News Wednesday, February 20, 2013 The Daily Tar Heel 8
By Emily Byrd
Staff Writer
For those involved with
the Global Poverty Project,
the 1.4 billion people living in
extreme poverty worldwide
represent 1.4 billion reasons
to take action.
The Global Poverty Project
took its message to UNCs
Student Union Tuesday as
part of a nationwide tour
to raise awareness about
extreme poverty.
The project aims to end
global poverty within one
generation.
Without awareness
there can be no action, said
Brittany Aubin, a presenter
for the Global Poverty Project.
Aubin is part of a four-
person group known as the
Road Scholars that is spend-
ing the next few months trav-
eling to more than 100 differ-
ent universities, high schools
and community groups across
the United States to share
the Global Poverty Projects
awareness campaign.
The goal of Aubins presen-
tation was to challenge the
assumption that the problem
of poverty cannot be solved.
Shannon Heath, another
road scholar, said it is the
duty of the youth to work to
absolve poverty.
Its the civil rights issue of
our generation, Heath said.
There is absolutely no reason
that over one billion people
should live in extreme poverty
when the majority do not. If
you say you believe in a certain
cause, you wont just stand
around and allow it to happen.
UNC nursing student Jamie
Glover attended the presenta-
tion because of her interest in
global public health.
It definitely provided some
good ideas on how to take care
of poverty and health care
problems on a global level,
which may help us crack this
on our smaller level, she said.
The project takes ideas
from the United Nations eight
Millennium Development
Goals, which it hopes to
achieve by 2015. The num-
ber one goal is to eradicate
extreme poverty and hunger.
But Aubin admitted that
the quest to end poverty has
met inefficiencies and unsuc-
cessful programs.
Im not going to overlook
the fact that there is bad aid
out there, Aubin said. But
good aid exists. It makes peo-
ple self-sufficient and builds
infrastructure that will exist
even when the aid is gone.
Heath said progress can be
made on these issues.
There are tools that you
and I everyday people
can use to make a difference
and help end extreme poverty
in our lifetimes.

Campaign to end
poverty visits UNC
On the wire: national and world news
Second term brings out
more relaxed Obama
WASHINGTON, D.C.
(MCT) Finally unburdened
by worries about running for
another election, President
Barack Obama is acting dif-
ferent these days.
Second-term Obama is
noticeably quicker to speak
his mind and get personal
on subjects he once avoided.
His schedule at times ignores
concerns about optics,
Washington-speak for what
voters might perceive.
On Friday, for example,
the president delivered an
unexpectedly personal, and
at times off-the-cuff, speech
in Chicago about the root
causes of urban violence. The
famously reserved president
spoke bluntly about the
Kenyan-born father whom he
barely knew, and his wayward
high school days in Hawaii.
I wish I had had a
father who was around and
involved, he said.
In the past, Obama typi-
cally wove the uplifting ver-
sion of his personal narrative
raised by a single mother,
loved by doting grandparents
into his campaign message.
He rarely admitted to having
issues, as he did in Chicago.
Obamas Valentines Day
date with first lady Michelle
Obama almost certainly
would have become cam-
paign fodder a few months
ago. The first couple went
to minibar, a Washington
restaurant so avant-garde it
doesnt use capital letters,
where the nightly prix fixe
dinner for two runs $450, not
including drinks, taxes and
tips, according to its website.
Thats more than a weeks pay
at the $9-per-hour minimum
wage Obama is advocating
(and which is unlikely to go
anywhere in Congress).
Presidential historians typi-
cally focus on the so-called sec-
ond-term curse, the seemingly
inevitable and usually self-cre-
ated calamity that befalls many
a president after re-election.
But historian Gil Troy says a
less-discussed phenomenon is
the second-term blessing.
Troy says presidents tend
to ease up, stop living by the
polls and start thinking about
their legacy.
Bowles and Simpson
unveil new deficit plan
WASHINGTON, D.C.
(MCT) Erskine Bowles and
Alan Simpson, who have been
pushing for a major deficit
reduction plan since co-chair-
ing a bipartisan commission
on fiscal reform, released a
new proposal Tuesday to cut
mct/Evandro InEttI
Pope Benedict XVI wears a hat
called a saturno at the Vatican
on June 15, 2011. He has
announced that he will step
down Feb. 28.
the nations debt by $2.4 tril-
lion over the next decade.
Called A Bipartisan
Path Forward to Securing
Americas Future, the plan
attempts to avoid the large
automatic spending cuts set
to hit March 1 while also deal-
ing with long-term debt driv-
ers such as Medicare.
The problem is real, the
solutions are painful, and
there is no easy way out, the
two said in a summary of
their plan. What we are call-
ing for is by no means perfect,
but it could serve as a mark
for real bipartisan negotia-
tions on a plan to reduce the
deficit and grow the economy.
It is time for our country
to put this ultra-partisanship
aside and pull together, not
apart, they said.
Bowles, a Democrat and
former White House chief
of staff under President Bill
Clinton, and Simpson, a
former Republican senator
from Wyoming, headed the
National Commission on Fiscal
Responsibility and Reform.
Bowles and Simpson
proposed a wide-ranging
deficit reduction plan, but the
commission did not agree to
adopt it in 2011.
The plan calls for reduc-
ing Medicare and Medicaid
spending by about $600 bil-
lion by, among other things,
raising premiums on high
earners.
Bowles and Simpson also
want to overhaul the tax code
by eliminating or scaling back
most deductions, using some
of the savings about $600
billion to reduce the deficit
and some to lower tax rates.
Robbers steal Belgian
diamonds worth millions
BRUSSELS (MCT)
Belgian police were on the
hunt Tuesday for a group of
thieves who made off with
diamonds worth millions of
dollars in a spectacular rob-
bery at the countrys main
airport.
The heavily armed men,
who were posing as police
officers, snatched an estimated
120 parcels from a diamond
shipment that was being
loaded from a Brinks security
truck onto a Switzerland-
bound plane on Monday eve-
ning, prosecutors said.
No shots were fired, and
no one was injured during
the robbery, which lasted only
about five minutes.
The gems are said to be
worth about $50 million,
Antwerp World Diamond
Centre spokeswoman Caroline
De Wolf told a Radio 1 broad-
caster, according to several
Flemish newspapers.
Early media reports had
mentioned a value of $467
million. The airport would
only say that valuable goods
had been stolen, while pros-
ecutors said they could not
confirm the value of the gems.
De Wolf said most of the
loot stemmed from Antwerp,
a city in northern Belgium
that is a global diamond
hub. It was not immediately
clear who their recipient was
meant to be.
The thieves broke through a
fence at the Zaventem airport
with two vehicles at 7:47 p.m.,
the airport said in a statement.
The black vehicles had
flashing blue lights, and each
carried four masked men
brandishing machine guns,
prosecution spokeswoman
Ine Van Wymersch said in
Brussels.
This was a well-prepared
action ... They are profes-
sionals, Van Wymersch said,
noting that no information
on the identity of the culprits
was available yet.

Kildares ocially changes ownership
dth/taylor sweet
Kildares Irish Pub is in the process of changing owners after being up for sale for three months.
Andrew Dawson took over as managing partner of the Chapel Hill location on Thursday.
By Jasmin Singh
Staff Writer
A popular Franklin Street
pub might officially change
hands later this month after
being on the market for three
months.
Andrew Dawson took over
Thursday as managing part-
ner of the Chapel Hill loca-
tion of Kildares Irish Pub.
Kildares Director of
Operations Dane Gray said
the company has been looking
for someone to buy the Chapel
Hill franchise which is one
of seven for a while.
Gray said ongoing con-
struction from the nearby
140 West retail and housing
development has prevented
potential buyers from taking
on the restaurant.
Construction for 140 West
began in January 2011, and it is
expected to wrap up in April.
We have been looking
for a new franchisee, but the
new construction on Franklin
Street has really been slowing
it down, Gray said.
He said potential buyers
were worried the construction
might deter customers from
frequenting the pub.
But Gray said business at
the restaurant hasnt been hurt
by the ongoing construction.
He said that while his com-
pany will entrust the franchise
to Dawson, it will continue to
be involved with the pub.
We will be selling it to a
franchisee, but we will con-
tinue to support it, Gray said.
Dawson said he started
working at the Kildares fran-
chise last week.
He said he was eager to get
started as a managing partner
for the pub.
I have a stake in this place
now, Dawson said.
He said he has opened
similar establishments in the
past, and when he was offered
the Kildares position, he had
to take it.
I thought Kildares has a
nice opportunity so I thought
it was a no-brainer, Dawson
said.

The pub has been

Trouble in paradise for Tar Heel golfers
By Dylan Howlett
Staff Writer
North Carolina mens golf
coach Andrew Sapp wants his
team to forget.
Forget the 12th place finish
in the Puerto Rico Classic
that showed the rust of a
team that hadnt played since
October.
Forget the erratic tee
shots and unsure swings that
haunted his team throughout
their three days in Puerto
Rico.
But forgetting isnt always
easy for a golfer, Sapp said.
You have to try to put it
behind you, Sapp said in
a phone interview before
his team boarded a plane
to Chapel Hill. You dont
expect to have amnesia and
forget the bad habits, and
remember the things youve
done well.
I think the problem you
have when your players play
poorly, oftentimes they focus
on the bad things and dont
think about some of the good
things.
As a team, the Tar Heels
couldnt boast many positives.
After collectively firing three-
over-par in the first round
Sunday and sitting in seventh
place, UNC quickly tumbled
down the leaderboard to
10th by the end of the second
round.
UNC finished in 12th
place out of 15 teams
in Puerto Rico.
Michael
McGowan, a
senior, scored
UNCs best
individual
performance
at the Puerto
rico Classic.
This is a golf
course that can eat
you alive and
it ate some of our
guys today.
Andrew Sapp,
North Carolina mens golf coach
Once I get my
roots settled in,
people will be sur-
prised at what they
will find.
Andrew Dawson,
managing partner of Kildares
for the transaction, said the
Franklin Street location was
listed for $650,000.
What you are buying is
a 17-year lease, but they are
selling equipment with it,
Spears said.
He said the transaction
has not been finalized due to
legal issues. When it is final-
ized, Dawson will be the new
franchisee.
The change in ownership
has caught some by surprise.
I didnt even know there
was new management, said
UNC sophomore Bailey
Barger, who recently started
working at Kildares.
Dawson said he hopes to
make minor changes to the
pub after he takes a couple of
months to settle in.
Ive been here five days, so
Im still trying to feel things
out, Dawson said.
Once I get my roots settled
in, people will be surprised at
what they will find.
He said he doesnt plan on
making any changes to the
Kildares staff, but he wants
to add more traditional food
items and more drink options
to the menu.
Dawson said he is focused
on good customer service, and
people should come out and
give the restaurant a chance.
Im promoting a good
establishment so people can
have a good pint of beer, good
cuisine and just have some
fun, Dawson said.
Contact the desk editor at
city@dailytarheel.com.
The team cratered in the
final round Tuesday, posting
the highest team score of
the day in a round that Sapp
called embarrassing.
Some bad shots on holes
with a lot of water and
trouble cost us a bunch today,
Sapp said.
Senior Michael McGowan
authored his teams best
individual performance,
finishing two-under-par and
T-16th. Only one other Tar
Heel Bailey Patrick (two-
over-par) placed within the
top 50 individual leaders.
McGowan said he saw a
lot of hesitant swings, which
made the Tar Heels February
trip to Puerto Rico far from
relaxing.
The senior standout
seemed poised to creep up
the leaderboard after birdies
on three of his first four holes
Tuesday. But after dropping
a shot on his seventh hole,
McGowan fell victim to the
same struggles that ailed his
teammates.
When you get off to a
good start, you expect to keep
going with that, McGowan
said. I made a terrible bogey
and I just never got it back.
Sapp said the layout at
Rio Mar Country Club was
very penal. The course
seemed particularly punitive
for the Tar Heels, whose
accuracy betrayed them as the
tournament wore on.
This is a golf course that
can eat you alive if youre not
hitting the ball well, and it ate
some of our guys today, Sapp
said.
Safely out of the belly of
the Rio Mar beast, McGowan
tasked his team and himself
with correcting the mistakes
that led them astray in Puerto
Rico.
Start more with the
basics, McGowan said on
improving the Tar Heels
play. I know everyone could
have played much better, and
everyone has to figure that
out once we start practicing.
For Sapp, moving forward
begins with forgetting
memories and to him, that
shouldnt be difficult.
Its the first tournament
of the spring. We havent
competed in a while. We need
to play a lot better than we
did, Sapp said.
Hopefully we ll put this
one behind us and improve in
our next tournament.

Century Center prioritizes accessibility
dth/brookelyn riley
Matthew Prusik trains with a service dog and Program Director
Deb Cunningham at Eyes Ears Nose and Paws in Carrboro.
HELP PROVIDE A DOG
Date: Prusik must raise
$6,000 in order to receive a
service dog. He is accepting
donations via YouCaring.
Info: bit.ly/W2Ctzz
By Elizabeth Bartholf
Staff Writer
On March 2, Matthew
Prusik will receive a new ser-
vice dog, giving the 28 year
old with muscular dystrophy
more independence.
But a lack of accessibility in
the Carrboro Century Center
where the ceremony is
being held almost kept him
from participating.
Prusik, an Apex resident,
uses a wheelchair in his daily
life. He is receiving the dog
from Eyes Ears Nose and
Paws a Carrboro nonprofit
that trains and places dogs
with people with disabilities.
Prusik began training with a
service dog this week in prepa-
ration for the ceremony.
But because the stage in
the Century Center is not
accessible via wheelchair,
Prusik thought he might not
be able to sit on stage during
the graduation.
On Tuesday, Carrboro
Town Manager David
Andrews confirmed in an
email to town officials that
they would be able to accom-
modate Prusik in the cer-
emony.
According to the email, the
town will rent a lift to allow
Prusik to sit on the stage.
Prusiks previous service
dog, Justice, died from cancer
four years ago.
He was everything to
me, Prusik said. Even when
Im lonely, I have the dog for
company.
His new service dog will be
trained to help with tasks that
can be difficult because of
Prusiks limited mobility, like
picking up objects, turning on
lights and opening doors.
It costs $20,000 to raise
and train each service dog,
and Prusik will be responsible
for paying $6,000 of that.
He has been selling cookie
ingredients and collecting
donations on his website to
raise money. As of Sunday,
Prusik had raised $1,655.
Though only two people
are graduating, the ceremo-
nies have drawn large crowds
in the past.
Maria Ikenberry, executive
director of the nonprofit, said
about 200 people attended
the last graduation in June.
She said her favorite part
of the graduation is seeing the
support for participants and
the organizations staff.
I know there are a lot of
people who come to the grad-
uations and tell me theres not
a dry eye in the house, she
said. I think they enjoy see-
ing this emotional side of the
connections happening with
the dogs.
Anita Jones-McNair,
Carrboro recreation and
parks director, said the town
is looking for a long-term
solution to the lack of accessi-
bility, like a permanent ramp
to the stage.
It would be a lot better for
the future, for other people
who are going to get service
dogs and other activities
there, Prusik said.
And Carrboro Alderman
Jacquelyn Gist said making
the Century Center accessible
is a priority.
We pride ourselves on
being a community where
everybody is supported and
everybody is included, she
said. You dont just do that
and its done. You constantly
make sure that is happening.

Students and families
nationwide are asking about
the value of a college degree
and both UNC and federal
officials say they could do
more to inform students about
post-graduation prospects.
In his State of the Union
address last week, President
Barack Obama announced a
revamped College Scorecard,
which provides informa-
tion to high school students
about costs and degree
offerings of various colleges
and universities.
Its part of a long-term
commitment which started
in 2005 to increase transpar-
ency and accountability in
higher education, said Mark
Schneider, vice president of
the American Institutes for
Research.
The College Scorecard is
available at whitehouse.gov.
Rachel Fishman, an edu-
cation policy analyst for the
New America Foundation,
said the scorecard is designed
to help students decide
whether the significant
investment of attending a col-
lege or university is worth it.
College has never been
more necessary nor more
expensive, she said. More
information is a move in the
right direction.
But the scorecard lacks
employment data, such as
expected salaries, potential
employment sectors and the
Obama revamps
College Scorecards
Group unites students
with disabilities
average time it takes students
to obtain a job after gradua-
tion, Schneider said.
UNC officials said pro-
spective students cannot
access employment pros-
pects via the scorecard,
which instead suggests they
contact the University for
that information.
The last box is employ-
ment outcomes, and it asks
UNC to give you data,
Schneider said.
But University Career
Services Director Ray Angle
said UNC does a good job of
providing data to students.
I cant give out confiden-
tial data, but I can say our
graduates in this major in
the past five, six, seven years
worked for these organiza-
tions, Angle said.
He said one resource is the
First Destination Survey at the
UNC Career Services website.
The survey provides infor-
mation not available through
the scorecard, including where
graduates work, their salaries,
when they accepted their first
offer of an after-college job
and their career satisfaction.
Angle said the survey does
not reach as many students
as he would like because it is
only available online.
Fishman said both UNC
and the U.S. government
could provide employment
information to more students.
It would be better if we
could regulate it through
legislation, she said. Like

One group of UNC stu-
dents feels that its voice has
gone unheard but the
new student organization
Advocates for Carolina seeks
to remedy that problem.
The group, started by
junior Katie Savage, aims to
bring students with disabili-
ties together and give them a
voice on campus.
Savage, who has a pros-
thetic leg, came up with the
idea for the group in August.
It met for the first time this
semester.
Savage said she was sur-
prised by the lack of represen-
tation for students with dis-
abilities when she transferred
to UNC in the fall.
I asked student services
if there was any group on
campus for students with dis-
abilities, she said.
When she learned there
was not, she set out to create
the group herself.
The group welcomes any
student who feels that he or
she can benefit from the group.
Its not just for students
with disabilities its for
students who are impacted as
well, Savage said.
Junior Kevin Currin, a
member of the group who is
blind, said there are many
problems on campus that
could be easily fixed.
Currin said he feels that
the campus has facets that
make daily life difficult
for the visually impaired.
Accessibility to CCI printing
and dining halls has been dif-
ficult, he said.
Members of the group also
expressed concern about the
lack of training for faculty on
addressing the needs of stu-
dents with disabilities.
Junior Joey Bozik, a mem-
ber who is in a wheelchair,
said teachers need to balance
the fact that he has a disabil-
ity with the fact that he still
deserves equal treatment.
Bozik said he also needs to
learn how to do the same.
I need to learn how to bal-
ance that I want you to respect
me as an individual dont
treat me like Im handicapped,
Bozik said. But keep in mind
that I am in a wheelchair.
Sophomore Sarah Burnett,
a member of the group who is
dyslexic, said professors need

QUOTE OF THE DAY
FEATUrED OnlinE rEADEr cOmmEnT
Talk about patriarchy
with anarchy group
TO THE EDITOR:
Tuesdays DTH edito-
rial Anarchy alarm is
right to describe the van-
dalism against Chi Psi
as nothing more than a
violent reaction: Theres
no group claiming it, least
of all us anarchists in
UNControllables.
Therefore, condemning
it really misses the point.
Readers would be better
served by trying to under-
stand what would drive
people to lash out against
symbols of patriarchy.
Many of us are all too
familiar with how it feels
to be constantly harassed
walking down the streets of
Chapel Hill.
A broken window is a
modest act of vengeance
compared to the daily real-
ity of catcalling, homopho-
bia and sexual assault per-
petrated by college men in
Chapel Hill.
Whether certain incidents
can be linked to specific fra-
ternities is not the issue.
The anonymous War on
Society (a news blog, not a
group) communique refer-
enced in Anarchy alarm
is a generalization against
fraternities, because patri-
archy is generalized.
Patriarchy is pervasive yet
invisible. Violence done by
privileged men against those
with less privilege nearly
always goes unnoticed.
When that violence is
returned upwards, it is
hypocritically treated with
shock and horror.
For the past year the
DTH has been exposing
UNCs complicity in a cul-
ture of sexual violence.
It should be no surprise
that some people chose not
to wait for courts, police
and University investiga-
tions to fight back for them.
To actually engage with
some real, live anarchists
rather than anonymous
internet comments, come
visit the UNControllables
table in the pit Thursday
from 12:30 p.m. to 2 p.m.

Seniors, life doesnt

TO THE EDITOR:
This time a year ago, I
was a graduating senior in
the midst of battle bat-
tling the daily urge to go to
Topo instead of class, wag-
ing war against reality and
preparing to fight anyone
who asked the dreaded
question: What are you
doing after graduation?
Today, I am happily
employed by a company
that will be represented
Thursday at your spring
career fair.
And whether youre a
forward-thinking fresh-
man or a lazy senior that
wakes up in a dead panic

end in May, I want to set

The
privilege
behind
privacy
T
here are some things
in todays society that
we take completely for
granted. We feel entitled, more
so than ever before, to these
certain privileges, and we
expect the government and the
people around us to bend over
backward in deference.
Now Im not talking about
financial entitlements, about
welfare and handouts and
various other things that feed
young children and send
young adults off to school.
Im talking about something
that might seem a little incon-
sequential in comparison:
privacy.
People talk about it today
as if it is a basic moral right,
constantly being threatened by
corporations and journalists
that want to learn your creepi-
est, juiciest secrets.
People should be able to live
life free from excessive intru-
sion or obstruction, unlike, for
example, how many celebrities
are forced to live.
But is there really some kind
of universal human right to be
able to keep secrets and hide
my retail preferences from
friends? And can we really
hold the government respon-
sible for protecting it?
We obsess over Facebook
and Google and the way
they sell data and scan our
emails, but this seems to speak
more to an irrational fear of
Terminator-esque computer
domination than a real prob-
lem of individual privacy or
security.
Perhaps people are creeped
out by targeted ads and the
idea of a robot reading their
intimate Facebook chat con-
versations, but does this really
infringe on their rights? How
do targeted ads limit their
freedom, and whats the prob-
lem with a computer in China
knowing if my uncle has breast
cancer?
If the targeted ads some-
times expose things Id rather
them not, thats my own prob-
lem. I do not and should not
have a constitutional right to
subscribe to an exotic porn site
without any chance of some-
one finding out.
I do understand why people
like privacy; I understand the
appeal.
But we put so much of our
personal energy into fight-
ing for it and our government
energy in protecting it, that we
overlook the fact that so many
both inside and outside of
our society are deprived of
fundamental human rights like
food and shelter.
Our priorities could not
be more backward. And even
as we irrationally insist upon
privacy for ourselves, we feel
no qualms about hypocritically
depriving others of it. Privacy,
which in practice is more of a
socioeconomic privilege than a
right, is the first thing that we
strip from people when they
slip down the social hierarchy.
Without property, these
neglected individuals, already
victimized by our twisted pri-
orities, are left with no private
space in which to live and
consequently no real privacy to
speak of. Thus we leave these
individuals on the street as if
on display.
What kind of society has
a federally guaranteed and
safeguarded right to have petty
family squabbles in private but
doesnt properly feed, shelter
or educate all its children?

Participate in day of
student philanthropy
TO THE EDITOR:
On Feb. 28, UNC will
join nearly 70 educational
institutions worldwide to
participate in the first-ever
Student Engagement and
Philanthropy Day.
The initiative, organized
by CASE Affiliated Student
Advancement Programs
(CASE ASAP), is designed to
increase student understand-
ing of philanthropy and grow
engagement on campuses.
Institutions from the
U.S., England, Canada,
Australia and other coun-
tries will participate in
the event through various
activities, including thank-
a-thons, daylong social
media campaigns and stu-
dent video interviews on
what giving means to them.
The Heelraisers Council
will host a student engage-
ment day, coined Carolina
Pride Day, on campus to
promote the importance of
philanthropy and the pivotal
role students play in the act
of supporting the University.
It will be hosted in con-
junction with the senior
marshals. Students, faculty
and staff will be encouraged
to wear Carolina gear in
preparation for the inaugu-
ral CarolinaDuke Senior
Campaign Challenge that
will end the following Friday.
CASE ASAP provides
programming, services and
resources in advancement,
including fundraising and
alumni relations, for stu-
dents and advisers at stu-
dent alumni associations,
student foundations and
similar organizations at col-
leges and universities that
are members of the Council
for Advancement and
Support of Education.
Student Engagement and
Philanthropy Day is part
of CASE ASAPs goal to
foster and enhance student
involvement in all areas of
advancement including
fundraising, alumni rela-
tions, communications and
marketing.

T
heres nothing
sweet about getting
screwed out of a
super suite.
The students who
camped out to be first to
sign up for the Morrison
Residence Hall super suites
should have been awarded
first-come, first-served
status despite the recent
decision by the Department
of Housing and Residential
Education to distribute
super suites based on a
lottery system, which was
administered Tuesday.
For the past several
years, students have been
camping out in order to
secure their place at the
Out in the cold
EDiTOriAl
head of the line to sign up.
Though there has been no
official policy for camping
out, the housing depart-
ment has condoned it in
the past.
The housing
department notified
students of the change in
policy a day after many
had already set up tents
outside of the residence
hall, saying that the
decision had only been put
in place that week.
Its reasonable for the
housing department to
decide that it no longer
wants students camping
outside the Morrison com-
munity office for a week.
There have been reports
of bullying in the past, and
the increasing number
of campers does create a
level of hindrance for the
residents and workers of
Morrison.
But its hard to believe
the housing department
couldnt have notified
students sooner.
In 2012 students began
camping out six days
prior to the selection
date of Feb. 28, 2012.
The housing department
has had nearly a year to
change its policy.
Students were willing to
camp out the full six days
necessary to secure a super
suite and were operating
under a system that the
housing department had
tacitly accepted for the past
several years.
Students deserve to be
notified of changes in pol-
icy before they make good
faith efforts to abide by
soon-to-be outdated rules.
The super suite
campers deserve
priority placement.

Dual Language
Magnet School is a wel-
come and needed addition
to Chapel Hill-Carrboro
City Schools.
The new magnet school
will operate on a mixed
Spanish-English curricu-
lum focusing on a 90/10
language model. This
model would push students
to speak 90 percent of the
time using a foreign lan-
guage. While programs like
this are fairly new, it is clear
that there are benefits both
in school and later in life.
In an increasingly
interconnected world, it is
Un nuevo tipo de escuela
EDiTOriAl
essential for the nations
youth to learn more than
one language.
In a school like the new
Frank Porter Graham, stu-
dents are forced to learn
in a way that not only
teaches a language, but
teaches a different way of
thinking about the world.
By learning to be pro-
ficient in reading, writing
and speaking in two lan-
guages, students have the
chance to gain a competi-
tive advantage at a young
age. Dual-language pro-
grams also give students
the opportunity to develop
the cultural knowledge
needed to succeed in a
diverse world.
The benefits of the new
magnet school dont stop
at the students. Staff for
the new program will
receive special train-
ing that will help them
develop innovative ways of
teaching. This additional
training could prove to
be a way to attract more
high-level talent to an
already top-tier school
system.
The school district
should also be applauded
for creating a transition
team made up of parents
and staff. It is essential
for a new program like
this to have the input of
more than just the district
administrators. By involv-
ing parents, the district
can gain a new perspective
on the transition.
The new program ben-
efits students, teachers
and the school district by
providing a competitive
advantage going forward.
Dual-language
program will
benefit students.
C
arrboros insis-
tence on filling
the vacancy on
its Board of Aldermen
through a special election
has long been confusing.
Every other municipal-
ity in North Carolina fills
vacancies such as the cur-
rent one through appoint-
ment as did Carrboro
until 2007.
The fact that the spe-
cial election will cost the
town about $11,000 is
even more ludicrous now
that only one candidate,
Damon Seils, has filed to
run for the seat.
The town will now be
paying all that money for
Opportunity cost
EDiTOriAl
an election that the board
itself could have filled at
virtually no additional
cost to the taxpayers.
That $11,000 could
have been better spent in a
variety of areas, including:
Pay the entire reno-
vation fee for two units
at Collins Crossing
Apartments.
Pay for the vast major-
ity of the operating costs of
the towns Advisory Boards
and Commissions.
Sponsor 32 poor
Haitian children for a year.
Pay for a Carrboro res-
ident to attend UNC for a
semester at no charge.
Buy two gumballs
for every man, woman
and child in the town of
Carrboro.
Pay 2 Live Crew to
play a show, with money
left over for a popcorn
machine to feed hungry
concertgoers.
Or invite Marty Balin
of 70s psychedelic rock
band Jefferson Airplane if
thats more your style.
Rename 550 stars in
space. No need to be cre-
ative, just name them all
Starrboro.
Buy a Fudgie the
Whale ice cream cake for
500 lucky Carrboro resi-
dents.
Purchase 176,000
pingpong balls. Just for
fun.
Buy a 92 Cadillac El
Dorado and then spend
the remaining $9,500 on
free-range, organic, no-
cage, locally grown kale
for a town kale cook-off.
Wait, this idea might actu-
ally take off
Carrboro alderman
special election
wastes money.
