recent leadership change in theoffice fueled her decision to leave.Houston served as interimassociate provost for diversity and multicultural affairs follow-ing the departure of Archie Ervinlast year. Taffye Clayton becamethe permanent vice provost fordiversity and multicultural affairsin February.Houston, who said she did notapply for Clayton’s position, saidthe reasoning behind her deci-sion was complex, but discus-sions with senior administrationrevealed that Clayton wantedto take the office in a differentdirection.“What I’ve been told is thatthere’s going to be some reorga-nization and there are going to besome changes,” she said. When asked whether she waspressured to submit her resigna-tion, Houston declined to give a definitive answer.

Lenoir toget frozen yogurtfranchise
By Josie Hollingsworth
Staff Writer
Starting this summer, students won’thave to walk to Franklin Street to get theirfrozen yogurt fix.Carolina Dining Services has begunreplacing the convenience store in the bot-tom of Lenoir Dining Hall with a Freshensfrozen yogurt, smoothies, and crepes shop,said Director of Auxiliary Services MikeFreeman.He said Freshens is projected to open before the end of May, adding that nopositions are being terminated as a resultof the change.Dining Services officials have beenlooking to replace the convenience storemainly because the Pit Stop and StudentStores have longer hours and a largerselection.“We’re changing the venue to createmore products students want,” he said.Lenoir had a Freshens franchise dur-ing the 1990s through 2001, but it lackedpopularity, Freeman said.But the franchise’s recent addition of crepes has refreshed the company’s modeland will allow Dining Services to incor-porate local foods into crepes and yogurt,Freeman said. Assistant Supervisor in Design andConstruction Services David Sichi said therenovation process began this week.“We’re responsible for the genericspace, electrical and plumbing,” Sichi said.Freshens will provide the signs anddealer-specific materials for the franchise.Sophomore Ava Lane said she thinksthe store could be redundant since Jamba Juice is also in the bottom of Lenoir.“They’re just jumping on the frozen yogurt train — the thing that was there before was probably more useful,” Lane said.But when Lane found out the store willserve crepes, she reconsidered.“Crepes would be good,” she said.

Julius Caesar was assassinated2,056 years ago.More than 1,600 years later, William Shakespeare wrote a play about it.This weekend, LAB! Theatre will bring the ancient Roman dictator tohis knees once again with the com-pany’s production of Shakespeare’stragedy “Julius Caesar,” which openstonight in Kenan Theatre.The show’s director, senior Josh Wolonick, led the cast and crew ina semester-long study in the play’spolitics and poetry. Wolonick and the 15 studentsfilling the play’s 45 roles spent themonth before rehearsals studyingthe text. But Wolonick said the work paid off — by the second rehearsalthe cast was up on its feet. Wolonick said he developed hislove of Shakespeare after spendinga summer studying the playwright’s work in London.During his time there, whichincluded studies at OxfordUniversity, he saw plays per-formed at Shakespeare’s birth-place, Stratford-upon-Avon, and inLondon’s Globe Theatre, where theplays were originally performed. After watching the plays from theGlobe’s groundlings section, wherethe commoners of Shakespeare’s day stood, Wolonick said he understoodthe breadth of Shakespeare’s targetaudience.“There is a common misconcep-tion that Shakespeare is for intellec-tuals only,” Wolonick said.“Done poorly it’s for thinkers, butdone well it’s for those who really live.”Shakespeare invented the way we think about human nature, Wolonick said.“His work is the fruit of the mostimmense and beautiful imagina-tion,” he said.“It’s up to us to open ours and lethis work support us.” Wolonick said he chose to pro-duce “Julius Caesar” because itseemed most suited for the campus,the actors and the time. He said hesees a parallel between contempo-rary political turmoil and the play’sevents.“It begs us to ask questions anddoesn’t give us any answers,” he said.Senior Jeffrey Sullivan will play Caesar. It is his first starring role.He also works as a designer for TheDaily Tar Heel.Sullivan’s last appearance wasin a LAB! production of “Stick Up

Narrowly approved UNC Health Care bill faces opposition
Brendan Cooley
Staff Writer
UNC Health Care is gearingup to fight a legislative proposalthat would dramatically overhaulits governance structure andhamper its ability to expand.The hastily passed recommen-dation has generated a firestormof opposition — from legislators,members of the UNC-systemBoard of Governors and UNCHealth Care’s leadership —regarding its provisions and the way the committee passed it.The bill, authored by Rep.Tim Moffitt, R-Buncombe, was narrowly approved by one vote Tuesday by a N.C. Houseof Representatives committeetasked with examining state-owned assets.But members of the commit-tee were not given a chance toread the bill before the meet-ing, said Rep. Becky Carney,D-Mecklenburg, who votedagainst the proposal.The UNC Health Care systemcame under increased scrutiny in the fall, when the committee began to consider an unsolic-ited bid from Raleigh-based WakeMed Health and Hospitalsto buy Rex Healthcare, an affili-ate of UNC Health Care.If the bill passes the full N.C.General Assembly during theshort session in May, it wouldgive the Board of Governors theauthority to appoint UNC HealthCare’s Board of Directors. The board is currently appointedinternally.The bill would also forbid theexpansion of the health care sys-tem without the explicit permis-sion of the state legislature.Sen. Tom Apodaca,R-Buncombe and chairman of the N.C. Senate’s rules commit-tee, issued a statement criticizingthe bill and said he will work toensure its defeat.Carney said the bill wouldpoliticize the governance of UNCHealth Care by giving membersof the Board of Governors, whoare appointed by the legislature,control of the system’s board.“I was bothered by the need tocome in and do a major overhaulof the university system gover-nance structure when there has been no compelling reason forthat change to occur,” she said. And the chairwoman of theBoard of Governors, HannahGage, said she was not excited by the prospect of having more con-trol over UNC Health Care.“A lot of the things that they are recommending are bad ideas,”she said. “It sounds to me likesomehow this thing grew legs andshipped on through and mostpeople didn’t have a full under-standing on what it would do.”Karen McCall, spokeswomanfor UNC Health Care, said the bill would cost the state in thelong term.“If we are not able to have theflexibility we’ve had in the past,UNC Health Care might not be able to support the (UNC)School of Medicine,” she said.

BRIEF
BOG move beyod tuitio
By Isabella Cochrane
State & National Editor
Illegal drug policies, finan-cial aid and a new performancemodel are three of the items to bediscussed at today’s UNC-systemBoard of Governors meeting. After a month-long hiatusand a work-related trip toChina, the board is unveilingtoday a new performance-basedfunding model that will rewardschools for meeting certainrequirements, including goodretention, degree efficiency andenergy usage.Today’s meeting follows the board’s February meeting in which members — amidst oppo-sition from hundreds of studentprotestors — approved a system- wide tuition and fee increase of 8.8 percent.Due to the prolonged discus-sions on tuition and fee increases,the board postponed talkingabout funding requests from theN.C. General Assembly until a hastily planned March meeting,at which the board decided torequest a 100 percent increase inits retention fund from $5 mil-lion to $10 million.This money, if granted by thestate legislature, will go towardthe board’s new performance- based funding model.Under the new model, por-tions of the funding will beallocated to schools who meetcertain requirements.Schools would be assessed on10 separate measures, includinggraduation rates.“It’s additional money that we’re asking for in order toreward and incentivize,” saidCharles Perusse, vice presidentfor finance for the UNC system.“We’re essentially going to gradehow well campuses are graduat-ing students and how they areusing resources effectively.”Seven of the measures will bestandard core measures set by the board and the UNC General Administration, but three of the measures will be up to the jurisdiction of individual campusadministrators.“Three measures are campuschoice because each campus hasa different focus,” Perusse said.Funds would be distributedannually to UNC-system institu-tions that improve student suc-cess and demonstrate effectiveuse of state resources.Hannah Gage, chairwoman of the board, said financial aid willalso be an important discussionat today’s meeting.Many board members have voiced concerns at previousmeetings about financial aid andhow much tuition revenue cam-puses should be allowed to directtoward need-based aid.Board member Irvin Rosemansaid he thinks the board shouldexplore tax breaks as a potentialsolution.“Let’s say that tuition for youfor a year costs $800 dollars.Under this present tuition guide-lines, 25 percent of that goes toneedy students, so that is char-ity,” he said. “If you have to give$200 out of your tuition bill toneed-based students and that’sa charity, why couldn’t you get a tax deduction?“I’m not a lawyer, but it could be done through a foundation I would think.”Roseman, a member of the board’s university governancecommittee, said the system’spolicy on illegal drug usage willalso be reviewed.Under the current policy, which was set in place in 1988, if a stu-dent gives away his prescriptiondrugs and is caught, he or she can be expelled without a trial.“We’re just exploring it rightnow,” Roseman said about thepolicy. “What we’re trying to do isdetermine what is right and whatis wrong.” And while it’s not on the agen-da, Gage said it is likely that the board will discuss a House selectcommittee’s recent approval of a bill, which recommends that the board oversee the appointmentof UNC Health Care’s Board of Directors.

Housekeeping Services — thedepartment once riddled withallegations of poor manage-ment and harassment — is fill-ing in the gaps. When the new housekeep-ing director arrives April 23, he will find himself at the helm of departmental reform efforts.Darius Dixon, deputy assis-tant director of housekeeping atN.C. State University, will con-tinue with the University’s goalof changing the department’sclimate — and administratorssaid the direction it takes will be up to him.“I don’t think that we’regoing to presume to tell him you have to go do A, B, C andD,” said Carolyn Elfland, associ-ate vice chancellor for campusservices. “He has to decide where his energies and empha-sis need to be.” A lack of leadership has beena chronic problem for the unitin past years. The departure of director Bill Burston and assis-tant director Tonya Sell in the fallof last year left UNC scramblingfor replacements as it attemptedto address internal complaints. A report issued by PRMConsulting Group — hired by the University — provided 45recommendations for change inthe department.The recommendationscentered on managerial train-ing, better communicationand a system in which morehousekeepers can contribute todepartmental leadership. A peer advisory council of housekeepers has been estab-lished and meets biweekly.“The University has been very proactive about imple-menting the recommenda-tions,” said Ray Dubose, interimdirector of Facilities Services.“Darius will jump in and facili-tate those changes.”Dixon will take reform into

Chapel Hill’s new cellphone ban has been replete with con-troversy. Now, concerns extendpast driving to focus on gay andlesbian rights.The ban includes exceptionsthat allow residents to callparents, children and spouses while driving. But it doesn’tindicate whether domestic part-ners are permitted to call theirsignificant others. That lack of inclusive language has lead toresident complaints.“I’m quite surprised that inthe cellphone ban, there areexemptions for calls to parents,children and spouses, but nonefor domestic partner,” residentGerry Cohen wrote in one emailto Mayor Mark Kleinschmidt.In response to the com-plaints, Kleinschmidt said heplans to introduce an expand-ed definition of the word“spouse” at next Monday’sTown Council meeting. Thechange would ensure thatall town ordinances apply todomestic partnerships.Kleinschmidt said he raisedthe issue during early discus-sions of the cellphone ban and began working with the townlawyer to create an expandeddefinition of the term “spouse.”“We are going to add thisnew definition to our ordi-nances,” Kleinschmidt said.“Anywhere the word ‘spouse’is written, it should be under-stood to mean a couple who isin a marriage or those who areinvolved in a domestic part-nership.”The idea of expanding thedefinition to include domesticpartnerships is nothing new tothe Triangle area.Carrboro already has anexpanded definition of “spouse.”“We have taken steps toinclude domestic partnershipsin most of our town codes,” saidCarrboro Town Clerk Catherine Wilson.In Durham, PublicInformation Officer Beverly Thompson said domestic part-nerships are considered spousesin terms of employee benefitpackages, but similar to ChapelHill, that definition is appliedon a case-by-case basis.“I’m not sure that it has beenapplied to every ordinance,” shesaid.Kleinschmidt said he wantsto take care of the problempermanently, rather than speci-fying what the term “spouse”means in each ordinance.He also said the decisionto standardize the definitioncame after months of workingto include the term “domesticpartnership” into ordinances.“We have always workeddiligently to have inclusive lan-guage,” he said. “What we don’t want to do is accidently missone and then have some sort of legal situation on our hands.”Kleinschmidt said after heintroduces the new ordinanceto the Town Council, it will besubject to a public hearing. Buthe said he is hopeful that thenew definition will be on the books by the end of the month.“I would like to get this doneas soon as possible,” he said.

After being swept at Miami in a series that included two shutouts anda 14-inning heartbreaker, No. 8 NorthCarolina’s Wednesday night game againstUNC-Asheville could have been an easy,morale-boosting win.UNC earned the victory, 10-5, but it wasn’t what coach Mike Fox would call easy.The Tar Heels jumped out to a 6-1 lead inthe first six innings, only to have that leadcut to one in the seventh and eighth frames.“This team, they’re not going to make iteasy on themselves,” Fox said. “We’re notgoing to have an easy game all year, andI’m going to have to expect it as we go. We could have a 10-run lead. We seem tomake it hard on ourselves.”But UNC played an inspired firstthree innings of baseball, holding UNC- Asheville hitless as Hobbs Johnson madehis first career start.In the second inning, he struck out theside, setting the stage for a booming home-run shot over the center field wall from Cody Stubbs. A sacrifice bunt from Adam Griffinand a Parks Jordan sacrifice fly advancedand then scored Michael Russell to put theTar Heels up 2-0 coming out of the inning.In the bottom of the third, UNC scoredanother two runs, again on the back of savvy sacrifice hitting. Neither JacobStallings nor Russell got on base in histhird-inning at-bat, but both brought a run home by putting the ball in play. UNCled 4-0 after three. Instead of swinging forthe fences, the Tar Heels looked to advancerunners methodically.“We really worked the last two days … onstaying through the ball and not trying to dotoo much,” said Jordan, who started at first base and had one hit and two sacrifice flies.“Just to try and square up on as many ballsas possible, do our job when we’re called on.” Asheville’s batters went three up, threedown in both the fifth and sixth innings.Feeling secure, UNC seemed flusteredin the seventh and eighth innings when Asheville’s bats heated up.The Bulldogs put up three runs on fourUNC pitchers in the seventh, and anotheron R.C. Orlan in the eighth. It was 6-5 when Asheville’s Jordan Lurie hit a wildly bouncing grounder to the right corner of the infield. Jordan again came up big with

the lead on the line. The ball hit him in thechest, but Jordan chased it into foul ter-ritory and grabbed it in time to make thethrow and catch Lurie at the bag. The par-able of Jordan, as told by Fox, represented what allowed UNC to pull away from Asheville for good.“He didn’t look great fielding that ball,”Fox said. “But what’d he do? Didn’t panic, a good athlete, went over and picked it up andthrew a strike to first. Some guys are goingto rush to go get that ball thinking, ‘If I don’tmake this play, they tied it.’ And what arethey gonna do? Throw the ball away at first.” As UNC came up to bat in the bottomhalf of the eighth inning, the offense seemedto have taken a page from Jordan’s book. A string of hits and aggressive base-running —including a suicide squeeze that allowed tworuns to score on a bunt — led to a five-runonslaught.Though it wasn’t carefree, Wednesday’s win was a healing experience for a teamtrying to forget its season’s first truly dis-mal weekend.“It’s a step forward because it’s a ‘W,’”Fox said. “It’s a ‘W’ instead of an ‘L.’ Any time you win, we’re happy. We’re not goingto over-analyze things.”
