Seven Republicans have filed to

Some students at UNC have self-published novels
By Juanita Chavarro
Staff Writer
Senior Emily Palmer writes to tell the
stories she sees play out in everyday life.
Palmer, a journalism and global studies dou-
ble major, is one of the many student authors
at UNC who have already published books or
are working toward publishing their works.
Palmer self-published The Gingerbread
Philosophy, a coming-of-age novel, during her
sophomore year after working on it for three
years.
When youre writing a novel, its a com-
mitted relationship youre living and
breathing it, she said.
By the time I finished the novel, I
almost felt displaced because I had been so
ingrained in that world and in that charac-
ters mind, that to then no longer be working
on it was really a challenge.
The summer before Palmer started col-
lege, she created a strict schedule, writing
every morning from 9 a.m. to noon.
Writing any work of fiction is incredibly
difficult, she said.
Without those days, if I had given in every
day that I didnt feel the inspiration to write,
I never would have written anything. Once
I developed that routine, everything else fell
more into place.
Palmer published her book through
Lulu.com, a self-publishing website. The
Gingerbread Philosophy is available as a
free eBook and as a paperback copy for about
$12, of which she earns about $3 per book.
Palmer said she has made $255 from selling
85 copies of her novel so far.
Alaina Bainbridge, a freshman creative
writing minor, wrote her novel, As it is in
Heaven, in high school as part of a creative
writing class and had it published through her
teachers publishing house.
Bainbridge said she started her book the
summer before her senior year of high school
thinking that it would be a short story, but
after writing the first 50 pages, she realized
she had a novel on her hands.
The book is sort of in the same vein as
The Hunger Games, and its a little bit futur-
istic, she said. Its basically three different
stories within one novel. Each story takes
place in a different time period.
Bainbridge said she was inspired to con-
tinue writing her novel after falling in love
with her characters.
I think a lot of people have this idea that
you see leaves turn or you see the sun set and
you get inspired to write something beautiful,
she said.
That wasnt my case at all. Really, I just
started something, and it sort of grabbed my
interest for whatever reason.
Bainbridge said the year-and-a-half-long
process of writing, editing and publishing
her 300-page book was a learning experi-
ence, and she now knows what shes doing,
which has helped with the recent completion
of her second novel.

N.C. candidates are posturing for campaign
season as the filing deadline for the 2014 mid-
term elections draws to a close Friday at noon.
Internal tensions have been brewing within
the state Republican Party en route to the pri-
mary, said Ferrel Guillory, a UNC journalism
professor and expert on Southern politics.
This is a state thats narrowly divided and
very competitive, he said.
Race to D.C.
Incumbent Sen. Kay Hagan (D-N.C.) faces
an uncertain road to re-election in a state
that has drastically changed since she cruised
to victory in 2008.
She will likely clash with N.C. House
Speaker Thom Tillis, who has been a leader
in the new era of Republican control.
Tillis has a 2 point edge on Hagan, accord-
ing to the left-leaning Public Policy Polling.
Hagan is backed by a state Democratic
Party that has found itself leaderless as strife
tears at its top levels.
Seven GOP candidates filed in the Senate
race as of Thursday night.
Greg Brannon, a Cary physician who
faced a civil lawsuit earlier this month, and
Heather Grant, a nurse practitioner from
Wilkes County, follow Tillis at 13 percent.
There are other candidates in this race
who reflect the fractiousness of the Republican
Party, he said. Brannon seems to have some
ties to the tea party, Mark Harris is a minister
its an expression of the continuing influence of
conservative Christians in the Republican party.
Hagans only Democratic opponent is Will
Stewart, who has no experience in politics.
Hes over troubled water
Clay Aiken will compete once again to hit
the right note this time, with N.C. voters.
The American Idol runner-up will run
against U.S. Rep Renee Ellmers in N.C.s

Tar Heels cant match
Fighting Irish in rout
By Pat James
Staff Writer
The temperature was in single digits outside
Purcell Pavilion Thursday, but the No. 14 North
Carolina womens basketball felt the warmth of
No. 2 Notre Dames hot shooting as the Tar Heels
fell 100-75.
The undefeated Fighting Irish (28-0, 15-0 ACC)
played intensely from the opening-tip with Kayla
McBride taking the ball to the hoop with her right
hand and executing a layup only 20 seconds in.
McBrides layup was the start of a 10-2 run
fueled by four UNC turnovers that forced associ-
ate head coach Andrew Calder to burn a timeout
barely two minutes into the game.
Calder said the Fighting Irishs ACC-best scor-
ing defense troubled the team from the begin-
ning forcing UNC to revert to other options
throughout the night.
They understood exactly what we were trying
to accomplish in each play first option, second
option, Calder said. We were having to go to

Undefeated Notre Dame beat UNC
100-75 on Thursday night.
By Sarah Headley
Staff Writer
It all started with a tweet.
Jim Dean, executive vice chancellor and
provost, recieved a tweet during the North
Carolina mens basketball game against
Wake Forest that criticized the Minds on a
Mission commercial.
The four-year-old advertisement uti-
lizes stop-motion animation and paper
mache to depict the worldwide impact
UNC minds can have.
Dean responded to the tweet with
#workingonit, garnering mass unex-
pected responses.
Dean said he received even more
tweets after Adam Lucas, a GoHeels.com
basketball columnist, responded to his
tweet with, Best news of the weekend.
It is probably the first time Ive seen
that sort of thing, Dean said. I had no idea
what was going to happen as a function of
that.
Dean said newly appointed Vice
Chancellor for Communications and
Public Affairs Joel Curran is in the begin-
ning stages of producing a new ad for the
2014-15 academic year, but Curran said
it is still too early to speculate what their
creative plans will be.
The Minds on a Mission campaign
hasnt been refreshed, Curran said.
Were in the process now of planning
what that could be.
But he said some individuals requested
that the former PSA return, which features
renowned journalist Charles Kuralt.
Apparently a lot of people have nostal-
gia for the old one with Charlie Kuralt,
he said.
Lucas agreed and said the current ad
doesnt live up to the previous one.
I think that commercial is not as great
as Carolina is, he said.
But Lindsey Bennett, vice president of
Capstrat, the company that designed Minds
on a Mission, said branding ads run for
many years before being replaced because
they play during major sporting events,
rather than on primetime television.
Its a misconception that they get
replaced, or refreshed yearly, partly
because they dont need to be replaced
yearly, Bennett said. Theyre created to
have a pretty good shelf life.
Bennett, who was also the creative
director of Minds on Mission, said
Capstrat reviewed different options for
the commercial with former Chancellor
Holden Thorp and others involved in uni-
versity relations.
The objects that are in the spot are
direct references to real projects that stu-
dents, faculty and alumni are working on
across the globe, she said.
Bennett said she did not know why
some people do not like the branding ad.
Part of me guesses they want to see
something new because its been around
for over four years, she said.
I would seriously doubt that people no
longer believe the story it tells I would
say that story is still as relevant today as it
was in 2010.
Junior Jackson Boone said the ad is
outdated.
Ive seen that since I was in high school,
and I feel like its time for a new one.

Bitelabs business plan is simple, really. It just wants to biopsy celebri-
ties including West, James Franco and Jennifer Lawrence and grow
salami from their cells. So cutting-edge, very hipster. Wow.
The business says it is all about bioethical issues and social commen-
tary on the way celebrity culture is consumed.
But for now, we ll just have to salivate over the thought of eating Yeezy,

At a Wednesday night quidditch practice at Ehringhaus Field, Lee Hodge jumps before
attempting to score while Jessica McAfee defends. The teams next match is Saturday at UVa.
QUIDDITCH IS A KEEPER
By Jamie Strassman
Staff Writer
While they might not be able to cast an
expelliarmus spell to disarm their opponent,
beginning next fall, UNC Quidditch is set to be
named an official club sport.
The team, on track to be the Carolinas
Quidditch Conferences regular season cham-
pions and North Carolina Division champions
for the second official year in a row, will now
be headed to the Quidditch World Cup for the
first time come April.
As a student organization, the team has the
right to reserve campus facilities and pay for
the opportunity to host guests. But student
organizations are the last in line to reserve
practice fields, and as a result the team prac-
tices from 10 p.m. to midnight.
Dylan Meyer, president of the organization,
listed inconvenient practice times as one of the
main reasons the team decided to apply for
club status, as well as a need for improved sup-
port from the University.
It gives us direct access to more medical
resources if anyone gets hurt. Rather than having
to go through campus health, we can go straight
to sports med without a referral, he said.
Clay Ballard, vice president of the team,
added that club sport status would help the
team with recruitment and publicity.
It really kind of legitimizes ourselves as a
sport, he said. And so when were recruiting
for next fall, we can tell people that theyre
going to be playing on a club sport.
Meyer added that Campus Recreation
informational materials dispersed to freshmen
at the beginning of the year will now include
UNC Quidditch as a sports club.
They do paid advertising for us, he said.
Though approved this year, the Quidditch
team was initially denied when it applied for
sports club status last year.
Some of the reservations sports clubs had
was the physicality, basically the dangers
inherent in a sport that is so young that its
rules havent settled into what they should be
appropriately, Meyer said.
Other schools around the country have had
similar concerns, and now that UNCs organi-
zation has been accepted as a club sport, it is to
serve as a tool for the International Quidditch
Association with regard to rule writing.
The IQA is a nonprofit established in 2010,
which governs Quidditch regulations and hosts
25 annual events including the World Cup. It
plans to use UNC as a means to develop rules
that better ensure athlete safety.
What the IQA is wanting from this is to be
able to say UNC sports med and UNC sports
clubs accept this, Meyer said.
Max Miceli, a captain who is also sports writer
for The Daily Tar Heel, said the team is unique.
Ive been a part of football teams and
lacrosse teams and they all say, Oh its a
family-like atmosphere, but no its not quite as
much of a family-like atmosphere, he said.
Were constantly hanging out, and were
constantly around each other.
The UNC team is
set to become an
ocial club sport
come fall 2014
Memento
of late DKE
president
missing
By Jenny Surane
City Editor
After his death, Courtland Smiths
parents donated his beloved kayak
paddle to Delta Kappa Epsilon so the
fraternity would have something to
remember him by and now that trea-
sured item has gone missing from the
fraternity house.
When Smith lived in the Delta
Kappa Epsilon house on Columbia
Street, he always had his kayak propped
against a door somewhere in the house.
Smith, former president of the frater-
nity, was shot to death near Greensboro
by police in August 2009, according to
the State Bureau of Investigation.
We want to stress that it means a lot
to everyone here his parents come
back to the fraternity house and the
pledge brothers, said the current fra-
ternity president Ward Wood.
We dont want to get mad at any-
body and we just want to get it back
because it means so much to us.
Members of the fraternity arent sure
when the paddle which has two blue
paddle heads and a black handle with
Smiths name and phone number
disappeared from the home. Wood said
the paddle was mounted to the wall on
a plaque about ten feet off the ground.
It would have been extremely hard
for anybody to get up there, Wood said.
It had to have happened in the past
couple of days.
Elwyn Bridges, a member of the
Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity and the
vice president of finance for the Inter-
Fraternity Council, said he remembers a
time last year when the house was get-
ting painted and a painter accidentally
splashed some paint on the plaque.
He said the members of the frater-
nity immediately took the paddle off
the wall and scrubbed it clean.
Its not necessarily like its a shrine,
Bridges said. But theres no animosity,
no punishment, no reciprocation. If it
somehow gets back, it would mean a lot
to everybody.
House manager Meg Miller has
worked with the fraternity for almost
20 years, and she said she and Smith
were particularly close.
I think it must have happened
(Wednesday) night, Miller said.
Because I look at that thing everyday,
sometimes I talk to it.
Miller said Smiths family often visits
the fraternity for the groups annual
Habitat for Humanity home build in
Smiths honor.
She said the fraternity hopes to have
the paddle back before the build which
is slated to happen in just a few weeks.
Im devastated, Miller said. I cant
believe someone knew what they were
stealing when they stole it.
Anyone with information about the
missing kayak paddle should contact
Wall.

Courtland Smiths old paddle
has vanished from the
fraternity house.
In-state tuition boundaries explored
By Lindsay Carbonell
Staff Writer
The definition of in-state stu-
dents might be broadening next
year, inviting military students and
some in neighboring states to pay
lower rates in the UNC system
blurring the bounds of tuition cat-
egories amid swelling out-of-state
tuition rates.
In June, the UNC-system Board
of Governors discussed options
for new policy on nonresident
enrollment, including lowering
out-of-state tuition for students
living within 25 miles of near-
border campuses, including UNC-
Asheville, UNC-Charlotte and
Appalachian State University.
The board voted last Friday to
ask for a repeal of high out-of-state
tuition hikes in May.
Robert Nunnery, president of
the UNC-system Association of
Student Governments, said some
states bordering North Carolina,
such as Tennessee, offer in-state
tuition to North Carolinians near
the border. He said discussion
around this topic is a legislative
priority for ASG.
And for universities like N.C.
A&T University, which had the
lowest in-state enrollment at 63
percent of the student body in
2012, recruiting students, includ-
ing those from out-of-state, is cru-
cial to keeping in-state tuition low.
Hannah Gage, emeritus mem-
ber of the Board of Governors, said
many campuses have seen declin-
ing enrollment due to incremental
increases in GPA and SAT require-
ments but members remain
skeptical of attracting out-of-state
students.
I think the general feeling is that
we are a North Carolina university
paid for by North Carolina taxpay-
ers, and North Carolinians should
be our top priority, Gage said.
Gage said N.C. A&T started a
pilot program last month, when
the board gave the university per-
mission to raise its out-of-state
enrollment cap from 18 to 25 per-
cent. The program will serve as a
guide for discussions next year.
Extra revenue from out-of-state
students will go to need-based aid
for in-state students, Nunnery said.
Military students are another
group that could receive in-state
tuition.
Currently, in-state tuition is
given to active-duty military mem-
bers and their dependents regard-
less of where they live, but military
veterans who were stationed out
of state are not considered North
Carolina residents after they leave
active service.
I see it as a good thing if we can
offer more state tuition in the sys-
tem, Nunnery said. It gets them
through the pipeline and hopefully
keeps them in the state.
For undocumented students,
in-state tuition could be on the
horizon, though it must first
clear legal hurdles. N.C. Attorney
General Roy Coopers office issued
an advisory letter last month say-
ing undocumented students must
pay out-of-state rates unless state
or federal law changes.
I doubt our board will address
it, at least in the short term, said
Board of Governors Chairman
Peter Hans in an email. Of course,
the ultimate decision on immigra-
tion laws lies in Washington. Were
all a little frustrated with their
inability to find a compromise and
solution for these issues.

Student Governments is

No. 1 North Carolina takes ght out of Irish
WOMENS LACROSSE: NORTH CAROLINA 19, NOTRE DAME 9
By Brandon Chase
Staff Writer
There has been a common
theme to the No. 1 ranked North
Carolina womens lacrosse teams
season thus far.
That theme: thoroughly
destroying every team in its path.
The Tar Heels are consistently
validating their lofty ranking, the
latest demonstration of their dom-
inance being a 19-9 victory against
No. 12 Notre Dame (2-2, 0-2 ACC)
on Thursday night.
UNC now stands at 5-0 (1-0
ACC) with all of its wins coming by
at least 10 goals.
After each win, coach Jenny
Levy is quick to praise her teams
opposition, noting how talented
each of the Tar Heels opponents
are, which begs the question: How
talented is UNC?
I dont know how talented we
are, Levy said.
Were continuing to plug away
and get better. Im always sur-
prised when I look down at the
score because I feel like the games
are a lot closer than that.
Thursday nights contest against
the Fighting Irish was never close,
as UNC sprinted out of the gates
to a 5-0 lead that it would never
relinquish.
Four North Carolina players
scored at least three goals on the
night as the Tar Heels attacked the
Notre Dame goal from all over the
field.
UNC has been able to blend
the nations top-ranked recruiting
class with returning contributors
that helped the Tar Heels win the
national championship a season
ago.
The newcomers contributed
12 of UNCs 19 goals Thursday
night, highlighted by a five-goal
outburst from attacker Carly
Reed.
Reed said that the way the Tar
Heels are playing right now, she
doesnt know what could slow her
team down.
I guess we have so much
momentum that we kind of feel
like no ones going to stop us now,
Reed said.
Anybody on the team can score
at this point. So its great to be a
part of a team where you can trust
any player on the field.
The womens lacrosse
team dominated
in a 19-9 win.

not to smile while broadcasting the
game on ESPN3.
Holman said its been thrill-
ing to form such a bond with her
classmates and the connection
between Holman and Reed was
on display against the Fighting
Irish.
Twice, Reed sprinted in from
close to midfield and Holman put
the ball right on her stick, and
both times Reed fired the ball into
the back of the net.
Carlys one of my really good
friends, and I think the chemistry
out here is growing, Holman said.
Shes been working so hard,
and I think shes starting to get
more confident.
Whenever I see her, I try to hit
her as much as possible.

EQUAL HOUSING
OPPORTUNITY
By Logan Ulrich
Staff Writer
Bat in hand, the vet-
eran approaches the plate.
Platinum-tinted hair peeks
out from beneath his helmet.
Its the final game of the sea-
son and the second-to-last
at-bat of his career.
But he doesnt know that
yet.
Its Sept. 2, 2013. The
Bowie Baysox are playing the
Erie SeaWolves.
Shortstop Josh Horton
steps up to the plate and
readies his bat.
The pitch flies, Horton
connects and the ball sails
over the wall for a home run.
Its his seventh year in the
minor leagues and his sixth
team. He hasnt made it to the
major leagues.
I fell short, Horton said.
I did a lot of good things as
a professional, but unfortu-
nately making it to the major
leagues wasnt one of them.
A second-round pick by
the Oakland Athletics in the
2007 MLB draft, Horton
played college baseball at
North Carolina, where he was
an All-American and helped
lead UNC to back-to-back
College World Series.
Seven years later, after
attracting no interest as a free
agent, Horton re-enrolled at
UNC for the spring semester
and began taking classes.
Logically, this was the next
step, Horton said. Finish my
degree and join the grown-up
world.
Academically, Horton
is a junior. At 28 years old,
Horton is younger than his
graying hair would sug-
gest, but still older than the
majority of his undergradu-
ate peers. He was married in
October 2013 and his wife
lives in New York working for
SoulCycle, a fitness company.
Aside from that, not much
has changed. He still gets up
early and goes to class, then
heads to Boshamer Stadium
around lunchtime for baseball
practice. His second university
experience parallels his first,
only now hes a coach instead
of a player.
Coach Mike Fox hired
Horton as an undergraduate
coach early in the semester
along with former catcher
Mark Fleury, giving him differ-
ent responsibilities, but a simi-
lar time commitment to his
first stint on campus. Horton
has had an extra seven years
to learn the lessons he didnt
learn from Fox the first time.
Coach Fox has been telling
me to eat breakfast since 2004,
and Im just now doing that,
Horton said. Ive learned in
BACK IN THE SWING OF THINGS
DTH/BERNADINE DEMBOSKY
Former UNC baseball player Josh Horton returns to UNC as an assistant baseball coach and to finish his undergraduate degree after playing in the minor leagues.
Former Tar
Heel Josh
Horton has
returned to
UNC as a
coach
the last seven years I need
to eat breakfast, and I need
to get plenty of sleep. If I do
those two things, usually my
day turns out pretty good. If I
dont do those, it usually kind
of tapers off a little bit.
Horton still hasnt decided
on a major. His age hasnt put
him ahead of other students
in that regard. He is thinking
about pursuing coaching and is
trying his hand at it this year.
I spent a long time trying
to make myself better as a
baseball player, Horton said.
Im hoping that will translate
into helping some other guys
get better.
But Horton remains hesi-
tant to commit to coaching as
a career. He says he could see
himself as a personal trainer,
a sailboat captain or in what-
ever position his minor league
experience qualifies him for.
As of now, he says most of
his focus is on his schoolwork
hes even missed a game
because of class. He admits
that focusing has been a
problem, especially during his
first stint at UNC. It played a
role in why he chose baseball
instead of other sports.
I was very loose and laid
back, he said. (With a) three-
hour game, the focus kind
of comes and goes, Im not
required to be as locked in as a
quarterback or a point guard.
That doesnt mean Horton
looks for the easy path,
though. He relishes the chal-
lenge of hitting a baseball
the strength and reaction
time needed makes it one of
the most difficult feats in any
sport. Hes determined to
make the most of his second
college experience, and his
enthusiasm is apparent.
Fox said he added Horton
to the staff for his infectious
energy and positive attitude.
As a player, he said Horton
was a joy to coach because
of his upbeat personality. Its
his defining feature. Horton
radiates cheerfulness every-
where he goes. Whether its
in the dugout or in gym class,
his humor lightens the mood
with teammates and class-
mates alike.
(Its) good to be back, and
Im enjoying it, Horton said.
I guess that just seeps out.
Like many, Horton had a
dream of playing baseball at
the highest level. Like many,
he didnt make it. And now,
like many, he doesnt know
what his next step will be.
His career could be cap-
tured in his final two at-bats.
The first was a home run. The
last was a strikeout.
I think thats a good meta-
phor for life, Horton said. I
appreciate how that can be
retrofit to speak about life in
general.
I left the game with a
smile on my face.
Hes still smiling.

Kathy Pories, senior editor
at the Chapel Hill publishing
house Algonquin Books, said
student authors have to fol-
low the same process that any
other writer would in order to
publish a book.
They would have to make
it into the best shape possible
and take it through a number
of drafts so that what they
sent out was really polished,
Pories said.
Its not like getting a job,
where people are looking at
your experience but they
are going to look at the pages
to see if this is writing that
just blows them away. Thats
even more impressive if youre
young and you manage to
write something thats really
perfection.
Heather Wilson, a sopho-
more English major, is working
on a memoir to preserve details
from her adolescence and
childhood. She said a memoir-
writing class inspired her to
think about how her experi-
ences could come together.
I know its kind of unusual
to want to publish a memoir
at a young age, but I just had
a really, really strange child-
hood, she said.
I lived in six different
states from the ages of zero to
20, so theres just a lot of dif-
ferent variety there and a very
interesting family dynamic.
It seems that it will lend itself
well to a memoir.
Wilson said publication
might be the goal of her mem-
oir, but she just wants to get
her memories written down so
her children can read about her
young life.
Palmer also said she
doesnt write to be published
she writes to fulfill some-
thing internal.
The way that I interact with
the world is through stories,
she said. Having the chance to
self-publish and share my novel
with others my friends, my
family, the University was
really fabulous.

some of those plays that we
havent been tending to do

we were trying to do.
UNC (21-8, 9-6 ACC) came
out of the timeout seemingly
unperturbed after the fast-
paced opening and cut the
Fighting Irishs lead down to
20-15, but this was as close as
the team would get the rest of
the night.
The Fighting Irish would
proceed to cut the UNC
defense up with surgical
finesse slipping off screens,
using backdoor cuts and an
astonishing 60.6 field-goal
percentage to procure a 55-38
lead at the half.
Sophomore forward Xylina
McDaniel said adjusting
to Notre Dames offensive
approach was an arduous task,
and the teams inability to do
so was critical to the outcome.
They come out there and
screen so fast thats just
hard to guard, McDaniel
said. Its so slow, but some-
times we kind of ball-watch,
which messes us up on the
help-side (defense). Its the
little things that make it dif-
ficult, but bring the difference
into the game. And that was
the difference.
McDaniel attempted to be
the difference maker in the
opening minutes of the second
half scoring five of the Tar
Heels eight straight points. Her
effort proved to be unfruitful
as the sharp-shooting McBride
and Natalie Achonwa would
continue to build on their suc-
cessful evenings.
The two seniors, who have
appeared in three straight

Author lectures on race and geography
By Erin Davis
Staff Writer
Author Antonio Tillis
believes peoples racial identi-
fication can change radically
depending on where they are.
Tillis, a professor at
Dartmouth College, deliv-
ered the spring 2014 African
Diaspora Lecture Thursday
night in the Sonja Haynes
Stone Center.
His speech was entitled
Corporal Cartography:
Mapping the Body in U.S.
Afro Latino Literature. Tillis
is currently working on a
book of the same title.
His lecture explored the
relationship between the
map of ones physical body
and the map of ones physical
surroundings in U.S.-Afro-
Latino literature. His study
focused on modern literature,
the earliest of his sources
being from the 1990s.
Tillis explores the culture of
minorities in the United States
in his works.
He began by thanking those
who have helped him in his
career, including Chancellor
Carol Folt, his colleague from
Dartmouth.
He tied in a variety of
factors, including sexuality,
national identity, gender, reli-
gion and race identification
as they related to the protago-
nists he cited in his literary
studies.
My favorite part is where I
get to get feedback and ques-
tions. I want to create a space
of intellectual inquiry, Tillis
said.
Several students and pro-
fessors in attendance were
quick to take Tillis up on his
offer of discussion.
One person in attendance
asked Tillis about how he
plans to address issues sur-
rounding the idea of being
American in his book.
Tillis replied that the first
thing he learned in gradu-
ate school was not to take
into account the authorship,
but to take into account the
reader when writing.
Junior Briana Stevens, who
attended the lecture, said she
came for a friend but was
pleasantly surprised by the
experience.
I thought it was really
interesting how he put how
people feel about their race
and nationality into a geo-
graphical context, she said.
Another junior, Omololu
Babatunde, said she was thor-
oughly impressed by the talk.
I really enjoyed it because
it relates a lot to my area of
study, geography, and how
Im personally trying to map
my own life as an African liv-
ing in the diaspora, she said.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
FEATURED ONLINE READER COMMENT
UNC Israeli Apartheid
Week is taking place
TO THE EDITOR:
On Wednesday after-
noon, members of UNC
Students for Justice in
Palestine posted hundreds
of mock eviction notices
on the doors of several
residence halls throughout
UNCs campus.
The action was intend-
ed to call attention to the
harsh reality of life for
Palestinians.
Eviction notices are rou-
tinely given to Palestinian
families living under
oppressive Israeli occupa-
tion.
The goal is to confiscate
Palestinian land for Israeli
settlements and make life
so miserable for Arabs that
they have no choice but to
eventually leave their land
and homes.
Since 1967, approxi-
mately 27,000 Palestinian
homes have been demol-
ished by Israel, as esti-
mated by the Israeli
Committee Against House
Demolitions.
For more than 65 years,
successive Israeli govern-
ments have used home
demolitions to displace the
native Palestinian popula-
tion in order to create a
Jewish-majority Zionist
state.
This is in violation of
Article 53 of the Fourth
Geneva Convention.
The eviction notices
were clearly fake, and we
hope that they will incite a
greater dialogue on cam-
pus about the Palestinian-
Israeli conflict, a conflict
that is clearly influenced
by the American govern-
ment and American uni-
versities.
The U.S. has provided
over $200 billion in mili-
tary funding to Israel over
the past six decades, and all
that we seem to have got-
ten from it is this apartheid
system.
South African
anti-apartheid leader
Archbishop Desmond
Tutu has been frank in his
opinion of Israeli apart-
heid.
In a speech in the
United States, Archbishop
Tutu said he saw the
humiliation of the
Palestinians at check-
points and roadblocks,
suffering like us when
young white police officers
prevented us from moving
about.
UNC has a strong history
of student activism and
being a voice for those who
cannot be heard.
We are proud to uphold
this tradition and think it
a fundamental aspect of
what it means to be a UNC
student and citizen of the
world.
Use the hashtag
#UNCMockeviction to let
us hear your thoughts on
the mock eviction notice,
and please come out to
the events for UNC Israeli
Apartheid Week next
week!

EDITORIAL CARTOON By Ngozika A. Nwoko, Chapman and Hilligan, nwoko@live.unc.edu
Dont
push
partying
on others
W
hat are you
drinking?
I peeled my
friends fingers back from the
tall, colorful can he was hold-
ing, expecting to see a Four
Loko.
Arizona tea? I laughed.
Then I pulled him into a game
of beer pong with me.
This was at an apartment
party a few months ago. Its a
moment I have been ashamed
of since that friend gently
brought it to my attention a
few days later. In that moment,
I was pushing a widespread
drinking culture that Ive now
started to question. My experi-
ence in college has been that,
socially, not wanting to party
is not OK and I think that
needs to change.
Dont get me wrong; I love
parties. I love meeting new peo-
ple, I love dancing like an idiot
with my friends, I love reminisc-
ing the next morning about all
the fun we had the night before.
And then sometimes I dont
want to drink or go out. Which
should be fine, but often its not.
I acknowledge that partying
is part of the culture here in
Spain, where dinner time is 10
p.m., pregames start after mid-
night and cities are famous for
their nightclubs. Because Im
an exchange student in Europe,
people are confused when
they hear I spent a weekend in
Barcelona and didnt go out at
night why I rarely go out at
all, wherever I am. I feel a need
to defend that choice to every-
one who asks how the nightlife
was for each city I visited.
But I shouldnt need to
defend my idea that making
the most of a weekend in a new
city includes getting up early
with lots of energy and with-
out a hangover. I know that I
might miss a famous landmark
if I dont get there first thing in
the morning to beat the lines,
and I dont know how Id enjoy
exploring a city on foot all day
if I didnt get enough sleep the
night before. But why should I
feel the need to provide these
defenses for my decision to
stay in at night?
This applies to Chapel Hill,
too, because in the same way
no one at a party should have
to give excuses for choosing not
to drink. Maybe youre a health
nut, like me, who hates the
thought of the empty calories
and toxins in every sip of beer.
Maybe your mom was an alco-
holic, and you dont feel like tell-
ing that to every person whos
jovially shouting at you to join
in on the next round of shots.
Maybe you simply cant afford it.
We dont put this kind of
social pressure on other activi-
ties, like watching TV or tossing
a Frisbee on the quad. If a friend
declines to join a hanging out
during the day, no one questions
it. Yet somehow its perceived
as lame for a social person like
me to opt out of a party. I myself
have been a perpetrator of this
college kid party culture, but Im
standing up now to argue that it
shouldnt be that way.
Be honest with yourself.
If you dont feel like going
out, dont force yourself just
because your friends are going.
Plan fun morning activities
and encourage your friends to
join you. Most of all, respect
the decision of anyone who
opts out of the drinking or the
party. Partying is a fun thing to
do, from Barcelona to Chapel
Hill, but lets not make it an
obligation.

Carol Folt and other
University leaders can put
these academic scandals
behind them for good.
But based on informa-
tion released by adminis-
trators so far, little is known
about how this investiga-
tion will work, when it will
be completed, and the spe-
cifics of what Wainstein will
be reviewing.
All that is known, it
seems, is the probe will
likely take months to com-
plete and thus cost UNC a
great sum in attorney fees.
UNC needs to demand
answers during this pro-
cess, starting immediately.
For example, what new
information does Woodall
have that former Gov. Jim
Martin, who oversaw a
similar investigation in
2012, did not?
Will this still only be
limited to a narrow search
of one department, or will
it be expanded?
Why does the public
know Wainsteins name,
but not the name of the
person conducting an inde-
pendent review of Mary
Willinghams findings?
And finally, what does
athletics have to do with
all of this? Martin insisted
this was only an academic
scandal, but with the pro-
portion of athletes UNC
knows were part of these
fraudulent courses, and
the cultural issues that
Willinghams findings
statistically true or not
suggest, will this really be
shut out as a factor again?
It should go without say-
ing, however, that neither
side of this debate should
stoop to name calling.
Administrators must also
demand a definitive start-
ing point as to when Julius
Nyangoro, or others, began
engaging in academic
misconduct so that the
University can be done with
uncovering pieces of this
scandal, once and for all.
It is of note that Folt and
Executive Vice Chancellor
and Provost Jim Dean are
both new to their positions.
Therefore, they must be
proactive in ensuring they
know enough about the
history of UNCs problems
and previous investigations
to adeptly review any infor-
mation Wainstein uncovers.
Putting this work in at
the beginning and start-
ing with clear and specific
expectations will not only
reduce billable hours, but
also likely improve upon
the quality of the results.
Ideally, progress reports
providing updates on the
findings of the investiga-
tion would be made avail-
able to the public as it is
the states taxes that help
fund this University, and
those taxpayers have a
stake in the discussion.
If thorough enough,
this probe is a good step
forward.
UNC should seek
definitive answers
from this new probe.

Association of Student
Governments elects a
new leader. ASG is made
up of all 17 UNC-system

reach from a wide pool of

state. But this year a single
pair of students is running
unopposed.
Alex Parker, the North

student body president
and Leigh Whittaker, the
UNC-Asheville student
body president, are running
together for president and
vice president, respectively.
Parker and Whittaker

pair will have the not so

that burden and turning
the ship around.

2012 and 2013 through
