and other House Republicans
say they are happy to welcome Tine to
the caucus.
The House Republican Caucus
welcomes Rep. Tine and looks forward to adding his voice as we address
the important issues facing North
Carolinians, Moore said in a statement.
While current Republican members of the House have accepted Tine
into their ranks, history shows that
defectors, or politicians who switch
parties, have to prove themselves
to their new party before they are
entirely trusted.
The party that the defector enters
sees him as a latecomer because he
hasnt campaigned for or built alliances within that party previously, said
Ferrel Guillory, a UNC journalism
professor and director of the Program
on Public Life. Theres a transition
period where defectors from one party
to another have to prove over time
that their switch was genuine.
During the 1980s, after former
president Ronald Reagan was elected,
the transition period for lawmakers
who switched affiliations was not as
pronounced as it is now.
In the 1980s, when the
Republicans were winning a lot of
converts, they were happy to welcome
defectors because it signified the
growing strength of the Republican
Party in the wake of Reagans election, said Guillory.
Party switching became common in
the wake of Reagans election, but has
since died down, Guillory said.
Theres been a lot less party
switching in the last twenty years
because most of the conservative
white Democrats who wanted to
become Republican had already
done so, and the sons and daughters
of these party switchers grew up as
Republicans, said Guillory.
Paul Tines party switch gives the
Republicans a 75-45 supermajority
in the House, reinforcing the power
theyve held in state government since
the 2010 election.
The inclusion of Rep. Tine reflects
the continuing positive momentum of
our caucus as we head into the upcoming legislative season, Moore said.
Analyst John Wynne wrote in a
Friday post on the Politics North
Carolina blog that Tines departure is
a blow to an already struggling state
Democratic Party.
The legislative session hasnt even
started yet and already N.C. House
Democrats have won the first worst
week in Raleigh award, he wrote.

William Booker, freshman psychology and spanish double major, auditions for Modern Shakespeare Societys 30 Plays in 60 Minutes on Monday evening.

Modern Shakespeare holds 30 Plays in 60 Minutes auditions

By Everett Handy
Staff Writer

The approach to the ongoing auditions for

the Modern Shakespeare Societys 30 Plays in
60 Minutes is as unique as the performances
themselves will be.
The auditions which began Monday and
are continuing with callbacks today didnt
ask prospective actors to just memorize a typical monologue, but rather to write and perform
their own.
The audition process for the LAB! Theatre
offshoot group mirrors the work that cast members of 30 Plays in 60 Minutes will do to prepare for their weekly shows.
The neo-futurist aesthetic is a style originally
created by an experimental Chicago theater
troupe called The Neo-Futurists. The style
demands complete honesty from actors, constant,
quick-paced performances and numerous plays of
consistent brevity something that 30 Plays in
60 Minutes captures in both the style of writing
and performance.
At the beginning of each show, performers
must be ready to perform the 30 plays in any

order the audience calls them out. Whether they

perform all 30 is up to audience participation
and sheer luck.
At the auditions on Monday night, LAB!
artistic directors Kevin Spellman and Haley
Smyser said, due to the flexible and evolving nature of the group, they are not looking
for any specific type of performer but rather
those who will best fit into the future of their
group.
Spellman, a senior information science and
dramatic art major, said the audtions are exciting
for the company.
We are looking to build up our company
so that the longevity increases. So I figure itd
be pretty fair to say that were looking for some
younger talent, he said.
At the same time, though, we are going to
be looking for what we always have: for people
who have an openness to experiencing and creating this kind of art.
Spellman said being a creative writer is
important, and he wants to see skilled storytelling in each performance.
I think, first and foremost, we want people
with a creative mind who are ready to be on

stage, tell their stories, work with us to tell our

stories and move forward beyond that, said
Smyser, a senior communications and English
major.
Actors were given five minutes to perform
their piece and were notified if they made callbacks on Monday night.
The second day of auditions will ask performers to work as a group to create their own
original five plays in 10 minutes to further
demonstrate they belong in the group.
William Booker, a freshman Spanish and
psychology major, auditioned for 30 Plays in 60
Minutes on Monday and said it was a new experience that challenged him.
This was completely out of my element
because the audition process was to write
your monologue in the neo-futurist style, he
said.
Before looking at the audition process I
had never looked at that term before, but the
whole thing is portraying yourself and being
autobiographical. Ive heard great things
about it.

FENCING: GILLIAN LITYNSKI PLACES THIRD IN DIVISION-I WOMENS SABRE AT NORTH AMERICAN CUP

Litynski records highest tournament nish

The senior was among

three top-40 womens
Sabre finishers for UNC.
By Mohammed Hedadji
Staff Writer

Gillian Litynski didnt let a

month of no scheduled practices
keep her out of the gym.
The results showed for the senior
fencer in Salt Lake City this weekend where she earned her highest
tournament placement ever.
Litynski tied for third place
for Division-I Womens Sabre in
UNCs return to competition in the
January North American Cup, a
four-day tournament featuring top
talent from across the United States.
The team came into the tournament with only two days of preparation, after not having practiced
together since before Thanksgiving
break. But that didnt stop Litynski,
who spent much of her break training at Beaches Sabre Club in New
York with her old coach, Carolyn
Washburn-Lapham.
Its very easy in fencing not to
play consistently, Litynski said.
So to perform the way I did this

weekend was a definite confidence

booster going into the rest of the
season.
Coach Ron Miller, who anticipated some rust from his athletes,
thought the lack of practice time
played a role in how the tournament went.
It was a good reality check,
Miller said. Jumping right back
into competition and going up
against fencers who have the ability
to challenge or even beat you will be
good for our team going forward.
Some of our athletes performed
above our expectations and some
didnt perform as well as they had
hoped. Overall, the weekend went
as we thought it would go.
Litynskis performance was not
the only impressive one. Other
notable finishes were Cailtin
Malone and Sarah Hanvy, who
finished 39th and tied for 34th,
respectively in the Division-I
Womens Sabre. Amanda
Lalezarian also finished 20th in the
Junior Womens Foil.
Lalezarian, who started her day
going 5-1 in the first round, attributed her success to the momentum
her strong start gave her.
I was able to keep a level head,
enjoy my fencing and make deci-

sions that I would not have made

if I was under a lot of pressure,
Lalezarian said.
But despite the impressive
performance, Litynski still shined
above the others.
She kept a level head as well,
performing in one of the toughest
events at the tournament.
She was simply ready, Miller
said. She was in the zone.
While Litynski was disappointed

6,000 sign up for

GradeBuddy site
By Kate Albers
Senior Writer

Some 6,000 UNC students

are using GradeBuddy, with
an average of 300 signups per
day, but no one knows if its
allowed.
GradeBuddy is an online
platform for students to
access study materials,
including notes and study
guides. The company also
hires students, who can
make up to $500 depending on the class, to produce
comprehensive notes for
every lecture and a study
guide for every exam.
Students who are not hired
can share study materials for
credits on the website.
But freshman Matthew
Wolffe said he thinks this
organization could encourage
slacking.
I feel like this company
provides an excuse for kids
not to show up to class if they
think they can just get the
notes and get a good grade
that way.
Jenn Shabani, a spokeswoman for GradeBuddy, said
in an email that students
must upload notes in their

own words.
Shabani said GradeBuddys
greatest concern is to work
with universities.
We have had professors
express their concerns if we
provide the study materials
for their class students wont
show up to lecture anymore.
Having a comprehensive
review of your class would not
deter a student from attending any more than having a
textbook for that class, she
said.
Sophomore Shaza Gaballah
said she thinks it sounds
cool, but she remembers
more when she takes her own
notes. She said she thinks this
system could run into issues
with the Honor Code.
Im not really sure how
the school would respond
to something like that, she
said. Theres definitely teachers that wouldnt care and
definitely encourage sharing notes within a class, but
theres also teachers who are a
lot stricter about it. I feel like
it could unnecessarily cause
problems.
Dakota Foard, chairwoman
of the Undergraduate Honor
Court, said students need

to make sure they ask their

professors about the website
before they use it.
Whenever you have an
outside resource like this, students really need to ask their
professors whether or not
they are comfortable with it,
she said.
And I dont think something like this is necessarily
explicitly prohibited in the
instrument for all classes,
but I do think its likely a
lot of professors would be
uncomfortable with it. And
for that reason, I think its
best to ask their professor if
its okay.
Foard stressed there is not
an across-the-board policy
for passing notes and sharing
information, but it is up to
individual professors.
It is within the honor
systems jurisdiction to hear
cases of students using information from other students
who have taken the class
though, she said.
In any situation its always
better to err on the side of
caution, and ask the professor
if its okay or not.

We can be a leader in curtailing such a risky behavior.
Though she herself used
tanning beds throughout middle and high school, Zeitany
learned of the dangers of
indoor tanning beds from her
sister, a medical school student
interested in dermatology.
When touring apartments to
live in for her sophomore year,
Zeitany said she saw many of
the newer apartments offered
free tanning as an amenity.
My mom made the comment, that should be illegal
because that is so unhealthy,
Zeitany said.

In November, Belle

UNCs case was the biggest

When asked what she

as an amenity. These include

the new, highly-sought after
apartments like Shortbread
Lofts and LUX at Central
Park and older, luxury complexes like The Warehouse
Apartments and Chapel
Ridge Student Housing.
Zeitany said one apartment
complex, which she did not
name, did not even follow
state regulations on the practice of indoor tanning.
Zeitany said this complex
allowed anyone to come to
the desk and use the tanning
bed, even if they are not residents of the apartment.
I wonder what the appropriate response is in view
that state regulations are not
being enforced, said council
member Maria Palmer.

Alumnus Julian Caldwell debuts EP

By Jamie Stuart
Staff Writer

Between a decade of
rapping and a work ethic
perfected during a busy
four years at UNC, Julian
Caldwell has developed his
style and is releasing what
he says is his best work yet.
ALLCAPSNOSPACES, titled
in reference to the spelling of
his stage name, JSWISS, is
an eight-track extended play
released today.
The lyrics and storytelling
and the messages in my music
are something that people
say sticks out, and I really put
an effort into keeping in my
music, Caldwell said.
ALLCAPSNOSPACES features production reminiscent
of the old school jazzy vibes
of some of JSWISSs favorite
artists, such as A Tribe Called
Quest and The Roots. The EP
shows Caldwells progress since
his first project, Awthenticity,
which he recorded while he
was a student.
Although theres no consistent message or theme
in the album, Caldwell
said theres a good balance
between songs that are heavy
on wordplay and those that
are more introspective.
Two tracks which stand

out as especially inspiring and

important are Karma, which
discusses a variety of issues
including poverty and violence,
and We Aint the Same, which
discusses racism.
I hope that my music
inspires people directly and
indirectly, Caldwell said.
I hope that the messages
specifically inspire people to
think a certain way about different topics.
While Caldwell has a passion for the storytelling style
of rap reminiscent of the 90s
Golden Age of hip-hop,
listeners can also hear newer
influences in his music.
His ability to kind of mix
old school hip-hop vibes with
newer content is his best asset
I would say. His music doesnt
sound dated but it has hints
of the old school vibes, said
DJ Forge, the official disc
jockey for UNCs basketball
and football games.
It was at UNC where
Caldwell found other aspiring artists, and they banded
together to form No9to5, a collective of emcees and producers that have opened for several big-name artists such as 2
Chainz and Juicy J and toured
the east coast multiple times.
Their most recent performance
was at Local 506 Wednesday in

support of the UNC Lineberger

Comprehensive Cancer Center.
The EP will kick off a big
year for No9to5, which is
planning its first national tour.
He has been an example
to the No9to5 collective as a
whole of how youre supposed
to hold yourself as an emcee
as well as a businessperson
because, kind of like he always
says, An artist is a business,
said Joshua Rowsey, a member
of No9to5.
As a student at UNC,
Caldwell did over 100 performances on and off campus.
Caldwell graduated from
UNC in 2013.
I wasnt wasting a lot of
time so Id really try and be
efficient with it and really
go hard with the music,
Caldwell said. It really
helped to come up with my
work ethic.
Since graduating, he has
been living and working in
New York City. As well as
performing in the legendary
Apollo Theater and opening
for members of The Roots,
one of his largest influences,
he continues to work with
No9to5.
The hardest thing about
being someone like me who
has found success on the
underground level but not

Orange County is expecting to see a big increase

in its recycling after the
Orange County Board of
Commissioners approved the
purchase of thousands of new
blue, 95-gallon roll carts for
residents in the rural curbside
program.
The program is a decadesold program that picks up
recycling placed at the edge of
participants driveways every
other week.
The program covers roughly 14,000 residents outside
the city limits of Chapel Hill,
Hillsborough and Carrboro.
Approximately 11 percent
of the recycling that Orange
County processed in 2012-13
came from the program.
About 6,000 residents in
the program have signed up
for the new carts. Orange
County is expected to begin
delivering the carts in the
last week of January and
plans on finishing as late as
March.
Approximately 500 rural
residents opted out of the
new program.
The plan is that the service will be expanded in time
to include everyone, Orange

County Commissioner Barry

Jacobs said.
The total cost of the new
carts is $444,144.
Some of the money comes
from state grants, but most
of it comes from the fees for
pickup, Jacobs said.
Before the purchase of the
new carts, participants of the
program had to carry their
recycling in 18-gallon bins to
the edge of their driveway for
pickup.
The older bins made cardboard recycling difficult, since
cardboard usually wouldnt
fit in the container, said Gayle
Wilson, director of Orange
County Solid Waste.
It was also possible for
some recycling from the older
bins to be lost due to animals
or wind when they were laid
out on the curb, he said.
The 95-gallon carts are
more efficient than the
18-gallon bins, Wilson said.
Theoretically, when they
are bigger, you will put more
recycling in them for pickup
so you can broaden the recycling, Jacobs said.
The new carts are easier to
transport, both for residents
and for the pickup crew,
Wilson said.
Tilting and rolling a cart
is easier than having to put

your back into lifting a bin,

he said.
But these new carts also
allow for automated pickup.
Automated or semi-automated pickup is safer for the
employee and leads to fewer
injuries, Wilson said.
These new carts were
implemented for the urban
curbside recycling program in
July 2014.
Those carts led to a large
increase in recycling, said
Eric Gerringer, recycling programs manager for Orange
County.
The urban area has
started collection with the
carts, and we have increased
the tonnage of recycling by
29 percent compared to the
same time last year, Wilson
said.
While the increase in
recycled material will likely
be smaller for the rural
program than for the urban
program due to the difficulty
of collecting recycling from
rural areas, it is still expected to be close to 15 percent,
Gerringer said.
Im in favor of having
everyone decorate the new
carts, but I seem to be the
only one, Jacobs added.

The idea started in

London, took shape in a business class at UNC and was
tested in a University Mall
parking lot.
Juniors Austin Helms and
Randy Short, started Buddys,
a car wash and detailing company, in August 2014. While
customers shop and run
errands, their team washes
the cars in the parking lot.
Helms, who has been
washing cars since he was 12
years old, got the business
idea when he went to London
in the summer of 2014.
There you park your car in
the back, go shop, come back
out and your car is completely
detailed, he said. When I
stepped out of the car, I had
this little light bulb moment.
Here was something we
didnt have large scale in the
United States that I wanted
to bring back.
Short, Helms business partner, said one of the main differences between Buddys and a
car wash is their use of a waterefficient solution that cleans
and waxes at the same time,
like Helms saw in London.
You just spray it on and
wipe it off with a towel,
he said. It allows us to be
mobile and go to different
parking lots since we dont
have a set structure.
Helms was able to test
out his business idea in an
entrepreneurship class during
fall 2014 when he launched

Buddys, a waterless car washing business, won third place and
$1000 at the 2014 Carolina Challenge Pitch Party.

a week-long test market in

November where they washed
cars in the Southern Season
parking lot, washing as many
as 50 cars in 18 hours.
The week working at
Southern Season was tough,
Short said. One day it was
27 degrees. One day it rained.
But this is part of the entrepreneurial journey were taking right now.
Though Helms said his
hands turned black from
washing cars for a week, he
plans to continue Buddys.
From their findings during the
test market, Short estimates
they could wash more than
8,000 cars a year and make
about $120,000 in revenue.
Jim Kitchen, UNCs
entrepreneur-in-residence and
Helms former business professor, said his business model
has the potential to grow.
I think its a work in prog-

ress, he said. I think hes

learning to grow his business
organically. Hes learning
by doing, which is the most
important thing to do.
Helms business model
won third place out of
110 teams in the Carolina
Challenge competition. Later
this month, the Buddys team
will travel to the Edens Retail
Challenge competition, a
national competition.
Buddys hopes to partner
with local farmers markets
where they donate a percent
of their revenue to the Share
the Food Foundation.
After only four months of
being in business, Helms said
so many opportunities have
arisen that it is difficult to
plan what comes next.
If a door opens, we usually
walk through it, he said.

New
training
is step
forward

NEXT

ou might have seen it

amidst your start-ofthe-semester emails. In
between syllabuses and listserv
emails is a message from the
Office of the Vice Chancellor
for Student Affairs. I skimmed
it, expecting to find another
message about contextualized
grades. Instead, I found evidence of a step forward from
UNCs administration.
In case you missed it, the
University now requires training on sexual harassment and
sexual violence for all students,
faculty and staff. According to
the email, the online training
module includes information
about laws prohibiting sexual
harassment, sexual violence,
interpersonal violence and
stalking.
There are several reasons this
announcement deserves praise.
First, the Title IX Awareness
and Violence Prevention training is mandatory (and enforced
as such). If the module is not
completed within 45 days, students could receive a registration hold on their accounts.
Of course, there will always
be some students who wont
take the training seriously or
will view it as some kind of
war on men. If they dismiss it?
Fine. I feel optimistic about the
larger UNC community. Most
of us want to make this campus
a safe place for all, so making
this training mandatory will
help reach students who might
not otherwise take a womens
and gender studies class or join
groups like Project Dinah. The
trainings availability will also
increase awareness of Title IX,
making students more likely to
seek support from the Title IX
office.
Second, it shows the administration is taking steps to
confront sexual violence. The
email notes that this training is just one part of a series
of efforts being made by
the University. Im particularly excited to hear about an
upcoming sexual assault campus climate survey.
I hope that the administrations efforts to end interpersonal violence will continue to
include student feedback and
collaboration. It is disappointing, however, that the administration is vocal about interpersonal violence where our own
student government has been
quiet. I encourage them to join
the office of Student Affairs in
being vocal about these issues.
Finally, the UNC community
will have a chance to give feedback on the trainings. The Title
IX Awareness and Violence
Prevention online training wont
be perfect. The quality of the
training cant be evaluated on
the basis of a single email, but
the feedback sessions will be a
useful place to bring any concerns or criticism.
For some students, this
training might seem annoying.
But for many, it will be illuminating. I didnt learn about consent and interpersonal violence
in high school. Woefully inadequate health education has left
many of us bereft of this knowledge. This training will provide
vital new information, resources
and strategies for ending violence on our campus. Alcohol
safety modules are mandatory.
Through LFIT classes, nutrition
and exercise trainings are mandatory, and it is only right that
sexual violence prevention be
treated similarly.
Thanks, Student Affairs.

FEATURED ONLINE READER COMMENT

Moral judgments of
Silent Sam fall short

EDITORIAL

Weve got beef, Berger

Senate leader uses
twisted logic to
obstruct civil rights.

federal court made

North Carolina the
29th state in the
union to legalize same-sex
marriage in October. While
civil rights groups and the
LGBTQ community largely
welcomed the ruling,
some state Senate leaders
remained staunchly supportive of discrimination
based on sexual orientation.
Phil Berger, president
pro tempore of the N.C.
Senate, released a statement shortly after the
courts decision promising his constituents that

he would pursue a bill

allowing state-employed
magistrates to abstain
for religious reasons
from awarding marriage
licenses to same-sex
couples. The proposed
legislation, which could
be debated during the
legislative session that
begins Wednesday, would
circumvent the federal
courts ruling and create a
barrier for same-sex couples who plan to marry.
Legitimizing refusals to
perform a civic duty based
on personal prejudices is
not without precedent.
Ruby Bridges, the first
black child to integrate
a New Orleans public
school, remembered in a

recent interview with The

Huffington Post that many
of her white teachers quit
their jobs when she became
a student. Those teachers,
who made a calculated
decision not to perform
their job out of disdain for
black people, are being quietly emulated by civil servants of the 21st century.
It is shameful that North
Carolinas politicians continue to pursue the subjugation of same-sex couples
who have every right to
be treated equally before
the law. In his statement,
Berger was quick to refer
to the First Amendment.
Perhaps he should also consider the Equal Protection
Clause of the 14th.

EDITORIAL

Housing inclusivity
Advocacy networks
a welcome addition
to dorm life.

his semester, the

community governments that organize
and run UNCs residence
halls are creating a new
position designed to introduce students to campus
diversity. The new position
deserves praise for benefitting both students and
social justice-driven groups
on campus.
It should signal to students that the University
is committed to integrating campus involvement

directly into its housing

experience.
Freshman students
unfamiliar with the wide
range of advocacy groups
on campus are especially
poised to benefit from this
new position.
Krista Prince, coordinator for leadership development, said this pilot program is intended to enable
students to co-create what
this experience will be in
the future.
Students who end up filling these positions should
begin with a determination
to connect and coordinate
with the leadership of the
Campus Y and other hubs

for campus advocacy.

These student-led groups
constantly seek new members and tend to require a
more nuanced pitch than
Fallfest alone makes possible. The first appointees to
the advocacy program will
find representatives of these
groups eager to present to
potential members.
The relationship between
student-led initiatives and
the appointed social justice
advocates will be crucial to
maximizing the effectiveness of the position.
Students interested in
applying to fill this innovative position must apply
by Jan. 14.

TO THE EDITOR:
When considering
individuals from history,
it is often easy to conflate
our possession of superior knowledge with the
possession of a superior
morality. By time and sepia
alike, we are distanced
from the alumni of UNCs
Confederate years.
But if the students who
seek Sams removal would
pause for but a moment,
they would realize that
they themselves wear jeans
made in Mexican maquiladoras, use electronics
soldered by the hands of
Chinese political prisoners
or perhaps treat themselves with medications
first trialed on the impoverished and illiterate Dalits
of India.
Do students like Levin
realize that they regularly
consume goods as morally
tainted as the plantation
produce of the antebellum
South? Could they truly face
one of UNCs Confederate
dead and claim to be the
better? Could they cast the
first stone?
Rather, what must
be understood in any
discussion regarding
Silent Sams presence on
campus, is that UNCs
Confederate dead did not
necessarily form ranks
in defense of slavery any
more readily than we ourselves would form ranks
in order to perpetuate the
injustices of our time.
The reasons Confederate
soldiers fought were varied and sometimes parochial, and the condemnable
motives of the Confederacys
wealthy slave owners should
not sweepingly deny UNCs
fallen the respect they
deserve for being stubborn
Tar Heels on the battlefield,
just as the machinations of
former Vice President Dick
Cheney and his cronies
should not prevent us from
giving respect and support to
veterans of the wars in Iraq
and Afghanistan, some of
whom study among us.
I agree that a statue
installed by proponents of
racism and the guardians
of a racist legacy shouldnt
form such a salient and
defining feature on our
campus, but without an
actionable and alternate
plan for how to best memorialize the 321 alumni
killed in the war, removal
of the statue will serve as a
dangerous precedent, and
allow for the disownment
of other UNC veterans who
served in controversial
conflicts.

Community farms
provide stability
TO THE EDITOR:
If we are going to
spend billions every year
on health care and food
assistance programs, then
we need to start investing more of that money
into sustainable projects

that are nearly free or can

pay for themselves over
time. Community farms on
every block would boost
every local economy in this
country.
I do not think it makes
sense that we pay farmers to
not grow certain crops while
people go hungry. Farmers
should be paid for their
surpluses instead. Until
we meet the needs of our
own people, we are a poor
example to the world. Not
for long though this generation is here to unite us.
This is how we put
people back to work. We
just need a New Deal that
will allow us to build the
food system in this country
block by block just like
we built up the roads and
bridges. It is our most
pressing need. Any initial
costs would be made up
after harvests and sales in
the first year.
It will change our society
when there is a local food

God willing, the people will

Protestors should
practice justice, too
TO THE EDITOR:
America is not a police
state. This is not a country
in which the arm of justice
is empowered to pursue
arbitrary and selfish goals.
Instead, America is a land
of laws that restrict harm,
damage, selfishness and
the arbitrary use of force
by police as well as citizens. Power in America is
not absolute because it is
restricted by law. In particular, the exercise of power
in America is properly limited by accountability.
When we see a case of
injustice, we should be so
bold as to be a whistleblower, making sure the
accountability structure
is aware of the situation,
whether this means reporting spousal abuse to the
police or reporting an
unfair treatment of employees. However, the manner
in which such reporting
and protesting is done also
requires accountability by
citizens.
Protesting a perceived
injustice does not give an
individual himself or herself permission to engage
in additional injustice.
Protesting injustice does
not justify looting and damaging the property of others
and the community.
We need to engage in
serious and difficult dialogue about the continuing struggles and issues
in our society, as we seek
to balance authority and
accountability. Violent protesting, however, does not
facilitate such discussion.
Instead, we must all act
in ways that respect those
around us, and we must
hold each other accountable, police and citizens
alike, for our behavior.
