Federal funds reach

UNC-system schools raked in more
federal funding for research than ever
before — thanks in part to the reces-
sion.
Funding for research systemwide
reached $1.4 billion this year, an
increase of more than 16 percent from
last year.
Most of that money came from the

RESEARCH RECORD
Funding grows during economic troubles
by WILL DORAN
ASSISTANT UNIVERSITY EDITOR
Despite nationwide financial woes, UNC
continues to flex its muscles as a major
research institution.
The University announced Thursday that
it received $803 million in research funding
during the 2010 fiscal year, up 12 percent from
the $716 million it received last year. The $87
million increase marks the 14th consecutive
year research funding has increased at UNC.
For some administrators, that trend’s
perseverance — even through times of eco-
nomic struggle — has not been surprising.
“While I have worked here, we have
always increased,” said Kelly Musty, direc-
tor of awards management for the Office of
Sponsored Research.
The UNC School of Medicine led all
departments with $424.3 million, which
accounted for about 53 percent of the total
funding. The Lineberger Comprehensive
Cancer Center was the highest individual
recipient with $60.6 million.
The University receives grants from both
government and privates sources, and most
funding comes from the federally-funded
National Institutes of Health.
In addition to that source, this year UNC
capitalized on the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act, also known as the stimu-
lus bill. The University obtained $126 mil-
lion from the stimulus package.
Though that injection of federal funds itself
surpassed the total increase from last year’s
funding, officials said it is difficult to deter-
mine whether the same level of funding would
have been possible without the stimulus.
“There’s absolutely nothing guaranteed
in research funding,” said Barbara Entwisle,
interim vice chancellor for research and
economic development. “What’s difficult to
imagine is what we would’ve gotten in the
absence of stimulus funding, since many
of those grants may have come from other
sources even without the stimulus money.”
The better and more brilliant the univer-
sity, the better it will be at attracting fund-
ing.”
Entwisle added that there are some wor-
ries for next year with the absence of stimu-
lus funding.
Even though the University has been suc-
cessful in obtaining research funding, it still
faces large and impending budget cuts from
the General Assembly.
Kim Monahan, a cancer researcher with the
Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, is
a SPIRE postdoctoral fellow. Since the SPIRE
program is fully funded by federal grants, she
said she does not have to worry about budget
cuts and can focus solely on her work.
“The research atmosphere at UNC is
very collaborative, very forward thinking,”
she said. “I think that environment sets you
up to be very creative and do well on grant
applications.”
Undergraduate research is another area of
research at UNC that has not been severely
affected by budget cuts, said Pat Pukkila,
director of the Office for Undergraduate
Research.
She said undergraduate research occa-
sionally gets its own grants, but that most
of it is funded by money that trickles down
from grants faculty members receive.

She added that the number of undergrad-
uates leaving UNC with research experience
increased by five percent last year, to 62 per-
cent, after being stable for several years.
“We are a research university, but the feel-
ing in the air is that everybody can get in on
it,” she said. “Students are starting earlier,
they’re not holding back. They see they can
think on their own.”

attention to,” said N.C. Rep. Tony Foriest,
D-Alamance, co-chairman of the N.C.
Senate’s higher education committee.
Foriest said the state has been trying to
direct money to research as a way of get-
ting out of the recession.
The UNC system received $22 mil-
lion for science and research equipment
from the state legislature this year. The
money is supposed to help make univer-
sities more competitive for future federal
grants.
The state legislature cut the sys-
tem’s budget by $70 million, but gave
an unprecedented amount for updating
research equipment and facilities.
Steven Leath, vice president for research
for the UNC system, said he hasn’t seen
such a strong focus on scientific advance-
ments since the space race in the 1950s
and 60s.
“The current administration has decid-
ed that for the economy to fully recover,
it needed to fund research for new ideas
and new products to create new jobs,”
Leath said.
He said the schools’ investment in
facilities and equipment factored into
researchers’ competitiveness and success
with grants.
“We got more than our fair share,” Leath
said.
U.S. Rep. David Price, who has been
pushing for federal funds to go to UNC-
system schools, said investments in inno-
vative research and development proj-
ects were a crucial part of the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
“Our local research institutions — and
UNC-CH in particular — had competi-
tive lab-ready research projects that were
able to get up and running quickly with
the help of federal funds,” Price said in an
e-mail through an assistant.

Butch Davis couldn’t help but
laugh when asked Monday if his
team would be as good if his recruits
had to be as strong in the classroom
as they are on the field.
The head coach’s laughter faded
quickly and somewhat uncomfort-
ably before he weaved through an
answer on the value of academics.
So far, most faculty get the joke.
To compete at UNC’s level in foot-
ball requires accepting that the
best players aren’t always the best
students, they said.
In interviews, faculty said they
support athletics and student-ath-
letes but dislike that a sports team
has now called the University’s aca-
demic integrity into question.
“The immediate reaction is, ‘Oh
my goodness, the University is in
trouble because of the football
team,’” pathology professor Charles
Bagnell said.
Without condoning the alleged
improper conduct with agents —
what brought NCAA investigators
to UNC — faculty express signifi-
cantly more alarm over the aca-
demic side of the investigation.
“I’m certainly very disappointed
to hear about this being part of the
investigation,” business professor
Wendell Gilland said.
Another professor, history depart-
ment chairman Lloyd Kramer, said
colleagues find themselves having to
defend the school or endure ribbing
from their peers at conferences.
“You know how people are,” he
said. “They say ‘Oh what’s going on
over at Carolina?’
“People are concerned that it
casts the University in a negative
light, and anyone who represents the
University is put in the position of
having to explain or deal with this.”
The business of athletics
When they questioned
Chancellor Holden Thorp at last
Friday’s Faculty Council meeting,
professors brought up two main
concerns: Is football success com-
ing at the expense of academics,
and are athletic salaries fair?
“There is a connection between
aspiring to be a top-10 football pro-
gram in the country and the prob-
lems you’ve encountered here,”
microbiology professor Steven
Bachenheimer said then.
Bagnell reiterated the concern,
but said he sees benefits as well.
The program keeps alumni invested

From staff and wire reports
ometimes cars get stolen and stripped, but this might be the first time some-
one stripped before stealing the car.
According to Covington, La. police, Jennifer Gille hailed a cab at a motel and
told the driver to take her to another address near town. Upon arriving at the
destination, she refused to get out of the car and told the driver she wanted to be taken
to Michigan. When the cabbie refused to take the trip, Gille took her clothes off to try to
convince him otherwise. The driver went to a police station to ask for help, but when he
did, cops say the naked woman jumped into the front seat of the cab and sped off.
Officers reportedly spotted the taxi parked about a block from the police station
and found Gille naked in the back seat. She has been charged with unauthorized
use of a movable and obscenity.

City BRIEFS
William McKinley was president

This year, Republicans might
regain the majority, which Democrats
have held since 1898, and control the
process of re-drawing the state’s vot-
ing districts — a power that could
give them the political advantage
for the next 10 years.
“It’s a huge opportunity for who-
ever is in power,” said Bob Hall,
executive director for Democracy

High school junior Drew Davis, son of UNC head football coach Butch Davis, is the quarterback of his team at East Chapel Hill High School.
Davis leads them team in yards and touchdown passes and hopes his team will make the playoffs this fall. The teams current record is 1-3.
The U.S. Supreme Court has not
struck down redistricting for par-
tisan purposes, often called gerry-
mandering.
“As we’ve seen with gerryman-
dering, whoever draws the lines
sets who gets elected for the next
10 years,” said Chris Hayes, senior
legislative analyst for the political
think tank John W. Pope Civitas
Institute. “This is the best chance
Republicans have had in decades,
and it’s looking highly likely.”
Population growth statewide in
the last decade has been focused
around urban areas, especially
Raleigh and Charlotte, Hayes said.
That means the redistricting
might cause these urban areas to
surrounding several incumbent
Democrats in the southeastern
part of the state, Hayes said.
The N.C. Republican Party had
approximately $100,000 more on
hand than the Democratic Party in
June, which could boost GOP can-
didates’ election prospects.
“North Carolina is reflecting
what the nation is reflecting,” said
Sen. Ellie Kinnaird, D-Orange.
“There’s a great deal of uncertainty

Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu. A new policy announced Monday
by the UNC Athletic Ticket Office
will allow students to purchase guest
passes for football games online. The
passes for those games became avail-
able for purchase Monday. Passes
for the East Carolina University and
N.C. State University games will be
available beginning the Monday
before those games.
For $50 — the full general
admission ticket price — non-
UNC students can now purchase
passes to the student section for
any football game not included in
the lottery.
If a student does buy these tick-
ets, the student will be seated next
to his or her guest or guests.
The ticket office collaborat-
ed with the Carolina Athletic
Association to determine the pol-
icy, which was unveiled in a cam-
puswide e-mail.
“I think having it online is
going to be easier for students,”
said Carolina Athletic Association
President Brandon Finch.
Guest passes have previously been
available through the ticketing office,
but this is the first time they will be
sold online, said Clint Gwaltney,
associate athletic director for the
Smith Center and ticket operations.
“It turned out that students
weren’t knowledgeable, and it’s
just not been widely publicized, so
we decided to make them available
online,” Gwaltney said.

Local test scores show gap between genders

by Katie Barbee
staff writer
An analysis of last year’s stan-
dardized test results of Orange
County Schools shows a perfor-
mance gap between girls and
boys.
Males in grades three through
eight consistently performed worse
than their female counterparts on
standardized testing for the 2009-10
school year, school officials said at an
Orange County Board of Education
meeting last week.
“I think it’s just wonderful what
these young women are doing in
our school system,” board member
Stephen Halkiotis said at the meet-
ing. “I say more power to them.
“Men have ruled for a very long
time, and now I’m glad to see
women taking over.”
Of the 1,615 females who tested
last spring, about 76 percent were
at or above the proficiency level in
reading— nearly 4 percent higher
than the 1,675 males who tested.
Similar differences in scoring
were also reported in mathematics,
with about 85 percent of females
meeting proficiency compared to
nearly 82 percent of males.
Mary Calhoun, director of test-
ing and accountability for the dis-
trict, helped analyze scoring data
sent from the state. Calhoun said
high schools were not included
in the study because the data was
significantly more complex, but the
pattern of females outperforming
males remained constant.
C.W. Stanford Middle School
principal Anne Purcell said while
females at her school performed
slightly better than males last year,
the discrepancies were not con-
nected to a single outside factor. out at higher rates.

Democrat, truly viewing it as the
lesser of two evils. The liberal voice
here became so shrieking and
annoying, I backed up to the mid-
dle. Really, I’m extremely curious
as to whether this has happened
to others, especially in this day and
age when people at least seem to
think this is a harshly partisan era.
Are we that partisan? According
to exit interviews by MSNBC with
nine outgoing U.S. Senate mem-
bers of both parties, we aren’t. Go
online and read the transcripts;
they’re interesting. While I don’t
think partisanship has become his-
torically nasty on a national scale,
I think it has become somewhat so
on our own campus.
We look down on conserva-
tives in the sort of way homosex-
uals and minorities get harassed
in conservative parts of the coun-
try. UNC has become a liberal
death camp of tolerance. For true
diversity, groups should be seek-
ing the side opposite their own.
For example, Karl Rove, the
alleged hand to Dubya’s puppet,
will be here Monday. Despite
regarding him as self-interested
and malicious, I would rather hear
his train of thought than of some-
one who shares my views. I don’t
know how people reach the con-
clusions they do which lead them
to support people like George W.
Bush, but Rove helped orchestrate
it and can probably show me how.
The best speakers for this cam-
pus are the John Ashcroft and Tom
Tancredo types. They challenge
and help refine our views. Yet, with
conservative speakers, students
unleash an embarrassing, deafen-
ing riot that makes Mogadishu
look like Asheville. With liberal
speakers, after they’ve rehashed
the beliefs of the audience, there’s
enough sickening ass-kissing to
deem it inappropriate for minors.
What do you gain?
The University and student
groups spend thousands of dollars
on speakers — using your tuition
and fees — and we should get
more out of them. Students need
to do their part during the post-
talk question-and-answer sessions.
After I saw James Hansen — an
original, outspoken whistle-blower
on climate change — speak last
spring, the discussion session
turned into something you might
expect if girls got to interview
Justin Bieber after a concert,
including the blitz to the micro-
phone that Butch Davis must be
reviewing for potential walk-ons
(still too soon?). “Dr. Hansen,
aren’t coal and carnivores SO bad?
Yeah, I know! Want to make out?”
You don’t have to disagree with
someone’s policies. Ask how to
make progress, where could or
should compromises be made.
Organize a diverse panel of speak-
ers or even a classic, structured
Lincoln-Douglas debate. Keith
Olbermann vs. Glenn Beck,
together on stage — far greater
than the sum of the parts were
they to come speak separately.
Groups and organizers of speak-
ers, please just give us something
new. Otherwise, as you bark your
views on campus and seek a big-
ger soapbox and louder bullhorn,
preaching the same message over
and over again (technically torture,
used by the military) others will
cover their ears more, move away,
and you’ll relegate yourselves to
the integrity of the Pit preachers.
