UNC center to lead trials for
colorectal cancer patients
The Lineberger Comprehensive
Cancer Center is slated to lead a
clinical trial testing a new option
for colorectal cancer patients whose
illness has not subsided after first-
line treatments.
About 40 percent of patients
whose cancers contain certain
mutant genes see their illnesses
progress in spite of traditional pri-
mary treatments.
Dr. Richard Goldberg, associate
director for clinical research at the
Lineberger Cancer Center, is the
trial’s principal investigator.
The study is sponsored financial-
ly by Bayer HealthCare AG, which
will provide the medication free to
patients involved in the trial.
It will begin this month and
will involve 240 patients at the
University and at other sites
throughout North Carolina.
Few asthmatic children use
inhalers the correct way
Fewer than 10 percent of chil-
dren who have asthma use tradi-
tional inhalers correctly, according
to a new University study.
Inhalers designed recently have
more success with these children,
but at most only 25 percent use
these correctly, according to the
study, which is published online in
the journal Pediatrics.
Health care costs related to asth-
ma are estimated at more than $6
billion a year.
The research was led by Betsy
Sleath of the Eshelman School of
Pharmacy. The group studied 296
patients aged eight to 16 years old
who used four different devices to
treat their asthma.
The study was funded by the
$800,000 in cuts during her first
two years at the helm.
But despite its challenges, the
center doubled the amount of
grants it received under her eight-
year tenure. By the time she left that
role in 2010, the center was second
in grants only to the Lineberger
Comprehensive Cancer Center.
And now, the University as a
whole will put its faith in her to
produce similar results in another
troubled budgetary climate.
Entwisle was named vice chan-
cellor for research — a post she had

vast experience with research on
campus separated her from the
other two finalists, David Lee of the
University of Georgia and Kimberly
Espy of the University of Nebraska-
Lincoln, who held similar posts at
their respective universities.
While all three were quali-
fied, Carney said neither of those
schools prepared their candidates
for the intensity of research at UNC
that Entwisle has experienced for a
quarter century.
“So many things went into the
recommendation,” he said. “She’s
a better match to the needs of this
research-intensive campus.”
Entwisle said her main goal is to
foster more interdisciplinary collab-
oration, rattling off a lengthy list of
departments she has worked with.
She also wants to bring more
Chancellor Holden Thorp, the
champion of on-campus innova-
tion and entrepreneurship, praised
Entwisle’s selection in a press
release Thursday.
“She understands multidisci-
plinary research — a hallmark of
this University — extraordinarily
well and has the skills and insights
we need to help keep Carolina com-
petitive nationally,” he said.
Entwisle said that in the short
term, the biggest impediment to
her goals is the economic situation
at both a state and national level.
But despite that uncertainty,
the University has seen increases
in research funding for 14 years
in a row, bringing in $803 million
last year.
“I’m hoping that we can con-
tinue that,” Entwisle said.
Carney said the selection of
another interim candidate after a
long search is no reason to write off
the search process. The University
has also appointed its current dean
of the College of Arts and Sciences,
vice chancellor for student affairs,
provost and chancellor from within.
“Considering how much money
the people are responsible for,
spending $100,000 on someone
like Entwisle — whose budget
is probably $20 million — that’s
worthwhile,” he said.
“Probably half the deans came
from outside, and that’s accept-
able ... Although outside people can
bring new perspectives, the advan-
tage of an internal person is they’re
already here.”

County schools
receiving less
by Chelsey Dulaney
staff writer
As the state legislature struggles
to balance its budget, the fates of
North Carolina Education Lottery
funds and Orange County Schools
remain uncertain.
In addition to losing state
funding, the district is expected
to receive at least $300,000 less
from the lottery in the upcoming
year than in the previous year, said
Michael Talbert, deputy financial
services director for the county.
In the past, this money has been
used to fund capital projects like
school construction and other
major renovations.
“The money provided for school
construction means that the county
commissioners don’t have to raise
property taxes or borrow money,”
said Van Denton, director of com-
munications for the lottery.
With this anticipated loss, the
school system is putting capital
construction projects on hold for
the upcoming year.
“We’re proceeding cautiously
on any construction plans because
we don’t know how much money
we will have in future years,” said
Donna Coffey, vice-chairwoman of
the Orange County Schools Board
of Education.
“The state has so many things up
in the air right now.”
Because the county is expect-
ing to lose stimulus money along
with other funding, Coffey said
the superintendent proposed set-
ting aside a reserve fund for when
state reductions were decided.
The education lottery was cre-
ated in 2005 as a way to provide
funding for school construction,
Kindergarten through third grade
teachers’ salaries and college
scholarships, Denton said.
Originally, the lottery money
was intended to be a supplement
to other state funding.

ation has grown worse, Coffey said

Seniors help UNC earn 14th at NCAAs

Kinderwater gets fourth top honor
by kelly parsons
assistant sports editor
In Saturday’s NCAA swimming
and diving championship, Joe
Kinderwater had a chance to real-
ize a four-year long dream.
But for a moment, the senior
almost saw it float away.
Kinderwater went into
Saturday’s championship a three-
time first-team All-America and
with a top eight finish in the 1,650-
yard freestyle, the senior had a
chance to make it four-for-four.
The freestyler was used to
swimming in the final heat in the
event, but a ninth-place finish in
Saturday’s preliminaries put him
just outside of earning a spot.
Kinderwater refused to let it set
him back.
From a less-than-ideal after-
noon heat, the senior cruised to
a fifth-place overall finish in the
event and helped the men grab
14th place in the championship
meet, its best finish since 1993.
“He was just determined to do
well and score in the top eight,”
coach Rich DeSelm said. “And he
did better than that ­— he crushed
his best time. His splits were with-
in one-hundredths of each other
for 14 minutes.”
Kinderwater’s finish made him
the third four-time first-team All-
American in UNC men’s swim-
ming history, and the first in more
than 25 years.
The co-captain will leave big
shoes to fill. And no one knows
that more than his teammates.
Senior Tyler Harris was at a
loss for words when describing
Kinderwater’s value to the team.
“He means a heck of a lot to this
program, both as a leader and as a
swimmer,” Harris said. “It was kind
of his goal coming into the meet (to
become a four-time All-American)
and when he says that, there’s noth-
ing that’s going to get in front of
him and meeting his goals.”
Harris was also a standout for
the Tar Heels during the cham-
pionship weekend, and his third-
place swim in the 400-yard IM
was the highest individual finish
by a Tar Heel since 1965.
“I started out a little slower than
I usually do … but the back half of
my race was probably the strongest
“He means a heck
of a lot to this
program, both as
a leader and as a
swimmer.”
Tyler harris, on joe kinderwater
it’s ever been,” Harris said. “I was
able to pick some people off com-
ing home on the breaststroke and
freestyle.”
All eight UNC men that quali-
fied for NCAAs earned first-team or
honorable mention All-American
honors, and the five first-team
members were the most for a North
Carolina squad since 1968.
UNC’s 14th-place finish marked
a huge improvement for the senior
class, who witnessed UNC tie for
29th place just four years ago.
But for DeSelm, there’s still
room to grow.
“Our goal is to be an annual
top-10 team in both programs,” he
said. “We’re not there yet, but we’re
working hard to get there.”

staff writer
After gaining the majority in
the N.C. General Assembly for the
first time in more than 100 years,
Republicans might now be losing
their popularity among voters.
A survey conducted by Public
Policy Polling, a left-leaning think
tank, shows dropping approval
ratings for Republicans and states
so that if an election were to be
held today, Democrats would win
back some of the seats they lost in
November.
The survey found 38 percent
of voters to be in favor of the
Republicans in the state legisla-
ture, compared to 39 percent who
viewed them unfavorably.
One reason the Republicans
gained such a large majority of the
votes in November was indepen-
dent voters voting in their favor —
a trend that is now changing, said
Dustin Ingalls, assistant to the
director of the organization.
“Independents are moving back
toward Democrats,” he said.
And the Republican voter turn-
out in November was higher than
that of Democrat voters, he said.
Ingalls said the survey’s findings
could indicate a long-term effect,
but it depends on other factors,
like the state of the economy.
While he is not sure if the
Democrats will regain the major-
ity, he thinks there will be changes
to the legislative makeup in 2012.
“ We c e r t a i n l y c o u l d s e e
Democrats regaining a number of
the seats they lost,” he said.
James Stimson, political science
professor at UNC, said it is not
surprising for voters to lose favor
with the party in power.
“This is particularly typical for

against the continued use of the landfill that

want a lot of chang-
es, and we want
them right now.”
Greg Steele, college republicans
a sweeping election like we had in
2010,” Stimson said.
“The public reacts against the
party in power.”
Greg Steele, chairman of the
UNC College Republicans, said
voters did not expect any negative
effects.
But the economy cannot be fixed
without cutting back on different
programs, he said.
“Last November, voters sent a
loud message to Raleigh that we
want a lot of changes, and we want
them right now,” he said.
“I think people are starting to
realize this is going to hurt for a
while.”
He said he thinks voters will
again approve if Republicans
achieve a balanced budget or a
stable economy.
“They’re doing a great job,”
Steele said. “And there’s no ques-
tion in my mind that we’ve got to
make cutbacks.”
But Burton Peebles, co-presi-
dent of the UNC Young Democrats,
said the survey’s results are not
surprising considering the legisla-
tion in the Republican-led General
Assembly.
“Voters in North Carolina see
that the Republican alternative is
in need of a priority readjustment
when issues like voter ID and the
definition of marriage become
higher priorities than creating
jobs,” he said.

Dutch dance group visits
Performance is part of a world tour
by Jess broadbent
staff writer
The Nederlands Dans Theater
is on a world tour.
But in the United States, the
prestigious dance company will see
only the bright lights of California
and the more local lights of UNC’s
Memorial Hall.
Organized by Carolina
Performing Arts, the event will
feature the theater of 30 dancers
performing two choreographed
pieces on each of the two nights.
“(The company) is one of the
most important, amazing, influ-
ential modern ballet companies in
the world,” said Sean McKeithan,
communications and market-
ing coordinator for Carolina
Performing Arts.
He said the show promises to
draw audiences from the student
body and wider Carolina commu-
nity alike.
“A lot of people are very excited
about this,” McKeithan said.
Commending the levels of skill
and accuracy in the group, he
described their performances as
“always razor sharp.”
“I’ve always been blown away by
the technique and virtuosity of the
dancers,” he said.

who now works as an assistant
professor of the practice of dance
and is the co-director of the Duke
Ballet Repertory Ensemble at
Duke University, said the group
had an “unmatched creativity” and
versatility.
“The dancers are classically, phe-

Walters — who, before moving
to Duke, taught ballet at UNC —
said she remembers watching the
group perform in New York in the
1980s.
Though she hasn’t seen the
dance theater since then, Walters
said she can still picture the “exqui-
site performers.”
“They have an unmatched cre-
ativity, which offers something for
everyone,” she said.
“They are a wonderful group to
bring to North Carolina.”
Walters said she will be bringing
her 10-year-old daughter to see the
dancers to expose her to a once in a
lifetime experience.
“It’s huge for UNC,” Walters
said, crediting the efforts of Emil
Kang, the executive director for the
arts at UNC.
Kang developed the idea to bring
the company to perform in North

Renée Jones-Bos, the ambassa-
dor to the United States from the
Netherlands, will travel to UNC
in part to see the dance company
perform.
She will also be spending time
on campus and in the Triangle.
The Dutch government helps
fund the company, which is split
into two distinctive groups.
Nederlands Dans Theater I —
which will be at Memorial Hall
tonight — is made up of 30 dancers
from age 20 to 42. The other group
consists of 16 younger dancers.

of the National Heritage Language
Resource Center.
According to the most recent
available U.S. Census data, Spanish
and Chinese are the second and
third most widely spoken languag-
es at home, after English.
Nationwide enrollment in both
Spanish and Chinese increased
from 1960 to 2009, the period
for which Modern Language
Association data is available.
The impending UNC-system
budget cuts, which are expected to
be higher than 10 percent, threaten
course offerings, faculty and in rarer
circumstances, whole departments.
System administrators are
looking to European language
programs, such as French and
German, to see if they warrant cuts.
N.C. Agricultural and Technical
State University is already consid-
ering eliminating its whole foreign
language department.
But foreign language faculty and

ket weavers,” she said.
Eaker-Rich said many students
denied entry to the elementary
education program will have the
chance to apply to the kindergar-
ten program instead. She said she
expects 35 students to enroll in the
kindergarten program next fall, 10
more than last year.
Carithers said she would take
that option, even though it isn’t
quite what she wants.
“I really don’t want to teach kin-
dergarten,” she said.
Eaker-Rich said she does not see
the enrollment cuts as a long-term
problem.
“I really see it as more of a dip,”
she said. “There are always mar-
ket forces that have an impact on
things.”
Centralizing social work
In the School of Social Work,
officials worry that the cuts will
only worsen the current shortage
of social workers.
“There’s a huge void in the state,”
said Tina Souders, director of a
three-year masters program that
will remain intact in Winston-
Salem. “We need trained social
workers.”
The school’s dean, Jack Richman,
said 28 counties in North Carolina
do not have a single masters-level
social worker working in them.
Current students in the distance-
education programs will be able
to finish their degrees, but no new
students will be admitted.
“I think the future of social service
delivery in general is moving down-
ward,” he said. “I think we’re looking
at potentially a lower educational
standard for professional practice
and potentially fewer people to pro-
vide those kinds of services.”
He added that most faculty have
been spared because they are based
in Chapel Hill, where they will now
work full-time.
Although Richman said there
are 10 other masters-level social
work programs in the state, both
he and Souders said the suspen-
sion of UNC’s programs will limit
students’ ability to get degrees.
“That’s the tragedy of it all,”
Souders said.

Program cuts
The School of Education’s
undergraduate elementary
education program will enroll
between 30 and 35 fewer
students in 2011 than it did in
2010. It took on 109 students
in 2010. It will take between 74
and 79 students in 2011.
The School of Social Work has
suspended distance education
programs in Winston-Salem and
Flat Rock. The move resulted in
one layoff and another resigna-
tion. There are 10 other master’s-
level social work programs in
the state.

Goran
H
umble doesn’t even begin
to describe Dr. Goran
Jovic. For 18 years, the
moustached, Yugoslavian-born
plastic surgeon has been work-
ing tirelessly throughout Zambia,
without any trace of an ego.
I was lucky enough to meet
this eccentric, cuddly grandpa of
a man this past summer while
interning in southern Africa.
Looking back, I have to say he was
hands-down the most impressive,
hardworking man I had or have
ever seen in the nonprofit sector.
He sure as hell inspired me,
but his selfless work would be
inspirational to anyone.
Dr. Jovic proudly takes the
title as the only plastic surgeon
in the entire nation of Zambia.
Meanwhile, if you Google “plastic
surgeons in Beverly Hills,” you are
greeted with more than 450,000
results (but that’s no surprise for
any “Real Housewives” addicts).
But making leathery, sagging
faces into leathery, less saggy
faces isn’t the name of the game
for Dr. Jovic.
As the only plastic surgeon in
the nation, Dr. Jovic sees countless
burn victims, cleft palates and any
other superficial deformities one
can imagine. For some Zambians,
Jovic is their only hope at a nor-
mal, functional life in an extremely
poverty-stricken nation.
With help from American
nongovernmental organization
ReSurge International, Dr. Jovic
has been able to treat thousands of
patients, many of whom are char-
ity cases from the local orphanage,
Lusaka’s own Cheshire house.
Think your work schedule is
hard? Try having a seven-day
workweek. You heard right, seven
days.
Also, as if that isn’t enough,
he’s a professional pilot.
That’s because every week,
without fail (he only misses one
week a year, when Easter rolls
around), Dr. Jovic takes his small,
single-propeller Cessna 206 out
of the hangar and flies to rural
clinics throughout every province
of Zambia. He flies off the runway
on Thursday and makes it home
just in time for dinner on Sunday.
I would probably feel comfort-
able designating Dr. Jovic as the
biggest “BA” in plastic surgery.
However, after meeting Goran,
my mind couldn’t help but think
back to our little slice of heaven
here in Chapel Hill, to our own
socially-conscious BA’s (yes, that’s
an intentional play on words, and
a bad one at that).
Now, we don’t work seven-day
workweeks, and I don’t know
anyone taking a stab at plastic
surgery (please excuse the pun),
but this same spirit of service can
be found throughout Chapel Hill.
We are extremely lucky to
attend a University as involved
and justice-driven as UNC. The
Campus Y has been a fixture on
our campus for 150 years, UNC
ranks third among large schools
in the number of Peace Corps vol-
unteers, and there are constantly
5Ks, concerts and petitions.
This time of year, when the
weather gets warmer, pollen covers
literally everything and Pit preach-
ers gain a little bit of confidence,
we are bombarded with voices,
events and fundraisers.
It can be frustrating, I know,
but think about it — we should
be thankful and proud our
student body is so inspired, so
driven, so Goran-like.
UNC students don’t have time
to slum for basketball tickets or
learn animal husbandry. We’re
Tar Heels, and we make things
happen.

Bring students on board
Now that they are footing a bigger part of the bill,
students deserve a seat on the transportation board
W
ith the coming hike
in student transit
fees, it is clearer than
ever that students should have
a seat on the Chapel Hill trans-
portation board.
Under the recently passed
five-year transportation plan,
the student transportation fee
will increase by $14 annually
to help close an expected $6.1
million increase in operation
costs for Chapel Hill Transit.
The plan itself is logical. Costs
are going up and students make
up a disproportionate amount
of those who use Chapel Hill
Transit. By raising the amount
paid by students, the board is
trying to distribute the costs in
a more equitable way. But stu-
dents are still paying more, with
no increase in benefits.
Under the new plan, students
will go from paying one-third

Cellphone ban a raw deal for drivers in NC
T
here are currently three
bills working their way
though the General
Assembly that seek to limit
cellphone use while driving.
Proposals vary in their extent,
either banning all cellphone
use or limiting it to hands-free
devices, but all proposals would
charge violators a $100 fine.
The proposals might dif-
fer, but they have the same
problems. Banning cellphones
would be difficult to enforce
and turn otherwise law-abiding
citizens into criminals, it’s not
guaranteed to make the public
safer and it looks like a conve-
nient way to increase revenue
during a budget crisis.

Snoop gets a bad rap
T
he possibility of UNC
hosting a free Snoop Dogg
concert has been a subject
of intense debate around cam-
pus. People have raised objec-
tions about the concert ranging
from the artist’s lyrical content
to the policies surrounding the
show. Snoop Dogg is certainly
a controversial figure, but he is
being misrepresented.
Most pertinent to the me as an
athlete and sports columnist is
the fact that Snoop Dogg found-
ed a charitable youth football
league aimed at inner city kids.
The program in fact is grow-
ing, and has recently decided to
expand to Chicago.
He’s doing other charity work
as well. He is currently in the
process of raising money for vic-
tims of the crisis in Japan.
One of my fellow columnists,
Matthew Moran, argues that
Snoop Dogg’s offensive messages
seem out of place considering
our progressive community.
But since when has barring

to paying about 40 percent,
bringing them much more in
line with their usage. If there
were ever a time for students to
have access to the transporta-
tion board, it is now.
It hardly seems fair that stu-
dents should account for 40
percent of Chapel Hill Transit’s
budget without having direct
access to the board that dic-
tates the rate they must pay.
It is this same reliance of stu-
dents on Chapel Hill Transit
that makes clear the need for a
student on the transportation
board. A student representative
would provide the board with
valuable information about how
transportation is being used by
its largest client base. Problems
would be more easily identified,
related and addressed.
Chairman of the board
would be virtually unenforce-
able. Law enforcement officers
can pull people over for using
their phones, but the majority
of us are going to keep talking
and get away with it.
Cellphones are an integral
part of life, especially for the
average college student.
It’s a monumental task to
enforce a ban enough to actu-
ally cut down on the number of
people talking and driving, and
it draws time and resources away
from more pressing problems.
Because a ban would be
hard to enforce, it’s unlikely
to make the roads safer. Using
a cellphone while driving is a
risk, but we already have laws

Augustus Cho worries that a
student representative might
blindly follow an agenda that
only benefits students, saying
the board has a responsibility
to all taxpaying residents of
Chapel Hill.
Given that 80 percent of
Chapel Hill Transit ridership is
accounted for by people related
to the University, it is hard to
see just how such an agenda
would be harmful.
Moreover, Cho’s worries
about a fanatical student rep-
resentative working solely to
benefit students while ignoring
all other aspects of the board is
condescending.
Cho himself claims to be
working for Chapel Hill tax-
payers but he recognizes the
needs of the University. Surely
the reverse would also be true
of a student representative.

of another crime will not make
us safer.
Finally, talk of a cellphone
ban seems to come at a pretty
convenient time.
With a state budget hole to
cover, the General Assembly is
on the hunt for things to cut or
things to tax. An unenforceable
cellphone ban would really just
be an occasional “surprise we
caught you” tax on cellphone
users.

highness.”
Clearly, the University of
Pennsylvania community is full
of backward misogynists.
As far as using University
property for commercial pro-
motion, I fail to see the logic in
allowing James Taylor to host a
concert on Fetzer Field benefit-
ting Barack Obama but barring
Snoop Dogg from hosting a free
event with a sponsor.
I attended the James Taylor
concert in 2008, which was
sponsored by the Obama cam-
paign, and James Taylor leading
Obama chants certainly emit-
ted the feeling of a promotion.
Artists that perform concerts in
Memorial Hall often promote
their respective albums hop-
ing to increase demand of their
product. The past application of
the commercial promotion rule
is ambiguous at best.
At a time when money is gen-
erally scarce, how can scrapping a
free concert that was voted on by
35,000 people possibly be justi-
fied?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
QuickHit was offensive
to UNC humans, zombies
TO THE EDITOR:
I was offended when I saw
Thursday’s QuickHit concern-
ing our “post-apocalyptic”
activities on campus. This is
my first semester participat-
ing in Humans v. Zombies and
in just a few days I have met
multiple interesting individuals
who I would feel proud to call
my friends.
The statement concerning our
social lives, “find a date … or have
a drink” are ignorant, demeaning
and detrimental to the argument
presented. Many of us have found
a way to enjoy competition and
community without succumb-
ing to stereotypical, and in my
opinion, less-meaningful ways
of having fun.
Our pursuits are strategic,
entertaining to others, sports-
manlike and without superficial
judgment that many on our cam-
pus seem to lack. Consider this
an invitation to the rest of the
student body to join the horde
next semester.

University hypocritical for
not allowing Snoop Dogg
TO THE EDITOR:
I’m extremely disappointed
with how the University is han-
dling the situation with Snoop
Dogg. I feel that the Union
Board is being extremely hypo-
critical, as CUAB has hosted Big
Boi and Fabolous, both of whom
are also weed enthusiasts. Or
what about when we hosted
Gym Class Heroes, who sing a
song about cocaine titled “Viva
la White Girl?”
Snoop Dogg is not only a hip-
hop legend, but he has worked to
eliminate gang violence, founded
a football program for at-risk
youth, as well as coached his
son’s high school football team.
Can’t we point out his positive
contributions to the community
rather than the negative? We
should be honored and appre-
ciative that he is willing to come
to UNC, and welcome him as any
other guest.
Just two years ago, UNC stu-
dents were arrested for 197.6
grams of cocaine, one of whom
was a member of Chi Omega. In
my four years at UNC, I have wit-
nessed many students involved
in such drug use.
If we can’t abolish the use
of cocaine among our own stu-
dents, isn’t it hypocritical to say
we can’t host Snoop Dogg at
UNC because of the “unfavor-
able image he could have on the
University” due to his stance on
marijuana?

ing relative to the contribution
from the towns of Chapel Hill
and Carrboro.
But this argument does not go
far enough.
Most graduate and profes-
sional students live and work in
Chapel Hill and Carrboro year
round, contributing to the local
tax base that pays the remainder
of the transit expenses.
I am already paying twice for
the so-called “free” bus that serves
my neighborhood: once through
my rent, which pays my land-
lord’s property tax to the town
of Carrboro, and once through
student fees.
No other group (faculty, staff,
or local residents) is double-billed
in this manner.
Under the new plan, the transit
fee will increase by $14 annually,
we will pay for transit a third time
through the night parking fee, and
park and ride lots will be inacces-
sible for infrequent users, because
they will require a paid permit.
Through this nickel and dim-
ing, students subsidize “free”
transit for the entire community.
Meanwhile, the privileged few
who park on campus will only
see miniscule increases in the
cost of a parking permit, and the
Board of Trustees will continue
to enjoy the privilege of parking
on campus for “free,” which is to
say, at the students’ expense.

Minimum requirements
for CCI computer too high
TO THE EDITOR:
Last week’s announcement
of CCI including Macintosh
computers drew criticism from
the editorial board (“A CCI Mac
option is a much-needed addi-
tion,” Mar. 23).
The claim was that a cheaper
MacBook should be offered.
There is a bigger issue that pre-
vents this option: The minimum
computing requirements are too
high.
Four years ago, I purchased a
T60p through CCI. It was a top-
of-the-line machine at the time,
and was a terrific machine for
the entire time I used it.
But it was also much more
powerful than I needed. A much
older, cheaper computer could
have handled everything I did
that related to my coursework.
It doesn’t take a top-of-the-line
machine to access the Internet,
type up Word documents, work
in Excel and handle most of the
chemistry software I used in
completing my majors. Any com-
puter made after 2000 would
have satisfied my needs, as well
as the needs of the vast majority
of the UNC population.
Yes, a simple MacBook would
satisfy the needs of a UNC stu-
dent. Yes, it would be cheaper.
But no, it would not satisfy the
“minimum requirements” set
forth by CCI.
Our University needs to
reconsider how it determines
the “minimum requirements”
for incoming classes, especial-
ly when the actual minimum
requirements could be handled
by a netbook that costs at least
$1,000 less than every single
CCI option.
