A TALE OF TWO STREETS Driver

FRANK
LIN ST
HILLSB O RO U G H ST
An opportunity for growth
by KRisten McAvoy
staff writer
It does not take more than one visit
to UNC to understand the importance
of Franklin Street to campus life and
University history.
Many students see it as the heart
of the University’s social life as stu-
dents rush Franklin Street to celebrate
everything from Halloween to win-
ning basketball games.
With the celebration of newly
renovated Hillsborough Street at
N.C. State University last week-
end, Thomas H. Stafford, Jr., vice-
chancellor for student affairs at N.C.
State, said he hopes the street will
have similar significance for stu-
dents at NCSU.
After the city spent $10 million and
10 years in planning the street’s reno-
vations, administrators hope students
will flock to Hillsborough Street the
way they flock to Franklin.
“Now there is no comparison,” said
Stafford.
Reconstruction has transformed
how the community uses and sees the
street, said Jeff Murison, executive
director of the Hillsborough Street
Community Service Corporation.
dth/erin hull “There has been an overwhelming

rent costs, are still maintaining growth and bringing in customers.
reaction,” Murison said.
He said Hillsborough Street has
an opportunity for development and
growth because of its length and the
surrounding attractions.
Franklin Street is a well-developed
brand and has a main street feel, he
said.
“They are similar in that both
streets are on the edge of wonderful
universities,” Stafford said.
The goals were to improve the qual-
ity of life for the community by creat-
ing an environment that has economi-
cally sustainable businesses, improved
traffic flow, safety for pedestrians and
a foundation for further development,
Murison said.
The renovated street includes two
roundabouts to decrease traffic jams,
sidewalks, more parking, and five new
businesses — two high-end restaurants,
a bar, a lunch restaurant and a smoothie
establishment, Murison said.
Chris Crawley, manager of the Pita
Pit that opened Aug. 12, said business
has continued to grow on the newly
renovated street.

Witnesses say ‘don’t

by Victoria Stilwell
City Editor
Although the town has increased pedestri-
an safety efforts, town officials say they won’t
work if pedestrians don’t follow the law.
A woman was turning her black Jeep Grand
Cherokee left onto Rosemary Street when she
struck a man crossing the road Tuesday, said
Lt. Robert Patton of Orange County Dispatch.
The pedestrian was walking south toward
North Columbia Street, and the emergency
call was placed at 4:20 p.m. Police and fire
crews arrived at the rainy scene two minutes
later.
Lt. Charles Quinlan of the Chapel Hill
Police Department said the victim was trans-
ported to UNC Hospitals with leg injuries.
He said the driver had a green turning
arrow by all witness accounts, and the pedes-
trian, whose name has yet to be released, had
a do-not-cross signal. The driver did not stop
after the incident.
The pedestrian’s violation of the law will be
noted in the accident report and is punishable
by citation, Quinlan said.
“If the crosswalk says don’t walk, you can’t
walk,” Quinlan said.
Rainer Dammers, the chairman of the
town’s bicycle and pedestrian advisory board,
said the group regularly hears from residents
who want pedestrians to more closely follow
crossing regulations.

Town tackling economic issues “We’ve had petitions by citizens and had
police officers there to discuss an enforcement
of traffic rules not just for cars but also for

Thorp launches legacy Out-of-State tuition debated

Tuition

Project will spur University officials and stu-

student innovation
by Jordan Walker and
Sophia Zhang
staff writers
Students and faculty members
will be hearing the word “innovation”
a lot more in the coming months.
It’s the subject of a new $125
million “Innovate@Carolina” plan
dreamed up by Chancellor Holden
Thorp to make UNC a leading uni-
versity in innovation and entrepre-
neurship.
It’s also slated to be the theme
of University Day on Oct. 12, when
Thorp will unveil the project’s
“Roadmap to Success,” an outline
of planned initiatives which call
for the University to better facili-
tate the translation of concepts into
innovations addressing problems
ranging from access to clean water
to the youth achievement gap.
Student Body Secretary Ian Lee,
who also serves as a member of the
project’s student-led input commit-
tee, said the document will serve as
Thorp’s legacy.
dents involved in the shaping of
the plan said the broad project
still lacks implementation strat-
egies after more than a year of
development.
T he C hancellor ’s Student
Innovation Team is focusing on
creating a “student innovation
hub,” on the bottom floor of the
Student Union, where students can
meet to formulate ideas and seek
assistance from faculty members
and mentors, said Shruti Shah,
chairwoman of the team.
Team member Andrew Lu said
student fees will likely fund the
hub. He added that funds from
preexisting projects will not be
diverted, but if projects share
similar goals, they will fall under
the umbrella of the Innovate@
Carolina initiative.
The faculty committee is looking
for ways to improve the education
system for innovation, said com-
mittee member Judith Cone, who
also serves as special assistant to the
chancellor for innovation and entre-
preneurship.
Other initiatives include the
expansion of the Entrepreneurs-in-

Residence program, establishing a
Carolina Innovation Fund and cre-
ating new professorships.
Cone said the project will move
from the strategizing stage to
the implementation stage after
University Day.
Cone and Shah said they sought
students with diverse backgrounds
who are interested in entrepreneur-
ship and innovation to take part in
the project.
“We want a cross-pollination of
ideas,” Cone said.
Officials say several of the stat-
ed goals and plans of Innovate@
Carolina are similar to those likely
to be in the new academic plan, a
draft of which will be released in
about four weeks.
At the academic plan steering
committee’s Friday meeting, com-
mittee member and public policy
professor Mar yann Feldman
expressed concern that releasing

In the next three months, the
UNC-system Board of Governors
will be reviewing the Four Year
Tuition Plan, which was created in
2006 by system President Erskine
Bowles to provide more stability to
the tuition process.
The board is considering sev-
eral recommendations.
In the next few weeks, the Daily
Tar Heel will take a closer look at
each of the seven policy recom-

State budget cuts have forced
universities to make up for lost
funding by disproportionately
increasing tuition for out-of-state
undergraduate students.
The UNC-system Board of
Governors is in the process of
reviewing the Four Year Tuition
Plan, and a tuition task force is
recommending the board discuss
whether individual schools in the
system need more flexibility for
setting out-of-state tuition rates.
But it is only a discussion —
Recommendations for updating tuition policy
Allowing campuses to increase
tuition by a maximum of 10 percent
in years when the state appropria-
tions are less than 6 percent. The
current cap is 6.5 percent.
Reconsider using the bottom
quarter of tuition rates of peer pub-
lic institutions as benchmarks.
Giving campuses increased
discretion in setting non-resident
tuition rates.
the plan for out-of-state tuition is
unlikely to change.
Board members said the plan
already gives campuses enough room
to increase out-of-state tuition. In
fact, campuses aren’t close to push-
ing the limit on out-of-state tuition.
Under the current tuition plan,
out-of-state tuition for UNC-
system campuses must stay below
the 75th percentile of out-of-state
tuition at each campus’ public peer
institutions, said Brent Barringer, a
board member.
The board will discuss throwing

dents in the tuition decision-making

out that cap and making out-of-
state tuition increases market-based
to give campuses more flexibility to
increase tuition, Barringer said.
Tuition for out-of-state under-
graduates at UNC-CH increased to
$23,432 this year — a 7.7 percent
increase from last year.
Even with the significant increase
this year, based on UNC-CH’s pub-
lic peers’ out-of-state rates, there’s
still room for the University to raise
out-of-state tuition up to $31,350.

New opportunities for Africa tuition of-state students, at a board meet-

by Chloe Pinner
staff writer
African economic growth has
skyrocketed in the past decade, and
UNC alumnus Tom Woods thinks
America needs to beat competitors
to the continent.
Woods, the deputy assistant
secretary of state for Africa from
2004-06, gave a lecture Monday
entitled “Winning in Africa: A
Strategy for Success” about one
of the world’s largest emerging
markets.
A key purpose of the lecture
was to encourage engagement in
the region, as opposed to endless
donations of humanitarian aid.
“In the news media (Africa) is
portrayed as in a perpetual state
of crisis,” he said. “This is not the
Africa I know.”
Woods spoke about many
opportunities for Africa as an
emerging market, including joint
business ventures in health devel-
opment, infrastructure growth like
increasing road linkages to help
subsistence farmers sell their pro-
duce and revitalizing agriculture.
He said the latter point is one

economy hasn’t been as big of a
hindrance as some might think.
“Considering that we had a
downturn at the beginning of 2008,
and considering that downtown has
gained in occupancy level during
that time period, I think Chapel Hill
is doing excellent,” Bassett said.
Barbara Rich, the gallery direc-
tor for FRANK, the art collective,
cited parking as a constant prob-
lem in the downtown area but said
the situation is improving.
“You can find parking,” Rich
said. “It’s not always the most con-
venient place, but most cities’ park-
ing isn’t convenient.”
Jim Norton, executive direc-
tor of the Chapel Hill Downtown
Partnership, said valet parking was
instated June 1 on East and West
Franklin streets and is available
Monday through Saturday.
“You don’t even have to find a
place,” Norton said. “You drop your
car off, and they’ll park it for you.”
Ryan Hill, owner of the Clothing
Warehouse located next door to
FRANK, said while parking has
not been an issue for his store,
attracting shoppers has.
“I don’t think there are too many
barriers other than just getting
of major importance, especially in
light of environmental crises.
Woods suggested that as the
world moves toward green tech-
nology, Africa should play a much
larger role in designing technol-
ogy specific to the region’s climate,
and said technology should be
made in Africa instead of relying
on imports.
“Capital is a coward,” he said,
noting that ongoing conflicts in
countries such as Sudan and the
Congo, as well as other humani-
tarian issues, serve as major deter-
rents to prospective investors.
Due to the turbulent nature of
certain areas, Woods said he sepa-
rates countries into four categories:
those with diversified economies,
the oil exporting nations, those
with transition economies and
those that are pre-transition — a
“euphemism for poor.”
Senior Selemani Tuli, an eco-
nomics major from Tanzania,
said there is vast potential for the
continent.
“There is a lot to be done, and
a lot that America and North
Carolina can do to help, which is
people in here,” Hill said. “A lot of
people just walk in here and say,
‘Oh, I walk by this store every day
and I’ve never even seen it.’”
Norton said the town and
University are working together to
bring about development oppor-
tunities through projects like 123
West Franklin, currently known as
University Square.
And although some residents
are clamoring for retail diversity in
the form of businesses like grocery
stores, Bassett said the downtown
area just can’t support projects like
that right now.
“It would take several thousand
new residential units to support
even a small grocery store in down-
town Chapel Hill,” Bassett said.
“We just don’t have that kind of
market yet. We are not there.”
And until the town gets there,
Rich said business leaders are try-
ing to give people a reason to go
downtown — a reason other than
Franklin Street being a part of the
University.
“You have to provide something
the demographics need that they
don’t already have,” she said.
“You have to know how you’re
going to stay in business.”

Matthew Stevens, a junior busi-

Students are excited to see the
changes on the street, Stafford said.
“Hillsborough is definitely
easier to drive on because the
restructuring of the streets has
made the traffic flow more effi-
cient,” said Sarah Flowers, a
junior at NCSU.
Hillsborough Street is a gate-
way entrance to the capital city
and capital building downtown,
Murison said.
“It definitely brought in more
businesses that students can go to,”
NCSU junior Matt Korff said.

In setting tuition rates based on
the market, campuses would ensure
that their out-of-state tuition is fair
when compared to their public peer
institutions, said Charles Mercer,
chairman of the board’s budget and
finance committee.
Establishing reasonable tuition
rates and maintaining the quality
of out-of-state applicants are two
important factors the board is con-
sidering, Mercer said.
The 75th percentile is a fairly
meaningless ceiling because none
of the UNC-system campuses
are coming close to surpassing it,
Barringer said.
UNC-CH has 15 peer institu-
tions, including the University
of Michigan-Ann Arbor, the
University of California-Berkeley
and the University of Virginia. The
75th percentile of their out-of-state
tuition comes to $31,350.
If the board decides to get rid
of the 75th percentile cap, out-of-
state students at UNC-CH could
potentially be paying more than
that limit.
But Barringer and other board
members say a substantial increase
like that is highly unlikely.

It’s important for these revisions
to be considered because UNC-
system universities have cut bud-
gets to the bone, UNC-Charlotte
Board of Trustees Chairman
Eugene Johnson said.
“There’s really no meat left to cut
out,” he said.
With state funding to continue
decreasing and federal stimulus
funds running out, the differ-
ence has to be made up in tuition
increases.
“I expect that tuition will go up
this year to help relieve some of
the shortfall that we are going to
be given by the legislature in the
budget they give us,” John Ellison,
a member of the UNC-CH Board
of Trustees, said.
But Ellison said he does not think
that campuses need increased flex-
ibility to make the necessary tuition
increases. The 6.5 percent increase
cap for in-state tuition would be
significant enough if applied to
out-of-state tuition, he said.
“I can’t imagine that we would
recommend anything larger than
that,” he said.
Tuition increases are expected,
and they would be acceptable as
long as need-based aid stays con-
sistent and tuition stays reason-
able, fair and affordable, board
members say.
“I’m perfectly fine with throwing
the cap out, as long as we don’t raise
tuition in a way that will deter stu-
dents from applying,” Johnson said.

Kang. “So this is long overdue.”
As a Korean-American, Kang

“Being amongst the first genera-

Was one
face not
like the
others?
W
hen DTH editors ran
their “Connecting the
Dots” graphic last
Thursday, their aim was to pres-
ent a digestible yet comprehen-
sive summary of the NCAA and
University investigation into our
football team.
For the most part, readers were
happy with the neat synthesis of
months of information released
amidst swarms of rumors.
But one part of the graphic has
left many of you furious: Tucked
into the bottom left corner, edi-
tors included a photo of Butch
Davis’s son, Drew, his name and a
quick blurb saying that he had at
one point worked with the tutor
accused of improperly aiding sev-
eral UNC football players.
Since Thursday, the DTH has
received 16 comments on its web-
site and three letters to the editor
largely critical of the decision to
include Drew Davis in the graphic.
A heavy poster on www.scout.
com has also started an “Official
‘DTH NEEDS TO APOLOGIZE’
Thread” that has garnered about
40 concurring responses. Others
have criticized the graphic in
other threads on the site, as well.
There are three core complaints.
1) Drew Davis is a minor. His
photo shouldn’t be published
without his family’s permission.
2) Davis was named, but the
tutor wasn’t. Why?
3) By including Davis in the
same graphic as many accused
of wrongdoing, the DTH implied
that Davis was also somehow
guilty (3 is easily the most provoc-
ative — “tasteless,” and “unprofes-
sional” are the watchwords).
Let me take these issues in turn.
1) The fact that Davis is a minor
is irrelevant. A string of Supreme
Court cases have definitively
established papers’ right to publish
minors’ names and photos with-
out parental consent. The paper
had also already published Davis’s
name and picture in a profile piece
earlier this month.
2) As of Thursday, the DTH
could not publish the tutor’s
name because editors did not
know it. Though two other state
papers broke her name the next
day, UNC has released zero infor-
mation about her to date.
3) What most readers seem to
be picking up on is that by includ-
ing Davis’ name and photo, the
graphic made him —Drew the
17-year-old high-school quarter-
back — a key part of the picture.
That would suggest the fact
that the tutor worked with Drew
the person is important above and
beyond the fact that she simply
worked with a family member.
No doubt this was not the
editors’ intention. “We were not
trying to insinuate anything,”
Editor-in-Chief Sarah Frier said.
Her goal was to be as compre-
hensive (and thereby objective)
as possible by including what the
paper had already ran on Davis.
Because the graphic had an
already established pattern of
headshots and names, including
Davis’ seemed natural.
But because it only aspired to
summarize and clarify, readers
were also largely left on their
own to interpret the lines linking
headshots.
This worked fine for people like
professors Lissa Broome and Jack
Evans. The graphic clearly stated
they are charged with investigating
players’ academic misconduct.
But for those already surprised
to see Davis’ name in bold print,
the graphic did not fully justify the
relevance of Davis the person to
the story. And this, understand-
ably, has left some of you very mad.

Bring more to the table
Progress at last weekend’s ASG gathering slowed by
members who seemed too detached from the issues
L
ast weekend’s gather-
ing of the Association of
Student Governments at
Fayetteville State University left
us with a feeling that one thing
was truly lacking from the orga-
nization: preparedness.
In the past, this board has
brought a great deal of skepti-
cism and cynicism to our cover-
age of ASG — for good reason.
It gets nearly a quarter of a mil-
lion dollars annually — $1 in
fees from each student — and
spends much of it on members’
travel and lodging expenses to
make meetings.
So understandably, success
or failure largely rides on the
ability to make progress at
these gatherings.
And to be fair, some prog-
ress was made. Tuition was the
topic of the day, and a special
committee was formed to draft
a tuition proposal for ASG
president Atul Bhula to pres-
ent to the Board of Governors.
But it was an uphill struggle.
Furloughs still worth the fight
A valuable tool that UNC should not be afraid to use
A
lthough they weren’t
used this year, we think
that the addition of fur-
loughs to budget-fighting tools
will be a valuable option in the
future.
This past week, the Employee
Forum executive committee
debated whether or not to use
this new option and decided
against using it this year.
It is very late in this fiscal
year and furloughs — a tem-
porary budget fix — would not
deal with a cut as large and
long-term as the 5 percent cut
the University received this
year from state government.
Richard Mann, vice chancel-
lor for finance and administra-
tion, said a furlough is mainly
used to fix a temporary budget

Canopy coverage — that is,
the percentage of surface area
covered by foliage growing at
least 20 feet above ground —
is a key consideration for both
ecological and aesthetic rea-
sons. According to a staff memo
to Town manager Roger Stancil,
“Maintaining a robust tree cover
positively impacts air and water
resources.”
Furthermore, because cano-
py coverage can be quantified,

Confusion over parliamentary
procedure left many confused
as to what was going on. It
felt as if more time was spent
on trying to figure out how to
motion for discussion than on
discussion itself. The irony was
that a motion wasn’t needed.
Amidst all of this, we felt
that UNC’s delegation per-
formed well. Student Body
President Hogan Medlin made
strong points regarding tuition
policy. In a deliberative body
that seemed awfully equivocal,
a clear and strong opinion was
welcome. But it’s not enough —
greater attentiveness is needed
from the body at large.
A lack of engagement also
pervaded the individual com-
mittee meetings. The Academic
and Student Affairs Committee
discussed advising issues, but
most discussion centered on
personal experiences and hear-
say. Some didn’t even mention
advising but discussed unrelated
issues. It seemed like very few
shortfall and never to deal with
long-term budget problems, so
the decision not to use them
prepares the University for lon-
ger-term financial struggles.
However, the University
should always keep this option
in their back pocket. Furloughs
were fought for in the context
of the current budget woes,
and it would seem to con-
tradict that spirit to dismiss
them.
A furlough is preferred to
firing a professor. It makes
sense to spread the burden of
temporary cuts rather than
take steps that would result in
layoffs or decreased quality of
education.
But Erskine Bowles, presi-
dent of the UNC system,
it is an easy tool to regulate air
quality and is precisely the kind
of thing that should be on the
Council’s radar.
Whereas many aspects of air,
water and soil quality are so intri-
cate that efforts to control them
on a small scale are frustrating,
canopy coverage is a concrete
metric which the Council can
and should regulate.
The proposed versions of the
ordinance vary in the criteria
determining which lots are sub-
ject to these regulations.
The version recommended by
Stancil and town staff last night
only requires that the standards
be applied to projects that are
large enough and whose tree

conducted thoughtful inquiry to
prepare, thus undermining their
legitimacy as representatives of
their respective student bodies.
The Student Body Presidents’
Council also exhibited unpre-
paredness — perhaps because
many presidents sent proxies
rather than personally attending.
The representative from UNC-
Asheville wasn’t even aware of
the Four Year Tuition Plan that
was at the center of discussion.
At the end of the day, the can
was kicked three weeks down
the road, allotting that much
time to draft a tuition proposal
for the BOG.
A lack of preparation and
engagement with the issues,
coupled with leaders’ absences,
squandered the opportunity for
campuses to productively col-
laborate.
Fortunately, that speaks
more to what individuals
brought to the table than to
the potential of the organiza-
tion itself.
pushed hard last year for the
system to have this option. And
we supported his efforts.
It would be wasting that
effort if this option is not effec-
tively utilized going forward.
If temporary cuts are made
to the UNC system’s budget in
the coming years, we believe
furloughs should be one of the
first options considered to deal
with them.
And we don’t believe that
scenario is — at this point —
entirely out of the question.
While we were originally
concerned that the furlough
option was being underuti-
lized, we understand the ratio-
nale and hope the University
considers them while facing
future budgetary risks.
to require Council approval, as
with Specialty Use Permits. We
agree with this direction.
This version makes the most
sense because it balances aes-
thetic concerns with economic
ones. As town staff continue to
refine the ordinance, they should
preserve this principle. There is
no need, nor should there be,
to go so far as to devote addi-
tional resources to regulate
canopy coverage for the aver-
age residential home.
Canopy coverage is a legiti-
mate concern and is very much
within the Council’s right to reg-
ulate. While it is worth taking
the time to institute it correctly,
a canopy coverage requirement
should be enacted.

Honor your ‘sheroes’ at
Hispanic heritage event
TO THE EDITOR:
As a society, we tend to overlook
the heroic events that occur every-
day. We neglect to recognize the
courage and perseverance some
careers require. We should recog-
nize the extraordinary things done
by ordinary people. The Carolina
Latina/o Collaborative has part-
nered up with several Latino-
interest organizations to host
events that identify the important
roles Latinos play in the develop-
ment of this country.
Today, as part of this celebra-
tion, we will focus on contribu-
tions from Latina women who
have proven to be everyday “she-
roes” through the extraordinary
roles they play in our community.
“Our Latina Sheroes,” host-
ed by Latinas Promoviendo
Comunidad and Lambda Pi
Chi Sorority, Inc., and the UNC
Program in Latina/o Studies, will
highlight these contributions by
hosting a panel of Latinas who
encompass a range of profes-
sional sectors. Panelists include
Irene Godinez, Fiorella Horna-
Guerra, Virginia Cardenas, Banu
Valladares and Pilar Rocha-
Goldberg. They will discuss
their journeys to success and the
Latino issues that are prevalent
within their professions. Join

President Obama’s piece
deceitful and misleading
TO THE EDITOR:
In one of the more mislead-
ing pieces I have read in the
DTH, President Obama deceit-
fully defends his administration’s
actions in supposedly supporting
our students in the higher educa-
tion system (“Supporting our stu-
dents, strengthening our country,”
Sept. 23).
In a piece titled “Obama
Fudges Some Figures,” George
Leef directly challenges and
dismantles the logic of Obama’s
claim that roughly 75 percent of
new jobs will require higher edu-
cation.
On the contrary, Leef suggests
that nearly 52 percent of the
expected job growth in the coun-
try will exist in occupations where
on-the-job training is sufficient,
including the three expected to be
the fastest-growing: personal and
home care aides, home health
aides and medical assistants.
Obama also dishonestly touts
the benefits of the federal govern-
ment’s impending takeover of the
$100 billion student-loan busi-
ness, implemented as a result of
the president’s recent healthcare
legislation.
In doing so, the government
will effectively eliminate compe-
tition from banks while remov-
ing incentives for colleges to
keep tuition costs down now that
taxpayers will be responsible for
footing the bill. In order to make
college more affordable, Obama
should encourage state govern-
ments and universities to increase
efficiency and lower costs.
If the Obama administration
truly wants to help students obtain
a quality education and meaning-
ful employment, they must cre-
ate an environment conducive

Don’t call freshman class
‘second best,’ it’s rude
TO THE EDITOR:
The class of 2014 is second
to none! A university is nothing
without its student body; there-
fore, calling its newest addi-
tion “second-best” is calling the
entire institution “second-best.”
That doesn’t sound like Tar Heel
pride.
Clumping the entire class of
2014 into one statistic is unfair
to each individual. We could very
well have some of the “best and
brightest” students on campus.
Pardon the rest of us for not grad-
uating as valedictorians of our
high schools. Rather, applaud us
for having chosen the challenge
to accept our spots here at UNC.
As if coping with the sudden
change from high school to col-
lege, from living with parents to
living with roommates, wasn’t
enough, we get slapped across
the face with a label. Realize that
we worked our butts off to get
to where we are now. However,
what does our performance
in high school have to do with
how we’ll perform here? If any-
thing, titling us as “second-best”
should galvanize us to be much
more than “second-best” statis-
tics. Judge the freshman class
by the heel print it leaves come

Stop, think about private
gifts to the University
TO THE EDITOR:
You’ve probably noticed stop
signs posted around campus say-
ing, “STOP. Tuition Ends Here.”
No, tuition hasn’t magically dis-
appeared, but we’re asking you to
stop and think about just how far
our tuition gets us here at UNC.
Did you know that our tuition
and fees only account for 10
percent of our experience here
at UNC? That means that if we
solely relied on tuition to fund our
education, our school year would
end today. Pretty scary, right?
Most of our time at UNC is
dependent upon state appropria-
tions, endowment income and pri-
vate gifts. As a senior, so much has
contributed to my experience over
the past 3 years. World-renowned
professors, student tickets for the
2009 National Championship and
my Kenan Music Scholarship have
all been made possible by private
gifts to the University.
We often don’t realize how
much of this is thanks to what oth-
ers have given us. Wouldn’t it be
great if future students could enjoy
the same Carolina experience that
we do today? As undergrads, we
too can give back to UNC and
make our time here, and everyone
else’s, that much greater.
So, go ahead — stop. Think.
