Michael Steele, chairman of the Republican National Party, arrives at the Wake County GOP headquarters in a tour bus with the slogan “Fire
Pelosi” painted on the side. Steele is touring the country, speaking to groups in support of Republican candidates before the upcoming elections.
Steele wants red states
RNC chairman says party needs swing vote
by estes gould
staff writer
RALEIGH — Supporters of the
Republican Party crowded around a big
red bus Thursday afternoon with one
clear message — “Fire Pelosi.”
As a part of his nationwide campaign
to establish a Republican majority in
Congress, Michael Steele, former lieu-
tenant governor of Maryland and current
chairman of the Republican National
Committee, urged the party’s supporters
to turn North Carolina red.
“This is your mission: you leave here
ready to organize and win,” Steele said.
“All the change you talk about won’t
happen if you don’t win.”
Steele said the upcoming elections
are a long-awaited opportunity for
Republicans to take control of the senate
in the N.C. General Assembly. The last
time the party held a majority was 1898.
“There’s a big mood change. This state
has always been conservative, but they fell
for the hope and change that we didn’t
get,” said Doug Clark, military advisor
for Bill Randall, a Republican running
for N.C.’s 13th district seat.
“This race is not just about Republicans.
It’s about unaffiliated voters, and it’s about
Democrats who know we’re heading in the
wrong direction,” he said.
Quality of CCI laptops put to the test

simple questions about
campus life. This week:

We’ve heard the stories — the four-
year-old laptop hanging on by a screw;
the hard drive that failed once a week;
the battery that lasts only six seconds
of death; the senior who poured beer on
his computer to get a new one two weeks
before graduation.
There are a lot of complaints about
the Carolina Computing Initiative. So we
asked the question: Are CCI computers
really that bad?
The short answer is no. By nature,
laptops get a lot of use and a lot of wear,
particularly from college students. And
in the constantly evolving technology
world, four years is a long time. Repair

Republicans are hoping to gain up
to 10 seats in the U.S. Senate this year,
a result of growing discontent with
President Barack Obama’s administra-
tion and the stagnant economy.
They also need 39 seats in the U.S.
House of Representatives for a takeover.
But Tea Party candidates — more
conservative than their established party
counterparts — are unexpectedly winning
some state primaries. Republican party
members worry they will jeopardize vic-
tories in those states’ general elections.
But Steele said he is focused on unity
instead of division.
“I’m so sick and tired of Republicans
kicking each other in the shin,” he said.
“Kick a Democrat, please!”
The Tea Party represents the frustration
of many Republicans, Steele said, but the
goal of both groups is the same — victory
in November.
“We stay focused on winning. Don’t let
the noise distract you,” he said.
Steele is taking his “Fire Pelosi” tour
to more than 115 cities across America.
The tour’s name refers to House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi, who will lose her job if
Democrats lose control of the House.
“I’m fired up to fire Pelosi!” Steele

Passion
Pit
tickets
sell fast
Union couldn’t
physically sell all
by Nick Andersen
Arts Editor
More than 2,000 tickets were
sold Thursday when sales opened
for the Homecoming concert,
in a sharp contrast to last year’s
sparsely attended show.
Carolina Union Activities Board
sales for the Oct. 29 concert —
featuring indie-electronic rock
band Passion Pit in Carmichael
Auditorium — prompted hundreds
of students to line the Student
Union’s Great Hall for hours.
CUAB officals said that all 1,500
of the $15 premium floor level tick-
dth/James carras
ets were sold by early afternoon,
and that at least 500 additional
riser seats were sold before the box
office closed at 6 p.m.
“We will sell out,” said CUAB
president Adele Ricciardi. “But
just not today.”
At least 2,000 tickets remained
for sale as of 5 p.m. Thursday.
Despite the high demand for
tickets, CUAB and Union officials
said the box office staff would not
be able to physically process all
4,500 tickets in the six-hour span
of sale.
Sophomore Cat Hoffman was
the first student in the ticket line.
“I’m a transfer student, so when
I heard Passion Pit was playing
here, I completely freaked out,”
Hoffman said.
Although the Union Box Office
policy does not allow students to
camp out for tickets, Hoffman was
in the Union gallery by 7:40 a.m.
on Thursday.
By 8 a.m., when the Great Hall
was opened for would-be ticket
buyers, more than 50 students
filed through a maze of roped-off
dividers.
By 11 a.m., the hall was full —
and more students arrived as noon
drew closer.
“I don’t think I’ve ever been this
excited,” freshman Alec Mercolino
said. He first heard about the
homecoming concert when mov-
ing into his dorm a month ago.
CUAB hung posters in residence
halls for publicity.
“I haven’t stopped being excited

Supporters of Republican Chairman Michael Steele Orange wrist bands allowed stu-
and his “Fire Pelosi” campaign cheer outside the Wake
dents to come and go as dictated by
County GOP headquarters before Steele’s speech. class schedules.
Freshmen Katelyn Costa and
Natalie Dunlop divided time in
line among their suite mates.
“I loved this band forever, since
before they became a fad,” Dunlop
said. “We totally would have camped
out for tickets if we could have.”
Most students in the morning
lines said they were looking to
purchase as many of the $15 floor
seats as they could.
Senior Colin Keil was the last
student to purchase the coveted
seats.

City BRIEFS
Orange County officials talk
sales tax, transparency
Searching for additional funds,
Orange County officials are putting
the final decision on a new sales tax
increase in the hands of voters.
At Wednesday night’s Assembly
of Governments meeting, officials
discussed a proposed .25 per-
cent sales tax increase that would
benefit public schools, economic
development, library services and
emergency medical care.
The new tax would raise $2.3
million annually, 42.5 percent of
which would go to education.
The increase will appear as a refer-
endum on the ballot in November.
County Commissioner
Bernadette Pelissier emphasized
to voters that the funds would be
equally distributed between the
county’s two school systems.
These funds would provide
technology to classrooms and
facility improvements to the
schools, officials said.
Another 42.5 percent of the
funds would be committed to
boosting the county’s economy by
creating new infrastructure to cul-
tivate local businesses.

Few candidates for elections UNC
ranks
Low competition may a≠ect turnout
high
by JESSICA KENNEDY
staff writer
The annual Student Congress
election traditionally draws low
in poll
voter turnout and few candidates.
But Student Congress mem-
bers said that won’t be a matter of
concern during Tuesday’s special
election.
Former Board of Elections
Chairman Pete Gillooly said
he thinks low voter turnout for
Student Congress elections is natu-
ral — and acceptable — due to the
nature of the race.
“It really wouldn’t make sense
for a candidate to stand outside
in the Pit to advertise when not all
those people could vote for them
anyway,” he said.
The online election will be held
to fill seven vacant seats distributed
across districts 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8.
Only one candidate is running
for each seat in districts 2, for mid-
Chapel Hill resident Elaine Jerome, 82, thinks teens needs something to do besides hanging out. She says the age group is underserved,
and is establishing a nonprofit. Teens who want to get involved can visit the Hargraves Community Center at 7 p.m. on Wednesday.
TAKING CARE OF TEENS
Cafe to be established to keep teens off the street
by Holly Beilin
staff writer
It was a tragic moment for Elaine Jerome,
82, when she saw teenagers hanging out
around the trunk of a car in a parking lot.
For Jerome, a grandmother and former
educator, it was a sign that Chapel Hill need-
ed a place teens could call their own.
Elaine Jerome created the Teen Support
Coalition to build resources for a popula-
tion she saw as left out. The coalition is now
O≠-campus housing facing tenant shortages
On-campus housing more popular
by corinne white
staff writer
Local off-campus apartment
complexes are reporting high lev-
els of vacancies as demand for on-
campus housing increases.
Apartment complexes such as
Mill Creek Condominiums and
the Town House Apartments have
experienced lower occupancy rates
this semester, management staff
for both complexes said.
Owner and general manager of
Mill House Properties Adam Jones
said 10 percent of Mill Creek’s units
are empty this year. Mill Creek is
normally full, he said, but with so
many off-campus options, apart-
ment complexes are facing tenant
shortages.
“This year’s been a really bad
rental market for off-campus,”
Jones said. “There is more supply
and less demand.”
Town House property manager
Gina Turner said that due to poor
management during the spring, 15

dle campus, and 4, for Granville
Towers.
But the declared candidates
still could lose if they don’t follow
election guidelines, or if they are
defeated by a write-in candidate.
District 8, which comprises
graduate students in the College
of Arts and Sciences and School of
Education, has two vacant seats —
but no candidates on the ballot.
“The majority of graduate stu-
dents we currently have in Congress
won as write-in candidates,” said
Student Congress Speaker Deanna
Santoro. “It’s just how graduate
students do their elections.”
Student Congress Speaker Pro
Tempore Alex Mills, who current-
ly serves in one of the five District
8 seats, said he was elected as a
write-in candidate two years ago
with a mere seven votes.
Santoro said that the number
of people running for each seat is
working to establish a cafe run by teens and
supported financially by adults.
“When I moved here about eight years ago
to be with my daughter and granddaughter,
who is a teenager, I noticed there was very
little for that age group to do,” Jerome said.
“For younger kids there was sports, Little
League, ballet lessons, but that was all for
kids under the age of 12. Once they hit 12,
it all stopped. There was a real void when it
came to teens.”
apartments are still empty out of
the 111 units available. Turner is
part of a new management team
that was brought in during mid-
July.
“Marketing efforts weren’t in
place when they needed to be in
the spring, so we kind of missed
the boat,” Turner said.
Meanwhile, demand for on-
campus housing remains high.
Larry Hicks, director of the
Department of Housing and
Residential Education, said there
has been an increase in demand
for on-campus housing as well as
for Granville Towers.
Housing was overbooked dur-
ing the summer but is currently at
97 percent occupancy, not includ-
ing Granville, Hicks said. He said
occupancy is keeping pace with
extra spaces created by renova-
tions and new residence hall con-
struction.
Hicks said 8,584 students live on
campus this semester, compared to
fairly typical, but that voter turnout
is more difficult to predict and var-
ies from election to election.
With the school year just begin-
ning and Board of Elections mem-
bers just recently confirmed by
Student Congress, Andrew Phillips,
the board’s chairman, said the elec-
tion has not been aggressively pub-
licized.
“In the upcoming Homecoming
election, it’s my hope that we’ll be
able to spend much more time on
voter turnout,” he said.
But in previous years, a special
election has not been held so early
in the semester, even when it was
technically required by the Student
Code, Santoro said.
Phillips said voter turnout could
go either way.
“Since it’s so close to the begin-
ning of the year, I feel like students
are interested, but it’s too early to
tell,” he said.
Mills said voter turnout is fueled
by the competition level, which
increases with more candidates.
Chapel Hill already has one place for
youth to socialize, the Street Scene Teen
Center under the Franklin Street post office,
but center president Robert Humphreys said
the location doesn’t have enough space.
“I have said for almost 20 years that there
are about eight or nine thousand teens in
Chapel Hill and Carrboro, and the existing
center we run in the post office can only
accommodate about 150,” Humphreys said.
Jerome said she put together a board of
community members to create the cafe, which

8,420 last fall.
In 2001, fall occupancy was at
7,021 students.
Hicks said he attributes the ris-
ing popularity of on-campus hous-
ing to its convenience and to the
experience of being a part of the
UNC campus community.
Several off-campus complexes
have begun new and innovative
marketing efforts in an attempt to
attract new tenants.
They proved successful for the
Verge apartment complex, which is
an exception to the trend because
it has a higher occupancy rate than
last year.

of the criteria of the study.
“I think the fact that we ended up
on a special list as a general school
shows that we can fit to different
employers,” Angle said. “Our stu-
dents have skills that they look at.”
The Journal sur vey asked
recruiters to rate 100 colleges and
universities based on the quality of
their graduates. Recruiters were
also able to write in colleges not
on the list.
The survey found that many
recruiters preferred public state
universities over Ivy League and
elite liberal-arts schools, listing
Pennsylvania State University and
Texas A&M University as the top
two.
Among the universities that
made the top 10 were Arizona State
University, University of Michigan,
Ann Arbor, Georgia Institute of
Technology, University of Maryland
and University of Florida.
It is important for students, no
matter their major, to know what
field they want to work in, Angle
said.
He said most UNC students
have clear career ambitions and are
able to adjust to changes in their
field easily — making them more
competitive in future careers.
“We are differently marketable
than technical schools,” Angle
said. “We are good at fitting our
graduates into careers that work
for them.”
Many recruiters who visited
the University for a career fair
Thursday said UNC’s programs has
a diverse appeal.
Microsoft Corporation was one
of many companies represented
at the event. The corporation sent
three recruiters from its headquar-
ters in Washington to talk to UNC
students.
Sushant Rewaskar, one of the
recruiters, said the company was
attracted to UNC because of its
strong computer science program.

UNC hosts storied UNC faces unfamiliar

Monarchs program 3-4 defense with Jackets
by Evan G. Marlow
staff writer
In her four years on the North
Carolina field hockey team, senior
captain Katelyn Falgowski has had
a lot of experience with the team’s
rivalry with Old Dominion.
“I don’t want to say Duke-UNC
because that’s huge, but it’s a tough
one for us,” she said. “We know
we’re getting a great game out of
them every time, every year.”
The No. 1 Tar Heels (5-0) will
renew this rivalry today at 6 p.m.
at Henry Stadium.
Old Dominion (1-5) comes
into this year’s battle with a los-
ing record, but all six of their
games have been against ranked
opponents, including close loss-
es to No. 2 Maryland and No. 3
Virginia.
“They have hard-working teams
every year, year in and year out,
and they’re never an easy team,”
Falgowski said. “Whatever their
record says I’m sure that they could
have won those games so we can’t
take them lightly and we’re ready
for a good game.”
Despite a slow start this year,
Old Dominion comes in with a
legacy unmatched in collegiate
women’s field hockey.
Karen Shelton has faced many
vaunted Old Dominion teams in
her 30 years as UNC’s head coach.
Last year, UNC won its sixth cham-
pionship, leaving the program tied
with Maryland for second-most all
time. But both programs are look-
ing up to Old Dominion.
“Old Dominion is our big-
gest rival over the years” Shelton
said. “They’ve won nine cham-

they’re going to

pionships and basically every-
one in the country’s chasing Old
Dominion.”
The Monarchs haven’t won a
championship since 2000, but
their teams are always known for
their physicality.
“They come in with an inten-
sity level that matches no other
team,” Shelton said. “So you have
to be ready for them and if you’re
not, then you’re going to lose the
game.”
Falgowski knows that a match-
up with Old Dominion means a
physical game.
“ODU is that tough team
that always plays their hardest,”
Falgowski said. “They have very
tough girls and the hardest work
ethic, and there’s nothing easy.”
Shelton was able to see this
year’s ODU team play earlier this

season and thought they were a
very disciplined and consistent
team. Leading the team in scoring
is senior midfielder Loran Hatch,
who has accounted for four of the
Monarchs’ seven goals this season.
Shelton said that for the Tar
Heels to be successful, they will
need a good start to the game.
“It’s always an intense game and
a lot of times it could be who scores
the first goal,” Shelton said. “We’d
like to start quickly and get up on
them early.”
Sophomore Kelsey Kolojejchick
is looking forward to the game
and ready for a hard-fought
matchup.
“I think it’s going to be a ridicu-
lous, unreal, intense game.”

by Louie Horvath
senior writer
T.J. Yates and the rest of the North
Carolina offense are preparing to face
what has been a house of horrors for
them during the past three years — a
defense led by Al Groh.
Groh, who had been the head
coach at Virginia for the past nine
years, has completely stifled UNC’s
offense in each of their three meet-
ings during the Butch Davis era.
The Cavaliers won all three
contests, despite having less-than-
spectacular teams. Now deposed as
UVa. head coach, Groh has found a
home as the defensive coordinator
at Georgia Tech, who the Tar Heels
face this weekend.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT)
— Overcoming months of grid-
lock, the Senate approved a
small-business bill Thursday
that handed President Obama
an election-year victory but
showed just how difficult it had
become for lawmakers to agree
on the best way to help the slug-
gish economy and create jobs.
The measure passed by a 61-38
vote, with just two Republicans
crossing party lines to support
the bill, which would create a
$30 billion small-business lend-
ing fund and provide $12 billion
in tax breaks to help companies
invest and hire. The bill now
heads to the House, where it is
expected to pass swiftly.
Yet the months-long impasse
over the bill to aid small busi-
nesses, which have been hard
hit during the economic down-
turn and are championed by
both parties as engines of the
recovery, highlights the partisan
divisions before the fall midterm
election.
“It tells you the depth of the
gridlock and dysfunction that
unfortunately has gripped the
Congress,” said Sen. Evan Bayh,
D- Ind. “Hopefully, some of that
will abate after the election.”

Fall career expo a success

by Kari Johnson
staff writer
More than 500 students turned
out Thursday to the Fall Career
Expo, hoping to find work in a slow
economy.
This year, 94 businesses set up
booths in the Rams Head Gym for
students seeking full-time jobs and
internships, compared with the 81
at last year’s event, an indication of
an economic rebound.
“It’s a hopeful sign that the econ-
omy is turning around a little, so
we’re trying to capitalize on that,”
said University Career Services
Director Ray Angle.
Company recruiters emphasized
their willingness to hire.
four-hour event, 253 students had
already checked in.
By the end of the event, 542
students had visited, marking an
increase of 51 students from last
year, Angle said.
International companies, nation-
al chains and smaller business from
cities ranging from Charlotte to
Greenwood, SC sent representatives
to speak to students.
“I’m here to spark a little interest,”
said Kim Steele, of Self-Regional
Healthcare, from Greenwood.
Businesses were looking for
interns as well as paid labor, with
signs throughout the room adver-
tising internship opportunities.
“These can be like three-month
ing.
“It’s about connections,” he
said.
Jake Higgins, a senior business
major, said he came specifically to
see certain companies he was inter-
ested in, such as Hershey’s, General
Mills and Clarkston Consulting.
“It’s a good experience talking to
people who usually might intimi-
date you,” Higgins said.
“It’s good to get your name out
there.”
Freshman Brittany Darst said
she attended out of curiosity.
“I didn’t know what was going
to be offered, so I came to see,” she
said.
Angle said career fairs are
term economic troubles have
pushed the nation’s poverty
rate to levels not seen in over a
decade and close to what it was
when President Lyndon Johnson
launched the “War on Poverty,”
bringing more straited lives to
millions of Americans and add-
ing to the financial challenge
facing the whole country.
And the face of the poor has
changed ominously, new Census
Bureau data released Thursday
showed.
No longer the old stereotype
of the inner-city single mother
collecting welfare checks, those
falling below the poverty line
today are likely to full-time work-
ers who cannot earn enough to
the poor by lost jobs or shrinking
incomes.
T he higher pover ty levels
meant higher costs for govern-
ment programs such as Food
Stamps and unemployment com-
pensation, potentially heavier
tax burdens for the country as
a whole, and more straited lives
and financial pressures for mil-
lions of Americans — especially
those who were previously more
fortunate.
For the United States as a whole,
the rise in the poverty level that
began a decade ago and accelerated
during the recession has wiped out
all the gains made during the long
run of economic growth and pros-
perity in the 1990s.
— Sen. Richard Burr’s once nar-
row lead is beginning to open
up, new polling finds. After Burr
released the race’s first campaign-
funded ad, “Front Porch”, the
incumbent’s lead has more than
doubled in every poll.
In the most recent poll con-
ducted by SurveyUSA, Burr col-
lects 58 percent of the vote while
his opponent Elaine Marshall,
collects 34 percent.
In the survey of 582 likely vot-
ers, Burr had nearly complete
support of his party — 92 percent
of Republicans said they plan to
vote for him.

ad.

“Everybody’s here looking for
work, and a lot of companies
are hiring,” said Bobby Moody,
who was recruiting for Disability
Determination Services.
One company, ShareFile, even
offered to pay students $5 for their
resumes as a part of their recruit-
ing effort.
And students responded to the
increase in companies with higher
turnout.
About an hour and half into the
interviews,” said Adriane Schwager,
from DRW Trading Group.
“It’s also a try-out period for
students,” she said.
Schwager added that her com-
pany was looking for students with
a broad base of skills.
“We’re looking for well-rounded
students,” she said. “I think we can
find that here.”
Angle said that in addition to
applying for jobs, students could
also use the fair to begin network-
almost as beneficial for employers
as for students.
“They want to keep their brand
in the eye of the UNC student. It’s
a great networking opportunity,” Need to talk? Or find out

“It is important to protect water
quality in the surrounding commu-
nity,” Culbert said.
Duke Energy, the primary sup-
plier of North Carolina’s electricity,
has found contaminated water in
the ponds near all 13 of its coal ash
deposits.
At the conference, the EPA
proposed two ideas for regulating
coal ash through modifications to
the Resource Conservation and

regulate hazardous waste.

 The Daily Tar Heel
‘Nothing Pink’ a surprise
Premiere delivers
an honest story
by Nick Andersen
Arts Editor
It’s a good thing that the com-
munication studies department
knows how to tell a story.
Their efforts at imaginative and
personable story-telling took what
could have been a trite, tired topic
— the church and its strained rela-
tionship with homosexuality ­—
and turned it into a lively, warm
ensemble piece with real heart.
“Nothing Pink,” the communi-
cation studies department’s 2010
season opener, was written and
directed by department professor
Paul Ferguson.
His clever script is based on the
2009 novel “Nothing Pink,” writ-
ten by Durham-based author Mark
Hardy.
Perhaps it is a hold-over from
Hardy’s novel, but the story that
Ferguson tells is both moving and
witty, transforming a contempo-
rary issue of the culture wars into
a quiet, personal reflection on love,
faith and family.
The play tells the story of
Vincent, a young gay man strug-
gling to reconcile his sexual feel-
ings with his deeply religious
upbringing.
His parents, a stern but loving
Baptist minister and his dutiful
wife, have raised their son to be
pious and polite — and quietly
buried the obvious signs of his

Boxes in Union facilitate anonymous reports

Sexual assault forms confidential
by Deborah Strange
staff writer
Three sets of bathrooms in the
Student Union received some addi-
tional hardware in June.
Placed among pamphlets
regarding sexual harassment and
relationship violence, Safe Space
Reporting boxes allow survivors
of sexual offenses to report inci-
dents in a private, anonymous
manner.
The boxes were the idea of
senior Annie Clark, who thought
there should be a method to report
sexual offenses without having
a face-to-face conversation with
police, Campus Health or the
Office of the Dean of Students.
“In addition to the preventative
measures we take on campus, I
thought we needed a place for sur-
vivors to report privately,” Clark
said in an e-mail.
The boxes were installed in
three Student Union bathrooms
— one near Alpine Bagel Cafe on
the first floor, one neighboring the
fish tank on the second floor, and
another in the annex on the sec-
ond floor.
They are located in both the
women’s and men’s bathrooms, and
the pamphlets are in both English
and Spanish.
The boxes present survivors with
two discrete reporting options.
Through the blind reporting
option, the Office of the Dean of
Students receives the student’s
full PID and information on the
report.
Students may also list only the
last four digits of the PID to report
anonymously.
No action can be taken on the
incidents reported unless consent
is given by the survivor.

year.
She said two reports have been
made thus far. Both were from a
women’s bathroom.
Even if reporting leads to no
physical consequences, there are
benefits for the survivors, officials
said.
“It’s empowering for survivors
to report,” Manning said. “Forty
percent don’t tell anyone, but this
is a small way to put their experi-
ence on the record. It’s a way to
validate it.”
Manning added that sexual
assault is the least reported crime
on campus, necessitating a variety dth/allison russell

by Marissa Barbalato
staff writer
Although a future development
could bring bigger business and
tourism opportunities to Carrboro,
financing difficulties are standing
in the way.
300 East Main Street will
transition from a one-story strip
mall to a 5.5-acre fully developed
complex, but the development
won’t be completed for at least
five more years, said Main Street
Properties spokeswoman Laura
Van Sant.
Van Sant said plans for the
development have been in the
works for six years — since 2009
— but it took four years to gain
approval.
Since then, Van Sant said, devel-
opers have run into trouble bank-
rolling the project.
The development features five-
story ideas that include a Hampton
Inn, parking deck and pedestrian
plaza similar to Weaver Street
Market.
“Right now the banks are taking
a real close look at anything they
finance,” she said.
“The hotel building in particular
is a complicated project.”
The Hampton Inn, which would
be the first hotel in Carrboro, is
planned to be the first develop-
ment of the project.
James Harris, Carrboro’s com-
munity and economic develop-
ment director, said building a
hotel along with the other pro-
jected developments will give
the town the economic boost it
needs.
“Carrboro is a town of over 250
small businesses, so it will further
put us on the map,” Harris said.

Once construction has conclud-
ed, the ArtsCenter, also located on
East Main Street, will be adjacent
to the parking deck.
Though not included in devel-
opment plans, Van Sant said the
ArtsCenter is essential to the proj-
ect and provisions have been made
to include it.
The ArtsCenter is a non-profit
organization for education in the
arts. The center offers art classes,
concerts, theater productions, chil-
dren and family programs and gal-
lery exhibits.
Ed Camp, who became executive
director of the ArtsCenter in 2009,
said the new development will be
a positive influence on the center,
which will also benefit from the
parking deck.
Camp said the Hampton Inn
could also allow more people to
visit the center because they can
stay in town longer.
“It’s a wonderful use for that
property,” Camp said. “We look
forward to the day that it is filled
with patrons that will enjoy our
programs.”

on fun, event spokesman Mark
Sherburne said.
“The 5k race is a family-fun race,
in that kids of all ages are welcome
to attend,” Sherburne said. “They
can decorate their bikes or doodle
on their scooters or skateboards.”
After the race, former UNC
basketball star Eric Montross will
emcee the rest of the evening.

Foundation, named for Cooper.
His parents, Justin and Elise
Herman, created the foundation in
December with strong support from
friends after meeting other families
in waiting rooms and hospitals.
“We ran into families at Duke
who hadn’t eaten in three days
and couldn’t afford a funeral for
their child who’d just died,” Elise
Herman said.
In addition to medical bills,
travel costs can place additional
strain on families.
“The first thing you notice when
you visit a children’s hospital is
there are a lot of children in their
rooms without a parent, and the

Jennifer Thompson, who is a close
friend of the Hermans.
“The reality is so many parents
have to choose between working
and being able to pay for that child
to be in the hospital, and being
with their child.”
The foundation funds individual
families, along with other organi-
zations that offer affordable trans-
portation and housing to patients’
families, Herman said.
To raise money, the Hermans
and friends began selling “Super

bands, Thompson said.

selling those bands, which I
thought was pretty amazing.”

Laying
out the
rules of
laziness
T
he other day I attempted
to turn off my light with-
out leaving the warm con-
fines of my bed. After stretching
and struggling for a good minute
and a half, I thought to myself
“God! How pathetically lazy am
I that I can’t even get out of bed
to turn out a light?” Is there any
possible way to justify this egre-
gious act of sloth?
I determined that while my
specific act of laziness may have
been inexcusable, laziness in
certain instances may be justifi-
able and even necessary.
I set out on a three-week
independent study to learn the
ins and outs of laziness and
developed what I consider to be
a comprehensive set of rules to
guide lazy activity. Here are my
Rules of Laziness:
n Individuality — You and
your laziness must have a very
intimate relationship. You must
not allow your laziness to spill
over and adversely affect some-
one else. For example: You are
in a crowded elevator on the
first floor of Davis and someone
uses the elevator to go up to the
second. Everyone has had an
experience with a peer who did
not respect the individuality
rule, and you know how frus-
trating it can be.
n Reciprocity — If someone
violates the individuality clause
of the Rules of Laziness, indi-
viduals are encouraged to react
by enforcing the reciprocity
rule. If a car is tailgating you
on the highway, it is common
knowledge that you must do
everything within your power
to impede the tailgating car’s
progress, usually by decelerat-
ing.
Similarly, if someone’s lazi-
ness infringes on your rights,
you are allowed to commit an
equally lazy act upon the aggres-
sor. This self-correcting clause
has truly benevolent intentions,
meant to curb inappropriate acts
of laziness.
n Rollover — It is under-
stood that individuals’ laziness
fluctuates daily. Laziness is
totaled weekly and the roll-
over rule requires that you
must have a net positive work-
laziness balance at the end of
each week. The rollover rule
protects people from a day of
unbelievable laziness, allowing
them to work toward a positive
net weekly figure in upcoming
days. Additionally, the ending
laziness balance of one week is
next week’s beginning balance.
This means that if one desires,
it is possible to hoard your lazi-
ness points, saving for a week
of unparalleled, ridiculous lazi-
ness.
n Trump Factor — In some
social circles, extreme acts of
laziness are often revered. To
avoid marginalizing this small
but influential contingency, I
have added the Trump Factor.
The Trump Factor allows an
individual to commit an act
of laziness if and only if that
action is the most despica-
bly lazy thing that individual
has ever heard of to date. The
Trump Factor then becomes the
new standard of laziness. The
Trump Factor supersedes all
other rules.
During my independent study,
I realized that most individuals
naturally adhere to the Rules of
Laziness.
For the few who don’t, they
must understand that lazi-
ness is a privilege that must be
earned, not a right to be taken
for granted.

Vote for ticket policy
Students should reinstate the two-ticket, general
admission policy for basketball games
F
rom camping out to log-
ging in, the basketball
ticket distribution sys-
tem has transformed dramati-
cally over the years.
This year brings yet another
change: Students can now vote
online for the ticket policy they
want.
The most effective policy
through the years has been
the two-ticket policy that was
scrapped after 2008-09 sea-
son
And our recommendation is
to vote for it and reinstate it.
Last year’s widely criticized
policy of one ticket per student
caused the Carolina Athletic
Association to rethink how the
basketball ticket lottery will be
organized this season.

the CAA website where stu-
dents can cast their vote for

Students need information, not standard bed rails

ousing waited too long
to tell students about a
parent who died when
falling out of a lofted bed. But
we appreciate the attention
UNC housing has paid to lofted
bed safety since.
Still, outfitting every bed with
bed rails is not a reasonable solu-
tion — it’s an over correction for
previous silence on the issue.
UNC housing administrators
have made strides in keeping
students safe by publicizing the
availability of bed rails and tak-
ing steps to meet the increased
demand, and this communica-
tion should continue.
Director of Housing Larry

In 1962 Rita Moreno became

what kind of ticket policy they
would like. The four options
offered to students on the sur-
vey include three previously
implemented policies, as well
as a new one.
Last year’s policy, where each
student gets one ticket and
enters the game at an assigned
phase, is one of these options.
But the difficulty of finding
people to sit with is discourag-
ing, and many unused tickets
were not turned back for other
students to use.
The fact that the CAA is solic-
iting student input implies the
policy was a failure. We don’t
recommend continuing it.
The CAA is also considering
two policies where a student
can get two tickets through
the lottery. But one includes
reserved seats and there are
no phases.
the death was made public. The
increase, according to Hicks, was
also probably due to the fact that
a bed rail was present on a lofted
bed in a model dorm room.
Prior to this year, the hous-
ing department only got 30-40
requests per year, and usually
had at least twice as many bed
rails as it needed.
The department has made
a solid effort to make sure stu-
dents get their requested bed
rails. The department did run
out of rails briefly, but bor-
rowed some from NC State to
fill the demand. Rails are now
available by request.
A shipment of 200 new
rails has already arrived and
800 more will be ordered. So

Roughly one-fourth of children

This policy discourages
groups of students from going
together to games, and there-
fore is ineffective.
The new group policy can
remedy this, but it may be too
much effort on the student’s
part to assemble a group and
then join the lottery, especially
since students can form groups
on their own with general
admission seating.
This leads us to our recom-
mendation: The two-ticket
policy with phases, students
can easily form groups with-
out the intervention of the
lottery.
We are glad that CAA
President Brandon Finch is fol-
lowing through on a campaign

Now is the time to take advan-

students the right ticket policy.
housing has been keeping us
informed about and ensuring
the availability of bed rails.
But providing a bed rail
with every bed seems a little
bit overkill. Hicks said himself
that only about half the beds
are lofted, and even students
with lofted beds might not
want bed rails.
It doesn’t make sense to pro-
vide rails when most of them
will go unused and just take up
space in cramped dorm rooms.
It is a waste of money to have
twice as many bed rails as will
ever be wanted.
UNC housing should make
sure students know their options,
but rails with every bed could be
an unnecessary expense.

The Hispanic Heritage
Month we’re living in is one
that is truly historic. That’s
because we are all living it
together. There is no denying
the impact of Latino culture
on America or the contribu-
tions of Latinos to the contin-
ued success of our nation.
We must remember that this
month is about all Americans
— how we’ve benefitted from
one another’s presence and how
we’ve played a role in building
and sustaining our great coun-
try. We all felt hurt on 9/11, and
we all feel pride on July 4th.
Join us in a campus-wide
celebration of what it means
to be a multicultural institu-

Heritage Month, let us cel-
ebrate comunidad; community

above all, as Tar Heels.

Rameses Recycles turns it
green this football season
TO THE EDITOR:
This Saturday, Sept. 18 marks
the UNC football home opener —
and also the kick-off for Rameses
Recycles, a multi-departmental
effort to expand greening efforts
at UNC athletic events.
In 2009, the seven UNC home
football games generated 60 tons
of trash and 17 tons of recyclables
from the stadium, with an addi-
tional 5 tons of recyclables from
the tailgating lots. To tackle the
immense waste during football
tailgates on the UNC campus, a
staff of Rameses Recycles volun-
teers will be commissioned dur-
ing each home football game to
assist fans in waste disposal.
Sport Club athletes will travel
to tailgate sites around campus
distributing color-coded bags for
tailgaters to separate recyclable
from non-recyclable waste. By
simply separating their waste
and leaving their bags in their
tailgate lot or deck recycling zone,
fans will be able to ensure all their
materials are properly disposed.
Rameses Recycles will also
have a presence in Tar Heel town
where CAA and Environmental
Affairs Committee volunteers
will work together to educate
fans about recycling issues.
Inside the stadium or at a
tailgate lot, be aware of your
impact. Recycle your bottles,
cans, and blue cups to turn it
green when you turn it blue.

Shift to clean energy has
to be led by Universities
TO THE EDITOR:
Over the last nine months,
UNC’s Energy Task Force has
been carefully reviewing our
Climate Action Plan, seeking
alternatives to coal and innova-
tive ideas for reducing energy use.
With the task force’s work nearly
completed, it’s time to consider
how this task force’s goals can be
translated into a statewide effort
to examine energy use at the 17
schools of the UNC system.
Thanks in part to efforts here
at UNC, a new state law has been
passed that will return all money
saved through energy conserva-
tion to that university, enabling
our schools to reduce carbon
emissions while saving money. But
despite the tough economy, many
UNC-system schools are still hem-
orrhaging money through wasted
energy and inefficiency.
UNC’s Energy Task Force
has demonstrated what can be
accomplished by taking a hard
look at what needs to be done on
our own campus to reduce car-
bon emissions. The shift to clean,
renewable energy needs to be led
by college campuses across the
country. Let’s kick-start that pro-
cess with a UNC-system Energy
Task Force to empower our uni-
versities to act now to move the
state in a direction that is envi-
ronmentally just and makes eco-
nomic sense in the long term.
