The Reese News Lab is known for experimenting with new ideas in the media industry
and now they are looking at ways to increase
innovation within their own student staff.
The lab, a project based out of the School
of Media and Journalism, is trying to diversify
its applicant pool, said Sara Peach, the labs
associate director. In the spring, Peach asked
the Reese News Lab marketing team to think
of new ways to recruit students from different
backgrounds and experiences.
We see better results when we bring a lot
of different perspectives into the room the
ideas for startups gets better, Peach said.
In past years, Peach said, applicants were
primarily journalism majors, which comprises
around 16 percent minority students, according to the schools website. According to a
registrar report, 32 percent undergraduates
reported a race other than white.
We all, as journalists, have been trained in
similar ways, so when you add someone from
computer science or business immediately
the ideas are richer, Peach said. That works
for people from different walks of life, too.

DRESS CODE
5 summer jackets that will weather transition from summer to fall
By Wendy Donahue
Chicago Tribune(TNS)
A jacket is the last
thing most of us want
to think about in the
warmer months. But
of a versatile jacket,
not just for personal
climate control. Coats
over the last few seasons
are trending, said Red
Godfrey, Nordstrom
fashion office vice
president. The reason
for buying has shifted
from not only being a
functional decision but a
true outfit completer.
Wetzel, an independent
retailer who co-owns
Madison Hall and
space519 in Chicago.
But it can be a slippery
slope into ending up
inappropriately casual,
he said. Its all about
contrasting: If the shape
is sporty, the fabric
should be dressier and
vice versa.
Summer suggests
simpler lines and less
coverage a collarless
jacket with cropped
sleeves or ones that can
be cuffed or rolled up,
said Ann Taylor fashion
expert Emily Evans.
Luxury-sport is a
major trend influencing
jackets, points out Jim
of reinforcements,
from geek-chic anoraks
to lightweight shells
from performance
brands. Wetzel likes
hooded raincoats from
Stutterheim out of
Sweden, which combine
tech details such as
heat-sealed seams and
dry-wick interiors with
sophisticated silhouettes.
For affordable versatility,
a packable jacket from
Uniqlo stuffs into a
pouch for travel.
5. Black blazer:
White and other lighter
neutrals typically take
over in summer. But a
black blazer can pair
with summers nautical
stripes now and with
just about anything later.
Wetzel likes a shorter,
boyish silhouette by
Nili Lotan or Veronica
Beard, who has styles
with a hooded French
terry dickey for a sporty
update. A stretch-jersey
fabrication also can relax
the look and feel. Uniqlo
has these and extend
wearability into all
seasons and settings. n

THE LOWDOWN ON
SATURDAYS GAME
The DTH sports staff and one celebrity guest compete to pick the winners
of the biggest ACC and national college football games each week.
The entire newsroom let out a collective
gasp when the standings were revealed after
Week 1 of the college football season.
Senior writer Brendan Marks who set up
shop in the proverbial basement all of last season with a historically dreadful record did
the impossible, as a Mormon miracle propelled
him to a 9-0 record and an elevator ride all the
way to the pick penthouse.
As the wise H. Jackson Brown Jr. once
said, I never expect to lose. Even when
Im the underdog, I still prepare a victory
speech, Marks proclaimed.
But beware, Mr. Marks, jumping out of
the starting gate as quick as UNC football

Best known for her role as Sophia

Guest Actress in a Comedy Series at the
Primetime Emmy Awards.

Jeffrey Adams, professor at UNC-G, is

which will feature popular Coen Brothers
films like No Country for Old Men, The
Man Who Wasnt There and Fargo,
among others.
The class does not focus solely on the
directors movies, but also delves deeper
into their cultural and social influences. The
class is structured to show one film a week,
which are accompanied by readings, analytical discussions and film theory.
Adams believes the Coen brothers are a
good duo to focus on, both because of the
popularity of their films and also because
of their deviation from other filmmakers
styles and popular constructs.
Adams also teaches horror and is the
author of the popular book The Cinema of
the Coen Brothers.

EDITORIAL
n 1970, President
Richard Nixon abruptly invaded Cambodia.
Tommy Bello, a senior at
UNC at the time, was so
disgusted by this act that
he decided to plan a protest at UNC.
Bello was the
Universitys student body
president, and the action
he planned was not small.
He called an emergency
meeting of the student
body and urged students
to participate in a mass
walkout of class. Professors
estimated half the student
body chose not to attend
class the next day.
This kind of mass protest
action seems unimaginable
now, and thats a shame.
University students
with access to all kinds of
platforms have unique
opportunities to drive conversations in this country
about the necessity of the
seemingly endless wars in
which the U.S. government
involves our country, often
justified by vague interests
in regions half the world
away.
As we observe the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks,
we feel compelled to temper our grief by pausing
for a moment to challenge
those who would still
Afghanistan destabilized
those nations, inspiring
extremism and allowing
radical Islamism to spread,
terrorizing the people of the
region.
If the U.S. is to contain and combat radical
Islamism, it must understand that the greatest
driving force behind violent
jihadism is foreign military
intervention and the chaos,
destruction and resentment
it brings. Terror groups
have no greater recruiting tool than being able to
point to the civilians killed
by the Wests bombs or
puppet dictators and
then presenting themselves
as resisters of imperialism.
With new potential
conflicts looming, political
organizations on campus
remain entrenched in
their pro-war biases.
College campuses were
once epicenters of antiwar activism. During
Vietnam and the Bush
administration, youth
showed great interest in
ending pointless wars. It
is our generation fighting
them; we are losing our
long-standing constitutional protections, and we
will inherit the debt piling
up from all of these overseas adventures.
As the elites try to foist
another war on us in Syria
or Iran, students must
prepare to organize and
protest.
EDITORIAL
Welcome, Aggies
Be conscious
of history at play
in Kenan Stadium.
ome Saturday at
6 p.m., the UNC
football team will
kick off against the Aggies
of N.C. A&T in Kenan
Stadium. We should mark
this moment as historic,
as the Tar Heels have not
recently taken the opportunity to play against a
historically black college
or university on our home
turf.
Across the board,
predominantly white
institutions and HBCUs
have high proportions
of minority athletes on
their teams, yet HBCUs
are largely absent from
Division I athletics and
major conferences.
Currently, not a single
HBCU is a part of the
Atlantic Coast Conference.
N.C. A&T is a part of the
Mid-Eastern Athletic
Conference, which also
includes N.C. Central
University and South
Carolina State.
This type of exclusion
TO THE EDITOR:
A first-year UNC student made false claims
about a UNC professors course, Literature
of 9/11, stating that
the course justifies the
actions of terrorists
painting them as fighting against an American
regime, or mistaken idealists, or good people just
trying to do what they
deem right.
These unsubstantiated
smears were widely circulated by national and
local media. The original
online article as well as
much of the subsequent
reporting of the students
claims violate the most
basic standards of ethics
in journalism and contravene the spirit of UNCs
honor code.
Why has Chancellor
Carol Folt failed to speak
out? Provost Jim Dean
spoke out publicly. I call on
Chancellor Folt to defend
UNC faculty members academic freedom and UNCs
Honor Code.

Gender-sensitive
style is not an issue
TO THE EDITOR:
Even to a staunch
feminist such as myself,
the view expressed in
your article about sexist
pronouns is ridiculous. It
is pettiness such as this
that gives todays feminist
movement a bad reputation.
Such a view ignores the
far more serious inequalities between men and
women in our world and
instead dwells on the misuse of perfectly correct
English words.
Such passion about
equality should be focused
toward closing the wage
gap, providing equal education for women worldwide
and ending domestic and
sexual violence against
women.
Fighting for these
causes is much more
important to the advancement of females around
the world than forcing
students to call themselves
first-years instead of
freshmen.
Those who think this is
the most important feminist issue to teach students
about should reconsider the
state of womens affairs in
our country and around the
world.
Perhaps one day when
every woman receives
the same pay as her male
peers, no woman is raped
or denied a job because of
her gender and every girl
is allowed to go to school,
then it will be time to revisit this issue.
But for now, there are far
more serious inequalities
to face.

To the librarians who
never respond to my library
chats, youre making me feel
like a middle-schooler using
AIM again.
To my professor who tells
us, Now its time to pay
attention, thank you for telling me the exact moment
when I should stop browsing
Tumblr.
This guy beside me in
class whispered to himself,
There will be blood, after
the professor started talking
about the Spanish invasion
of Mexico.
Hey UNC, why do you
have to turn the sprinklers on
right as I am walking home
with my dinner? You owe me
a non-soggy pizza.
Summer, its been fun, but
you need to go. When I left
New Jersey, I only packed my
flannels and now have nothing cool to wear.
Why dont we have more
loose-leaf tea shops on campus?
Even abroad people know
about the scandals. Hey UNC,
get it together its hurting
my reputation.
Is it cool for a 21-year-old
boy to like Justin Bieber, or
do I still have to hide my true
feelings?
UNC, why arent we being
more ambitious in our search
for a Jubilee artist? Vote
Death Grips.
This is silly, but hey weather, I like my sweaters, and I
miss them.
Hey Country Fried Duck
people, I appreciate your
friendliness, but sometimes
I just want to listen to podcasts in peace, not be waved
at by strangers.
Why dont we have a
brewery? Appalachian does.
Put it in the UL, please.
Who the hell makes a

Insects have been around

and humans for a mere

Elon Musk wants to nuke
Mars! I know the U.S. has
always distrusted places that
have labeled themselves as
red, but this is going too far.
The School of Media and
Journalism and The School

Frank Oceans new album

Daily Tar Heel not thrown
the entirety of its resources
behind finding out why he is
holding out?
Who thought it would
be a good idea to put
Hopscotch and the
Greensboro Folk Festival on
the same week?
Freshmen should enjoy
this upcoming night game
that will take place at 6 p.m.
After that, it is nonstop sun,
shining for the duration of
the game right into your eyes
every single home game.
