MENS BASKETBALL: N.C. STATE 58, NORTH CAROLINA 46
WOLFPACK PREYS ON TAR HEELS
DTH/CHRIS CONWAY
he No. 15 North Carolina mens basketball team fell to unranked N.C. State, 58-46, Tuesday night. The game marked the first Wolfpack (17-11, 8-7 ACC)
win at the Smith Center since 2003 meaning it was also Coach Roy Williams first loss to N.C. State in the building as UNCs head coach after previously
going 11-0. UNCs 46 points are the fewest the team has scored in the Smith Center, two shy of the previous low in 2011. The Tar Heels (18-9, 8-6) trailed by
as many as 16 points during the contest. Head to dailytarheel.com for stories about Tuesdays loss, including a breakdown of UNCs 18-point, first-half performance.
Sudden snow surprises University

Chancellor Carol Folt
was at a conference in
California on Tuesday.
Willingham settles lawsuit

The settlement does not
allow the former learning
specialist to return to UNC.

Even 3,000 miles away,

Chancellor Carol Folt was still
involved in the decision not to
cancel classes until late in the day
Tuesday but she was not the
one who made the final call.
Folt, who said on Twitter that
she is participating in a panel
about sexual assault in California,
was aware of the winter weather
coming down at her school.
But Rick White, associate vice
chancellor of communications and
public affairs, said it was people in
her office who made the decision
to cancel classes after 2:30 p.m.
Tuesday until 10 a.m. today.
The Chancellors office ultimately makes the decision, he
said, identifying Provost Jim
Dean and Chancellors Chief
of Staff Debbie Dibbert as the
leaders.
After snow began falling early
Tuesday morning, students took
to social media to express their
safety concerns about still going to
class. Folt responded to the trending hashtag #WheresCarol after
pictures of her vacant parking spot
outside South Building made their
way around social media.
"#WheresCarol In California
to speak at a national conference
on sexual assault, Folt tweeted.
Junior Audrey Anderson said
one of her classmates fell in
Swain Hall because of the slippery conditions and suffered a
ATHLETIC-ACADEMIC SCANDAL

serious injury. Anderson said the

injury was severe enough for her
classmate to be taken out of the
building on a stretcher.
Anderson said her professor
decided to cancel the rest of class
due to the commotion.
White said he did not have a
comment about the Swain Hall
incident, but he did stress that
the decision to cancel school is
made after consulting many different entities.
Its not a very simple,
straight-forward, up-and-down,
Oh gee, its snowing, lets cancel
classes decision, he said.
White said the Universitys
leaders talk with Chapel Hill
Transit, the Chapel Hill Police
Department, UNCs Department
of Public Safety and the schools
own buildings and grounds
employees while weighing their
options.
There are so many different
factors to consider, White said.

Chapel Hill police also had an
especially busy day because of the
snowy conditions.
Lt. Josh Mecimore, Chapel
Hill police spokesman, said officers responded to 20 different
accidents after 8 a.m. Tuesday.
Police responded to eight
crashes during a 30-minute period
alone around 5 a.m. Tuesday.
White said every case and snow
storm is different. He said the
timing of Tuesdays snowfall also
added difficulty to the decision.
If people are already on campus, it is often safer to keep them
on campus instead of sending
them home, he said.
After all, White said, safety is
the number one priority for those
charged with making the decision.
The guiding principle is
everyones safety, he said.

Famed whistleblower Mary

Willingham wont be returning to the
University.
Eight months after she first sued UNC
for creating a hostile work environment,
the former student-athlete learning
specialist reached a settlement with the
University during mediation this week.
Willingham will receive monetary compensation as part of the settlement.
She originally sought to return to the
University, according to the lawsuit she
filed in June.
I feel good. I think that it was time to
get back to the real issue at stake here,
which is that the athletes need to get a
real education and we need to fix the
college sports system, said Willingham
in an interview Tuesday. Thats where I
need to focus my efforts, and we all need
to focus on fixing that as a problem.
Details of the settlement will be
released after theyre approved by
Judge Terrence Boyle.
Willingham declined to say how
much she will receive from the suit. In
her original complaint, Willingham
asked for at least $10,000.
We believe the settlement is in the
best interest of the University and allows
us to move forward and fully focus on
other important issues, said Rick White,
the associate vice chancellor for communications and public affairs.
Willingham said she was pleased
with how mediation went. She said
Chancellor Carol Folt was present during the mediation, along with both
sides teams of lawyers.

Willingham first gained recognition
in January 2014, when she released
research that showed 60 percent of the
183 athletes in her study could only
read between a fourth- and eighthgrade reading level.
In the ensuing months, the
University tried to dismantle
Willinghams claims, an effort the lawsuit says was largely led by Provost Jim
Dean. Willingham said the University
violated her whistleblower protection rights, which are defined in the
North Carolina Whisteblower Act.
Willingham ultimately resigned at the
end of the spring 2014 semester after
an hour-long meeting with Folt.
This weeks settlement should
empower other people in similar positions to expose institutional wrongdoing, Willingham said.
I would also like whistleblowers
here and across the country to recognize that we can stand up to the system
and, in the end, truth will prevail and
we can win, she said.
Going forward, Willingham said
shes excited to take advantage of the
ongoing national conversation on athletics to fix the parts of the collegiate
model she believes are broken.
We have a little bit of movement
going theres a lot of interest in the
college sports model, Willingham said.
She said shes working with groups
like The Drake Group, Inc. to produce
papers on college athletics. Shes also
working with middle school students to
help them improve their reading comprehension and vocabulary.
Its one ball out of the air, but theres
still so many balls in the air, Willingham
said. Now we can take one out and
focus on the others still in the air.

Spider thief, spider thief
122 years of editorial freedom

JENNY SURANE
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
The Daily Tar Heel
From staff and wire reports
othing is safe from being stolen anymore if dangerous and

poisonous spiders are now being taken. A man in Georgia
has reported that someone broke into his crawlspace and
stole five of his 18 pet tarantulas. The man said he didnt
notice the spiders were missing until a local pet store called and told him
that five tarantulas had just been sold to the business. The man said the
spiders were kept in the crawlspace for hibernation during winter. The
police have now issued a warrant for the spider thief.
While its scary that people now are stealing poisonous spiders instead
of the traditional jewels or cash, the more frightening thing is that there
is a man in Georgia who has 18 tarantulas for pets. For pets!
NOTED. You know youve hit it big when

insects are named after you. A researcher
from the Boston area discovered a new
species of wasp in Kenya. He decided
to call on his sports fandom for naming
inspiration. The wasp species is named
Thaumatodryinus tuukkaraski after
Boston Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask.
QUOTED. Really cause last time I remember Carolina couldnt make it to the Duke
game last year.
A highly confused N.C. State fan trying to throw shade at UNC. Thankfully,
the fan did our job of making fun of N.C.
State fans for us. We couldnt have said it
better ourselves.

Report finds
UNC Hospitals
overbilled
Investigators say UNC overbilled
Medicare by about $2.5 million .
By Katie Kilmartin
Staff Writer
in the hospital, they dont have anything to

entertain them.
We have craft kits to take from the playroom to their room, Mitchell said.
The sorority has a picture frame cardboard
cutout where students can take pictures of
themselves and then post them to Instagram
using the hashtag #TriSigmaWOK.
Every picture you take in our frame, we
donate a craft kit in your name, Mitchell said.
The members want to give back to the
community and not just make this a public
relations event for Sigma Sigma Sigma,
Vance said.
Its just about doing something out of
the kindness of your heart.
A review by the Office of Inspector General

revealed UNC Hospitals overbilled Medicare
by $2.5 million between January 2011 and
September 2012.
The investigation found that UNC incorrectly
billed Medicare for 59 of 251 inpatient and outpatient claims. But UNC claims that only three
of the 59 claims were billed incorrectly. UNC
said the three claims it acknowledges to have
over-billed were caused by human error.
In a statement, Margaret Dardess, UNC Health
Systems interim chief audit and compliance officer,
said UNC Hospitals will appeal all but three claims
from the Inspector Generals review.
UNC Hospitals has a robust compliance
program to support accurate billing and coding,
Dardess said.
The Office of Inspector General recommended
the Hospitals refund the Medicare contractor
and improve its efforts to comply with Medicare.
Out of the 244 inpatient claims reviewed by
the investigators, it was found that 58 inpatient
claims overbilled Medicare by $451,412.
The investigators reviewed seven outpatient
claims and found that one claim overbilled
Medicare, which UNC said was the result of a
lack of coordination between people in separate
departments. This claim over-billed by $583.
For 37 of the inpatient claims, the report said
UNC Hospitals billed for beneficiary stays that
should have been billed as outpatient claims. For
19 of the inpatient claims, the Hospitals submitted incorrect codes, according to the report.
Dardess said UNC Hospitals acknowledges
that human error resulted in some of the claims
but refutes the idea that the hospital system
doesnt have an adequate system for preventing
billing errors.
UNC Hospitals takes compliance with program
requirements seriously and has devoted extensive
resources and adopted comprehensive measures to
support its billing programs, she said.
Richard Saver, who is a professor in the UNC
School of Law, said hospitals encounter billing
problems with Medicare due to the complexity of
the program and submission of codes.
Sometimes there is disagreement as to how
to code a particular round of care, he said.
Sometimes the guidance from the government
as to how to code is unclear.
Joan Krause, a professor in the UNC School of
Law, said completing an internal investigation to
determine if the government is wrong is important when responding to audits as a lawyer.
Strategically, you have to find if it is worth
arguing about, she said.

Sigma Sigma Sigma is bringing extra cheer to campus

By Acy Jackson
Staff Writer
In a week full of snow, members of

Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority are going to
be all over campus handing out little bits
of sunshine.
This week, the sorority has planned Week
of Kindness events, where they are handing
out trinkets and treats to brighten the days
of students passing by.
We want to cheer up the dreary season
of midterms, said Sigma Sigma Sigma
president Emma Hanmer.
Hanmer said she is overseeing the week,
advising those running it directly.
They will be handing out items like pins,
chocolate kisses and hand-warmers along
with a collection of other trinkets and treats
that they feel students will enjoy.
We were looking for a big way to show
the community we care, Hanmer said.
The decision came from UNCs chapter
in an effort to figure out a way to show their
love for what brings them together.
We got together as a chapter and
thought about whats something that

connects as a whole, said Sigma Sigma
Sigma member Tori Mitchell. Our love for
Carolina community, and this is giving back
to that.
Mitchell is in charge of the day-to-day
activities and is spearheading the event.
Members will distribute gifts in classrooms and hold events such as a puppy date
in the Pit Thursday and Friday.
Weve been really pleasantly surprised
with how people have responded so far, said
Sigma Sigma Sigma membership recruitment director Caroline Vance.
Vance is in charge of organization of the
Week Of Kindness and making sure there are
volunteers for each day.
Not only is the group giving back to UNC
students but also to the kids at the N.C.
Childrens Hospital.
The Sigma Sigma Sigma Foundation
specifically works with the Robbie Page Play
Atrium at the Childrens Hospital.
Mitchell explained that the kids at the
hospital play on the playground in the atrium, but when they go back to their rooms
Its just about doing

something out of the kindness
of your heart.

New leader chosen to revamp NC Democratic Party

Patsy Keever says she has big plans
leading up to the 2016 election.
By Eric Surber
Staff Writer
Patsy Keever has been tapped as the new chairwoman of the North Carolina Democratic Party
and she knows she has her work cut out for her.
Keever said she plans to address the organizations structural and financial challenges and
improve the partys election fortunes in 2016.
We are looking at trying to pay off some debt,
said Keever, formerly first vice chairwoman of the
party. We are looking to bring some people back
into the flocks who have strayed and gotten discouraged. What Im trying to do is change the attitude (outside of) and within the Democratic Party.
Under its former leadership, the party
amassed debt and began the year with only
$42,700, according to a report filed with the
North Carolina State Board of Elections.
George Fisher, a liberal North Carolina politics blogger, said in an email that the partys lack
of financial savvy is among its biggest problems.
In addition to addressing financial challenges,
Keever said she plans on hiring new staff and
installing a new executive director who she hopes
will be chosen by Mothers Day.
We are rearranging things a bit to get more
of a team flavor, she said. Im very much a team
player, and Im very excited about my fellow
officers. The administration before me was more
controlling; its just a different style.
But with several Democratic losses in the
2014 midterm elections, prominent members of
the N.C. Democratic Party are concerned.

Whether its fundraising or outreach, were
going to have to fight to rebrand and reorganize
so that we can effectively position ourselves, said
Louis Duke, president of the College Democrats
of North Carolina.
Matt Hughes, chairman of Orange County
Democrats, said the biggest challenge to the partys
success is establishing relationships with party
leaders, elected officials and grassroots Democrats.
Fisher likewise said relationship-building
should be among Keevers top priorities.
Keever needs to actually build relationships
and not just talk about building relationships,
Fisher said. She cant rely on surrogates to do it
either she has to put the time in listening to caucus leaders, the county leaders and minorities.
In addition, Fisher said Keever needs to
address prior unpopular actions a voter-shaming letter and misidentifying a transgendered
woman in January for the party to best move
forward. Keever has apologized for both actions.
Hughes said he thinks theres renewed energy
in the party.
I believe that voters will look to Democrats
running next year, especially for governor, to
turn our state around, he said.
Keever, having just returned from Fridays
Democratic National Committee winter meeting
in Washington, said she thinks the partys success relies heavily on voter turnout.
Thats our biggest problem as Democrats is
getting out that vote, Keever said. My challenge
to each precinct is to get 16 more votes than they
did in 2012.

Mens golf falls short against ACC opponents in tournament

The North Carolina mens
golf team placed ninth in
the Puerto Rico Classic.
By David Allen Jr.
Staff Writer
All Coach Andrew Sapp wanted

to talk about Tuesday was the snow
in Chapel Hill, which would be
unsurprising if not for the fact that
he and the North Carolina mens golf
team were still in Puerto Rico.
Coming off of a two-tournament
win streak, the Tar Heels finished
in ninth place in the Puerto Rico
Classic on Tuesday, behind a few
ACC foes: Georgia Tech in second,

Clemson in sixth and Virginia Tech
in eighth. Meanwhile, the Bulldogs
from Georgia took home the top
prize.
It was sophomore Henry Do from
Canton, Mich., who led UNC at the
Rio Mar River Course, finishing tied
for 11th at two-under-par for the
tournament.
Freshman phenom Ben Griffin
also joined the top 20, finishing tied
for 19th after struggling the first day
with a five-over 77.
I was a little underprepared after
some bad weather in Chapel Hill
last week, Griffin said.
It definitely limited my preparation, but I learned from this and
definitely came back stronger in the

final two rounds.
The Tar Heels faced curbed practice times last week with the snowstorm that hit the Triangle area, having to play indoors and hit off mats
for most of the week.
Do said last weeks weather
played a factor in the teams rough
start but was something he was used
to as a Northerner.
Hitting off mats is something
Im used to, being from Michigan,
Do said. For the team in general,
it was definitely pretty tough,
though.
After the end of the first round,
UNC was toward the back of the
pack 13th out of 15 teams an
area the team is unfamiliar with.

Sapp said the first round cost
the Tar Heels the tournament, but
it also helped the team develop
a new mentality of playing from
behind.
I told them after round one that
the best thing we can do is try to win
each day, Sapp said.
We played much improved during the final two rounds as a team
thats all you can ask for.
As the final round was coming to a
close, UNC sat at nine-under-par for
the day, its best of the tournament.
But the final three holes presented a challenge for the Tar Heels
as they shot 12-over-par as a team,
causing them to slide in the tourna-
ments final standings.

Those last few holes really hurt
us, Sapp said. It left a bitter taste in
our mouths.
This UNC team has shown signs
of greatness with three wins on the
year, and even after a rough outing
in Puerto Rico, it still has its sights
set on competing at the highest
level.
I think were all looking forward
to the ACC Championships and
hopefully winning as a team, Griffin
said.
The wins we have had this season were huge for us and prove what
were capable of.

The Daily Tar Heel
Carolina Cupboard seeks participants

By Emily Lowe
Staff Writer
DTH FILE/JOHANNA FEREBEE

Roderick Gladney (right), founder and chairman of Carolina Cupboard, an organization that provides free food to the UNC campus community, helps recruit new members in the Pit in October.
Since October, Carolina

Cupboard has been successful
in its goal of bringing food to
the campus community, but
it has not yet seen the student
attendance the group expected.
The campus food pantry
has fundraised for necessary
resources, filled its shelves
with a bounty of nutritious
options and opened its doors
to anyone with an Onyen and
an empty stomach.
The groups greatest need
now is not food, money, or
staff members although all
are always welcome but
participants instead.
For senior Roderick
Gladney, too few people have
traveled to the basement of
Avery Residence Hall to take
advantage of the food.
Gladney, Carolina
Cupboard founder and chairman, admits that the pantry
has not been successful in
bringing in hungry students.
We want to see more students come and use the pantry
thats our biggest obstacle
right now, Gladney said.
He said both pride and a
lack of publicity about the

pantry have contributed to
the lack of participants.
I think its a Carolina
pride thing, Gladney said.
The biggest problem we
have is publicity about its
availability. A lot of people
dont really realize that its an
available resource to them.
Shift leader Keagan Trahan
believes because Carolina
Cupboard is so new, members
need to focus on increasing
the organizations publicity.
I have friends all the time
who say, Oh, Im so hungry,
but I have nothing to eat or I
need food, but I cant go grocery shopping right now, and
I try to tell them that the food
pantry is for situations like
that, Trahan said.
Although Carolina
Cupboard is primarily devoted
to those facing financial hardship, others are encouraged to
use the cupboard as well.
Even if theyre not necessarily food insecure, we still
appreciate people coming in
and utilizing us as a resource,
shift leader Zaid Khatib said.
Khatib notes that the best
way to raise awareness is
through social media outlets.
FOOD POVERTY PANEL

Carolina Cupboard co-hosts
a panel on food insecurity
in the black community.
Time: 5:30 p.m. today
Location: SASB Upendo
Info: on.fb.me/1DSf2fs
Trahan, also on Carolina

Cupboards fundraising
board, said the group has
started to used fundraisers as
a tool for publicity as much as
food collection.
Gladney said Carolina
Cupboard is working hard to
raise awareness of its resources.
They are currently working on
a marketing video that Gladney
anticipates will be released
within the next two months.
Despite the lack of participation, Gladney is confident there
is a need for the cupboard on
campus and is determined to
see it succeed in helping the
campus community.
Theres always going to be
a need for food for students,
and theres always going to be
food poverty on this campus.
Interactive Theatre Carolina looks at the body

ITC returns to perform
for Eating Disorder
Awareness Week.
By Jun Chou
Staff Writer
Interactive Theatre
Carolina is posing an important question but not in a
way one would expect.
The companys show,
What Are You Looking At?
strives to create a discussion
about problematic media
messages and body image
issues across gender and race.
The 90-minute show has

been going on every semester
since last spring and is appropriately performed during
National Eating Disorders
Awareness Week this year.
Freshman Sydney Lark, an
actress in the show, said she
wants the audience to walk
out feeling empowered.
Its intended to give
people media literacy about
race, about body image, about
men and women, she said.
To make people aware that
any negative body image is
because of what society and
the media has put out.
The show is comprised of
SEE THE SHOW

Time: 7 p.m. tonight and
tomorrow
Location: UNC School of
Social Work Auditorium
Info: http://bit.ly/1Fyo5UO
four different scenes of everyday situations, such as college-aged women shopping at

Target and guys working out
at the gym.
Despite the routine scenarios, freshman and actress in
the piece Cara Pugh called it
an action-packed and dramafilled show.
Its a really important
piece because it brings in a lot
of different themes that college students face on a daily
basis in an interactive way so
that students are interested,
Pugh said.
Its exciting and energizing and you leave with a good
message of something to talk
about afterwards.
Sophomore Holly Bullis,
also an actress, is returning
from last semester to perform
in the show.
I really loved the message
and everything in the script
hit home for me, she said.
Its definitely changed the
way I view society around me
and the way I approach problems about poverty, racism,
sexism.
Like all of Interactive
Theatre Carolinas pieces,
there will be facilitators leading the audience in a discussion.
Before Interactive Theatre
Carolina, I never thought
about teaching social justice
through skits, Lark said.
The cast and I are all social
justice warriors I think the
fact that we are all so passion-

ate about the material is what

makes the show so unique.
Since 2007, Interactive
Theatre Carolina has served
over 35,000 students and
believes that interaction
allows audience members to
examine and change their
own preexisting beliefs.
How many times do you
as a student get to be interac-
tive with a piece of artwork?

Pugh asked. We want people
to leave and never forget that
your body is yours and you
have the final say what to do
with it.
Senior and Interactive
Theatre Carolina member
Noah Boyd said he doesnt
want the audience to confuse
it with a preachy after-school
special.
We arent trying to sugarcoat anything but at the same
time we arent going to jump
out at you with a bunch of
expletives, he said. Its just
a very real way to look at real
problems and show that they
are real problems.

Beginning today, Chapel

Hill Town Council member
Lee Storrow will begin hosting
a series of town hall events to
meet Chapel Hill citizens oneon-one and to receive direct
feedback from residents.
While the town council lets
citizens talk at every meeting,
I think speaking at a podium
in front of the council for three
minutes isnt the best way to
have a profound dialogue,
Storrow said. For the last
couple of years, I have had lots
of different informal events
to provide feedback open
office hours at coffee shops,
focus groups.
The first event will be today
at DSI Comedy Theater at 5:30
p.m. with Meg McGurk, executive director of the Chapel Hill
Downtown Partnership. She
will be answering frequently
asked questions about downtown Chapel Hill.
This is a great opportunity
to get citizens, business owners
and community leaders to have
a conversation about what different interests and thoughts
they have, Storrow said.

The second meeting will
take place Saturday at Rogers
Road Community Center at
1 p.m. to discuss social and
environmental justice.
The third session will be
at the Siena Hotel on March
5 and will discuss economic
development. The last event
will be at the Chapel Hill
Library March 12 with speakers from the Orange County
Board of Commissioners and
UNC discussing intergovernmental relations.
This is a great vehicle to
get platforms out and to the
forefront, said David Caldwell,
director of the Rogers Eubanks
Neighborhood Association. It
is a great addition to communication for the community.
Caldwell said these events
give Chapel Hill residents a
chance to put a face to the
sometimes unapproachable
politicians and to see their
mannerisms and attitudes.
I am happy to see politicians coming out from behind
the desk and meeting citizens
firsthand, Caldwell said.
While each town hall
has a designated topic, Earl
McKee, chairman of the

Orange County Board of
Commissioners, said the conversation will not be limited
by that.
I am open to discuss anything, McKee said. I dont
think it should be limited.
The topic is just a leadoff. The
conversation will go wherever
the people want it to.
Storrow and McKee hope
to learn more about the areas
of interest for residents.
One thing that is important
to me is that it allows me to
have feedback from the folks
paying the bills, McKee said.
So far, 26 people have registered to attend the first town
hall event on Wednesday,
and 36 people in total have
reserved their places for the
other three parts of the series.
I think it is an excellent
way to get information out to
people and a great opportunity to meet elected officials
one on one, McKee said. It is
helpful to create conversations
and be informative because
it will allow people to ask the
questions on their mind.

Feds eye Ferguson Police Department

Experts say the city
will likely settle any
federal lawsuit.
By Lauren Hong
Staff Writer
The U.S. Justice

Department might soon end
up in a legal battle against
Ferguson if the citys police
department doesnt make
major changes to address
racially discriminatory tactics.
The Justice Department is
expected to release a report
outlining findings that allege
a pattern of discriminatory
tactics used by the Ferguson
police, according to CNN. If
the police department refuses
to review and change these
strategies, the department
could force change by suing.
Attorney General Eric
Holder plans to announce
the results of an investiga-
tion into the August shooting

death of unarmed black teen
Michael Brown and a broader
probe of the Ferguson Police
Department before he leaves
office in upcoming weeks.
Ted Shaw, a UNC law
professor, said the Justice
Department has sued cities for
police misconduct in the past
bringing action against law
enforcement officials who have
acted in ways that discriminate
against individuals.
It does not happen often,
but they have done investigations on shootings where race
was the issue, he said.
Shaw said it is difficult to
say if the potential lawsuit
would have a significant
impact on decreasing tensions
between police and minorities.
It ultimately depends on
if the Justice Department
brings in action against the
police department if it is
litigated and Ferguson makes
changes, they are bound by
them. If Ferguson is incalcitrant and wants to get out

from underneath the thumb
of federal supervision in this
area, then it might not make
a difference, he said.
Frank Baumgartner, a UNC
political science professor, said
federal officials would have to
be able to prove racial discrimination beyond reasonable
doubt and find substantial evidence in institutional practice
written in the departments
rules and norms and in the
training of the officers.
Typically what we find is
that there might be statistical disparities, but whether it
is deliberate is the question,
Baumgartner said.
He said cities usually reach
an agreement and settle. If
the Justice Department does
file a lawsuit, itll be time consuming and bad publicity.
If they dont sue, Ferguson
is under a lot of pressure to
clean up its act or to change
It is important for
the government to
do this. It is
significant
Ted Shaw,
professor in the UNC School of Law
things I imagine they have

already started to change
things, Baumgartner said.
He said the federal government would not sue unless officials thought they would win.
Ashley Harris, a UNC
senior, said federal action
against Ferguson would be a
step in the right direction.
Its not just Ferguson that
has this problem, she said.
I applaud Ferguson and I
applaud the protestors that
say something about it. I dont
applaud what actions the
police officers are making now.
There are obviously some
racial disparities that should

Chinatown in Oakland, California, on Wednesday, Nov. 26, 2014.
be addressed, agreed junior

Cameron Bynum.
Shaw said he applauds the
Justice Department for pushing for change in Ferguson.
If the federal government says it is a pattern of
practice of misconduct and
racial discrimination and not
just focused in the mind of a

police officer when he pulled
the trigger, thats different
and about systematic change
it is important for the government to do this. It is significant, it is meaningful.

Flyleaf, Cats Cradle host rock legend

Kim Gordon will give
a talk sponsored by
local businesses.
By Ryan Schocket
Staff Writer
Rock legend, fashion icon

and bonafide rebel Kim
Gordon is heading to Cats
Cradle tonight to talk about
her new memoir, Girl in a
Band.
The talk is one of many
events that Cats Cradle and
Flyleaf Books have teamed
up to host.
The event a conversation between Gordon and her
friend, drummer Jon Wurster
will give audience members the chance to ask their
own questions.
To read her memoir and
to understand what shes
done with her life and with
her career is to understand
todays culture a little better, said Flyleaf Books owner
Jamie Fiocco.
Shes just an icon of culture.
Gordon is the founder of
the widely influential rock
band Sonic Youth. She has
toured with Nirvana, curated
her own world-renowned
clothing line.
Girl in a Band provides
readers with vignettes about
the rock world Gordon
changed and dominated for
COURTESY OF EMILY HOMONOFF

Kim Gordon, the co-founder of Sonic Youth, will be speaking at
Cats Cradle with Jon Wurster on Wednesday about her memoir.
nearly three decades.

The book also touches
on personal topics, including marriage, motherhood,
feminism and Gordons time
spent in the 80s and 90s in
New York City.

Although the outspoken
feminist has described herself
as aloof and opaque, Girl in
a Band has proven to be an
outlet for Gordons opinions
Granny Pods could

come to Carrboro
The pods would be an
affordable option for
elderly people.
By Marisa Bakker
Staff Writer
Out the back door and over

the lawn, to grandmothers
house we go or at least,
thats the idea behind a new
alternative to nursing homes.
The Carrboro Board of
Aldermen is considering
approving zoning protections for accessory dwelling
units, known as Granny
Pods, in single-family neighborhoods. The units could
be used to accommodate onsite care for aging seniors,
offering the dual function
of proximity and privacy
for seniors, families and
caregivers, said Kenneth
Dupin, founder and CEO of
MEDCottage.
Dupin pioneered
the Granny Pods with
MEDCottage, a Virginia-based
company that develops and
installs the units as an affordable alternative to assisted living and nursing homes.
Really and truly, it
allows the family to preserve
wealth because its defined
in other words, you lease
it or you purchase it and
it doesnt consume wealth
the same way that a nursing home or assisted living
would, Dupin said.
Affordable housing is currently an issue in Carrboro
as town officials strive to find
ways to alleviate high costs
of living.
One way to look at it, in
terms of accessory dwellings,
is a way to meet affordability
issues, said Alderwoman
Randee Haven-ODonnell.
Alderwoman Bethany
Chaney said that while she
believes the Granny Pods
could offer affordable housing options for seniors, she
doesnt think it will be the
end-all be-all of affordability, which she described as a
moving target.
Despite the units affordability, in the past five years,
MEDCottage has only been
able to place five of them,
even though the company
has received thousands of
inquiries.
It has so much to do with
the cultural, municipal resistance to the idea of it being
placed on someones property
theres been resistance to
this idea of a shack in the
backyard that later on can be
used for college kids or bad
kids, Dupin said.
In other low-income areas
in the area, college students
have moved in, causing rents
to rise. This forces longtime
residents out of their homes.
It doesnt consume wealth the same way

that a nursing home would.
Kenneth Dupin,
founder and CEO of MEDCottage
Chaney and HavenODonnell said they were

concerned the units would
be used to house college students, which would drive up
housing prices and prevent
the units from being used by
their intended recipients.
My concern is whether or
not itll really meet the goal
of helping people stay in their
homes, Chaney said.
Are the people that are
going to be putting these on
lots really the ones that need
them the most, or are they
going to be people that are
opportunistic?
To ease community concerns, Dupin said the town
should restrict the function

of the units to temporary
caregiving measures. He said
Virginia uses a prescriptionlike model, which owners can
renew yearly as needed.
Despite concerns, affordable housing is currently at the
top of Carrboros list of priorities, Haven-ODonnell said.
The goal is to have a
diverse community, she said.
In order to have a diverse
community, weve got to be
able to meet the affordability
needs of diverse incomes,
because thats what democracy looks like.
on other musicians.
Gordon has recently made
headlines and news feeds
across the country for her
controversial statements
on Lana Del Rey, Courtney
Love and Thurston Moore,
her ex-husband.
The event is also a partial
benefit for Girls Rock N.C., a
nonprofit organization that
hosts summer camps for
young girls and women who
are interested in learning
how to write and perform
songs and creatively express
themselves.
Since its birth 10 years ago,
the program has held over
40 programs for girls in the
Triangle Area.
The goal is for them to
become engaged and confident community members.
We have this mantra that
focuses on three Cs: creativity,
confidence and collaboration, said Girl Rocks N.C.
co-founder and 1992 UNC
graduate Beth Turner.
Emily Homonoff, assistant
publicist for HarperCollins
Publishers, said UNC students should attend the talk
to be exposed to a rock icon.
Part of the beauty of Girl
in a Band is introducing Kim
to a new generation, she said.
Itll be a phenomenal
opportunity to familiarize
college students with Kims
outstanding career.
Gordons chronicles about
the world of rock n roll
reveal her to be an independent role model something this events organizers

are hoping will resonate
with others.
Kim Gordon is a legend.
She is a living legend, Turner
said.

FEATURED ONLINE READER COMMENT
Color Commentary
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Ted Shaw, on the federal governments Ferguson investigation
Ishmael Bishop
nder what conditions

is it appropriate to use
the phrase, All Lives
Matter in response to violence?
Perhaps it would be when the
violence is systemically visited
upon white presenting bodies.
If it makes very little sense
to respond with White Lives
Matter, seeing how America
has never had a problem with
privileging white lives, then it
makes no sense at all to generalize oppression.
Perhaps it makes sense to
use All Lives Matter when
responding to violence visited
upon people of color, specifically African-American bodies.
If this is the case, the one time
American history has paid
attention to non-white bodies,
then using #BlackLivesMatter
should suffice.
Black Lives Matter is a
movement, not just a hashtag
created by three queer women
of color in response to the consistent devaluation of black life.
Their movement, though begun
in response to violence, also
sought to clarify ways black life
matters wherever it is misused
or devalued.
Their movement, which has
since been co-opted, stolen and
perverted, was not AfricanAmerican Lives Matter.
Instead, it centered around
black lives, understanding
blackness has been constructed
in opposition to whiteness.
#BlackLivesMatter is not
exclusive to black men, but
because of the ways in which
whiteness and patriarchy pervade our lives, and because
neither was included in the
movement, people of color that
did not identify as black or male
began to feel excluded. Thus the
movement was susceptible to
a fill-in-the-blank hashtag that
logically replaced black lives
with all lives. This reluctance to
explicitly emphasize black lives
has once again led to the erasure
of those who exist in opposition
to white supremacy.
I see the term black much
like a political party, a grouping
together of people whose identities are considered non-white,
regardless of whether they claim
the African ancestry habitually associated with blackness.
Many POC hesitate to identify
as black; some do not want to
delegitimize the oppression of
bodies displaced in the African
diaspora. Others, understandably, choose not to identify as
black because of the systemic
oppression black people have
faced in this country. Whod
want to be black in this racist
country, anyway?
It is not necessary to
replace the black in
#BlackLivesMatter and fill in
the blank. The white gaze does
not differentiate its opposition
to non-white bodies, though
it discriminates and oppresses
differently. As a person of color,
solidarity with another group of
people does not mean we have
to locate the commonalities of
oppression. For example, black
people do not have to face similar religious persecution to be
in solidarity with Muslim folks,
but we must all recognize that
we all face some form of oppression under the rule of white
supremacy.
It is a project of whiteness
to break our bonds. Choosing
to eliminate black from
#BlackLivesMatter is to completely eradicate black people
from any space that works to
legitimize community.

Chancellor Folt
EDITORIAL
Shed light on donations

The Chapel Hill
Foundation should
release more.
hancellor Carol
Folts decision to
release a Form
990 for the Chapel Hill
Foundation is an admirable one, but she should
also push the foundation to release budget
information for those
years that it opted not to
release any information to
the public about its ongoing operations.
The foundation is the
Universitys primary
donation arm. Earlier
this month, The Daily
Tar Heel reported that
the organization took

advantage of its status
as a nonprofit to avoid
fulfilling public record
requests while using
its connection to the
University as the basis
for claiming an exemption from filing a Form
990, a form nonprofits
are required to file with
the IRS.
Form 990s often
include information
about an organizations
income, net assets and
executive compensation.
They also require organizations to disclose whether they initiated any new
activities or changed their
governing processes.
This is information
that the public deserves

to know about the fund,
which was used to pay for
the Wainstein report and
UNCs mounting legal fees.
Citing her ongoing
commitment to transparency, Folt said she
decided that the foundation will file a Form 990
for the last fiscal year by
May 15.
The chancellor should
take that commitment
one step further by calling on the foundation to
release the information
that would have been
included in these forms
for every year since fiscal year 2007-08, the last
time the foundation filed a
Form 990.
EDITORIAL
Economies of fail
A new energy
future empowers
communities.
oliticians of all
stripes love to talk
about renewable
energy. When they make
bland allusions to an allof-the-above energy policy, they omit key aspects
of our conundrums unsustainability: production
and distribution.
Surprisingly, some Tea
Party groups take a more
progressive stance than
President Barack Obama.
Groups such as the Green
Tea Coalition are advocat-
ing for decentralized power

production from a consumer protection angle. In
this model, communities
produce their own energy
from renewables such as
solar panels or biomass,
lessening dependence on
utility companies.
The centralized energy
utility model incentivizes
further development of
unsustainable energies
and allows its managers to
cheat ratepayers.
The Charlotte Observer
reported in November
that Michael Jacobs,
chairman of the Coal Ash
Management Commission,
said everyone would share
the $3.4 billion cost of

cleaning up the Dan River
coal ash spill including
Dukes ratepayers. Jacobs
was appointed to his position by Gov. Pat McCrory, a
former Duke Energy boss.
The utilities recognize
a necessary shift toward
the community model. In
a 2015 survey of over 400
industry executives, 31 percent saw distributed energy
resources as the biggest
growth opportunity over
the next five years.
North Carolina utilities
must adapt to the distributed model or become
irrelevant in the face of a
market transformation.

On Wednesdays, we wear the truth

STATUS
TRUE
Its no secret that the UNC
Board of Governors has its
own plans for the systems
campuses. Or, as Hermione
Granger might explain it to
a bemused Ron Weasley,
The Ministrys interfering
at Hogwarts!
But do the Dolores
Umbridges of the BOG
really have the authority to
decide whether the Center
for Poverty, Work and Opportunity will be able to
teach Defense Against the
Dark Art Popes?
After reviewing language
brought to our attention
Tuesday by a letter to the
editor, it appears both
campus and system policy
require approval from the
Board of Trustees for discontinuation of centers and
institutes. The BOGs recommendations remain, for the
time being, just that.
STATUS
HALF-TRUTH
As soon as the cars
started piling up outside
of South Building on Tuesday morning, students
were quick to call for a
decree from Chancellor
Carol Folt on the matter of
class cancellations.
The hashtag #WheresCarol trended momentarily in Chapel Hill, often
accompanied by a photo
of her empty parking
space. As it turned out,
Folt was in California. But
did she deserve to be the
target of students ire in
the first place?
Well, technically, yes.
The final decision about
cancellations and university operations rests with
the Chancellor, but shes
advised by a host of others, especially when shes
thousands of miles away
from Chapel Hill.
STATUS
WHOPPER
Last week, Nathan
Knuffman of the fiscal
research division in the
Office of State Budget
and Management
and economist Barry
Boardman released a
memo predicting the state
would face a $271 million
budget shortfall for 2015.
There is no reason to doubt
that these two men are
capable at their jobs, nor to
suggest they are trying to
sabotage public confidence.
No, N.C. House
Republican Leader Paul
Stam is perfectly capable
of doing that himself,
lambasting these experts
for doing their jobs and
insisting there will be no
budget shortfall. Prepare
for more budget cuts
because he sure as hell
wont allow a return to a
sane tax code.
TO THE EDITOR:
Dear Chancellor Folt,
The undersigned faculty
were dismayed, though not
surprised, to learn of the
Board of Governors report
recommending the closure
of the Center on Poverty,
Work and Opportunity
directed by our colleague
Gene Nichol. The reasons
provided circulate around
the notion of advocacy, a
notion that has, we fear,
been dangerously entangled
with partisan politics.
The pursuit of knowledge
cannot be divorced from
taking positions on issues
that may be controversial.
To argue, for example, that
vaccines are not a cause of
autism, or that the poverty
rate in North Carolina has
increased relative to that in
other states over the past
five years cannot be easily
disconnected from implications about what behaviors
or policies may address such
issues. But to judge statements about such implications immediately along
the partisan divides of the
moment short-circuits the
academic work aimed at
contributing to the general
welfare of our society.
This attempt to shut down
the work of the Center on
Poverty strikes us as blatant
censorship, directed personally at the centers director,
Gene Nichol. If his columns
in the (Raleigh) News &
Observer irritate readers in
Raleigh, he is fulfilling the
noble Socratic role of gadfly.
His opinions, which are
protected by academic freedom, are supported by facts,
which it is the responsibility
of academics to respect.
Our mission at UNC is
to promote truths, however
unpleasant they may be to
some constituents. We call
upon you stand up for our
colleague Gene Nichols
right to speak his mind and
for the basic principle of
academic freedom.
As our chancellor, we
expect you to shield the
University and its faculty against the Board of
Governors ideas of what we
can or cannot teach, what
we can and cannot take as
the subjects of our research.
We urge you not to follow
the recommendation made
by the working group of the
Board of Governors.
Academic freedom is
not a difficult position
to affirm. We look to you
to defend the most basic
rights of our colleague. The
Center on Poverty, Work
and Opportunity receives no
state funding. We ask you
to work out a way for the
center to continue its good
work studying the causes
of and possible remedies
to poverty. The Center on
Poverty is doing work crucial to the well-being of the
state, in keeping with the
Universitys charter.
This is not an issue
about which we should be
ashamed and silent. We are
proud of the work Gene
Nichol has done, and we
hope that you are as well.
He and his center deserve

our support, not our capitulation. We implore you to
use all your powers of leadership and stand with us on
this most crucial issue.

The BOT responds to

Saunders concerns
TO THE EDITOR:
On behalf of the Board
of Trustees, we thank students, faculty, staff and
alumni for providing valuable feedback related to the
request to rename Saunders
Hall and the larger question of fully understanding
the Universitys history.
Last May, we welcomed
the opportunity to hear
students concerns about
Saunders Hall, explained
the Universitys current
naming policy and committed to follow up. We have
been researching the issues,
gathering facts and listening
to a wide range of interested
people. We continue to seek
input and ideas from the
Carolina community.
Like most U.S. universities founded in the 18th
century, the University of
North Carolina has honored
leaders who made great contributions to the University
by placing their names on
buildings, grounds and
monuments. Our challenge is to be responsive to
concerns without imposing
current social norms on past
decisions and ignoring the
Universitys rich and complex 221-year-old history,
good and bad.
Finding a comprehensive solution is not simple.
Ultimately, we want to develop a long-term approach that
reflects Carolinas values. We
have a unique opportunity to
help make our conversations
part of Carolinas educational
experience.
Our board embraces this
naming issue. Our students
have raised important concerns about which we are
obligated to respond thoroughly and thoughtfully. We
are grateful for the support
of Chancellor Folt during our
fact-finding and listening
process. We will provide an
update during the University
Affairs Committee meeting
at our March trustee meeting on our progress and on
future steps.
