3 people dead in Chapel Hill shooting

The shooting took place
in condominiums near the
Friday Center.
By Holly West
City Editor

Its 7:17 p.m. and a woman is

sitting on a curb on Summerwalk
Circle, face in her hands, sobbing.
The clock ticks to 7:42 p.m.
Another woman breaks down after
inquiring from police about her
daughter and son-in-law.
At 8:05 p.m., a father screams, Its
been hours! Just tell me if hes alive!

At 8:28 p.m., an uncle runs

toward officers, begging for information about his nephew.
These were the scenes on
Summerwalk Circle in Chapel Hill
Tuesday night as police responded
to a triple homicide at Finley Forest
Condominiums.
Officers responded to a call about
gunshots in the complex at 5:11 p.m.
They discovered three victims, who
were pronounced dead at the scene.
Chapel Hill police questioned a
person of interest Tuesday night and
did not believe there was an ongoing
threat to the public, according to a
press release from the department.
At press time, police hadnt

conversation

released any identifying information

about the three victims or the person in custody.
With little information available,
officers patrolling the street could
only direct distraught family members to the complexs clubhouse and
try to keep things under control.
We just have to calm them down
the best way we can, said Officer
Ron Telfair.
Telfair said the police departments
investigations team was responsible
for notifying family members of those
involved in the incident.
Even neighbors who were home
at the time of the shooting have no
answers from police.

Kristen Boling, a UNC psychology student who lives in the building

where the shooting occurred, said
she arrived home at 3:45 p.m. but
didnt hear or see anything until
police arrived on the scene.
It was a regular day when I got
off the bus, she said. Now its chaos
and confusion and theyre not telling
us whats going on.
Another Finley Forest resident,
Bethany Boring, said she didnt
expect something like this to happen
in her neighborhood.
Its a really quiet community, a
lot of graduate students, professionals and families, she said. I thought
it was pretty safe.

By 9 p.m., the dark street, lit

only by flashing blue and orange
police lights, was empty except for
four police officers and a few lingering reporters.
Lt. Josh Mecimore, a spokesman
for Chapel Hill police, said no more
information would be available
until Wednesday.
The University made counseling services available overnight.
Students can call 919-966-3658 during regular business hours.
We know many of you may be
feeling unsettled by this news, an

A runoff for Walker, Summers

Its among nine UNC centers under

a Board of Governors review.
By Corey Risinger
Staff Writer

Crossing party lines and professions, UNCs

James B. Hunt Jr. Institute engages legislators
and teachers in an education policy dialogue.
The institute is one of nine UNC centers that
remain under review by the UNC-system Board
of Governors, which is presenting a report on the
issue Feb. 27. The review could affect the centers
state funding or endanger their futures.
Judith Rizzo, executive director of the Hunt
Institute, said she is not worried about the results
of the boards investigation into the organization.
Given the reaction to my presentation (in
December) at the Board of Governors, I think they
got a good sense of the value, the uniqueness (of the
institute), Rizzo said.
Rizzo said she was
particularly confident
in the boards perception of the institutes
priorities, which she
maintained do not
include furthering any
political agenda.
We were just trying to demonstrate that this really was bipartisan
and, at best, nonpartisan, she said.
Concerns for funding are on Rizzos radar, but
she said the institute has outside sources of funding,
like General Electric and the Rhodes Foundation.
Actually, we bring in four times the amount of
money that we receive from the state, she said.
Brian Balfour, policy director at conservativeleaning Civitas said his organization is opposed to
taxpayer support of the centers, not their missions.
But George Noblit, a UNC education professor, said without the Hunt Institute, the state
would be faced with a significant loss.
Almost all of the initiatives of the past 10
years that have come down on education, the
Hunt Institute has been a player, Noblit said.
Theyre a convener; theyre a connector.
Nicole Roscoe, associate policy analyst at the
Hunt Institute and a 2014 UNC graduate, said
the institutes role in the legislature and education is beneficial to the UNC system.
The UNCs systems mission is to educate the
people of North Carolina, and its done a really
good job of that, Roscoe said. The Hunt Institute,
I think, kind of plays into that larger goal the more
were able to connect leaders and decision-makers.
Rizzo said the Hunt Institute aims to surround
governors with informed and engaged leaders in
the education world. The institute recently created
the Hunt-Kean Fellowship, which involves inviting
16 to 18 fellows to legislative retreats and offering
opportunities to interact with policy leaders.
Among this first group of cohorts is a diverse collection of attorney generals, lieutenant governors,
state senators and commissioners, Rizzo said.
The Hunt Institute also organizes legislative
retreats for state officials, wherein they can gain
bipartisan insights on education policy.
Ferrel Guillory, a UNC journalism professor,
said he has been invited to previous legislative

Senior Writers

Juniors Houston Summers and Kathryn

Walker will compete in a runoff election
next week, following an election with the
lowest turnout in at least the past ten years.
Summers led the three, receiving 35.6
percent of the votes. Walker received 26.3
percent while David Marsh was kept out of
the runoff with 21.2 percent of the vote.
These percentages do not
include write-in
votes, which constituted 17 percent
of the 3,791 total
voters.
This total is the

out in more than a decade. The lowest voter

turnout in a general election since 2005 had
previously been 4,507 votes in 2012.
Writer and folklorist Zora Neale Hurston,
who died in 1960, got 403 write-in votes.
Activists want Hurston to replace
William Saunders as the prominent campus buildings namesake. Hurston received
10.6 percent of total votes.
Other names included in the write-in
votes tally were Left Shark, Dean Smith and
Hillary Clinton.
Marsh said he will endorse a candidate but was not yet ready to make an
announcement.
Obviously Im disappointed with the
results, but I really have no regrets about

After hearing the news that she would
continue in the election, Walker said she
was grateful for the students support.
I feel incredibly humbled to have the
students support to get this far, to have the
people behind me who believe in my platform to say we like what youre doing. We
think youre going to help us, so were voting

In the moments after results were
announced, Summers said he and Walker
decided they would take a few days off from

here are many things that police officers look for when trying
to find criminals or criminal activity: suspicious people, strange
chemical smells, things that are out of place. Any of them could
suggest theres an illegal drug lab to be found. One recent situation in Holland proved that police officers can be creative when looking for
clues. It snowed in Holland (as it does frequently in the winter), and many
roofs were covered in snow. But police noticed a strange area of one roof
that was, oddly, immune to the snow. The officers deduced there might be
marijuana heat lamps in the dwelling and raided the house. Sure enough,
the officers found an industrial-scale marijuana production organization.
Excellent use of context clues, officers.

Villemains Dean Smith a friend to many

stipend
under review
Student Congress wants to cut the
vice presidents pay for one month.
By David Doochin
Staff Writer

The Student Congress Finance Committee

decided on Tuesday to draft a bill to cut Student
Body Vice President Kyle Villemains stipend for
one month.
As vice president, Villemain said he has the
responsibility to appoint student members to
more than 50 external committees, administrative boards and governors boards. One of these
is the Hardship Parking Committee, which allocates parking permits to students who qualify for
hardship parking passes.
Student Congress must approve Villemains
appointments to the Hardship Parking Committee
before its members can make official decisions.
Villemain submitted a bill last week for approval to Student Congress regarding the appointment of Hardship Parking Committee members
although he was asked to do so early last semester.
Finance Committee Chairman Josh Aristy said
its necessary to hold members of the executive
branch accountable.
We need to have a mechanism to provide
incentive for an executive branch member to
actually do what theyre supposed to do, Aristy
said. We should punish the official for not doing
their job, and I believe one month stipend is
punishment enough.
He said the Finance Committee was in a
unique position, as it has rarely had to implement
a punishment for a problem like this before.
Its something weve toyed with in the past,
Aristy said.
Villemain said even though he did end up
submitting a bill this semester, Student Congress
members were upset over the timing.
Last full Congress meeting I gave them a bill to
approve the Hardship Parking Committee officially.
Only a few of the members were able to attend, and
I was gonna bring (the bill) back on the next full
Congress meeting, he said. Student Congress felt
that it was inadequate or wrong in some way.
Student Congress member Priyesh Krishnan
said its important to establish the guidelines and
repercussions for incidents like this.
We have something to work off of if in the
future we have to make these kinds of decisions, he said.
Aristy said theres not a full guarantee
Villemains stipend will be cut because there hasnt
been an official bill drafted to propose the cut yet.
Villemain said he hopes the incident does not
hurt the Hardship Parking Committee.
Its really a logistical bureaucratic concern.
Its not about the integrity of the committee or
the process, he said.

Junior Michael Morrison speaks during a vigil held Tuesday evening at the Smith Center to honor Coach Dean Smith and his civil rights efforts.

Student vigil honored Smiths social justice efforts

By Pat James and Carlos Collazo
Assistant Sports Editors

Students gathered around a makeshift

memorial outside of the Dean E. Smith Center
Tuesday night. The wind blew through the
North Carolina and UNC flags, which were
lowered to half-staff in honor of the man after
whom the building was named.
In the wake of Smiths death Saturday
night, student groups dedicated to diversity
planned the event in an attempt to continue
the dialogue of Smiths contributions to civil
rights and humanitarian efforts across the
state and country.
The National Pan-Hellenic Council,
Black Student Movement, UNCs NAACP
chapter and Office of Diversity and
Multicultural Affairs all had a hand in
organizing the event.
We planned it yesterday, said Ashley
Winkfield, a senior communication studies
major who spearheaded the event.
After hearing about the coachs passing, I
felt there was such a need to really understand
who he was as a person and why he was constantly being honored on our campus.
Trey Mangum, BSM president, opened

the event by addressing the crowd of

approximately 30 students and faculty.
Shortly after, students gathered in a semicircle and read aloud the 10 leadership lessons from Dean Smiths book, The Carolina
Way, such as caring, commitment, servant
leadership and discipline.
Taffye Benson Clayton, the vice chancellor for diversity and multicultural affairs
and BSMs faculty adviser, then took to a
Carolina Blue podium in front of the flowers and letters left for Smith on Sunday
and delivered a speech on Smiths role as a
leader for civil rights.
Most of all, Dean Smith was a mentor,
Clayton said.
And he was a friend to many. A principled and spiritual man, who brought his
deep and abiding values to our campus, to
our community, to our state and yes our
nation. And we are better for it.
Smith pushed for integration at restaurants in Chapel Hill, recruited Charlie Scott
the first black scholarship athlete at
UNC and participated in sit-ins as part
of his persistent demand for social equality.
Honestly, after his passing, I heard so
many things about him I didnt even know,

Cellar Door still expanding

Cellar Door has been publishing student writers, poets and artists work since
1973. Each semester they publish a 45- to 50-page issue with a launch party.

will host an installation of Cellar Door

artwork this semester which will be
on display for the week of Feb. 16.
For as long as Ive been here, weve
had a reading for writers who are in
the magazine, but weve never had an
equivalent for art, said Art Director
Olivia Branscum. It was important
for me to have an opportunity for artists to show their work.
McCorkle, who is in her third
semester as editor-in-chief, says the
success of Cellar Door alumni, such
as short story writer and novelist Jill
McCorkle who is the cousin of
Karina McCorkles father helps to
keep the magazine running.
I think its, to a certain extent,
every person in the creative writing
programs dream to be published in
Cellar Door during their career at
UNC, Karina McCorkle said.
Sarah-Kathryn Bryan, a senior
womens and gender studies and
comparative literature double major,

has been submitting poetry to Cellar

Door since her freshman year. She
said while her initial decision to
submit was based on knowing she
wouldnt be charged a submission fee
as an undergraduate, she has since
developed a loyalty to the magazine.
It was the first place my work
was published after high school, and
it also has a high standard of work,
so I really consider it an honor each
time Im allowed to have my work
showcased among my very talented
peers work, Bryan said.
Branscum said she hopes to see
more mixed media published. She
has recently pushed for sculpture
and video submissions, which can be
posted on Cellar Doors website.
Theres a lot of really varied
work going on at UNC, and I want
to come closer to representing all of
that, she said.

Housing costs rise

even as income falls
Increased housing costs
create problems for
affordable housing.

By Madison Flager
Cellar Door is one of the longest
running publications at UNC, and as
writers, poets and artists submit their
work before Mondays deadline, theyll
be competing to contribute to the
magazines 42nd year on campus.
On Tuesday, the group received
$3,765 from Student Congress to pay
for its printing and judging costs.
First published in 1973, Cellar
Door has a history of celebrating the
work of student poets, fiction writers and artists. Beginning with the
fall 2014 issue, the editors added
creative nonfiction to that list.
Editor-in-Chief Karina McCorkle
said shes not sure why it took so
long for nonfiction works to be
incorporated, but the shift goes
along with a greater focus on nonfiction within the Universitys creative
writing department.
I think there is just as much creative merit in a personal essay like
a travel piece as in a fiction piece,
McCorkle said. If theres a whole
set of creative writers who are writing creative nonfiction and they are
barred from submitting pieces to the
main creative magazine on campus, to
me, that is just silly.
Cellar Door publishes a 45- to
50-page issue each semester, with
a launch party and reading at
Bulls Head Bookshop. Awards are
announced at this event after the
pieces are judged by a professional
writer or artist within each category.
For the first time, Hanes Art Center

said Jennell McIntosh, who is the president of

UNCs NAACP chapter.
He was very active at integrating Chapel
Hill as a town more than just the basketball
team. So we were very excited to be involved
with this vigil.
In spite of the rain on Tuesday morning and windy winter weather, Winkfield,
Mangum and McIntosh were pleased with
the turnout for the event.
Mangum said he believes the vigil sheds
light on Smiths work off the court, which is
important due to the multitude of controversial issues involving race on campus and
throughout the country.
I think it shed light to the fact that,
especially with so many events locally and
nationally going on like, locally, trying to
rename Saunders Hall and, nationally, with
events like Ferguson, the deaths of Eric
Garner and Michael Brown, Mangum said.
I felt like its almost calming to know
that we had a person like this who fought
so hard for civil rights at UNC. And since
hes gone now, it would be good to commemorate that.

Housing experts explained

to community members at an
information session at Town
Hall Tuesday that the increase in
housing costs in Chapel Hill has
surpassed the increase in income
during the past 20 years.
The information session was the
second of four that will take place
on the topic of affordable housing.
Dwight Bassett, economic
development officer for the town,
said housing values in Chapel Hill
have grown by 3,117 percent since
1990. During the same time period, incomes have grown by only
332.86 percent, he said.
Bassett said there is a significant unmet demand for affordable housing in the town. Council
member Maria Palmer said she has
seen the effects of the towns lack
of low-cost housing.
I know families of three renting
half of a two-bedroom apartment,
she said. If you are working with
families in poverty, you know that
a lot of people are dealing with
housing by doing things that can
be unhealthy for the family.
Bassett estimated that there is
an unmet need for 10,921 affordable housing units for households
earning 50 to 120 percent of the
median income. He said there
were 23,827 total housing units in
Chapel Hill as of 2010.
In the 1990s, the middle to
lower end of the market was generally well-supported, Bassett
said. In 2010, we see substantial
growth and skewing towards the
upper end of the market.
Demand for affordable housing
generally comes from three groups
of people: millennials, babyboomers and families that have
had difficulty recovering from the
2008 economic crisis, said Robert
Hickey, senior research associate at

affordable housing information
sessions will be held as part of
the Chapel Hill 2020 comprehensive plan. Each session takes

There will be a fourth session on a date that has yet to be

determined.

the National Housing Conference

and Center for Housing Policy.
All of these groups have an
increased demand for smaller and
lower-cost housing, Hickey said.
These different crowds are
competing for the same housing
options.
Hickey said many towns in
America are facing an affordability
crisis, and there are solutions to
the problem that can be implemented through policy decisions.
For example, development
options can be expanded by making publicly owned land available
for affordable housing, rezoning
land to allow mixed-use developments and allowing smaller
homes to be built on smaller lots,
Hickey said.
Other ways of increasing access
to affordable housing include creating strong incentives or requirements for the private market to
build affordable housing, he said.
What I have noticed is that
when some places are upzoning
places, they include significant
incentives for developers to
include affordable housing to get
access to more favorable zoning,
Hickey said.

The Daily Tar Heel

Tunnel of Oppression moves to Union

By Chloe Lackey
Staff Writer

Performing arts meets activism in UNCs sixth annual

Tunnel of Oppression this
week, which will include performances about homelessness.
Tunnel of Oppression,
hosted by the Residence Hall
Administration in the Student
Union, invites students, faculty and community members
every spring to experience an
artistic expression of social
issues. Visitors are immersed
in topics ranging from race to
gender in student-performed
skits and monologues.
This year, Tunnel of
Oppression has partnered
with Carolina Cupboard,
a group that aims to provide food to those in need.
Visitors are encouraged
to bring a canned good to

donate to the organization.

Puja Patel, co-chairwoman of the planning committee, said performing the
stories helped make them
accessible and stick in participants minds.
It brings the topic to life,
Patel said. The stories you
hear on campus become
blurred together.
After visiting, each group is
taken aside to talk for 30 minutes about what they experienced with the guidance of a
trained staff member. Patel
said the reflection time helps
encourage visitors to check out
resources on campus, such as
the Campus Y.
Nick Hatcher, the stage
manager for the event, said
they encourage the actors to
draw from their own experiences when working with the
scripts. Being able to incor-

porate their own spin makes

the performances feel more
real and expands the reach of
their message. Even if a story
was performed last year, a
new actors take on it may put
the performance in an altogether different light, he said.
This is the first year that
Tunnel of Oppression will be
held in the Student Union.
Rick Bradley, the associate
director of the Department
of Housing and Residential
Education, said the move
will foster a greater sense of
community because it will be
easier for students to attend.
It was more in our interest
for access issues, so the event
could be more campus centered, Bradley said.
Bradley said the RHA
wanted the message of
Tunnel of Oppression to
reach a wider audience, and

hosting the tunnel in a residence hall made some think

they were not able to come.
Hosting the tunnel in Cobb
Residence Halls basement
made it inaccessible for those
with disabilities as well,
while the Union gives easy
access to all.
Ajene Robinson-Burris,
the acting coordinator for
Tunnel of Oppression, said she
believes performing arts are
an important form of activism.
She said that the arts
connect everyone, whether
through music, movies or
writing. And the project continues with the hope of creating connections.
This is a more subtle
way of raising your voice,
Robinson-Burris said. Tunnel
opens up a lot of doors.

Sen. Richard Burr touts health care law replacement

By Sam Shaw
Staff Writer

After years of opposing the

Affordable Care Act and organizing more than 50 votes to
repeal it, Republicans are using
their majority in Congress to
push for a replacement.
U.S. Sen. Richard Burr,
R-N.C., is a co-sponsor of
legislation that he describes
as a bicameral Republican
blueprint. The Patient Choice,
Affordability, Responsibility
and Empowerment Act would
keep aspects of the current

health care law it would

allow adults to remain on
their parents insurance plan
until age 26 but it drops the
requirement for Americans to
buy insurance.
The U.S. Supreme Court
will hear arguments related to
the Affordable Care Act this
spring and could overturn significant portions of it, including the individual mandate.
There is a good chance that
Congress will need to pass a
bill this year responding to the
Courts decision, said John
Dinan, political science profes-

sor at Wake Forest University.

He said Republicans are
working on the bill to make
changes to areas of the law the
Supreme Court might object to.
Gary Pearce, a Democratic
analyst, said Republicans now
hold the reins of power in
Congress though the party
doesnt have a large enough
majority to overcome a filibuster or presidential veto.
They can pass pretty much
whatever they want to, he said.
But Im pretty sure itll end up
going down the tubes when it
gets to the White House.

The idea behind the individual insurance mandate was

originally a Republican idea,
Pearce said, because it promotes personal responsibility.
The people who dont
have insurance (taxpayers)
end up paying for their care,
he said.
The Affordable Care Act,
passed in 2010, sought to
remedy this shortcoming and
drive down costs. It requires
Americans to purchase insurance or pay a tax penalty. It
provides subsidies for those
who could not otherwise

afford insurance and funds

expanded Medicaid coverage
in states that will accept it.
As of Friday, 480,000 North
Carolina residents had signed
up for insurance through the
Affordable Care Act. The state
hasnt accepted Medicaid
expansion, though Gov. Pat
McCrory suggested in January
that he would be open to it.
Burr said the Affordable
Care Act has made healthcare
worse because it increased the
weight of bureaucracy.
We can lower costs and
expand access to quality cover-

age and care by empowering

individuals and their families
to make their own health care
decisions, rather than having
the federal government make
those decisions for them, said
Burr in a statement Thursday.
Burr will have to defend his
Senate seat in 2016, and Pearce
said the latest health care proposal was political theater.
Burr is doing exactly what
Tillis did in last years campaign, which is saying Im
against Obama, Pearce said.

WALK-OUT

ELECTIONS

with the Israel a campaign

supported by Washington.
But with this stance came
opposition from students who
do not share the same views.
As a black student, I wanted to make it clear that I did
not agree with something like
this, sophomore Gabrielle
Franklin said.
Senior Olivia Byrd, president of Christians United for
Israel, said she thinks race
might not play the role people
think it does.
Not everything is about
race, Byrd said. A lot of
people think that because
they are people of color, they
have to be anti-Zionism. But
you cant decide something
because of your race.
The students who organized
a walk-out of Washingtons
speech did so with the goal of
showing their disapproval of
his views.
Martin Luther King stood
for all oppressed people,
regardless of race or creed,
Franklin said. We feel that
his words are being twisted to
gain support from the black
community.
UNC Students for Justice in
Palestine is a group comprised
of students of various races and
religious backgrounds. The
group participated in the walkout and led participants to the
Sonja Haynes Stone Center
for a screening of the movie
Al Helm: Martin Luther King
in Palestine, which focused
on Kings support of the
Palestinian people.
King had a dream. We
have our American dream,
but what is the Palestinian
dream? Franklin said. What
can the Palestinian dream be
if they are forced to live in an
oppressive state?
But Tuesdays event became
another discussion that never
was. Byrd said both sides of
the conflict are polarized in
their views, but across-thetable discussions rarely happen
between the two sides due to
their drastic differences.
The issue is pretty much
divided like this room is divided right now, Washington said,
before those participating in
the walk-out left his speech.

Im excited, I am its
one step closer to being student body president, and
thats the ultimate goal,
Summers said.
Summers said that over
the next week, he wants to
convince the Hurston writein voters that he will listen to
them in office.
I think its a powerful statement, I really do.
I think its something that
makes a statement more so
about student government
than any particular student
group on campus, Summers
said after the results were
released. I think it represents the fact that student
government hasnt stood as
a voice for, you know, those
particular individuals that
wrote in Hurston on the
ballot.
Walker said she wanted to
talk directly to the students
that chose to write-in votes and
explain how she wants to help.
What I would like to say
to these students is I appreciate you standing up for your

Its one step closer to

being student body
president, and thats
the ultimate goal.
Houston Summers,
student body president candidate

beliefs, and I hope that in

the next few days that we can
talk and Im here listening,
trying to understand what is
you want, what it is you need,
Walker said.
Brandon Linz was elected
president of the Graduate
and Professional Student
Federation and Ian Ebert
was elected Carolina Athletic
Association president during
Tuesdays election.
The race for Residence
Hall Association President
will be a runoff between
incumbent Taylor Bates and
Grayson Berger.
The duo Ying Lin and

retreats. He said they were

scrupulously organized to have
a bipartisan attendance and
were not intended to persuade
politicians to adopt a particular educational philosophy.
Rizzo said the Hunt
Institute has hosted over 140
legislative representatives from
both political parties over the
last two years and exposed

them to discussion and perspectives on educational issues.

During these retreats, legislators also engage with superintendents, principals and teachers in small settings and watch
demonstration lessons.
The Hunt Institute also
puts on the countrys only
national governors retreat and
publishes reports during the
year to keep legislators up to
date on education issues.
Guillory said these centers

and institutes are distinct, necessary parts of UNCs campus.

Theres a tendency to see
the core of the university
as the classroom and of
course, it is, he said. But at a
public university, the core also
includes instruments to project the power of the university
into the realm of governance
into the realm of scientific
advancement.

at criticizing the institution of
anti-blackness that pervades the
U.S. Lamars line, the blacker
the berry, the sweeter the juice/
the blacker the body, the bigger I shoot deconstructs what
should be regarded as a celebration of blackness and corrupts
this imagery with a grim reality.
Lamar alludes to testimony
given by police held not responsible for the deaths of unarmed
black bodies that uses racially
provocative descriptors to justify
their shooting.
Its such a shame, they may
call me crazy, raps Lamar, in
reference to using stereotypes
to dismiss his perspective, as he
stated in a Billboard Magazine
interview about rioting.
Now, I am not in agreement
with Lamars perspective that
rioting is a product of a lack of
self-love. But I am saying this
conversation must begin and
end within the black community. Insulting one another or
dismissing another person of
colors perspective is a concession to whiteness and greater
evidence of pervasive racism.
The rap itself is deeply written enough to defy comprehensive analysis each line is as
complicated as the previous.
Among my favorites: You vandalize my perception but cant
take style from me/and this is
more than confession. Lamar
touches upon cultural appropriation, a means by which
items of cultural significance
are co-opted for the purpose of
frivolous entertainment. Lamar
will not stand for such an intrusion upon his identity.
There have been some
who would criticize Lamars
third verse for its overtones
of respectability politics.
Although this point is well
taken, there is the contradiction that the plight of the black
community, which includes violence against blacks by blacks,
is a product of whiteness. This
critical tone means Kendricks
diatribe is more of a call to
action than just a rant.
As always, his allusions and
wordplay create complexity
that succeed in both making a
point and eliciting an emotional
response. What better way to
appreciate black lives during
the month of February than by
undermining the unstated and
unconscious project of whiteness to deny blackness in this
racist country?
Each of Lamars three verses
begins with the line, Im the
biggest hypocrite of 2015, referring to either his expanding consciousness or duplicitous role
in anti-blackness. And perhaps
Lamar is a hypocrite. While
proud of his blackness, he realizes that his culture is inextricable
from whiteness. Lamars understanding of hypocrisy is contradictory, as is the definition of
racism. But both are necessary
for understanding black bodies
in this space and the violence
that happens against them.

Two parties for all

Todays Republican
failings on race
arent set in stone.

teven Long, a
member of UNCs
Board of Governors,
recently opined that the
advocacy work of UNCs
Center for Civil Rights was
inherently partisan.
While we disagree with
Longs conclusion, his
mistake is understandable.
Nationally, the Republican
Party fails so completely
to represent or serve the
interests of people of color
that any work supporting
marginalized communities
might well appear to be
partisan activity.
This is a relatively recent

development. As late as
1964, neither Democrats
nor Republicans were discernibly more supportive
of racial equality than the
other on the national level.
Today, 98 percent of
Republican politicians
elected to state-level positions are white, and few
contest that no matter how
unresponsive Democrats
might be toward people of
color, they are still better
than Republicans.
This great sorting out
of the parties by race was
even more pronounced in
North Carolina than it was
nationally. Since the mid1960s, conservative, white
North Carolinians have
left the Democratic Party
to become Republicans.

When asked to explain this

trend, Frank Rouse, former chairman of the state
Republican Party admitted:
Its race in North Carolina.
That is not supposition.
That is fact Folks who
live in suburbia or folks
who have moved to North
Carolina dont understand
it, but it is an absolute fact.
This sordid tale should
comfort conservatives eager
to re-engage with communities of color. America
did not naturally become a
nation dominated by one
party hostile to racial equality and one lukewarm to
it. Politicians and ordinary
voters made and make
decisions that created
this status quo. They should
choose now to improve it.

Upping the ante

Gameday could

playful fanaticism.

round this time of

the year, its hard
not to think about
the impending mens basketball showdown on Feb.
18 against Duke.
But at this moment,
under damp nylon and
collapsible metal poles,
Duke students have no
choice. They await their
golden ticket: admission to the matchup at
Cameron Indoor Stadium.
What might UNC do to
whip its fans into a similar if, perhaps, more
civilized frenzy?

But such a tradition serves
as a vital experience to

That is not to say our fandom isnt suitably intense,

but it does lack a physical
manifestation similar to
tenting aside from hours
of standing and jumping
around and the occasional
rushing of the court.
But these activities
could be done by any old

Any old group of basketball fans we are not. We

an organic, appropriateto-scale tradition that
will preface our matchup

some good.

Keeping minds safe

Campus responses to
mental health issues
run the gamut.

ince Princeton
University first offered
mental health services
to students in 1910, the focus
of those professionals has
been on helping students succeed in the college community. They try to provide a safe
environment for the student
to work out issues of separation from family and developmental and identity issues
and to develop friendships
and love relationships and a
solid sense of self-esteem.
Most students who come
to UNC do well. But there
can be unforeseen hazards
and that is primarily where
student mental health services can play a crucial role in
keeping the student on track.
It might be a broken heart,
a bad grade or a nasty roommate. Or, more seriously, it
might be an unwanted sexual

experience, an eating disorder, substance abuse, a severe
clinical depression or incipient psychotic episode.
Despite the perception that
these incidents are on the rise,
I still believe that the bread
and butter of a college mental
health service is to be available to meet with students
when they become demoralized for whatever reason.
Among the goals of the
therapist in collaboration with
the student is to tease out
how much of the presenting
problems are developmental,
situational or due to underlying psychological/psychiatric
problems. Stress is inevitable
and sometimes helpful, but
when it interferes with the
students ability to work and

play, a visit to Counseling and

Wellness Services can facilitate a return to college life.
With non-judgmental listening, inquiry and working
together in strict confidence,
many students will make a
full return after a handful of
visits. If dysfunction worsens,
a student might be counseled
to take a leave of absence,
with the option to return
when it is reasonable to do so.
Others less troubled can
be referred to a community
clinic or private therapist and
continue in good standing
with the assistance of ongoing psychotherapy. Ideally, an
ancillary role of the mental
health staff is to consult with
administrators and faculty
to assist in identifying and
understanding areas of needless stress on campus.
These problems and others
persist, but I would highlight
how fortunate UNC students
are to have available one of
the best (if somewhat understaffed) mental health services
in the country.

TO THE EDITOR:
Your Feb. 6 editorial, Cut
ties with VF Corp., overlooked the significant steps
the University has taken in
requiring all of its licensees
that make UNC-logoed
products in Bangladesh to
join the Accord.
There is no technicality as stated in your
editorial. VF Corp. is not
subject to the terms of
the Accord because the
corporation has not produced collegiate apparel
in that nation since 2013.
The Universitys Office of
Trademarks and Licensing
works with about 300
licensees that make products with the UNC logo.
Of those, nine produce
UNC-branded apparel in
Bangladesh, and all nine
are already members of
the Accord.
Any new University
licensee or current licensee
up for renewal, sourcing UNC-logoed goods in
Bangladesh, will also be
required to be members of
the Accord.
Before we reached
our decision, we heard
from many people in our
campus community who
support the Accord, including the Licensing Labor
Code Advisory Committee
and Student Action with
Workers. This announcement affirms Carolinas
continued commitment to
worker safety for products
bearing our name.

Integrity at UNC
begins with students
TO THE EDITOR:
I have been intensely
interested in the questions
about UNCs intellectual
integrity as presented in
recent sports scandals, the
question of grade inflation
and a mans recent depiction of a vague Carolina
Way in the (Raleigh) News
& Observer.
It is my belief that if
UNC is to have the ongoing reputation of the
Public Harvard of the
South, that that image
requires almost constant
attention to integrity. It
seems to me that especially students and past
students benefit from such
a reputation and must
assume the often nebulous
role of its protection.
For example, if I were
a student who attended
more than three classes
in a course where attendance is required, I would
report to the professor
another student who fails
to show up as a Failure
in his report(s) to class,
recognizing doing so
as a requirement of the
honor code. Yet, I see the
University allowing similarly irresponsible students to later sue it! When
are the students exhibiting
their integrity?

In the case of grade

inflation at UNC, how
do the medical schools
choose their Morehead and
Reynolds Fellows, when A
is the average grade of students there?
I attended Carolina from
1965-1973 for undergraduate and medical schools
and would like to attach to
this query the standards
and expectations for those
days. I would be quite interested to know how graduate schools are to objectively know the differences
between the average and
the exceptional students
when the average grade
today is as high as it is.
I remember the only
time I had to use the Honor
Code at UNC. A young man
went through the cafeteria
line at Lenoir Hall, picked
up an apple and bit out of
it and then put that apple
back in the cafeteria line.
I told him, Pick up that
apple and pay for it or leave
this University.
He paid for his apple,
saying, I cant believe
you are doing this! But
you see, if we dont have a
meaningful honor code that
demands integrity, Carolina
graduates will be viewed as
the Rebecca Crawleys (as
in Vanity Fair) of our state
and nation, rather than as
our President views Dean
Smith.
The exhibition of
integrity must be a daily
characteristic, one that is
developed unnaturally, and
therefore exceptional, like
the honorable Dean Smith.

Historical context no
excuse for racism
TO THE EDITOR:
Over the past several
weeks, I have engaged in
conversations with people
beyond the student activist community about the
memorialization of racist
men on UNC-Chapel Hills
campus. In print and in
person, I have encountered pleas to understand
the conditions that influenced William Saunders,
who held a leadership
position in the Ku Klux
Klan, and after whom
buildings on our campus
are named.
At the time of his induction, the Klan engaged in
lynching in order to terrorize black people in the
United States South. Let us
be clear: the moral value
of murder has not changed
here in the past century.
Shifts in our sociohistorical context do not
excuse his choice to align
himself with an organization that valued white male
supremacy over the lives of
black men and women.
If you claim to value an
understanding of North
Carolina history, listen with
an open mind to people
who have been erased from
our history textbooks.
Better yet: support movements that are making history on our campus today.
