Process could save UNC
$100,000 in mailing costs
By Steven Norton
Assistant University Editor
Starting in July, students will find bills from UNC
not in their mailboxes but in their inboxes.
In an attempt to cut postage costs and create
a more integrated administrative system, student
bills for fall 2010 will only be available electronically
through ConnectCarolina, not mailed home.
The switch could save the cashier’s office about
$100,000 in annual costs, money that could be used
to create office positions that could more directly
interact with students.
But while electronic communication could save
33% money, it remains to be seen whether the information
will be communicated to the person paying the bills.

stronger advocate best solution for EMS
By Rebecca Putterman
Senior Writer
Finding work and getting paid
for it has been an unending strug-
gle for the day laborers of Carrboro.
And relief, whether in the form of
policy or advocacy, is not on the
immediate horizon.
Operating as a job-search
resource, El Centro Latino, the
Latino community’s chief advocate
that closed in November, has been
sorely missed by workers, policy-
makers and advocates alike.
Now, as the community awaits
the delayed opening of El Centro
Hispano, the Durham-based Latino
center that was scheduled to open
April 1, the conversation on how to
assist day laborers has been stalled.
The Carrboro Board of Aldermen
began researching how to craft an
ordinance to criminalize wage theft
earlier this year. The board also has
begun looking into the possibility of
founding a day labor center.
But the lack of a Latino commu-
nity advocate has seriously delayed
the process, day laborers and gov-
ernment officials agree.
In need of a center
A day laborer who works in car-
pentry, Bernardo Morales works
on a day-to-day basis.
Chasing trucks at the corner of
Jones Ferry Road and Davie Road
hasn’t been easy, he said.
“We need a work center where
there are bathrooms, where we can
wait. Somewhere that employers can
register and workers can list their
skills,” Morales said in Spanish.
Rafael Gallegos, associate direc-
tor of the Chapel Hill & Carrboro
Human Rights Center, which pro-
vides some resources for day labor-
ers, said selling a skill set on the
corner has its difficulties.
“There’s not a whole lot of nego-
tiation that goes on once they stop,
because it’s just too overwhelming,”
he said, adding that it isn’t beneficial
to day laborers with specific skills.
“The way they see this job is
entrepreneurial. You are what you
know,” he said.
While the corner is well known to
a distinct few employers, Morales’
roommate, Efren Cisneros, said he
worries that new businesses might
be repelled by a corner culture they
don’t know.
“It’s dangerous for us and for the
employers,” Cisneros said, referring
to how workers rush the trucks,
jockeying to earn a day’s wages.
At the same time, the corner
evolved for a reason, and moving
it could have unintended conse-
quences, Gallegos said.
“Businesses know it’s here, and
that’s why when we talk about the
day labor center, we sort of stalled,”
he said. “We wanted to relocate
them but it’s hard to move cause
this is so well known.”
Nonprofits lead efforts
Formal day labor centers sup-
ported by local governments only
began cropping up in the last 20
years, starting in California, said
Abel Valenzuela, who researches
day labor at UCLA and spoke at
UNC in March.
“Most communities ignore day
laborers, at least in terms of doing
something about it,” he said.
Valenzuela said he counted 1,100

NO FUNNY BUSINESS
Hohn teaches students to improvise in life
by katelyn trela
staff Writer
With improvisation, there are no plans.
Greg Hohn, a business school adjunct
lecturer, never planned on becoming an
improvisation artist.
He graduated with a degree in English from
UNC in 1985 and worked four years in jour-
nalism before auditioning for the Transactors,
the improv group he now leads.
By trial and error, Hohn began to develop
the concept of applying improvisation to
real life. For the past 10 years, he’s taken
this skill to the classroom, teaching students
how to apply improv to their careers.
His style of improv isn’t meant as enter-
tainment but forces students to make con-
versation without any preparation.
Hohn said he took the class activities with
the most depth and put them together to cre-
ate the course, which now evolves constantly.
“The applied improv curriculum that I
teach comes out of my experiences,” he said.
“My students told me that they were using
what they learned in class in outside situations,
and I started thinking, that makes sense.”
Hohn was asked by the business school
dean, Jim Dean, to teach the class 10 years
ago as a part of the business communications
program at UNC’s Kenan-Flagler Business
School. The school was looking for an inno-
vative curriculum, and Hohn agreed.
The course, taught at UNC and Duke
University, relies on the fast-paced, on-the-
spot thinking that defines improvisation.
By applying these concepts to business, the
class helps students to think on their feet.
Jeff Cornell, associate chairman of the
dramatic art department, said improvisa-
tion creates honest response in people.
“It demands there be an awareness of
what’s happening and a response to the cir-
cumstance,” Cornell said. “In that sense, it
demands authenticity and truth, hopefully
some wit, but at the core, authentic-ness.”
The comedic improvisation most students
are familiar with, by groups like CHiPS, is
different than improvisation used in Hohn’s
teaching, Cornell said.
“It involves similar skills, but in an acting
class, improv tests relationships,” Cornell
explained. “It’s not for entertainment; it’s a
rehearsal — a tool used for investigating.”
Hohn teaches the improvisation skills he
learned in the theater.
“One of the first things I tell students is just
to come in and try to be honest,” Hohn said.
“Don’t worry about being funny or clever or
anything like that. If you just be yourself, you
can be funny or clever.”

Unless one candidate receives
at least 40 percent of the vote,
Cunningham and Marshall will be
forced into a runoff.
“A lot of people are anticipat-
ing a runoff,” Guillory said. “A lot
depends on how strongly Lewis
finishes.”
But with 34 percent of likely
Democratic voters undecided, a lot
could change in the week preced-
ing the election.
Guillory said he anticipated low
voter turnout due to the low visibil-
ity of this particular primary.
While Marshall has significant
name recognition in North Carolina
due to her long career in state poli-
tics, Cunningham is preferred by

because they feel he has the best
chance of defeating Burr, Guillory
said.
But all the candidates have strug-
gled to establish their brands.
“There wasn’t a lot of issue dif-
ferentiation in this race,” Ingalls
said.
Marshall has said she opposes
a troop surge in the Iraq war, and
Cunningham has emphasized his
military background.
Lewis has positioned himself

Washington, Ingalls said.
But Cunningham currently leads
among black voters, a fact Guillory
attributes to inroads made with his
television ads.
Cunningham also leads among
conservative Democrats, voters less
than 30 and voters in the Triad and
eastern North Carolina, according
to polling information.
“As a recent alum of UNC-
Chapel Hill, young voters are espe-
cially important to this campaign,”
Cunningham wrote in an e-mail.
In contrast, Marshall leads
among liberal Democrats, voters
older than 65 and voters in the
Triangle and mountains.
“Democrats love Elaine,” said
Marshall’s campaign manager,
A.J. Carrillo, adding that she is
especially popular among longtime
Democrats.
Lewis appeals to the real activist
base of the party, Ingalls said.
Sam Swartz, a spokesman for
the Lewis campaign, said Lewis

and black voters.

By Emma Witman
Staff Writer
Standing in his front yard, Adam
Meyer looked on as the silver
wrapper of the strawberry Pop-
Tarts he’d just eaten floated away.
This seemingly insignificant act
of littering was the moment when
Meyer, 6 years old and consumed
with guilt for his action, said it
would never happen again.
Not only has Meyer not littered
since then, but he has also become
a young environmental activist.
He is a recipient of the presti-

Sophomore Adam Meyer spent much of his childhood playing outdoors. Now Meyer has turned that youthful and a sophomore environmental
vigor into a dedication for environmental causes — and a staunch refusal to ever drop a piece of litter again. science major at UNC.
And as co-coordinator of UNC’s
sustainability living-learning com-
munity, Meyer has been one of the
principle organizers of environ-
mental activism at UNC and in the
community.
While he said the learning com-
munity itself is more an “academ-
ic approach,” he has practically
applied his passion through his
leadership for the group’s year-
long work with HOPE Gardens,
a community garden north of
campus that also provides a tran-
sitional employment program for
the homeless.
For Meyer, saving trees, reduc-
ing carbon dioxide emissions and
improving water and air qual-
ity began with a simple childhood
enthusiasm for nature.
“I always felt a connection to
the environment and being out-
doors,” he said. “My parents used

adam meyer, sophomore environmental science major
to have to pull me inside, kicking
and screaming.”
Enthusiasm became activism.
So while other 11-year-olds were
playing video games, riding their
bikes and watching TV, Meyer
was taking water-quality tests and
calling the N.C. Department of
Transportation with his environ-
mental concerns.
In addition to being president
of his high school’s environmen-
tal club, Meyer won a prestigious
International Young Eco-Hero
Award for activists by the time he
was 15 and just a sophomore.
The award was in recogni-
tion of $8,000 he raised for local,
state and nonprofit environmental
groups. He made the money by
selling homemade calendars and
note cards with images from the
outdoors.
While he could have been
brushed off as the typical over-
achiever, Meyer was well-liked by
his classmates.
“Adam was always so hum-
ble,” said high school and UNC
classmate Ali Parascandola. “His
accomplishments never made you
feel bad. He made you want to
work harder.”
After completing his first year
at UNC, Meyer traveled to Costa
Rica with the goal of building
compost bins for coffee pulp. But
officials with the Morehead-Cain
Foundation said Meyer should
dedicate more of his service work-
ing directly with the people. He
would go on to teach English to
poor Costa Rican youth instead.
The trip’s fundamental purpose
changed course, and in the process,
changed his life.
“I realized I wasn’t just helping
them,” he said. “They were helping
me.”
But beyond the bonds formed,
the trip had a tangible impact on
Meyer’s future goals.
“When I was in Costa Rica, it
really broadened my perspective,
and I realized city planning com-
bines my interests: people and the
environment,” Meyer said.
His interest in city planning will
soon become an integral part of his
role as an environmental leader at
UNC. Meyer will lead student gov-
ernment’s capital projects com-
mittee next year as it examines the
environmental impact of various
campus projects such as the South
Road bridge plan and the Wendy’s
in the Student Union.
Meyer’s commitment since that
first heinous act of littering has
proven that even former litterbugs
can change dramatically.
“He’s very articulate but very
thoughtful, and that’s going to
make him a phenomenal planner
one day,” said Rachel Willis, one of
Meyer’s professors.

Atwater takes plea,

accepts life in prison
One of the two men charged with killing former Student
Body President Eve Carson pleaded guilty in federal court
this month in exchange for life in prison.
The plea from Demario James Atwater, 23, ended a long
legal battle in federal court during which his defense attor-
neys alleged that he was beaten by police and that the jury
pool in North Carolina was too biased to consider the case.
It also helped bring the first sense of a resolution in the
two years since Carson was found shot to death March 5,
2008, in a neighborhood off East Franklin Street.
“Nothing is going to make us feel better about what
happened,” Chancellor Holden Thorp said after Atwater
accepted the plea deal.
“It’s a tragic loss. If this gets us to the end of the whole
thing more quickly and more easily, then I am very grate-
ful for that.” dth file/phong dinh

Popular P2P driver to write book
Stories of craziness seen on shuttles
By Lindsay Ruebens
Staff Writer
He’s the young one that does the
lights and the music. The fun bus
driver.
He’s Benjy Downing, and after
driving the P2P, or Point-to-Point
Shuttle, since the summer of 2007,
he’s a changed man.
The P2P runs from 7 p.m. to 3
a.m., transporting often-inebriated
students all over campus.
As the interesting stories of
a P2P driver have tallied up for
Downing, he has decided to write
a book about his experiences.
“People would get on the bus
and would say, ‘Remember this?’
and no, I’d forget,” Downing said.
So he started keeping a journal
of funny things that happened on
��������������
����
���
�����
his nightly cruises around campus.
Soon enough, Downing noticed
categories of stories forming that
he would document.
“Throw-up stories, fight stories,
two girls fighting, makeout stories,
what do you want to hear?” he said
with a grin. “They became chap-
ters.”
One of the chapters is titled,
“Losing Your Qdoba.”
Downing is planning to call
his book “Halos Hangin’ on
Horns: What Happens When
Momma and Daddy’s Angels Go
to School.” He said the title was
inspired by something his father,
a Pentecostal preacher, used to
say about him.
His job as P2P driver, like his
book, is also rooted in his past.

University
When Downing was a junior in
high school in Morehead City, his
best friend died in a drunken driv-
ing accident. Downing said he felt
he needed to do something to make
sure other people he cared about
wouldn’t get hurt — but his first
roadblock was his 11 p.m. curfew.
“I asked my parents, ‘If I have
friends who are drinking and driv-
ing, can I just go and pick them up
instead?’” he said.
His parents agreed, and for
the rest of his high school years,
Downing would go out at all hours
of the night to pick up friends from
parties who needed a ride home.
“I started my own P2P basically
in high school without even know-
ing it,” Downing said.
He attended Campbell University,
and even though it’s meant to be an
alcohol-free campus, he continued
to help his friends home at night.
But college changed everything for
Downing. At age 19, he had a child
and got married.
Now, Downing teaches science
full time at Jordan High School in
Durham and has almost completed
his master’s in administration from
UNC. He hopes to be a principal.
In addition to teaching, Downing
is also the coach of the girls’ volley-
ball team and the boys’ golf team —
a convenience, since coaches need
the same license as P2P drivers.
Downing drives Friday through

Sunday and said he tries to make
the ride enjoyable for students.
“I asked myself, ‘What can make
that more fun?’ Lights, getting a
radio to make the music louder,
get on the mic and make jokes and
tell stories, and lots of times people
start playing games.”
Downing said he will try to keep
the book as anonymous as possible
by not using students’ full names.
Alex Phillips, a sophomore who
had Downing as his golf coach in
high school, said he thought the
book was a good idea.
“With today’s culture, it seems
everyone wants an insider’s view of
stuff,” Phillips said. “It’s really kind
of neat, and I think people will find
it interesting. I bet he’s got a lot of
good stories; he’s like a bartender.”
Downing said he has written
about 100 pages and that he’ll finish
writing this summer with hopes to
publish in the fall. One of his former
students is now a publisher and has
agreed to publish his book.
“I’m not trying to get a bunch of
money. I just want a written record
for myself,” Downing said.

The Daily Tar Heel
Established 1893,
117 years
of editorial freedom
Andrew Dunn
Editor-in-chief
Dunn is a senior journalism major
from Apex.
E-mail: amdunn@email.unc.edu
I’ve loved
getting to
know you
this year
T
oday, I become an editor
emeritus of The Daily Tar
Heel. Or at least I’ll go
with that title. It sounds a lot
cooler than “former,” right?
I’m ending a journey that
began four years ago, when I
came to campus with not a whole
lot more than a map, a national
championship T-shirt and a
goofy OneCard picture.
By the grace of God, that map
led me into the DTH office.
Of course, I have the obligato-
ry wonderful memories as a bas-
ketball fan. I’ll never forget every
floor of Morrison Residence Hall
exploding after Wayne Ellington
hit a 3-pointer to beat Clemson
in overtime. Or beating Duke
in 2007 and rushing Franklin
Street — but making sure to stop
and bear hug the Davie Poplar on
the way.
But even more important than
that, through my work here I’ve
had the honor of getting to know
the people who make up UNC
— and they are what make this
place special.
They’re people like John
Sanders, who has spent about
half a century serving UNC and
the state, from playing a key role
in drafting the state Constitution
to advising generations of chan-
cellors. The man has a building
on campus named after him, but
he says his main joy is to spend
time with students.
They’re the brilliant scien-
tists and educators who give a
UNC diploma the value it has.
People like chemistry profes-
sor Joe DeSimone, who is doing
biomedical research that could
revolutionize how we treat can-
cer. And history professor Jim
Leloudis, whose lectures on N.C.
history captivated me more than
any I’ve heard.
And they’re people like you
and me — the ones who study
and protest and sweat and work
late into the night.
Sure, I can take pride that as
editor-in-chief this year, I’ve man-
aged to produce nearly 150 issues.
But that’s not even close to
being my favorite part of the job.
I’ve loved learning how you
read the DTH and talking about
what you think about our cover-
age and what you’re looking for
in our pages.
And I have loved working with
the staff of the DTH. They make
this paper, not me. And they will
continue to do great things next
year.
In the first issue of this school
year, I made a lot of promises.
I said we would keep you
informed and hold your leaders
accountable, dedicating ourselves
to finding the stories behind the
big issues.
Overall, I think we’ve done
a pretty good job of that. We’ve
taken you behind the University’s
review of the Greek system,
the development of University
Square, the search for a new pro-
vost and money woes in Orange
County’s emergency services
department — among many,
many others throughout the year.
I also pledged that the DTH
would be a responsive member of
the community and not a walled
fortress.
I’ve tried hard to make this
a reality. I failed at creating the
Community Feedback Board. I
didn’t spend enough time recruit-
ing and trying to get people
involved. But to make up for
that, I have tried extremely hard
to make sure people felt like my
door was always open to come
talk to me about their concerns.
No, we haven’t been perfect.
But just like all of you, I feel
we’ve made this campus a better
place.
And I can’t wait to see what’s
next.

One word: quality
The University most focus on maintaining academic
quality to preserve the value of a UNC diploma
A
s the school year comes
to a close and planning
begins for the next one,
administrators at the University
must keep academic quality on
the top of their agenda.
With budget cuts — and more
are coming, by the way — the
task of keeping the University
a top-of-the-line institution
doesn’t look like one to envy.
But that can’t be used as an
excuse. In order to preserve the
value of a UNC degree, admin-
istrators must make academic
rigor a priority.
The mission must begin
with recruiting and retaining
quality faculty.
Teachers are the bread and
butter of the academic experi-
ence and need to be given top
priority.
Efforts like the $5.5 million
program to recruit and retain
young faculty members are

E
nough is enough. The
UNC system can’t take

to its academics.
Gov. Bev Perdue’s recent
budget proposal has another

UNC system on top of the
$162.5 million cut from the
2009-10 budget and $52 mil-
lion in the 2010-11 budget.

And while the budget situ-
ation is less than ideal, UNC
is still much better off than a
lot of its peer institutions. The
University has the opportunity
to really make its mark in hir-
ing the brightest Ph.D. stu-
dents coming out of graduate
schools this year.
Grade inflation is another
issue the University must tack-
le in the coming years.
Faculty members made head-
way when they approved a pro-
posal to put grade distributions
onto students’ transcripts.
But the University still can
do more.
As it implements the pro-
posal, UNC must also encour-
age peer institutions to adopt
similar measures to ensure
that graduating UNC students
are not left at a disadvantage
when applying for employment
make creative cuts that don’t
hurt UNC schools’ academics
when they reconvene in May
to write their budget.
UNC-sys tem President
Erskine Bowles is claiming
that Perdue’s cuts would go
too deep. For example, Bowles
said UNC-system schools
would have to cut faculty jobs
— about 600 from the sys-
tem.
Those figures may or may
not be scare tactics. But Bowles
has a point.
Cutting faculty jobs will
harm the UNC system. That
course of action needs to be
completely off the table.
The fact is that the UNC sys-
tem is still growing — Perdue
even allocated $5.6 million
in her budget to enrollment
growth. They’re expecting

or graduate programs.
And once campus enter-
tains a more broad discussion
of grade inflation, more mean-
ingful actions against it can be
pursued.
A third step toward main-
taining academic quality is
bolstering programs that allow
undergraduates to take the ini-
tiative with their education.
For example, the Johnston
Center for Undergraduate
Excellence provides many
research opportunities of which
students can take advantage.
These types of programs
should become a more integral
part of a UNC education.
It’s important the University
does not lose sight of its core
purpose: to teach and educate
North Carolina’s workforce.
With that in mind, the
University must keep academic
quality a top priority.
UNC’s numbers to increase.
And if the number of faculty
doesn’t at least stay stable, it
will irreparably harm students’
education.
Yes, faculty can always be
rehired when the state gets its
hands on more money. But stu-
dents can’t be re-educated, and
they’re only in college once.
Legislators can feel free to
cut administrative salaries and
positions, construction bud-
gets, luxury services — basi-
cally anything but academics
and the faculty that have given
the UNC system such a won-
derful name.
Recessions hurt. But they’re
opportunities to get leaner.
There’s still a lot of fat to be cut
from the UNC system, but fac-
ulty are the vital organs. They
need to be left alone.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Walk out protesters did
not make their case well
TO THE EDITOR:
The decision of many to leave in
the middle of the speech by former
U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo last night
was, first, disrespectful. In addi-
tion, buying up tickets merely to
walk out on a speaker is not demo-
cratic in any shape or form.
There is nothing wrong with
holding protest signs or staying
to question Tancredo in the ses-
sion that was held at the end (not
that any of them would know),
but just discounting a speaker
with different views than your
own is wrong.
In addition, the protesters
should have made it clear exact-
ly the reason they were walking
out. In this way, they would be
effectively championing their
cause, instead of making them-
selves look intolerant.
A university campus is a place
where all ideas and opinions
should be shared and debated.
It was clear that for some, lis-
tening to a congressman with a
differing opinion was too much
to handle, and so they promptly
left to go “party” in the Pit. Their
attempt at making a political
statement against Tancredo
failed, and the only people, in
the end, that looked bad were
themselves.

Small number of views
represented in OS1 article
TO THE EDITOR:
Today I read your article on
the OS1 cleaning system and I
felt compelled to respond (“New
operating system debated for
UNC housekeepers,” April 27). My
concern is that the small number
of individuals who have not been
using the new method of cleaning
are representing all of us.
The truth is there is a number
of us who love what we now do.
It has proven to be easier on us
in a number of ways.
One, it has relieved us from
doing everything alone. Now we
have a team working together for
a common goal. Now we have a
group helping each other and
taking ownership of the building
as a whole. Also, our equipment
is lighter and designed to keep us
from bending or getting on our
knees. The products are green-
friendly and safer for us, our cus-
tomers and our environment.
We also have opportunities
for advancement we didn’t have
before. Are there things that
need tweaking? Sure, but keep
in mind that we are the first in
the nation to try this in a dorm
situation.
And also keep in mind that
the same problems and concerns
being spoken on by a few were
occurring in zone cleaning. Some
of the worst mold I’ve ever seen
was when we were all doing zone
cleaning.
There are a lot of positive
things about OS1. Too numerous
to speak on in this one letter. We
would just like to say don’t let the
voices of a few speak for us all.
We are happy and grateful for
the things this new style of clean-
ing has created. Not only for us,
but for our customers. You the
students.

sites where day laborers gather in
the United States. Only 65 of them
are formal worker centers. Most
are run by nonprofits.
In Graton, Calif., community
members came together to organize
a similar day labor “catch-all” corner
into a non-profit workers’ center.
“It was a long, arduous process. A
year long of consensus building,” said
Christina Zapata, project coordina-
tor of the Graton Day Labor Center.
The center, which is run most-
ly by volunteers on a budget of
$245,000, was founded in collabo-
ration with the town government.
Carrboro officials are also count-
ing on a nonprofit to provide a day
labor center, and the loss of El Centro
Latino has prolonged that process.
“We’re back to square one,”
said Alderman Randee Haven-
O’Donnell.
Aldermen are looking to El Centro
Hispano to fill revitalize the debate
for a potential center.
El Centro Hispano has been try-
ing to move into a space in Carrboro
Plaza on N.C. 54 West, a convenient
location for a day labor center, as
employers need to get on the high-
way quickly, Haven-O’Donnell said.
And while not currently tar-
geting day laborers specifically,
depending on Orange County’s
needs, El Centro Hispano’s resourc-
es office could be expanded to assist
them, said Executive Director Pilar
Rocha-Goldberg.
“Of course (day labor) is some-
thing we need to look at,” Rocha-
Goldberg said. “And after we learn
more about it, we can take away …
how is the best way to approach it.”
Legal questions arise
Before El Centro Latino closed,
its staff was involved in finding solu-
tions to the issues at the corner.
A lack of shelter, bathrooms and
water fountains, and a lack of regula-
tion contributing to wage theft have
been pegged as human rights issues
by Gallegos and Haven-O’Donnell.
Emilio Arceo, a day laborer who
waits for work on the corner to sup-
port his wife and child in Mexico,
has experienced what policymakers
call wage theft.
Wage theft occurs when an
employer hires day laborers and
drops them off at the end of the day
with a promise to pay them later,
but never does.
“Mostly, they pay us. But lots of
people, they’ll say, ‘Tomorrow I’ll
pay you. Oh, I’ll pay you the next

a joke now,” she said.
Still, the school system is looking
at the incidents as an inspiration to
improve safety at Chapel Hill High.
One way could be to look at the
root causes.
School resource officer Gary
Beneville said students could be
bringing weapons to campus as a
result of bullying that takes place
online on sites such as Facebook
and Twitter, which he says is
increasing in frequency and sever-
ity. Those arguments could carry
over to campus, he said.
“There’s such an ease with which
people can say things behind the
Using what’s available
If Orange County EMS isn’t given
the requested funding, few agree on
what the best solution might be.
Possible changes include tweak-
ing the way ambulances are sta-
tioned and dispatched and making
better use of volunteer or part-time
EMS workers.
Montes de Oca said EMS has
already begun to decentralize its
resources so paramedics can reach
rural areas faster. It’s usually these
calls that increase average response
times. Otherwise, once a paramedic
is in town, he or she can be almost
anywhere in two minutes, he said.
Some think EMS should rein-
state the Initial Response Vehicles
system, which created an award-
winning system in 1999.
The IRV system dispatched a
paramedic in a car to 911 calls first.
That paramedic could then make the
decision whether a transport vehicle,
like an ambulance, was necessary.
Montes de Oca disbanded the
IRV system when he took over.
“The IRV paramedic drove to
every call. It doubled their work-
load and it was costly,” he said.
“The IRV system takes a tremen-
dous amount of resources.”
But since the IRV system was
“It could potentially lead to
problems with tuition for students
who neglect their e-mail,” she said.
“But it could serve as good prepa-
ration for dealing with financial
obligations in the future.”
Still, administrators see it as a
positive change.
“We’re expecting students to
be responsible adults, and this is
another one of those ways in which
they’ll have to do that,” Beller said.
“They’ll have to make the system
work for them.”

The Daily Tar Heel
Michael Morin pitched for a career-high five shutout innings in North Carolina’s 6-2 win against High Point
Tuesday night. The freshman, who relieved sophomore Garrett Davis after 1.2 innings, allowed just three hits.
Tar Heels take dramatic
victory with grand slam
BY Chris Hempson
Senior Writer
BASEBALL
High Point
North Carolina had fought
through 10 runners left on base, a UNC 
late-inning blown lead and even an
ejection of coach Mike Fox.
Before the 10th inning, senior
shortstop Ryan Graepel had fought
through an 0-for-1 day, three walks
and a baserunning mishap that left
both Graepel and Fox sprawled on
the ground.
But with the stage set in the bot-
tom of the 10th against High Point
— bases loaded, no outs and a full
count — Graepel ended the night in
dramatic fashion: hitting his first-
ever grand slam. The blast gave the
Tar Heels a highly contested 6-2
walkoff win and a cap on a night
filled with missed opportunities.
“We’ve could’ve been out of here
30 minutes earlier,” Graepel said
about the failed chances.
They sure could have.
In the fifth, UNC found itself with
runners on second and third and no
outs. Three flyouts followed.
By the sixth, outfielder Brian
Goodwin had reached third with
some nifty baserunning. Yet again
a Tar Heel was left stranded.
And if that wasn’t enough, the

10 Innings
bottom of the eighth saw North
Carolina with three UNC players all
on base. Freshman Tommy Coyle
stepped up to pinch hit. Coyle sat
down moments later with a flyout
to center.
If not for these numerous misses
on driving in players, UNC (26-17)
would have captured the win in
fairly memorable fashion — at least
for catcher Jacob Stallings — ear-
lier with his first career homer.
“Now I know what it feels like
to run around the bases a little bit,”
Stallings said.
Yet Stallings’ homer, or more
importantly, Graepel’s dramatic
dinger, wouldn’t have been neces-
sary if earlier events had unfolded
in a pro-North Carolina manner.
During the fifth inning, Graepel
rounded third and smacked into
Fox, knocking each to the ground.
“That might be a sign. That
might be an omen right there, to
get back in the dugout,” Fox joked.
In the eighth, starter-turned-
reliever Colin Bates threw errantly

to first base on a High Point (22-22)
sacrifice bunt, which enabled the
Panthers to tie the game at two.
6 Left fielder Ben Bunting and
Coyle both left three runners on
base. And to start the game, pitcher
Garrett Davis lasted only one and
two-thirds innings, giving up one
run before Fox yanked him.
But in came Michael Morin,
who delivered a workman-like and
career-high five innings of no-run
ball.
“The story was our pitching
today,” Fox said. “They got a good
hitting team, and we didn’t give
up any earned runs after (Davis).
They’re growing up.”
So too has Graepel. As Fox
cited afterward, only a veteran
would have taken a 3-1 pitch with
the bases loaded. And it paid off,
as Graepel slammed the winner,
and Fox — having been ejected for
arguing balls and strikes — was not
coaching at third base.
“(Fox) wasn’t in the way that
second time around the bases,”
Graepel said with a laugh after the
game.

Homers propel UNC to win
BY aaron taube
staff Writer
With the score tied at one in the
fifth inning of Tuesday night’s 6-2
extra-inning victory against High
Point, sophomore Jacob Stallings
came to the plate with runners on
second and third and nobody out.
A long fly ball out would have
scored Ryan Graepel from third. A
well-placed grounder would have,
too.
Instead, Stallings popped out to
shortstop. Then Mike Cavasinni
hit another pop-up. Ben Bunting
did the same, and the Tar Heels’
chance to take their first lead in
the fifth was gone.
“That was frustrating, because

Bowles asks system leaders to lobby legislators

By jeanna smialek
Staff Writer
As the legislature prepares to
begin budget talks in two weeks,
UNC-system leaders have received a
passionate appeal to use their politi-
cal influence to protect the system’s
funding and academic quality.
In an e-mail to the UNC-system
Board of Governors, system
President Erskine Bowles urged
members to ask legislators they are
friendly with to not approve further
cuts to the system in the 2010-11
budget.
Last week, N.C. Gov. Bev Perdue
recommended an additional 3.9
relationship THIS WEEK, urging
them to hold University reductions
to a minimum,” Bowles wrote.
The UNC system could be
required to cut about 1,200 addi-
tional jobs, more than half from
faculty, if the additional cuts are
approved.
“It’s going to mean bigger class-
es, fewer offerings, and students
aren’t going to be able to get the
classes they need,” said Board of
Governors’ member John Davis.
He said that while he understood
that legislators must balance the
state budget somehow, UNC can-
not handle this cut and maintain
ed, almost 900 were faculty jobs.
This year it is already being
asked to cut $52 million and could
be asked to absorb another $100
million under Perdue’s plan.
“The additional budget cuts that
the governor is reluctantly recom-
mending due to economic conditions
— new reductions in excess of $100
million — will erode the academic
core of the University,” Bowles said
in a statement last week following
Perdue’s budget recommendation.
That recommendation would
allow for full funding of need-based
financial aid and would create
funding for enrollment increases,
that Bowles has frequently made
since budget talks began.
That disproportionate burden is
prompting the Board of Governors
and Association of Student
Governments to contact their legisla-
tors to ask them to question the fea-
sibility of further the budget cuts.
Greg Doucette, ASG president,
said that ASG has been calling,
e-mailing and meeting with legis-
lators to encourage them to recon-
sider the budget proposal.
He said that while he is unsure
what the legislators will likely
decide, he hopes that the campaign
has been effective.
“Everyone is prepared to go The UNC-system

fully,” said N.C. Rep. Larry Bell, budget by the

Bell said he doesn’t know where
the cuts will come from, but he is Total cuts in 2009-10:
aware that making such substantial $300 million
cuts to the UNC system could hurt

“The Legislature convenes May

move very swiftly. We therefore ask
that you contact House and Senate
members with whom you have a

“We’re cut to the bone now,”
Davis said.

Investigation of
Ft. Hood ongoing
WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT)
— The Obama administration
won’t let Senate investigators
question the intelligence agents
who reviewed e-mails that Maj.
Nidal Hasan exchanged with an
extremist Islamic cleric before
Hasan allegedly killed 13 people
at Fort Hood, Texas.
The administration offered
to allow investigators to look at
Hasan’s personnel record and to
review parts of an internal inves-
tigation that names eight people
who should be reprimanded
for their actions in dealing with
Hasan before the shootings.
Obama says that even tax increases
are an option for reducing deficit
WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT)
— President Barack Obama said
Tuesday that everything was on
the table — including tax increas-
es — as he launched a bipartisan
commission to recommend ways
to cut the government’s soaring
budget deficits.
T he co-chairmen of the
National Commission on Fiscal
Responsibility and Reform,
Democrat Erskine Bowles and
Republican Alan Simpson, joined
Obama.
Bowles is the president of the
University of North Carolina sys-
tem and a former White House
chief of staff under President Bill
Clinton and helped negotiate
the last balanced federal budget.
Simpson is a former senator from
Wyoming.
The commission is supposed to
make recommendations by Dec. 1
on ways to cut the deficit. To assure
bipartisanship, it can make recom-
mendations to Congress only that
14 of its 18 members support.
Obama, who chose not to pro-
pose the additional budget moves
he’s asking the commission to
suggest, said partisan politics
made it necessary to enlist out-
side help.

Financial reform Ford continues Emanuel skirts

e≠orts stymied
WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT)
— Republicans continued
Tuesday to block Senate efforts
to begin formal debate on the
most sweeping overhaul of the
nation’s financial regulatory sys-
tem since the Great Depression.
Democratic leaders were happy
to cast Republicans as allies of Wall
Street because of their obstruc-
tion, while Republicans insisted
that they were delaying the bill to
ensure that taxpayers won’t have
to finance any more bailouts.
Still, at the same time, Senate
negotiators continued cordial
private talks aimed at reaching a
bipartisan deal.

DETROIT (MCT) —
America’s renewed enthusiasm
for Ford continues unabated,
as reflected in Tuesday’s eye-
popping numbers from the
Dearborn, Mich., automaker’s
first quarter report.
While an improving U.S. econ-
omy pushed up the pace of over-
all car and truck sales by 14 per-
cent in early 2010, Ford’s deliver-
ies in North America zoomed 56
percent — up to 547,000 vehicles
from 350,000 in the first three
months of 2009.
The bottom-line result: a $2
billion pretax profit, reversing a
loss of the same size a year ago.
mayoral question
CHICAGO (MCT) — Rahm
Emanuel said Tuesday during
an appearance in Chicago that
he doesn’t “want to be disrup-
tive” to Mayor Richard Daley
a week after the White House
chief of staff mentioned that
he’d like to be Chicago mayor.
Emanuel drew a wave of atten-
tion last week after he said dur-
ing a TV interview that he’d like
to run for Chicago mayor if Daley
doesn’t seek re-election and that
he’s always aspired to the job.
Emanuel also said he has not
been subpoenaed by the defense
team for ex-Gov. Rod Blagojevich
in his upcoming trial.

Artist to repaint Syd’s Ron’s ready to cruise...

with circus scene mural Are you?
By jacob martin
staff Writer
Muralist Michael Brown knows
that when he paints a mural on
someone else’s building, it won’t
last forever.
But he said he was still disap-
pointed when the owners of Syd’s
Hair Shop told him they were plan-
ning to have the mural he designed
in 2002 replaced.
The mural on Syd’s Hair Shop
will be the second of Brown’s 18
murals in downtown Chapel Hill
to be removed in the span of a few
months.
Some of Brown’s notable down-
town murals include the parade
scene on Carolina Coffee Shop, the
“paint-by-numbers” on Pantana
Bob’s and the giant pencil on
Henderson Street.
The one on the side of Syd’s
shows a collection of globes of vari-
ous sizes. Brown painted it with a
couple of UNC graduate student
interns and a group of local high
school students.
One of those interns, Scott

Nurkin, invested so much time
on the project that Syd’s owners
thought he designed it, Brown
said.
Nurkin said he kept in touch
with the shop while getting his hair
cut there. By the end of last year, he
noticed the mural had been dete-
riorating quickly, so he offered to
replace it with a mural of his own.
His mural will depict turn-of-
the-century circus posters, an
image Syd’s owners wanted on their
wall since 2002, Nurkin said.
“Michael wanted something sim-
pler because the town was funding
it,” he said. “But now I’m going to
try to create a loose interpretation
of these circus posters.”
He will begin work next week,
and Syd’s will offset some of the
cost of his materials, he said.
Another of Brown’s murals
was removed by the owners of
Sandwhich on West Franklin
Street. The previous business at
the space, Colombian restaurant
Patio Loco, had three large, color-
ful birds on the building.
“I personally like the painting,
but the building was in bad con-
dition. So when we remodeled,
the parrots had to go,” said Janet

mural to be painted over in downtown Chapel Hill in a matter of months.
Elbetri, owner of Sandwhich. “It
was just a byproduct of the demo-
lition, and I was sorry to see it go.”
Brown has been making a push
to restore many of the murals he
created close to 20 years ago.
Once a year, the Chapel Hill
Downtown Commission collected
money from local businesses to
fund the creation of a mural by
Brown. But four to five years ago,
this commission was dropped.
“Art is scary to some people,”
Brown said.
With the removal of two of
Brown’s works and the deteriora-
tion of multiple others, Jeff York,
Chapel Hill public arts adminis-
trator, said he hopes the push to

restore the murals increases.
The town would be interested
in funding the restorations if the
economy improves, York said.
“I hope people invest more in
Michael’s revitalization effort. It
really livens the place,” Nurkin said.
Brown said he had no hard feel-
ings toward Nurkin.
“Since I’m losing two murals in a
span of a few weeks, I feel like I’m — Sponsors —

Twenty-two exceptional undergraduates from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
have been selected as Phillips Ambassadors for summer and fall/yearlong 2010 study abroad
programs in Asia through the College of Arts and Sciences and the Kenan-Flagler Business
School. Phillips Ambassadors are selected based on their academic achievements and
commitment to activities, service and leadership in the classroom and community.

Dasa Pejchar Mortensen, a Ph.D. candidate in History, was selected as a Graduate Phillips
Ambassador. She will do research in China during the summer of 2010.

The Phillips Ambassadors scholarship program is made possible through a generous gift from
alumnus Earl N. “Phil” Phillips Jr., an entrepreneur and former United States ambassador.

THINK STUDY ABROAD. THINK ASIA.
