THE HOUSE THAT FOX BUILT

After taking over as UNC baseball
coach in 1998, Mike Fox has taken
the program to new heights.
By Aaron Taube
Senior Writer

Mike Fox has won 582 games in his 13 seasons

as head baseball coach at North Carolina, but he’d
never mention a single one to his players.
For Fox, baseball’s most concrete measuring
stick is more a reflection of the organization, disci-
pline and effort put forth before the first pitch was
thrown than it is a cause for celebration of the per-
formance that came after.
Inside Boshamer Stadium, banners celebrate the
four straight trips Fox and the Tar Heels made to
the College World Series, and the trophy case down-
stairs houses a trio of ACC Coastal Division titles.
But that’s just the big picture, and Fox is a details
man.
In November of 2005, some 40 months before
the renovated Boshamer Stadium opened its doors,
Fox sent UNC architect Mike Bunting a three-page,
1,000-word wish list for the $25 million project.
The document outlined, for example, that Fox
would like the press box to seat 25 people and have
two tiers, and the dugouts to be 72 feet by 75 feet
with at least five feet of space behind the benches
for cubbies and coat racks.
No, the accolades can’t nearly tell the story of how
Mike Fox took a middle-of-the-pack ACC baseball
program and built a powerhouse. Like the work of any
good architect, you’d have to look at the blueprint.

During his 13 years as coach at North Carolina, Mike Fox has rejuvenated the baseball program and helped plan the $25 million renovation of Boshamer Stadium.
Though Fox would one day excel as the starting sec-
ond baseman on UNC’s baseball team, he found him-

same reason he’d decided to enroll at the University to
begin with — Carolina basketball.
Fox had fallen in love with the men’s team as a
boy growing up in Asheville and spending his sum-
mers at UNC’s basketball camp in Chapel Hill.
So he ran stadium stairs, sprinting up and down
every night for nearly a week before JV basketball
tryouts in hopes of earning the right to wear Carolina
blue. At tryouts, Fox dove after loose balls and
absorbed the impact of charges until JV coach Eddie
Fogler had no choice but to add him to the roster.
“He played JV basketball at Carolina, and I bet
more than half the people on the baseball team
could beat him in basketball,” said Clay Johnson,
Fox’s baseball teammate and roommate at UNC.
“Mike played hard. He was a hard-nosed second
baseman, and he played basketball the same way.”
Fox’s place on the JV basketball team allowed
him a spot inside the curtain of coach Dean Smith’s
famously private varsity practices. It was there he
first took notice of the foundation on which champi-

momentum from their
weekend sweep of Virginia.
By Brandon Moree
Senior Writer
On Thursday morning, the North
Carolina baseball team will make its
return to the ACC Tournament after
missing the event last season and
posting a sub-.500 conference record
for the first time since 2001.
“We certainly want to be in the
ACC Tournament every year because
I think it’s an honor… That was the
worst week of my life last year, to be
honest with you,” UNC coach Mike
Fox said. “Our guys are glad we’re
playing this week and not practicing
or whatever else I’d have them doing.”
This season has been a different
story altogether, as the Tar Heels
(44-12, 20-10) enter this weekend’s
round-robin tournament at Durham
Bulls Athletic Park in fourth place in
the conference. That finish landed
UNC in Pool A with top seed Virginia,
No. 5 Miami and No. 8 Wake Forest.
North Carolina went 5-4 against
those three teams in the 2011 cam-
paign. Wake Forest handed the Tar
Heels their first two ACC losses of
the season in the conference-opening
series in Winston-Salem, while Miami
won its series with UNC 2-1 after
sweeping a doubleheader in Chapel
Hill back in April.
This week’s action will give the Tar
Heels a shot at revenge.
“We want to go out and get these
wins against them because they took
the series from us,” pitcher Patrick
Johnson said. “So, maybe a little pay-
back is on hand here.”
UNC swept No. 1 Virginia in the
closing weekend of the regular season
and are now ranked No. 1 in RPI.
Johnson opened the series Thursday
night by tossing the first complete
game shutout by a Tar Heel since Alex
White’s in 2009.
Johnson allowed only four hits in
the outing and was perfect in the last
five innings on his way to his 10th win
of the season.
But Johnson already has his sights
set on the next game.
“Games like that happen. People
have good games and people have bad
games,” Johnson said. “I’m just going
to go out and try to have a solid start
for our team and try to get a win.”
Fox recognizes not only how
important Johnson was in the series
for the Tar Heels, but also how valu-
able he has been all season long.
“He might be our most important

has received multiple complaints

In its latest effort to resolve at

least a year’s worth of disputes
with its lowest-paid employees,
the University has hired a con-
sulting firm to examine a culture
within housekeeping that has
elicited multiple complaints
from housekeepers.
The University hired the PRM
Consulting Group in March to
identify problems within the
housekeeping culture, accord-
ing to a memorandum from
Chancellor Holden Thorp to
housekeeping employees.
In April, dozens of University
employees, many of whom were
housekeepers, staged a sit-out in
protest of a scheduling change
workers said represented man-
agement’s lack of concern for
workers’ rights.
In the fall, housekeepers pro-
tested the “sit-down policy” they
claimed was evidence of a dis-
of sexual harassment and race
discrimination from employees.
The report will cover a wide
array of issues, including the
no sit-down policy and sexual
harassment, said Van Dobson,
chief facilities officer and
executive director for Facilities
Services.
Meanwhile, housekeeper
Amanda Hulon is formally
appealing a University ruling
on a complaint she filed against
her supervisor. In the complaint,
Hulon claims that her supervi-
sor sexually harassed her.
The director of housekeeping
services, Bill Burston, did not
respond to several calls and in-
person requests for interviews.
Burston has been temporar-
ily reassigned to special duties
at Lenoir Dining Hall, Dobson
said. The move has caused con-
fusion within Burston’s depart-
ment.

Vice chancellor for finance
will stay past June if needed
As the state legislature pre-
pares to finalize budget cuts to
the UNC system, the search con-
tinues for a key faculty member
who will oversee the cuts at the
University.
The search committee charged
with finding the next vice chan-
cellor for finance and administra-
tion began reviewing applications
May 15.
But the search has gone slower
than expected, said Dick Mann,
the current vice chancellor for
finance and administration.
Mann, who said earlier this
year that he planned to retire at
the end of June, will stay until a
replacement is found, instead of
finding someone to hold the posi-
tion on an interim basis, he said.
“Because of all these budget
issues, I’d prefer to have a smooth
transition,” he said.
Issues surrounding the shrink-
ing budget will figure promi-
nently in the job, said Bill McCoy,
chairman of the committee and
former vice president for finance
for the UNC system.
“We want somebody who can
think creatively and be out of the
box, looking at ways to minimize
the negative effects of the budget
cuts,” McCoy said.

Town Council looks to slow
development in Northside
The Chapel Hill Town Council
showed interest at Monday night’s
meeting in pursuing a morato-
rium that could potentially slow
the effects of the development of
student housing in the Northside
and Pine Knolls neighborhoods.
A moratorium would temporar-
ily freeze building permits in the
historically black and low-income
neighborhoods and possibly slow
the residential development that
many believe is pushing families
and older residents out of their
homes in favor of student housing.
Although the Chapel Hill
Planning Department recom-
mended not pursuing the
moratorium in favor of creating a
neighborhood development plan,
council members Donna Bell,
Jim Ward, Laurin Easthom, Ed
Harrison, Penny Rich and Mayor
Mark Kleinschmidt voiced their
support of the moratorium at the
meeting.
A public hearing will be held
June 20 and the council could vote
on the moratorium on June 27.

Heflin served as the town pub-

Center built, which was com-

Town Manager Roger Stancil
said Heflin’s dedication and expe-
rience have been beneficial to the
town.
The town will not immediately
fill Heflin’s position, but will
instead try to provide the same
services without him.
“It’s going to be challenging
obviously, to try to get the same
things done with fewer people
but that’s what we’ve asked oth-
ers to do in these tough economic
times,” Stancil said. “We are kind
of rearranging our office and
hopefully we can overcome the
fact that he’s not here.”
Stancil said the town might
consider filling Heflin’s position
if there is an improvement in
the economy, but the job duties
would not be the same.

funds reserved annually for proj-
ects that are not budgeted at the
beginning of the year, said Dick
Mann, vice chancellor for finance
and administration.
He said the project was small
enough to be covered by the funds.
“This was inexpensive enough,”
Mann said. “Had this been a
million-dollar project we probably
couldn’t do it.”
He added that the funding was
not appropriated from the state
legislature.
“Eighty-something percent of
state funds go to salaries,” he said.
“So we don’t have a lot of non-sal-
ary, expendable, (state) dollars.”

The renovation became neces-

forbidding large tents from being
attached to state-owned buildings,
said Nancy Davis, associate vice
chancellor for university relations.
These kinds of tents were used
to accommodate the large crowd
of guests often invited to the
chancellor’s residence, she said.
The porch will be able to host
these sized crowds, which are
invited to the house eight to 10

the first UNC player since Dustin
Ackley to take the ACC’s highest

150 years
later, race
conflicts
remain
T
his year marks the 150th
anniversary of the start of
the Civil War.
With North Carolina com-
memorating its secession deci-
sion on Saturday, I find myself
wondering if reality and the reen-
actment differ in any way besides
the style of dress.
It was, of course, not just
the war itself but the aftermath
that defined the next century
and a half of American his-
tory. The topic of race relations
since the end of Reconstruction
should be well known to the
rest of you all and if they’re not,
well, I suggest a quick return
to high school history and an
even quicker kick in the rear for
ignorance.
We remember this period
every year during Black History
Month and through the required
classes we take. The recent anni-
versary, however, has led me to
question whether this is truly an
effective way to approach race
relations in this country.
Some seem to believe that
the struggle towards racial har-
mony reached its conclusion
somewhere between Martin
Luther King, Jr.’s famous speech
and the election of President
Obama.
While the violence has largely
ended and legal forms of racial
discrimination have been swept
away, there are still signs that all
is not as it should be.
No one group is to blame,
but one can see examples of the
troubled state of race relations
across the country and even here
on campus. At our University,
the different races have arranged
themselves into set and separate
activities, bars, Greek institu-
tions and even apartment com-
plexes.
The number of times per day
I hear a character flaw blamed
solely on race is shocking.
The troubled state of racial
affairs in this country is not a
secret. However, despite nearly
universal recognition of the unre-
solved issues which still exist, it
appears many are too scared to
talk about them in any serious
manner.
Instead, Americans allow the
issue to simmer under the sur-
face until a black man running
for the presidency or a state’s
attempts at buckling down on
Hispanic immigration brings
out hidden racist attitudes. In a
country where we pretend not to
see race, it seems that, in fact, it
is all we can see.
The 150th anniversary of the
Civil War should not simply
make you casually remember
how painful memorizing all of
those battles was before return-
ing to your carefree summer. It
is a reminder that many of the
same underlying issues are still
relevant today.
So while you’re droning away
at your unpaid internship, soak-
ing in the sun at the Chapel
Ridge pool, or studying abroad
in a far away land, give some
thought to your own hidden prej-
udices. Admitting their existence
is the first step, so they say, and
you might find that the issues
surrounding the Civil War live
on in more than just your history
books.

EDITORIAL CARTOON By Alec Mercolino, amercoli@email.unc.edu
It’s the economy, stupid
Two N.C. Bills
overshadow pressing
economic issues.
N
orth Carolina is the
only Southern state
that does not consti-
tutionally prohibit same-sex
marriage, but two bills cur-
rently in the N.C. General
Assembly (SB 106/HB 777)
seek to define marriage as
exclusively between a man and
a woman.
Although the editorial board
recognizes that the issue of
gay marriage is undoubt-
edly important to many North
Carolinians, we wonder if
introducing legislation sur-
rounding a contentious social
issue should be replaced by
attempts to fix the ailing
economy.
The bills have garnered
heavy protest from gay rights
groups, yet Republican rep-
resentatives, led by Senators
Harris Blake and Jim
Forrester, push full steam
ahead. A decisive issue for
both sides of the aisle, the
gay marriage debate rages in
Raleigh.
Introduced on February 23
of this year, Senate Bill 106,
State Wide Web
Perdue’s decision lacks
backbone and hurts
rural communities.
G
ov. Bev Perdue decided
to neither sign nor
veto a bill restricting
the ability of municipalities to
provide broadband Internet
access to their citizens.
In doing so, Perdue allows
the bill to become law, albeit
under pretext of opposition —
a move that may be good for
politics, but is certainly bad for
North Carolinians.
The bill protects private
corporations by limiting
the competitiveness of cit-
ies and towns. Under the
Level Playing Field/Local
Government Competition Act,
municipalities cannot sub-
sidize service fees or borrow
money for projects without
specific taxpayer approval.
They even have to set up
separate budgets for their
services so they can pay taxes
as though they were private
companies.
Time Warner Cable has
pressed for similar legisla-
tion since 2005, when a
state appeals court upheld
the right of municipalities to
provide broadband. The cor-

Opinion
Editorial
also known as the Defense of
Marriage Act, has spawned
such outcry that groups like
Equality North Carolina have
embarked upon fundraising
campaigns to stop its progress.
Add to this a recent Elon
University poll that shows 57%
of North Carolinians support
“marriage, civil union, or part-
nerships for same-sex couples.”
Still, Republican senators
truck along, hoping to prohibit
same-sex relationship recogni-
tion.
Such heavy focus on the two
bills is unjustifiable given the
state of the economy. Time and
money should be better spent.
As the debt ceiling rises
and the unemployment rate
in North Carolina climbs to
9.5%, the board believes that
Senate Bill 106 and House Bill
777 must recede into the back-
ground — at least for the time
being.
Forget about party lines,
religion or sexual preference.
It doesn’t matter if you’re gay,
straight, conservative, liberal,
religious or atheist. The two
bills are detracting from more
pressing economic issues. It’s
common sense — fix the leaki-
est faucet first.
Right now, Republicans and
Editorial
poration’s argument pivots
on an illogical and unreal-
istic appeal to the ideology
of free-market capitalism,
complaining that it should
not have to compete with the
government.
But Time Warner seems to
forget that it owes its ability
to gouge and neglect entire
communities to the very gov-
ernments it now opposes. Like
most U.S. cable providers,
Time Warner was granted
local monopolies for bearing
the cost of infrastructure.
So, while Time Warner
blames local governments for
tipping the sacred, invisible
hand of capitalism, reality
begs to differ. Rather than
investing in the infrastructure
it needs to provide competi-
tively fast service for low pric-
es, the corporation has paid
lobbyists and made campaign
contributions to preserve its
monopoly.
The impending bill has
generated national criticism
from technology analysts and
Internet-advocacy groups to
news media and legal schol-
ars.

Democrats can both agree that
economic problems in North
Carolina are gushing.
The worst recession since
the Great Depression has
caused North Carolina to
make drastic spending cuts,
but the budget is still far from
balanced.
The bill is likely intended
to rally ultra-conservative vot-
ers to the polls in November.
But we do not believe that it
is worth disenfranchising an
entire demographic, espe-
cially considering that North
Carolina does not legally rec-
ognize gay marriage anyway.
According to the Center on
Budget Policy and Priorities,
the upcoming fiscal years are
shaping up to be extremely
tough, with a projected $2.4
billion shortfall in 2011-12 and
a $2 billion shortfall in 2012-
13.
Add these daunting num-
bers to a high unemployment
rate, a struggling housing
market and overall economic
unease. The board can only
conclude that legislators in
North Carolina must back
away from divisive social
issues, and focus on doing
what they were elected to do:
fix the economy first.
Tiemann, have written open
letters to Perdue imploring her
to veto the bill.
Only Gov. Perdue’s response
can rival Time Warner’s argu-
ment in its deception and
destruction.
Perdue needed only to
lift her oft-used veto pen to
protect her state from anti-
competitive corporations.
Instead, she issued a press
release stating to the legisla-
ture that North Carolinians
deserve fair access to broad-
band. From the other side
of her mouth, she effectively
told Time Warner to continue
to defraud her constituency.
Time Warner’s political
action committee directly
contributed $6,250 to
Perdue’s 2008 campaign,
according to the National
Institute on Money in State
Politics. While the donation
was paltry compared to the
$14.9 million she raised in
total, it still placed well above
the median contribution of
$250.
Rural North Carolinian
mill workers, farmers and
textile workers watched as the
Internet helped carry their
jobs abroad. In refusing to veto
this act, Perdue has shredded
their passports.
