Senior writer
RALEIGH — After a competi-
tive 10-minute start by the North
Carolina women’s basketball team
against N.C. State on Monday, the
No. 13 Tar Heels’ defense collapsed
in the paint.

lowed by a pair of back-to-back
3-pointers quickly turned into a

“I thought we had people driving
at the right time,” N.C. State coach
Kellie Harper said. “I thought we
kicked at the right time, we made
shots and we got to the free-throw
line. That was huge — we were
very aggressive.”
Although junior Laura
Broomfield battled for a career-high
18 rebounds in her double-double
performance, the rest of North
Carolina’s defense was smothered
by N.C. State’s offensive pressure.
An exposed perimeter and wide-
open jumpers gave the Wolfpack
momentum to build a 12-point

H 55, L 31 By Paula Seligson
Staff Writer
In a particularly venomous student election
season, it came as no surprise that some stu-
Wednesday’s weather dents, disenchanted by the pool of candidates,
turned to their imaginations.
Just Serbian For them, the antidote was laughter — in the
H 55, L 32 form of a write-in vote.
Write-in vote-getters included Brooklyn
Stephens’ horse, “none of them are adequate”
and Steve Holt, the perennial high school student

opinion.............................. 10 Phillips, chairman of the Board of Elections.
“Board of Elections always likes to take a
look and see what the write-in votes are,” he
said. “They provide a little bit of humor in our
vote tabulations.”
He cited his favorite write-in this year as a
vote for “hosseni mubarak (i hear he needs a
new job)” in the race to fill the District 6 seat in
Student Congress.
Other write-ins included Optimus Prime,
Winnie the Pooh, Batman, “end the tyranny of
the undergraduates!” and “nachos” followed by
64 exclamation points.
Of the 7,105 votes for student body president,
about 4.3 percent were write-ins, marking a 59
percent increase from last year’s 2.7 percent.
“The reason may be some frustration with
the student body elections,” Phillips said, add-
ing that he can’t pinpoint a specific cause.
Last year’s satirical candidate Nash Keune
received six write-in votes, and his makeshift
narwhal castle received one.
“I mean Jesus got only two votes, so I guess
that I’m three times as electable as Jesus,”
Keune said. “I think (Darth) Vader got two
votes, so I’m doing pretty well.”
Keune said this year’s election was “ridicu-
lous,” and that the main purpose of his cam-
paign was to be funny and to have fun.
“I wish somebody could have taken part in
another satirical campaign. There was so much
to parody this year,” he said.
But Phillips said write-in votes can be a seri-

The proposal included a Career
and College Promise program,
which would allow juniors and
seniors in high school who main-
tain a B average to earn two years of
career training or a two-year com-
munity college degree free of cost.
“I think it will be a challenge
to handle the numbers,” said
Gary Green, president of Forsyth
Technical Community College.
He said he is concerned about
the possible increase in enrollment
because it would not be completely
covered by the state.

Short story writer Amy Hempel
will read from her work March 16
in the Carroll Hall auditorium.
Included in her first collection,
“Reasons to Live,” is the story, “In
the Cemetery Where Al Jolson is
Buried.”
Published in 1985, it has become
one of the most extensively anthol-
ogized stories of the last quarter
century.
“Amy Hempel is one of a handful
of contemporary writers who has
built a major reputation on short
stories alone,” said Pam Durban,
Doris Betts Distinguished Professor
of Creative Writing.
Hempel’s “Collected Stories”
was a finalist for the 2006 PEN/
Faulkner Award for Fiction and
was selected by the editors of The
New York Times Book Review as
one of the five best works of fiction
in that same year.

After years of planning and
months of campaigning, the push
for the UCommons renovation has
come to an end — at least for now.
But Don Luse, director of the
Student Union, said he doesn’t think
the plans are going away for long.
“I think — we still think — it’s a
really good plan. There is no doubt
that we need to reach out to some
groups of students,” he said.
“Our graduate and professional
students were pretty vocal. We
need to connect with them and
find out more from them.”
Luse also said he wants to meet
with other officials, architects and
students to decide the next step.
Without the UCommons refer-
endum paying for the second phase
of the renovation, only Phase 1 of
the plan will be completed.
This phase includes new meet-
ing rooms where the Union Cabaret

find ways to provide a student per-
formance space in the meantime.
“We’ll have something,” he said.
“It won’t be nearly as good, but I
think that’s our challenge now.”
“Something” might mean a
makeshift performance space in
the upcoming meeting rooms or
a low-cost project in the former
bowling alley area, Luse said.
The other option, he said, is to
regroup and try again.
Tyler Mills, president of the
Carolina Union Activities Board,
said he hopes to see the UCommons
proposal reappear on the ballot as
early as next year.
Megan Johnson, head of mar-
keting for the UCommons, said
she is disappointed by the referen-
dum’s failure.
“What I would foresee is that we
come together with students, with
Union staff members, with some
other key people that were involved
when we did surveys,” she said.
Though students resisted the fee
increase, Johnson said it is the only
feasible option to fund the project.
“There might be some private
fundraising we could look into,”
she said. “But that would be major,
major fundraising.”
The referendum, which pro-
posed a student fee increase of
$16 a year for the next 30 years,
reached the Feb. 8 ballot by way
of a student petition but was voted
down by about 54 percent.
“I think there were a lot of reasons
it didn’t pass,” Luse said. “I think if
you are not informed as to what’s in
it for you, you have no interest in it.
I think the controversy that got cre-
ated was a part of it, too.”
Student Congress member Adam
Horowitz filed a complaint Feb. 7
that delayed the release of the results.
The complaint cited the Union’s
petitioning and posting campaign
materials in dining halls and aca-
demic buildings, areas prohibited
under the Student Code.
Union officials did not deny
Horowitz’s claims but argued that the
Union is not subject to the Code.
In response to the discrep-
ancy, Horowitz and Student Body
President Hogan Medlin are co-
sponsoring a bill that will clarify Title
VI, the section of code in question.
The bill will also give power to
the Board of Elections to actively
regulate campaigns, which could
drastically change the atmosphere
of future attempts by the Union.
“Basically all Andrew Phillips
can do right now is go to the Union
and ask them nicely to take the
posters down,” Horowitz said.

Cierra Hinton to
take helm in fall
by Katelyn Trela
Assistant Arts Editor
For Cierra Hinton, being a part
of the Carolina Union Activities
Board is in her blood.
Officially named president
for the 2011-2012 school year on
Monday, Hinton, a junior, said her
mother first told her about CUAB.
“She was involved (in CUAB)
and always said wonderful things
about it,” she said of her mother,
who graduated from UNC in 1981.
When she transferred to UNC
two years ago, Hinton knew she
had to carry on the legacy.
She was appointed by Student
Congress to the
Union Board
of Directors
during her first
year at UNC
and was cho-
sen as chair-
woman of the
forum commit-
tee in the fall of
Cierra Hinton 2010.

When she
by the Union was the lone

Directors. committee,
Hinton brought
the Little Rock Nine — vital in the
movement to desegregate schools
— and Rocsi Diaz— the host of
BET’s “106 and Park” who strug-
gled with anorexia — to discuss
their lives and achievements with
students.
Hinton, a transfer student from
N.C. Agricultural &Technical State
University, said she hopes that
CUAB will help to embrace new
UNC students.
“Once we get to Fall Fest and all
600 student organizations are out
there, it gets harder to grab stu-
dents,” she said. “I want to get to
students a little earlier.”
Hinton said she wants to con-
tinue to spread the CUAB name
— a goal current president Tyler
Mills and former president Adele
Ricciardi have tried to achieve this
year.
“We sponsor so many great
events, but not everyone knows
that it’s CUAB, or even what CUAB
is,” Hinton said.
Ricciardi said she created exter-
nal affairs and finance committees
to help make CUAB better known

among 3.2 million high school
seniors for their performance on
either the SAT or ACT.
Further evaluation will be
based on the students’ essays, self-
assessments, description of activi-
ties, school recommendations and
transcripts.
In early April, 500 students
nationwide will be selected as final-
ists.
In May, the U.S. Department of
Education will announce one male
and female winner from each state,
as well as 15 at-large students and
20 from the creative and perform-
ing arts.
Scholars will be invited to
Washington for several days in
June to accept the Presidential
Scholar medallion and participate
in events with elected officials.
Town may allow larger signs
for local shopping centers
Chapel Hill residents might see
larger shopping center signs in
the future, the Chapel Hill Town
Council discussed at its meeting
Monday night.
Council members heard a pro-
posal for a Land Use Management
Ordinance amendment, which
would allow larger ground signs
at shopping complexes with
over 50,000 square feet of retail
space.
Sign ordinance regulations allow
the installation of signs with a max-
imum overall size of 15 square feet.
The proposed amendment would
increase the maximum to between
150 to 216 square feet.
The council will further discuss
the amendment March 28.
Council later considered the
rezoning application for Aydan
Court, a proposed 90 multi-family
residential development on a 5.8
acre site off of N.C. Highway 54
East.
The project would consist of 1 to
2 bedroom condominiums aimed
at young professionals and empty
nesters.

Northside giving input on development
by Mary Choi
staff writer
Residents are invited to a dis-
cussion on how potential changes
to downtown Chapel Hill are likely
to affect a historic neighborhood.
Community members will meet
tonight to discuss the Development
Framework and Action Plan and
how it will affect Northside and
adjacent neighborhoods.
“This area, which is increas-
ingly impoverished and transient,
wanted to have a voice in planning
given its stakes in the community,”
said Della Pollock, a UNC profes-
sor and director of the Marian
Cheek Jackson Center for Saving
and Making History.
The development plan is the
result of collaboration between the
town, the Chapel Hill Downtown
Partnership and the design firm
KlingStubbins. The plan includes
guidelines for creating new streets,
a transit center and new crossways
and walkways to facilitate down-
town development.
The first draft of the plan was
presented in June.
The meeting is a joint effort
between the Jackson Center and
community groups, including the
Chapel Hill-Carrboro branch of
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
and the St. Paul African Methodist
Episcopal Church.
Town economic development
officer Dwight Bassett, who will
attend the meeting, said the town
intended to get feedback from
Northside residents at a meeting in
August, but few people attended.
Pollock said the goals of this
meeting will be to build community
awareness, learn about the develop-
ment plan and give input.
There will be multiple ways to
provide feedback at the meeting, like
a panel of community members and
a question-and-answer session.

said. Since N.C. community colleg-

an enrollment increase wouldn’t be
fully funded.
“It it is not as though we can
ship money from other sources,” he
said. “It could mean fewer classes
available for overall students than
we would have otherwise.”
The plan would involve combin-
ing programs that schools already
have in place, like dual enrollment
and early college, into one entity.
It would also open up more
departments, allowing students to
take more courses, Green said.
“It would allow colleges to put

On a night where she lit up the

Staff writer

poetry, music and awards, Chapel
Hill residents remembered Bob
Sheldon on Monday night.
Sheldon was the owner of

Community Center and a renowned
political activist before he was shot
dead at his store 20 years ago by a
still-unknown killer.
“He was like a mentor. I looked
up to him,” said Andrea Eisen, a
UNC alumna who volunteered at
the bookstore as an undergradu-
ate. “I worshipped at his feet.”
As part of the celebration, the
store created the “Bob Sheldon
Award” in 2002 to recognize local
activists who stand up for causes
Sheldon would have advocated.
This year, the award was given
to Kerry Bigelow and Clyde Clark,
who were fired from their jobs
as town sanitation workers in
October.

“We can’t have a town where
they’re gonna be the judge and the
jury,” Clark said as he accepted his
award. “Nobody is gonna say, ‘I’m
wrong.’”
Sheldon was remembered as a
person who listened and engaged
in conversations regardless of his
political view, said William Stott,
a close friend of Sheldon.
“We talked about how we could
make a difference,” Stott said.
The book store acts as Sheldon’s
biggest memorial, with books
Sheldon chose still lining the store’s
walls. His political causes continue
to be promoted through the vari-
ous posters and bumper stickers
spread throughout the store.
“I never thought of a bookstore
as a form of expression,” Stott
said.
Twenty years ago, Eisen said the
store was a place for people to be
listened to.

Eisen said. “He made you feel like
he gave you his full attention.”
Sheldon’s sisters, who had not
come back to Chapel Hill since
their brother’s death, decided to
take part in this year’s memorial.
“Thank you for your loyalty and
dedication to the Internationalist
Bookstore and community center,”
Donna Sheldon said.
She said she wasn’t nervous
about coming back to the store
but had to convince her sisters to
accompany her.
“It was overwhelming, amaz-
ing, it just feels fabulous,” Donna
Sheldon said. “It was just a very
personal thing that it felt like I
needed to do.”
John Williams, the store’s finan-
cial coordinator, said he hopes to
see the bookstore continue to
inspire people through books and
activism.
“The store has had ups and
downs and swings, but never left
to right.”

t’s no secret — at UNC we
love our sports. Growing up
in eastern North Carolina, I
was lucky enough to experience
the household-shattering world
of ACC basketball madness (I
was an N.C. State fan growing up,
but don’t tell anyone).
But even in this soon-to-be
March Madness season, athletic
success isn’t UNC’s only claim to
fame.
Kendall and Tyler are my boys,
don’t get me wrong, but for every
inspiring student on the court,
there are as many or more inspir-
ing students off it; students who
are definitely entitled to more
than just a blurb on the UNC
home page.
People like the class of 2009’s
Emma Lawrence, who despite
her age is no rookie to interna-
tional development.
After having spent the summer
of 2006 volunteering in Ghana,
Emma was shocked at the quality
of medical care when performing
outreach health work.
“No one had basic medical
knowledge or supplies. Some
kids actually had to be taken to
the hospital; no one realized they
had terribly severe foot infections
from lack of proper shoes,” she
said.
“In the United States, that
would never happen. You’d
just go home and throw some
Neosporin on it.”
It is this very disconnect,
this gap between American and
Other, excess and need, that
MedPlus Connect addresses.
MedPlus Connect is the brain-
child of Emma and two of her
friends, Lauren Slive and Emily
Nix, both of whom are also UNC
graduates. The non-profit orga-
nization is based on one simple
belief — those who need medical
equipment deserve it.
Operating in Ghana’s three
northern districts, MedPlus
Connect turns our country’s “trash”
into another community’s treasure.
“There is so much waste in the
U.S. Because of a whole variety
of insurance regulations, clean
unpackaged supplies are thrown
away every day,” Lawrence said.
“For instance, at the Cleveland
Clinic, if a piece of equipment
even enters the patient’s room it
has to be thrown away.”
MedPlus Connect is working to
take advantage of these unfortu-
nate regulations by transporting
this very same medical equipment
to some of the most poverty-strick-
en areas of Ghana; these same
areas where, just years ago, hospi-
tals had no hospital beds, no X-ray
machines, no gauze or needles.
However, Emma and her team
didn’t start big. The first summer,
medical supplies were brought
over in suitcases.
Now, MedPlus Connect has
sent approximately 83,443
pounds of medical supplies, val-
ued at a staggering $1,300,000
— all of this, and Emma
Lawrence is only 23 years old.
Lawrence says MedPlus
Connect makes sure to incorpo-
rate the Ghanaian people into
each and every decision made.
Rather than delegating, they
prefer to collaborate.
“We are not here to change
the system, but we are hoping to
become part of it,” Lawrence said,
adding, “Honestly, nothing feels
better than feeling like you’re not
needed.”
But need will continue.
However, I have hope knowing
people like Emma Lawrence
will be there, a Tar Heel who left
her heelprint on a continent too
often forgotten.

That’s the ticket
Ticket policy should be altered to encourage
better turnout at junior varsity games
U
NC men’s junior varsity
basketball games do
not generally attract
huge audiences. Yet current
men’s basketball ticket policy
discourages Phase 1 ticket
holders from attending JV bas-
ketball games.
A novel way to increase
attendance at these games
would be to fix the perverse
incentive and allow Phase 1
ticket-holders to enter the sta-
dium prior to JV tip-off and
allow them to stay in their seats
through the varsity game.
It’s something for leaders
to consider when reevaluating
next year’s ticket policy.
Though JV games are open
to the public, the current sys-
tem discourages Phase 1 ticket
holders from attending those
games because students who
go to the JV games are forced
Responsible government
Oversight Committee a step forward for accountability
A
bill to partly restruc-
ture Student Congress
introduced by Congress
member Zach De La Rosa is a
welcome change that should
increase oversight authority
for Congress.
The bill effectively establish-
es a new “Oversight Committee”
to replace the current Student
A ff a i r s C o m m i tt e e . T h e
Oversight Committee will have
more expansive powers than
the Student Affairs Committee,
as the sponsors of this bill
believe the old committee’s
powers were too limited.
With the recent negative
atmosphere surrounding the
student body president elec-
tions and a lawsuit against the
Student Union for possible
misallocation of funds, the
general perception of student
government is pretty bad.
The way forward

T

figure out how to move for-
ward with proposed renovations.
Voted down by a slim mar-
gin of 8 percentage points, the
$8 per semester fee to fund the
UCommons project will not
appear on students’ bills this fall.
The Union has several options:
It can try to go to student refer-
endum again next year, with the
awareness of student concerns
and how its advertising campaign
was perceived this year.
Or it can wait and try again in
the next few years.
They can also try to get to pri-
vate funding for the project, but
we hope they view this as a last
resort for funding of the reno-
vations — the Union planning
has involved substantial student
input and closely reflects stu-
dents’ needs.

to go to the back of the line
after the first game ends. Most
JV games end around 1.5 hours
prior to varsity game tip-off —
the same time phase 1 ticket
holders are allowed to enter
the stadium for varsity games.
But by then, a line for Phase
1 ticket holders has usually
formed. By forcing these die-
hard fans to go to the back of
the line, we discourage them
from supporting our JV team.
Phase 1 ticket holders have
an incentive to stay outside
of the stadium during the JV
game and wait in line for better
seats for the varsity game.
This is hardly the right way
to encourage support for the
JV team. While it is true that
JV games aren’t quite as sexy
as the varsity ones we watch
on ESPN, they are the tru-
est examples of players work-
This bill proposes substan-
tive changes that are designed
to change this perception.
“We hope that this bill begins
an atmosphere of accountabil-
ity, so that students know that
their representatives are fulfill-
ing their responsibilities,” De
La Rosa said in an e-mail.
The new committee will
work toward keeping Congress
informed on how the Union,
Student Television and other
student organizations are
spending the money that
Congress has allocated them.
This should give the govern-
ment more supervision in
regards to making sure that
student money isn’t being
abused.
Additionally, the new com-
mittee will work with the stu-
dent body treasurer to ensure
that the money is allocated
The final reasons for the fee’s
failure might never come to light.
Graduate student opposition,
a contentious election season,
dislike of the project’s student
fee-funded advertising campaign
and general student fiscal conser-
vatism probably all contributed to
the referendum’s failure.
We hope the Union learns its
lessons from its failed campaign
and tries again in a few years.
Student money should not be
abused by paying for advertise-
ments for increased student fees
— although it might be difficult to
privately raise the thousand dollars
the Union might need for another
publicity campaign, it is certainly
easier to find that than private
funding for the entire renovation.
Graduate students need to be
convinced of the usefulness of a

valuable and powerful oversight
ability to effectively regulate
student organizations.
The new committee will also
regulate Congress and student
government. The bill includes
a provision that will allow the
executive branch to discuss any
issues they see on campus with
Student Congress.
This will allow the different
government branches to work
together to solve problems that
arise from inter-branch mis-
understandings before they
start and ensure that different
elected officials are fulfilling

not only help solve numerous
problems plaguing student

better atmosphere of account-

they don’t use the Union now does
not mean they never will.
If Union officials decide to
seek out private funding, they
must relay student preferences
to investors and emphasize the
need for increased meeting and
performance space in a 24-7
Union.
Students have voted “no” on
funding several projects and
have consequently lost their privi-
leged position when using those
resources.
By voting not to fund the
Smith Center, students lost out on
chances to reserve whole sections
of courtside seats.
Now we’re stuck in the risers.
Small sacrifices now can make
UNC that much better of a school
for future students. And that sense
of continuity — and responsibil-
ity — is part of what makes our
school great.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Quick Hit made illogical
conclusion about protest
TO THE EDITOR:
I am one of the students who
participated in the march on
the board of governors. I have
crafted this response in order to
express my regret with the por-
trayal of the participating stu-
dents in your Quick Hits section
on Feb. 17.
The author disparaged us for
being late and then made the
illogical conclusion that some-
how because we were late, we
were not the best products of a
costly education. I would just
like to state what is quite obvi-
ous — the author of this section
did not follow the story closely,
if at all. If he had he would have
known that we met with who
we sought to meet with, namely
Hannah Gage and Tom Ross.
We also brought up substan-
tive issues of merit with them,
issues such as the rising cost of
education, costs that are forcing
some students to leave school.
No student should have to go
through this and I wonder if
the author would still have the
temerity to make these com-
ments had he understood the
real ways in which these cuts and
hikes affect students.
I would like to close by saying
that this is not a call to stop these
comments from being made on
The Daily Tar Heel; quite the
contrary, I am a proponent of
free speech, but I think The Daily
Tar Heel would find that it is in
its best interests, for the sake of
reliability, to make sure its edi-
tors are as informed as possible.

Government needs to
legalize gay marriages
TO THE EDITOR:
This letter is in response to
the letter “Government recogni-
tion of commitment outdated”
(Feb. 14).
I agree that the sanctity of
marriage is not what it used to
be. “Some individuals insist on
excluding certain people from
… marriage, but … others insist
on maintaining it as the only
form of government-recognized
commitment.” The commitment
shared between two individuals
exists whether recognized by the
government or not.
Heterosexuals, for centuries,
have disgraced the purity of mar-
riage. They have obtained impi-
ous divorces and committed sac-
rilegious acts. The church believes
that homosexuality is a sin, but
aren’t lust, fornication, adultery
and divorce sins as well?
Alison Grady discusses the
injustice endured by homosexu-
als who wish to be recognized
for their commitment to one
another, but cannot due to the
provincial beliefs of the radi-
cally religious. Even though I am
a heterosexual and a part of the
Christian faith, I believe that the
government should legalize gay
marriage.

article “NC smoking ban tied
to air quality, rates of quitting,”
published on Feb. 14. I could
not agree more with the state of
North Carolina’s decision to ban
smoking in restaurants and bars.
Since the law has passed, North
Carolina has seen many bene-
fits. Recent data is demonstrat-
ing that action against smoking
is discouraging smokers and
diminishing secondhand smoke
exposure.
As a result of the ban, more
smokers are making the deci-
sion to quit. QuitlineNC, a free
tipline for quitters, saw a 35
percent increase in the number
of participants.
The ban has also provided
non-smokers relief from sec-
ondhand smoke exposure. In
2008, 7.8 percent of adults in
North Carolina reported being
exposed to secondhand smoke
at work every day during the
past week. During the first ten
months of 2010, only 4.3 percent
of adults reported experiencing
daily exposure. This ban was
an important step in protecting
North Carolina’s residents from
the harmful effects of second-
hand smoke.

Negative reaction to letter
a cause for much concern
TO THE EDITOR:
We are concerned by the vehe-
ment negative reaction to Katie
Varner’s Feb. 16 letter (“Gendered
language could be comparable to
racism”). Words order our soci-
ety, and so our speech constitutes
a social act: we may not all com-
mit gendered violence, but we all
do communicate.
Biased language inures us
to the inequities it creates — it
predisposes us to accept gen-
dered, discriminatory behaviors
as normative. We should not
equate gendered language with
slavery, as one commenter sug-
gested, but prejudicial language
does contribute to an environ-
ment where discrimination is
permissible. No one is suggest-
ing that a woman who doesn’t
mind being called “dude” is
not a successful woman -- but
the hostility of some women
against non-gendered language
can be seen as “immasculation,”
Judith Fetterley’s term for the
social and academic training
that pushes women to read,
and understand their world, in
a male (and male-dominant)
fashion.
Immasc ulated “readers”
unwittingly perpetuate gendered
inequities. English is not like
Spanish or German, which have
grammatical gender: when we
say “policemen” or “hey guys,” we
are, like it or not, enacting speech
that encodes male dominance. As
students in a University dedicat-
ed to non-discrimination “on the
basis of race, ethnicity, national
origin, religion, creed, sexual ori-
entation, gender expression, age,
or disability” we have a respon-
sibility to create and support a
safe and inclusive environment
for all students, and this begins
with our communication.
