Percent of students graduated

After transferring to UNC her 8.6%

junior year and taking at least
15 hours each semester, senior
Jacqueline Scott is looking for-
ward to graduating in May with
her friends.
But with barely enough hours
to graduate on schedule, Scott said
she looks back at her time at UNC
and wishes she had more help.
“If I had not gone to depart-
ments to fight for classes, I
wouldn’t have gotten (credit),” said
Scott, who was forced to petition
to have most of her credit hours
from Appalachian State University
transferred to UNC.
Scott is a member of the first
class at UNC that has been forced
to adhere to a strict eight-semes-
ter policy that pushes students to
graduate in four years.
And as a transfer student, Scott
said the task hasn’t been easy.
“I have felt very much pressured
to graduate in the eight semesters
they allot you before they push you
to the side,” she said.
A recent study of student reten-
tion and graduation rates shows that
junior transfer students are among
the least likely to graduate on time,
with only 44 percent doing so.
Compared with peer institutions
such as the University of Virginia,
UNC falls behind in graduating
students who need more than
eight semesters, according to a
draft of the 2010 retention study
presented Oct. 29 to the enroll-
ment policy advisory committee.
The study shows that the
University is the only school among
its peers to have a graduation rate
of less than 85 percent after four
years. The University ranks in the
middle — beneath UVa. and the
University of Michigan but above

Los Angeles and the University of
California at Berkeley — with regard
to four-year graduation rates.
Cynthia Demetriou, reten-
tion coordinator in the Office of
Undergraduate Education, said the
eight-semester policy was created
after a 2004 study that found stu-
dents who took time off were less
likely to graduate.
“The goal to have students com-
plete their degrees in eight semes-
ters is because they are more likely
to stay on track,” Demetriou said.
That goal is shared by other uni-
versities. At UVa., students are only
allowed to take eight semesters as
full-time students, said Rachel
Most, assistant dean in the College
of Arts and Sciences at UVa.
Most said UVa. is active in track-
ing student progress and commu-
nicating with students who aren’t
meeting expectations.
“The dean tracks students,” Most
said. “If they don’t have 54 hours
after two years, or 84 after three
years, they cannot continue as a
full-time student. They have to
make up the hours as a part-time
student or during the summer.”
Students who fall behind in
credit hours have a hold put on
their accounts and must explain

their situation to their dean.
If a student is too far behind a
benchmark, Most said they are
not allowed to continue as full-
time students and must make up
the hours as part-time students or
during the summer before they can
return to full-time status.
She added that this policy works
because if students are behind, it is
usually only by a few hours.
“By the time they are in their
eighth semester they are pretty
close to graduating,” she said.
UNC has a similar progres-
sion plan for students, requiring
students to reach 24, 51 and 78
hours after their first, second and
third years respectively, said Bobbi
Owen, assistant dean for under-
graduate education at UNC.
“We want our students to gradu-
ate,” Owen said. “And if they’re not
going to graduate at the end of
eight, nine, or 10 semesters, we’re
going to keep them, but we want
to understand why they are not
graduating on time.”
Owen said she hopes that new
tools, such as a degree auditing sys-
tem to be released in January on
ConnectCarolina, will help students

Rep. Joe Hackney, Valerie Foushee and Holden Thorp prepare to light a symbolic flare Monday marking
the start of a joint project between UNC and Orange County to convert methane gas into electricity.
Landfill gas to power UNC buildings
by Jo Nixon
staff writer
State and county officials, UNC leaders and com-
munity members gathered Tuesday to commemo-
rate the fruition of a collaboration in environmental
sustainability.
At a ground-breaking ceremony held at the
Solid Waste Administration offices, N.C. Rep. Joe
Hackney, D-Orange, Orange County Board of
Commissioners Chairwoman Valerie Foushee and
UNC Chancellor Holden Thorp stood awaiting a
countdown which signaled the beginning of the first
phase of the Orange County landfill gas project.
Holes will be drilled into the Orange County
landfill and pipes will draw out methane, a product
of the organisms that decompose garbage, so it can
be burned and used as electricity.
The methane will then be used to power UNC
buildings on Airport Drive.
Following the countdown, the trio pressed three
separate buttons on a podium to ignite a ceremonial
flame, which caught fire after a few seconds and was
followed by applause from the audience.
“It’s a big day for me,” said UNC Director of
Energy Services Ray DuBose, who added that con-
dth/daniel Turner
struction on the project officially began Monday.
DuBose said the gas will be flaring within a
year.
“We put this together in a relatively short period
of time,” he said.
At the event, DuBose outlined the $5 million
project to the crowd, describing its generators, pipe-
lines and the collection system.
The project is one of many to reduce, and eventu-
ally eliminate, the carbon footprint of the University.
Thorp said he wants this footprint to be zero by
2050.
Thorp and others said the project symbolizes the
commitment the University and Orange County
have to improving sustainability.
“Orange County and the University make a strong
team,” Foushee said.
Although the landfill is scheduled to close in
three years, officials said that will not hinder the
production of methane, which could continue for
up to several decades.
“As long as there’s gas, there’s a project,” said
County Commissioner Barry Jacobs.

Bill reducing signature count
defeated in rules committee
A bill that would reduce the
number of signatures required to
be on the ballot for student body
president candidates from 1,250 to
1,000 was rejected Tuesday night
in the rules and judiciary commit-
tee of Student Congress.
The signature requirement was
raised from 1,000 — last year’s
number — to 1,250, as the result
of an expansive elections law bill,
passed in Student Congress on Oct.
26.
The new bill was proposed by
McKinney Brown, chairman of
the student affairs committee of
Student Congress. It was reported
unfavorably by a vote of six to three,
with zero abstaining.
When a bill passes unfavorably,
it is put on an unfavorable calen-
dar, meaning two-thirds of Student
Congress would have to vote to
debate the bill.
Brown proposed the bill
because he said he believed 1,250
was too large a number and arbi-
trary.
Members of the committee
argued that by increasing the num-
ber of signatures, candidates would
have to be more proactive about
their campaigns.
The committee also discussed a
bill that made changes to the defi-
nitions of the voting districts in the
redistricting bill passed Nov. 9. The
committee voted to table the bill.
Members said it will be discussed
again in January.

Because of the extensive fire and

Atack said. “It is now a case of

After raising safety concerns
nationwide, Four Loko and other
alcoholic energy drinks might soon
disappear from shelves.
The N.C. Alcoholic Beverage
Control Commission is expected
to discuss Thursday Gov. Bev
Perdue’s request that retailers in
the state voluntarily remove all
energy drinks containing alcohol
off the shelves.
“These drinks — which can have
the effect of keeping you awake so
that you take in more and more
alcohol — have caused hospitaliza-
tions among college students and
other young people,” Perdue said in
a news release Friday.
“We have been looking closely
at this serious issue and are tak-
ing action today that we believe is
appropriate to protect the health
and safety of North Carolinians.”
The Four Loko website address-
es the safety issue of its products
by stating in a letter to the public
that the company will abide by any
future regulations.
“While we don’t agree with the
notion that mixing caffeine and
alcohol is inherently unsafe, we
do agree with the goal of keeping
adults of legal age who choose to
drink responsibly as safe and as
informed as possible,” the company
said in a news release.
The drinks are currently
banned in New York, Washington,
Michigan, Utah and Oklahoma and
several individual universities.
Growing concern among states
is also causing the federal govern-
ment to consider a nationwide
ban.
On Tuesday, U.S. Sen. Charles
Schumer, D-New York, said the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration
will prohibit sales nationwide of all
energy alcoholic drinks, including
Four Loko and Joose.
“This ruling should be the nail
in the coffin of these dangerous
and toxic drinks,” Schumer said in
a statement.
“Parents should be able to rest a
little easier knowing that soon their
children won’t have access to this
deadly brew.”

BACK TO FUNDAMENTALS
Literacy council seeks to help Orange County
by Caitlin McGinnis
staff writer
At 60 years old, Thelbert Green, has just
learned to read his first three-syllable word:
fantastic.
Green, who is dyslexic, has been working
with the Orange County Literacy Council for
the last two years to become literate.
“I love talking about all the progress I
have made,” he said. “I just want to reach
out to someone.
“I am a firm believer in not giving up.”
As a child in school, Green said he didn’t
know he was a slow learner.
“I couldn’t catch on like the other kids,”
he said. “The teachers decided I was lazy or
slow.”
Green said he eventually began to hate
going to school because his teachers would
pick on him in front of his classmates.
“I was always ashamed about not know-
ing how to read,” he said. “I always had to get
someone else to help me.”
At 18 years old, Green dropped out of
school to enter the workforce.
At the time, he had reached a first-grade
reading level, he said.
But even after leaving school, Green said
he still dreamed of learning how to read.
His wife, who used to be a teacher, and his
cousin pushed him to achieve his goal.
“Even when someone tells you what
something means because you can’t under-
stand, that emptiness needs to be fulfilled,”
he said.
Joy Turner, program manager for the lit-
eracy council, served as Green’s tutor when
he entered the adult literacy program in
2008.
The Council, which was created in 1984,
aims to achieve 100 percent adult literacy in
the county. Currently, 12 percent of the coun-
ty population has significant literacy needs.

Green currently helps care for his mother,
who has cancer, and said he plans to get a
part-time job after he covers more ground
with reading.
“The progress I have made so far I never
dreamed of making,” he said. “I don’t feel
ashamed or doubt anymore.”
His current tutor, Caroline Christopher,
said Green is a dedicated student who always
manages to fit in time for reading.
“He is discovering now that he can go out
and understand words by picking words
apart,” Christopher said.
“They are no longer just arbitrary symbols
to him.”
Green said the program, which serves
more than 170 adult learners annually, has

He said he hopes his story is an inspira-
tion to others who struggle with reading.

CakeLove founder says ‘find your purpose’
Speakers preach entrepreneurship
By Jacqueline Kantor
Staff writer
The founder and owner
of CakeLove served up some
sweet career advice and cake
Tuesday night as part of Global
Entrepreneurship Week.
Warren Brown, a lawyer-
turned-baker who owns seven
bakeries in the Washington, D.C.
area, joined fellow entrepreneur
Christopher Gergen to speak to
students about pursuing their
passions, no matter how imprac-
tical or unexpected.
Brown spoke about his experi-
ence transitioning from a lawyer in
Washington, D.C. to an entrepre-
neur struggling to open a bakery.
He began to explore baking after
years of cooking in law school.
“I’d go to parties and say, ‘I’m
Warren, I’m a foodie, but I can’t
bake,’” Brown said. “But I wanted
to change that.”
In 1999, Brown began a year-
long march through recipes,
spending four hours every night
baking as a respite from the legal
job he did not find very enjoyable
or exciting.

eral charges related to a May 2006
carjacking in Raleigh. In January
2007, he was convicted of first-
degree kidnapping, robbery with
a dangerous weapon, possessing
stolen goods and speeding to elude
“I realized if I continued to bake
cakes, I would actually deliver
myself to that place, to my own call
to greatness,” he said.
He realized his own emotional
connection to baking when per-
fecting a cake for a boss early in
his culinary experiments.
“I’m interested in the dynam-
ics of ingredients,” he said. “I’m
passionate about how they work
together, how they interact.”
In 2002 Brown left his job as a
lawyer for good.
He went on to start CakeLove,
a bakery chain in the area around
Washington, D.C. He hosted the
show “Sugar Rush” on the Food
Network for three years.
Brown’s stint on the Food
Network brought Krystle
Groseclose, a junior biology major,
to the talk, which was sponsored
by the Carolina Union Activities
Board.
The cake was provided by

Brown’s story is featured in
Gergen’s book, “Life Entrepreneurs.”
Gergen is the director of the
Entrepreneurial L eadership
Initiative at Duke University.
Gergen answered his own call
to entrepreneurship while work-
ing at CNN after a year-long stay
in South Africa.
“I was writing a story about
Nelson Mandela, and I had been
two years earlier on the streets
of South Africa getting deeply
involved in what was going on,” he
said.
“Two years later, I was in a sterile
studio writing about it. I could’ve
been out there in the world mak-
ing it a better place, not behind a
computer screen.”
Sophomore Elly Crowell said
entrepreneurship has the poten-
tial to transform the world and the
lives of people who seek out their
passions.
Gergen added, “Life entrepre-
neurship is not simply about start-
ing for-profit or non-profit organi-
zations, it’s a mindset of how you
want to live, travel, find your pur-
pose in life.”

staff writer
More than 800 local families
can look forward to turkey, ham,
stuffing and pie this holiday season
thanks to a local organization and
gracious neighbors.
The Inter-Faith Council for
Social Service will be providing
families with meals as they cel-

“People think of food, of family and

“It can be stressful if you don’t
have the resources to do that any
time of year, but especially around

Community members and orga-

which provides a holiday meal to
one family, said Chris Moran, the
IFC’s executive director.
This year, coordinators said they

Families in need must apply to

He said there are many new

those who are economically disad-

ones who have been thinking about
applying for a while and finally
make the decision to do so.
“(Families) are given numbers,
they come in and volunteers from
various congregations come in and
distribute it on the days that we do
that,” he said.
The Social Justice Life Group, a
focus group of the UNC InterVarsity

The group decided to partici-

senior Julia Wood.
Some group members spent
Nov. 2 fasting and donated all
the money they would have spent
on food that day to the program,
Wood said. She said the group
raised enough to buy two holiday
meals for disadvantaged families.
“(The council) is loving a huge
part of our community that needs
to be loved,” Wood said.

UNC dropouts release EP
Sign deal with Hopeless Records
by Malcolm Ogden
staff writer
In May, freshmen Jose Villanueva
and Matt Morgan dropped out of
UNC.
The same month, they received
an e-mail from Hopeless Records
about a possible record deal.
“I didn’t know if it was just me
being lazy or me having this child-
hood fantasy of playing music,”
Villanueva said. “It really was ter-
rifying.”
Tuesday, California’s Hopeless
Records announced a long-term
record deal with Villanueva and
Morgan’s band, Divided By Friday.
Villanueva and Morgan have
been playing music together since
the eighth grade.
They founded Divided By Friday
in 2005 when they were freshmen
in high school.
A year later, Villanueva brought
drummer Al German and bassist
Drew Howard into the lineup.
Divided By Friday toured and
played shows regularly from 2006
to 2009. The group continued to
tour even after Villanueva and
Morgan enrolled as freshmen at
UNC in 2009.
But balancing band life and
college life became something of
a challenge for Villanueva and
Morgan.
“We tried doing the band and
college thing throughout the first
semester,” Morgan said.
“We actually wrote and record-
ed a CD.”
But mixing classes and business
proved problematic.
“At the end of the first semester,
we were recording from 4 p.m. to
6 a.m., and then we had classes at
8 a.m.” Villanueva said.
“We were exhausted.”
It wasn’t until the end of their
freshman year at UNC that
Villanueva and Morgan decided to
devote themselves entirely to their
music.
“Any time a UNC student tells
their parents, ‘Hey I’m going to
leave one of the best schools in the
country,’ especially with the state of
the music industry, they think ‘No
way, you’re crazy,’” Morgan said.
But at this point, multiple record
labels were showing interest.
“Our family and friends, people
at our church, even my academic
advisor, were all really supportive,”
Morgan said.
Morgan and Villanueva agreed
last May that they would not return
to UNC in the fall.
“The moment I told my mom
she just burst into tears,” Morgan
said. “(But) they accepted it and
were 100 percent for it before we
even got the record deal.”
In September, Divided By Friday
signed the official contract with
Hopeless Records.
Band manager Jason Frizzell
helped facilitate the band’s offers.
“It’s been a real whirlwind for
the past eight or nine months,”

Frizzell said.
Howard, a 16-year-old at
the time the group signed with
Hopeless Records, is finishing high
school online while the band tours
and records. The band members
now share a house.
“We are basically his parents
now,” Morgan said.
As a part of the Hopeless
Records label, Divided By Friday
joins such bands as Anarbor and
Yellowcard, one of the band’s big-
gest influences.
Tuesday, Hopeless Records
released the band’s newest extend-
ed play record “The Constant” on
iTunes.
Hopeless Records will work with
Divided By Friday to release their
first full-length album in 2012,
Morgan said.
“Dropping out of college is a big
deal, dropping out of Chapel Hill is
a really big deal,” Villanueva said.
“We felt blessed to get so much
support.”

Russell Wilson should
not be a celebrated senior
T
his past Saturday when the
seniors of North Carolina
State’s football program
played their final game at Carter-
Finley Stadium, they were joined
by All-ACC quarterback Russell
Wilson.
He joined his teammates as the
57,161 in the homecoming crowd
in Raleigh cheered on their prized
signal caller on Senior Day.
There’s only one problem with
all this: He’s a junior.
Wilson got to share the lime-
light with 19 real seniors because
he, coach Tom O’Brien and N.C.
State don’t know if he’ll return for
his real senior season.
The Colorado Rockies selected
Wilson, a two-sport star at N.C.
State, in the fourth round of last
year’s MLB Draft and now he’s
considering leaving college to take
on a professional baseball career.
So N.C. State, in its infinite wis-
dom, allows the guy who is about
to jet for cash to share the stand-
ing ovation meant for guys like
senior linebacker Nate Irving.
Irving missed the entire 2009
season after suffering a broken
rib, collapsed lung and separated
shoulder. He’s made his return to
the field this year and leads the

UNC-G game bans Nerf guns
by Danielle Stephenson
staff writer
A change in regulation for the
Humans vs. Zombies game on the
UNC-Greensboro campus eased
community concerns, but at the cost
of some student participation.
Eliminating the use of Nerf
blasters was the main rule change
to the game this semester, said
UNC-G Campus Chief of Police
Jamie Herring.
The game now uses socks
and marshmallows instead, said
Sebastian Fernandez, the modera-
tor for Humans vs. Zombies and a
UNC-G student.
The change was made after
more than a dozen complaints
were reported during last spring’s
version of the game, he said.
One complaint concerned a stu-
dent who dressed in camouflage
and climbed on top of the school’s
financial-aid building with a Nerf
blaster, he said.
But Fernandez said eliminating
the Nerf blasters defeats the pur-
pose of the game.
Jonathan Jones
Not a role model
Wolfpack in total tackles, tackles
for loss and sacks.
Senior Day is a celebration
meant for seniors, not just for
those who may not be around
next season. Hell, if that were the
case, most members of a John
Calipari team would take the
court before the final home game.
When I was a senior at
Gastonia’s Ashbrook High School,
a junior demanded to share the
front row of the football stands
for the school’s rivalry game
against Hunter Huss because she
was transferring school districts
the next year.
So what?
If you aren’t a senior, you
shouldn’t be treated like a senior.
Allow me to anticipate a
Wolfpacker’s argument: Wilson
already completed his degree, so
academically he’s a senior and
“Our first thoughts about the
rule change were that this would
kill the game,” Fernandez said.
Fernandez said participation
dropped to 160 people compared
to 410 people in the spring.
Grace Peeler, Humans vs.
Zombies mission designer at UNC-
CH, said they had wanted to use
the example of UNC-G to get per-
mission to use Nerf blasters during
the game. But the revisions mean
UNC-G can no longer be used as
an example.
“We got the blasters approved
for a test trial this past game and
since we haven’t had any com-
plaints about the use of them, we
assume that next semester we will
be allowed to use them as well,”
Peeler said.
She said about 500 players par-
ticipated in the UNC-CH fall ver-
sion of the game.
This is the first time they have
used Nerf blasters at UNC-CH.
In addition to the rule change at
UNC-G, an e-mail was sent out to
the community so it would be aware

Contact Jonathan Jones at Viktor Bout from Thailand to the

who insist the man dubbed the

Bout, a former Soviet air force
officer who reportedly maintains
strong ties to Russian intelligence,
was put on a U.S.-bound plane
under tight security at about 1:30

He was to arrive in New York at

Bout is scheduled to appear
before a federal judge in the
Southern District of New York on
Wednesday.
He faces four terrorism-related
charges, according to an indict-

Three carry a maximum life
sentence and the fourth a prison

U.S. troops could stay in
Afghanistan until 2014
WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT)—
The White House on Tuesday
unveiled a plan for Afghanistan
that foresees U.S. troops remain-
ing there until at least the end
of 2014, more than three years
beyond when President Barack
Obama promised he would begin
withdrawing troops from the war-
torn country.
White House officials, briefing
reporters, said the U.S. will intro-
duce the plan at a NATO summit
in Lisbon, Portugal, that begins
on Friday.
In outlining the proposal, the
officials made no mention of U.S.
troops withdrawing in 2011 and
instead referred to the date as
the beginning of “a responsible
transition.”
The plan is the latest iteration
LONDON (MCT) — Prince
William and Kate Middleton, once
the world’s most talked-about col-
lege sweethearts, ended years of
speculation by announcing their
engagement Tuesday.
The second in line to the
British throne and his longtime
girlfriend, both 28, intend to get
married next year; exact date
(sometime in the spring or sum-
mer), venue (big) and guest list
(monstrous) all TBA.
With no royal or aristocratic
pedigree, Middleton will become
the first commoner in centuries
to marry a presumptive heir to
the throne. Her plebeian back-
ground has been mercilessly
picked over and ridiculed by
Britain’s snobbish tabloids, here
in a land where many still turn
up their noses at those who
speak with the wrong accent, say
“toilet” instead of “loo” or live in
a house with an address number
rather than a name.
Yet it was a grateful nation
that received the news, happy
for any distraction from depress-
ing headlines about government
cutbacks and painful retrench-
ment.

of an unfolding U.S. strategy in
Afghanistan that began with a
months-long policy review last
year followed by the deployment
of 30,000 more U.S. troops over
the summer.
In announcing the additional
troops, Obama said a withdrawal
would begin in July 2011 and
that there would be an exten-
sive review of the strategy in
December of this year.
McClatchy Newspapers
reported last week that the
Obama administration would
use the Lisbon meeting to begin
de-emphasizing the 2011 with-
drawal date in favor of a 2014
date.
There was no mention of a
withdrawal of troops during
Tuesday’s telephone briefing.
MADRID (MCT)— Morocco
on Tuesday rejected accusations
of police brutality in Western
Sahara, saying it had been obliged
to intervene at a protest camp
which had come under the con-
trol of armed militia.
The dismantling of the camp
housing 20,000 people on Nov.
8 unleashed large-scale violence
at the camp and in the nearby
Western Saharan capital of
Laayoune, with at least 10 peo-
ple reportedly killed.
Moroccan security forces had
come to rescue “innocent” peo-
ple from the camp, where the
forces faced a “brutal aggres-
sion,” Interior Minister Taieb
Cherkaoui said after meeting
his Spanish counterpart Alfredo
Perez Rubalcaba in Madrid.
The camp residents initially
demanded jobs and housing.
Rabat maintains that the camp
was infiltrated by criminals
manipulated by the Western
Saharan independence movement
Polisario and its backer Algeria.
Morocco annexed Western
Sahara after the colonial power
Spain withdrew from there in
1975.

3-year-old
illiteracy
not a
problem
D
id you know that children
who begin reading earlier
perform better in school
as students, are more success-
ful as young adults, have higher
self-esteem and have been shown
to be 56 percent better than
children who are simply average
readers?
And for the price of $14.95,
your three-year-old can learn to
read at a first-grade level.
I made the last stat up, but
the first three were pulled word
for word from the “Your Baby
Can Read” website. This product
strikes me on two levels. First, I
have serious doubts that you can
teach a three-year-old to read
at a first-grade level. But even if
this is true, the parents who buy
“Your Baby Can Read” are just
the latest example of the extreme
lengths many are willing to take
to give their children an edge
over the Jones’.
This hyper-competitive culture
that those parents create for their
children extends beyond just
academics. Control-freak stage
moms and Amateur Athletic
Union teams that require teams
of 10-year-olds to practice daily
and travel cross-country are
becoming more common. These
well-intentioned but horribly
misguided parents are always
thinking about preparing for the
next step. “If Johnny learns to
read earlier, he’ll have a better
chance of getting into so-and-so
prestigious private school. At this
private school, he’ll be groomed
as a student and be well on his
way to Harvard. If we don’t act
now, we will have missed our
chance and Johnny will never
amount to anything!”
What these parents don’t
understand are the effects of
placing such high and demand-
ing expectations on their kids
from such an early age. For every
Lebron James, who responds to
the pressure of high expectations
from a young age (and even that
may be debatable now), there are
many more that suffer from the
stress and burden of reaching
unreasonable goals.
I’m not advocating that par-
ents coddle their children at the
expense of challenging them to
reach their academic, athletic or
acting potential.
But the fact that pre-schoolers
are being prepped for admissions
interviews for Manhattan private
schools tells me that as a society,
we’ve crossed the line between
being proactive and compulsive.
One of the best bits of advice
I got as an incoming fresh-
man was, “The school you go
to isn’t nearly as important as
what you do once you’re there.”
The same message applies to
these crazy parents. Ultimately,
throwing money at a student’s
academic progress for scams like
“Your Baby Can Read,” or even
more legitimate programs like
Princeton Review SAT courses,
is worthless if a student lacks the
self-motivation and determina-
tion to achieve academic success.
Fear of not living up to par-
ents’ lofty standards can only
carry you so far.
The truly gifted and talented
people will distinguish themselves
regardless of what kind of back-
ground they emerge from. Lebron
James is still going to be a star
in the NBA if he goes the typical
route and plays college ball.
Sure, the extremes some par-
ents go to in order to make their
children better-prepared may
pay off every once in a while, but
in the greater context, it’s only
stressing kids out.

Art for roads’ sake
A new policy to allow artwork on roadways would
provide a unique outlet for local artists
T
hanks in part to the
unique advocac y of
a Chapel Hill public
official, a change in the N. C.
Department of Transportation’s
stance to allow artwork along
r o a d w ay s h a s b e c o m e a
possibility.
It’s certainly an unconven-
tional concept — but one that
could shake up the way drivers
see Chapel Hill, and could pro-
vide an outlet for local artistic
endeavors.
Jeffrey York, the public art
administrator for Chapel Hill,
was one of several advocates
from across the state who lob-
bied for the DOT to develop a
policy concerning public art. If

privilege of shoot-
ing a HIV/AIDS pub-
lic service announcement.
This advertisement featured
scenes of other activists and
me answering questions
about why we got involved
in the AIDS awareness
movement.
While we each were asked
specific questions about our
involvement, we all were asked,
“How can the average person
get involved?”
The beauty of this question
is we are all average or ordi-
nary people who are able to
do extraordinary things in the
fight against HIV/AIDS. With
this in mind, there are many
ways in which you can take
action.
One of these methods is
education. Taking some time
to learn more about principles
and policy issues regarding
HIV/AIDS is the first step to
becoming an advocate.
While you do not have to
be an expert on the issues
or the legislative process to
be effective, it does help to
understand the basics. For
example, understanding the
transmission of a virus allows
you to be a voice in advocating
for prevention and treatment
programs.
Another step on the path
to advocacy is protection. In
the HIV/AIDS movement, it
is important to walk the talk.
Using protection such as con-
doms or dental dams during
oral, vaginal or anal sex greatly
reduces your chance of con-
tracting HIV.
These methods are highly
effective in preventing HIV
when used correctly and on
a regular basis. However, the
only 100 percent effective
way to prevent transmission
of HIV/AIDS is abstinence. If
JOin us: The Daily Tar Heel is hiring for the spring semester.
We’re looking for about eight columnists who will produce hard-hitting, insightful, well-written and well-researched
columns with local relevance centered around a theme of their own choosing on a biweekly basis.
We’re looking for about eight to 10 board members who will write unsigned editorials on behalf of the DTH. Members
must attend a one-hour meeting on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday each week to brainstorm and pitch ideas. Each board
member can expect to write several editorials a week.
We’re looking for cartoonists who will produce creative, original editorial cartoons weekly. Submit three work samples to apply.
Please visit 151 E. Rosemary Street or www.DailyTarHeel.com under “Opinion” for an application.
Applications are due at 5 p.m. Dec. 8. Contact Opinion Editor Cameron Parker at cdp@unc.edu with questions.

of Transportation, the policy
could enable cities to finally
support public works of art
along roadways.
According to York, the
policy change would allow
art that is not funded by the
DOT and does not pose a risk
to public safety.
Obviously, driver safety is
always a concern. No one wants
a sculpture falling on their car.
But York believes the DOT has
addressed these concerns in
the policy.
According to York, all
art must be out of the Clear
Recovery Zone, which is an
area 25 feet from the shoulder
of the road.
This is an innovative move

you decide not to abstain, use
protection.
Once you have educated
yourself, and hopefully walk
the talk, it is important to
spread the word. Whenever
and however you can, talk to
people about HIV/AIDS pre-
vention methods and testing
options. Myth-busting some
common myths about HIV/
AIDS is also a key strategy in
educating others.
Sometimes the most conve-
nient way to educate others is
to talk to your friends or the
people with whom you are the
closest. If they are confused
about something, use the new
knowledge you have gained to
fill in some gaps for them.
If they have questions
you can not answer, direct
them to resources such as
AVERT.org, which provide
factual information about
HIV/AIDS.
Many who wish to get
involved in the movement join
or start an advocacy group or
coalition. Often people prefer
to do advocacy with others,
as it gives a chance to pool
resources and learn from the
differing expertise of group
members.
And even if you are begin-
ning, you bring expertise based
on personal experiences. Do
not be intimidated about join-
ing a group.
Do a search online and you
will find a plethora of reputa-

has an art project in the works
for US 15-501.
The new public art policy
could allow Chapel Hill to
showcase local artists’ works.
The policy could also attract
national artists to North
Carolina, with a new way to
display art around the town.
Chapel Hill places a unique
emphasis on supporting the
local artistic community.

ble organizations who do HIV/
AIDS work around the world.
HIVtest.org has a comprehen-
sive resource section on their
website with over 60 organiza-
tions you can support or join.
Many groups provide training
or mentorship in advocacy
work, giving you a chance to
increase your expertise.
Also, you can raise money
for a specific organization or
community impacted by HIV/
AIDS. Take a look around
your community and be cre-
ative and bold about taking
a stand and fighting to raise
awareness.
One of the most important
ways you can get involved
in HIV/AIDS advocacy is by
voting in local and federal
elections.
Electing officials who sup-
port the efforts and philoso-
phy of those in the fight against
HIV/AIDS makes obtaining
adequate funding and protect-
ing important programs pos-
sible.
Find out who is running
for office, and see where they
stand on HIV/AIDS preven-
tion. If you are not already
registered, take a few minutes
to register to vote. A website
to register is rockthevote.org,
which has information about
the voting process and how to
get involved with the organiza-
tion. Voting empowers you to
help influence policy, which
is the foundation of affecting
change.
In the fight against HIV/
AIDS, we will only be as suc-
cessful as the collective efforts
of everyone involved. Our bat-
tle right now is so important
that everyone must be a part
of the solution.
Educate yourself. Educate

involved. You are needed.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Four Loko is dangerous,
sale should be banned
TO THE EDITOR:
The media and politicians
have been making a big deal
about Four Loko of late; things
have come to a head, and the
FDA may ban Four Loko this
week. The claim is kids cannot
handle megadoses of alcohol and
caffeine responsibly when they
are masked by flavors resembling
Dimetapp more than Diesel.
The editorial yesterday (“Live
and let Loko”), as well as the
majority of UNC’s “party people,”
seem to find this assertion lifted
from the pages of Orwell’s “1984.”
They find it condescending, over-
ly and overtly paternalistic, and
frankly, kind of a buzzkill.
These people are kidding them-
selves. We know people who drink
Four Loko, all of whom are well
aware that Four Loko offers a
categorically different buzz from
conventional alcohol. Regardless
of their sober sensibility — or per-
haps, because of it — on nights
they drink Four Loko, they inevi-
tably drink to excess.
It is a question of practicality.
Since Four Lokos are laughably
inexpensive, it is easy to delude
yourself into thinking that $6
is a reasonable price to pay for
a reasonable night of drinking.
That’s two cans worth, and two
cans of anything spread over a
night of debauchery is par for
the course, right? Wrong.
Once you crack open the sec-
ond one, you are bound to finish
it, and then it is bound to finish
you. Everyone knows this is true.
Old people are, frustratingly,
usually right. It is especially frus-
trating when they are right, but
for the wrong reasons.

Cyber-bullying should not
have a place at UNC
TO THE EDITOR:
Remember the playground?
The big fifth grader who used
to push your head into the
sand at recess? Well, he/she
is still there, but now he hides
under the cowardly auspices of
Twitter, Facebook, AIM, Yahoo
Messenger, texting, BBM, etc.
Even adults have proven to enjoy
the anonymity.
Tonight, I witnessed cyber-
bullying first-hand via the Twitter
of a current UNC student who
identifies as gay. How the situa-
tion played out between the bul-
lies (yes, plural) and the bullied
in real life is unknown to me, but
two of the bullies tweeted their
audacious sentiments for the
entire world to see, while we sat
idly, looking at our computers and
phones. Their Tweets, public to all
who wish to see, were chock-full of
expletives and gay-bashing state-
ments. The two men, both UNC
alumni, assaulted the victim via
the social networking site and
polluted our timelines with hate-
ful language regarding the vic-
tim’s sexual orientation, physical
appearance, and skin color. They
even told him, “Go kill yourself ”
on numerous occasions.
This behavior has no place in
our society. Have we not learned
from recent events? UNC, please
do not succumb to such disgust-

Provide input for Carolina
innovation today at forum
TO THE EDITOR:
A few weeks ago, the innova-
tion road map was released at
UNC. The road map provides a
framework for creating a culture
of innovation at Carolina, and
was created with input from stu-
dents, faculty and members of the
Innovation Circle. At 5 p.m. today
in the Campus Y Faculty Lounge,
we will be hosting an Innovate@
Carolina Student Forum.
The forum is co-sponsored by
CUAB, Student Government, the
Campus Y, and the Chancellor’s
Student Innovation Team,
and light refreshments will be
served. It will be an opportunity
for students to discuss the ideas
presented in the road map, pro-
vide input, express concerns, ask
questions, and give feedback.
Student input is key to imple-
mentation of the road map; so,
your thoughts and ideas are of
utmost importance. If you are
unable to attend the forum, but
you have thoughts about the
Innovate@Carolina initiative,
please submit them under the
comment section at innovation.
unc.edu. Online, you can also find
a copy of the road map and more
