aturday night, 40,000 people

graced Franklin Street with their
presence and, more importantly,
their costumes. The street, which was
closed to traffic at 8:30 p.m., closed an
hour earlier than the year before in an

attempt to make the event more family
friendly. The early results seem to support the plan; there were no arrests on
Franklin Street this year after more than
a dozen people were arrested or cited at

2014s Homegrown Halloween. I dont
like all the crowds, but its fun to watch,

For ten first-years, fall break provided an opportunity to visit Puerto

Rico as part of a study abroad program initiated by UNC Global.
The trip, a part of the new Global
Take-Off initiative, allows underrepresented students to experience
studying abroad.
There is an increasing awareness
of the character and the composition
of the students who go abroad, said
Louis Prez, a professor of history
who helped organize the trip. Were
looking at social background, cultural background, gender, in-state
and out-of-state students.
Prez said the opportunity to study
abroad particularly in a country
where English is not used allows
students to understand more about a
different culture and what it means to
be an American in the 21st century.

When Alecia Gattis thought

about her son starting kindergarten
in the fall, she felt panicked.
His daycare and preschool
hadnt had a lot of supervision,
Gattis said, and allowed her son,
Melvin Trey Babbs, to wander
from room to room.
Every time I picked him up,
he was in another classroom, or
he was in (the directors) office,
she said.
Gattis was worried this freedom would translate to him not
being able to sit in one place and
learn in kindergarten at Northside
Elementary School. But then, Trey
attended a three-week kindergarten readiness program from the
Family Success Alliance.
I was really, really worried he
would not be able to settle in and
not be in trouble and not be such
a busybody, and that program, it
worked, Gattis said.
Like, wonders.
While Trey attended preschool,
lots of kids in Chapel Hill-Carrboro
City Schools and Orange County
Schools do not. Many also lack
other resources that help them succeed in school.

Success Alliance kindergarten

After many years, age has taken

its toll on Odum Village.
The residence hall will be closing at the end of the 2015-16 school
year.
Rick Bradley, associate director
of housing and residential education, said Odum Village has been
expected to close down for quite
some time.
Odum Village has had a number of dates that have been given
over time as it relates to residential
facilities having sprinkler systems
installed, Bradley said.
It is a requirement for all residence halls to have fire sprinklers.
David Guynn, fire safety and emergency response manager of the
Department of Environment, Health
and Safety, said when Odum Village
was built, fire sprinklers were not a
part of the fire safety code.
There was a shift in building
construction that occurred throughout the second half of the 20th century where sprinklers became much
more common, much more cost
effective, and then, at some point,
they were integrated into the code,
Guynn said.
Bradley said Odum Village was
exempted from the sprinkler rule
because the housing department
was in the process of constructing
a new project that would replace
Odum Village.
When the cost of the building
escalated to a point that we could no
longer afford that construction, then
we were not granted anymore abilities to expand occupancy in Odum,
Bradley said.
Guynn said fire sprinklers are
effective in maintaining fire safety
for residence halls.
It has pretty much a fuse and
that fuse is heat-sensitive. So when
that sprinkler is exposed to heat at
a certain temperature depending on
the sprinkler it will open and then
spray water in the affected area,
Guynn said.
Bradley said 450 students currently live in Odum Village. He said
the housing department is working
to ensure these students will have
their first choice in where they want
to live on-campus for the 2016-17
school year, but it is difficult to
gauge the retention of students that
will remain on campus.
Research shows its unlikely that
people who live in an apartment
style would move back to hall style,
Bradley said.
Cassidy Beegle, a sophomore and
resident in Odum Village, said she
and her fellow residents are receiving a lot of help finding new living
situations for next year.
The campus housing at UNC
has been really great at giving
information and, like, options for
people to move in next year, Beegle
said. Theyre offering first dibs
for Odum people to live in, like,
Morrison super suites and all that
fun stuff.
Even with the help from the housing department, Beegle said most
students she has spoken to plan on
moving off-campus.
I think that Odum has had its
fair share of time here, and its getting a little run down, and I think its
served its purpose pretty well, but
its time for it to go.

Yeti makes its way through local bars

The Great Divide Brewing Companys mascot promoted his Colorado brews
By Burhan Kadibhai
Staff Writer
Only in the Chapel HillCarrboro area can you find a snowape playing video games, drinking
beer and shaking his claws to hiphop music.
This snow-ape is also known as
a Yeti, and he is the mascot of the
Great Divide Brewing Company and
several of their craft brews. Among
these special seasonal brews are
the Espresso Oak Aged Yeti, the
Chocolate Oak Aged Yeti and the
Oatmeal Yeti.
Great Divide Brewing Company
was founded in 1994 in Denver,
Colorado by Brian Dunn.
After five years of traveling
through developing countries, Dunn
said he decided to return to his
home in Colorado and begin home
brewing.
Since the company was founded,
Dunn and his staff have experimented and successfully brewed
many different craft beers, all
inspired by the spirit of the city of
Denver.
Many bars, not only in the Chapel
Hill-Carrboro area, but also the
state, carry Great Divide Brewing
Company beer.
The Yeti took part in the bar crawl
on Friday, which began with a Yeti
Mario Kart Challenge at Beer Study,
a local Carrboro bar.
The Yeti and his entourage then
made their way to Milltown in
Carrboro, where the Yeti indulged in
several beers and appetizers named
in his honor as Yeti Bites.
Tylers Taproom was the last leg of
the bar crawl, with the Yeti showing
his moves during a dance-off.
Tylers had prepared a DJ and a
large dance floor for the Yeti to get
into his groove.
Several people took pictures with
the Yeti as he passed to and from
bars, where he enjoyed several of the
brews named in his honor.
DTH/BEREN SOUTH
Great Divide Brewing Company s mascot, the Yeti, mingles and guest-bartends at Beer Study as part of the Yeti Bar Crawl on Friday.
Zack Wilkinson, the front house

manager of Tylers Taproom, said
this location was the best space for
the dance-off event.
Weve done this Yeti pub crawl
in the past, Wilkinson said. For
beer variety, youre not going to
beat Tylers.
The Yeti competed in the danceoff event at Tylers Taproom and
said he was here to spread the word

about Great Divides craft beer, Yeti
Imperial Stout.
The Yeti had also been to several other cities in North Carolina,
including Raleigh and Durham.
We just like to spread the word
about believing in the Yeti and awesome craft beers, the Yeti said.
He also had some words of advice
for locals.
Dont walk alone in the woods,
the Yeti said. Drink only craft beer,
and nothing is wrong with a little
yak burger once in a while.
Elizabeth Danka, a postdoctoral
researcher at UNC, joined the Yeti
for his bar crawl.
Great Divide has good beer and
you cant say no to a yeti, Danka
said. Hes definitely going to win

the dance-off.
Andrew Monteith, a graduate
student at UNC and Dankas friend,
said he heard about the Yeti and was
excited to see it.
Well definitely come out in the
future.

Bathroom grati paints a IFC community

gendered portrait at UNC kitchen hits barrier
In order to serve hot
food, the IFC must apply
for a special permit.
A May study found men

and women respond to
graffiti differently.
By Alexa Papadopoulos
By Kyley Underhill
Staff Writer
Staff Writer
The subject of graffiti has always

been controversial.
Because of its anonymity, graffiti
produces content that is unique and
sometimes even vulgar.
A study published in A Journal
of Feminist Geography in May
explored the differences between
graffiti written on the walls in mens
and womens restrooms.
Much like many anonymous
spaces, including internet sites, the
unmoderated nature of bathroom
graffiti may undermine the potential for democratic exchange, the
study reads.
It found that graffiti in mens
restrooms were often vulgar and
aggressive, while graffiti in womens
restrooms were supportive and
philosophical.
It also found that men and women
interacted with graffiti differently.
With graffiti that provoked a thread
or conversation, men would respond
to others graffiti with insults, and
women would typically reply to each
other with encouragement.
Many people try to fit graffiti into
the categories of art or vandalism.
Cary Levine, a contemporary art
associate professor at UNC, said
he wouldnt call a drawing on a
bathroom wall art, but he finds it
problematic to draw lines and distinctions in the art world.
It depends on the intention of
the person making it and the effect
of the work itself, Levine said. I

Dey Halls fourth-floor bathroom has an especially decorated stall, complete
with graffiti, quotes, personal statements and drawn-out discussions.
would say that the more artistic

forms of graffiti are those that confront the viewer in a way that makes
the viewer see things differently.
Levine said by nature, graffiti is
illegal, but that doesnt mean that
its not art.
There is a political component
to street art and graffiti that is not
in fine art, Levine said. Its a form
of refusal to follow the rules, to get
consent and permission a refusal
to abide by the rules of private
property.
Levine said street art stems from a
rejection of the world of fine art.
There is something productive
about it that is not necessarily selfserving. You make something for
the public when you make graffiti,
he said.
Taylor Brunson, a UNC student
majoring in art history, said graffiti
is a legitimate form of art.
Graffiti is culturally expressive,
Brunson said. Thats all art is the

manifestation of human culture and
expression.
Brunson, who cites the stencil
art on the outside of the baseball
stadium as one of her favorite pieces
of graffiti, said that the rejection of
graffiti from the art world can be
problematic.
I dont think you can invalidate
graffiti as an art form because it
doesnt qualify as fine art, she said.
Its discrimination against a cultural
expression on the basis of poverty
and race.
Levine said its ultimately a rejection of authority.
In the worst examples, graffiti is
just vandalism. In the best examples,
graffiti can shed light on institutions, like the art world.
At its core, the politics of graffiti
is anarchy.

The Inter-Faith Council is looking to provide more to those who

have less by including a hot meal
service at its Carrboro location.
The IFC is a non-profit and
non-denominational social services
organization that helps the impoverished, hungry and homeless.
Currently, its location in
Carrboro serves as a food pantry
partnering with Farmer Foodshare
and the Interfaith Food Shuttle
to provide fresh produce to lowincome families.
However, the one service the
council cant provide is a hot meal
service.
There isnt a land use (ordinance) that fits with a community
or soup kitchen, said Bethany
Chaney, member of the Carrboro
Board of Aldermen.
This means the IFC has to create a text amendment to the land
use ordinance. If the board votes
to approve the amendment, the
IFC would have to apply for a
permit.
The Chapel Hill location has a
community kitchen, but IFC director Michael Reinke said he wants to
add a kitchen to the pantry.
I suspect there is very strong
community support, Reinke said.
However, a few members of the
Board of Aldermen mentioned
community concerns for allowing a
community kitchen in Carrboro.
There are concerns around
making sure we consider the poten-
tial impact on businesses downtown, said Damon Seils, a member

of the Carrboro Board of Aldermen.
Both Board of Aldermen members Sammy Slade and Chaney
agreed with his sentiments.
All three members had supportive things to say about IFC and the
services it provides.
The IFC has four locations serving different needs and populations
across Orange County.
They also provide emergency
financial assistance to families in
need, utilities help, holiday dinners,
support circles and other services.
My perspective is that you dont
use your land ordinances to keep
good people out of town, Chaney
said.
She went on to say everyone
should be able to enjoy the community no matter what they have.
Seils echoed her sentiments and
said he would be for a land use
ordinance for the kitchen because
IFC is a social service provider.
Reinke said he believes the controversies come down to change
and that the community needs to
go through their processes to accept
this change. He said he hopes the
community will end up supporting
them.
We need support from the community because we are a non-profit
organization, Reinke said. If we
are going to make this vision a reality, it will be through the support of
neighbors and businesses.
The goal of the IFC is to help
people like Juano Brooks, who has
used their services from the food
pantry to utility support.
If you keep stumbling, if you got
some goals, they are there to help,
Brooks said.

Writers kick off National Novel Writing Month with a blast

Participants will
write a 50,000 word
novel in 31 days.
By Benjamin Albano
Staff Writer
Ready, set, write!

The clicking and clacking of frantically typing
fingers filled the Root Cellar
Cafe as a 15 minute writing blast commenced. This
Sunday marked the first day
of National Novel Writing
Month (NaNoWriMo), and
people from all different
walks of life joined to get

started on their novels.
The month-long contest
has one objective: write a
50,000 word novel in 31 days.
Carrboro resident Meagan
Voss organized the kickoff .
Its just a way to get people
to focus, and get them to put
words on the page, Voss said.
Before starting the actual
writing, Voss organized an
exercise in order to get rid
of the critical inner editor
voice that stops most writers
productivity. Writers drew
their inner editor on a notecard, and then tore them up.
They keep criticizing
themselves when theyre writing, and you have to think

about how the creation of
art requires you to go back
to that childlike innocence
where you have no filter, Voss
said. Getting people in that
mindset and forcing them to
just produce is one of the best
things about NaNoWriMo.
Voss has been involved
with NaNoWriMo for six
years. She said the event on
Sunday was well-attended,
with about twice as many
people compared to last year.
Most writers on Sunday
were from Chapel Hill and
Carrboro, with a few UNC
alumni. April Koch graduated

from UNC in 2004.
Our goal is to write 1,667
words a day, so we can get
50,000 words done in 31
days, Koch said. What we
are doing here is encouraging each other to get started.
When you are with other
people, it makes doing something that is this challenging
a lot easier.
Koch, in her third year
writing for NaNoWriMo, is
writing a novel about dragons living secretly in modern
times and interacting with
humans. These dragons can
also shape-shift into humans,
so you never know when or if

you are talking to a dragon.
Its kind of an adventure,
Koch said.
While she is starting her
fantasy adventure novel, others are writing about completely different topics.
My story is about abuse,
and by that I mean the
abuse of parents with their
children, said Ryan Smith,
who graduated from UNC in
2015. You have to be delicate with it, but at the same
time its important. I heard
recently somewhere that you
should write the book you
want to read, and thats what
I am doing.
Smith has been taking part
in the month-long event for
eight years now and has completed his novel on time during four of those years.
The other three years, I
dont think I even crossed
four thousand words I
didnt get very far at all,
Smith said. I would get
behind and wouldnt write
everyday and just give up.
Still, Smith said he is
determined to finish his novel
in 30 days after starting at
midnight last night.

FEATURED ONLINE READER COMMENT

The offense of many seems to trump the
offense of few. This is why the concerns of
statistical minorities often go dismissed.
A Time for Musing
Weve created an environment that creates

respect and understanding of each others
cultures.
Candace King, on Kidzu creating a sense of community in Chapel Hill
Alex Thomas
am a proud Southerner. I
grew up listening to The
Allman Brothers Band
and attending NASCAR races.
Thanks to my dad, I watch more
Georgia Bulldogs football than I
do Tar Heels basketball, knowing the only things worse than
Duke are Auburn and Florida.
And I have also seen my fair
share of Confederate symbols,
from the rebel flag to monuments like our own Silent Sam.
With the flag, it can be seen in
two relatively simple lenses:
Southern pride or pro-slavery.
Personally, I believe the flag
represents the latter, and I
applaud efforts to remove it
from public grounds.
But monuments like Silent
Sam are different. While the
flags meanings are straightforward, the interpretations of
Silent Sam are more complex.
These were on display last
Sunday when a pro-Confederate
group came to campus to support the monument and were
greeted by counter-protesters.
Though the founding of
Silent Sam is steeped in racism,
modern perceptions do not have
the same attitude. For some, the
statue ties both personal and
national pasts with the present,
serving as a window into history.
As a result, many from this side
believe Silent Sam should stay
on campus.
For others, the monument
is the embodiment of oppression, and should be removed,
though it would require
approval from the state beforehand.
While I understand both
arguments, I do not know
which would be best. Picking
one side over the other seems
unfair to not only the opposing side, but also toward the
Universitys history, which
has its fair share of unpleasant moments.
Instead, the best plan at
this moment would be to
hold conversations on Silent
Sams impact. Giving people
the chance to voice their concerns will allow us to better
understand the statues place
on campus and its effects both
on UNC and the greater community. Thankfully, Chancellor
Carol Folt has taken steps to
encourage this from both campus and community members
as the University examines
how it addresses its history.
Yet many in our society fail
to understand disagreement
does not permit crassness. One
example from last weeks protest includes individuals who
became heated with one another with counter-protesters
responding with an onslaught
of profane arguments.
No matter what the issue
is, we need to have conversations without resorting
to screaming and vulgarity.
After all, we are all adults, so
we should act like it.
The South is my home, but
it would be wrong to say it has
overcome all cultural obstacles. However, supporting one
argument over another seems
like too simple of an approach.
While change regarding
Silent Sam will not occur
anytime soon, having inclusive discussions on its future
will allow us to better understand what actions would be
best not only for UNC, but
for Southerners of all backgrounds. It does not mean we
will agree with everyone, but
rather will work together to
better society for everybody.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
All should consider

HB 318 a bad bill
EDITORIAL
Chartering the future

North Carolina
should not expand
charter schools.
ree public education is a core value

in the United
States. It is one of the
essential achievements of
this country and has been
seen as a right for almost
a century. However, the
charter school system has
exploited the public and
hindered traditional public schools from reaching
their full potential.
New charter schools
are being built in North
Carolina. When they
open, they are exempt
from government standards, are allowed to pick
as many or as few students as they want and do
not have to provide transportation to students.
Charters perpetuate
segregation, cater to
affluent white communities and drain money
from local public schools
in the process.
The charter school
system should not be
expanded until the state
can ensure it does not
rob public schools, lowincome areas and minority
communities of both tax
money and educational

opportunities.
Arguments against charters have persisted since
the schools first appeared
in North Carolina in 1996,
but a recent article by UNC
law professor Thomas
Kelley III found that some
charters have been violating
North Carolina nonprofit
law by betraying their role
as charitable organizations and defrauding
taxpayers. The article also
suggests that for-profit
holding companies, like
Roger Bacon Academy, are
making large profits from
owning schools.
Essentially for-profit
schools should not be
allowed to receive scarce
state resources.
Charter school systems
in other states have had
problems that should make
North Carolina policymakers skeptical.
In 2014 the ACLUs
Racial Justice Program
senior staff attorney
Courtney Bowie said
about the charter system
in Delaware, Students of
color and students with
disabilities are not getting
an equal chance to attend
many of the high-performing charter schools.
Even the highly-regard-
ed Success Academy
in New York has been
charged with discriminating against students with
behavioral problems to
boost the appearance of
success. The New York
Times reported that students in grade levels as
low as kindergarten were
targeted for removal due
to behavioral problems.
Instead of dealing with
problems and helping kids,
one of the charter schools
touted as a standard-bearer has abandoned students
who do not conform to
absurd standards.
Legislators have a
responsibility to hold charter schools accountable.
Parents have a responsibility to make sure their understandable desire to ensure
the best possible education
for their own children
doesnt hinder opportunities for others. Everyone
has a responsibility to protect accessible education.
If the problems with
charter schools dont make
their very existence problematic, the state should
stop their spread until it
redefines what it means to
be a nonprofit and what
it means to be an equalopportunity, publiclyfunded institute.

Small but present

Salamanders living
in the state need
better protection.
orth Carolina is
home to over 56
different types
of salamanders, giving
the state one of the most
diverse salamander populations in the world. Some
of these species live in
incredibly small habitats
in remote parts of the
western part of the state.
Sadly, due to deforestation and other anthropogenic causes, populations
are on the decline. Some of
these species uniquely exist
within this state and it is

the job of all living within
its borders, especially policymakers, to protect these
super cool creatures.
One such species is the
green salamander, which
lives in very small pockets in the western part of
the state. This species is
highly reclusive.
The green salamander
is about five inches long
and can live up to 10 years.
It also uses camouflage to
blend into its surroundings.
It is typically nocturnal,
preferring to venture out
during the cooler parts of
each day to look for food.
Despite being listed
as endangered in North
Carolina, there is no federal protection for the
green salamander which
could ultimately lead to
the destruction of their
fragile existence.
A lot can be done to
help not only the green
salamander but all of
North Carolinas wildlife, including standing
against habitat destruction and further pollution
of water supplies.
North Carolina boasts a
very diverse wildlife population, especially in the
western part of the state,
and it would be shame for
that to disappear.

TO THE EDITOR:
For those who dont
care about House Bill 318,
an unquestionably antiimmigrant bill, I have one
question: Why?
Wednesday, Oct. 28,
2015, will be written in my
childrens textbooks as the
day that North Carolina
regressed in its pursuit of
justice. It is the day that
Gov. Pat McCrory signed
HB 318.
This bill is concerning
for several reasons. HB
318 decreases accessibility
to food stamps, imposes
the use of E-Verify on government-contracted businesses, while hypocritically
exempting the agricultural
industry, and ousts sanctuary cities, which are
lenient toward undocumented immigrants.
While this single bill is
detestable, I fear the antiimmigrant trend in North
Carolina more deeply.
Because of our indifference, the bill passed with
insufficient objections.
Yet this is not our worst
misstep. Our indifference
permitted others to foster
anti-immigrant beliefs.
Oppressors win when
the kindhearted are passive. They won when HB
318 passed. But the passive cannot allow this to
continue.
We must reverse this
anti-immigrant trend
through rejecting passivity. We must embrace
righteousness. This means
defending and fighting for
the marginalized, including undocumented immigrants.
We need to host rallies,
sign petitions, and organize
vigils. If the kindhearted
are passive, we allow the
oppressive to win. I am
guilty of this. I did not
fight HB 318 enough. But I
believe that we can reverse
this trend by taking action.
This letter is my personal
commitment to future
action.
I pray others will join
me.

Chancellor has no
options on Silent Sam
TO THE EDITOR:
It doesnt seem to be
widely known on this
campus, but the recentlypassed Cultural History
Artifact Management and
Patriotism Act of 2015
clearly makes it illegal to
remove or relocate Silent
Sam. Specifically, the
law defines an object of
remembrance as a monument, memorial, plaque,
statue, marker or display
of a permanent character
that commemorates an
event, a person or military service that is part
of North Carolinas history, and states that an
object of remembrance
located on public property
may not be permanently

removed.
Under the law, an
object of remembrance
may not even be relocated except for preservation, construction or
elimination of a safety
hazard.
Even then, it can only
go to a place of similar
prominence, honor, visibility, availability and
access, and can never
move to a museum or
cemetery unless it was
originally designed for
that purpose.
Go to www.ncleg.net/
Sessions/2015/Bills/
Senate/PDF/S22v3.pdf for
the full text of the law.
I do not approve of this
law for many reasons, but it
clearly ties the hands of the
chancellor and the trustees.
Those who protest the statue must now take their case
to the General Assembly.

Silent Sam is deeply

rooted in racism
TO THE EDITOR:
Silent Sam is an expression of racism so real, so
undeniable, that I can
literally reach out and
touch it.
The evidence of the
anti-blackness inherent in
the history of the symbol
of the Confederate flag
and statues like Silent
Sam, as well as in the reasons for which the South
seceded, is undeniable.
Any defense of the use of
Confederate symbols that
does not look to address
this association is intellectually dishonest and morally untenable to me.
The statue is a symbol,
as is the act of desecrating it. Symbols are given
power by people, and
when they choose to
ignore some of the meanings and associations
attached to a given symbol
when it is perceived by
other people, they give the
implied statement that
one or more convenientlyselected portions of that
symbols history are more
relevant than the other
elements.
Worse yet, indications
that pro-Confederates
have not examined all
of the history and given
attention only to what
suits their interests (aka
feelings), is tacit abrogation of the rest of the
symbols meaning as a
contested site of cultural
identity.
Ironically then, the
push to oppose the erasure of Southern history is motivated by a
meandering logic that
itself lacks the historical
perspective it so broadly
claims us students to be
lacking.
The University makes a
mockery of itself with its
pretensions to liberalism
and progressiveness while
it actively allows a disquieting racism to persist on its
campus in the year 2015.

Some pick camp over internships Kidzu lets

Students may opt to
be camp counselors
instead of interns.
By Elizabeth Barbour
Staff Writer
Many students feel pressured to find a good summer

internship but some students choose to be summer
camp counselors instead.
Jeff Sackaroff, associate
director of external relations for University Career
Services, said the decision to
be a camp counselor could
be beneficial depending on
the students major.
It depends on where the
student finds the most value
and what they want to do
when they graduate, he said.
Sackaroff said for certain
careers, such as banking,
internships could be more
beneficial, while being a camp
counselor could be helpful
for others, like social work.

However, he said students can
learn skills from different experiences that can benefit any
career they choose to pursue.
First-year Anna Ranson
said she has attended summer
camp since she was a child
and has worked at a YMCA
summer camp for two years.
She said she enjoys camp
because it allows her to positively influence a childs life.
So far, she said she has
received strong support for
her decision to work as a camp
counselor rather than applying
for summer internships.
My parents like that Im
there because I get to have
more fun, Ranson said.
She also said shes formed
strong bonds with her camp
co-workers, many of whom
are fellow UNC students.
It makes another community of people that you
can rely on, Ranson said.
Sophomore Kelly
Mahoney said she has faced

value
Jeff Sackaroff
Associate director of external relations
more adverse reactions,

partially because shes closer
to graduating and having
to find a job. She has spent
seven years as a camper and
three as a counselor.
She said shes learned
many workplace skills as a
counselor, including thinking on her feet, learning how
to get along with every type
of personality and having to
imagine creative solutions.
Mahoney said she is unsure
whether or not she will be a
counselor again. She said she
is taking the advice of her
boss at camp: You should
keep coming back until you
have something better.
Until she finds a better

opportunity that could benefit
her future career, Mahoney
said she hopes to continue
being a counselor. She said she
isnt worried about not having had an internship because
many students her age have
not had one yet either.
Some students gain the
same experience from camp
that they would from an
internship. Junior Eric Royer
is an environmental studies
major who said he plans to
be a science teacher. Though
working as a camp counselor
will help him know how to
deal with children, he said he
doesnt do it for his resume.
No one does camp for the
money, Royer said. You get
paid very, very little.
You do camp because,
in the end, what youre getting out of it is going to be
so much more than you ever
thought you could.

No payment is
required for the first
Sunday of the month.
By Anna Cooke
Staff Writer
At Kidzu Childrens
Museum, being short on
cash isnt a problem.
The museum held a pay
what you can admissions day
Sunday, as it does every first
Sunday of the month. This
has been a regular feature
since relocating to its current space in Chapel Hills
University Place in April.
The pay-what-you-can
admissions was a component
of the museum since the very
beginning, but originally had
funding through a grant.
When the grant ran out, the
museum had to limit its day
that it could offer pay-whatyou-can admissions. But it
still aimed to make its facility
accessible to families in the
community regardless of their
economic background.
Tina Clossick, co-founder
and director of operations at
Kidzu, said the idea behind
the event is to make sure
everyone in the community
can see the space without
money being a restriction.
I think its a really great
way for supporting your
community and supporting
the fact that not everyone
has the benefit to pay to
enjoy everything in the community, Clossick said.
Normal entry fees for
the museum are $7.50 for
non-member adults and
children over 12 months old.
Memberships for a year of
unlimited admission start
at $115 for a family of four.
Clossick said they would
accept someone on their paywhat-you-can admissions
days even if they only had a
penny. However, many people

continue to pay the regular
admissions fee or even more
than the regular entry fee.
Exhibits include The
Makery, which aims at science, technology, engineering,
arts and math learning where
kids can tinker with tools and
create projects under adult
supervision, and the Forest
Theater, where kids can put
on their own productions.
Candace King, spokesperson for Kidzu, said she hopes
the area gains more of a sense
of community from Kidzu.
Chapel Hill is blessed
to have many ethnicities
and backgrounds, she said.
Weve created an environment that creates respect
and understanding of each
others cultures.
Content Truelove, a resident of Raleigh, visited Kidzu
for the first time yesterday
with her son and daughter,
both of whom are 6 years old.
Truelove paid $10 in
admissions with a Groupon.
She said her son especially
loved the Flexible Forest rock
climbing wall and her daughter enjoyed The Makery.
I think they have a lot
of different options for kids
with different skill and age
levels, she said.
Truelove said both of her
children already wanted to
come back to Kidzu with
their cousin next time.
Kidzu has leased their current location for only three
years, so the museum is working with the Chapel Hill and
Carrboro to find a new, permanent location soon.
When asked if the final
location will still have a paywhat-you-can admission day,
Clossick replied, Yes, we will
always continue to have a
day that makes the museum
accessible to everyone.

Mark VanAlstyne

Different day, same problems and the biggest race

of the season so far.
Throughout this season,
the North Carolina mens

teams have struggled to put
together a complete team
effort at races.
Friday was no different.
The mens team placed
ninth and the No. 29
womens team placed
fifth at the ACC Cross

Tallahassee, Fla.
We need to get production

Gilstrap said she hopes

Carrion, an Information

money for the Puerto Rico

Carrion, who is Puerto

Russian jet crash in Egypt

(MCT) CAIRO A tourist
charter jet filled with Russian

crashed Saturday in a remote

There were no survivors
when the St. Petersburgbound Metrojet Airbus A321
suddenly lost altitude and
crashed 23 minutes after
departing Sharm el Sheik, a
Red Sea resort town popular
with Russians seeking sunshine and warm waters.
Officials from Russia and
Egypt immediately launched
an investigation into the cause
of the crash, which could add
another black mark to Russias
spotty aviation safety record
if investigators deem it an
accident. Questions were also
raised over whether Islamist
militants angry at Russias

civil war might have targeted
the craft.

Middle school students visit UNC for Tar Heel Preview Day
By Olivia Browning
Staff Writer
More than 200 male

students from diverse backgrounds flooded UNCs
campus Friday for the second
annual Tar Heel Preview Day.
Students in the Carolina
Millennial Scholars Program
helped develop Tar Heel
Preview Day in order to teach
young males about higher
education.
Marco Barker, director
of the Carolina Millennial
Scholars Program, said when
the Carolina Millennials
program began four years
ago, schools and community

organizations asked people
from the program to visit
their students and talk about
education.
We knew that we didnt
have the capacity to do that for
schools across the area, and so
we began thinking about how
can we create an experience
that does provide some exposure to students in a way that
is cost effective and certainly
efficient, Barker said.
The one-day program specifically targets sixth through
eighth graders, with a majority of the participants coming
from Orange and Durham
counties, said Michael John,

spokesperson for the event.
He said nearly 20 different
schools were represented.
The idea behind Tar Heel
Preview Day is to engage middle-school males early on, to
provide them with access and
exposure and to allow them
the opportunity to experience
Carolina, said Chief Diversity
Officer Taffye Clayton. We
hope they see themselves as
excited and thoughtful about
how they can pursue higher
education.
Students worked with the
School of Medicine to extract
DNA from a strawberry and
were introduced to the academic components of rapping

by the Institute for the Arts
and Humanities.
The idea is for them to
have an experience with a
faculty member because we
think that leaves an important mark on their memory,
Clayton said. Our faculty,
based on their work and their
research, should really excite
the young people.
Student group showcases
gave the middle schoolers an
opportunity to see how culture is celebrated and recognized on campus.
The day ended with a panel
about the path to college

and college life with representatives from the Carolina
Millennial Scholars Program
and admissions on the panel.
This is a very important aspect of the program
because we understand they
may not have that type of
access where they are and
certainly not the access to
Carolina in the way that we
provide it, Barker said.
Middle schoolers who
attended the program are
contacted throughout the
year with information about
high school and other opportunities at UNC and around
the state.
Issues of access and student engagement are critically important, and I think
when you engage and excite
students early on about collegiate experiences that you get
them thinking early on about
their future and about their
aspirations, Clayton said.
We want to inspire students to really pursue their
fullest potential, and I think
as a part of that, higher education is part of the development of the potential of
young people.

Christina Townsend, a

back and help students after
seeing former Miss UNC
Colleen Dalys platform and
its impacts on campus.

is running for Miss UNC to
support Camp Kesem, an
overnight weeklong summer
camp for children whose parents have cancer.
Dorough has been volunteering since she was a child
by helping at homeless shelters and nursing homes. She
attended high school at a
boarding school in Asheville
and volunteered at a nursing home during her time in
school.
The Daily Tar Heel
gently-used professional
clothing for students in financial need. Interested students
will need to fill out an application to be eligible to receive
the clothing.
Townsend said part of the
project would be a professional fair where the clothing would be distributed.
She said other workshops,
such as resume building and
networking, would be available.
When students are having to think about where rent
is coming from and where
their next meal is coming
from, I dont want them to

be freaking out about how
to pay for that blazer for an
interview tomorrow to look
ready to enter the workforce,
Townsend said.
Townsend plans to partner with University Career
Services and the Carolina
Union to implement the project. She plans to provide more
support and exposure to find
professional opportunities.
I want to have a project
that I 100 percent support,
is feasible, and gives back to
UNC students, Townsend
said.
To have the opportunity

to be in this role as Miss
UNC would be a chance to
implement something that
helps so many UNC students
no matter what their background is. Just helping them
in a way that I wish I had
been helped.
Christina is involved in
Project Uplift, Black Student
Movement, the Minority
Student Recruitment
Committee and Carolina
Hispanic Association.
Ive looked forward to
this for a long time, and the
fact that its actually happen-
ing and Ill be walking on

that field while were hopefully beating Duke is surreal,
Townsend said.
At the end of the day its
an honor because my experience at Carolina has been
a roller coaster, and this is
what I have been working
toward with every opportunity that Ive been a part of and
every class that Ive taken,
its brought me here to where
I feel I can represent UNC
and give back to the student
body.
could help me with that.

Bass said his time helping
manage David Marshs student
body president campaign last
spring inspired him to pursue
the Mr. UNC position and
shaped his service project idea.
Even though the campaign was unsuccessful, it
was a really cool experience to
understand the issues that are
facing our campus right now,
he said. One of the issues
I became really passionate
about was mental health and
sexual assault awareness.
Bass service project,
Carolina In My Mind, involves
two overarching goals with five

steps to achieve them. The two
goals are connecting students
with existing mental health
resources on campus and destigmatizing students perspective of mental health disorders.
Bass said the part of his
project he is most excited for
is a coalition of six mental
health organizations on campus that will meet weekly.
I really want this coalition
to be something that transcends my time at Carolina
and makes an impact on our
campus, Bass said.
Some of the projects com-
ponents include adding a mental health unit to the lifetime

fitness curriculum, working
with Rethink: Psychiatric
Illness to create a health
assembly for schools in the
Chapel Hill area and creating
an additional mental health
scene for the interactive theater
performance at first-year orientations.
We have to quite literally
change the culture of the student body as a whole. It has
to be through education and a
bottom-up approach, he said.
Carolina In My Mind has
been endorsed by Embody
Carolina, the National

Alliance on Mental Illness,
the Achordants, Cadence, the
National Panhellenic Council,
UNC Pauper Players and UNC
Admissions Ambassadors.
Bass said his service project
is already making an impact
with students on campus and
other universities who are
reaching out to learn more.
I see this position not as
a popularity contest but as a
role for positive change and I
really want to be the individual who does that, he said.
She said she has always

loved serving other people.
I just like people a lot so
its cool to be able to have
direct service in that regard,
Dorough said. Its been a
part of my life since I was
younger and I guess Ive carried it through to college.
Dorough is a development
coordinator for Camp Kesem
North Carolina.
She is a member of the
Order of the Bell Tower, participates in the Athletes in
Action campus ministry, volunteers with Get Real & Heel
and works with the UNC
Gillings School of Global

Public Health UNC Fitness
Breaks program to provide
exercise classes to service
facility workers at Genome
Science Building before their
shifts begin.
Dorough said her true passion is Camp Kesem. She has
worked there for four years
and hopes to start a scholarship for the UNC-Duke
chapter with the Miss UNC
funds.
She hopes to start chapters
around the county on the
path to building their own
scholarships.
I want to be able to do
something thats going to be
lasting and sustainable but
will serve our kids in a different way, she said.
She said she has been
dreaming of starting the
scholarship fund since she
started working with Camp
Kesem.
Not only is it cool to have
the opportunity to represent
my university at this level in
this capacity, but also represent Camp Kesem, she said.
Psalm 100, UNC
Panhellenic Council, Camp
Kesem of North Carolina and
Tar Heel Voices are endorsing

Dorough.
Dorough said she is most
excited to have her family on
the field with her at homecoming.
She said her dad, an
Auburn University graduate, is buying a Carolina blue
bowtie for the occasion.
Dorough said volunteering has shaped her life for the
better.
Its really taught me the
value of serving other people,
she said.

The Daily Tar Heel
By Sophie Golden
Staff Writer
Elton
Rodgers
Elton Rodgers, a communications studies and

sociology double major from
Windsor, N.C., said he has
looked forward to the opportunity to run for Mr. UNC
since he was a first-year.
I had a leadership position freshmen year through
the Black Student Movement,
and it held me to a higher
standard, he said. Ever
since, Ive wanted to do the
service project for Mr. UNC.
He said he was inspired
Staff Writer
Rachel
McGirt
Rachel McGirt, a transfer

student from Durham, has
only been at UNC for a year
and a half but has already left
her mark on campus.
In addition to playing on
the womens basketball team
and being in the Alpha Kappa
Alpha Sorority Inc., the Miss
UNC candidate has also started a nonprofit organization
with her sister.
Her organization, Healthy
Girls Save the World, is a
nonprofit aimed at teaching
sixth- through ninth-grade
girls, especially those in low-
by Mike Jones, who won Mr.

UNC two years ago.
Rodgers service project,
HEEL Your Mind, aims to
bring awareness to mental
health illnesses.
He said the main component of the project is an
annual festival in which performers, such as a cappella
groups, provide entertainment and educators provide
students with information
about mental illnesses.
Rodgers said his passion
to advocate for mental health
awareness comes from experience with issues of mental
health in his family.

My grandmother, before
she passed, had bipolar disorder and currently my greatuncle has Alzheimers, he said.
I saw my great uncle this past
summer and he didnt know
me at all. It really hit home
and let me know that I have to
bring awareness to others.
His uncles diagnosis
caused Rodgers to want
to break down the stigma
around mental illness for
UNC students.
It let me know that I really
have to bring awareness and
let people know these types of
things before it gets too serious or just let people know

how to deal with it and that its
okay and treat them as normal
UNC students, he said.
Rodgers was also inspired
when he heard Rwenshaun
Miller, a mental health advocate and UNC graduate, speak
at an event last year.
He was diagnosed with
bipolar disorder, and when I
heard him speak about it, it
really moved me, he said.
Rodgers said he hopes the
HEEL Your Mind festival
will become the next big
University event, like Holi
income households, about

healthy bodies, minds and
relationships.
If I could play a positive
part in a young womans
shaping and her molding into
becoming a better person and
having holistic, healthy practices, that just really makes
me happy, McGirt said.
When I was younger, I was
taller than everyone. I was
overweight. I had a little uglyduckling stage, and I just didnt
really think that I was capable
of doing certain things or that
I was beautiful because of the
girl standing next to me.
McGirt said she is running
for Miss UNC to show people
that with enough dedication,

they can achieve anything.
I want to show people
that no matter who you are,
no matter what you do at this
University, anything is possible, she said.
Her project is a branch of
Healthy Girls Save the World
called Tar HEALS, which
stands for Health, Education,
Awareness, Leadership and
Service. The project will be a
community day designed to
educate young girls, parents
and students about healthy
minds, healthy bodies and
healthy relationships.
We are on this beautiful
campus, but there is a com-
munity around us that really

needs help, she said.
McGirt is excited at the
prospect of bringing young
girls in the community to
campus and engaging students in the Healthy Girls
Save the World mission.
I think that people should
vote for me because I am
doing this for a greater purpose, she said.
I want to leave a legacy here
that anything is possible. If you
put your mind and heart into
something, you can get it done.
I want students to be behind
that and support that.

I want everybody to participate in some shape or
form and let it be an annual
event that everybody looks

Rodgers service project has
been endorsed by the Black

I want people to have
conversations that they might
usually feel uncomfortable
talking about. Overall, I just
want to create an inclusive
environment at Carolina.

Skye Westra
Psychology and sociology

double major Skye Westra
has a goal to make the water a
safe place for everyone.
As president of the
Carolina Swim Clinic, Westra
volunteers every Sunday at
Bowman Gray Indoor Pool,
giving free swim lessons to
Spanish-speaking children in
Chapel Hill.
But she wants to do more.
Westra is running for Miss
UNC in an effort to promote
water safety and education
for children in the area.
Yeah, we are hitting the
Hispanic community but it
would be great to get more
kids involved in making sure
that they know how to swim,
she said.
She began thinking about
running for Miss UNC in
September when a friend
considered running and told
her about it.
I was thinking Oh, I
could do something like this,
Westra said. I have a great
project in mind, this would be
awesome to implement.
Westras plans for her
service project are to hold
free classes for third-grade
students in Chapel Hill and
Carrboro schools. Students
would be invited to participate in one of three classes in
the spring. The classes would
go over water safety and give
children who may have never
had swim lessons an opportunity to gain experience in
the water.
I want to have it in April,
when its starting to get
warmer, and kids are probably going to start going to
the pool, Westra said. I want
to make sure theyre safe
and dont feel uncomfortable when their friends are
jumping in the water but they
might not want to, or they
jump in and dont know what
to do next.
Westra said she spoke
with the UNC Aquatics
Director for permission to
use Bowman Gray Pool for
her classes. Westra plans

to find volunteers for her
classes through the Carolina
Swim Clinic.
Westra is a member of
Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority and is active in the
Greek community. UNC
Panhellenic Council officially endorsed Westra.

Back in August, North Carolina

volleyball coach Joe Sagula told
Taylor Leath to be patient. October
would come and she would be a
huge part of the team.
Now November is here and Leath
is on fire.
The redshirt first-year set a new
career high with 15 kills in Sundays
3-1 win over Notre Dame, including
the final kill to seal the second set.
Shes really stepped up, senior
Paige Neuenfeldt said. Shes just
a fiery spirit out there, she really
wants to put the ball down at important times.
Most players start to wear down
as their first season progresses and
the grind of college sports starts to
take its toll. But Leath has obliterated the rookie wall like she obliterates opposing blockers.
Including Sundays match, shes
hit double digit kills in each of the
past four games. All four have been
UNC wins.
Shes starting to turn into a go-to
attacker, Neuenfeldt said. Its been
great to see her evolve as a fierce
competitor for our team.
Leath missed the 2014 season
while continuing to recover from a
torn ACL. While she couldnt join
her teammates on the court, she
took the advice of then-redshirt
senior Chaniel Nelson who also
missed a season due to injury to
heart. Nelson told her to soak up as
much knowledge as she could from
the bench.
With a year to watch and learn,
Leaths ascent has been accelerated
this season.
Although physically the game is
a lot faster, I think mentally I was a
little bit more acclimated, she said.

Redshirt first-year outside hitter Taylor Leath spikes the ball toward Notre Dame on Sunday. Leath has hit double-digit kills in each of UNCs past four games.
Leath says Sagula has also been

key in her ascent. He and the staff
gave her more playing time early in
September to let her push through
the wall early.
Now shes a steady part of the
UNC rotation. Leath and Sagula talk
constantly about how to refine the
young outside hitters game.
My efforts are very concentrated
on certain aspects of my game, and
as one thing comes hell tell me
something new, Leath said. Im
not trying to do anything incredible
or take it all in at one time, Im just

taking it step by step.
With most opponents focusing on
the dominating duo of Neuenfeldt
and senior Victoria McPherson in
the middle, the Tar Heels have had
a need for a dominant outside hitter
all season.
In the game of volleyball when it
comes down to it, pins win games,
middles dont really, Neuenfeldt
said. We can help and we can hold
blocks, but at the end of the game ...
the outsides get the ball.
Leath has helped fill that role for

the Tar Heels. She drops the hammer on opponents with her high vertical and powerful arm. She has 125
kills so far this season good for
the fifth-best mark on the team.
Her breakout has come at just the
right time. Alongside redshirt junior
Taylor Treacy and senior Leigh
Andrew, Leath has played a crucial
role in UNCs 10-2 record in ACC
play, including a 3-1 win against coleader Louisville on Friday.
Her emergence has allowed us to
win, Sagula said.

With eight games left in conference play and still in the hunt for the
ACC title, the Tar Heels hope Leath
can continue her ascent and make
November even better than October
has been.
Shes been consistent, shes
shown up, shes shown she can put
the ball away, Neuenfeldt said. Its
awesome to see and really helpful
looking forward to the future.

Successful senior class secures victory for eld hockey

FIELD HOCKEY
NORTH CAROLINA
OLD DOMINION

The North Carolina field

hockey teams regular season
finale will hardly be remembered for the final score.
With the first round of
the ACC Championship days
away, the No. 3 Tar Heels (152, 4-2 ACC) took care of business with a 5-1 victory over
No. 19 Old Dominion (9-9,
2-3 Big East) on senior day at
Francis E. Henry Stadium.
Despite falling behind early,
UNC battled back behind
first-half goals by sophomores
Gab Major and Sam Night.
And on a day celebrating the
senior class, it was only fitting
for a goal from senior Emily
Wold to ice the contest.
For the teams four
graduating players Rachel
Black, Casey Di Nardo, Nina
Notman and Wold there
were far more important
things than the result.
Im just so impressed by
this senior class and the leadership theyve provided our
team, Coach Karen Shelton
said.
The graduating class has
been key to the success of the
program the past four years.
UNC has reached the Final
Four in each season, winning
75 games over that stretch
including the 2012 ACC
Championship and a share of
the 2014 regular-season title.
Wold said the chemistry
of the team starts with the
senior class.
Black said assimilating
younger players into the team
culture regardless of their
class has contributed to the
Tar Heels success.
It could be anyone who
takes a winning shot, Black
said. Whether it be a freshman or anyone on the team.
And after stepping on their
home field for their final regular season contest, all four
players had mixed feelings
about the day. Di Nardo said
even her dad was emotional.
It was bittersweet, she
said. Its really exciting
because I love playing with
these girls. But it was kind

of sad because it was our last
game here.
But the moment the game
ended, the seniors were
focused on their next task.
Its great what all the girls
do for you and recognize all
the work youve put in ...
Wold said. (But) we know
theres a lot more to come.
On Thursday, UNC faces
Louisville in the first round
of the ACC Championship
in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Shortly after the conference
championship ends, the
NCAA Tournament begins.
Its the second season
now, Shelton said. Theres
no greater way to prepare
for NCAA than the ACC
Championship. Everybody is
good at this point.
All four of the graduating players agreed that while
senior day might be over, each
knows there is much left to do
in their collegiate careers .
It doesnt feel like its
over, Notman said. Were
all so excited about whats to
come in the next three weeks.
