SBI will look into AFAM department


UNC began looking into the departments issues in September.
By Elizabeth Johnson
Editor-in-Chief

Investigations into the African and Afro-American Studies Department at UNC are now out of the Universitys control. A report released by the University earlier this month cites issues with record keeping and teaching practices within the department and could cause long-term problems for UNC. The implications for the University are very great, said

Jane Shaw, president of the John William Pope Center for Higher Education Policy a conservative think tank based in Raleigh. It certainly will tarnish the reputation of UNC, which has always held academic quality to be very high, Shaw said. It appears that this department was neglected and that there was very little oversight. Orange-Chatham District Attorney Jim Woodall said he met with members of the State Bureau of Investigation Monday and asked them to do a probe into the department. The starting point I gave them was to look into academic and financial fraud, computer fraud or misuse, forgery, or conspiracy or attempt to conceal any

of those crimes, Woodall said. Noelle Talley, public information officer for the N.C. Department of Justice, said in an email the SBI has accepted Woodalls request to open a criminal investigation into matters at UNC. Talley said she could not comment on how long an investigation of this kind might take. Chancellor Holden Thorp wrote in a statement that the University has pledged to cooperate fully with the SBI. The University began its own investigation into the department in September following the revelation that former defensive end Michael McAdoo had plagiarized a paper for a class in the depart-

ment, and the plagiarism had gone undetected. The Universitys report detailing the findings was written by Jonathan Hartlyn, the senior associate dean for social sciences and global programs, and William Andrews, the senior associate dean for fine arts and humanities. In the report, Hartlyn and Andrews wrote that irregularities within the department included

improper teaching practices occurring primarily in summer school courses taught between 2007 until 2009 and listed former department chair Julius Nyangoro as the professor for the majority of those courses. Nyangoro stepped down as department chair in August but has stayed at the University as a professor. Nyangoro will retire from UNC effective July 1. Thorp wrote in a statement that he has asked the SBI to look into possible issues with Nyangoros salary from the University. After consulting with President Ross on Friday, I directed our public safety depart-

TIMELINE OF INVESTIGATION
August 2011: AFAM Department Chair Julius Nyang'oro resigns as department chair. September 2011: The Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences launches an investigation in to the department. January 1, 2012: Eunice Sahle replaces Nyang'oro and begins her ve-year term as AFAM Department Chair. May 4, 2012: Hartlyn and Andrews' report nds evidence of nine aberrant classes from summer 07 to summer 09 and 43 additonal classes that were taught irregualrly. The investigation also found nine instances where faculty signatures appear to have been forged. Monday: Jim Woodall, district attorney for Orange and Chatham counties, asks SBI to investigate academic and nancial fraud in the department.

Courts likely to decide future of amendment


The impact of Amendment One on families and businesses is still uncertain, experts say.

A Mothers Day commencement ceremony for the class of 2012 drew a crowd of 32,000.

University Editor

All of us in Chapel Hill arrived on the back of others. We hope you will come back, and come back often.
Wade Hargrove,
Chairman of UNC Board of trustees

The class of 2012 took almost 30 minutes to fill, and then overfill, the Kenan Stadium student section. With them they carried items ranging from a bright pink umbrella to a small planted tree. Chancellor Holden Thorp presided over the ceremony and started by addressing the seniors. This is your day, and all of us join you

in a celebration of your academic achievement, Thorp said. There were an estimated 32,000 in attendance, which Thorp compared to the small ceremony for UNCs first seven graduates in 1798. Speaker Michael Bloomberg began his commencement address with several Tar Heel cheers, and said innovation will make graduating seniors successful. Light and liberty; that is the motto of

your university, Bloomberg said. And that, I believe, will be the defining spirit of the 21st century. Bloomberg said last weeks passage of Amendment One in North Carolina an amendment to the state constitution identifying marriage between a man and a woman as the only form of recognized union in the state is an example of a restriction of liberty.

town amends towing ordinance


After an injunction, the Town Council changed trucks cellphone rules.
By Kaitlyn Knepp
Staff Writer

Despite an injunction that invalidates it, the Chapel Hill Town Council chose to amend a towing ordinance Monday to avoid conflict with the towns cellphone ordinance. The councils change comes

nearly a week after Superior Court Judge Orlando Hudson passed an injunction to block both ordinances. The changes to the towing ordinance allow tow-truck operators to comply with the cellphone ordinance, which prohibits the use of both handheld and hands-free devices while operating a motor vehicle. The council voted 7-2 in favor of changing a part of the towing ordinance that deals with how tow-truck operators respond to

calls from people whose vehicles have been towed. The ordinance now provides a 15-minute period during which tow-truck operators can return a message left on their voice mail or answering machine. Matthew Sullivan, staff legal adviser for the Chapel Hill Police Department, said even with the new changes, the injunction will continue to be in effect. We are still prohibited from enforcing the current tow ordi-

nance until after we resolve the injunction and the court action that we currently have pending in court, he said. Council members Matt Czajkowski and Laurin Easthom voted against the ordinance change. Czajkowski said the council should not be debating the issue just because it was hit with an injunction. Im not voting to amend an ordinance to fix a problem with

After North Carolinians voted to amend the state constitution to define marriage between a man and a woman as the only union recognized by the state, there continues to be widespread disagreement over the effects the amendment might have on state businesses and families. Many experts and opponents of Amendment One have expressed concerns that the amendment creates uncertainty for unmarried couples, since state courts have not yet ruled on how to apply the amendment to existing laws. Potential court interpretation could range from business regulation in the state to laws concerning the finances of adoption, domestic violence and custody arrangements of unmarried couples both same-sex and opposite-sex said Maxine Eichner, law professor at the UNC School of Law. Boone Turchi, an economics professor at UNC, said many large corporations are looking for a diverse workforce, and many highly-educated workers are looking for a diverse environment to work in. Turchi said it is very likely that businesses may view this amendment as an obstacle to the creation of such an environment. He said this might lead highly-educated workers and some corporations to choose other states for their business. A passage of an amendment like this could have a significant impact on jobs in the state and on companies that would choose to relocate to North Carolina, said Ryan Butler, president of LGBT Democrats of North Carolina. Turchi said private businesses will likely be able to continue offering benefits to same-sex couples, but there is less certainty surrounding whether public institutions will be able to do the same. Many public institutions have sought legal advice to evaluate the impact of the amendment on their policies. Joni Worthington, spokes-

woman for the UNC system, said the systems attorney is looking at the possible implications of the amendment on UNC policies. Julia Vail, spokesperson for the N.C. Department of State Treasurer, wrote in an email that the state does not anticipate any impact on health or retirement benefits for state employees, but that her department is awaiting further legal interpretation of the amendment. Supporters of the amendment have argued that similar laws have been passed in other states without any economic harm. Sen. Jerry Tillman, R-Montgomery, said the amendment will have no effect on recruitment or job benefits offered to unmarried couples by private and public institutions, although he said that the courts could interpret this differently. The disagreement over economic impact between the two sides is also mirrored in legal matters concerning unmarried couples. Many family law experts are concerned that ambiguities in the amendment may cause courts to reconsider legal doctrines that have been applied in similar matters. Eichner said it is conceivable, though not likely, that a court could rule the domestic violence statute unconstitutional when applied to unmarried couples. She said in Ohio, where a similar constitutional amendment was passed in 2004, a lower-court ruling led to the dismissal of indictments and overturning of convictions in at least 27 cases of domestic violence involving unmarried couples before the state supreme court intervened. Eichner said courts might modify policies on granting custody of children if they conclude that unmarried relationships are not in the childs best interests.

pparently in Australia, its not a big deal for chocolate in the shape of breasts, penises and humping couples to be a part of routine Mothers Day events at school. That is, until the chocolates accidentally get handed out to the students. I had to do a double take, said Cassandra Lacey, a mother of two students at the school. Every single chocolate was to do with sex. Thats what all mothers really want as a gift on Mothers Day: a lot of chocolate, with a little bit of sex. But maybe keep the chocolate to normal shapes and throw in a copy of 50 Shades of Grey. Those kids were probably so excited to about eating candy that they werent even paying attention to what the chocolate looked like.
NOTED. A 67-year-old man died at a strip club after receiving multiple lap dances in a row. The manager of the club said when it came time for him to pay, the man was unresponsive. He was later declared dead from natural causes. Dying is one way to get out of paying. QUOTED. The next thing I know, I got a boat on top of my leg. Tyler Travis, a high school senior from Camas, Wash., who was hit by a flying boat. The boat was flying at about 30 mph and came 25 feet into the shore. Another man, who was in the water at the time, was hit in the head by the boat.

Hillsborough Hog Day kicks off on Friday


The barbecue festival will feature live music and a beer garden.
By Chessa DeCain
City Editor

The smell of about 3,500 pounds of smoking pork will fill the air in River Park in Hillsborough this weekend. Hog Day, a widely-attended local barbecue festival organized by the Hillsborough/Orange County Chamber of Commerce, will kick off Friday at 6 p.m. The festival will run from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Saturday. Hog Day will feature live music, a beer garden, an antique car show and several kids activities.

Margaret Cannell, executive director of the chamber, said the family friendly atmosphere is one of the reasons for the events popularity. She said Hog Day is a great way to eat good barbecue and spend time with family. Thirty teams are expected to work through the night Friday to smoke the thousands of pounds of meat that are expected to be sold on Saturday. Each team will also send a plate of its pork and barbecue sauce to a judges tent, to compete for cash prizes and a trophy. The cookers come in, they cook their meat overnight, chop it up and sauce a small portion, Cannell said. And the judges select five contenders. Judges will announce the win-

ners of the competition Saturday morning. The first place winner will receive $750, Cannell said. David Burch, owner of Smokey Daves BBQ and winner of last years Peoples Choice award for best barbecue, said he regretted not being able to compete this year. The notoriety Ive gotten from Hog Day has been tremendous, he said. Its kept me so busy I cant keep up with it. Erik Myers, owner of Mystery Brewing Company, said he was hoping to increase the popularity of his brewery through Hog Day. Its a really good opportunity for us, he said. Lets us get in front of a lot of people who may not be the craft beer crowd. The brewery, which opened in February and is located in

Hillsborough, will be selling four of its own brews in the beer garden, in addition to a new beer made specially for the festival. Its a really light, easy drinking kolsch-style beer thats basically for everyone whos going, Myers said. A Mayan, end of the world theme will help celebrate the 30th anniversary of the festival. The 30th year is traditionally the pearl anniversary, but we couldnt really come up with anything clever to do with a pearl, Cannell said. We know this is going to be the best Hog Day ever, but who knows if it will be the last Hog Day ever, she said. Admission to Hog Day is free. Contact the City Editor at city@dailytarheel.com.

Q&A with heritage economics professor


Brent Lane discovered a hidden fort image on a 425-year-old map.
By Claire Williams
Staff Writer

Brent Lane, executive director for the UNC Center for Competitive Economies, helped discover a hidden fort on a 425-year-old map of North Carolina that some archaeologists believe could be the site of the Lost Colonys planned capital. Lane was interested in analyzing the map drawn by the members of the first English colony in America. In the process, he realized the significance of the maps patches, which are pieces of parchment covering sections of the map. The British Museum and First Colony Foundation, which Lane is a board member for, detailed Lanes discovery at UNC on May 3. Excavation of the fort site which spans from the modern-day Chesapeake Bay region in Virginia to Cape Lookout is expected to begin in the fall.

Daily Tar Heel: Why would mapmakers cover the fort symbol with a patch? Brent Lane: The patch that everyone is interested in was there to hide a dramatic fort symbol that was marking the spot to build a capital city for Sir Walter Raleigh. One explanation was that the mapmakers hid it because they changed their plans about the location to build the capital city. Another explanation is that they covered it up so that spies from Spain in the English court would not know where to find and destroy their capital. On top of the patch there is a faint image similar to the fort symbol underneath, drawn in invisible ink. DTH: What is the significance of this discovery? BL: This colony is the one that has meant

sItI company to perform work-in-progress Friday night

In rehearsal for Who Do You Think You Are, a work-in-progress by SITI theatre company, J. Ed Araiza demonstrated how two fists can serve as a diagram for the brain. Araiza plays the character Jorge, a victim of violence who becomes intrigued by neuroscience. Who Do You Think You Are explores the complexities and breakthroughs in neuroscience and its impact on human interaction. Anne Bogart, who wrote the work, said it is crucial for people to show interest in these breakthroughs. She said people can improve their lives through the study of brain science. SITI will perform Who Do You Think You Are tomorrow night in Frey Rehearsal Hall at UNCs Center for Dramatic Art. New York-based SITI is the second partici-

pant in PlayMakers Repertory Companys threeyear residency program, which was created by a $200,000 grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Jeffrey Meanza, associate artistic director for PlayMakers, said the program gives participants access to PlayMakers resources and pays for housing as theater companies develop their works. SITI began working on Who Do You Think You Are five years ago, but Bogart said the resources provided by the residency program will likely allow her to complete the complex work. The program gives us the time and space to do the work that needs to be done, Bogart said. Founded in 1992 by Japanese director Tadashi Suzuki and Bogart, SITI has won more than 20 performance awards. I started SITI after I realized that all great performances I had seen were put on by theatre companies, Bogart said.

The performers in Who Do You Think You Are have been members of SITI since its creation. Bogart said SITI establishes relationships between members and draws from a variety of influences to enhance its performances. Before each rehearsal, SITI members engage in a rigorous physical exercises developed by Suzuki to sharpen performers concentration. Bogart also developed a style of improvisation for SITI performers drawn from post-modern dance, called Viewpoints. SITIs performance will take place Friday at 7:30 p.m. and is free and open to the public. To reserve seats, email PRCresidencies@gmail. com. Attendees are encouraged to stay after the performance to discuss the work with the SITI members. Contact the Arts Editor at arts@dailytarheel.com.

something special to people for the last centuries. The search for it is a burden for every generation. It is within our grasp now.

this search can help the school and the economy. There is no gold or money buried with the Lost Colony. The real treasure is the lessons learned in the search. I am interested in how students in UNC and in high schools can participate.

DTH: Will you continue work on the project? BL: My value at this point is to understand how

DTH: What does renewed interest in the Lost Colony mean for economic development? BL: What I expect is that tourism will increase in parts of the state associated with the Lost Colony.

The more they learn, the more attractive North Carolina will be to tourists, new residents and businesses.

County commissioners-elect want change


Penny Rich and Mark Dorosin will run unopposed in the November election.
By Chessa DeCain
City Editor

Penny Rich, a Chapel Hill Town Council member and Mark Dorosin, a managing attorney at the UNC Center for Civil Rights, both won the Democratic primary May 8 for the Orange County Board of Commissioners in District 1. Renee Price re-won her seat in District 2 by receiving nearly 67 percent of the votes in the primary. No Republican candidates ran for the seats, so Rich, who won 33 percent of the vote, and Dorosin, who won nearly 36 percent, will run unopposed in the November general election.

Mark Dorosin County commissioner nominee and attorney at the UNC Center for Civil rights.

Penny Rich
Rich said her campaign began to take form after several people asked her to run for county commissioner.

When a lot of people start calling you and saying you should run, you give it a second thought, she said. Her top priority if elected would be to re-establish communication between the board and local councils, including the Chapel Hill Town Council. I just didnt feel like we had a strong enough voice, she said. I think we had a breakdown in communications, and I dont think the county even realizes it.

As governmental elected bodies, we are not independent of each other, even though we think we are, she said. Rich said she also wanted to lessen the divide between rural and urban residents in Orange County and would work to find an agreement between the county and Chapel Hill on solid waste management. We absolutely have to stop putting a wedge between the rural folks and the city folks, Rich said. We all live in the same county, we all benefit from each other. Rich said she will resign from her seat on town council in November, if elected.

Mark Dorosin
Dorosin said he decided to run for a commissioners seat after working for years with local civil rights activists. For all the work that the community advocates have been doing on the activist side of the table, it would be potentially incredibly powerful to have a voice on the policy side, he

said. Dorosin said he wanted to take the values he holds as a civil rights lawyer and the values of Orange County and implement them directly into the policy making process. Lets be talking about things at the forefront when were making policy, he said. Rather than as an afterthought. One of Dorosins first priorities if elected will be to ensure that residents of the Rogers-Eubanks neighborhood receive reparations for health and other issues linked to living near the countys landfill. He said he also wants the county to focus on bringing in new business. One of his ideas is to begin a county fair, celebrating local agriculture, artisans, music and food. He said a fair would show others in the state what makes Orange County so special. Ive had a lot of people both in the campaign and since say theyre really excited about it.

Kang selected for national arts council


The Senate must now approve Emil Kang to serve on the council.
By Becky Bush
Staff Writer

One of UNCs own has been nominated by President Barack Obama to serve on the National Council on the Arts. Emil Kang, executive director for the arts at UNC, has been with the University since 2005 and is also the ex-officio for the Carolina Performing Arts National Advisory Board. Kang currently co-teaches artistic entrepreneurship classes. Before becoming one of the councils 14 members, Kang will have to undergo a Senate confirmation process. Kang introduced UNCs first major performing arts series, Carolina Performing Arts, which was done in conjunction with the reopening of Memorial Hall. The council convenes three times each year and advises the National Endowment for the Arts on grant funds, leadership initiatives and policy direction.

Pending Senate confirmation, Kang will serve a six-year term. Kang said he has been instructed by the White House not to comment on the nomination. He said he assumes this is due to the upcoming Senate confirmation process. Kang will still be working at the University, said Ellen James, marketing manager for Carolina Performing Arts. Nothing will change with his current position at UNC, James said. Presidential appointments to the council are based on an individuals achievements and service to the development of art programs. Nominees are chosen from all geographic regions of the country. Kang has previously served as the president and executive director of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and has held positions with the American Composers Orchestra and Seattle Symphony Orchestra. Maria Lopez De Leon, who is the executive director for the National Association of Latino Arts and Culture, was nominated alongside Kang for the council.

Emil Kang, Executive director for the arts at UNC was nominated by President Obama to serve on the National Council on the Arts.
I am proud that such experienced and committed individuals have agreed to serve the American people in these important roles, Obama said in a press release. I look forward to working with them in the months and years ahead. Senior Ryan Dickey, who has met Kang several times through the Kenan Music Scholars program and as a music performance major, said Kangs expertise in the arts and passion for people make him a perfect candidate for the National Council on the Arts. As a music student, seeing symphony orchestras and classical ensembles at Memorial Hall has been fundamental in my growth as a musician here, Dickey said. It is obvious that Emil Kang has keen eyes and ears for the arts, Dickey said. He is equally marked with a warm personality, and has an intensity and enthusiasm for life that is noticeable on the first impression. The council was founded in 1964 and its inaugural members included prominent artists such as Nobel Prize winning author John Steinbeck. Its next meeting will be in July.

George King, owner of George King Towing Service, is suing the town to repeal both ordinances. King could not be reached for comment. Kings lawyer, Thomas Stark, said the cellphone ban makes it impossible for King to comply with the towing ordinance, which requires tow operators to answer their cellphones while working. Ralph Karpinos, town attorney, said a date for the next hearing has not been set.

GRADUATION

The New York City mayor then concentrated on the value of a UNC degree. Only a lack of education can hold you back in America and today youve cleared the bar, and youve done it at one of the countrys finest institutions, Bloomberg said. Bloomberg said the economy is just one of many difficulties graduates must overcome. Failure is the worlds best teacher, Bloomberg said. Education is a lifelong journey. Class of 2012 Vice President Mohammad Saad said seniors reception of Bloombergs speech has been mixed. I think everyone was pleased that he had done his research on campus life, but some people thought his speech was too general and vague, Saad said. Senior and New York native Joshua Ford said he expected a general speech from Bloomberg. Giving advice to thousands of people is difficult, even if he were from North Carolina or Chapel Hill, Ford said. He said seniors were receptive to Bloombergs opposition to Amendment One. No one really expected him to mention Amendment One, but it showed just how far-reaching its

Europes path uncertain amidst leadership changes
PARIS (MCT) - The financially besieged European Union embarked on an uncertain path Tuesday, with a new president in France and a call for new elections in Greece, developments that are certain to change the way Europe handles its economic crisis. In France, Socialist Francois Hollande took his oath of office in a rainy Paris at a subdued ceremony befitting a troubled economy. In his inaugural address, Hollande described Frances economic situation in blunt terms: massive debt, low growth, high unemployment, a degraded competitiveness and a Europe that is struggling to emerge from the crisis. He pledged to spread the pain of a budget shortfall, through new taxes, from a middle class that is losing jobs to the wealthy. Meanwhile, in Greece, that countrys president gave up on his efforts to cobble together a unity government, a failure that will send Greek voters back to the polls next month in an effort to settle the countrys political morass. No date for the new elections the last ones were on May 6 - has been set, but the balloting must take place by mid June - coincidentally, the deadline for the country to impose new spending cuts and taxes called for under the bailout agreement.

Ron Paul still aims for delegates at state conventions


LOS ANGELES (MCT) - One day after announcing that he would no longer campaign in states that have yet to hold primaries, officials with Ron Pauls campaign clarified Tuesday that the Texas congressman was not suspending his presidential bid. We recognize Gov. Romney has what is likely to be an insurmountable delegate lead, said Jesse Benton, Pauls national campaign chairman. However we believe we still have very, very strong things we can accomplish by continuing this campaign, and Dr. Paul is continuing the campaign. Dr. Paul is not suspending his campaign and he is not dropping out of the race. Paul has more than 100 delegates who are committed to him, as well as more than 200 who are bound to vote for Romney at the convention but who back Paul, Benton said. These figures do not include alternates. A candidate needs 1,144 delegates to clinch the nomination. Paul is not likely to formally endorse Romney, he said.

In a letter addressed to all faculty in the College of Arts and Sciences, Karen Gil, dean of the college, wrote that because most issues cited in the Universitys report occurred during summer sessions, the summer school is putting new policies in place to monitor summer teaching assignments.

Woodall said he had not previously been aware of minors buying alcohol online, and that prosecuting online vendors could be difficult. We would have a problem getting defendants physically into court, especially if theyre not in North Carolina, Woodall said. That would be very expensive to get them here. David Jernigan, director of the Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth at the Johns Hopkins Universitys Bloomberg School of Public Health, wrote accompanying commentary on the study. Jernigan said that the study shows there is a much greater demand than previously realized and that it was too easy for minors to obtain alcohol. Regulation and enforcement is going to have to keep up with technology, and were not doing as good a job as we should be, Jernigan said. Contact the University Editor at university@dailytarheel.com.

Alternative graduation supported Occupy


About 100 people attended the event in Forest Theatre.
By Alex Dixon
Arts Editor

As thousands gathered in Kenan Stadium Sunday, a much smaller group occupied the Forest Theatre for an alternative commencement ceremony. The organization of the alternative commencement began in response to the announcement that Michael Bloomberg New York City mayor and founder of financial services company

Bloomberg LP would be speaking at the 2012 commencement ceremony in Kenan Stadium. Charles Eisenstein, author and participant in the national Occupy movement, addressed seniors at the ceremony and said it was not an anti-Bloomberg event. Organizers of the alternative commencement said they oppose Bloombergs actions toward Occupy Wall Street protesters, including the eviction of protestors by New York City police. The hate of a tiny tyrannical executive is nothing compared to the love here today, speaker Haywood Carey said. About 100 students, faculty, family and community members

As people listen to Mayor Michael Bloomberg, they know they missed the real commencement .
Don Nonini,
UNC professor of anthropology

attended the alternative commencement. Speakers touched on their shared beliefs ranging from human rights and job satisfaction to nonviolence. Nobel Peace Prize nominee Kathy Kelly shared her experiences as an activist in the Middle East and said graduates can make a difference through nonviolent protests. To be a person of our time is

exciting because of Occupy Wall Street, Kelly said. Speakers and graduates showed support for the Occupy movement through hand signals associated with the protests. We need to shape our world, not have political leaders shape it for us, said Alanna Davis, graduating senior and alternative commencement organizer. Classmate and fellow organizer Kathleen McDonald said the

ceremony even appealed to those who do not oppose Bloomberg because graduates could sit with their families. Graduates at the commencement ceremony in Kenan Stadium were congregated in the student section, with family members in general seating. Graduates and attendees were given the opportunity to speak on stage after the ceremony ended. Student band Morning Brigade played before and after the ceremony, and organizers passed out bottles of bubbles with messages and some with UNC logos. At the end of the commencement, graduates gathered on stage and sang the UNC alma mater.

Eisenstein, a Yale University graduate, said the ceremonys style and atmosphere were more representative of graduates college experience than traditional graduation ceremonies. When I graduated 23 years ago it was pretty boring, Eisenstein said. All that just didnt seem real to me. Eisenstein said students choosing to attend this ceremony were beginning a lifetime of following their beliefs. This graduation is a transition to doing what you care about, Eisenstein said.

game against Dartmouth. I think some of the keys are getting draw control, Cannizzaro said. Possessions are obviously really important, especially when Syracuse plays some fast teams. They really like to slow the game down and run more of a stall offense. Getting ground balls will be another key component in maintaining possession and dictating the tempo of the game. In the 18 games played this season, UNC is 274-217 against opponents in total ground balls earned. Though the stakes are higher, the Tar Heels prepared the way they do for any game by focusing on playing their game, regardless of the opponent. All season weve had the mentality that we can play anyone, anywhere and its us that we have to focus on, Lynch said. Whether thats focusing on our game plan because of them or playing well.

Ready for regional action in Georgia


UNC softball is excited for the postseason after missing out in 2011.
By Henry Gargan
Staff Writer

After losing to Virginia Tech 4-1 in the second round of the ACC softball tournament, Haleigh Dickey said she wasnt sure if that game would be the seasons last. The North Carolina softball team won the ACCs regular season outright, but after the Tar Heels were snubbed from the NCAA tournament last year after being runners-up for both ACC titles she was hesitant to take the postseason for granted. On Sunday, though, Dickey and her teammates breathed a sigh of relief. No. 22 UNC was selected

as the second seed in the tournaments Athens, Ga., regional. The Tar Heels will play their first game on Friday against Georgia Southern at 2:30 p.m. Last year we were told we were the number two seed and wed finished second in the ACC, coach Donna Papa said. We were second in everything, and we wound up not getting in. And the teams that were third and fourth in their conference, even in our conference, got in. I think theres a little hesitation from some of the players because we were a shoo-in, and then we got shooed out, Papa said. Though the Tar Heels are happy to still be playing, theyre even happier with their tournament path, beginning in Georgia. Four of UNCs startersLogan Foulks, Lori Spingola, Kelli Wheeler and Dickeyhail from

the Peach State. Of all the regions we could have been put in, Im really excited about this one, Papa said. I feel like this ones very doable. Even better, should both the Tar Heels and the Hokies make it out of their region, they would meet for a best-of-three series in the Super Regional. But regardless of who the teams playing, UNC believes an improved focus on the simple things will prevent lapses such as the one against Virginia Tech last week. The past few days weve been working a lot on fundamentals in the infield, sophomore pitcher Spingola said. Ill go in knowing that I can be successful with great defense and great bats behind me. For the Tar Heels, two-a-day practices and simply working on players swings have replaced technical scrutiny. Papa wants to

emphasize the games simplicity more than anything. Were just trying to stay focused and stay within ourselves, she said. There were a couple of times this year, at Florida State and against Virginia Tech, when we go away from being ourselves and trying to be something that we werent. Papa said her team had made great strides at the plate since last season. But the loss to VT proved that when the offense isnt producing, Spingola cant afford to pitch anything but lights-out. For that ailment, Papas prescription is simple. Were just trying to stay calm and focused and put the ball in play, she said. Get on, get em over, get em in.

Virginia Tech will be the nal ACC series for seniors


Only 1 baseball series remains before postseason.
Hobbs Johnson, who was supposed to start Sundays series finale with Duke, missed that start due to illness and started Tuesday against the Bulldogs. He struck out five batters in four innings while giving up five hits and one earned run on his way to picking up his fifth win of the season. He looked OK, Fox said. He settled in, Im not sure if Hobbs was 100 percent tonight. I know he felt a lot a better. But he pitched OK, he settled in there and gave us four good innings. If Johnsons health continues to improve Fox said he saw no reason that he wouldnt start Saturdays season finale in his usual role as the third weekend starter. On Thursday, the Tar Heels will start the staff ace sophomore lefty Kent Emanuel who is 7-3 with a 1.74 ERA. Friday, freshman Benton Moss will get the start and he is 5-2 with an ERA of 2.40.

After first- and second-round matches at the Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center this weekend, both the North Carolina mens and womens tennis teams advanced to the third round of the NCAA tournament otherwise known as the Sweet 16. The mens team bested the College of Charleston on Saturday and Tennessee on Sunday. In both matches the Tar Heels clinched victory after the first four matchups, and they head into the Sweet 16 without having dropped a point. But head coach Sam Paul isnt concerned with the scores its the outcome that generates momentum. I just think winning gives

confidence, Paul said. It means were playing well and we want to keep that going. No. 15 UNC will face No. 3 Georgia on Friday, and like all of the other third-round matches men and women alike it will be in Athens, Ga. The Tar Heels just happen to be on a collision course with the hosts. Weve played a tough schedule all year, Paul said. Obviously, (Georgia) is a great team and a great program. So well just do the stuff that weve done. Weve played them a couple times last couple years so it wont be something totally different to us. When Brennan Boyajian clinched Sundays victory with a 6-1, 6-3 win, it punched UNCs first ticket to the Sweet 16 since 2008. In fact, the mens team has lost in the second round each of the last three seasons. The women, on the other hand, have been to the Sweet 16 three consecutive years now after beating Richmond 4-0 and Arizona 4-2. Head coach Brian

Kalbas contributes that consistent success to his core of upperclassmen. The three seniors we have, have been amazing leaders, Kalbas said. As far as leading by example, vocally its just impressive to see all three of them have their best year as a senior. The win lines the No. 7 Tar Heels up with No. 11 Miami in the regional semifinals. North Carolina beat Miami in Chapel Hill in early April 4-3 but the Hurricanes have lost just once since then. I think its going to be a very different match, Kalbas said. There will be a lot of different matchups, especially in singles. So the doubles point will be important like it was Theres no secrets playing another ACC opponent again. UNC and Miami will play Thursday at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex in Athens at 7 p.m.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR


Findings deliver a heavy blow to UNC department
TO THE EDITOR: The recently issued Review of Courses in the Department of African and Afro-American Studies at UNC is sobering and disappointing for all of us who believe deeply in African and Afro-American studies and are committed to upholding the ideals and the integrity of the University. The findings of the report have been a heavy blow to us. We are particularly mindful of our majors who have worked hard, with integrity, and are in no way implicated in this report that deals primarily with a subset of summer school courses taken mostly by non-majors. There are two findings of the report that merit greater attention: Finding 7: No evidence emerged during the review that directly implicates any faculty or staff other than potentially professor Nyangoro or Ms. Crowder in the creation of aberrant or irregularly taught courses, or in the recording or changing of student grades in these courses. And from the conclusion: The evidence we reviewed indicated that between 2007 and 2011 the vast majority of courses offered in the Department of African and Afro-American Studies were not compromised in the ways outlined in this report. The vast majority of all students taking our course were not impacted. The report also made clear that the determined and visionary new department chair and the faculty have put in long hours establishing policies and procedures that will ensure that nothing remotely like this situation will ever happen again. Most importantly, we want to ensure that our graduating majors will be able to enjoy the day of pride and celebration that they have earned. Reginald F. Hildebrand Associate professor African and afro-american studies marriage in the state constitution. While opponents of the amendment used deceptive tactics to confuse voters and suppress turnout, North Carolinians voted overwhelmingly to protect traditional marriage to ensure that marriage stays as God intended it to be, between one man and one woman. While some may try to say differently, values matter. We live in a nation that was built on values. The U.S. is exceptional because of the ideals that it was founded on, put forth in the Declaration of Independence. When we surrender the very values and ideals that our nation was founded on, I suggest that we surrender the exceptional status of the U.S. I am grateful to the people of North Carolina for voting with me to protect the important institution of marriage. Brendan Madigan 14 Public policy

ummer vacation has arrived! Freshly cut grass, pool parties, sunburns, family, friends and perhaps a sizzling romance to match the scorching summer sun. Oh wait. Youre in summer school. Before you come slap me for my blatant use of juxtaposition, please allow me to clarify. I am one of you. I have consciously, purposefully, rather reluctantly but nevertheless dutifully chosen to postpone the previously stated summer endeavors in order to further my education and hopefully assure my graduation within four years. Who in their right mind would trade the freedoms of summer for more school work, especially after completing two long, grueling semesters? Based on research by Francis Caro, most members of the middle class. Caros article entitled Deferred Gratification, Time Conflict and College Attendance proposes that the distinction between social classes comes from the unique ability of middle class members to defer gratification. Basically, Caro says my choice to attend summer school is a means of postponing the immediate satisfactions of summer in order to fulfill the later goal of graduating from a prestigious university with a decent GPA. And maybe hes onto something. Every stage in my life thus far has been defined by what I was about to experience. When I was in elementary school, I wanted to grow up and be one of the big kids. When I was in middle school, I desperately wanted to turn 16 so that I could get my drivers license and drive myself to the movies. And when I was a senior in high school, I dreamed of the day I would lounge on the quad here at UNC. Odds are you have undergone similar situations, where you dream of something beyond the present. Theres probably been a moment in your life when youve waited for a time when life would simply be better. But as you bustle back and forth between classes this summer, ask yourself: have you ever finally reached that point in the future when everything feels perfect? Granted, the desire for a better future is one of the greatest methods of human motivation. If we were completely content, we would never fight to save the environment, question social prejudices or progress in science or technology. But I fear that modern society places too much emphasis on this misleading future perfection and ignores the simple beauty of everyday existence. So, my fellow summer schoolers, I challenge you to perform one small, instantly gratifying activity every day this summer. Buy the song you keep singing from the radio, take the long roundabout path to class, read snippets of a good or trashy novel. Those little things wont hurt your future goals one bit. Relish in the limited time we have at this wonderful university. We all deserve to stop every now and then and enjoy the glorious Carolina blue sky.

Repeal Amendment One

EDITORIAL

An amendment that violates equality for all cannot stand.

hile the outcome of the May 8 election is a setback for both unmarried homosexual and heterosexual couples, the battle against Amendment One must rage on. And since many of the counties that voted against the amendment are home to colleges and universities, students and faculty at UNC and other institutions must continue to play an active role in making sure the amendment is repealed. Amendment One violates the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which states, No State shall deprive any person of life, liberty or property without the due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the law. As Amendment One dissolves both heterosexual and homosexual civil unions, many of the rights afforded to such couples are no longer valid. For example, the new law may make it more difficult for one partner of an unmarried couple whether a homosex-

ual or heterosexual to maintain custody over his or her child should the partner with primary custody die or become incapacitated. Many voters in North Carolina were unaware of such effects prior to election day. A recent poll showed only 36 percent of the population understood the amendment would ban both gay marriage and civil unions; 26 percent thought the amendment only banned gay marriage, and 10 percent thought voting against it would actually legalize gay marriage. Twenty-seven percent said they didnt know what effect the amendment would have on families. The numbers alone provide a basis for a repeal of the amendment. They also show that if people had been better informed, the outcome would have been different. When told about the legal ramifications of the law, only 38 percent of voters continue to support it and 46 percent oppose it. Many of the proponents for the law argued that the amendment upheld Christian religious principles. The Rev. Billy Graham, who is 93 years old, made phone calls to North

Carolina families in the week leading up to the amendment, said, The Bible is clear Gods definition of marriage is between a man and a woman. This argument also opposes the U.S. Constitution, as the First Amendment to the Bill of Rights provides for separation of church and state. As federal law overrides state law, a repeal of Amendment One seems fairly clear cut. The U.S. Supreme Court will soon debate Proposition 8, a similar law in California. Many hope it will be overturned. If students and members of the community want to see Amendment One repealed, they must work to make their voices heard and inform other citizens about the effects of this legislation. The history of this country is filled with a plethora of legislative mistakes Jim Crow laws and the disenfranchisement of women to name a couple. But theres a system in place to help fix those mistakes. Its important that we figure out how to use it to fix this one. This civil rights issue will define our generation. We must make sure we remain on the right side of it.

Celebrate, but remember your fellow tar heels


TO THE EDITOR: During the commencement ceremony on May 12, 1996 Mothers Day a cloud of smoke floated over Kenan Stadium, masking the Carolina blue sky, a cloud originating from the Phi Gamma Delta house. That morning, five young people lost their lives in a tragic fire: Mark Strickland, Josh Weaver, Ben Woodruff, Joanna Howell and Anne Smith. Today, let us think of those five young Tar Heels. Let their memory remind us all that our time is precious, that our safety lies in our own hands. As a result of the fire, all dorms and Greek houses have sprinklers and fire alarm systems with direct notification to the fire department. If you live off campus, insist that every bedroom have a working smoke detector and try to select housing with sprinkler systems. We truly have heroes in the Chapel Hill Fire Department who keep us all safe and healthy. But ultimately, it is our individual responsibility to ensure that we are well protected from fire. Do not let the deaths of these five young students be in vain. Take steps to protect yourself. And never forget. Hill Winstead 12 History

A man without a party

EDITORIAL

To compete in the fall, Democrats must force David Parker out.

tempest in a teapot. That was how David Parker, embattled chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party, described the sexual harassment scandal that led to a meeting of the partys state executive committee Saturday in Greensboro. Parker said publicly that he would resign at the meeting, following calls for withdrawal from party members and elected officials including Democratic gubernatorial candidate Walter Dalton. But Parkers resignation speech sounded more like a rallying cry, and after deliberations described by one party leader as pandemonium, the committee voted to reject his resignation. Parkers self-centered decision to stay undermines the efforts of Democrats in the hugely important November elections. If the party hopes to defeat the Republicans

this fall, they must resolve to remove Parker from the equation. Sexual harassment charges were made against Jay Parmley, the former executive director who resigned after they were publicly revealed. Parmley was right to step down, and Parker should have followed suit. His refusal to deal with the situation has caused great embarrassment and could have detrimental effects for the party. As 2012 is a critical election year at both the state and national levels, Parkers willingness to put self-interest before party interest could not come at a worse time for Democrats. The party was swept out of the North Carolina legislature in 2010 by a Republican tide fueled by the Tea Party movement. The effects of the strict budget they subsequently passed have been felt across the state. As a result, the UNC-system Board of Governors approved tuition increases at all 16 campuses. Democratic candidates, including Dalton, are pledging

to return funding to schools. But Parkers contentious leadership could jeopardize the partys efforts. As North Carolinas gubernatorial race is one of only 12 in the nation this November, that contest might very well come down to fundraising ability. And Parker may put Dalton at a disadvantage. More fundamentally, Parkers actions the attempted cover up in response to the sexual harassment charges and his refusal to acknowledge the importance of image to a political party reflect values at odds with the transparent and unified leadership which Democrats desperately need right now. By going back on his word to the public and the candidates depending on him, he violated the trust of the people of this state. There is no sustainable path for the party under Parker; he presides on borrowed time. Either he steps down now or come November, Democrats realize that his deluded meteorology underestimated the size of this tempest.

Weekly QuickHits
Rallies for Repeal
Were throwing our full support behind the Repeal Amendment One campaign. You can write a law that defies the 1st and 14th amendments, but heres hoping that it cant stand up in court.

Cell phones vs. towing


The towing ordinance doesnt align with the cell phone ban, so Chapel Hill town councils writing another exception to the rule? How long before they realize that this whole thing really isnt going to fly?

Obama on marriage
The presidents decision to support gay marriage has both parties and the public talking. Heres hoping that the discussion promotes action in both North Carolina and across the country.

Summer blockbusters
Weve got superheroes, vampires, vampire hunters and aliens. Aside from the angst, were excited. Guys: prepare for the explosions. Ladies: plenty of eye candy to go around.
