Lack of rape alerts draws complaints

Students say they should have been told about report sooner.
By Jeanna Smialek
City Editor

The investigation into a rape reported near campus at roughly 2 a.m. Thursday morning has turned up few leads and has left some questioning whether the campus should have been alerted to a potential threat. Sgt. Josh Mecimore, spokesman for Chapel Hill Police Department, said police are looking for two black men, one of whom has a scar on his face, in connection with the crime. He said police do not know if the woman who reported the rape, a 27-year-old who is not a student at UNC-Chapel Hill, knew her attacker.

I think its a very traumatic situation, and so were still waiting to get information, he said. Meanwhile, some students have criticized campus officials and media outlets for not informing the campus when the rape was reported. We realized that there was no Alert Carolina, and it didnt show up in The Daily Tar Heel until almost a day later, said Cassandra Etter-Wenzel, a UNC junior. This is something that really should have been reported. Based on police reports, though the incident occurred in an on-campus alley near Franklin Street, the young woman reported it off campus in an area near Cosmic Cantina.

Greek Unity Day
An event aimed at uniting the Greek and non-Greek community on campus. Jack Partain, president of the Interfraternity Council, said it would be possible to organize the event. I dont know if it would seem a bit forced or be that useful, but it would be an interesting experiment, Partain said.

Hark the Sound

A website where students can voice their concerns to student government. Student Body President Mary Cooper said the site is similar to her own Fix My Campus initiative. It is always important to think of ways that student government can be open and accessible to hearing students thoughts, Cooper said.

Initiative 1

Create a website compiling financial resources on campus. We make it a whole lot easier than what this proposal sounds like it would be, said Phillip Asbury, deputy director of the financial aid office. The office is unveiling a new website today, Asbury added.

Protests will need permits in plaza

Not feasible UNC mobile app

Improve UNCs mobile app.

Feasible Mental health initiative

Implementation of a mental health training course and encouragement of collaboration between Counseling and Wellness Services, among others. Allen OBarr, director of counseling and wellness, said the group already maintains a database of community therapists and engages in interdepartmental collaboration.

Maybe Culture Shock

Event in the Pit to bring together student groups that promote diversity. Tony Patterson, senior associate director for student life and activities for the Carolina Union, said organizing the event would be easy. It could definitely be successful, Patterson said.

Initiative 2

Mike Barker, assistant vice chancellor and chief technology officer, said Information Technology Services is forming a group to discuss the future of UNCs mobile strategy. He said the committee will include student representatives.

Already in place Fix My Town

Maybe Student consulting group

Create a group to advise on creation and expansion of student groups. Jon Curtis, associate director of student activities and organizations, said a similar group used to exist. In some ways, its currently offered, Curtis said. Upon request, I do a lot of that type of work.

Feasible Volunteer fair

A volunteer fair held in the fall to showcase volunteer opportunities. Sarah Smith, a student services specialist for Public Service Scholars, said the fair could be successful if organizers contacted partners well in advance. A lot of times their schedules are hard to line up with student schedules.

After an hour and a half of heated discussion, Chapel Hill Town Council voted Monday to enact an interim ordinance on the use of Peace and Justice Plaza. The changes come after Town Manager Roger Stancil released a memo in January saying that rules overlooked during the Occupy Chapel Hill/Carrboro encampment should be revisited. With the new ordinance, residents must have permits to hold events in the plaza that

last more than three hours. Those permits must be applied for 48 hours in advance of the event a point of contempt among council members because it would disallow spontaneous protests. In the past, occupiers and others spent entire nights in the space, but now protesters can stay in the plaza only from 7 a.m. to 2 a.m. Council members were clear that those times are preliminary and could change. One group of protesters could not occupy the plaza for more than seven days.

Initiative 3

An online tool to direct students to resources offered by Chapel Hill. Student Body Secretary Adam Jutha said the project is doable. The next administration will need to dedicate significant time into making sure that program is feasible, sustainable and has impact.

Local Planned Parenthood sees more donations

Threats to cut funding have broadened the NC clinics donor base.

Feasible Tar Heel Sitters

Feasible Carolina Memorial Fund

Create a fund, used at the discretion of the student body president. No UNC fund could be under the direction of one person, said Mary Murray, director of development and external relations in student affairs. It would never be under just one students discretion.

Feasible Improve HeelMail

Increase the functionality of HeelMail. Barker said because HeelMail is a Microsoft service, some modifications would need to be addressed by the corporation itself. They sometimes tell us they can do things, they sometimes tell us they cant do things.

Initiative 4

A resource to provide a babysitting service by students for faculty, in an effort to improve faculty retention. Provost Bruce Carney said such a program is worth a try. Certainly the faculty as a whole very much appreciate the efforts of the students, he said.

Senior Ana Maria Reichenbachs grandfather hasnt always seen eye-to-eye with her on politics. But after he heard that Susan G. Komen for the Cure withdrew funds from Planned Parenthood, he wrote the latter a big check. She said he wanted to sup-

port the cancer screenings Planned Parenthood offers, saying politics and health shouldnt mix. It was really funny for me to hear him say something like that, because he gives me crap for being a feminist all the time, said Reichenbach, a member of Feminist Students United. The Komen foundation and N.C. General Assemblys threats to cut Planned Parenthood funding have led to increased financial support from other sources for the central North Carolina Planned

Sitting down with Christopher Putney Herman

putney was named interim director of sexual studies this year.

Staff Writer

Chairman of the Provosts Committee on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer Life, Christopher Putney teaches Russian literature at the University. He was named interim director of sexuality studies at the beginning of the year.

stress that I am hopeful I am an alumnus of (the University of California at Berkeley), and I think that North Carolina is very different from California. It is perhaps entirely appropriate for Chancellor Thorp to have chosen to explore this option a bit more before implementing it.

Q & A

The University of North Carolina does not, and this to me is a very serious issue. In order to continue to maintain its prestige... and to continue to be an attractive institution for hot talent from around the country and around the world, (UNC) will have to in the coming years work really hard to find a way to provide equal benefits.

DTH: Has anyone brought up this issue or tried to change it? Cp: It has generally been discussed as a problem that will be very difficult to solve because this would be a decision that would need to be approved by the state legislature. But there are plenty of academics who are in domestic partnerships, whether heterosexual or gay or lesbian, who might very well have been faced with a choice of an appointment at the University of North Carolina that will not receive benefits for domestic partners and all the other goodies that married people get. They might very well find a job at another peer institution more attractive. DTH: What does the Proposition 8 decision mean for the nation?

It is not just a gay marriage

The Bowman Gray pool in Woollen Gymnasium will most likely be closed for the rest of the semester, Aquatics Director Deb Murray said. The pool is being drained and assessed for repairs, which will determine the cost and timeline of the project, said Dana Leeson, construction supervisor. Leeson said the investigation to determine the cause of the damage is ongoing. The pool was just renovated in 2010, and the project designer is working with the University to help determine which party is liable.

Two UNC professors are among the co-authors of an Institute of Medicine report calling attention to the nations burden of chronic illness. Dr. Leigh Callahan and Dr. Russell Harris contributed to the report released on Jan. 31, titled Living Well with Chronic Illness: A Call for Public Health Action. Callahan said there is a need for an integrated framework among public health, clinical care and community agencies to ensure quality care for those with chronic illness.

Ernest Dollar preserves towns historic landscape

By Cheney Gardner
Staff Writer

Homegrown terrorism did not materialize last year

Concerns about a potential wave of homegrown violent extremism did not materialize over the last year, according to a study released Wednesday by the Triangle Center on Terrorism and Homeland Security. UNC sociology professor Charles Kurzman authored the study, titled Muslim-American Terrorism in the Decade Since 9/11. It found that fewer Muslim-Americans were arrested for violent crimes in 2011 than in either 2010 or 2009. Arrests in 2011 numbered 20, while there were 26 in 2010 and 49 in 2009.

state briefs
Student charged with trespassing and resistance
Andrew Payne, who was arrested last week during protests at a UNC-system Board of Governors meeting to approve tuition hikes, will appear in Orange County District Court on March 12. Payne made his first appearance in court Monday where he was assigned the later court date. He is charged with second-degree trespassing and resistance. Payne, an alumnus of N.C. State University and a former Association of Student Governments president, was arrested after trying to return to his reserved seat inside the boardroom. I went to use the bathroom and to get some water and had (the Department of Public Safety) kick me out, he said. The charges are frivolous. Payne said he will plead not guilty to the charges. - From staff and wire reports

Ernest Dollar is not your average community preservation director. Most people, when they think of preservation, think of a group of older ladies preserving the houses of the rich and the famous in the historic district, Dollar said. But Dollar said he has instead focused his four years as preservation director of the Preservation Society of Chapel Hill on areas that have traditionally been overlooked. Were trying to serve the historic landscape in those places that are really endangered, Dollar said. And what were finding is that these are mostly AfricanAmerican places houses, cemeteries, neighborhoods. As part of his effort to honor the legacy of African-Americans in Chapel Hill, Dollar helped organize a Black History Month film series called Birth and Death of Slavery. The last film in the series will be shown Feb. 22 at the Horace Williams House. He is also working to preserve the historic Lloyd-Rogers House in the Rogers Road neighborhood, which was originally owned by the Lloyds, some of the first

white occupants of Orange County. At some point this antebellum home had been sold out of the family to AfricanAmericans in the community, said Dollar. So there is sort of joint black and white history of the house. The Lloyd-Rogers House is slated to be demolished to accommodate the St. Pauls African Methodist Episcopal Church, which will move to the property. The Preservation Society is working to move the house so that it can be used as a community center for the Rogers Road area. We hope to have the house moved by the end of the year so that we can start working for it to get restored, Dollar said. As preservation director, Dollar has also helped restore the African-American section of the Old Chapel Hill Cemetery. Its important for us to preserve these places and tell the story of these people who have been left out of the history books because it really tells us about our community, Dollar said. He said his interest in preserving the community stemmed from his upbringing in Durham. He said even at a young age, he had a passion for history. When other little kids were drawing

monsters, I was drawing stuff I saw on the news at night. He said that his first order of business as preservation director was to use this passion to get the community interested in preservation. His energy and focus and his passion for what he does is huge, said Susan Lyons, co-president of the Preservation Society. I think thats what gets people excited about the projects he comes up with. Beth Isenhour, second vice-president and a long-time volunteer with the Preservation Society, said Dollar has been instrumental in making the society more visible. Although we have been around now for 40 years, he gave us more of a face to the community, she said. Hes given a better picture to the public of who we are. Dollar said that he hopes his work in the community will inspire people to care about preserving Chapel Hills diverse history. You couldnt ask for a better job than to protect the place where you grew up, he said. Contact the City Editor at city@dailytarheel.com.

UNC students eager to see former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain might have to wait a little longer than originally expected. Greg Steele, chairman of the College Republicans, said the group initially aimed for Cain to speak at UNC on March 1 but now has pushed the date back to March 23. Student Congress approved $10,622 on Feb. 7 for the College Republicans to bring Cain to UNC. Members of the College Republicans have been working with the conservative youth organization Young Americas Foundation to set up a Herman Cain date for Cain might speak at to speak on UNC if the College campus, Steele republicans are able said. to raise money and He added schedule the event. that Cain is scheduled to speak at a Young Americas Foundation conference in Raleigh that weekend, creating the possibility that the College Republicans could piggyback off the engagement. We believe we could perhaps save even a little bit more money by bringing him to Carolina on Friday evening to speak, and he could be at the conference on Saturday, he said. The delay in date confirmation can be attributed to the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C. last weekend, which members of the group attended, Steele said. Zach De La Rosa, speaker of Student Congress, said the body decided to allow Cain to speak based on his background in politics and the economy. While he is first and foremost a political figure, he also has a pretty strong economic background and will hopefully have a positive contribution to the UNC community, De La Rosa said. The full cost of the event will be around $15,000, leaving more than $4,000 for the College Republicans to raise. Jared Simmons, chairman of the finance committee of Student Congress, said while he believes the College Republicans can raise the additional money needed for the event, Student Congress cannot provide the group with any more money if it does not. Logistically, theres not enough time to ask us for more money, and they wouldnt be granted any more, Simmons said. Steele said he hopes private donors in Orange County and the surrounding area will help to pay the remaining costs. As of now, fundraising and promotion for the event is on hold until Cains camp contacts the College Republicans, Steele said. Its all up in the air, at least for this week, Steele said. We sent him all of our dates that were available, so were arranging for something between March 1 and April 12. Contact the University Editor at university@dailytarheel.com.

Candidates worry new voting process could reduce turnout

students will vote on studentlife.unc.edu, not ConnectCarolina.
By Liz Crampton
Staff Writer

DTH ONLINE: Visit

dailytarheel.com to read about the candidates social media strategies.

Students voting in todays student elections will cast their ballots on studentlife.unc.edu for the first time, a change that candidates worry could reduce turnout. The new website, which also tracks students extracurricular activities through a single user account, requires registration,

which was not an issue with ConnectCarolina, the voting tool used last year. Shruthi Sundaram, chairwoman of the Board of Elections, said 6,391 students have already registered on the site. Last year, 7,105 students voted in the student body president general election, Sundaram said. Sundaram said studentlife. unc.edu wont decrease voter

turnout because its actually easier to use than ConnectCarolina. The registration process is quick and simple, she said. I would hope and expect that this extra 10 seconds will not deter students from voting for people to represent them next year, she said. But the three candidates said they think the transition will decrease the percentage of students who vote. Theyre adding another step that complicates things, Calvin Lewis Jr. said. The more steps involved, the less students will participate. Students like things to be

simple. Tony Patterson, senior associate director of student life and activities, said one extra step wont reduce turnout for students already taking the initiative to vote. If people are going to vote, this will not stop them from voting, he said. Patterson said he hopes requiring students to vote on studentlife.unc.edu will encourage more students to explore the website and begin using it in their daily lives. He said the website was fully paid for two years ago. Sundaram said she made it

clear to the candidates that they are responsible for publicizing the transition. Tim Longest, who said he was also concerned with voter turnout, plans to publicize the new voting process with flyers and emails, along with social media, he said. Will Leimenstoll said the change in websites presents an unavoidable obstacle to high turnout. Any time you add a barrier to a process its going to deter people who are apathetic, he said.

Chapel Hills signature Carolina blue fire trucks do more than just fight fire and Fire Chief Dan Jones wants to figure out what other services the town wants the department to provide. The towns current comprehensive plan does not include what additional services the fire department should offer or how it should spend its $6.9 million budget. But members of the department are working with Chapel Hill 2020 the towns long-term planning process to create a more definite idea of what the fire departments role should be. What were hoping comes out of 2020 is a clearer expectation of what the community wants, Jones said. In addition to fighting fires, the fire department provides environmental protection, rescue service, disaster management, fire code enforcement and first-responder services for medical emergencies. Just about anything that doesnt involve crimes ends up involving the fire department, Jones said. He said the department chooses what services to provide based on professional advice. One of the services the department chooses to offer is first responders emergency medical assistance, which responds to emergency situations within the town and is not required by law.

mct/erika Schultz

ith Gov. Chris Gregoires signature Monday, Washington joined six other states and the District of Columbia in allowing same-sex couples to marry. The law takes effect June 7, but opponents have vowed to fight to overturn it.

The ordinance will also split the plaza into two areas, both of which protesters can reserve. But one group cannot reserve both spaces if another group expresses interest. Some who spoke at the meeting said the changes are needed. What we have here, folks, is a classic case of the slippery slope, said Brandy McDonald, co-owner of East End. We chose to overlook the violations of current town regulations, and now you dont have the availability to go back and enforce them. Mayor Mark Kleinschmidt agreed that regulations were broken during the encampment. I knew I didnt want regulations enforced because I had sympathy with Occupy, and thats a problem, he said. The government cant behave that way, thats not right. We have to have rules that are applied equally to anyone in that space. But others said that the changes could limit protesters free speech rights. It concerns me that people yet to determine whether the suspected men are still in Chapel Hill and whether any threat remains to campus or the community. Members of Project Dinah, a UNC initiative aimed at ending sexual assault, said that they were distressed by the Universitys response to the report. The organization put out a press release Monday night in response to the incident. We rely upon DPS to alert us immediately in any emergency, and we are frustrated to have

who are down there peacefully and work for change, if the ordinance is passed, could end up having fewer rights that the bar patrons who congregate in bars outside on Franklin, said Carol Edmonds, a documentary film maker. And Laurin Easthom, the only council member who voted against the ordinance, said it learned about this event from outside media sources and not from our campus community, the release states. Of incidents the campus police blotter lists specifically as rape for the past two years, five took place in residence halls or hotels, and one incidents location was unclear.

could still be improved. What we are fighting for is a chance to speak our mind, said Paul Sylvestor, an occupier. I hope we can talk about it as a community, because Occupy isnt going anywhere. Contact the City Editor at citydesk@dailytarheel.com. Students said the fact that this incident happened out in the open frightened them. For me personally, I walked down that alley two hours before it had happened, said senior Bethany Hargis, a Project Dinah member. Contact the City Editor at city@dailytarheel.com.

He said the department didnt believe the circumstances met the criteria for issuing a warning to the campus.

Parenthood clinic in Chapel Hill, said spokeswoman Paige Johnson. She said the Chapel Hill clinic has especially seen increases in support from first-time donors, like Reichenbachs grandfather, and young donors. People called and said they had never been donors before but were really upset about political issues getting involved in health, Johnson said. Planned Parenthood is also still fighting against a North Carolina law prohibiting state funds from going to the organization. We have been under constant assault from the North Carolina legislature, so weve seen a steady outpouring of support, Johnson said. After the N.C. General Assembly eliminated state funding for Planned Parenthood last spring, the organization regained the funding with a court injunction in August. In response to the media attention surrounding the controversies, Johnson predicted donations would be up this year. Grants and contributions accounted for nearly half of the central North Carolina clinics revenue in 2010, which is the most recent year for which data is available. During the same year the clinics expenses for health care services including cancer screenings were about $3.6 million, and they received about $1.4 million in contributions and donations. She said part of the increased support is from college students fundraising and advocacy efforts. Theres a lot of support from students because they come to us for birth control, and they come out when they feel thats threatened, she said. UNCs chapter of Vox: Voices for Planned Parenthood has become more active in the past month, Reichenbach said. Its important for students to be out there and supporting these organizations who are supporting people who need them, especially young people without resources, she said. Komen eventually chose to reinstate funding, but not all students are in favor of that decision. It was a good decision for the Susan G. Komen Foundation to cease its funding of Planned Parenthood, UNC senior Christina Geradts, president of Carolina Students for Life, said in an email. I still believe that Planned Parenthood does not have womens best interests in mind. Johnson said the clinic saw an increase in patients in the days following the announcement of the foundation pulling funding. Most of the Chapel Hill clinics patients are women who are in their 20s and 30s, she said, but it is impossible to know how many are students. UNC students are referred to Planned Parenthood by Campus Health Services if it fits their insurance needs and the womens health clinic doesnt offer the necessary care, said Carol Kozel, director of nursing services at Campus Health Services. Even if they dont use Planned Parenthood, Reichenbach said students should stand behind it. My hope is that more women and men, more young people, start seeing that this is in their interest, Reichenbach said. But Geradts disagreed. Pro-lifers will not donate to an organization which directly donates to and funds a leading abortion provider, she said in an email. Contact the City Editor at city@dailytarheel.com.

There is always a delicate balance between making sure accurate information is available and the campus communitys need to know about a possible threat, McCracken said in an email. Mecimore said situations involving someone who has been traumatized are challenging. You try to determine whether it was an isolated incident or an acquaintance incident, and whether it could be an ongoing threat, he said. He said at this point, police have

Peace University makes controversial plans

The institution, newly coed, accepted plans for a $6 million renovation.

onday marked the opening day for campaign filings in the state. The filing window will be open until noon on Feb. 29th. Following redistricting maps, which have double-bunked several Democratic legislators, many incumbents have announced they will not be running for re-election. Here are the candidates from the area who have filed.

U.S. Rep David Price, D- N.C., is running for re-election. Price has represented the 4th district, which includes Orange County, since 1987, losing briefly in 1994 but regaining his seat in 1996. Before 1987, Price was a professor at Duke University.

Rep. Verla Insko, D-Orange, is running for re-election to represent the 56th district. Insko was first elected to the N.C. General Assembly in 1996. Insko has worked to increase teacher salaries, reduce class sizes for primary grades and reduce the dropout rate.

Rod Chaney is running to represent the 56th district. Chaney lives with his wife and five children in Hillsborough, where he has lived since 1989. Chaney is currently a pastor at Sunrise Church in Chapel Hill, N.C. Hes running on the Republican ticket.

Orange County Commissioner Valerie Foushee is running to represent district 50. Foushee, a lifelong Chapel Hill resident, has been a commissioner since 2004. She has been on the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Board of Education, among other local positions.

The newly coed William Peace University is tacking on more changes, sparking further unhappiness from many alumnae. Recently approved renovations will update the campus and add male athletic teams, but some are still not satisfied with these deci-

sions. Last month, members of the Board of Trustees of Peace, which is located in Raleigh, accepted a $6 million multi-year plan to enhance the Hermann Athletic Center, create more meeting and recreational space in its student center and relocate the presidents house to downtown Raleigh. The renovations are set to begin this spring and will include a fitness center and mens and womens locker rooms. The university will also relocate the bookstore and update the dining hall among other renovations.

The recent approval of renovations follows in the wake of protests from alumnae, who were unhappy about Peace Colleges July announcement that it would be transitioning away from an all-female campus to a coed university. The renovations will be funded by donations, the universitys capital campaign, gifts from alumnae and external financing. Applications are up, interest is up, and there has been a great enthusiasm among men to have another option for college in Raleigh, said R. Donavon

Munford Jr., a Board of Trustees member. Protesters like E.B. Watson, a 2007 Peace graduate, disapprove of the recent renovations and blame the universitys current president, Debra Townsley. These expenditures seem reckless, at best, Watson stated in an email. Watson said the school has already cut majors, faculty and staff and even toilet paper spending. She said she was concerned about support for womens athletic programs. In addition to the six womens

sports already present at the school basketball, soccer, volleyball, tennis, cross country and softball mens basketball, cross country and golf will be added in the fall, said Kelly Johnson, athletic director and womens basketball coach. The women compete at a Division III level in the South Athletic Conference, but Johnson said the male athletes will compete as a developmental varsity team, which includes playing junior and community colleges. That will give us a year to get the program going, Johnson said.

Former UNC-CH junior varsity basketball player Claude Shields will become head mens basketball and golf coach, Johnson said. Although Watson said she disapproves of the recent decisions made by the president and board, she said she and other protesters wont abandon their alma mater. We are not going away, she said. We love Peace and want to restore its integrity as an institution for higher learning, whether it is single-sex or coed. Contact the State & National Editor at state@dailytarheel.com.

House to offer new proposal for extending payroll tax cut

WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) Hesitant to be seen as holding up a payroll tax break for American workers, House GOP leaders will put forward a new proposal to extend the tax cut giving up, for now, on the GOP-led requirement that it must be paid for, as talks on a compromise with Democrats have stalled. House Speaker John A. Boehner, R-Ohio, and other leaders said their backup plan could come for a vote as soon as this week, as Congress struggles to find common ground before the tax break expires Feb. 29. Keeping the tax holiday is President Obamas top legislative priority. This is not our first choice, said Boehner and his leadership team, including Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., in a joint statement. Republicans are seeking to shift the debate on the tax break for 160 million working Americans. Last years show-

The new GOP proposal would allow the tax break to continue without having yet resolved the tough decisions over how to pay for the $160 billion package a decision that could rile fiscal conservatives within Boehners right flank who insist on keeping deficits low.

UNC baseball welcomes Cellphone art newcomers for spring exhibited at

By Brandon Moree
Assistant Sports Editor

The start of a new baseball season comes with many things midweek games and weekend series, sunshine and sunflower seeds, warm weather and warmup pitches. But it also means a group of new faces on the diamond. North Carolina coach Mike Fox brought in 17 new players for the 2012 season including five players who were selected in the 2011 MLB draft but did not sign. Baseball America ranked the class as the 20th best in the country. Weve got a number of young guys that are going to have an opportunity to probably get out and play for us a little bit, Fox said. How much, were not quite sure. Of the newcomers, the player likely to make the most immediate impact isnt a freshman. Cody Stubbs will be a junior this season after spending his freshman year at Tennessee and last season at Walters State, a junior college.

Stubbs was selected in the 14th round by the Washington Nationals in June, but the lefthanded hitting first baseman wanted to make one more run for Omaha. Thats why I wanted to come to college, to play in Omaha and hopefully this year, Stubbs said. I guess its kind of hard to say what it takes to go to Omaha. These guys know a little more than I do. Fox said that Stubbs, a North Carolina native, will play first base and hit in the middle of the order for the Tar Heels, and his new teammates have taken to him rather quickly. One thing about Cody is, hes one of our best players and hes one of the hardest workers as well, junior outfielder Chaz Frank said. Thats how you gotta play just watch Cody Stubbs every day. Along with Stubbs, there will be some true freshmen making an impact this season, especially from the mound. Freshman left-hander Chris

OBrien has been turning heads in his short time in Chapel Hill and is making a push to earn a spot in the starting rotation. Righty Benton Moss, an Under Amour All-American, has also caught the eye of coach Fox with his performance in the preseason. On the pitching side, weve got a number of freshmen pitchers, Fox said. Probably Benton Moss, him or Chris OBrien have stood out the most and have a chance to maybe earn a starting role for us here at some point. Mason McCullough, a righthanded pitcher from Shelby, has flashed some impressive heat for a freshman in fall and early spring practices. Using his 6-foot-4, 235pound frame, McCullough has been throwing his fastball with mid-90s power. I love seeing our freshman Mason because last year we didnt really have a flamethrower, so to speak, sophomore pitcher Kent Emanuel said. And seeing him throw the ball 95, 96 (mph) is crazy. Last season it was Emanuel

Law student wins ACLU honor

By Andrew Edwards
Staff Writer

She was the recipient of an award from the American Civil Liberties Union of North Carolina on Saturday, but third-year law student Jackie Azis says she is just starting her efforts to promote civil liberties in the community. Azis, who received a degree in journalism from the University of Florida, was nominated for the award because of her involvement in revitalizing the Carolina Law Chapter of the ACLU. Im definitely very humbled. I never thought for one moment that the ACLU was work, she said. Its what I enjoy and am passionate about. Jennifer Rudinger, executive director of the ACLU of North Carolina, said she nominated Azis for the Norman Smith Award because of her dedication to the ACLUs principles and her ability to exceed expectations. The Norman Smith award ... (is) only given when we have a volunteer who has gone above and beyond and demonstrated extraordinary commitment to ACLU, Rudinger said. She said Azis interned with the national ACLU Capital Punishment Project in Durham last summer, but her leadership spanned beyond the internship. Its wonderful to see people who feel so passionate entering into the legal profession, so I nominated her, Rudinger said. As a student volunteer shes just been so committed and I thought she met the criteria for this particular award. Azis involvement with the

He liked the simplicity and the overall feel of the Contact the Sports Editor resulting images, which he said at sports@dailytarheel.com. reminded him of Polaroid. The subjects of Cellular Obscura range from touching to playful. Rocco said one of the best parts of the show is its ambiguous nature. Because the photos express quiet moments, viewers can form their own interpretations and renditions of what goes on in the frames. Alice Southwick, manager of the Ackland store, said Roccos work is captivating because he manages to capture beauty with a low-tech device. These pictures, they zip, she said. Its this perfect synthesis between art and documentary. Emily Bowles, director of communications at the Ackland Art Museum, said the use of such ordinary means to create art makes Roccos show mesh well with the Acklands current exhibit, The

Spectacular of Vernacular. Like many of the artists in the museums show, Rocco has a tremendous ability to find the inherent beauty in mundane objects, Bowles said in an email. Southwick said Cellular Obscura is relevant to younger generations because they constantly document social occasions digitally. This universal participation in photography is partially what led Rocco to pursue his project, he said. Because so many people now post their photos on the Internet, people are hyper-aware of cameras. There are times when you want to do some street photography, and you want to get people in natural moments, Rocco said. The naturalness is broken when they see you with your regular camera. Rocco, who is 6 feet 2 inches tall and travels with at least two cameras and several lenses, couldnt rely on stealth to capture the images of Cellular Obscura hence the cellphone. When you start looking at the photos, you start seeing things that define America, where we are now, the transition from the 20th century into the 21st century, he said. Some photos might have a timelessness to them, but to know that they were shot with a cellphone gives it a date in a way. Contact the Arts Editor at arts@dailytarheel.com.

Case deals with speech on Facebook

dth/erin hull Jackie Azis stands in front of the law building. Azis has been a part of many cases involving the ACLU.

ACLU reached the national level in the summer of 2011. Working as an intern for the Capital Punishment Project, Azis helped write court case briefs and research and document the lives of individuals facing the death penalty in capital cases. Her leadership with the UNC chapter of the ACLU has also resulted in the organization of several important events that have taken students off campus and into the community. Some of these events included a protest against North Carolinas proposed gay marriage constitu-

BoUNCe forum takes form of murder mystery

By Hailey Vest
Staff Writer

A murder got in the way of any real discussion Monday night at a student body presidential forum hosted by BoUNCe, UNCs satirical magazine. The forum began by giving each candidate the chance to state his platform, but the abrupt death of moderator Joey Rasmus quickly changed the focus of the debate. Will Leimenstoll, Calvin Lewis Jr. and Tim Longest were then interrogated as the prime suspects in the murder. Each managed to prove their innocence and even name a few of the audience members as culprits. The detective, who coincidentally resembled Rasmus, deputized the candidates and gave them the important task of helping him solve the murder. Each candidate underwent training, which involved watching a movie and then being quizzed afterward. The questions were based off the video and were meant to test the candidates deductive skills. Leimenstoll scored the highest by answering one and a half questions correctly. At that point in the forum, the detective then questioned students for willingly signing the candidates petitions, which qualified the candidates for the ballot. The three were told that the moderators death was probably caused by food poisoning.

We like to see ingenuity in our student body (president) candidates.

Joey rasmus,
Moderator of the forum

Each candidates campaign manager was then required to feed their candidate Vienna sausages. Candidates were told to rap their platforms to the Inspector Gadget theme song. We like to see ingenuity in our student body candidates, Rasmus said. BoUNCe endorsed Longest after Lewis rejected an offer to spend time with the detective this weekend. Leimenstoll captured many of the remaining endorsements leading up to todays vote. The Sierra Student Coalition endorsed Leimenstoll after its forum Monday night. Katie Orndahl, media coordinator for the group, said Leimenstoll had a strong environmental background and that a lot of his values align with the groups campaign. Orndahl added that the group almost chose Longest because of his emphasis on transparency within the University, such as with the endowment. The Out-of-State Student Association endorsed Leimenstoll after a Friday forum.

Student elections: Choosing your advocates

im Longest should be UNCs next student body president. Recent tuition hikes and budget cuts have put unprecedented stress on the entire University community, and the impact on students has been severe. Its time students choose an independent and strong advocate to speak for them. Tim Longest can be that voice. Though all of this years candidates have serious shortcomings, Longest stands out among his peers for his understanding, vision and focus on student advocacy. First and foremost, Longest has a firm grasp on the difficulties UNC will face during his tenure, namely, budget constraints, and he is determined to ensure that students concerns are voiced. Where both his opponents are vague on this critical issue, Longest is clear. Both Leimenstoll and Longest place a premium on preserving

EnDOrSEmEnTS

Student body president: Tim Longest

UNCs identity as a public institution by maintaining accessibility and affordability. But when it comes to articulating clear, impassioned explanations of why they hold these values, Longest has a stronger argument. Leimenstoll, despite his charm, is too deferential to be a credible student advocate. When one envisions the candidates speaking and voting at a Board of Trustees meeting, it is easy to imagine Longest presenting student opinions with clarity, cogency and potency. As apparent as his strength as a speaker is, Longest has also proven himself to be a listener. He has reached out and listened to groups and communities often overlooked by student government. He has proposed initiatives like graduate admissions ambassadors and improved student involvement in town boards and commissions to meet their concerns. And his inclusion of a section on student mental health is particularly striking. The ability to hear and incorporate different and opposing voices is critical to any effective student body president. Tim, unlike the other candidates, has shown he can build a team capable of winning the respect of UNCs diverse student body. This is not to say that Longest is perfect. He lacks Leimenstolls approachability and his long, detailed platform is too ambitious to be accomplished it stretches the limits of what an SBP can do. His ideas for a mandatory Carolina 101 course, a dance minor and a bike-sharing program are particularly far-reaching. Nevertheless, right now UNC needs a student advocate. Longest is that candidate, and he deserves your vote.

Who we didnt endorse

Will Leimenstoll and Calvin Lewis
Why not Will leimenstoll
Leimenstoll is a solid candidate and would do a decent job as student body president. He has assembled a very capable team of advisers and managers, and he delegates very effectively. He is also exceptionally likable and strikes us as a genuinely kind person. Our concern, however, is that Leimenstoll is too hands-off in his leadership style and would acquiesce too easily when faced with opposition from members of the Board of Trustees. When it comes to advocating for students at BOT meetings, his tendency to look to others for expertise could prove to be a liability. Students need an advocate with more conviction than Leimenstolls leadership style suggests. This is not to say that he lacks passion. Leimenstoll clearly wants to give back to UNC, and we are confident he will continue to do so regardless of whether he is elected. His environmental platform is especially notable, and we hope to see the winning candidate implement many of Leimenstolls excellent ideas.

Why not Calvin lewis

Lewis has shown his capability as a manager through his extensive work with SafeWalk, but he lacks the powers of speech and persuasion that will be integral to the success of UNCs next student body president. Though he is clearly a quick study, Lewis also lacks the institutional knowledge necessary for an SBP. Lewis is friendly enough and seems to have good intentions, but he has a long way to go in his conversational skills. His narrow approach to leadership would pose an obstacle to true discourse, and it is unclear how well Lewis would perform in the setting of a Board of Trustees meeting.

Nora Chan, Tim Palmer for senior class

ora Chan and Tim Palmer are the right choice for senior class presidents. In a race where all of the candidates have strong platforms, these two stand out for their chemistry. The two have been close friends since freshman year, and the ease with which they work together is apparent upon talking to them. Though their dynamic is what sets them apart from the other candidates, Chan and Palmer also have a solid platform. By combining new and creative ideas for social events with meaningful but feasible philanthropy projects, the platform strikes an

Jutha and Kaminer, Fox and Mafe

Why not Adam Jutha and Sarah Kaminer for senior class presidents
Adam Jutha and Sarah Kaminer are both excited and energetic, and they have some impressive new ideas, which we hope the winner will take into account. But their lofty goals for service initiatives arent feasible, and this lack of feasibility creates another set of concerns about accountability. We expect the senior class presidents to deliver on the promises they make, and were worried Jutha and Kaminer promise too much. They do, however, bring a diverse set of backgrounds and experiences: Jutha is an international student, and Kaminer is from Asheville. And their relationship seems to be founded on a mutual and sincere love of UNC. If they are not elected, they will surely still exert a positive impact on this University during their final year here.

important balance: exciting enough to motivate seniors but reasonable enough to actually come to fruition. And its clear that Chan and Palmer have done their homework. Theyve kept track of the successes and failures of recent senior class presidents and have decided on a sound policy for managing their staff of senior marshals. They plan to select a small number of senior marshals, ensuring an efficient and connected group that can work closely and effectively with one another. The pair will get started selecting a commencement speaker as early as possible, and they are

aware of the importance of finding someone who is relevant but minimally controversial. Having said this, they also noted that they wouldnt rule out an otherwise stellar speaker for fear of political backlash from a small but vocal minority. They seem to appreciate how overblown the objections are to this years speaker, Michael Bloomberg, and they know that its unrealistic to expect to please everyone. Chan and Palmers platform makes them a good choice, but their chemistry and team dynamic make them great. They will be the best leaders for the class of 2013.

Why not Brennan Fox and Sarah Mafe for senior class presidents
Though Fox and Mafe have some interesting ideas and are enthusiastic both about this race and about UNC, they were unclear about some of the duties of the senior class presidents. Most notably, neither of them seemed to have seriously considered the task of delivering a commencement address, arguably the most important duty a senior class president performs.

Thomas, Patel for Campus Y presidency

ackenzie Thomas and Jagir Patel have put together an impressive candidacy for the presidency of UNCs Campus Y, and its members should elect them to lead the organization next year. Though voting in Campus Y elections is limited to dues-paying members, the Y plays a broad enough role in campus-wide affairs that this election merits attention from the entire student body. Whether or not you vote in it, its outcome will likely affect you in the coming year. If youve ever eaten Hunger Lunch, if you attended Carolina Kickoff before coming to UNC or if you tuned in to the tuition discussions facilitated by the Y, then this organization has already impacted your experience here. Four extraordinarily competent, thoughtful and qualified

Joseph Terrell and Laura McCready

As Joseph Terrell and Laura McCready wisely pointed out, their candidacy for Campus Y co-presidents will be a success whether they win or lose, since it has furthered their ultimate and admirable goal of opening up the political dialogue on this campus. While they reject the simplification of their platform into an activism versus organization dichotomy, it is nevertheless their commitment to activism that distinguishes them from their opponents. Their vision of the Y mirrors one of the 1960s: a locus for student activism at UNC is an honorable goal that the winning candidates should implement. Furthermore, Terrells assertion that the Y is a nonpartisan organization but certainly is a political organization could not be more correct, and the victors should recognize this fact as they plan for the upcoming year. With the plethora of social justice issues currently percolating tuition affordability, Amendment 1, endowment transparency and gender neutral housing, to name a few the Campus Y cannot afford to be silent. But Terrell and McCready dont possess the institutional knowledge that Jagir Patel and Mackenzie Thomas do. As the incumbent, Thomas could provide critical continuity in maintaining strong relationships with stakeholders both on and off campus. Furthermore, Patel and Thomas do understand the importance that ongoing activism should play in the Campus Y, and their platform reflects that fact. While Terrell and McCready would be fine leaders of the Y, their opponents total package is stronger and would likely lead to a more productive year.

candidates threw their hats in the Campus Ys ring this year. As Thomas and Patel themselves pointed out, the organization would certainly be in good hands under their opponents, Joseph Terrell and Laura McCready. The differences between the candidates are nuanced, and it is nearly impossible to convey this distinction succinctly without oversimplifying grossly. What it seems to boil down to, however, are the candidates respective visions for the Y. All the candidates care deeply about activism, engagement and dialogue. Where they diverge is in their conception of the role the Ys presidents should play in facilitating these goals. Thomas and Patel hope to provide an organizational structure students can utilize to pursue their social justice aims, some of which are overtly political and some of

which are not. They are committed to allowing these aims to arise organically and have stressed repeatedly that a topdown approach simply doesnt work when trying to galvanize students to act on issues they care about. Thomas would also be serving her second term as co-president of the Y. She has accrued knowledge that her opponents (nor even her running mate, for that matter) can make a claim to, and it would be a mistake for Y members not to honor her hard work and re-elect her this year. Terrell and McCreadys passion for activism is genuinely inspiring, but Thomas and Patel seem to have a better grasp of the mechanics of the organization. Theyve already formed important relationships across the University, and would doubtless make UNC a better-connected community if elected.
