The Daily Tar Heel For Sept. 18, 2014

By Kate Grise
Senior Writer
The average North Carolina
college student graduates with
nearly $24,000 in debt and N.C.
Attorney General Roy Cooper wants
to make sure they know how to man-
age that burden after graduation.
Cooper kicked off a College Cash
and Credit Tour on Sept. 8 at High
Point University, speaking to students
about becoming smarter consumers.
Taking the time to learn how
to be a smarter consumer now will
pay off for years to come, Cooper
said at the event, according to a
statement from the North Carolina
Department of Justice.
Speculation has surrounded
Cooper in recent months on his pos-
sible run for North Carolina gover-
nor in 2016. Ferrel Guillory, a UNC
journalism professor and director of
the Program on Public Life, said it is
relatively clear Cooper has emerged
as the leading Democratic opponent
of Gov. Pat McCrory.
His initiative about students and
credit cards hes still the attorney
general and he has to do his job,
Guillory said. Doing his job is one
of the ways candidates run for office.
You build a record.
He said the attorney generals
office has had a consumer protection
division going back several decades,
which advocates for consumers on
issues with utility bills, power rates
and other consumer troubles.
The tour will continue through
five other campuses statewide,
including Queens University, Shaw
University, East Carolina University,
UNC-Pembroke and Cape Fear
Community College.
At each stop, experts from the
consumer protection division and vic-
tims services section will speak with
students about managing loan debt,
avoiding repayment scams, establish-
ing good credit history and protecting
themselves from identity theft.
About 40 students attended
the kick-off event at High Point
University, which was held in junc-
Serving UNC students and the University community since 1893
I dont have respect for a man who puts his hands on a woman. At all.

Students who approached Carolina Computing
Initiative printing stations expecting to swipe their
UNC One Cards and print assignments were in for
an unpleasant surprise Wednesday the system
was down for eight hours during prime class time.
All CCI printers across campus failed begin-
ning around 9 a.m., and the problem was com-
pletely resolved around 5 p.m., said Jeremiah
Joyner, Teaching and Learning Interactive man-
ager for Information Technology Services.
The failure came from an uncommon commu-
nication error between the system that receives
student print jobs and the system where students
can pay for their print jobs, Joyner said.
There hasnt been an outage this long for a
while, Joyner said.
Other options for printing on campus were
available to students, all of which forced them to
pay out of pocket for their print jobs during the
time that CCI Printing was down.
Signs on the CCI printers in the
Undergraduate Library urged students to take
their print jobs to the UNC Print Stop, located on
the third floor of Student Stores.
There has been a constant line of customers,
Lydia Thompson, a senior and sales associate at
the UNC Print Stop said around 3:30 p.m. Its
hard to keep track of them all.
Customers normally send in their orders online
and then come in to pick them up, rather than
forming a long line at the front desk like the one
that was seen Wednesday.
Lots of people have small orders, like two
pages for 11 cents, and are charging it to their
credit card, so Im not sure how much profit were
actually making, Thompson said.
Glenn Hayslett, assistant head of circulation at
Davis Library, said the circulation desk at Davis
had also experienced an influx of inquiries.
(Weve gotten questions from) pretty much
everyone who comes to print, and thats a lot,
Hayslett said.
He said Davis has a guest printer that anyone
can use that was working Wednesday, but stu-
dents had to pay for their print jobs on this print-
er with money from their expense accounts.
I feel like the CCI printers never work, and
when they do work, they always lag, Sophomore
Shantell McLaggan said. Im in a lot of classes
which require reading, which is a lot of paper. Im
a Covenant Scholar, so I dont have money just to
be throwing around.

Nationally, students battle credit transfer policies
By Blair Burnett
Staff Writer
When Carlos Cordero, a 29-year-old
junior transfer, came to UNC as a full-time
student this fall, he felt welcomed on cam-
pus immediately.
Cordero, a staff sergeant in the U.S.
Army, transferred from Fayetteville
Technical Community College after com-
pleting his associates degree through the
Carolina Student Transfer Excellence
Program, which gives students a path
through community college to UNC and
ensures they get the credits they need.
(My adviser) would align what you were
taking at Fayetteville Tech with what would
transfer over here, so I wouldnt have to
take extra classes, Cordero said.
While regional programs like C-STEP
are beneficial for students like Cordero, for
many transfer students, the transition to
UNC and to other schools nationwide
is not as seamless.
An August study from the National Center
for Education Statistics found that 39 per-
cent of transfer students nationwide arrive at
their new institution with no transfer credits.
When there are problems in higher educa-
tion, we typically blame the institutions, said
Sean Simone, the reports author. Its not the
institutions. They, along with students, have a
legitimate interest in making the credit trans-
fer process as seamless as possible.
Katie Cartmell, UNCs transfer student
retention coordinator, said she does not see
problems of credit transfer at UNC on the
scale Simone released in his report. But she
said the challenges of being a transfer stu-
dent persist at any university.
Theres such a thing as transfer shock,
she said. It hits students academically and
socially, in whatever transfer path they take.
She said the average grade point average
of a transfer student before coming to UNC is
3.7, but when students transfer their GPA falls
significantly. For junior transfers who come
from community colleges or four-year institu-
tions, their average GPA averages around 2.9
by the end of their first year at UNC.
Tomiko Hackett, a UNC senior who
transferred as a sophomore from Rutgers
University in New Jersey, said her initial
transition to UNC was difficult.
I went to academic advising and other
administrators, but I would still walk away
feeling really lost, Hackett said. I really
had to advocate for myself as a transfer
student, and I feel like other transfers on
campus feel the same way.
As an out-of-state student, Hackett said

Renovations delay fraternity hire
By Jane Wester
Assistant University Editor
Chi Phi is renovating its house to
provide living quarters for a live-in
house director whose presence has
been required by national sanctions.
Though the sanctions were
imposed by the national Chi Phi
fraternity in March, the hiring
deadline has now been extended to
January 2015 to accommodate for
the renovation process.
In the interim, a newly-formed
alumni advisory board is providing
visible support for Chi Phi members,
said a spokesman for the chapter.
The search is underway, and the
renovations have started to ensure
the house is in good condition and
ready for a full-time live-in resi-
dent, the spokesman said.
Aaron Bachenheimer, Director
of Fraternity and Sorority Life and
Community Involvement, said
alumni advisory boards are com-
mon for UNC fraternities, but no
other fraternity has a live-in house
adviser.

Chi Phis national organization
recommended the chapter establish
a separate advisory board in addition
to the board of its house founda-
tion, a change Bachenheimer said
he thinks is a good practice for any
fraternity.
Fields Pierce, chairman of the
Greek Judicial Board, said his own
fraternitys advisory board provides
indirect support for financial and
social planning, but alumni advisory
boards may work differently for each
fraternity.
When Greek Judicial Board
hearings concluded in May, Pierce
said Chi Phi would be tried by
UNCs Standards Review Board
when it meets in the fall.
Kenan Lee Drum, president of the
Interfraternity Council and member
of the Standards Review Board, said
he cannot comment on an ongoing
investigation. Bachenheimer also
declined to comment.
The house renovations will
include at least one other change.
The footprint will not be
expanded, but theyre adding a new
womens restroom, a dedicated
womens restroom, the chapter
spokesman said.
Chi Phi will have until
January to hire a live-in
adviser for its house.

short of the end zone, with the football
landing between two fences.

impromptu haircut. According to The Richmond Times-Dispatch, police
say the man got into his car with the woman, with whom he was plan-
ning to travel, then asked for her car keys so he could put a letter in her
vehicle for her to read later. Police said the woman handed over the keys,
after which the man asked for a hug and took the opportunity to chop off
her long ponytail in the process. Doesnt sound like this amateur stylist
deserves a very generous tip.

A new American Insights
poll on gay marriage shows the
tide has turned on the issue for
North Carolina voters some-
what. They dont want courts
deciding on legal gay marriage.
Among registered voters,
there is an even split, at 46
percent, on approval and dis-
approval of gay marriage.
North Carolinas ban on
gay marriage passed in 2012
by a 61-39 margin though
Pearce Godwin, insights
director of American Insights,
said overall public opinion
at the time was closer to a 55
percent approval of the ban.
Those opposed to gay
marriage and in favor of
Amendment One did a better
job turning out voters on their
side, Godwin said.
Higher approval of gay
marriage in the state mirrors
momentum nationwide. A
recent Gallup poll found 55
percent nationally supports it.
Still, by more than two-
to-one, those surveyed by
American Insights said they
believe the voting public
should decide on the issue.
Though voters in four states
voiced their support of gay
marriage through ballot ques-
tions in 2012, most recent
activity on gay marriage bans
has been in court.
Since North Carolina vot-
ers were the last in any state to
pass a constitutional gay mar-
riage ban, and did so recently,
Godwin said, they might be
more protective of their ability
to vote on the issue themselves.
There is speculation that the
Supreme Court will take up a
gay marriage case in the 2014-
15 term, so there could be a
verdict on the issue by June.

Injury research center gets CDC grant
By Victoria Mirian
Staff Writer
A UNC research center has received a maxi-
mum grant allowance of $4.5 million from the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention a
continuation of funding to conduct four studies
about preventing various types of injuries.
The UNC Injury Prevention Research
Center applied for the award in the fall of 2013
and received the grant Aug. 1.
The injury center selected four projects that
can have an impact on public safety out of about
24 contenders to be included in its proposal, said
Steve Marshall, director of the injury center.
Our theme was to do great research and
put it in the hands of people so (the research)
can make a difference, Marshall said.
Kevin Guskiewicz, senior associate dean for
the natural sciences, and co-principal investiga-
tor Jason Mihalik will research safe high school
football tackling practices and present their
results at high schools in a three-year program,
said Guskiewicz, who has previously received
CDC funding to research sports injuries.
This time, I think they viewed this as
a unique extension of our ongoing work,
Guskiewicz said.
Another three-year program is being led
by Laura Linnan, director of the Carolina
Collaborative for Research on Work and
Health. Linnans project, called Beauty is a
Balancing Act, will use beauty salons and bar-
ber shops to distribute information about inju-
ries from falls and preventative programs.
Linnan believes that spreading information
to customers will encourage them to attend
fall prevention clinics.
We know if we get them to participate, it
can help them, she said.
UNC health behavior adjunct professor
Christopher Ringwalt will look into the prescrip-
tion drug-monitoring program in the state to
determine if recently mandated changes in state
law have affected prescription drug abuse.
Robert Foss, a health behavior lecturer, will
begin a study in 2017 to see if drivers license
laws negatively affect racial minorities and eco-
nomically disadvantaged teenagers.
Nobody has taken the bull by the horns
and decided to do this before, he said.
Foss explained that economically disadvan-
taged teens might not have a parent figure at
home to teach them to drive.
The reason we do this is because we
care about adolescent injuries, Foss said.
Researchers are curious about how things
works and how things can work better.
UNCs Injury Prevention Research Center
is one of three programs at universities around
the country that received a grant from the
CDC this fall. The University of Pennsylvania
received startup funding, while UNC and
Johns Hopkins both received comprehensive
funding. The UNC research center has been

SOUTHERN SMASH A HIT
DTH/NICOLE BASILE
Juniors Amanda Roth (left) and Emili Hall participated in Southern Smash on Wednesday. The event was hosted by UNC Panhellenic Council beside Davis Library.
Students smashed scales to challenge body image issues
By Tyler Fleming
Staff Writer
Students attacked eating disorders with
sledgehammers and baseball bats outside
Davis Library Wednesday afternoon.
Participants in Southern Smash, an event
held to raise awareness for social stigmas
surrounding body image and support orga-
nizations at UNC, were invited to write down
negative opinions of themselves, tie them
to balloons and let them go. Students then
used bats and hammers to demolish personal
weight scales.
McCall Dempsey, the founder of Southern
Smash, said the groups mission was not solely
to raise awareness of disorders but also to pro-
mote self-confidence.
Our mission is to bring attention to not
only eating disorders but also positive body
image as well, Dempsey said.
Organizers invited participants to reflect
on what oppresses them and what they love
about themselves.
Between 10 and 20 percent of college-aged
women and four and 10 percent of college-
aged men suffer from eating disorders in
America and more suffer from poor body
image, according to Embody Carolina, a UNC-
based eating disorder support group.
The event was sponsored by Carolina
House, the UNC Center of Excellence for
Eating Disorders, Embody Carolina and the
UNC Panhellenic Council. The groups also
held an informational dialogue with students.
Senior Chloe Paterson thought UNC stu-
dents would be especially susceptible to eating
disorders.
Carolina students face a lot of pressure to
be perfect, and that doesnt help, she said.
Stephanie Zerwas, assistant research pro-
fessor for the UNC Center of Excellence for
Eating Disorders agreed, saying college stu-
dents can be prone to developing a disorder.
For much of the event, nearly all of the
Southern Smash participants were female,
though organizers emphasized that men can
also develop a disorder.
A common misconception is eating disor-
ders only affect rich, vain, white girls. Eating
disorders do not discriminate; people of all
backgrounds struggle, Zerwas said. A lot of
guys are out there struggling with eating dis-
orders but have no one to turn to or feel like
they are the only ones.
Sophomore Mackensie Kvalvik, a Zumba
fitness instructor, said body image is a univer-
sal issue.
Everyone has thought their body wasnt
good enough, she said.
On-campus support options include
Embody Carolina, which trains students on
how to help friends with eating disorders, and
the Center of Excellence for Eating Disorders,
which treats victims and conducts research on
biological factors that lead to the disorders.
McCall was satisfied with how the event
turned out.
If we have planted a seed of hope, then we
have done our job, McCall said.
Tarheel
Takeout
cashes out
By Su Cho
Staff Writer
After a Tarheel Takeout manager
was robbed at gunpoint, the found-
ers of the popular delivery service
have had to evaluate the services
payment options.
The takeout service no longer
offers the option to pay with cash.
Tarheel Takeout delivers food to stu-
dents from restaurants that do not
offer delivery services.
The companys founders, Wes
Garrison and Charles Douthitt, said
the well-being and safety of the driv-
ers was one reason for the removal
of the cash payment option. The
founders said there have not been
any other safety incidents.
Garrison and Douthitt also
made the choice to stop accepting
cash because they said it was time-
consuming, expensive and difficult
to track.
Often customers at the door
wouldnt have cash or enough cash,
Garrison said. It was frustrating for
the drivers.
Garrison and Douthitt tested the
change, finding that most custom-
ers actually used their credit cards
instead of cash anyway.
Garrison said the change hasnt
affected business.
In the beginning we were scared
of how much of our business would
go away, but statistically we have not
lost any business, he said.
They did receive a small number
of complaints, mostly from older
people, but according to Garrison
and Douthitt, there were a larger
number of people who were happy
with the change.
Most of the restaurants associ-
ated with Tarheel Takeout were not
affected by the new policy.
Parker Emmerson, office man-
ager at Mediterranean Deli, said he
hadnt noticed any change in busi-
ness but that he personally is against
the policy.
Not speaking for the restaurant,
but on a personal standpoint, by
not accepting cash, we are moving
towards a cashless society in gen-
eral, which places more government
control and restrictions on personal
finance, Emmerson said.
Laura Rolleri, shift manager at
The Loop Pizza Grill, did not know
about Tarheel Takeouts new policy
at all. She said it hasnt affected
business at The Loop.
We get at least 100 or more
orders a week from Tarheel
Takeout, she said.
Neither The Loop nor
Mediterranean Deli offer other
delivery options, and neither man-
agers said they had received com-
plaints about Tarheel Takeout no
longer offering cash.
Freshman Layla Namak has never
used Tarheel Takeout but knows
about the services the company
offers.
If I ever wanted to, Id still use
Tarheel Takeout, Namak said.
The no-cash policy does not
affect me at all. I guess it would only
be difficult when you are ordering
with multiple people and you want
to split the bill in cash.
Both Garrison and Douthitt
believe this change in policy makes
Tarheel Takeout more efficient and
modern.
We can deliver our orders faster
and more correctly, Garrison said.
We changed so we can give
better service instead of spending
time doing things like counting
money.

payments.
Hughes, defense looking for a second chance
By Pat James
Assistant Sports Editor
Travis Hughes, North Carolina
senior outside linebacker, sat on the
bleachers at Navy Field Wednesday
following practice holding his hel-
met in his hands.
With his facemask not hiding
most of his face like it typically does,
the lone senior of the UNC lineback-
ing corps spoke to the media flash-
ing his signature energetic smile.
But with the mere mention of
2013s game against East Carolina,
a 55-31 trouncing by the Pirates at
Kenan Memorial Stadium, Hughes
grin disappears, his brow furrows.
Hughes led the UNC defense
against ECU with nine total tackles,
two for a loss. But UNCs overall
performance specifically the
defenses wiped away his smile
on that day, too.
I cant even try to take credit for
anything as far as tackling, because
we lost, Hughes said. And at the end
of the day, stats dont matter in that
game after you see that scoreboard.
Now, with a chance for revenge
looming, the UNC defense needs
energy, specifically from Hughes,
to contain the high-octane ECU
offense in Greenville Saturday.
Ron West, a co-defensive coor-
dinator and linebackers coach,
said Hughes ability to energize the
defense is crucial for UNC, which has
forced nine turnovers thus far.
Hes a very competitive guy, very
hard-nosed. Hes a physical player,
West said. He brings what I call a
great energy to our football team.
A very positive energy, and a very
hard-nosed energy.
In 2013s showdown, UNC
lacked that energy, as the Pirates
offense amassed 603 total yards
the second most ever allowed by
the Tar Heels in Kenan on 101
plays, the most plays an opposing
team has ever run against UNC.
Linebacker Jeff Schoettmer said
the Pirates pure domination in all
phases was due to UNC coming out
flat and unfocused.
Schoettmer said Hughes vivacity
is vital to avoid the same blunders
from plaguing the team on the road.
Travis is one of those guys that
Its been almost a year
since East Carolina
stunned the Tar Heels.
DTH FILE/CHRIS CONWAY
Travis Hughes, the lone senior linebacker on the North Carolina football team,
hopes to quell an ECU offense that scored 55 points against UNC in 2013.
just brings energy in everything he
does, whether its in the weight room,
on the field, anything, he said. You
can watch him during game day and
during pre-game warmups hitting his
head, jumping around and getting
everyone fired up.
UNC faces the tough task of limit-
ing ECU quarterback Shane Carden,
who recorded 427 passing yards and
three touchdowns last week against
then No. 17 Virginia Tech.
While many doubt the UNC
defense, which ranks 89th nationally
against the pass, Hughes is confident.
The same smile returns.
Playing ECU, that rivalry we have
and being looked at as we are right
now is a great position, Hughes said.
I feel like as a senior, thats my prior-
ity right now to make sure every-
bodys out here and ready to go.

Hungry students nd help at TABLE
By Morgan Swift
Staff Writer
Hundreds of Chapel Hill-
Carrboro elementary school
students do not have to worry
about going hungry on the
weekends, thanks to the non-
profit organization TABLE.
TABLEs Weekend Meal
Backpack program, which
feeds students in need, begins
again today. About 31 per-
cent of Chapel Hill-Carrboro
elementary school children
receive subsidized school
lunches and breakfasts.
For those children, that
usually means going hungry
on weekends.
TABLEs goal is provide
healthy and nutritious food to
students in need, said Ashton
Chatham Tippins, TABLEs
executive director.
One of our big goals is to
serve 325 kids each week,
Tippins said.
TABLE served 12 students
during the first week of the
Weekend Meal Backpack
program when it launched
in 2008, said Laura Moore,
TABLEs program director.
TABLE has expanded its
reach to more after school
centers and nonprofit organi-
zations this year, Tippins said.
As of now, the organization
serves four local elementary
schools and hopes to serve as
many as seven in the future.
The number of families
receiving food and nutrition
services more than doubled
between 2008 and 2014,
according to data compiled
by the Chapel Hill-Carrboro
Chamber of Commerce.
TABLE gets connected
to students in need through
elementary schools, after-
school programs and organi-
zations like Empowerment
Inc., which helps people find
affordable housing options.
Sarita Nwachukwu, head
of community programs at
Empowerment Inc., said they
serve as a liaison between stu-
dents in need and TABLE.
We work with a lot of
low-income families through
our community outreach pro-
gram, she said. A lot of our
tenants meet the criteria for
free or subsidized lunch.
Empowerment has been
able to connect TABLE with
10 students in need this
school year, Nwachukwu said.
I know parents have been
really excited about the qual-
ity of the food, Nwachukwu
said. The kids are able to eat
well over the weekend.
The Weekend Meal
Backpack program and
SnackChef, another TABLE
initiative, have helped stu-
dents discover healthy foods
they can add to their diets.
Moore said TABLEs
SnackChef program teaches
kids to try healthy new foods.
The program sends volunteers
to after-school programs where
they teach kids how to prepare
simple, healthy snacks. Later,
the children are sent home
with the ingredients.
Most of the food comes
from donations of nonperish-
able goods, Moore said. Maple
View Farm and the Carrboro
Farmers Market donate items
to the students, Moore said.
Tippins said one of the
most heartwarming memories
she has from her work with
TABLE is from last winter
during a snowstorm.
We were trying to distribute
a lot of food quickly because
school would be canceled for
a few days, Tippins said. We
went to one apartment, and the
little girl turned to her sister
and said, See, I told you they
would come.

Folk, country, garage rock combine in show
By Kelly Cook
Staff Writer
Banjos, mandolins and
acoustic guitars will col-
laborate tonight at Local 506.
Goodnight, Texas will perform
with special guests The Bones
of J.R. Jones and Less Is More,
combining traditional folk with
bluegrass, garage rock and a
sprinkling of operatic vibrato.
I hope that they real-
ize that it is okay and good
to rage to banjo music on
Thursday night, said Patrick
Dyer Wolf, one of Goodnight,
Texass lead singers.
Wolf formed the self-
described garage-Appala-
chian quartet in 2011 while
maintaining a long-term
musical collaboration with
fellow singer Avi Vincour
between San Francisco and
Chapel Hill. The band was
officially born when the sing-
ers found a town exactly
halfway between their homes
called Goodnight, Texas.
Wolf spent four years play-
ing in and around Chapel Hill
before moving to New York,
but he always focused on devel-
oping his sound with Vincour.
The bands sound is derived
from garage rock and acoustic
folk, a mixture Wolf said cre-
ates a heavy bluegrass vibe.
We started as a duo doing
Simon & Garfunkel-type
harmonies on acoustic songs,
Wolf said. We dont play
any electric guitars, but we
try to hit hard if we can with
our banjos and our acoustic
guitars.
Goodnight, Texas new
album Uncle John Farquhar
was released in August, and
Wolf said the band is look-
ing forward to playing new
songs including Button Your

More. The group describes their music as a combination of folk country and garage rock music.
Collar and the upbeat, banjo-
laced track A Bank Robbers
Nursery Rhyme.
Wolf said he and Vincour
are excited to bring their music
to Chapel Hill and plan on
returning in the near future.
We want to keep going
back to the places that we love
and where we have fun, Wolf
said. We still have a lot of
friends in (Chapel Hill) and
we love it. Its like a homecom-
ing whenever we come back.
As a part of their Time
Isnt Money Tour, unsigned
folk duo Less Is More will
join Goodnight, Texas tonight
for their first performance in
North Carolina.

On new AP US History
curriculum, a pushback
By Corey Risinger
Staff Writer
High school students get
testing anxiety and, this fall,
theyre not the only ones sweat-
ing with the implementation
of a new Advanced Placement
U.S. History curriculum.
The College Board cre-
ated the new framework in
response to teacher concerns
that the old curriculum didnt
allow for in-depth discussion.
But critics take issue with the
revamped courses content
and the private organizations
authority over state education.
The College Board has been
a monopoly for 100 years, said
Jane Robbins, senior fellow
at the American Principles
Project. Why do we have to
cower before the College Board
because theyre there and have
an office in New York?
According to the College
Board, the newly designed
AP U.S. History course will
emphasize analysis and inter-
pretation of primary sources
and legal documents.
We believe that it strikes
a careful balance between
teaching factual knowledge
and critical analysis, wrote
the authors of the AP U.S.
History curriculum in an
open letter addressing the
claims against them.
But the Republican National
Committee said the framework
devalues integral information.
It reflects a radically revi-
sionist view of American his-
tory that emphasizes negative
aspects of our nations history,
while omitting or minimizing
positive aspects, wrote the
RNC in an Aug. 8 resolution.
Robbins said the conver-
sation has put pressure on
College Board to communi-
cate with critics.
The N.C. State Board of
Education has not discussed a
similar proposal.
As recently as the very
beginning of this month, our
board chairman said that the
board was not considering
taking any action, said Sara
Clark, spokeswoman for the
N.C. Department of Public
Instruction.
Peter Wood, president of
the National Association of
Scholars, said the College
Board transitioned from a
view of American exception-
alism to one embracing more
diverse perspectives.
The history of America is
told largely through the lens
of the injustices perpetrated
on various people at various
times by the American elite:
generally rich white men, he
said.
Wood said the new AP
U.S. History framework puts
little emphasis on important
epic history, diminishing it
so that a student could walk
away from the course with
little knowledge of American
history.
The old curriculum
allowed for greater teacher
flexibility and unique teach-
ing methods, he said, though
the RNCs resolution is not
the solution.
Where there are con-
tending interpretations, (we
should) give students access
to the facts, the documents
and broader narratives and
allow students to make up
their own minds, Wood said.
Harry Watson, a history
professor at UNC, said facts
are important, but critical
thinking is fundamental in
college level courses.
Watson said that, ultimate-
ly, the RNCs critique of the
curriculum is uninformed.
You cant bake a cake
without ingredients, and you
cant leave out people and
events from a history class
any more than you can leave
out sugar and flour from a
cake, he said.
Myra Waheed, a UNC
freshman, said the old frame-
work was narrow in its per-
spective.
So we didnt get much of
an international look, she
said. I dont think it was neg-
ative, I just think it was very
present and very domestic.

over a year old. Finkel said
songwriting comes easily for
her and Spencer.
Our music writing process
happens so naturally, she
said. We both have different
styles of writing, but we have
a good way of collaborating,
and that has been there from
the beginning.
Finkel was trained in clas-
sical opera, and Spencer said
this, combined with his rock
n roll influence and their past
vocal experience, makes their

and good to rage to

Spencer said interacting
with other bands is one of the
many benefits of touring.

being on a bill with somebody
else being able to meet
them and get advice from
people who have been doing
this longer than us.

Dancing or standing still,
still entertaining
By Margaret Gilmore
Staff Writer
From magic tricks to trashcan drumming,
the streets of Chapel Hill and Carrboro are
constantly bustling with entertainment.
One of Chapel Hills most notable enter-
tainers, C Ray, is most commonly known for
posing as a human statue in front of Krispy
Kreme Doughnuts on Franklin Street.
I dont know what happens down the
street, but as long as you leave with a smile
on your face, Im happy, he said.
C Ray said he started performing on the
streets while living in New Orleans in 2000.
Homeless and seeking work, C Ray asked a
street performer on Bourbon Street how to
make some money. The busker told him sim-
ply to stand on a milk crate and not move.
As people began to walk by and throw
change, the human statue was born, and C
Ray decided he would make a living off of
busking in different cities.
If you treat it like a hustle, its a hustle,
C Ray said. If you treat it like an art, it ll be
an art.
While people typically walk by without
really paying attention, C Ray often comes
to life, creating an element of surprise.
Its entertainment you wouldnt expect,
he said.
Children on Franklin Street often tug at
his clothes and question if hes real, C Ray
said.
The statue has appeared in more than a
dozen cities, from New York City to Tampa,
and C Ray said the work has become a pas-
sion for him.
I get to meet a lot of people and have
conversations, just connecting with the
people, he said.
Offering a different style of entertain-
ment, Bruce Thomas has made a name for
himself as the Dancing Man of Carrboro.
But Thomas said when he first came to
Carrboro, he didnt dance. It wasnt until
one Thursday evening in 2002 that he
found his inspiration.
As he sat on a bench in front of Weaver
Street Market, Thomas noticed a group of
kids dancing around a tree with a friend of
his who shared the same yoga philosophies.
Wanting to dance with the kids, Thomas
said he looked to God for guidance. He said
the Lord said for him to practice what he
preached and face his fears.
After much hesitation, Thomas proceed-
ed to walk slowly towards the tree, and his
body started moving.
Twelve years later, Thomas can still be
found dancing most mornings and evenings
in the same spot in front of Weaver Street
Market.
The greatness of dancing is the flow of
energy or the space that you can get into and
how you can uplift your own spirits, he said.
In the summer of 2006, Thomas danc-
ing came to an abrupt halt as Car Mill
Mall banned him from dancing in front of
Weaver Street Market. Community mem-
bers of both Carrboro and Chapel Hill
responded by organizing protests to bring
Bruce back in a campaign known as Let
Bruce Dance. After three months of contro-
versy, then ban was lifted and Thomas went
back to his daily dancing routine.
I think hes fascinating and inspiring, and
I have actually incorporated his philosophies
into my own canon, said senior economics
major Evan Comen.
After many years, Thomas has chosen
to remain on the Carr Mill Mall property
because he finds there is a lot of ancient
energy in the ground that attracts people
from all over.
My whole purpose of doing what I do
in life is to spread peace, love and joy, and
thats why I do everything that I do.

Whether its smooth saxophone outside the
Ackland Museum Store or drums in the nook of
Julians, local musicians are using Franklin Street
as their stage.
Buskers entertainers who perform on the
street for money use these small gigs as an
opportunity to forward their music.
Chapel Hill resident Matt Phillips is a profes-
sional singer-songwriter who got his start playing
in front of Spankys Restaurant & Bar at age 18.
I went out on the street and just waited for
people to give me money, he said. Id think
to myself what I was doing when they gave me
money. A lot of that was playing Wagon Wheel,
a thousand times.
Phillips said he didnt depend on busking to
live back then, but it helped him tune his sound
and perfect his skills that led to a professional
career. He said that on a good night busking in
Chapel Hill, hes made as much as $350.
Playing what people like is the most gratify-
ing feeling in the world, he said. Looking at
someones face and watching it light up because
of what youre doing, especially when its by you
and youre just playing guitar.
On the opposite side of Franklin Street, J.
Alphonse Nicholson beats buckets outside the
Ackland Museum Store.
I started drumming on the street about two
years ago, Nicholson said. It was something I
was always interested in and tried in Chapel Hill
first, and I got an overwhelming response from
students and people here.
When hes not playing buckets, Nicholson is a
professional actor who has performed four times
with PlayMakers Repertory Company and in
New York City. Wherever he goes, he takes his
buckets with him.
When I first got (to New York), I went to a
hardware store, bought two buckets and a bowl
and started playing out on the street. That first
day I made $600, and it was nuts.
But Nicholson doesnt do it for the money.
Its all about entertaining people, about mak-
ing someones day better just with the sound of
music, he said. I think this area deserves good
artists, and its awesome they give us the privilege
to hang out and play music.
Jeffrey York, the Public and Cultural Arts
Administrator of Chapel Hill, said he supports
street musicians and hopes they come to the 140
W. Franklin Plaza.
I think street musicians add to the ambiance
of the town, he said.
The Ackland Museum Store has noticed art-
ists like Nicholson outside the store, and theyre
not upset about the noise.
Its just kind of a fun community thing, and
I dont think its a deterrent to our customers or
anything like that, assistant manager Melinda
Rittenhouse said.
It just sort of livens up the corner. Ive seen
people dancing or talking to the musicians, so its
probably a good corner for them. I think its kind
of fun.

Covenant Scholars program.
For students transferring
from community colleges with-
in North Carolina, the states
Comprehensive Articulation
Agreement ensures students
completing an associates
degree and obtaining at
least a 2.0 GPA will meet the
minimum requirements to
be accepted into one of the 16
UNC-system universities.
As of this semester, the
1997 policy was revised to
define a general education
core courses that students
can transfer from any of the
states 58 community colleges
to any UNC-system school.
North Carolina has done
a great job of creating a
regional policy for transfer
students, Simone said. But,
there is a national need for
more regional policies pro-
tecting and advocating for
transfer students.
He said articulation agree-
ments need to be developed
on a national level.
We really need to make
sure that, in the case of trans-
fer students, different states
are working with one another
to help whats most important
in this situation the stu-
dents, he said.
Tracy Mancini, dean
of the Arts, Sciences and
University Transfer depart-
ment at Durham Technical
Community College, said
she doesnt see many stu-
dents with large credit issues
because of the policies North
Carolina has in place.
But Mancini added that it
isnt the same nationwide.
There is a national call
right now to ease the burden
of transfer students, she said.
Janet Marling, execu-
tive director of the National
Institute for the Study of
Transfer Students, said a
national agreement would
be a good goal but given
that many states and regions
are having trouble passing
effective policies, this goal is
far off.
We need to look at the
application of credit transfer
to make progress because if
youre pursuing any academic
goal and your credits dont
transfer, youre not making
any progress, Marling said.
Its important, she said, for
new and revised policies to be
inclusive of all transfer stu-
dent populations.
Out-of-state students have
a tough time because when
transferring to an institution
in another state, these local-
ized articulation agreements,
no matter how great they are,
dont apply, she said.
At UNC, transfer students
still face obstacles, even
with access to special groups
and communities, such as
the Transfer United Living-
Learning Community and the
Tar Heel Transfer Student
Organization.
Hackett said course regis-
tration is often biased against
transfers, as each student is
assigned a registration time
based on the number of hours
they have completed before
and while attending UNC.
Every semester I find
myself registering for classes
days after other individuals
in my grade are registering,
Hackett said. Ive had really
hard times getting into some
classes I need for my major
because of this rule.
Some students in North
Carolina, and many more
nationwide, continue to
struggle in the transfer pro-
cess, Mancini said.
North Carolina has been
attentive to the need of trans-
fers, and this is something
other regions and the nation
can take notice of.

tion with a business class.
Pam Haynes, spokeswoman
for High Point University, said
students participated in a Q&A
with Cooper during the event.
It was a great experience
for our students to be able to
see a state official of his caliber
one on one and spend some
time with him, she said.
Cooper is focusing on an
issue thats important for
students, said Wilson Parker,
president of the UNC Young
Democrats and director of
state and external affairs for
UNC Student Government.
Hes been an advocate for
students, Parker said. Its
exciting that hes working on
that initiative.
Though the initiative is part
of Coopers attorney general
duties, Guillory said it doesnt
hurt Coopers political aspira-
tions, since college students are
a vocal part of the voting block.
Theres political motivation
around everything, and so it
is in his interest to energize
young people and keep them
within the democratic con-
stituency, Guillory said. It
seems to me like that kind of
an initiative isnt sort of a flag-
waving type thing that would
get you a bunch of voters, but
it keeps him in touch with a
segment of the electorate.
While Parker agreed
Coopers campaign is primar-
ily linked to his attorney gen-
eral work, he said it is encour-
aging that an official who
is looking out for students
interests is demonstrating
intent to run.
As a student, I think that
seeing a politician who is
actively interested in standing
up for student needs instead
of doing the opposite, which
is what we see so much of in
Raleigh these days, definitely
means a lot.

FCC sees record number
net neutrality complaints
WASHINGTON
Applying 20th-century laws
to 21st-century technology is
not the answer to protect the
free internet despite the over-
whelming amount of public
support for that approach,
anti-regulation advocates
told the Senate Judiciary
Committee on Wednesday in
a hearing on net neutrality.
The Federal
Communications
Commissions controversial
net neutrality proposal has
drawn fire because it would
allow companies like Google,
Netflix and Skype to pay extra
for a faster pipe that would
ensure speedier streaming for
their content. The vast major-
ity of the record-breaking 3.7
million comments filed to the
FCC by Mondays deadline
urged the agency to reclassify
the internet as a public util-
ity, like telephone services, to
prevent big internet compa-
nies from charging extra for
such fast lanes.

plan to arm Syrian rebels
WASHINGTON Despite
deep reluctance from lawmak-

ers, the House on Wednesday
approved President Barack
Obamas plan to arm Syrian
rebels in the fight against
Islamic State militants, with
the Senate expected to give
final passage Thursday.
Republicans and Democrats
are skeptical of Obamas plan
to supplement U.S. airstrikes
by training and arming Syrian
opposition forces, whose
abilities and trustworthiness
remain untested. Members of
both parties also fear enter-
ing a protracted battle that
some worry could ultimately
require American troops on
the ground, despite assurances
from Obama that combat
forces will not be deployed.
What in the world are we
doing? said Rep. Barbara
Lee, D-Calif., on Wednesday
before the vote. Congress
should be examining all of
the solutions to this crisis, not
just the military ones.
HAVEN
Rethink: Psychiatric Illness
One Act

Embody Carolina

Helping Advocates for Violence
Ending Now, or HAVEN, is a cam-
pus organization that educates stu-
dents on sexual and interpersonal
violence.
The group works to train mem-
bers of the Chapel Hill community
to support victims of sexual or interpersonal violence,
according to its web site.
Often people who have suffered from these acts feel
as though they do not have anyone to talk to, so HAVEN
serves to eliminate this problem.
HAVEN offers 3-hour training for students, faculty
and staff. They also offer refresher courses for those who
have previously been educated to help prevent sexual
violence but want to stay updated.
The goal of the training is to teach members to lis-
ten actively, respond with empathy and link victims to
resources available on campus that could help them.
Junior Julia Stroup, who did the training in fall 2013,
said the program taught her concrete skills to help her
friends.
I think the most important part of HAVEN for me was
learning practical ways to be able to support my friends
and those around me who are experiencing serious things,
she said. You learn how to be a good active listener and
connect survivors with different resources on campus.
HAVEN was my first step in the door on these
issues, said Stroup, who has since become a One Act
Peer Educator and violence prevention intern for
Student Wellness.
Rethink: Psychiatric Illness is a
student-run organization on cam-
pus hoping to open up a discussion
about mental illness. It started as
a living-learning community in the
fall of 2011 and became a Campus Y
committee in April of 2012.
Its aim is to make UNC a safe place for students to
share their experiences regarding mental illness. The
group offers 4-hour sensitization trainings that review
the basics of mental health and hope to destigmatize
mental illness. The goals of the training are to make
people feel encouraged and open to have a conversation
regarding mental health.
Taylor Swankie, a senior majoring in health policy
and management and one of the founding members of
the organization, has been with Rethink since it started
in fall of 2011 and has since then personally seen the
organization thrive.
Carolina students are very caring and compassion-
ate, Swankie said. They want to support this safe place
to discuss mental illness so we want to give them the
tools to do that.
Swankie said one of the initial goals of the organiza-
tion was to have a few training sessions and to alert the
community that Rethink exists.
I never expected that there would be this much
interest from students to talk about mental illness. I
have been very fortunate in seeing how much the culture
and the environment of this campus has changed in
respect to mental illnesses.
One Act is an on-campus orga-
nization that focuses on educating
students on how to prevent interper-
sonal violence in social situations.
The organization serves as skill
training to intervene when students
see the potential for interpersonal
violence to occur. ACT is also an acronym for asking for
help, creating a distraction or talking directly.
The overall goal of One Act is to make the UNC commu-
nity and safer place for all of its residents and members.
In 2010, UNC adopted a bystander approach to its
training, said Katrina Hauprich, a peer educator.
This bystander strategy approaches students as allies
and potential leaders, rather than potential perpetrators
or victims, and has been shown to alter social norms and
promote pro-social and respectful behavior, she said.
One Act is composed of three committees: Peer
Education, Events, and Public Relations. As a whole,
these three committees raise awareness for the program,
conduct training, and arrange events to gather the
attention of UNC students.
In the spring of 2013, One Act added a new program,
One Act for Greeks, meant to improve safety in fraterni-
ties and sororities.
Hauprich said the accumulation of small acts could lead
to a significant reduction of violence on campus.
We hope that through training, participants will
gain the willingness and confidence to take just one
action, leading to a reduction in violence on campus,
she said.
Safe Zone is an organization
that serves to train people to act
as accepting companions to stu-
dents with varying sexual orienta-
tions, gender identities and gender
expressions.
The organization trains not only
students but also faculty and staff to
make campus a more inviting place for everyone.
Safe Zone hopes to provide students with a safe and
inviting campus environment, regardless of their sexual
or gender backgrounds.
The purpose of Safe Zone is to create a network of
allies that people can talk to about sexual orientation,
gender identity and gender expression, the organiza-
tions web site says.
Safe Zone holds trainings throughout the year, and
allies who participate receive a sticker to display in their
offices or living spaces.
Adrianne Gibilisco, the administrative support spe-
cialist for Safe Zone, said that it helps train faculty as
well as students.
We do special departmental trainings at UNC, as well
as at other schools and health organizations, so our reach
in creating allies is expanding all the time, she said.
Gibilisco said the organization began in 2000.
That was when Marcie Fisher-Borne was hired as the
first employee with any LGBT responsibility at UNC-
Chapel Hill, she said.
The LGBT office opened three years later in 2003 and
is now the LGBTQ Center.
Embody Carolina provides stu-
dents with the tools to assist people
suffering from eating disorders. The
program began in 2011.
Eating disorders are a complex
and dangerous psychological dis-
ease that people often do not know
how to approach. Friends and peers of those strug-
gling try to help but are not educated on the correct
ways to do so. Embody Carolina was created in order
to properly teach people how to help those with eating
disorders.
Colleen Daly is a UNC graduate and one of the
founding members of Embody Carolina. She and her
friend Ben Barge were both personally connected to
eating disorders, she said, and that inspired them to
start the organization.
The best thing about Embody is that it created a
conversation about a prevalent issue that was too often
thrown under the rock, Daly said.
One of the very important aspects of the Embody
Carolina program is that a medical professional is pres-
ent at every one of the meetings.
This is to ensure the medical well-being of partici-
pants who might have an eating disorder.
Daly added that working with Embody Carolina has
been rewarding for her to know the impact that she has
made on peoples lives.
I got a letter from someone that I had used the
Embody training on, and she said that had helped save
her life, Daly said.
Green Zone provides training for
faculty and staff members who want
to learn more about the issues and
concerns facing veteran or other
military students.
Brian Papajcik, assistant dean of
students, is highly involved in Green
Zone. He said Green Zone trains
faculty and staff to help students dealing issues such as
transitioning from military culture to higher education
culture, transferring credits or understanding the GI
Bill.
Green Zone ultimately aims to create a visible network
and culture of care and understanding for military affili-
ated students. The organization hopes to figure out what
the needs of these students are and how to help them.
Were not expected to be experts who can solve every
problem that they encounter, Papajcik said.
We are really supposed to be individuals who can
lend a sympathetic ear and help veterans and other mili-
tary students identify and connect with the appropriate
resources.
Papajcik said he hopes in semesters to come they can
extend their professional staff and faculty members on
campus who want to assist military students. Veteran
students often say they do not know who to talk to or
who to go to on campus, so Green Zone is hoping to
eliminate that.
Green Zone now has over 100 faculty and staff mem-
bers have been trained. They typically have five training
sessions a semester.

orth Carolina vot-
ers should not be
fooled by North
Carolina House Speaker
Thom Tillis (R) political
ploy to support over-the-
counter birth control
medication.
While this position
appears to favor womens
rights by simplifying access,
such an action would shift
the cost of birth control
from insurance companies
to women. Because Tillis
platform rejects the Afford-
able Care Acts stipulation
that insurance cover the
cost of birth control, the
move to designate birth
control as an over-the-
counter drug could increase
out-of-pocket costs.
Should contraceptives
become over-the-counter,
costs could increase by
$600 per year, according
to Planned Parenthood, for
women who currently have
the cost of contraceptives
as well as annual well-
woman office visits covered
under the Affordable Care
Act. Planned Parenthood
is a medical organization
that advocates for womens
health issues and abortion
rights.
The predicted increase
would make these medica-
tions too costly for many
women. This comes at
a time when almost a
quarter of women have
more trouble paying for
contraceptives than in the
past, according to a recent
survey.

position has come so late

QUOTE OF THE DAY
FEATURED ONLINE READER COMMENT
SGA and advocacy
roles can be separate
TO THE EDITOR:
The student govern-
ment of UNC represents all
students. Thats why its so
important for the student
government to be non-
partisan fighting for the
interests of all Carolina stu-
dents, not just this or that
political party.
Many Carolina students
who are interested in and
active in politics includ-
ing both of us also serve
the student body as officers
in the student government.
Together, we lead a team
that advocates to the leg-
islature, in a non-partisan
fashion, on behalf of stu-
dents and the University.
We do not apologize for
our political beliefs or our
political advocacy. But we
will always keep them sepa-
rate from our service in the
student government.
On some occasions, The
Daily Tar Heel has identified
Wilson, who leads our team,
in his student government
role when he was speaking
on behalf Young Democrats.
This inappropriately implied
that he was speaking on
behalf of student govern-
ment when he was not.
We understand that Daily
Tar Heel journalists are
just trying to give readers a
fuller sense of what is going
on. We have asked that The
Daily Tar Heel differentiate
between separate roles, but
this has proved difficult.
We are writing now to
ensure every Carolina stu-
dent that we, within our
roles in student govern-
ment, strive to be profes-
sional and non-partisan.
Our main priority within
student government is to
further the interests of
Carolina students.

EDITORIAL CARTOON By Mark Viser, mviser@email.unc.edu
Rock is
not dead,
Gene
Simmons
R
ock is finally dead.
Gene Simmons,
eternal tongue-
wagger and bassist for KISS,
made this seemingly brash
claim in a recent interview with
Esquire, leaving the music com-
munity staggering.
Simmons declaration
of rocks death came as an
immense affront to my person-
al ethos. Raised on the Gospel
of Hard Rock, I believe in the
power of loud guitars and fast
drums. An inquiry into my
favorite song is an exploration
of my entire personality and
worldview. To put it simply,
rock music is who I am.
His argument, though, is
more nuanced than the head-
lines. Simmons rules the death
a murder: the result of illegal
downloading and file-sharing.
Ultimately, Simmons blames
file-sharing on a lack of patrio-
tism. He conflates good citizen-
ship with support of capitalist
values, i.e., the legal purchase of
music for the profit of artists.
Regardless of his political
and fiscal opinions, Simmons
thoughts reflect the truth of
the mainstream music indus-
try: it is dominated by mind-
less, synthetic dance-pop.
Major label executives
produce and promote what
sells. For whatever reason,
our generation would rather
rage to a poorly constructed
Avicii anthem than engage in
the glory of a well-written and
emotionally evocative track.
Simmons goes on to lament
the absence of craft.
Youre better off not even
learning how to play guitar or
write songs and just singing in
the shower and auditioning for
The X Factor, he said.
My issue with Simmons
argument stems from his total
disregard for independent art-
ists and labels. Though not as
prevalent on mainstream radio
and media outlets, independent
artists maintain their authen-
ticity and credibility by refusing
to adopt major label values.
Independent rock labels
including 4AD, Rough Trade,
Sub Pop and Merge have
launched and maintained the
careers of, among others, The
Pixies, The Strokes, Nirvana
and Arcade Fire, respectively.
As an intern with Durham-
based Merge Records, I can per-
sonally attest to the flourishing
output of independent artists.
Whether its the soaring
chorus of Arcade Fires Wake
Up, the oft-replicated soft/
loud/soft song structure pio-
neered by The Pixies (hear:
Where is My Mind) or the
melodic rasp of Kurt Cobain
in About a Girl, the spiritual
influence of independent art-
ists cannot be overestimated.
The idea of indie rock as
a historic or fleeting concept
is an illusion. Hundreds of
talented artists play in the
Triangle, from Raleighs
Hopscotch Music Festival to
shows at Cats Cradle.
I highly encourage any per-
son who considers herself a sup-
porter of quality music to legally
purchase her favorite albums
and attend local shows.
Rock lives and breathes
through the musicians, produc-
ers, managers, label execs and
lowly interns like myself who
dedicate their lives to its exis-
tence. As long as kids are willing
to spend their allowance on
Marshall amps and hours learn-
ing the Smoke on the Water
riff, rock music will never die.

in the election season
would be an unlikely coin-
cidence. His legislative
record is full of instances
of opposition to repro-
ductive rights. In 2011,
as speaker of the house,
Tillis oversaw the pas-
sage of a budget provision
that attempted to cut
state funding to Planned
Parenthood. This provi-
sion was later blocked by a
federal judge.
Tillis also presided
over State Bill 353, which
placed restrictions on
health clinics that perform
abortions. In addition, it
barred women from using
government-administered
insurance to pay for abor-
tions, forcing them to pay
out of pocket. S.B. 353 was
originally designed to deal
with motorcycle safety, but
abortion-related amend-
ments were added without
public notice.
Planned Parenthood
has called attention to
the similarity in shift
of position of Tillis and
state Rep. Cory Gardner
of Colorado (R), both of
whom use the same con-
sulting firm, OnMessage,
to advise their campaigns,
according to Politico.
With the election less
than two months away
and recent polls showing
Tillis trailing his opponent
by several points, Tillis
appears to be making a
last-ditch effort to garner
votes among a voting bloc
that would otherwise favor
Democratic incumbent Kay
Hagan. While Tillis may be
talking an excellent politi-
cal game, the authenticity
of his commitment to wom-
ens health should remain
in question.
Efforts to reframe the
cost of reproductive rights
as a private instead of
public health issue have
made inroads recently. For
religious reasons, private
companies are no longer
required to provide a full
array of contraceptives to
be a part of their health
care plan, according to
the Supreme Court ruling
in the case of Burwell v.
Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc.
Tillis voiced support
for the court ruling.
Although today was
a loss for Kay Hagan,
Barack Obama and the
Washington bureaucrats
who want to run our lives,
the American people are
the clear winners, he said,
according to The (Raleigh)
News & Observer.
As more companies are
given the ability to opt
out of federal mandates to
control the accessibility of
contraceptives, the issue of
payment becomes increas-
ingly privatized.
In this context, sudden
support for over-the-coun-
ter birth control makes
economic sense for Tillis
agenda with the added
benefit of fooling women
into thinking he has their
best interests at heart.
Making birth control
over-the-counter takes
down one barrier between
women and contracep-
tion but erects in its place
a more formidable one of
excessive cost.
It remains the responsi-
bility of legislators and
those who elect them
to continue the fight to
make reproductive health
services and medications
affordable and widely
available to all women.
Tillis plan wont
help women pay for
birth control.

whose job it is to advocate

that it is appropriate for him

After this episode, we do
not have confidence in Mr.

Attention must be
paid to all survivors
TO THE EDITOR:
We commend The Daily
Tar Heel for featuring a
story about male survivors
of sexual assault on the front
page of Mondays paper.
While the article high-
lights weaknesses in our
universitys response to male
survivors of sexual assault,
the exposure of this prob-
lem shows that our campus
community is taking steps
to end sexual violence and
support all survivors.
Survivors of sexual vio-
lence face shame and stig-
ma, and male survivors can
experience this to a greater
extent because of our soci-
etys expectations of men.
We are confident
that Counseling and
Psychological Services can
provide a safe space for all
survivors to get the help they
need. We hope that CAPS
will address the individual
needs of male survivors and
include them in male or
co-ed support groups.
The number of male sur-
vivors seeking support may
be small, but providing the
opportunity for all people to
identify with other survivors
in their own community is
worth taking an extra step.
Project Dinah, an inter-
personal and sexual violence
prevention organization,
welcomes all survivors and
allies, regardless of gender
identity or personal experi-
ence with sexual violence.
We encourage anyone
who is interested to attend
our meetings on Mondays
at 7 p.m. in Dey Hall.
We also invite survivors,
secondary survivors, or allies
to share their experiences on
our anonymous blog, speak-
outunc.blogspot.com.
These stories will be
read anonymously at our
event, Speak Out! Against
Interpersonal Violence on
Oct. 2 at 7 p.m. in the Pit.
