ACting Out, Acting Alone

Solo shows
a personal
experience
by Rylan Miller
staff writer
It only takes one person to break down the
barrier between a stage and an audience.
“Solo Takes On: 2,” a festival of three one-
actor performances running through this week-
end, shows the genre’s power to connect a crowd
to a performer — a power which the solo act
embraces.
The second year of the Department of
Communications Studies’ festival kicked off
Jan. 25 and will run through Sunday. Each of its
three actors present a work created from their
personal experiences and ideas.
“The festival is first of all looking at the art of the
one-person show, but it’s also celebrating the way
one can express with an audience issues of identity
and culture,” said Joseph Megel, an artist in resi-
dence in the communications studies department
and the coordinator for “Solo Takes On: 2.”
The festival’s return was inspired by last year’s
successful performances and an enthusiasm
among professionals and students to create and
perform one-person pieces, Megel said.
This year’s collection features a diverse set of
topics, male and female actors and both student
and professional performers. But all three shows
aim to capture an audience’s attention by ask-
ing it to join the person on stage in a personal,
emotional journey.

Alum finds voice in performance

Sean McKeithan didn’t plan on becoming a per-
former, let alone the star and author of an intense
one-man show.
The Carolina Performing Arts marketing and com-
munications coordinator and 2009 UNC graduate
discovered his interest in performance during the
latter part of his undergraduate career, but his slow
start in the theater hasn’t set him back.
“On Breathing in the Barrel,” McKeithan’s first full-
length piece, debuted Wednesday as part of the UNC
Communications Studies Department “Solo Takes
On: 2” performance series.
“I was never a theater kid,” McKeithan said.
“Performance is relatively new to me.”
While enrolled at the University, seminars like
Renee Alexander Craft and Joseph Megel’s perfor-
mance practicum helped McKeithan realign and
develop his interests in performance.
“I really started to crystallize during my senior
year,” McKeithan said.
“On Breathing In the Barrel” materialized out of
McKeithan’s undergraduate honors thesis, but in many
ways the performance also has roots in Megel’s class.
The performance practicum course caters to solo
performances through its emphasis on personal
exploration, Megel said.

Arts and Sciences to cut positions, classes

by Jeanna Smialek
Assistant University Editor
The College of Arts and Sciences par-
celed out budget cuts to its departments
late Wednesday, leaving department
chairs scrambling to cut costs.
Each of the College’s 37 departments
must submit their plans for implement-
ing both the recurring and non-recurring
cuts by Feb. 4. Per Chancellor Holden
Thorp’s instructions earlier this month,
the College must cut $3 million in prepa-
ration for a 5 percent cut effective July 1.
The school must also cut $2.1 million
this year to account for the additional 3.5
percent in cuts of about $17 million levied
by the state this fiscal year.
“It’s inevitably going to affect class-
room instruction,” said Karen Gil, dean
of the College of Arts and Sciences.
Gil said the cuts could translate to
fewer course and section offerings.
earlier this year to provide units fair
warning for what officials project to be
the minimum cut for the 2011-12 fiscal
year, as the N.C. General Assembly faces
a $3.7 billion shortfall.
With federal stimulus funds and state
sales tax set to expire at the end of the
current fiscal year, the University has also
made preparations for a 10 percent cut
and is in the process of preparing for a
15 percent cut.
Gil said the 5 percent cut will not be
absorbed uniformly across the College.
The cuts for each individual department
will depend upon its base budget, number
of courses offered and number of students
enrolled, among other factors, she said.
“We tried to protect, to the extent that
we can, departments that have teaching
as their main mission,” Gil said.

Board of Trustees confirms
selection for dentistry dean
The Board of Trustees on
Thursday approved the appoint-
ment of Jane Weintraub as dean of
the UNC School of Dentistry.
Weintraub, who was not pres-
ent at the board’s full meeting, was
announced earlier this week as the
selection for the deanship. A former
UNC faculty member, Weintraub
has worked at the University of
California, San Francisco since
1995. There she was director of
the Center to Address Disparities
in Children’s Oral Health.
Weintraub will assume the dean-
ship July 1, with a recommended
annual salary of $320,000.
Registrar’s office closes to
public Thursday afternoon
Over the past few weeks, lines
grew and transcript requests
mounted, prompting the registrar’s
office to close its doors to the public
at noon Thursday.
In addition to Thursday’s
impromptu closing, the Registrar’s
office will only be open from 1 p.m.
to 5 p.m. Fridays, beginning next
week.
Chris Derickson, assistant pro-
vost and University registrar said
closing early Thursday allowed his
staff to respond to the backlog of
transcript requests.
“These five hours are in no way a
break for us, but just a way to focus
on the volumes of work we have so
that when our doors are open we
can help our students and turn out
requests for transcripts faster than
we do,” Derickson said.

Lai awarded $400,000 grant
to do mucus research for HIV
Sam Lai, an assistant profes-
sor in the Division of Molecular
Pharmaceutics, has received a
$400,000 grant to explore trap-
ping HIV in mucus as a way of
preventing infection.
Blocking HIV in the mucus
membranes before infection could
be critical to prevent HIV, since
once infection is established it is
impossible to cure the disease.
Lai was awarded the grant as
part of the American Association of
Colleges of Pharmacy New Faculty
Award program, which provides
start-up funding for new pharmacy
faculty’s research programs.
He will explore ways of trapping

leaders to meet in Greenville
Members of the UNC Association
of Student Governments are meet-

weekend to continue discussing
ways to improve student input in
tuition and fees decisions.
President Atul Bhula and mem-

legislation that supports Bhula’s
attempts to obtain a vote on the
UNC-system Board of Governors.
Bhula currently is a student non-

the meeting to tell the association
about the history of the Board of
Governors.
Dixon, who was invited to the
meeting by Bhula, said he also hopes
to answer any questions the associa-

Bhula said he plans to invite
other board members and UNC
administrators to future meetings.
“My goal is to bridge that con-

Repeal would burden aid All-Star

by Chloe Pinner
staff writer
Facing a $3.7 billion shortfall in
the state budget, some University
officials have found themselves
preoccupied by the prospect of 5,
10 and 15 percent cuts.
But Dan Thornton, associate
director for scholarships and stu-
dent aid, said he has another figure
on his mind — $7.9 million.
That’s the burden a repeal of the

No frontrunner in SBP race Light on signatures,
By Deborah Strange
staff writer
As student elections season
enters its final two weeks, no clear
favorite has emerged among the
four candidates for student body
president.
Those vying for student govern-
ment’s top office have split the tradi-
tional indicators of support that have
predicted the winners of past races.
Rick Ingram collected more
signatures than any candidate in
recent memory.
Mary Cooper has the most mem-
bers on her campaign’s Facebook
page, 623 as of Thursday evening.
Ian Lee received the first
endorsement of the season from
the Dialectic and Philanthropic
Societies on Wednesday night.
In past years, candidates who
have performed well in these cat-
egories have gone on to win the
election.
Last year Hogan Medlin, the
current student body president,
received the most signatures on
his petition.
Medlin and Jasmin Jones, his
predecessor, were both endorsed
by the Dialectic and Philanthropic
Societies.
And Medlin had the most sup-
porters on Facebook by a wide
margin.
Brooklyn Stephens, the fourth
candidate, said it was not yet pos-
sible to predict who would win the
election.
“It comes down to the amount
of support candidates have in the
end,” she said.
Cooper said any attempt to pick
out favorites is useless this early in
the process.

years to honor its commitments.
Administrators say if the legisla-
ture rescinds the law, the University
could lack the funds to recruit the
top quality out-of-state students it
has in the past.
The repeal would negatively
affect the Morehead-Cain and
Robertson scholarships, which
both pay in-state tuition for out-
of-state scholarship recipients.
“If it were repealed we would
lose approximately 20 scholar-
ships out of a class of 60 — 11
North Carolinians and nine out-
of-state students,” said Chuck
Lovelace, executive director of the
Morehead-Cain Foundation.
“What some people don’t always
understand is that the provision
lowers our cost of out-of-state stu-
dents, so we can get more of both
in-state and out-of-state students.”

in student government said signa-
ture count serves as a good indica-
tor for future success.
Lee Storrow, a member of
Student Congress, said the num-
ber of signatures collected by a
candidate can be used to predict
the outcome of the race.
“I sense a perception that Rick
is going to win because of his cam-
paign staff, and he got the most
signatures,” he said.
Greg Strompolos, a 2010 candi-
date, said he thinks petition signa-
tures are important because they
show that a candidate has con-
nected with students.
“Even if you have the most amaz-
ing platform … it’s really how many
people are reached by the candi-
date and campaign,” he said.
But past elections have proven
that signatures don’t mean every-
thing.

ing place at the RBC center at 4
p.m. Sunday.
This is the first time that the All-
Star game will be hosted in North
Carolina, said Kyle Prairie, the
RBC ticket sales director.
The game attracts thousands of
fans from all over the United States
and Canada, bringing an economic
boost to the host city.
In the past, top NHL players in
the eastern conference were chosen
to go head-to-head with the top
players in the western conference.
But this year two All-Star cap-
tains will be choosing the teams
out of all of the players selected for
the game on Friday night.
North Carolina’s own Eric
Staal is captain of “Team Staal”
and Nicklas Lidstrom from the
Detroit Red Wings will lead “Team
Lidstrom.”
Every ticket has been sold for
the game, Prairie said. The RBC
stadium has an 18,730 person
capacity.
“The most expensive ticket was
$260 and it gains you entry into
the Saturday night skills competi-
tion where all the All-Stars basi-
cally compete in a skills challenge
and it includes the Sunday after-
noon game,” he said.
About 15,000 people from North
Carolina are estimated to attend
the game, Prairie said.
Out of the 30 teams in the
NHL, about 60 players have been
chosen to play in the All-Stars
weekend.
Four of the 60 players are
Carolina Hurricanes players —
Eric Staal, Jamie McBain, Cam
Ward and Jeff Skinner.
Jeff Skinner, who is 18 years old,
will be the youngest player in his-
tory to play in an All-Star game.
Derrick Lund, a defenseman for
the UNC ice hockey team, will be
attending both the skills competi-
tion and the game.
Lund said that for now he will be
cheering for Team Staal.

Head down, Hernandez all about results
Sophomore leads UNC men’s tennis team this year
by Matthew cox
staff writer
Jose Hernandez is ranked by the
Intercollegiate Tennis Association
as the preseason No. 30 singles
player.
But the ITA doesn’t quite have
the North Carolina sophomore’s
attention.
“Rankings are not my priority,”
Hernandez said. “If I do the right
things, if I continue to improve,
rankings will come anyway.”
Hernandez maintains a calm
demeanor on the court, which he
attributes to a notebook with posi-
tive quotes and phrases he keeps
nearby.
He finished his freshman cam-
paign with an 18-4 regular sea-
son record and said he is ready to
become a leader for the Tar Heels
in his sophomore year.
“He never takes a day off — his
work ethic is the best I’ve seen,”
said Joey Burkhardt, Hernandez’
doubles partner when the duo won
the University of Virginia’s Doubles
Championship in October. “He
certainly leads by example.”
Hernandez, who serves as one
of the team’s captains, said he wel-
comes the additional responsibil-
ity. His teammates have noticed a
difference.

After a five-day stay at home
in the Dominican Republic,
Hernandez said his summer con-

volley and serve.
“You definitely have to sacrifice
a little bit,” Hernandez said. “But I
want to lead the team to a national
championship so the work is worth
it.”
Hernandez’s dedication sur-
passes that which his nickname
suggests.
His mother gave him the nick-
name “Bebo,” which is Spanish
slang for baby boy. She was his
inspiration for picking up a racket
at a young age.
Hernandez’s father, who attends
almost every UNC home match,
lends verbal support in Spanish
when his son struggles.
Hernandez said he also appre-
ciates students’ support and
feels honored to represent the
University.
“Having a scholarship is more
than enough motivation to kick
some ass,” Hernandez said.
Hernandez said his coach at

The shooting, which occurred
late in the afternoon at a heav-

spark a backlash among Pakistanis
against the U.S., which is already
seen by many Pakistanis as a
superpower that exploits Pakistan
and tramples on its sovereignty.
Not long after the incident, angry
politically divided Financial Crisis
Inquiry Commission wrote in its
633-page report, which included
lengthy dissents from Republican
commissioners. The panel charged
that two of these banks, Citigroup
and Merrill Lynch, which is now
part of Bank of America, failed to
disclose in a timely fashion tens of
billions of dollars in mortgage risks

using their love of theater to direct
the program.
“It’s really fun to teach them
theater,” Fernandes said. “It’s nice
to see that other people enjoy it as
much as I do.”
Josephs, who directed Romeo
and Juliet at her school, said she
runs this group like she would any
other ensemble. She and Fernandes
lead their pupils in warm up activi-
ties and ice-breaker games to get
the youth acquainted with one
another before they begin writing.
“Theater games are really great
for ensemble building,” she said. “I
think this is really valuable to help
people get out of their shell.”
After unsuccessfully trying to
introduce the program to Chapel
Hill- Carrboro City Schools,
Hopkins went to Therapeutic
Recreation Specialist Marian
Kaslovsky for help.
Kaslovsky, who works with the
Chapel Hill Parks and Recreation
Department, gave Hopkins the
rehearsal space she needed and
helped her reach out to the com-
munity.

The Super
Bowl is
more than
a game
E
very year, the Super
Bowl serves as a defining
moment about what is
right in the United States.
Inside a Super Bowl party,
every viewer may have a different
reason to watch the game. Some
to cheer on their team, others to
debate the commercials, some to
awe during the halftime show,
capped by a few conformers that
watch just because everyone
else does. But the entirety of the
Super Bowl as the country’s pin-
nacle event is what brings the
nation together.
Super Bowl XLV is no excep-
tion. This year’s game features
two teams that contrast each
other in ownership structure
and magnitude of local market,
in addition to the ethnicities of
the head coaches. And despite
the differences among the teams
and viewers involved, Americans
are unified through our fascina-
tion with a game that transcends
sports.
America’s love for football has
never more been as accentuated
as it is in Super Bowl XLV. The
Feb. 6 game takes place in Dallas
near a local high school that
built a $60 million stadium for
its football team last year amid a
struggling economic climate.
This magnificent facility will
be upstaged by the granddaddy
of them all: the Dallas Cowboys’
new $1.2 billion stadium that
features its own $40 million
JumboTron system.
Speaking of astonishing fig-
ures: The Super Bowl generates
more overall revenue than the
gross domestic product of 25
sovereign nations. Super Bowl
Sunday might as well be declared
a national holiday. About sixteen
million more Americans watched
the 2008 Super Bowl than voted
in the 2008 presidential election.
The Super Bowl is more suc-
cessful than any domestic sport-
ing event because it manages to
attract the average American as
opposed to the average American
sports fan.
But this year, popularity
among athletes in the game is
divided. Ben Roethlisberger’s
rumored bathroom behavior has
not prevented his jersey from
being a top seller among males,
though his jersey is void in the
top 25 among women fans.
His Green Bay counterpart,
Aaron Rodgers, ranks fourth in
jersey sales among women aided
by his wholesome image and
alleged ‘Gossip Girl’ girlfriend,
Jessica Szohr.
Strong female viewership is
imperative to the success of the
Super Bowl. However, the role of
women in this year’s game took
a considerable hit. Much to the
chagrin of male viewers, neither
the Packers nor the Steelers
maintain cheerleading squads of
their own.
Yet there will be no lack of
entertainment. The Super Bowl’s
notoriety for its commercials
dates all the way back to Apple’s
unveiling of the Macintosh in a
mysterious but famed commer-
cial in 1984.
The Super Bowl is the premier
television event because it fea-
tures promotional and half-time
programming that is nearly as
noteworthy as the actual game-
play. Janet Jackson’s wardrobe
malfunction during halftime of
the 2004 Super Bowl is arguably
more memorable than any play
from the game.
Whatever your reason for
watching, take pride in sharing
your Super Bowl XLV amusement
with your fellow countrymen.

Irate over rates
The current merit scholarship tuition rates are
essential for cultivating competitive classes
S
hooting yourself in the
foot, cutting off your nose
to spite your face — a
number of expressions come
to mind when considering the
adverse effects of any attempt
by the General Assembly to roll
back a key provision that has
proven essential to maximizing
merit scholarship offerings.
The law in question allows
endowed scholarships that
offer full tuition, such as
the Morehead-Cain and the
Robertson, to pay in-state
tuition for non-resident recipi-
ents of their scholarships. The
math is simple: The less tuition
the scholarship foundation has
to pay, the more scholarships it
can offer.
The math is equally simple
(though perhaps less quanti-
fiable) when it comes to the
effect this has on our universi-
Outside perspectives
Weintraub brings needed external experience to UNC
T
he selection of Dr. Jane
Weintraub as dean of
the School of Dentistry
is a welcome departure from a
conspicuous trend of internal
picks since Chancellor Holden
Thorp assumed the helm.
Additionally, her back-
ground in public health will
serve the dentistry school well
in its mission to serve the state
and in the broader mission of
the UNC-system meeting the
goals of UNC Tomorrow.
It was just over three months
ago that the editorial board last
noted how insular the admin-
istration looked like it was
becoming.
Having looked abroad but
settled internally for a chan-
cellor, dean of the College of
Arts and Sciences and provost,
UNC has waited long enough
for outside perspectives.
Save it for the ombudsman
Town ombudsman a warranted accountability measure
T
he town of Chapel Hill
has a responsibility to
its residents to ensure
fair and equitable treatment
before the law.
To that end, the town was
right to approve a community
policing advisory committee in
acting as an ombudsman.
The committee would serve
as a resolver of disputes between
residents and the town. In order
to do so fairly, the committee
would be independent, confi-
dential and informal.
Such a committee would
increase accountability among
public officials. Inappropriate
action could be more eas-
ily unearthed due to increased
accessibility for citizens.
Residents would be able to

ty: UNC is undeniably a better
academic institution because
it is able to attract high cali-
ber students — many of whom
would otherwise be successful-
ly recruited by other schools.
The quality of every stu-
dent’s classroom experience is
at least partially dependent on
the quality of his classmates.
Furthermore, there are
innumerable ways that such
high-caliber students contrib-
ute to the prestige of our uni-
versity (e.g., the disproportion-
ate number of Rhodes Scholars
from UNC who were also
Morehead-Cain scholars).
And, believe it or not, edu-
cating the nation’s best and
brightest has positive divi-
dends for the state. There’s a
reason the Research Triangle
cultivates the immense amount
of human capital that it does.
After an exhaustive and
lengthy 16-month search, the
quest for a new dean of den-
tistry seems to have yielded an
outsider who brings needed
perspective to the University.
It isn’t that outside candi-
dates are categorically better.
But it is often the case that
even original thinkers become
habituated to one institutional
environment. Outsiders come
with different life experiences
and often a unique mind-set
that is an aid to an institution
facing unique challenges.
And ours is an institution fac-
ing such challenges — primarily
budgetary ones. That Weintraub
is coming from the University
of California system may prove
to be especially helpful for the
dentistry school and even the
broader university in meeting its
fiscal challenges. The University
responsible government.
Conflict between Chapel
Hill residents and town offi-
cials is far from alien. In 2009,
Charles Brown filed a racial
profiling complaint against
Chapel Hill police. The fir-
ing of two sanitation workers
in 2010, although condoned
by the editorial board, has
remained controversial.
In light of these and other
events, it is imperative that the
committee allow a way to bet-
ter communicate and interact
with residents.
Failure to do so creates an
environment of unresponsive,
uncaring government. And
ultimately, a government that
is unresponsive is hardly dem-
ocratic.
Equity and responsibility

This isn’t even a resident
versus non-resident issue.
Because the Morehead-Cain
Foundation balances the schol-
arships it offers both, any need
to decrease non-resident schol-
arships will hit resident schol-
arship offerings as well.
UNC is facing the potential
for at least 15 percent in cuts to
its budget. As cuts materialize,
our state leaders must know
that a maintained ability to
recruit the strongest students
will be an essential tool to miti-
gate the damage.
If the quality of our institu-
tion must take a hit, the least
that can be done is to preserve
the quality of our student pop-
ulation.
Of the available budget pol-
icy tools, this is one that legis-
lators should absolutely avoid
reaching for.
of California this year alone is
facing a $1 billion budget gap.
And Weintraub herself has
stated that her experience in
that system will prepare her
for looming cuts.
It is also worth noting that
Weintraub has a public health
background. Assuming she
makes it a priority to incorporate
that background into her leader-
ship, it might aid the dentistry
school in finding innovative ways
to serve the needs of the state,
even in spite of intense cuts.
This isn’t a hypothetical prob-
lem either: Last semester, a
dental clinic in Carrboro run by
third-year dentistry students was
forced to close when the county
chose to vacate the space.
Perhaps Weintraub will
prove to be an outsider suited
to solving the problems of serv-
ing those closest to home.
aside, the town must consider
the financial implications. As
of now, the town has no cost
estimates for the program.
According to town information
officer Catherine Lazorko, ini-
tially the town would consult the
UNC ombudsman.
So long as the costs of the
program are not prohibitively
high, it might actually repre-
sent a cost-saving measure for
the town.
By delegating the issue to an
independent third party, the
time of town employees can
be spent on more productive
endeavors.
Additionally, addressing the
complaints quickly might pre-
vent the issues from growing
protracted, time-consuming
and potentially expensive.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Teach for America gives
hope to the less fortunate
TO THE EDITOR:
To be honest, Arizona wasn’t
where I imagined my journey
would take me. So why do I look
forward to moving to a state that
is now popularly equated with
violent partisan politics and
immigration laws likened to the
Jim Crow era?
As a first-generation college
student, I have spent a great
deal of time reflecting on the
link between education and
opportunity. Teach For America
seemed to me to be a perfect fit;
an organization committed to
solving the achievement gap
by connecting the most driven,
dedicated college graduates
with the communities that
would most benefit from their
vibrancy.
I will join 450 other passion-
ate individuals to ensure that the
students of Phoenix get a quality
education, one that will empow-
er their generation to correct the
mistakes of their predecessors.
I will not let my students be
marginalized in the heat of polit-
ical tension. My classroom will
be a place where I will empha-
size acceptance, collaboration,
the value of diversity. Those are
more than buzzwords. They’re
our way forward.
As Carolina students, we strive
to make the world better. Let’s
start with equal opportunity.
Let’s start by leveling the play-
ing field.
Let’s start by refusing to
accept what is and instead form
our world by standing for what

income communities will expe-
rience university as you and I
know it. Though I expect it to be
one of the most demanding jobs
I will ever have, I will teach for
all 10.
What will you teach for?

Burr’s comments offensive
to Christians, homosexuals
TO THE EDITOR:
At a recent “March for Life”
rally, Senator Richard Burr
commented that his greatest
fear over repealing “Don’t Ask,
Don’t Tell” was that “people
who truly believe in Jesus Christ
won’t want to be chaplains in the
military.”
Frankly, this statement is
offensive to both Christians and
homosexuals.
Besides implying that being
homosexual and Christian is
incongruous, Senator Burr
suggests that true Christians
would and should refrain from
providing spiritual guidance to
someone because of whom they
choose to love.
Regardless of one’s feelings
on homosexuality, I doubt Jesus
would have turned his back on
any person.
Projecting judgmental opin-
ions and thoughts under the
guise of “Christian morals” is
harmful not only to the church,
but to humanity as a whole.
Judge not, lest ye be judged,
Senator Burr.

Dear Rick, Sorry to hear about
your freezing hands. I thought
they had heat in the Dean

Dear Student Stores, I appre-
ciate the Christmas trees in
the window, but even Charlie
Brown would agree that keep-

is a bit much.
Anyone else find it ironic that
we use the Student Stores
escalator to avoid the steps
outside, but walk up the esca-
lator anyway?

Thanks, UNC, for proving once
