Harvards Amaker familiar with Tar Heels

Now a head coach, Tommy
Amaker was once an
assistant under Coach K.
By Aaron Dodson
Senior Writer

Will he call Coach K for advice?

Thats the question.
Harvard mens basketball coach
Tommy Amaker played at Duke for
Coach Mike Krzyzewski for four
years from 1983-87. Amaker also
served as the Hall of Fame coachs
assistant for seven seasons and his
associate head coach for two years in
Durham from 1988-97.
Now, after Harvards 53-51 defeat
of Yale on Saturday earned the
team an automatic bid to the NCAA
Tournament, Amakers Crimson will
face his once greatest adversary.
The West Regions No. 13 seed
Harvard (22-7, 11-3 Ivy League) will
face fourth-seeded North Carolina

(24-11, 11-7 ACC) on Thursday night

in Jacksonville, Fla.
But before then, it doesnt appear
that Amaker will be dialing his longtime mentor.
Well everyone has their own
things that they are trying to get
prepared for. So you always have to
be sensitive to that, said Amaker on
an Ivy League postseason media teleconference Monday morning, without giving a direct answer. (Duke is)
in the midst of a historic season
Well do our due diligence to see if
we can get prepared as best we can.
The Tar Heels will present
Harvard with a great challenge. But
on paper, UNC isnt the best team
the Crimson will have faced this
season. Virginia is. The Cavaliers,
who are the No. 2 seed in the East
Region, defeated Harvard, 76-27, in
late December.
The 76 points against Virginia are
the most Harvard has given up all
season a far cry from the 57 points
a game the Crimson surrenders as the

nations No. 12 scoring defense.

Our defense has been our calling card, Amaker said. Were very
hopeful that we can be sound and
disciplined against an ultra-talented team like Carolina. Thats easier
said than done.
So is rebounding. UNC is ranked
No. 1 in the nation with 41 boards a
game. Harvard is ranked 276th.
Coach has a saying: No
rebounds, no way, said senior
Harvard forward Steve MoundouMissi. Thats definitely gonna apply
to this game, especially with those
guys from UNC.
This year, the Crimson will be
making its fourth consecutive NCAA
Tournament appearance.
In the Round of 64 of the
2014 tournament, then No. 12
seed Harvard upset No. 5 seed
Cincinnati before the Crimson fell
to No. 4 seed Michigan State by just
seven points.
Playing against Michigan State
really gave us an opportunity to see

what its like to play on a huge stage

against another storied program, said
senior swingman Wesley Saunders.
Amaker knows UNC is different.
Obviously, theyre as good of a

UNC students
lobby on
Capitol Hill
The third annual ACC student
advocacy trip brings student
concerns to Congress.
By Mark Lihn
Senior Writer

I used to read The

Onion and I sort of reference The Minor as the
UNC Onion, she said.
Whenever I read it, it was different.
In its goodbye article, The
Minor thanked its readers and said
the group had aimed to make a
positive impact on campus.
We hope that our articles
brought joy instead of sadness, we
hope we were properly satirical
more than mean, and we hope that
articles started important discussions, the post said.
Allen said they did just that.
I think they do a good job bringing to light issues that are sometimes overlooked on campus, he
said. They raised questions that are
important to talk about.

Three UNC students are visiting

Washington, D.C., to lobby legislators
and participate in the third annual ACC
student advocacy trip this week.
UNC was represented by senior
Raquel Dominguez, junior Diana Dayal
and freshman Andrew Brennen during
lobbying sessions today and Monday.
Dominguez, the undergraduate student attorney
general, said the purpose
of the event was to interact
with Congress to lobby for student aid,
loan funding and research funding. The
federal government plays a crucial role
in supporting collegiate research and
maintaining student access to affordable education, she said.
Brennen said he hoped the event
would help add another perspective by
allowing students to share their stories.
Were not going to pretend to have
any kind of huge impact on the political
system, he said. There are many more
players. Part of the point here is to get
students in front of the people that are
going to be making decisions and making
sure theyre listening to student voices.
He said the advocacy day should not
be the end of lobbying efforts.
Dominguez said the event is a great
opportunity for the student representatives to network with Congress and
other student leaders. Brennen said
it was rewarding to hear stories from
students of other schools and to discuss
possible areas for collaboration.
UNC is not the only school thats
facing some of these problems or has
students that are impacted by these
programs, Brennen said. N.C. State has
a huge number of students benefiting
from Federal Pell Grant programs and
other federal aid programs like that.
The 11 representatives from the three
participating North Carolina schools
UNC, N.C. State University and Wake
Forest University were divided into
two teams Monday. Dominguez said
the two teams combined to meet with
the offices of eight North Carolina congressmen and congresswomen.
The representatives plan to meet
today with the offices of Sens. Richard
Burr and Thom Tillis from North
Carolina, as well as Rep. Virginia Foxx
from North Carolinas 5th District.
Its a great opportunity for students
to be exposed to D.C., to see what its
like, to walk door-to-door and relate
to different members of Congress and
their staff, said Beau Mills, director of
the UNC Office of Federal Affairs.
UNC participated in the first annual
advocacy trip in 2013, but didnt go in
2014. Georgia Institute of Technology
led the organizational effort for this trip,
and every ACC school except for Duke
University is participating, Mills said.
Mills said the Office of Student
Affairs was responsible for choosing
UNCs student representatives.

DTH/AUGUSTA DEKEMPER
Dara hAnnaidh, Sarah Holstein and Samuel Haddad practice Gaelic Football and Hurling Monday as part of The Irish Sports and Culture Club.

A new club on campus promotes Irish culture year-round

By Sarah Thomas
Staff Writer

Many students celebrate St.

Patricks Day by dressing in green
and going out for drinks. But others celebrate Irish culture all year.
The members of the UNC Irish
Sports and Culture Club, which
became an organization in 2014,
play Gaelic football and hurling.
Members of the Carolina Irish
Association choreograph and perform traditional and modern Irish
dances. Their showcase is on March
27 at the Stone Center, said member
Shelby Hammerstein. The group is
trying to gain awareness for it today.
The Raleigh Gaelic Athletic
Association sponsors the Irish
Sports and Culture Club with
coaching and equipment, said

treasurer Sarah Holstein.

One of the coaches, former
chairman of the Raleigh GAA Dara
O hAnnaidh, moved to the United
States five years ago from Ireland.
The Irish community in the
Triangle is really flourishing, he
said. The dancing and sports
clubs are really good for the Irish
community. Its an easy home
away from home.
The UNC Irish Sports and
Culture Club is having a Gaelic
football competition on Sunday
against N.C. State Universitys
Gaelic sports club in Raleigh.
The members of both the Irish
Sports and Culture Club and the
Carolina Irish Association have
various backgrounds, and many
dont have any Irish ancestry at all.
Hammerstein said the Carolina

Irish Association members try

to promote and celebrate Irish
culture through dance, and they
hope that people without any Irish
descent will also become interested through their performances.
Hammerstein said she has been
Irish dancing for 15 years. Her
grandmother is of Irish descent,
and the Carolina Irish Association
allows her to stay connected to her
lineage and to part of her childhood.
I had the opportunity to go to
the world championships in Ireland
when I was eight, Hammerstein
said. I felt a huge connection there.
Dancing is a huge part of my life
and my identity.
The group has beginner dance
classes for anyone to attend.
Holstein is not of Irish descent
and only learned of traditional

Gaelic sports while

studying abroad in
Dublin. When she
returned to Chapel Hill,
she wanted to spread awareness of
these sports because she saw how
important they were to Irish people.
The club is mainly focused on
athletics, but Holstein said they
would like to get into other parts
of Irish culture, such as steelstring music. They are also interested in recruiting more women.
Gaelic sports are some of the
only sports women continue to
play after school, so we want to get
more women involved, she said.
Members of both groups said
that they are interested in collaborating with each other in the future.

The Minors retirement a major loss, students say

Writers for the satirical
publication said they will
no longer publish.
By Erin Wygant
Assistant Arts & Culture Editor

It profiled a traffic cone as a student body president candidate. It got

into a Twitter fight with UNCs Oral
Biology program and hit up Wendys
for a late-night hookup. But UNCs
only trustworthy news source, The
Minor, is no more.
The group posted to its website
Monday that it will stop publishing, stating, Were done because
things should end when they
should end.
An online publication, The
Minor has been publishing since
September 2013 and has since

satirically covered campus and

community events and issues.
In the post, the websites six
writers Jacob Rosenberg, John
Cruickshank, Ross Slaughter,
Fedor Kossakovski, Griffin Unger
and Erik Schoning thanked
their readers and revealed their
identities after remaining anonymous for nearly two years.
I think the fact that they posted
anonymously let them say things
everyone else wants to say
kind of point out what we were
all thinking, sophomore Cason
Whitcomb said.
Some loyal readers said The
Minors absence will be hard to fill.
Im a little bummed about them
stopping, said junior Will Foos. I
think someone will pop up and try
to take their spot, but I dont think
theyll be as good.
Junior Jerome Allen was shocked

to hear of The Minors retirement.

Its like hearing Jon Stewart
isnt doing The Daily Show, he
said. So sad.
Allen said the articles resonated
with students because they were
relatable.
I liked the one about WXYC trying too hard to be hipster because
Im in WXYC and it was funny to
see them call us out.
Sophomore Jared Williams and
freshman Chelsea Fisher both said
they read The Minor when it was
shared on their Facebook newsfeeds
and found the humor refreshing.
I read an article they wrote
about cargo shorts, Williams said.
It was like, Dont wear them,
theyre terrible, and I was like, Yes,
yeah, thank you.
Fisher said the publication offered
a lens into student life that was both
entertaining and thought provoking.

You must take the little potato with the big potato.

Bar offers tequila, empanadas

Bistro moves into Top This spot

After delays, Jasmin now open

Franklin goes Mongolian

Latin-American cuisine with a twist has

found its place in Carrboro, soon to be joined by
the towns first full tequila bar.
Calavela, an empanada and tequila bar
located at 370 E. Main St., opened its doors
two weeks ago.
Calavela serves 11 types of savory and sweet
baked empanadas ranging from $3 to $3.50
each. The stuffed pastries are Latin Americaninspired, but some contain American fillings,
like the Piggly Wiggly slow-smoked, Carolinastyle pulled pork empanada.
The restaurants Raleigh location offers 70
types of tequila, and the full bar will soon be
available in Carrboro, said owner Kenneth
Yowell.
Anyone that enjoys tequila is our demographic, Yowell said.
Business has been great since the opening,
said Yowell, who attributed much of the restaurants popularity to word of mouth.
Community support is more than we could
have hoped for, he said.

A full menu of locally farmed breakfast,

lunch and dinner dishes will take the place of
Top This! Roast Beef, Burgers & More.
Roots Bakery, Bistro and Bar opened at
161 E. Franklin St. at the end of February,
filling the space left by Top This!, which
closed in December after financial difficulties and business complications.
A few changes to the interior and plenty of
foot traffic have been beneficial for business,
said owner Turtle Harrison.
Were right beside Suttons, and theyre
pretty much always busy, so that helps,
Harrison said.
The restaurant is well-lit with big windows,
and business has been steady apart from a
slow-down over spring break, Harrison said.
The feedback has been really good, he
said. Everybodys really liking it.
Harrison said the restaurant sees a good
number of UNC students, and catering to
schools and hospitals has helped get its
name out.

There are no more Taco Tuesdays on

Franklin Street, but a popular North Carolina
Mediterranean restaurant is now filling the
space left by Qdoba Mexican Grill.
Jasmin Mediterranean Bistro, which has
existing locations in Raleigh and Cary, has
opened at the intersection of Franklin and
Columbia Streets.
Jasmin offers kabob, panini and pita dishes, along with Mediterranean salads, sides
and soups in a Greek-Lebanese fusion style.
The restaurants opening was delayed more
than a month.
Owner Nawwaf Said said the delay was due
to Chapel Hill and Orange County administrative procedures as well as the abundance of
snow days this winter.
Said said he is glad to have finally moved
forward with the restaurants opening after
the delays.
We are extremely excited about this new
location, Said said. Its what we have been
envisioning for the store.

After the closure of Korean restaurant

Chopsticks & More, a new Asian eatery is
gearing up to move into the 163 E. Franklin
St. location this spring.
Ms. Mong, a Mongolian restaurant, will be
opening in the space sometime in March, said
Isaac Park, one of the restaurants owners.
The tag is going to be Mongolian BBQ
Redefined, Park said.
Kind of an innovative take on the traditional way of doing Mongolian BBQ.
Park compared the restaurants style to
Chipotles and said customers will be able to
select the vegetables, meats and sauces that go
into their meal.
All the items on Ms. Mongs menu will cost
between $7 and $10, Park said.
We really feel like we can have something
to bring to the table on East Franklin Street,
he said.
There are a lot of businesses that can
make or break you, but we are confident; we
wouldnt be coming here if we werent.

Duke senior is
finalist for Mars
colony mission

NO LONGER ASKING

But some scientists remain

skeptical of the plans feasibility.
By Hallie Dean
Staff Writer

While most seniors graduating this spring

are planning their futures in different regions
across the country, one student at Duke
University hopes to be planning hers on Mars.
Senior Laurel Kaye has been selected as one
of 100 finalists competing to be a part of the
astronaut team sent on a one-way trip to Mars
where the ultimate goal is a sustainable colony.
A program called Mars One has been recruiting willing and qualified people during the past
two years to embark on a mission to establish
a permanent human settlement on the planet.
Mars One received more than 200,000 applicants and will eventually narrow it down to 24.
Kayes longtime dream of going to space
became more real in late February as she
received the news of her advancement through
another round of applicant cuts. Her involvement with Mars One began from a Facebook ad.
One of my friends posted it on my wall,
Kaye said. She knew Ive always had a passion
for Mars and immediately thought of me when
she saw it.
Mars One has established its plan for a
colony based upon solely existing technology.
According to the programs timeline, demonstration missions will begin in 2018, and the
first crew will be sent in 2024.
Once on Mars, the astronauts will remain for
the rest of their lives to carry out the mission.
Kaye had her doubts about the idea of not
returning from Mars. But she believes following her dreams is more important.
That was my hesitation off the bat, she said.
But if its your dream to go to Mars, and youre
going to work hard for a decade for it, I dont
think a one-way mission is that bad of an idea.
Mars One will send four astronauts every
two years. Once they arrive, the astronauts will
begin preparing for the next round of astronauts.
The cargo necessary for the crew will land a few
weeks after each crew does. The process will
continue indefinitely to expand the settlement.
But some scientists are skeptical of Mars
Ones plans to send people to Mars permanently, given the limitations of current technology.
Engineers from the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology published a study in October
on the projects feasibility and concluded that
Mars One will need new technology to keep
humans alive on Mars indefinitely.
For example, the mission is to grow all food
in the compound, but researchers found that
the levels of oxygen these plants produce will
be unsafe. A technological method of removing excess oxygen has not yet been developed.
Gerard t Hooft, a Nobel laureate and Mars
One ambassador, told U.K.-based The Guardian
that he doesnt think a 2024 launch is possible.
Still, for the final 100 applicants, the excitement of settling on Mars is all that matters.
The process began with a series of essay questions and an introduction video.
The first three questions were, tell them
about why you wanted to go to Mars, what
your sense of humor was like and what would
make you the optimal candidate, Kaye said.
N.C. State University senior Charles Parrish,
who made it through several rounds of cuts
but was not a finalist, said he remains hopeful
about eventually exploring space.
Although I may not be realizing my childhood dream of exploring space through Mars
One, my dream is very much still alive, he said.
Kaye knows that challenges are ahead that
a Mars mission carries more risks and unknowns
than certainties. But she believes shes ready.
Even as a kid Ive always been so interested
in space, she said. For me it wasnt that out of
the realms of normalcy.

Real Silent Sam counters criticism with new manifesto

By Katie Reeder
Staff Writer

We are no longer asking.

So a sign proclaimed at The Real Silent
Sam Coalitions presentation of its manifesto
outside Saunders Hall on Monday.
Senior Mars Earle, one of the events
organizers, said the manifesto was also a
way to combat the counterarguments that
have been raised over changing the name of
Saunders Hall to Hurston Hall and to outline what the group is asking.
Actually having something to hand the
(Board of Trustees) it makes it a little
more tangible, she said.
Some have argued that renaming the
building will create a slippery slope to
renaming other buildings.
We are not afraid of the slippery slope.
We are not afraid of beginning this work necessary for change, senior organizer Blanche
Brown read from the manifesto. We dont
ask: Where does it stop? Instead we ask:

Where does it start?

Another counterargument is that the campaign is seeking to revise history.
We are not trying to revise history, the
manifesto states. We are trying to challenge
the injustices etched in the stone of our present in order to influence our future.
The final point the manifesto addressed
was that William Saunders involvement in
the Ku Klux Klan does not extinguish the
good he did for the University.
The manifesto states that this argument
ignores the context of racial inequality that
allowed him to achieve what he did.
The demands outlined in the manifesto
also include placing a plaque on Silent Sam
to contextualize its history and instituting a
mandatory training program for incoming
students about the racial history of both the
University and Chapel Hill and an anti-racism
training for faculty, staff and administrators.
The final demand was the right to challenge
and change institutions they believe are racist.
Senior Dylan Mott said the group spoke to

Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs

Winston Crisp about these trainings. Mott said their goal is to have
it ready for the incoming freshmen.
Mott said he thinks the chancellor has the
power to place a plaque on the monument,
citing previous conversations with former
chancellor Holden Thorp.
Brown said the plaque never materialized
because former administrators feared retaliation in the form of budget cuts from the
N.C. General Assembly.
The Board of Trustees agreed to review the
coalitions proposal at its March 26 meeting.
Mott is optimistic about the meeting.
Its always a difficult question. I dont
like predicting the future, he said. But I do
think we are in a good position to negotiate
these things.
Brown said the group is organizing events
on the days leading up to the meeting and
plans to have a presence at the meeting.

UNC closer to acquiring historic building

The projects special use
permit and rezoning
were approved Monday.
By Zhai Yun Tan
Staff Writer

The UNC College of Arts and

Sciences is one step closer to
moving into its new office at 523
E. Franklin St. after the Chapel
Hill Town Council approved the
special use permit and zoning
atlas amendment for the project
Monday night.
The building, constructed
in 1967 as the Chapel Hill
Public Library, is in Chapel
Hills historic district. It previously housed the Chapel Hill
Museum and the Chapel Hill
Historical Society.
As part of the process to final-

ize UNCs purchase of the building, a proposal to change the

property from a public facility
into a general office building had
to be passed by the town council.
Weve been working on it for
almost four and a half months
now, said Rob Parker, senior
associate dean for development in the College of Arts and
Sciences and executive director of the Arts and Sciences
Foundation.
We have been working with
the neighborhood and they have
been very supportive.
The College won the bid in
July to buy the property from the
town for $1.25 million.
The next step in the process
for the proposal now is to gain
final approval at a council business meeting in April.
Currently working out of
a two-story office at 134 E.

Franklin St., the 20 development staff members who report

to Parker have outgrown their
space. Six other office employees
are scattered in office buildings
around campus.
If we can complete this in the
next couple of months, we hope
we can move in sometime in
summer 2016, Parker said.
The new location will allow
employees to have more access
to UNC parking spaces a block
away, a bus stop and new bicycle
racks, according to documents
provided at Mondays meeting.
Its status as a historical
landmark limits the amount of
renovation that the owner can
perform.
Any changes to the interior or exterior design has to
be approved by Preservation
North Carolina and the Historic
Preservation Foundation of

North Carolina.
The changes to
landscaping that the
College submitted in
the proposal are made to meet current ordinance requirements with
no major changes to its exterior
appearance.
This is an existing site that
has been there for 40 to 50
years, said Kay Pearlstein, senior
planner for the town of Chapel
Hill. It doesnt meet a lot of
todays ordinance requirements.
Occasional town meetings
could also be held in the building.
I know the town is losing this
as a public building, but a great
way to still have use of this public
facility is to have use of the building as a meeting place, said Lee
Storrow, a member of the Chapel
Hill Town Council.

UNC to enjoy NCAA home advantage

For the second year,
UNC opens the NCAA
Tournament at home.
By Brendan Marks
Assistant Sports Editor

DTH FILE/JOHANNA FEREBEE

Members of the womens basketball team link arms as the Tar
Heels watch a highlight reel during their senior night on Feb. 26.

Home sweet home.

For the second year in a
row, the North Carolina womens basketball team will play
its first game of the NCAA
Tournament in Chapel Hill.
UNC was announced as a
No. 4 seed in the Greensboro
region during Monday nights
selection show.
The Tar Heels will face No.
13 Liberty on Saturday morning, and if they win they will
play host again, either to Ohio
State or James Madison on
Monday.
Its always important to
have the chance to play at
home, said Coach Sylvia
Hatchell in a statement after
the bracket was revealed.
The familiarity for our

players is such an advantage

and then being able to play
in front of our fans is really,
really big.
Last season, when the Tar
Heels opened at home, it was
the crowd that helped propel
them to consecutive singledigit wins against UT Martin
and Michigan State.
The best thing that could
have happened for us is to
play at home in front of our
fans, said junior guard NDea
Bryant. Well take it gameby-game and try to replicate
what we did last year and
hopefully make it one step
further to the Final Four.
The No. 1 seed in North
Carolinas portion of the
bracket is South Carolina,
whom the Tar Heels beat
last season in the Sweet 16
in Stanford, California.
If UNC is able to win its
first two games, the two
teams could rematch in the
Sweet 16 this season, only this
time much closer to home.
Fifty-five minutes to be

I dont know much about Liberty, but we

will soon enough.
Sylvia Hatchell,
North Carolina womens basketball coach

exact thats all it takes

to get from Chapel Hill to
the Greensboro Coliseum,
UNCs potential regional
destination.
It wouldnt be an unfamiliar area for the Tar Heels.
On March 6, UNC made the
drive for the quarterfinals of
the ACC Tournament, a game
it eventually lost 77-75 to
Louisville in overtime.
Now if it can bounce its
first two opponents, the team
will be headed back.
Having a chance to play
in Greensboro down the road
is a bonus, said sophomore
guard Jessica Washington.
But we have work to do
first before thinking about the
Sweet 16.
The first step on the road
to such a rematch is the

Flames, who won the Big

South Tournament to secure
their tournament berth.
Liberty shoots 75 percent
from the free throw line, the
22nd-best mark in the nation.
UNC, on the other hand,
has struggled with adept
foul-shooting teams, as it did
with Louisville in the ACC
Tournament.
But for a team hoping
to go farther than it did
last season Stanford
knocked the Tar Heels out
a game before they reached
the Final Four in 2014
Liberty will be the first challenge standing in the way.
I dont know much about
Liberty, Hatchell said. But
we will soon enough.

Houston Summers starts to ll out cabinet

Student Congress
confirmed 3 of his
cabinet members.
By Victoria Mirian
Staff Writer

The Student Congress Rules

and Judiciary Committee
appointed three members of
Student Body President-elect
Houston Summers executive
board at its meeting Monday.
The committee appointed
Rachel Gogal as vice president, Lee Beckman as trea-

surer and Paige

Waltz as secretary.
Summers picked
the three from a
pool of candidates chosen by
a selection committee.
Gogal is the current
policy chairwoman of
Student Programming and
Outreach. The junior helped
with Chancellor Carol Folts
installation in 2013 and said
she wants to make Folt more
accessible to the student body.
Gogal co-wrote Summers
platform and helped with
debate prep during campaign
season. She said, although

she is familiar with Summers

platform, the two did not
meet until the campaign.
We werent friends going
into it, which I think is
strong. In the past, weve seen
presidents choose their besties, Gogal said.
She said she wants to have
a better relationship with
Student Congress, which has
been at odds with current
Student Body Vice President
Kyle Villemain.
I dont know why in the
past it has been such a struggle, and its sad, Gogal said.
Beckman is a sophomore

business major who worked

with Andrew Powells administration on academic affairs.
Beckman said he shadowed current treasurer
Brittany Best to learn about
the position. He said he has
experience with the Student
Fee Audit Committee, which
examines the fees students
are required to pay each year.
Next year, Beckman wants
to take a look at athletic
and transit fees. The bus
system, he said, is in need of
an update, and Beckman is
looking to the transit fee to
fill the gap.

I have the education and

experiences from (the Student
Fee Audit Committee) that
would directly translate into
becoming a successful student
body treasurer, he said.
Waltz, appointed secretary,
is a first-year masters student
in the School of Government.
She said she is familiar
with day-to-day secretarial
duties from her time in student government at Virginia
Tech, where she earned her
bachelors degree in interior
design and political science.
Last summer, she was a

time here, I kind of think this
student government needs a

Committee will hear from

New policy would make

research more accessible
By Carly Berkenblit
Staff Writer

Research articles published

by UNC faculty might soon
be available to the public if a
proposed change to University
policy is implemented.
Todd Vision and Anne
Gilliland, members of UNCs
Open Access Task Force, presented the details of a modified open access policy to the
Faculty Executive Committee
on Monday afternoon.
The policy would make
scholarly research articles by
university officials free to the
public through the Carolina
Digital Repository (CDR).
Currently, when someone
publishes in a peer-reviewed
journal, the only way it can be
seen is by a subscriber to the
journal. If a non-subscriber
searches for an article, only
the reference is available.
Departments want to
showcase their researchers
research but cant due to
copyright issues, Gilliland
said. The (CDR) could serve
as a great way to show what is
going on at Carolina.
Vision quoted a letter written by UNC history professor
Harry Watson, who noted the
lack of peer-reviewed journal
subscribers.
Faculty Chairman Bruce
Cairns said he would like his
articles to be more accessible.
Right now, if we publish
a paper, we think it is important to the field, Cairns said.
It is very difficult for people
to get access to that.
Cairns said the CDR would
streamline access to articles
published by faculty.
Through the CDR, the
author of the published article
would be able to give both the
University and the journal
copyright at the same time; it
would be non-exclusive. This
agreement preserves the copyright for the writer and will
prevent the University from
profiting from the article.
Cairns said 150 million

people are turned away from

content due to lack of access.
The open access policy is
designed to make it easier for
the public to be able to click
on the papers that we think
matter, Cairns said. We want
our work to be disseminated
as broadly as possible.
The task force will present
before the Faculty Council on
Friday afternoon. Cairns said
he hopes task force members
will be able to answer any
questions or concerns the

Faculty Council has.

The task force amended
the original policy drafted
in December in response to
concerns raised by the Faculty
Executive Committee.
The changes include the
option for the University to
allow researchers to opt out of
the public access plan.

the average poet.
Instead of using a pen
and paper, he uses Twitter,
YouTube and Tumblr.
Junior Ishmael Bishop, an
English major and columnist
for The Daily Tar Heel, reached
out to the poet in the hopes of
getting him to visit campus,
which he will be doing tonight.
One night on Twitter he
tweeted his tour dates and
said, If you want to meet me
let me know, Bishop said, I
replied, LOL come to UNC,
and he said, Why not!
Bishop, who was introduced to Roggenbucks work
by a friend, is excited to meet
the artist because it will give
him the opportunity to ask
questions and understand his
work more.
I know him through his
poetry, which is a completely
different person from the
person you meet in real life,
he said. The person you meet
in real life has stories and
baggage that you cant know
through poetry.
Roggenbucks work isnt
limited to videos hes written four poetry collections that
simultaneously explore academia, creativity and politics.
To Bishop, hes eclectic.
I use that word because
he creates this idea of sound
poetry, he said. He is redefining what being a poet means.
While on-campus poetry
groups like Ebony Readers/
Onyx Theater (EROT),
The Rejects and the UNC
Wordsmiths perform their
work on stage, Roggenbuck
takes it to alternative settings.
In one of Roggenbucks most
popular videos, make something beautiful before you are
dead, Roggenbuck performs in
a field, forest and bedroom.
For freshman biology
major Brenna Jackson, the
most beautiful part of the
video is the structure.
Its fast-paced tempo fluttered with disconnected ideas
and intense emotions practically assaults the audience,
she said. Yet his intense
delivery serves to boost ones
motivation.
Jackson isnt alone in admir-

ing Roggenbucks work. Emma

Holcomb, a freshman public
health major, saw Roggenbuck
perform in Michigan over her
winter break.
It feels like youre just talking to him, Holcomb said.
Hes a really great performer.
Holcomb said during the
performance, Roggenbuck
made a video and asked the
audience to throw things at
him so viewers would think
he had a really bad reading.
Sometimes Im not sure
theres a certain way to
approach his work, its not to

find meaning in it but going

back and finding the purpose
of the absurdity, he said.
Myles Robinson, a junior
communication studies
major, believes that hosting
artists like Roggenbuck on
campus is a valuable trait
of UNCs culture. Robinson
is particularly attracted to
Roggenbucks authenticity.
I have a fascination with
dream chasers, he said. To
me, Stevens story screams
originality and freedom.

Technology.
I have not heard
anybody be critical
that the work we do
here should not be freely open
to the public because we are a
public university, Cairns said.
The task force presents
before the Faculty Council
on Friday, and the council
will then vote to determine
whether they will implement
the policy in April.

FEATURED ONLINE READER COMMENT

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR

Dear
BOG:
show,
dont tell

COLOR COMMENTARY
Ishmael Bishop returns to
discuss race issues this week.

I read an article they wrote about cargo

shorts. It was like, Dont wear them, theyre
terrible, and I was like, Yes, yeah, thank you.

Outside Looking In, on the ongoing athletic-academic scandal

Sophomore womens and gender

studies major from Charlotte.
Email: awwilder@live.unc.edu

QUOTE OF THE DAY

The Carolina Way isnt dead, its just

become synonymous with cheat and deceit. I
know thats not what you all want to hear

Alice Wilder

ts a simple lesson taught

in most introductory
writing classes: Show,
dont tell. I remember my fifth
grade teacher explaining it to
us: If two characters are angry
at each other, dont write, He
was mad at her. Describe cold
glares or one character rolling
her eyes at another.
Its a pretty easy lesson to
understand, but more difficult to put into practice.
Members of the UNC Board of
Governors probably learned it
in grade school, but a review is
clearly needed.
In an op-ed for The
Charlotte Observer published Wednesday, Board of
Governors Chairman John C.
Fennebresque said he and the
rest of the BOG are committed
to ensuring that the UNC system is the best public university system in America.
He goes on to say that the
BOGs recommendation that the
poverty center be closed doesnt
change its commitment to battling poverty in North Carolina.
Let me emphasize the board
strongly believes reducing poverty is a crucial need in North
Carolina, he wrote. We believe
the University must remain
actively engaged in creating jobs
and opportunity for everyone.
I want to remind John of
another lesson one most of
us learned in math class. Show
your work. I remember that
rule distinctly it was frequently scrawled in red on my
homework assignments.
Saying you want to ensure
the UNC system remains among
the best in the country is easy.
But actually showing you believe
that the UNC system should be
protected and nurtured takes
courage. Showing that you care
about public, financially accessible education takes compromise. Showing that you care
about more than just profits
requires proof that youve taken
seriously the concerns of students, faculty and staff.
And then theres the inexplicable closing of the Center on
Poverty, Work and Opportunity
not to mention Tom Ross
shady sacking. The BOG
knows that folks all across the
UNC system are angry, and
Fennebresque is responding by
telling us the BOG agrees that
reducing poverty is a crucial
need for our state.
John, I dont believe you.
And Im not the only one.
Prove it to us, John. Show us.
Because we havent seen any
BOG members showing care
for the many impoverished
people in North Carolina.
Weve seen our tuition soar,
seen centers we love scrutinized. Weve seen professors
kicked out of public meetings
for speaking their minds. Weve
seen systematic attacks on
people of color, and weve seen
need-based aid capped. Weve
seen our own governor publicly
insult UNCs journalism and
womens studies programs.
If the BOG and other state
leaders want to show they
care about public education in
North Carolina, they should
show their work. They should
give students a voice on the
BOG. They should stop raising
tuition and keep the system
accessible to more than the
most wealthy in our state.
Fennebresques op-ed for
the Observer doesnt get a gold
star. Consider this column a
comment in red pen: Show
me, dont tell me.

The Daily Tar Heel

Net neutrality does

not favor consumers

EDITORIAL

Desperate times indeed

Preemptive
closures show BOGs
plan is working.

tarting next semester, students at

North Carolina State
University who wish to
pursue the former Africana
studies or womens and
gender studies majors will
instead work toward a
degree in Interdisciplinary
Studies, where the two old
majors will now be concentration options.
While this is preferable
to these courses of study
being eliminated altogether, it is worrying that students dedicated to studying diversity will have less

visibility and institutional

distinction when more
is clearly needed. The
absorption of these two
areas of study could very
well discourage students
from exploring them.
Jeff Braden, Dean of
N.C. States College of
Humanities and Social
Sciences, told N.C. States
student newspaper, The
Technician, that consolidation was meant to shield
the disciplines from the
UNC Board of Governors,
which recently shut down
three academic centers
across the system.
According to The
Technician, additional factors prompted the decision,
including low enrollments

totaling only 44 graduates in Africana Studies

over the past 8 years and
the fact that the schools
only full-time professor in
that department is moving
toward retirement.
The implications of
this decision, as well as its
apparent motivation, are
cause for concern. If system
universities arent willing
to fight for these types of
programs out of fear of the
Board of Governors, how
many more centers and
majors could be lost?
It would be prudent for
other schools with similar
programs to proactively
consider solutions that will
prevent further consolidations or even shutdowns.

EDITORIAL

Foxes and henhouses

Legislators cannot
be trusted to draw
fair districts.

n a healthy
Democratic system,
it is the voters who
choose their politicians.
But in North Carolina,
the self-serving process of
gerrymandering seriously
dilutes the value of citizens
votes and should be overhauled immediately.
Despite the relative
competitiveness of its
national elections, races
for North Carolinas state
legislature resemble those
of a plutocratic state.

Districts are drawn by

legislators themselves,
who are essentially able to
choose their voters.
Historically, gerrymandering has been abused
by Democrats in North
Carolina. Now, Republicans
have drawn districts in such
a way that even when they
receive 55 percent of the
statewide vote, the party
retains more than 75 percent of the seats, as it did in
the 2014 election.
The Carolina Journal
noted early last year that
86 of 120 house candidates would run unopposed. Should a democracy have the opportunity

to elect only 28 percent of

its state representatives?
Fortunately, legislation has been introduced
to remodel how North
Carolina redistricts: one
emulating Iowas nonpartisan, staff-drawn system,
and another which would
appoint an independent
commission.
Senate Republican
leadership is hesitant to
introduce either because,
they say, no non-legislative
body could be trusted to
be non-partisan.
But in the words of N.C.
Sen. Jeff Jackson, anything is better than what
we have now.

what the temps are on every

So maybe you didnt go
to Belize or New York City
or NASCAR Speedpark, but
that doesnt mean your break
isnt worth talking up.
It might be hard, however,
for your friends to grasp the
essence of what you accomplished while they were hotdogs-or-legs-ing, so try to find
hometown equivalences for
their far-flung experiences.

TO THE EDITOR:
The Daily Tar Heel editorial from Feb. 27 on the
Federal Communications
Commissions recent
power grab further
cements the publications
reputation as a blatantly
partisan mouthpiece.
Views opposing net neutrality were never once
mentioned.
Considering that the FCC
has refused to testify before
Congress about its plans
or to release its proposed
regulations to the public,
the fact that the FCC justifies its actions as defending
openness is quite ironic
and exemplifies the smug
arrogance and hypocrisy of
D.C.s bureaucratic class.
Anyone who thinks the
FCC will ensure an open
internet ought be reminded
that this is the same
bureaucracy that censors
television content.
The FCC rules will mean
that provision of internet
service will cater to the
whims of bureaucrats and
regulators, rather than consumers and market demand.
Because internet infrastructure is scarce, there can
be no neutral allocation
of broadband. Regarding
fast lanes, the analogy of
grocery store shelf space is
apt: less demanded goods
like canned preserves are
still sold, but they are not
displayed as prominently
as goods more heavily
demanded by consumers.
Would grocery stores
be more fair or neutral if
the government mandated
that less demanded items
like ramen noodles be given
equally lucrative shelf space
as popular items like beer
or produce? The relatively
free market in information
technology has produced an
explosion of innovation and
improvements in the last
few decades, lowering prices
and increasing access. It
can only be hoped that this
progress will not be quashed
by government malfeasance.

DTH misrepresented
Islamophobia talk
TO THE EDITOR:
While I was initially
pleased to see The Daily
Tar Heel providing coverage of my recent teach-in
on Islamophobia, I do feel
that the March 6 article,
Islamophobia talk kicks off
Muslim students lecture
series misrepresented the
content of my lecture and
our discussion that followed.
The article claims that
in my opinion, prejudice
against Islam is a relatively
modern phenomenon. In
my talk, I said nothing of
the sort. Rather, I clarified
that when I specifically used
the term, Islamophobia,
I was not discussing all
anti-Muslim prejudice as it
appears throughout history
but instead referring to a
particular set of discourses

and networks that have

become increasingly mainstream and institutionally
supported in recent years.
I do find it somewhat
unsettling that the key points
of the DTHs recap seemed
to marginalize the present
urgency of Islamophobia.
From the articles treatment, one would interpret
my key points as follows: 1) Islamophobia is
a recent phenomenon; 2)
the diagnostical language
of phobia may be inadequate for describing antiMuslim prejudice; and 3)
I expressed optimism that
Islamophobias prominence
in the media has peaked and
started to decline.
While I did express hope
regarding the future of
American Muslims, I also
gave credence to the suggestion that the next decade
will be worse than the previous one; the article did not
recognize this crucial point.
Furthermore, the enormous
power and influence of
Islamophobic networks and
discourses, a key theme of
the discussion, went virtually ignored in the DTH treatment of the event. The role
of governmental institutions
in Islamophobia went unacknowledged in the article,
though this factored significantly in our discussion.
In my lecture, I attempted
to provide a nuanced discussion of contemporary
Islamophobia. I also attributed Islamophobias success
in part to popular medias
inability to handle nuance.
Unfortunately, it appears the
DTH made my point for me.

Instructors wages
should be a priority
TO THE EDITOR:
Feb. 27, the UNC Board
of Governors approved a
4.3 percent tuition hike
across UNC campuses and
attempted to close important research centers. While
raises for faculty are welcome, the message is clear.
The University, a public
good, a space of independent
inquiry, an incubator for the
next generation of engaged
citizens, is under attack.
The Board of Governors
doesnt need more tuition
to pay instructors fairly.
Instead, it should re-prioritize teaching and learning
system-wide by dedicating a
higher percentage of funds
to instruction. As a teaching assistant, I am part of a
group of employees working
for an unlivable wage.
In fact, I received food
stamps until I could find
extra part-time work in addition to my teaching, coursework and research. My story
isnt unique. More than
100 faculty and students
gathered at Wilson Library
on Feb. 25 to protest UNCs
low pay rate. We must have
the courage to stand against
attacks on our public institutions. We must reinvest in
the workers struggling to
make ends meet who make
UNC great.
