Larry Trollinger, owner of Kens Quickie Mart, said he has known University Square would be demolished since UNC bought it six years ago.

Time-Out is not ready to throw in the towel.
Though current University Square tenants
will be required to vacate this summer and
many already have, Time-Out is still searching
for a new location.
Weve been here since 1978, and I think we
are so much more than just a restaurant, said
Ira Green , catering and special events director
for Time-Out. We are a big part of the UNC
experience for a lot of the kids.
Green said while Time-Outs owner is con-
sidering a move to a space on Rosemary Street,
theyre keeping their options open in terms of
new locations.
The demolition of University Square, which
has been home to several local businesses like
Time-Out, is set to start as early as October of
this year.
Plans for the redevelopment started in
2009, shortly after University Square was pur-
chased by Chapel Hill Foundation Real Estate
Holdings, the Universitys nonprofit real estate
arm.
The space has approval for 300 residential
units, 75,000 square feet of retail and 210,000
square feet of office space.
We believe it will be a positive addition,
said Dwight Bassett, economic development
officer for Chapel Hill. The space will open a
market for retail and restaurants to tap into,
and the retail will be a welcomed addition to
what already exists in the space.
Gordon Merklein, director of real estate
development at UNC, said he is pleased with
the progress in the development.
This is a large-scale project that, once
under way, will further transform West
Franklin Street and provide students, faculty,
staff, Chapel Hill residents and visitors with a
new downtown destination.
Many of the businesses at University Square
have closed or relocated to other major devel-
opments such as 140 West and University Mall.
Maisie Coborne, the former owner of
Butternut Squash restaurant, sued UNC Chapel
Hill Foundation Real Estate Holdings in October
after she said the group failed to inform the res-
taurant about its chances of keeping a location in
the redeveloped University Square.
Merklein said the University has been in con-
stant contact with the University Square tenants
for the past five years.
The few remaining tenants have operated
on a month-to-month basis as they continue
to look at relocation options, Merklein said.

Orange County officials are on the
look-out for a threat that could be sit-
ting in the average home prescrip-
tion pain medications.
There were 1,014 accidental drug
overdoses in North Carolina in 2012,
according to the North Carolina Injury
Violence and Prevention Branch.
Of those deaths, 565 were from
prescription opioid painkillers.
In Orange County, prescription
pain medication, specifically opioids,
cause about 10 unintentional poison-
ing deaths every year.
The increased access and use of
prescription pain medication sparked
this trend, said Dr. Lisa Waddell, chief
program officer for community health
and prevention for the Association of
State and Territorial Health Officials.
At one time, people were using
illegal drugs a lot, like heroin, and
then those drugs became more expen-
sive, so they looked for similar drugs,
Waddell said. People found another
legal form in prescription medication.
The Orange County Health
Department has made drug overdose
prevention its top priority this year,
said Meredith Stewart, senior public
health educator for the department.
Last year, we did door-to-door sur-
veys to see what the communitys priori-
ties were, and we saw that substance
abuse was seen as a top issue, she said.
The biggest risk comes when people
think an overdose cant happen to them.
We see elderly patients who are
overdosing by accident, we see young
people overdosing who are just experi-
menting with drugs and take too many,
we see middle aged people who use it
for pain, said Tessie Castillo, spokes-
woman for the North Carolina Harm
Reduction Coalition, which provides
overdose prevention training. Its rich
people, its poor people, its everybody.
Naloxone, also a prescription medi-
cation, can be used to help a person
who overdoses on pain medication.
Naloxone blocks the effects of the
opiate in the brain, and it reverses the
overdose, Castillo said.
The medication is intended to pre-

UNC keeps tabs on classes
with clusters of athletes
By Daniel Schere
Assistant University Editor
Ever since fraudulent classes were
discovered in the Department of African
and Afro-American Studies, all eyes have
been on not only professors and their
syllabuses, but also classes that have
large percentages of student-athletes.
Situations where this imbalance
occurs in courses are often referred to
as athlete clustering.
Records obtained by The Daily Tar
Heel show four other departments
offered courses with between 25 and
100 percent athlete enrollment from the
period of fall 2003 to spring 2012.
These departments included drama,
communication studies, exercise and
sports science and English.
In 2011 it was discovered that some
students took no-show courses in the
former department of African and Afro-
American Studies and received a num-
ber of unauthorized grade changes.
A 2012 report by former Gov. Jim
Martin found these irregularities dated
back to 1997 and were confined to one
department. There were high propor-
tions of athletes in some of these classes.
Senior Associate Dean for
Undergraduate Education Bobbi Owen
said since the Martin Report, faculty
have stepped up efforts in monitoring
courses with large numbers of athletes.
In classes where athletes make up
20 percent or more of the class enroll-
ment in a fall or spring semester, we
follow up with the appropriate faculty
and/or administrators to ensure that
the course is being taught according to
University policies, she said.
The Martin Report also identified

Scrutiny picked up
after a 2012 report from
former Gov. Jim Martin.
Retired
faculty members
address scandal
By Bradley Saacks
Staff Writer
A critical letter written by
retired faculty members will
soon have a response from
their former co-workers.
The Chancellors Advisory
Committee discussed a wide
range of topics during its
Wednesday meeting, including
the letter that criticized what
signers called a lack of action on
the part of current UNC faculty
surrounding the athletic scandal.
It was signed by more than
30 retired faculty members.
The current faculty will
release a response Thursday
online, maintaining that they
are far from silent and missing
in action as the letter claimed.
Chancellor Carol Folt
said she and Executive Vice
Chancellor and Provost Jim
Dean met with the Retired
Faculty Association for two
hours a couple of weeks before
the letter was written.
That group (that signed
the letter) was not the Retired
Faculty Association, Folt said.
We have been communicating
... and I think it was a group
that might not have been aware
of the efforts by our faculty.
The response to the letter,
created by the Faculty Athletics
Committee, was read by Lissa
Broome, a professor in the law
school and committee member.
As faculty who have consis-
tently insisted upon integrity
and reform, we would like to
reassure our current and
past colleagues that faculty
governance is alive and well,
Broome said, reading the open-
ing line of the response.
The committee members
applauded the letter and its
intentions.

DTH/SYDNEY HANES
Alexander Julian shared insight into professional attire at Student to Professional,an event hosted by University Career Services on Wednesday.
The Julians coached students on professional attire
By Mark Lihn
Staff Writer
You can wear eye-catching pants, a multi-
colored tie, a double-breasted blazer and a
striped shirt when you are Alexander Julian
giving a lecture to UNC students.
But the same cannot be said for when you
are interviewing for a job.
Alexander and Meagan Julian pro-
vided advice for students on how to wear
professional attire and establish an image
Wednesday at the Carolina Inn. The talk
was organized by University Career Services.
Some of their tips included dressing
more formally than you think is necessary
and in a way that will convey a respect for
the position.
The Julians, famous for their fashion
design, may be best known at UNC for
their store on Franklin Street, which was
opened by Alexander Julians parents.
Alexander Julian said dressing is an
opportunity for self-expression, but clothes
should not interfere with ones image. Both
Julians said the way clothes fit is impor-
tant, and Meagan Julian added that both
men and women should invest in altering
for their work clothes.
You have to feel comfortable in your
clothes to perform in them, Alexander
Julian said.
Mens choices are rather straightforward,
while women must choose from more
options for professional attire, Meagan
Julian said. She said women have to be
careful not to wear too much makeup, have
too short a skirt or leave bra straps uncov-
ered in a professional setting.
Youre not looking for a date, youre
looking for a job, she said.
Ray Angle, director of University Career
Services, said understanding how to dress
in a jobs environment and culture shows
professionalism to employers. Internships
can often lead to future job opportunities
with the company, and dressing well during
the internship could be a factor, Angle said.
Employers often say that students come
to them with the book knowledge, but they
may not have what we call the soft skills, or
the interpersonal skills, he said.
Freshman Rachel Posey said she was
happy with her first Career Services event,
particularly because of its relevance to her
career goals.
I thought it was really helpful, espe-
cially from a female standpoint because
the lines between different things that are
appropriate for women can be really blurry
sometimes, Posey said.
Austin Smith, another freshman, said
the lecture helped clarify different stan-
dards of professional dress.
You think you understand, but when you
get an email and it says dress casual, dress
business casual, youre not sure what youre
supposed to be wearing, Smith said. Its nice
to have leading experts in style to give you the
thumbs-up for what you should be doing.
Alexander Julian and two of his children
are UNC graduates, while two of his other
children are current students.
He joked that his favorite suit he has ever
designed is the UNC mens basketball teams
argyle uniform, and said he still feels con-
nected to his alma mater.
I would do whatever I can to help
Carolina.

Professors
work for
Boston
Marathon
By Jake Barach
Staff Writer
The participants of last years Boston Marathon
wont let a terrorist attack stop them from cross-
ing the finish line on April 21.
A year ago Tuesday, two bombs were detonated
near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, caus-
ing three deaths and hundreds of injuries. The
incident culminated in an extended manhunt
during which one police officer was killed.
I decided immediately after the event that I
would do it again, said Peter Leone, a professor in
the UNC School of Medicine who finished last years
race about 40 minutes before the bombs detonated.
There was no way that I wasnt going to go
back and do it again. I wanted to do it because I
thought it was important to make a point.
Leone wont be the only UNC professor partici-
pating one will even put his research skills to use.
Shortly after the events of last years race, the
Boston Athletic Association contacted Richard
Smith, a UNC statistics professor who will also
run in the Boston Marathon this coming Monday,
and asked him to develop a method to predict the
finishing times of those who were unable to com-
plete the race because of the bombing.
He said although there was a sentimental com-
ponent toi it, the Boston Marathons strict qualify-
ing requirements also needed the assistance to
determine who would be eligible to return.
Ultimately, the Boston Athletic Association
decided to invite all 5,633 runners who were unable
to finish the race to participate again this year.
Regardless of the decision not to apply his teams
work, Smith said he took on the pro bono job
because of his desire to support the organization.
Smith and his team crafted algorithms that
compensated for factors such as fatigue and then
validated their accuracy by comparing against fin-
ishing times from previous Boston Marathons.
While the data may not have been utilized yet, the
algorithms could still be applied in the future, said
Francesca Dominici, a professor of biostatistics at
the Harvard School of Public Health.
She and five others worked with Smith to create
the algorithm, and she will also run on Monday. The
calculations could lead to the development of an
application that would allow runners to track their
pace and predict their finishing time during a race.
The training necessary to reach the finish line
on Boylston Street can range from four to six
months, Leone said. This time around, however,
crossing the finish line means something more.
There is a sense that were connected and it
matters and I have a deeper sense of that now
than I did before, Leone said.

Student government representa-
tives across North Carolina traveled
to the nations capitol Sunday and
Monday to lobby for student issues.
The group, which was composed
mostly of outgoing student body
presidents, went to Washington,
D.C., to advocate for student finan-
cial aid and the paybacks of increas-
ing federal funding for colleges and
undergraduate research.
Weve been mostly advocating for
student aid from the federal govern-
ment, said UNC-Pembroke student
body president Emily Ashley. Weve
been outlining the benefits and why it
needs to continue. One issue that has
also come up is the beneficial qualities
of federal funding for undergraduate
research, as we feel that it gives stu-
dents a competitive edge when they
come out of education.
Among others in attendance were
Robert Nunnery, president of the
UNC-system Association of Student
Governments and student body pres-
idents Dylan Russell of Appalachian
State University, Crystal Bayne from
UNC-Greensboro and Alex Parker
from N.C. State University, who is
also next years ASG president.
There was no representative from
UNC-Chapel Hill. Nunnery said he
asked former UNC-CH Student Body
President Christy Lambden to go,
but Lambden said he did not attend
because it was no longer his respon-
sibility since he left office earlier
this month. Student Body President
Andrew Powell did not go because he
would have had to register before he
even knew he won the election.
A group of mostly UNC-
system student body
presidents lobbied there.
Nunnery said he expected that it
would take a while for their lobbying
to have real effects.
The best outcome of our advo-
cacy would be the passing of the
Higher Education Reauthorization
Act, Nunnery said. Having that
passed in Congress, with bipartisan
support, and not having it delayed
until the expiry of this year, would
be all we could hope for.
If reauthorized, the act would
continue to give financial assistance
to college students.
Ashley said she hoped this would
become a regular event for student
government.
Were still discussing whether
this should become an annual or bi-
annual thing, she said. We want to
keep Congress informed about what
matters most to students. However,
there is no point in telling the same
people the same stuff every year.
U.S. Congress was not in session on
the Monday the group was on Capitol
Hill, so the student representatives
met with staffers and policymakers
instead of congressmen and women.
Still, representatives said they were
busy and had eight meetings Monday.
We are speaking with the people
who directly advise congressmen and
women, Nunnery said. Talking to the
high-level staffers will ultimately be
in our favor, as they are policymakers
who have input in the legislation. They
are the best people to talk to about
issues in North Carolina education.
Powell said he would support simi-
lar trips in years to come.
Advocacy for student issues is a
priority for any student government,
but particularly the president, he
said. Future employability is a huge
concern for UNC students, and it
relies on the investments that the
government put into education, both
on a federal and state level.

Jenny Han and Sarah Dessen
have many things in common
both are UNC alumni, root for
UNC basketball and love Twitter.
And both are also best-selling
young adult authors.
The pair will be sharing the
spotlight tonight at Flyleaf Books
to promote Hans new book, To All
the Boys Ive Loved Before.
Han, the author of The New
York Times best-selling series The
Summer I Turned Pretty, will
start the event by reading from her
book, then will have a conversation
with Dessen about their respective
writing processes, the transforma-
tions in the young adult publishing
industry in the past 10 years, as
well as their experiences at UNC.
Im really not in promotional
mode right now because my last
book came out in June, but Ill
do anything for Jenny and I love
Flyleaf, said Dessen, a lifelong
Chapel Hill resident who is current-
ly working on an upcoming novel.
Linnie Greene, marketing manag-
er at Flyleaf, said if past events with
Dessen are any indication, this event
will likely be standing room only.
Youre hearing from people who
have already done this for quite a
while and who are very experienced
in the whole process of starting
with a manuscript and ending up
with a novel that sells hundreds of
thousands of copies to people all
over the world, she said.
Dessen met Han, who lives in
Brooklyn, face-to-face for the first
time in 2008 after years of telecom-
munication. In 2006, when Han
was enrolled in a class at UNC called
Writing Childrens Literature, pro-
fessor Ruth Moose recommended
her manuscript to Dessen, who had
recently retired from her position in
the creative writing program.
Once Dessen read it, she called
Han to congratulate her on what
would be her first novel, Shug,
published in 2007.
Since then, Han and Dessen have
kept in touch by seeing each other at
library conferences, panels and other
literary events. However, their one
true uniting force has been Twitter,
which keeps them connected as they
decompress during UNC basketball
season and make plans to one day
become co-owners of season tickets.
Both women said they hope pro-
spective writers come to the event
to learn more about the craft of
writing and the process itself.
I remember teaching and I had
students who would come into
my classroom or to my office who
would say, I want to do what you
did tell me, and Im like, Well, I
waited tables for two years after I
graduated, Dessen said. You have
to get in the habit of really sitting
down every day and just doing it.
Both Dessen and Han cited their
time at UNC as a major stepping
stone on the path to publication.
I think (my time at UNC) is part
of why I was so drawn to young
adult stories because I think when
you look back on memories, its like
those places and those people that
you knew when you were young,
that resonate the most in some
ways, Han said.
So I think wherever I live, I
will always look back at that time
fondly and feel like I was there a lot
longer than when I was.

Q&A.
TODAY IN DIVE
By Kristina Kokkonos
Staff Writer
Record collectors around the world will rejoice as
they prepare to line up outside independent record
stores this Saturday, hoping to get their hands on cop-
ies of exclusive vinyl releases.
You usually come into work on Record Store Day
with a line already formed, which is fun, said Chaz
Martenstein, owner of Bull City Records in Durham.
Its pretty cool to see that kind of excitement.
When it began in 2008, Record Store Day was a
low-key event that was meant to bring business and
attention back to independently owned record stores
in the digital music age.
Since then, record labels have produced new releas-
es and reissues that are only available on Record Store
Day, which falls on the third Saturday of every April.
According to its website, nearly 1,000 independent
record stores across the globe currently participate in
the holiday.
Because there is such a high demand for these spe-
cial releases, a lot of pressure is put on record labels to
get them pressed in time and in a large quantity.
Cory Rayborn, owner of Three Lobed Recordings
in Jamestown, will participate in Record Store Day for
the third time. He said he only releases new material
for the event and has always sold out.
The things Ive worked on for Record Store Day
are new and purposeful for that day, Rayborn said.
Ive worked pretty hard to make the stuff worth-
while.
This year, Rayborn is releasing two split 12-inch
records. One is between local artist Jenks Miller and
James Toth the Lexington, Ky.-based artist also
known as Wooden Wand. The other is Sun City Girls
Alan Bishop (as Alvarius B) and Rick Bishop.
Part of the frustration for local labels over the years
began when major labels stepped in to produce what
Rayborn sees as unnecessary material.
The intentions (of Record Store Day) were great
and the intentions were pure, Rayborn said. Once
the major labels realized they could make money off
this, they started pumping out a bunch of crap.
Although Brendan Greaves of the label Paradise of
Bachelorsin Chapel Hill has never released anything
for Record Store Day, he said he agrees with Rayborn.
A lot of (the releases are), frankly, rather superflu-
ous, overpriced or just unnecessary reissues of records
that dont really need a reissue, Greaves said.
I think Record Store Day as an institution and
organization is great. Promoting local record stores is
incredible and a very important thing to do, but the
event itself is just pandemonium.
Customers can often have frustrations too. Because
of the high volume of people that turn out on Record
Store Day and the randomized allocation of the
amount of records to each store, they can often leave
disappointed or empty-handed.
I would say that it does get a little frustrating in
the sense that in a perfect world, Id be able to get all
of my regulars the releases that they want ... but the
supply doesnt really allow me to do that, Martenstein
said. Its definitely got its pros and its got its cons.
Those cons, however, are not enough to turn most
record labels, storeowners and collectors away from
participating in Record Store Day.
Its a good day for stores, Martenstein said. Its
kind of a fun, joint appreciation day for our regulars
and customers, and we appreciate just the amount of
people that come out.
Martenstein and Greaves both said that in the
future, theyd like to see Record Store Day become
more tame.
If that happens, Greaves said he would be
more likely to put out a release for that day, and
Martenstein said he would be able to host fun activi-
ties and bring more of a party atmosphere back to
the store.
But for now, everyone who participates will just
have to cope with the downsides to enjoy much of
what Record Store Day has to offer.
Its a cool thing thats become a little bit of a head-
ache, Rayborn said.
Its fun, but fun with an asterisk.

Local labels and stores gear up for 6th annual event
Diversions Thursday, April 17, 2014 The Daily Tar Heel 5
OCULUS
Oculus is a fresh, unique
take on the horror genre
that relies on smart writing,
strong acting, impressive sto-
rytelling and the bending of
reality for its scares.
Put simply: It is the best
horror film to hit theaters in
years.
The film revolves around
siblings Kaylie (Karen Gillan)
and Tim Russell (Brendon
Thwaites) as they try to prove
that an antique mirror was
actually the cause of their
familys traumatic, murder-
ous past, rather than their
deranged father.
With surveillance equip-
ment, weapons and a lot of
planning, the two plan to
prove the existence of the
mirrors monster and kill it
for good.
The monster in question
is a dark supernatural being
with the power to twist per-
ceptions and physically and
emotionally manipulate any-
one in its vicinity.
The idea of an evil pres-
ence in a mirror is nothing
new, but the way the storys
told is refreshingly different
than the methods used by
past films with similar prem-
ises.
The film is set in two time
periods as it tells the current-
day story of Tim and Kaylie
trying to destroy the mirror
and the past story of what
originally happened to their
family.
As the film progresses, the
lines between the time peri-
ods begin to blur.
Thanks to strong editing,
it becomes nearly impossible
to distinguish whether the
greater danger is in the past
or the present.
All of this only adds to the
inventive way director Mike
Flanagan uses confusion to
create fear.
Oculus is sometimes
quite hard to keep up with,
and its all the better for it.
The film skips classic cheap
scares and cliches, instead
going for something far more
haunting: fear by disorienta-
tion.
With unreliable narrators,
a supernatural force that
twists perceptions constantly
and an overlying sense of
dread, Oculus is smart,
inventive horror.
MOVIESHORTS
It doesnt need gross-out
tactics or hollow surprises: a
well-paced script, phenom-
enal editing and strong acting
carry Oculus.The ending
may not please all viewers,
but it certainly doesnt inval-
idate the film, and it leaves
the door wide open for pos-
sible sequels.
Oculus is easily the
smartest, scariest and most
interesting horror film in
years. Its not the cheaply
made gore-porn that has
become popular in recent
years.
It deserves not one, but
two viewings: once just for
pure enjoyment and another
for the appreciation of
everything the film is able to
accomplish.

DRAFT DAY
Draft Day is the epitome
of everything football. It
brings the National Football
League to the big screen in
the most appealing way.
The film isnt like just any
other football movie. Instead
of focusing on whats on the
field, it zeroes in on what hap-
pens off of it. It brings a new
twist to the realm of inspira-
tional sports films.
Draft Day follows the
story of Sonny Weaver Jr.
(Kevin Costner), the general
manager of the Cleveland
Browns. The movie takes
place over the course of the
NFL draft.
It shows all the ins and outs
that Sonny has to maneuver
to make the Browns a team
designed by him, as well as the
best team in the league. He
faces adversity from potential
players, his team, other teams
around the NFL and even
Clevelands staff.
Kevin Costner is the right
man to be Sonny. He embod-
ies the character perfectly and
draws in audiences to empa-
thize with everything that is
going on around him.
However, Costner is not
new to the genre of sports
movies as he has had multiple
experiences, such as in Field
of Dreams and For Love
of the Game. There is great
chemistry between him and
Jennifer Garner who plays his
lover and co-worker.
The film is appealing not
only for football fans, but
casual movie-goers. It keeps
audiences on their feet and
draws in their attention for
the entirety of the movie.
Audiences should not only
see it for love of sports, but
for the films love of drama,
hints of comedy and bursts of
romance.
Draft Day is worth every
penny spent. It should be
seen to gain a better under-
standing of not only football,
but for a greater understand-
ing of what it means to be a
human in a stressful situation
that appears to have no happy
ending in sight.
Jeremy Wile
Q&A with Joe Casey of Protomartyr
COURTESY OF PROTOMARTYR
Detroits Protomartyr will bring its dark and brooding brand of punk rock to Raleigh tonight with Whatever Brains and Spray Paint.
Protomartyr is a punk
rock band based in Detroit.
The bands new album, Under
Color of Official Right, was
released earlier this month
and the band will play at
Slims in Raleigh tonight with
Spray Paint and Whatever
Brains.
Staff writer Stephanie
Zimmerman talked to the
bands singer, Joe Casey,
about Protomartyrs new
album and tour.
DIVERSIONS: Can you tell
me a bit about where the
bands name came from?
JOE CASEY: No place in
particular, I just always
thought it was an interesting
word. They always call Saint
Stephen the protomartyr of
the Christian church because
I guess he was the first guy
killed.
You know, I just kind of
liked the way it sounded.
Although Ive found that
actually saying it to people
they always ask for it to be
repeated.
Its not a very common
word. So maybe its not the
best band name ever.
DIVE: Where did the title
for the new record come
from?
JC: Thats a line from, I
wish I could remember spe-
cifically what the law is called,
but its the federal law against
corruption. And in Detroit we
just had a mayor get charged
federally with corruption.
And under color of official
right is when you use your
authority as an elected official
to get money illegally. And it
seemed like there was a lot of
corruption in the songs, so I
thought that would be a good
title.
DIVE: I read that this was
the first band that youve ever
been in. Is that true?
JC: Thats correct. Ive
always kind of wanted to
be in one, but I had like no
musical talent. I never played
an instrument. The only time
I ever tried was the first time
I tried to play the flute, and I
did it very badly so that was it
as far as any musical training.
But yes, I just always want-
ed to be in one and this was
the chance to do it.
DIVE: You said you did the
album artwork. Do you have
any artistic training?
JC: No, I went to school,
I went to the University of
Michigan for English. And
also film and video studies,
which is kind of just the his-
tory of movies and things like
that.
I kind of wanted to go to
art school when I was young-
er, but I went to some sort of
thing where artists will look
at your high school portfolio.
And the guy with the
school I wanted to go to, the
guy who was looking at my
portfolio, who had one eye
looking one way and one
looking the other, he didnt
like my stuff at all.
And that kind of bummed
me out of having any artistic
training or anything like that.
DIVE: How is the tour
going so far?
JC: So far its been great.
Were touring with a band
right now, Spray Paint, who
are really great guys, theyre
great to tour with, and we like
their music.
When touring with other
bands, you can like their
music all you want, but if
you dont like them much as
people then it can be pretty
awful. But the fact that were
going to see a baseball game
today in Baltimore, just for
the fun of it, just goes to show
that thats the fun of tour-
ing. Then when we play in
Raleigh, were meeting up
with Whatever Brains who
are from there, and so its
going to be kind of cool.
We have a couple, two
shows were going to be play-
ing with both bands.

Q&A with Hammer No More the Fingers
COURTESY OF CHURCHKEY RECORDS
Hammer No More the Fingers, a longtime Triangle trio based in Durham, plays its first Cats Cradle Back Room show tomorrow.
Hammer No More the
Fingers is a three-piece staple
in the local music scene.
Bassist Duncan Webster
talked with staff writer
Marcela Guimaraes about the
Triangles influence over the
years and his advice to up-
and-coming bands.
DIVERSIONS: Youre playing
at the new Cats Cradle back
room with Lilac Shadows and
Paperhaus, have you played
with them before?
DUNCAN WEBSTER: Weve
played with Lilac Shadows a
couple times over the years.
Those guys are awesome.
This is the first time with
Paperhaus, I believe theyre
from D.C. What Ive heard is
awesome, stoked to see them.
DIVE: How would you com-
pare playing local shows ver-
sus out-of-town shows?
DW: Its just a different
thing. Out-of-town shows can
be really fun, just kind of like
a road trip. You never know
what to expect, something
always goes wrong.
But when youre playing
locally, you get to see all your
friends and you know what to
expect. Its fun and adventur-
ous in its own way.
DIVE: Do you guys have any
weird or crazy tour stories?
DW: We were playing in
Wilmington one time and
were staying at a friends
house, and he had these
snakes that he had found in
the front yard and Joe, our
guitarist, was playing with
one of the snakes, and it like
bit him in the face. His face
started bleeding, and he had
no idea what kind of snake
it was.
Weve played some really
weird shows, like we played
at this biker rally one time.
Nobody had any idea who
we were. They paid us like
$500 to play this show and
we played at like 10 a.m. and
there was no one watching us.
Then the next act gets
onstage, and theyre like,
Hey guys, good sound
check. Were like, Uh, that
was our actual show. Weve
had a lot of those uncom-
fortable but funny.
DIVE: How do you think the
local music scene has influ-
enced you guys?
DW: In so many ways. This
place is just the greatest,
and it keeps growing. We all
grew up in Durham listen-
ing to Archers of Loaf and
Superchunk and all those
bands from around here.
They have influenced us so
much. We were just lucky to
grow up here and be around
music all the time.
You see these bands get
pretty successful and its just
really inspiring. It just makes
you want to get better and do
it all the time. Its just also
a good place to live and its
very centered on the arts and
music. When people go out
its not just to go drinking,
its to see their friends play.
Thats like a main event.
DIVE: What new do you
have planned?
DW: Weve just been talk-
ing about getting together
and write another album and
just do it really quickly and
not worry too much about
the details. Just make an
album thats just like us in our
garage.
DIVE: What advice do you
have for new local bands?
DW: Just to play as many
shows as you can, in town and
out of town. And go to other
peoples shows and make as
many friends as you can and
have a great time doing it.
Dont stress out too much
about trying to make it as a
rock star, I think being suc-
cessful is beside the point,
just enjoying it and doing as
much as you can. Its all about
the community and being a
part of the community.

Cloud Nothings
Here and Nowhere Else
Punk rock
Here and Nowhere Else is
the definition of garage punk
rock. Cloud Nothings, known
for its fuzzy, screeching gui-
tars and loud, fast vocals
continues that trend here. It
is an album that sticks to the
basics, one or two guitars, a
bass and drums with vocals,
yet is still rich and tires out
the listener with its rapid
pace.
The album demonstrates
the bands impressive ability
to change tempo on a dime.
Psychic Trauma begins as
a slower, more structured
song, but as the pre-chorus
hits, the song speeds up and
never slows down. Drumming
changes from floor toms and
bass to crashing cymbals and
hard snare hits and by the
end of the song, the guitar
morphs into all-over-the-
place, fuzzed-out chaos.
This most excellent chaos
appears all over the album.
On many of the songs, lead
singer Dylan Baldi must yell
to be heard over the scream-
ing guitars and thrashing
drums. However, the yelling
fits in perfectly with the pace
and sound of the music.
MUSICSHORTS
The style also helps to
create a menacing tone that
matches the somber lyrics
that Baldi sprawls over most
of the album. Even on the
more instrumentally upbeat
songs, like Im Not Part
of Me, Baldi still sings of
introspection, loneliness and
depression. And his singing
style adds so much emotion
to the lyrics that the listener
can hear him bleeding his
heart out on the record.
But, while the lyrics are
deep and personal, many of
the lines are repeated over
and over again within tracks.
Giving Into Seeing contains
a lot of the same lines said
over and over again before
finally getting to the songs
only chorus. This is not a sin-
gular happening, but it is also
not one that takes away from
the quality of the album.
Cloud Nothings uses the
basics of alternative rock to
create an album that never
lets up.
Will Jackson
The Pains of Being Pure at
Heart
Days of Abandon
Pop rock
The Pains of Being Pure
at Heart is back poppier
and catchier than ever with
the release of its third record
Days of Abandon.
A three-year absence has
been beneficial for the group,
the upbeat instrumentation
and falsetto melodies com-
bining for arguably its best
album yet.
Despite opening with the
melancholic and acoustic-
based Art Smock, the record
is gloriously cheerful on
tracks like Simple and Sure,
a buoyant love song with fan-
tastic female backing vocals
and relatable lyrics about
relationships.
Kelly continues the lively
first half, led by vocalist Peggy
Wang-East in a breezy num-
ber that sounds like it ll be
perfect for the summer.
One of the greatest aspects
of this record is its amaz-
ing consistency throughout.
There is not a mediocre song
among the bunch. From the
six-minute epic Beautiful
You to progressive rock bal-
lad Coral and Gold, the
band never falters.
The topic of the ups-and-
downs of love and relation-
ships does grow a little weari-
some, as does the occasional
overproduction with electron-
ics and vocals. For example,
Until the Sun Explodes
is dominated by too many
instruments and too much
noise.
The record is a fun listen
in a brief ten songs, know-
ing well not to wear out its
welcome.
The tracks may be too
similar and indistinguishable
here and there, but they are
just so light and enjoyable, its
hard not to be satisfied with
Days of Abandon.

Wood Ear
Electric Alone
Rock
Wood ear is a term that
refers to two edible fungi
used in Chinese cuisine.
Wood Ear is also a Durham
rock band that is about to
release Electric Alone, its
third release in eight years.
The band is defined by dark
undertones and distorted folk
rock. The four track EP keeps
this Southern sound while
pushing into new grounds
founded on a punk core.
The opening song, Pack
of Cards, sets the EP on its
course with dark lyrics and
arpeggiated chords. It also
begins the EPs narrative
with an awakening. Shake
It Off follows with a more
distorted guitar riff and a
slightly cerebral breakdown
but maintains continuity with
dream-like keyboard backing.
The narrator seems to find
comfort with his awakening
in the first track. He wants to
shake it off and release.
Electric Alone shifts in a
darker direction with A Kind
Tongue, a song with surfer
riffs, intertwining guitar and
gloomy, lonesome lyrics.
The aptly named final
track, New Energy, is void of
the pain present in the other
songs and the narrator lifts
the weight off his shoulders.
The song is twangy, but with
post-punk-influenced break-
downs.
Electric Alone confirms the
band is now creating music
at a higher frequency and
evolving.

News Thursday, April 17, 2014 The Daily Tar Heel 7
Through constant commu-
nication about the project, we
have maintained a good rela-
tionship with our tenants.
Merklein said they have
even introduced current ten-
ants to potential landlords at
new locations.
But Kens Quickie Mart
owner Larry Trollinger said
he has known the property
would be demolished since the
University bought it six years
ago, but no one has kept him
informed about the progress.
I found out they were
working to tear this place
down when the newspaper
printed it up last August,
Trollinger said. They didnt
tell me or Eddie Williams
from Time-Out anything.
Though Time-Out will
have to relocate eventually,
Green said he also wanted
to put an end to the rumor
that Time-Out will be closing
down and becoming a food
truck.
We do have a food truck,
but thats for special events
like weddings and fraternity
and sorority functions, he
said.
I want the students to
know that we are looking for
a new place close to down-
town within a two-block radi-
us of where we are now.
Trollinger said he doubted
the University would require
him to leave in the summer.
The days coming when I
wont be here anymore, I know
it. Trollinger said. But I dont
know how long that will be. It
could be another year or two.
When he is forced to leave
University Square, Trollinger
doesnt intend to relocate. He
said he has decided to retire
and close his 44-year-old
business rather than find a
different location.
Im 66, he said. Im just
gonna close it down.
Trollinger said he bought
the business from a man
named Ken in 1970 when it
was brand new.
Its an old faithful, he said.
Im not excited. Id rather go
out on my own terms.
Cynthia Lennon, owner of
Cynthias Tailor Shop, said she
found out she had to move her
store out of University Square
during a meeting held by the
University. She said she was
given a years notice she would
have to move and has since
relocated to University Mall.
The business reopened
in March 2013, but Lennon
said she lost customers in the
move, and business started off
slow.
You have to start over
and build business, she said.
You just have to get busy and
build clientele.

vent imminent death.
Its like when you get a
snake bite, so you go to the
hospital and get the antidote,
Waddell said. Naloxone is
the antidote.
Though naloxone has always
been available by prescription,
the North Carolina General
Assembly passed the 911 Good
Samaritan law last year, which
allows community groups, like
the Harm Reduction Coalition,
to distribute it.
When someone overdoes
on opioids, they become
unresponsive so they cant
give naloxone to themselves,
Stewart said. Thats why its
so important for family and
friends to be able to have
access to naloxone.
Since August, the Harm
Reduction Coalition distrib-
uted 1,409 kits containing
naloxone and received reports
of 53 successful overdose
reversals. No unsuccessful
reversals were reported.
Stewart said its also impor-
tant to prevent prescription
medications from getting into
unsafe hands.
Healthy Carolinians of
Orange County, a network of
agencies and citizens partner-
ing to promote health and
wellness in Orange County,
created drug drop boxes at
RX ABUSE
FROM PAGE 1
various municipal police sta-
tions where people can dispose
of used or unused medications.
This way they are dis-
posed properly and not sit-
ting around for someone else
to use, Stewart said.
Waddell said communities
must adopt new policies and
continue educating residents.
The policy changes could
be around what type of pro-
viders can provide this sort of
treatment measure or around
management changes.
Stewart said North Carolina
uses the Controlled Substances
Reporting System, which was
created to improve the states
ability to monitor people using
and possibly misusing pre-
scription medication.
When pharmacists dis-
pense a prescription, it gets
logged into that system so
physicians and other autho-
rized providers can look in the
system and see how many pre-
scriptions a person has gotten,
Stewart said. We can look at
a specific physician and their
prescribing practicing.
She said residents need to
realize that drug overdose isnt
a private problem.
Substance abuse doesnt
affect just the person, it affects
the community, Stewart said.
Its not an individual problem,
its the communitys problem.

187 course sections in six other
departments beginning in the
1994-95 academic year which
had initially been red-flagged
as being suspicious but ulti-
mately found no anomalies.
Of these, 135 were in the
departments of drama, com-
munication studies and exer-
cise and sports science.
Political science professor
Layna Mosley, who sits on the
Faculty Athletics Committee,
said the responsibility of moni-
toring clustering has been del-
egated to department heads.
She said there are many fac-
tors that lead to these trends.
Some clustering is the
result of certain courses sat-
isfying general education or
major requirements, she said
in an email. Other clustering
is the result of timing. Other
clustering reflects student
interest. Its not surprising to
see many student-athletes in,
for instance, EXSS classes.
Former drama chairwoman
McKay Coble said she was
one of several department
heads who was asked to speak
with Martin in 2012 and
later was told by the Office of
Undergraduate Education that
faculty needed to keep on eye
on courses with athlete enroll-
ment more than 35 percent.
One of these courses was
Stagecraft, which met or
exceeded this threshold in 10
of 12 semesters starting in fall
2006. Coble said much of this
was due to convenience.
I taught Drama 160
(Stagecraft) for years and while
several student-athletes told
me the time slot was ideal for
their training schedule I am
also happy to report that many
went on to take other, more
advanced classes, she said.
Coble said no courses were
altered specifically for athletes.
I know some Drama classes
are on a list somewhere, she
said. I am happy that we are
popular and all our courses are
taught with the rigor appropri-
ate to the subject matter.
Stagecraft instructor David
Navalinsky said the numbers
do not surprise him.
The student-athletes work
and play together why not go
to class together, he said. It is
very rare that I have a student
in class that does not at least
have one friend in the class and
CLUSTERING
FROM PAGE 1
Its making everyone
aware that we are working
on it, said Joy Renner, the
chairwoman of the Faculty
Athletics Committee.
If we had come out
strongly one way or another
then we would have alien-
ated people, but by remaining
neutral, we have been able
to hear a lot of different per-
spectives.
School of Medicine profes-
sor Bruce Cairns, a faculty
chairman candidate, said the
letter was written to remain
neutral on the accusations
put forth in the letter by
retired faculty.
This is not a responsive
letter, but a reflective letter
on what we are doing at this
institution, Cairns said.
The committee also
touched on the subject of sex-
ual assault and the impend-
ing report from the Sexual
Assault Task Force.
Folt said the report has
taken more time than was
originally expected but said
she is glad the task force is
taking a meticulous approach
to creating the report.
She said if the report gets
to her before summer, the
University will be able to
make any necessary changes
to sexual assault policy during
the break.
The task forces final meet-
ing of the academic year is
April 24, but a UNC spokes-
woman said the draft is not
expected to be completed.

CHANCELLOR
FROM PAGE 1
By Deborah Harris
Staff Writer
Sophomore Calvin Snyder
did not become a biochem-
istry major for the work, the
late nights, or tons of lab
reports he has to finish it
is because he likes the experi-
ments.
Its the closest to magic
you can get, Snyder said. I
can make things explode, do
all the color changes, all this
stuffthats why you want to
be a scientist.
Yet Snyder, along with
UNC sophomores Mihir
Pershad, Charlotte Story
and Zach Dvorak, have seen
what they believe is a huge
disconnect in the educational
system students are not
prepared for the growing
number of jobs in the STEM
fields, including science,
technology, engineering and
mathematics.
The group created
SUCCEED Inc. to address the
gap, by changing the exist-
ing mentality that science is
boring.
By the time (kids) get
to college, theyre not even
interested in science, because
theyve never had fun sci-
ence, Pershad said. Our goal
is to make science interactive
and hands-on.
SUCCEED takes surplus
lab equipment from univer-
sity classes and biotechnology
companies and redistributes
it to schools, along with
complete instructions for
experiments and worksheets
designed to meet curriculum
standards.
In January, the group
applied to the CUBE, a
two-year social innovation
incubator at the Campus
Y, and recieved resources
including money, mentorship
and free legal services. So far,
SUCCEED has been able to
provide 400 students with
kits in several Chapel Hill-
Carrboro middle schools.
The group plans on
launching their pilot pro-
gram this fall in all four
middle schools in the Chapel
Hill-Carrboro City Schools
system. Pershad said the
apparently many times that
friend is also a teammate.
English department chair-
woman Beverly Taylor also
said course popularity spreads
by word of mouth among stu-
dent groups, a trend she does
not think is specific to athletes.
Everybodys very aware of
the issue because of the current
situation, and the things we
read in the news too, she said.
And so we do pay attention to
clustering of athletes because
thats the group thats really
more identifiable, honestly. I
dont know if theres a cluster of
musicians in a class I teach.
From 2003 to 2012 several
sections of ENGL 100, 101
and 102 contained more than
30 percent athletes.
In addition, one particular
section of ENGL 100 which
met every second summer
session beginning in 2005
consisted of at or near 100
percent athlete enrollment.
Taylor said it is not uncom-
mon for athletes to enroll in
ENGL 100, a noncredit intro-
ductory writing course.
They werent set up just for
athletes, but for any student
that came in that needed that
kind of jump start, she said.
Taylor said the clustering
has not had an effect on the
learning environment.
I dont feel we have any sec-
tions of courses in this depart-
ment that are dumbed down,
or where people are just known
for giving easy grades and
thats the attraction, she said.
Several courses in Exercise
and Sports Science contained
more than 30 percent athletes
in a number of 100 and 200-
level courses. One section of
Sport Psychology which met
each summer from 2006 to
2008 contained at least 65
percent athletes.
Department chairman
Darin Padua declined to com-
ment for this story.
Similar trends were
seen in lower level courses
in the Department of
Communication Studies.
Chairman Ken Hillis also
declined to comment.
Clustering is a familiar
subject to Dylan Malagrino,
who teaches sports law at
Western State College of Law
in Fullerton, C.A., and partici-
pated in swimming and track
and field when he attended
Syracuse University.
Malagrino said many of his
teammates ended up switching
majors after their freshman
year due either to scheduling
conflicts, or finding that the
courses were too challenging.
I know I had teammates
that came in thinking they
were going to do architecture
or electrical engineering and
they wound up doing infor-
mation studies or speech
communication just because
they found it was more flex-
ible for the athlete.
Malagrino served as head
of the NCAA Student-Athlete
Advisory Committee until
2004 and does not see clus-
tering as inherently negative,
but it depends.
The question would be
whether or not the athletes are
being pressured into these eas-
ier courses, and I think thats a
concern that I would have if I
see clustering, he said.
[email protected]
SUCCEED makes science fun
goal is to expand to Durham
and Chatham counties, set-
ting up chapters at Duke
University and N.C. State
University.
For the student, the look
on their face when they see
a picture, versus the look on
their face when theyre look-
ing through a microscope and
see something moving its
something you cant really
measure when youre look-
ing at a budget sheet, said
Dvorak.
Dvorak cited the Bill and
Melinda Gates Foundations
research, which shows that
1.2 million job openings will
occur in the STEM fields
by 2018, but no one will
be qualified enough to fill
them.
SUCCEED is partner-
ing with the Morehead
Planetarium, which has
taken its own steps not only
to engage students in STEM,
but also to increase the diver-
sity of those students as well.
The planetarium hosts sci-
ence camps and year-round
programs to engage students
in science. On April 5, the
planetarium hosted nearly
150 students from around
North Carolina at the first
annual STEMville Science
Symposium. Crystal Adams,
director of external programs,
said research shows that
children between 4th and 8th
grade especially girls and
minorities show a decrease
of interest in science educa-
tion.
Jamila Simpson,assistant
dean for diversity and stu-
dent services at N.C. State
University, attended the
symposium to engage the
kids with fun science demon-
strations in the planetarium.
Her hope is that the students
study science or, at the very
least, become scientifically
literate.
Over time, they begin to
see science as just about the
textbooks, or science as just
about the answers, Simpson
said. Science is partly that,
but its also about the ques-
tions.

DENIED BY DUKE
DTH/BERNADINE DEMBOSKY
Attacker Sydney Holman looks for an opening to score during
the Wednesday night game against Duke.
WOMENS LACROSSE: DUKE 7, UNC 6 (OT)
By Brandon Chase
Staff Writer
She didnt want to be con-
soled.
Freshman Sydney Holmans
father, brother and mother
huddled around her as tears
streamed down her face. She
did not want to believe what
had just happened.
What had just happened
was surely the most agonizing
loss of the attackers young
career.
The No. 3 North Carolina
womens lacrosse team fell to
No. 8 Duke 7-6 in overtime,
marking UNCs third loss in
their last four games, dropping
the Tar Heels to 12-3 overall
with a 5-2 mark in ACC play.
The Blue Devils Karrin
Maurer scored a diving goal
that bounced through goalie
Megan Wards legs and into
the back of the net with 26
seconds left in overtime, and
the Tar Heels were unable to
generate anything but a last-
second heave as the Kenan
Stadium clock hit triple
zeroes and Dukes players and
coaches stormed the field.
But before the madness
of the final seconds, the Blue
Devils employed a familiar
tactic that has permeated
all three of North Carolinas
losses on the season slow-
ing the game down.
Coach Jenny Levy was
quick to mention Dukes strat-
egy of holding onto the ball as
long as possible and her teams
sloppiness when it finally
secured possession as the key
reason for UNCs defeat.
Obviously, a slow tempo
was Dukes strategy, she said.
And when that happens you
cant have more turnovers than
the other team because we
had to make every possession
count. Unfortunately in the
womens lacrosse game, stalling
is part of the game. But it does
work obviously, and we have to
play better. We cant worry that
another teams stalling.
The Tar Heels like to get up
and down the field as quickly
as possible, and that shows
as they lead the nation with
an average of 16.71 goals per
game. But the Blue Devils neu-
tralized UNCs high-powered
offense by holding onto the ball
for up to five minutes at a time.
Despite the plodding
nature of the contest, both
teams had chances to win
before Maurers goal ulti-
mately decided the outcome.
With the score tied 6-6 at
the end of regulation, Dukes
Sydney Peterson hit the post
from point-blank range, giving
UNC new life in overtime.
UNC looked destined to
take the lead in overtime,
which consists of two 3-min-
ute periods, when Holman hit
a wide-open Molly Hendrick
streaking toward the goal.
But Hendrick uncharac-
teristically dropped the ball,
allowing the Blue Devils to
escape a sure goal from the
Lassiter, UNC baseball
walks off against Elon
By Aaron Dodson
Assistant Sports Editor
For a while, it appeared
Landon Lassiter wouldnt
have a chance.
But his teammates gave
him one.
Bunt single. Two bases
reached on Elon errors lead-
ing to a run. An intentional
walk and an RBI sac fly.
Lassiter watched as the
North Carolina baseball team
erased a two-run in the bot-
tom of the ninth inning to tie
the game at 4-4 with one out.
The Tar Heels gave Lassiter
another chance at the plate.
The sophomore third base-
man approached the batters
box with the bases loaded and
soon saw three balls light up on
the scoreboard. Just one strike.
He stepped away from the
plate for a meeting with head
coach Mike Fox. But little was
said. The plan was to ice the
pitcher, just as football coach-
es do to kickers. Because one
pitch outside separated UNC
from the win.
But Lassiter swung, fouling
off two straight pitches.
The count full, he already
knew what he had to do.
Im just trying to do any-
thing I could to hit it in the
outfield, he said. A sac fly wins
it. And I was just trying to get a
pitch to hit it out there.
And with the pinging sound
of Lassiters bat, the UNC
third baseman seized the
chance to erase his season full
of struggles at the plate, seven
scoreless innings on the night
and the disappointment of
a Tuesday rainout that post-
poned UNCs long-awaited
matchup with rival N.C. State
at Durham Bulls ballpark.
The ball dropped right over
the Elon center fielder, scor-
ing junior Michael Russell to
give Lassiter a walk-off hit
and the Tar Heels a 5-4 win
against Elon Wednesday.
We were all excited last
night to play N.C. State, said
pitching coach Scott Forbes.
I could tell on the bus our
guys were ready to play. And
then I had a feeling this game
might be rough to start as
far as having the energy. But
somehow we found a way to
win the game.
Theres no doubt Lassiter
left the field the hero after
being swarmed by a cleared
dugout as he rounded first
celebrating.
But every Batman has a
Robin. And on Wednesday,
Lassiters Robin was fresh-
man Brandon Whiteford.
After five scoreless innings,
Fox knew his team needed to
get things going. But to do so
BASEBALL: UNC 5, ELON 4
he turned to an unusual sus-
pect, placing his faith in the
freshman Whiteford, who had
no hits on the season in just
three at-bats before the game.
Whiteford, grab a bat.
Start swinging. Youre going
to lead off next inning,
Whiteford recalled of his
coachs words. I got off the
bench, took my sweatshirt off
and got ready to hit. Thats
about it. You just have to stay
focused, stay within yourself
and do your job.
The freshman went in to
pinch hit at the top of the sixth,
drawing a walk, advancing to
second on a wild pitch and
scoring a run.
His night was over with just
a circle around the bases. But
hed done his job, sparking
his team to cut the deficit 3-2,
leaving no doubt in his mind
the comeback was in full effect.
Whiteford gave the team
hope that became contagious,
carrying over to each player
and into the ninth inning.
Then they gave Landon
Lassiter a chance, who seized
it down to the last pitch.

Ward said that although the
loss stings now, there are plen-

heading into its final regular
season game of the year and
ultimately into the postseason.
We just need to have a

When teams are stalling on

Softball drops 2 against JMU
SOFTBALL: JMU 5, UNC 1; JMU 7, UNC 2
By Logan Ulrich
Staff Writer
If the sixth inning was
removed from the game, the
North Carolina softball team
might have had more of a
chance.
The Tar Heels allowed
James Madison to score
three runs in the sixth inning
of both games to pull away
during Wednesdays double-
header, losing both games by
scores of 5-1 and 7-2. The two
defeats drop UNC to 22-22
overall and also mark the first
time the softball program has
ever lost to JMU.
We just werent on our
toes as much as we needed to
be, and they took advantage
of that, said sophomore sec-
ond baseman Erin Satterfield.
JMU opened up a 2-1 lead
through four innings in the
first game before sophomore
relief pitcher Jailyn Ford
entered the game. UNC failed
to score the rest of the way
and kept it close until the
sixth inning, where they were
buried.
We got two quick outs,
said freshman pitcher Kendra
Lynch. One thing just leads
to another.
In the second game, UNC
doubled its scoring, but after a
home run by Satterfield, Ford
came in and shut down UNC.
UNC also allowed JMU to
score all seven of its runs in the
first and sixth innings.
When we lose focus,
things kind of all build off of
each other, Lynch said.
Satterfield was one of the
few bright spots for the Tar
Heels. She had hits in both
games resulting in runs for
UNC, the second a home run.
Sophomore shortstop Kristen
Brown added two hits and an
RBI in the second game.
But the potent Tar Heels
offense, fresh off a 15-run
performance against Georgia
Tech on Sunday, could not
generate anything close to a
similar performance.
Multiple Tar Heels credited
Fords pitching for keeping
their offense off balance. Ford
pitched nine innings in total,
allowing only one hit while
striking out 16 Tar Heel batters.
Her rise ball was her deadliest
weapon, luring multiple Tar
Heels into swinging at pitches
they had planned not to.
We just didnt make the
right adjustments, Satterfield
said. We need to figure out
how to pull it together the last
couple innings and stay with
the game plan and what we
know how to do.
While not completely to
blame, playing on the road in
the middle of the week had an
adverse effect. This year, UNC
has a 3-9 record in midweek
games. That was apparent in
the defensive collapses near
the end of both games.
I thought for the most
part we made the plays,
Lynch said.
Just a bad day.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
FEATURED ONLINE READER COMMENT
Context for the
chancellors absence
TO THE EDITOR:
I am responding to the
April 16 letter Is Chancellor
Folt a Hypocrite? with
important context for
Chancellor Carol Folts
absence at Phi Beta Kappas
ceremony. On behalf of the
chancellor, I would like to
extend her congratulations
to the newest members of
Phi Beta Kappa for their
academic achievements at
the highest level. April is the
busiest month at Carolina
for award ceremonies and
end-of-year celebrations,
and chancellor Folt receives
hundreds of invitations
from campus and commu-
nity organizations. Although
she attends as many events
as her calendar permits, she
cannot make them all.
On Monday, the Phi Beta
Kappa ceremony that began
at 4 p.m. conflicted with
two events she attended
at the Student Union: the
Undergraduate Research
Symposium, which show-
cased the outstanding work
of more than 140 undergrad-
uates, and an open house
sponsored by the Student
Advisory Committee to the
Chancellor that offered the
opportunity for students to
ask questions of chancel-
lor Folt and discuss their
thoughts about Carolina.
That evening she visited
with students at UNC Hillel
for a Passover Seder before
attending the Rammy
Awards, which honored our
students-athletes accom-
plishments in the classroom
and in competition. The tim-
ing of the Rammy Awards
did not conflict with the Phi
Beta Kappa ceremony.
Chancellor Folt is proud
of all of our students and
makes every effort to rec-
ognize and celebrate their
success.

Public Affairs
UNC dining halls
deserve praise
TO THE EDITOR:
The recent outcry over
mice at dining halls makes
it clear that most students
are unaware of the kitchen
conditions at restaurants.
While its more pleasant
to believe that all eateries
are completely pest-free,
this simply is not the case.
If health inspectors hap-
pen to catch evidence of
pests, the restaurant is
often issued a warning and
reinspected in 6 months.
Because pests are inherent
to the food service industry,
a restaurant loses at most
two points on its inspection
score. Despite the claims
of mice, I have not come
across more than the occa-
sional fruit fly while dining
on campus. As they serve
thousands of meals per day,
we should regard the infre-
quent bug as a rarity and a
feat worth praising.

EDITORIAL CARTOON By Ngozika A. Nwoko, Chapman and Hilligan, [email protected]
Repent,
heed the
end of
days
T
he trees are breeding,
the tour groups are in
full swarm and the aca-
demic end times are upon us.
I dont have my cap and gown
yet, but I already feel that sickly
mix of dread and apathy that
means our time has come. And
sure enough, theres less than a
month until roughly a quarter
of us ride off in the hellish char-
iot of post-graduate life, pulled
by a hairy mutant beast out of
Revelations and sponsored by
University Career Services.
But while Im basking and
baking in my own apathy,
twiddling my thumbs as I
await the four horsemen of the
collegiate apocalypse (seniori-
tis, last goodbyes, unemploy-
ment and alcohol abuse), I fig-
ured Id take stock of my four
years here and see how things
are looking (generally not well
is the answer).
After cleaning up trash, vac-
uuming under everything and
bleaching a couple of surfaces, I
think I managed to make some-
thing useful out of the greasy
clutter that constitutes my four
most recent years of existence.
Heres a couple of life lessons
Ive managed to scrounge up
(and when I say scrounge, I
really mean scrounge):
1. Hammocking is not
permitted in the Arboretum
is something people will tell
you from time to time, but
I put it in quotes just now
because I do it anyway. Nature
was meant to be (respectfully)
lived in, not jealously guarded
like a Lego model of the Death
Star.
2. Burritos are tasty but
gross to eat, grosser to throw
and grossest to have thrown at
you. But still tasty.
3. Once youve died of deep,
soul-killing embarrassment at
least once, youre pretty much
immortal as far as dignity is
concerned. All it took for me
was a motley crew of cops and
librarians gawking at me in the
UL at four in the morning as I
held a cardiac event recorder
up to the phone for about five
minutes and let it loudly beep,
deedle and whirr its signals
through the mouthpiece like
a cyborg E.T. quite literally
phoning home (Weve all been
there before).
Now I roam the earth like
an untouchable spirit, numbly
making a fool out of myself like
Hamlets dad or Bruce Willis
in The Sixth Sense, freely
expressing myself and making
myself felt and heard, but large-
ly unconcerned with how people
might judge me or my actions.
So just be yourself, you know?
4. Learning can be like, fun
and stuff.
5. Theres no limit to how
many library books you can
check out! My personal record
is 70. (Overdue fees get their
own column in my monthly
budget.)
6. Young adults at the aver-
age age of graduation are still
at high risk for serious mental
illnesses like schizophrenia!
No big surprise there
though. Weve made it through
four years of routinized stress
and mental trauma just in
time to be flung out into the
unstructured void thereaf-
ter and expected to cobble
together a meaningful exis-
tence with nothing but hope,
rubber bands and a liberal arts
education.
So yeah, support systems
are good. Also deep breaths!
Take a lot of them.

Rather, a better strategy
would be to make the infor-

multiple times per day. The

includes extensive infor-

polling places and absentee

students do not know to
look there on their own,
and the necessary informa-
tion can be hard to find.
Therefore, a concise

by the Board of Elections
and distributed via email
to all students who live in
dorms, perhaps through
emails sent out by resident
advisers or members of
community governments.
This is the best approach
to make sure students see
the information and are
reminded to vote. Most
students must check their
email multiple times a day
for updates about their
classes or extracurricular
activities so they would be
sure to see the information
almost instantaneously.
The email should pro-
vide the information most
pertinent to students
the day of the election, the
closest polling place, what
they need to bring and
information on absentee
voting for students who
want to vote in the home
counties elections.
An advisory email
would be useful for
student voters.
T
he town of
Carrboro recently
decided to hire a
consultant to explore the
feasibility of a pay-as-you-
throw solid waste disposal
system. Citizens would
be charged a fee based on
the volume or weight of
the trash they produce.
The main objective of
this research is to find a
system that would give
neighborhoods an incen-
tive to produce less waste.
While the overall idea
is great, the proposed
system needs revision.
The system calls for the

implementation of a credit
system. The resulting rev-
enues would be given as
a credit to the neighbor-
hoods where the money
came from. It would then
be allocated however the
neighborhood sees fit.
This proposal presents
several flaws. For example,
if the credit system is
implemented on top of the
current property tax rate
already partially allocated
towards solid waste dis-
posal, Carrboro would be
double-dipping into citi-
zens pockets. Essentially,
citizens would have to pay
for their trash removal
twice: by paying the cur-
rent tax while also paying
for the new system.
The neighborhood
credit system would give
citizens a chance to join
in a participatory budget
system meaning citi-
zens would get to choose
where the collected public
funds go. However, this
system is unfair because
it would force citizens
to pay more than they
need to for trash disposal.
Citizens should not be
forced to pay extra for
disposal if the additional
revenue collected would
be going towards an addi-
tional local perk.
Carrboro should con-
tinue exploring ways to
encourage citizens to
reduce waste output per-
haps even a revision of this
proposal. But forced rider-
ship is not the way to do so.
Pay-as-you-throw
proposal needs
revision.
