UNCs athletic budget has followed national trends over the last decade, as
revenue and expenditures continue to increase. High-priced hires and stateof-the-art renovations leave little surplus in the budget. To keep pace with the
rising costs of collegiate sports, some colleges including UNC turn to
student fees. Roughly 8 percent of annual revenue comes from fees, and UNC
students now pay more than double what their predecessors 10 years ago paid.

UNCs athletic budget banks on student fees that have doubled in a decade
By Logan Ulrich
Senior Writer

Tune into any TV broadcast of a UNC home football

or basketball game, and you
might recognize the curlyhaired, oft-painted superfan
spearheading the screaming
student section.
Josh Mayo and his hair
part mane, part afro have
become a staple at UNC athletic events. The senior has

attended every home football

and basketball game in his
four years, along with innumerable soccer, volleyball and
womens basketball games.
Hes not the only superfan
to walk the steps of Kenan
Memorial Stadium. Ten
years ago there was probably
another UNC student just
like him.
But unlike his counterpart
from 10 years ago, Mayo and
every other student currently

enrolled at UNC pay a higher

price for the privilege of
attending games.
In 2005, UNC athletics
generated almost $55 million in revenue. By 2015, that
number rose to almost $90
million, mirroring the boom
seen almost universally across
college sports. Yet collectively,
students in 2015 paid two and
a half times more in fees
almost $250 per student per
year than their counter-

parts a decade earlier.

With no end in sight to
ballooning revenues, particularly with the ACCs July
TV deal with ESPN poised to
accelerate profits, students
are shouldering more of the
burden of supporting athletic
programs than ever before.
Like other schools across
the nation, UNC is spending
more. Winning isnt cheap,
and behind the Tar Heels trip
to the ACC Championship

in football and national title

game in basketball are costs
that continue to grow.
To fill in the gaps, UNC
turns to students.
They rake in millions year
after year, but yet they keep
coming back and asking for
support from students, said
Jay Smith, a history professor at UNC and noted critic
of the business of college
sports. And at some point,
doesnt something have to

Panel discusses future of EPA

After Donald Trump was elected president

Nov. 8, some students became worried about
the future of environmental policy.
On Wednesday the forum Post-Election:
The Environmentalist Response took place
in Murphey Hall to discuss the potential
impact of the first hundred days of the
Trump presidency on the environment.
Schuyler Cornell, senior and event
organizer, said this forum was designed to
include issue briefings about what the first
100 days of the presidency would look like,
to discuss the Paris Agreement and to talk
about funding and regulations under the
Environmental Protection Agency.
So basically I got the idea for this event
the days following the election when I was
expecting to go into my classes and have
professors tell me what was going to happen
to the environment, like this thing Ive been
studying for four years, and no one was really
providing any insight on that, she said. So
today we gathered a bunch of information to
give you all a sense of what could happen the
first 100 days of the presidency and just to
see what we should all be worried about.

How we got here

Student fees have been a
tradition for almost as long
as college athletics. At UNC,
athletic fees help pay for students free access to all sporting events, as well as maintaining athletic facilities.

the North Carolina mens basketball team looked
disjointed for 40 minutes in Assembly Hall, dropping its first game of the season in a 76-67 loss to
No. 13 Indiana (5-1).
The No. 3 Tar Heels (7-1) struggled to keep
up from the opening tip, ceding a 17-point lead
to the Hoosiers after the first 10 minutes of
action.
North Carolina recovered out of the halftime
break, but UNC struggled to come closer than
eight points away for the duration of the second
half.
The Tar Heels cut Indianas lead to four with
just under five minutes left before the Hoosiers
pulled away. And while both teams fared similarly
across the box score, Indiana boasted five doubledigit scorers while UNC shot less than 40 percent

Court orders NC General Assembly to redraw state districts

The decision could
force elected officials
into one-year terms.
By Paige Colpo
Staff Writer

North Carolina lawmakers

must redraw legislative districts by March 15 and hold

new elections by the end of

2017, following a federal court
order from a Middle District
Court issued Tuesday.
This decision comes after
an August ruling in which the
courts deemed 9 state Senate
and 19 state House districts to
be unconstitutional under the
Fourteenth Amendment due
to racial gerrymandering.
As a result of this rul-

ing, the court has ordered a

special election to be held in
2017 after the map has been
redrawn. This would mean
lawmakers elected Nov. 8
could potentially be removed
from office, shortening their
original two-year terms.
As the results stand now,
Republicans will have a
74-seat super-majority in the
House and a 35-seat super-

majority in the Senate. Those

figures could change after the
districts are redrawn.
The court suggested the
special election be held at the
same time as municipal elections to increase voter turnout.
While special elections
have costs, those costs pale
in comparison to the injury
caused by allowing citizens to
continue to be represented by

legislators elected pursuant

to a racial gerrymander, the
court order said.
The ruling has proved to be
controversial.
In a joint statement, Rep.
David Lewis, R-Harnett,
and Sen. Bob Rucho,
R-Mecklenburg, opposed the
decision.
This politically-motivated
decision, which would effec-

tively undo the will of millions

of North Carolinians just days
after they cast their ballots, is a
gross overreach that blatantly
disregards the constitutional
guarantee for voters to duly
elect their legislators to biennial terms, the statement said.

thats great to see one of my

of my favorite teams merge
together.
Sutor said that while there
were no immediate plans for
Patterson to come back to the
ballpark, they are currently
working on reaching out to
him.
The Durham Bulls Twitter
account also posted a blog
on Medium that detailed his
time on the team. According
to the post, Patterson was a
Minor League Baseball pitcher for seven seasons, spanning
from 1980 to 1986.
He started with the
Durham Bulls in 1981 and
started 13 games. He had a
2.11 ERA with a 9-0 record
and five complete games.
Apparently, from what Ive
been told, that means he was
good. But of course he was.
If youve seen Gilmore
Girls, this just reaffirms that
hes talented at everything he
does.
Patterson made it to
Triple-A status the highest possible before entering the major leagues. He
started his career with the
Class A Anderson Braves
and ended with the New

Cats Cradle decks the halls to fight against hunger

Delta Son,
Hardworker and Look
Homeward will play.
By Paige Connelly
Staff Writer

Cats Cradle is about to get

a little more jolly.
Tonight the concert venue,
in conjunction with local
church Love Chapel Hill, will
be hosting their concert event,

Christmas at the Cradle.

The event is a benefit to raise
money for TABLE, a local
charity that helps to provide
meals to school-age children.
Christmas at the Cradle
will be held in Cats Cradle
Backroom, and will feature
three local bands: Delta
Son, Hardworker and Lee
Anderson of Look Homeward.
Matt LeRoy, the teaching
pastor at Love Chapel Hill
who helped organize the
event, said the concert is an

event where the community

can come together.
Our passion and dream
for it is that itd be a gift,
LeRoy said. Not a night
about us, but a night about
our town and showing our
love to the community.
LeRoy chose TABLE as the
beneficiary because he said
food is such a central part of
the local culture, yet theres
a significant number of children in the area who still
cant get the meals they need.
The numbers are staggering its one of the things that
grabbed my heart, he said.
We love their mission and we
love what they do, and this was
a chance to partner with them.
Ashton Tippins, the executive director at TABLE, said
theyre honored to be a part of
the event.
Its something that gets us
ready for the season of giving,
she said. It also is going to be
a great benefit to our program,
to help us feed local kids.
Jason Tuggle, vocalist for
Delta Son, said hes excited to
be a part of the benefit.
We just love the music
scene in the area, he
said. Christmas time and
Thanksgiving is all a season
of giving.
The bands are volunteering their time for free, and he
said its a way to interact with
the community and be charitable at the same time.

Jason Tuggle, lead singer of Delta Son, performs at Love Chapel
Hill, a church congregation in Chapel Hill.

Tuggle also is a huge supporter of TABLE, he said,

because he feels theyre an integral resource for local children.
Meeting peoples needs in
a tangible way is something
Im passionate about, he said.
Tuggle said they will be
performing a mix of their
own songs as well as some
Christmas songs.
Sus Long, a UNC graduate, vocalist and guitarist for
Hardworker, said theyll also
be performing Christmas
songs, including an original.
I wrote a song, kind of a
more serious song, about our
present moment, and how
hard it is to look at Christmas

and celebrate Christmas when

I feel like a lot of the people
around me are scared and are
disappointed, she said.
She said they jumped at
the opportunity to perform
because TABLE, and generally
serving the community, aligns
with their beliefs as a band.
We write songs about
incarceration and wealth disparity and racism, she said.
Its important to us that
we write songs about those
things, but that we also come
out and support organizations
that are doing something
about them, like TABLE.

priate amount of food for the size of their

households.
Smaller houses get less (food) and larger
houses get more, but on average each house
gets about three bags of food, Lavergne said.
All three Weaver Street Market locations
will be participating in the Round Up! campaign. According to Camp, on the first day of
the campaign over the course of four hours
they had 900 customers decide to round up.
Its a simple way to get a lot of small donations and they make a large impact if you do it
over time, Camp said. If people continue to
round up their totals for the next five weeks we
believe we could raise over $20,000 to donate.
One of the appeals to doing this campaign
is that it is easy to get customers to donate.
Aaron Pickrell, a customer at Weaver Street
Market, decided to round up his total to help
the campaign.
I like helping people and choosing to round
up was an easy choice with low commitment,
Pickrell said.
Camp said that the Round Up! campaign is
really a test and so far it has been very popular
because of the simplicity for customers. With
the help of the donation, Camp hopes the fresh
produce can help provide more nutritional
options for their partner organization when
they go out and distribute food this holiday
season.

Staff Writer

This holiday season, Weaver Street Market

is asking their customers to round up their
purchases for its Round Up! campaign to help
those in need.
When customers round up their purchases,
they are rounding their total to the nearest dollar value, for example $10.30 to $11.
According to Brenda Camp, Owner Services
Coordinator, the Round Up! campaign will
last until Jan. 3.
These donations go towards our Round
Up! fund, which is our donation to our partner
organizations, Camp said. This particular
campaign is for the food bank, the (Interfaith Council for Social Service) and Orange
Congregations in Missions.
Weaver Street is using the money raised to
purchase fresh produce to donate to each of
their partner groups.
Most of the groups have significant challenges getting fresh produce to their clients,
and we think that resinates with the shoppers
here because they want fresh produce themselves, Camp said. We have the ability to get
fresh produce for significantly reduced prices
because of our connections with local farms
and produce co-ops.
Co-director for the IFC, Kristin Lavergne,

Despite decrease, fight to end HIV is ongoing

Activists unite to end the spread
of HIV on Dec. 1, World AIDS Day.
By Davis McKinney
Staff Writer

Nearly 40,000 people were diagnosed with

HIV in the United States last year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention and the number of new HIV
diagnoses has fallen by 19 percent from 2005
to 2014.
But Dr. David Wohl, a professor at the UNC
School of Medicine, said more work needs to
be done.
The progress that were making is not a
sprint that gets you across a finish line and
then youre done, he said. Its an ongoing
endeavor, its a journey that never ends.
Wohl is the director of the North Carolina
AIDS Training and Education Center, which
teaches HIV prevention methods to medical
professionals.
In 2011, an estimated 1,664 new cases of

HIV were diagnosed in North Carolina the

countrys eighth highest number of diagnoses
that year.
Wohl said treatment is the most important
way to prevent the spread of HIV.
We should get people with HIV in treatment and focus on keeping them in treatment
not just telling them to use condoms, he
said.
Of those nearly 40,000 individuals diagnosed with HIV in 2015, the majority of them
were young men who were sexually active with
other men, Wohl said.
And 43 percent of all new HIV diagnoses in
2013 came from nine states across the South,
including North Carolina, according to a
report from the Southern HIV/AIDS Strategy
Initiative.
Carolyn McAllaster, the director of the
Southern HIV/AIDS Strategy Initiative, said
bringing funding to rural areas affected by the
virus has become a focus.
Weve been pushing for more resources
dedicated to HIV prevention outside of the
big cities, she said. We know our epidemic

in North Carolina is dispersed across a lot of

cities like Durham and in the rural areas of the
state.
Lee Storrow, executive director of the N.C.
AIDS Action Network, said he is concerned
about people who do not know their HIV status.
If you know your status, you can get access
to medication, get your viral load suppressed
and the current science and data shows that
you will not transmit HIV to another individual, he said.
One form of treatment is pre-exposure
prophylaxis, which the CDC calls PrEP, a daily
medication that decreases the probability of
contracting HIV by 92 percent, which Wohl
said is available at UNC Campus Health
Services.
Storrow said the biomedical tools needed to
end HIV are available.
The question is, do we have the political
will to do the things we need to do to make
sure everyone has access to health care and
medication, he said.
Wohl said HIV/AIDS prevention funding

can be political.
In the past, when Republicans control
Congress, we have seen flat or decreased funding for the (National Institutes of Health), and
that translates into people getting infected and
people dying, he said.
McAllaster said she is concerned those living with HIV will lose health care access under
President-elect Donald Trumps administration.
If the Affordable Care Act is replaced,
we hope that it will be replaced so that lowincome people with serious chronic illnesses
will have access to affordable health care, she
said.
Wohl said people who have unprotected
sex with partners whose HIV statuses are
unknown should be aware of treatment and
prevention options.
We need to make sure that every man who
has sex with men knows about PrEP and has
an on-ramp to access and get it if they want
it.

Students explored their implicit bias at Carolina Conversation

Attendees learned how cues
inform social understanding.
By Lorcan Farrell
Staff Writer

Keith Payne, a professor of psychology and

neuroscience, prompted students to recognize their own implicit bias at Wednesdays
Carolina Conversations.
The event began with Rumay Alexander,
the interim chief diversity officer, reminding
everyone why the conversations are held and
why the evenings topic is important.
Sometimes we create implicit biases by the
language we use or the phrases we use or the
rules or the unwritten rules, and so the whole
idea is that if we would bring to consciousness
if we could bring to life some of the implicit
pieces, the better we will be at making strategic
decisions, hiring practices, recruitment, the
better able we are to retain talent and create an
environment where they can flourish, she said.
Payne, who has studied and taught about
implicit bias for 15 years and facilitated
Wednesdays conversation, said in the past five
years the term implicit bias has become more
widespread, but understanding has not spread
at the same rate.
We have lots of misunderstanding and
misconceptions about what implicit bias is,
Payne said. When people talk about implicit
bias, sometimes two people will use the word
to mean two very different things.

Before defining implicit bias, Payne lead a

series of activities to show how the brain forms
connections based on previous experience.
One of the tasks involved looking at a series of
images and then completing a word. The first set
was a collection of dogs followed by the letters
ter with the complete word being terrier. The
second set of images was of several Muslim men.
Once again the letters were ter and while no
one said it out loud, Payne said it was clear that
the word people were thinking was terrorist.
Payne said the activity shows how our
brains categorize things to draw connections.
He said we live in a society that associates
Muslim men with terrorism so our brain categorizes the two things together.
Payne presented statistics and studies
showing how implicit bias affects all aspects
of life from hiring practices to how we perceive children playing. To prove no one is
immune he directed an implicit bias test,
which involved relating traditionally White or
African-American names with words associated with safety or danger.
Payne concluded the conversation by giving examples of how to combat implicit racism. He focused on being patient and taking
time to make decisions as well as controlling

Local businesses react to construction on Rosemary Street

The projects end date has

been delayed, but its still
supposed to finish soon.
By Meghana Srikrishna
Staff Writer

Jacqueline Britton, owner

of Glenns Tailor Shop on East
Rosemary Street, still has pictures
on her phone of water flooding from
the street and into her shop the
week before Thanksgiving.
When they were putting in pipes,
all of the dirt and rock coming from
the walls were washed down the
street and blocked up the drainage all
the way down the street, she said.

A $1.6 million construction

project to repave Rosemary Street,
widen sidewalks, install new LED
street lights and replace the gutters
was supposed to end Nov. 23. The
date was then pushed back to after
Thanksgiving, with construction
picking up again on Nov. 28.
Several local businesses on and
around Rosemary Street have found
the construction inconvenient,
including Britton.
Some days it was just awful.
Some of my customers could not get
in and out of my shop because of the
sidewalk construction. Some days I
worked and nobody even came, she
said.
Britton said she was given a
memo toward the beginning of the

summer outlining the construction

plan and tentative end date, but it
was not helpful because her business
was still negatively impacted.
The sidewalks had such big,
large gaps in it. You would have had
to be 20 feet tall to jump those sidewalks and get inside, she said. The
city should accommodate everyone
for lost wages.
Mandey Brown, owner of both
Imbibe Taproom and Zogs Bar on
Henderson Street, said she was not
given prior notice before the construction started.
I dont think that the traffic is
being directed very well and parking
was blocked on Henderson Street,
she said. That being said, Im not
angry about it. I get it.

Construction is still in progress

at the end of Rosemary Street, right
outside Tru Deli & Wine. General
Manager Joseph Pietrafesa said
there have been a few minor inconveniences, but nothing too serious.
It was fine during the summer
because students were gone anyways,
he said. I dont think Tru is really
hurt by parking issues but it is hard
for people to get around outside. I
know the noise and dust is something
customers have mentioned.
Because the construction often
moved along Rosemary Street,
Pietrafesa said Tru had issues with
deliveries and supplies.
The only thing that really hurt
was that some of our delivery trucks
had trouble delivering stuff to us, he

said. Our back entrance for coolers

and stuff is in the back of Rosemary
Street so they couldnt park there
like they normally do.
Town officials have not released
a specific end date for the construction yet. Chapel Hill Streets
Supervisor Greg Ling said the
majority of construction is finished,
with just a few paving marks left.
For now, businesses affected hope
the construction will end soon.
Once its done, itll be great,
Brown said. Im excited about all
the changes on Rosemary Street,
but I need better communication. It
has sucked, but I understand why it
needs to be done.

NUMBERS

however. While the business

of college sports has grown
more and more lucrative, particularly in the past decade,
expenses have risen at virtually the same rate as profits.
According to a Washington
Post analysis of financial
reports from 2004 and 2014
submitted to the NCAA by
48 schools in the Power
Five conferences, combined
revenue for the schools rose
from $2.7 billion to $4.5 billion. The 10-year increase in
expenses was virtually the
same, and that trend is mirrored at UNC.
If weve had any surplus
bottom line, its not been that
significant, said Martina
Ballen, chief financial officer
for UNC athletics.
Student fees made up
around 8 percent of UNCs
athletic revenue in 2015. With
the Universitys razor-thin

decision could threaten the

This is great news, he said.
North Carolina is a thor-

profit margin, UNC would

be solidly in the red without
student fees.
We have always tried
to look at student fees as a
last resort, Ballen said. We
really try to look at what
other sources or ways we
can impact revenue to grow
revenue. And also to look on
the other side, where we can
contain or cut expenses.
The bulk of the increase
in UNCs student athletic
fees comes from a $150 hike
between 2005 and 2007. The
University raised the fee 150
percent in exchange for the
athletic department returning
the 25 percent of trademark
and licensing revenue it had
previously received. The
concession was well worth it
for the athletic department,
whose share of that trademark and licensing would
have totaled less than $1 million in 2013 the same year
it made nearly $2.5 million in
student fees.

The justification for the fee

was to increase salaries for
UNCs Olympic sports coaches, who at the time ranked in
the bottom third of the ACC in
salary, and to pay for renovations to Carmichael Arena.
Many schools around
the country follow a similar
model. But several schools
dont charge student fees. Out
of the nearly $150 million
in revenue the University of
Alabama made in 2015, none
of that came from student
fees. Students at Kansas State
University currently pay a
little over $500,000 in fees
roughly $20 per student
but Athletic Director John
Currie plans to phase out student fees by 2020.
Neither school offers free
admission to both football
and basketball games like
UNC, but students can buy
tickets or season passes at
a discounted rate. That lets
students who arent as interested in athletics or attending

games off the hook for paying

for them. While Mayo has
certainly gotten his moneys
worth out of his fee, other
students who never attended
a game helped foot his bill.
Hed be in the front row of the
student section each Saturday
even if he had to pay.
It might have deterred me
coming in (to UNC), Mayo
said. Now that Im involved
and have really gotten passionate about it, theres no
cost that would deter me
from going to games.

Jay Smith has looked a lot

at college sports in the past
several years. He co-authored
a book called Cheated with
Mary Willingham, one of the
whistleblowers of UNCs fake
classes, that examines what
happens when education isnt
first priority for universities.
Our athletic departments
in this country run profes-

sional commercial enterprises, Smith said. That

means that theyre driven by
imperatives that are specific
to professional enterprises.
Theyve got to win.
In pursuit of that goal,
athletic departments justify
spending gobs of money.
Coaching salaries at UNC
grew from $17 million in
2005 to $31 million in 2015.
That includes hiring two
new, high-priced head coaches in Butch Davis and Larry
Fedora with the purpose of
rebuilding the football program along with firing
Davis and extending Fedoras
contract.
Facilities costs have also
more than doubled in the past
decade as the school seeks
to attract recruits. Its a selfperpetuating cycle, as each
school is constantly looking
to reset the bar in the college
sports arms race, making
UNCs new wall of Nike Air
Jordan shoes in the mens

basketball locker room seem

like a justifiable expense.
Theyre playing in a
professional market where
thats what theyve got to
pay coaches, and thats what
theyve got to do to recruit,
and thats the type of facility that they have to have in
place, Smith said.
For UNC, that investment
has paid off in some ways.
Just in the past 12 months,
the football team had a shot
at its first ACC championship
since 1980, the basketball
team played in the national
title game and numerous
Olympic sport teams competed in or won national titles.
In 2016, the NCAA and the
University also continued to
deal with the fallout from a
long-running scheme of fake
classes to keep athletes eligible and on the field.
Thats the cost of playing
the game.

if enough of us do it, it will,
he said.
Lexi Valenti, vice chairperson of the environmental
affairs committee, said she
wanted everyone to share their

ideas, grievances and concerns

and come together as a unit.
I want to turn our current situation around because
it is possible and I care but
Im only one voice, she said.

Blackburn said he wanted
to hear from students by
allowing them to write on the

ries. He said after the briefings there would be a talk on

the path the organizers think
they see for the environment.

half. North Carolinas four

frontcourt players Kennedy
Meeks, Isaiah Hicks, Tony
Bradley and Luke Maye
combined for 10 points in the
opening period, as Indiana
built a 41-29 lead heading
into the break.
By the time the Tar Heels
big men got going, the
Hoosiers held a comfortable
lead. Late in the contest,
UNCs top post players succumbed to foul trouble and

struggled to keep Indiana

from scoring inside.

Kentucky looming

The Tar Heels most

dependable scorer was anything but that on Wednesday.
Joel Berry who entered
the game averaging 17.1 points
per contest went 1-for-6
in the first half and didnt
look much better in the second. The junior point guard

finished with eight points on

3-of-13 shooting, including
1-for-6 from the 3-point line.
With a neutralized frontcourt, North Carolina needed
Berry to steer the ship when
Indiana seized control. And
while Justin Jackson carried
the scoring load with a gamehigh 21 points, desperate
3-point attempts from him
and Berry late in the game
werent enough to match the
Hoosiers offensive attack.

North Carolina has earned

its place among elite company
through the first month of
the season, even outpacing
its runner-up predecessors at
this point last year.
But a loss to the topranked Wildcats would give
the Tar Heels losses in the two
toughest tests of their nonconference schedule before a
brutal ACC slate.

oughly gerrymandered state,

and this court order is going to
relieve some of that pressure.
Bob Phillips, executive
director of Common Cause
North Carolina, said the ruling could increase the competitiveness of state legislative

elections. He said nearly 90

percent of the 170 members
of the North Carolina General
Assembly run uncontested or
win their race by double-digit
margins.
Perhaps out of this, well
get districts that are more

competitive, and that would

be a good thing, he said.
Elliot Engstrom, a fellow
at Elon Law School, said gerrymandering is not unconstitutional.
Its perfectly fine to gerrymander in order to bolster your

political partys chance of winning an election, he said. It is

not okay to gerrymander using
race, and thats what this whole
thing is about.
The ruling is currently
being appealed to the United
States Supreme Court.

Berry disappears

After drawing praise from

many as the best team in

Restaurants give back to refugees

Two restaurants
hosted events to help
assimilate refugees.
By Savannah Britt
Staff Writer

The Chapel Hill community and Syrian refugees

are coming together through
fundraising events put on by
local restaurants this holiday
season.
Jamil Kadoura, owner
of Mediterranean Deli, and
Vimala Rajendran, owner of
Vimalas Curryblossom Cafe
both immigrants to the
United States have opened
their restaurant doors to refugees in the area.
The idea was started by
Jamils incredible kindness
and generosity and then other
people in the community who
also know the Syrian families
and wanted to reach out and
provide assistance in any
way they can, said Angela
McChesney, a teacher for
some of the refugee kids.
On Tuesday night,
Mediterranean Deli held an
event to support and raise
money for refugee families
who have lost everything to
the Syrian conflict. Kadoura

shared his motivation for

hosting the event, which also
featured a buffet, open bar
and silent auction.
The main thing to achieve
is helping these people and
getting the community
together, Kadoura said. We
need to come together here
and everywhere in the United
States to say we are all alike,
we are all Americans.
Kadoura said that it
shouldnt matter what color or
religion people are, the community should come together
to fight racism. Kadoura lived
in a refugee camp during
the Israeli War and said the
refugee families hold a special
place in his heart.
Rather than just raising
money and giving it to the
refugee families, the event
gave them the opportunity to
actually meet locals and see
that they are welcomed in the
community.
Any way that I can extend
myself beyond my usual limits and offer my generosity,
empathy and friendship to
people who are struggling and
add beauty and culture to our
community, Im in favor of
it, said Chapel Hill resident
Paula Craige, who attended
the fundraiser at Med Deli.
Another Chapel Hill resi-

dent, Corrie Wiedmann, said

she brought her kids to the
fundraiser because she wanted them to see that there were
other kids just like them from
different countries.
The benefit night was a huge
success with over 300 people
filling the restaurant and most
attendees had an overwhelmingly positive response.
It took a lot of work to do
this but Im going to go home
tonight and just feel like a
million dollars that this has
been a success, Kadoura said.
According to the
Department of States
Refugee Processing Center,
North Carolina is one of the
top ten states for the placement of Syrian refugees, and
resettled 467 people as of
September.
On Sunday night,
Rajendran offered a free buffet at Vimalas with a special
invitation to refugees. She said
she wanted it to be known as,
Global Neighbors Day, with
the purpose of celebrating cultures around the world.
The idea came about
because we are all immigrants, everyone. In this day
and age this is the time to be
inclusive, Rajendran said.
The fellowship dinner
included music from the band

Mediterranean Deli owner Jamil Kadoura laughs with a guest at the dinner and silent auction event
in support of Syrian refugees on Tuesday Night at the Mediterranean Deli.

Southern Routes, kids art

activities and the donation of
warm coats.
Rajendran said she believes
in radical hospitality and
crazy generosity. She plans

to hold similar events in the

future, including a welcome
home meal on Jan. 1 to continue to build relationships
with the refugees.
The response from the

community was overwhelmingly sweet, joyful and welcoming, Rajendran said. Everyone
came wanting to help.

Wilson Library names new special collections librarian

By Charlotte Harris
Staff Writer

Maria Estorino was named

the new director of the Louis
Round Wilson Library and
associate University librarian for special collections on
Monday.
Estorino said she is enthusiastic about starting her
new role at Wilson Library in
January.
Wilson Library presents
a unique mix of deep and
historic collections, a knowledgeable and committed
staff and a University with a
long history of public service
and trust, Estorino said in a

Maria
Estorino will
begin her new
position as
special collections librarian
on Jan. 1 at
Wilson Library
statement.
I look forward to working
with the Wilson team and
with the community so that,
together, we can set a collaborative and inclusive course
for special collections in the
21st century.
The Wilson Special
Collections Library, which
Estorino will be heading,

holds over 800,000 books,

300,000 rare and unique
items and an expansive
collection of manuscripts,
films, photographs and artifacts.
Judy Panitch, spokesperson
for UNC Libraries, said she
has high hopes for Estorinos
impact on Wilson Librarys
special collections.
Our special collections
here are really an extraordinary treasure and resource
for the University and for the
world, Panitch said.
Continuing to make them
ever stronger and ever more
available for research and for
teaching is going to be one of

Need your own place

to stretch out?

the things shes going to be

very focused on.
Carol Hunter, deputy
University librarian, was
the chairperson of the
search committee that hired
Estorino. Hunter said the
committee was drawn to
Estorino because of her communication skills and passion.
She was passionate and
knowledgeable about her
field, Hunter said.
She was a wonderful communicator with various constituent groups, which is very
important on the University
campus. We have students,
faculty, staff and a commu-

nity at large. Wilson Library

is such a strong library, and
so we wanted someone with
those qualifications at the
helm.
Hunter said Estorino will
bring a variety of skills and
knowledge to the job.
I think she brings all the
expertise that we would need
as we move forward and I
think we found in her just an
exciting and, as I said before,
inspirational candidate.
Estorino will manage
Wilson Librarys budget and
staff, create strategy, advocate for special collections
and work to enhance the
building.

She will also be a member of the UNC Librarys

Administrative Council and
the leadership team under the
University librarian.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

FEATURED ONLINE READER COMMENT

Alison Krug

am considering purchasing Spotify Premium

so I can choose the
soundtrack to my own inevitable murder.
I walk home late a lot. After
a long night of editing in the
basement of the journalism
school, I brace myself against
the cold of the night, pop in my
headphones and put on a playlist of carefully curated songs.
Each song is hand picked
so that if I, on my short trek
home, am horrifically murdered (Or not horrifically. The
degree of horror isnt really
the point here.), it wont be too
embarrassing when Im found
by a passing jogger and/or
my murderer returning to the
scene of the crime to hide in
plain sight.
Because I dont want to be
known as the Tubthumping
Murder Girl.
Tubthumping is a 1997
rock song from British band
Chumbawamba off the album
Tubthumper.
If I am murdered while listening to Tubthumping, this
column wont matter. My body
of professional work wont
matter. The plays Ive painstakingly written, the short stories Ive meticulously crafted,
the satirical advice column
I wrote between classes on
Tuesday mornings theyll all
be forgotten by the headlines.
My identity will dissolve to
this singular moment and this
breakaway pop-rock single.
Tubthumping (Remix)
was released in 2003 by
The Flaming Lips and Dave
Fridmann. Im not sure if
it would be better, worse or
ambivalent if I were to become
the Tubthumping (Remix)
Murder Girl.
I can foresee the ledes of the
front page OK, downpage
front OK, inside page
OK, online-only listicle stories.
She got knocked down, but
she didnt get up again.
Tubthumping was
Chumbawambas most successful single, peaking at No. 6 on
the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Its
prominence in my murder will
undoubtedly drive sales and
lend to a second renaissance of
the song, so at least some good
will come out of this.
So I listen to my safe playlist, full of Gregorian chants
and Josh Groban singles. But
every so often, I find my way
back on my normal playlists. So, like, a few reasonable
questions might be, How
many playlists do you have
Tubthumping on? And also,
Why cant you wait until you
get home to listen to it? And
the answers are More than
youd think but fewer than Id
prefer, and Life is too short to
listen to only the music youd
want to be listening to when
you are found in a sewer!
So Im left to choose between
my curated safe music and
the music I like. Or paying
for Spotify Premium and the
ability to quickly hop over to
another song so I can be known
as something Id prefer, like the
Gloria Estefan and the Miami
Sound Machine present On
Your Feet! The Musical The
Story of Gloria and Emilio
Estefan Murder Girl.
Or, you know, the town of
Chapel Hill could invest in a
few more street lamps so the
feelings of imminent doom on
late-night walks home would
subside a bit. Either would
work.

Get women in the box

Sports need more
women analyzing
sports.

exism in sports
is not a secret.
Opportunities
are scarce even in the
journalism world. Often
when reporting positions
become available, women
are relegated to the sidelines.
While women have
seen an uptick in representation over the past
couple of decades, women
are not visible in the
sports analysis and commentary that happens in
the booths.
The women who report
from the sidelines, often

highly qualified, are generally judged on their

looks rather than their
reporting. Just Google
female sports reporters and you find articles
entitled 40 Hottest
Female Sports Reporters.
Or look at Drakes creepy
treatment of Doris Burke,
whose face he plastered
on the t-shirt he wore to a
Raptors game.
But things are beginning to change. Women
increasingly are participating in the analysis of
sports rather than just
sideline interviews.
Heather Dinich, a college football reporter for
ESPN on several programs, is a great example
of a rising star in the

sports analysis world.

While her success continues to grow, her presence
on panels and in podcasts
has met mixed reactions.
While Dinich herself
encourages female reporters to brush off sexist comments and flirting from
players and team staff,
some fans have responded
with vitriol to her presence in the commentators
box.
Still, we applaud ESPN
for promoting a woman
based on her credentials and not holding
her back based on sexist
responses. We hope to
hear her thoughts, and
the thoughts of other nonmen, on UNC sports in
the future.

An olive branch to CR
UNCs Republicans
need to disavow
the President-elect.

his year, the College

Republicans
decided to neither
endorse nor disavow the
Republican nominee,
Donald Trump. This was
somewhat understandable to many of us; we
would find it impossible
to endorse anyone with
any affiliation to us who
assaulted women or
engaged in disrespectful
rhetoric as Trump did.
However, by refusing
to disavow Trump, they
have set themselves up in
a similar position to many
national Republicans

but without the private

power of congressional
negotiations to influence
Trump for the better.
We recognize now in a
post-election world, kind,
thoughtful, principled
Republican students have
the chance to be some of
the strongest and most
influential young voices of
opposition to Trump.
We hope the College
Republicans will revert
back to their previous statement on the
President-elects egregious
disrespect for women and
will become a principled
voice of dissent.
It is no secret that this
board has historically disagreed with the College
Republicans politics. Yet

we genuinely ask that

members of the College
Republicans who see the
dangers of a Trump presidency continue to hold
him accountable.
We hope that our fellow
Tar Heels in this organization will stand for a more
principled, virtuous conservatism than this, especially
since theyre the future of
the Republican party. As an
ideological college group,
there is no reason they cannot speak openly.
If our democracy is to
properly function, it is
imperative that the more
moderate Republicans
are able to steer the party
away from the hateful,
meme-filled direction that
it veered toward in 2016.

Shorts in December

Carolina Review

We would like to sincerely

thank UNC for giving us a
week between
Thanksgiving
break and finals
this year. Last
year, the stress
that directly followed a
blissful handful of days
spent with families and
food was like a slap to the
face. At least this time we
get to space out our postbreak cramming and crying.

Nothing says tis the season

like 70-degree weather.
Maybe Al Gore
was onto something if only
we didnt have a
president-elect
who wasnt threatening to
repeal most environmental
protections! Unseasonably
warm weather is nothing
new. A head of the EPA who
doesnt believe in global
warming might be.

There is going to be a special election in 2017, which

is great news.
The Democrats
have another
chance to win
seats in the
General Assembly, but it
also means we must suffer
through an entire round
of political advertisements
and debates. 2016: the year
that is seemingly never going to come to an end.

TO THE EDITOR:
This morning I was disturbed to see that someone
had used a whiteboard in
the Undergraduate Library
to advertise a neo-Nazi
website.
Responding to a survey question about which
newspapers they read,
someone wrote this websites name.
I will not repeat that
name because I do not
want to give it additional
free advertising.
To be clear, I am not
simply labeling it Nazi propaganda because I disagree
with it. It glorifies Hitler
and promotes a race war.
I notified the library
staff, who agreed to erase
the whiteboard, but it did
not feel like enough.
Since at least one of our
fellow students thinks a
neo-Nazi website is a valid
source of news, it is worth
considering how Nazism
draws people in and why
you should reject it.
Here is how Nazism
works when you feel
alienated and isolated, it
whispers reassuringly that
your failures are not your
own. It gives you an easilyidentifiable target, then
presents that target as a
powerful global conspiracy.
Conveniently, you can
destroy this powerful conspiracy by attacking the
most vulnerable members
of society.
Nazism lets you imagine
yourself as a misunderstood
victim while you harass,
beat or even kill innocent
people.
It tells you youre
reclaiming your power, but
all it makes you is a coward.
It makes you complicit in
hate crimes.
It asks you to threaten
other peoples safety and
even their lives and all
you get in return is a perverted sense of pride.

History

Help bicyclists, use

the Dutch reach
TO THE EDITOR:
Bicycling can be dangerous, and for many cyclists
its not a matter of if they
will crash, but when.
According to the Centers
for Disease Control and
Prevention, cyclists face a
higher risk of crash-related
injury and death than drivers in motor vehicles.
North Carolina state
law (N.C. general statute
20-146(b)) requires bicyclists traveling slower than
traffic to ride close as is
practicable to the right
side of the road, which can
put cyclists in a dangerous
position the door zone.
Dooring can seriously injury or even kill a cyclist.
Cyclists dont want to
be in the door zone, and
drivers dont want to door
cyclists, but current road
layouts make it seem
unavoidable.

There are proposed

solutions including infrastructure changes, but these
would cost a significant
amount of time and money.
However, there is something you could start doing
today to prevent dooring
that wont cost a thing
open your door with your
far hand.
This is a move popularized in the Netherlands that
(Americans) have taken to
calling the Dutch Reach.
This simple change of
using your far hand to
open a car door has a massive effect on safety simply
because it forces you to take
a look at the road behind
you where you can see and
react to a coming cyclist.
So next time before
youre getting out of your
car, as you double-check
that you have your keys/
wallet/cellphone/purse,
take a moment and reach
with your far hand.

Musings from a field

trip to Cherokee, N.C.
TO THE EDITOR:
Ben Frey, the American
studies professor who runs
the Cherokee language
program on campus, took
a small group of Cherokeelanguage students up to
the reservation in western
North Carolina for the
104th annual Cherokee
Indian Fair.
Besides visiting the fair,
the trip took us to Judaculla
rock (an ancient inscription
engraved on a large boulder), Nikwasi (a historical Cherokee town off the
reservation), Oconaluftee
Islands Park (a park in the
center of town) and many
other important places in
the area.
One especially important
part of the trip was a visit to
Kituwah, the ancient town
believed to be the place
of origin for the Cherokee
people.
We visited it with Tom
Belt, a Cherokee professor at Western Carolina
University, who gave a
heartfelt address on the
importance of the place.
We participated in a class
at the Cherokee-language
elementary school, New
Kituwah Academy. Also, we
were able to see a stickball
game between the Wolf
Clan and Big Cove..
The group was small,
only six students, but this
gave the trip an intimacy
that allowed us to have
many important conversations about Cherokee
heritage, linguistics, race,
colonialism and modern
Cherokee society that we
could not have had with a
larger group.
