UNC weathers perfect storm

BLACKSBURG, VA. A legendary

coachs goodbye. A senior day sendoff.
A chance for Virginia Tech to tarnish
North Carolinas shot at a Coastal
Division crown.
Before North Carolinas 30-27
overtime victory at Virginia Tech on
Saturday, the Tar Heels knew they
would be tested against the Hokies.
It was, as Coach Larry Fedora
described, a perfect storm.
Everything was going against us,
he said. They had the tribute to Coach
(Frank Beamer) and they needed to
get bowl eligible and it was the seniors
last day in this stadium, and the black
unis. Whatever you want to call it. It
was all going against us.
For three quarters, the Tar Heels

muddled through their worst offensive

performance of the season punting
the ball on six of seven drives after
scoring a game-opening touchdown.
But after two touchdowns by sophomore tailback Elijah Hood gave UNC
a 24-10 lead, players started talking
about division championship rings.
The Tar Heels looked like theyd
survive the trip to Blacksburg, seize
the win and spoil Beamers farewell.
But the storm was brewing.
Coach says every week, Adversity
is going to hit, chaos is going to hit.
Youve just got to look at it in the face
and make the next play, said senior
receiver Quinshad Davis. We knew
adversity was going to hit sooner or
later. And it did in the fourth quarter.
Virginia Tech cut UNCs lead to
24-17 after a fumble by redshirt senior
quarterback Marquise Williams, scoring a touchdown on fourth-and-goal.
Moments later, Williams fumbled
again and the Hokies recovered.
The crowd roared. Lane Stadium
shook. And with just over a minute
remaining in regulation, Virginia Tech

tied the game at 24.

In less than three minutes, the Tar
Heels went from having the Coastal
Division title nearly in their grasp to
facing the same demons that plagued
UNC so many times in seasons past.
But this team was determined to be
different than its predecessors.
The Tar Heels held the Hokies to a
field goal on the opening possession
of overtime, giving the UNC offense a
chance to end the game on its terms.
We practice those situations all of
the time, Hood said. We just went out
there, and we executed. We found a way.
Things didnt ever really go our way the
whole game, but we pulled it together.
Williams found receiver Ryan
Switzer for an 18-yard gain on UNCs
first play. And on third-and-goal, the
quarterback redeemed himself, throwing a 5-yard touchdown pass to Davis.
Coach said, Were throwing it to
No. 14, said Davis, who wears that
number. And I was like, Good deal,
Coach. Ive been telling you that
throw it to me. And I got lined up oneone-one, like theyve been doing all

day, and I beat him on the route.

The Tar Heels stormed the field,
mobbing Davis in the end zone. The
celebration continued to the locker
room, where the team was presented
with the Coastal Division trophy.
UNC took a game where everything
seemed to go wrong and the obstacles
appeared insurmountable, mustering
the right plays to secure the historic win.
We went through so much just
to get here, Williams said. A lot of
people dont know what weve been
through. (Inside) those four walls at
Kenan Stadium, its been rough, man.
But we found a way to continue to
keep winning.
UNCs seniors came to Chapel Hill
determined to lead a turnaround. A
bowl ban in 2012, three years of probation and a losing season in 2014
prevented them from doing so.
But on Saturday, as they have been
forced to do in the past, the Tar Heels
weathered the storm. And if lighting
strikes again, theyll be ready.

White union might UNC investment

seek official status in alternative
The group says it wants
to represent European
American students.
By Hannah Smoot
Assistant University Editor

Tension has risen on campus

with racially motivated protests
and spray paintings this year, and
the newest group associated with
UNC a white student union
is already attracting protests.
According to its Facebook
page, the University of North
Carolina White Student Union
was founded on Saturday.
The person communicating
through the groups Facebook
page would not provide documentation that group members
were UNC students or how many
members are in the group. The
spokesperson said members preferred to stay anonymous to protect themselves from backlash.
However, the spokesperson,
who said the group focuses on
concerns and values of European
American students, said the group
thinks backlash is unfounded.
Many do not see White inter-

energy thrives

ests as legitimate, but as times

change and European Americans
become a smaller demographic
throughout the country, it is inevitable that we will have to make it a
priority to speak up for ourselves,
lest we become a disparaged and
voiceless minority within the
country, the spokesperson said.
Many UNC students have
voiced concerns about the
group. Junior Tyler Sharp said
he thinks the group is hiding
behind anonymity.
I checked it out and was really astonished that people would
actually make that, Sharp said.
And then I decided that I actually wasnt that surprised, especially when I saw that everyone
was posting to it anonymously.
Sharp said he thinks the
group is staying anonymous
because members realize the
group is racist. He said hes glad
many people on Facebook have
posted against the group.
UNC is obviously a white
space, he said.
The spokesperson said the
group wants to hold events later
in the year and seek recognition

UNC-system efforts to invest in alternative

energy have steadily grown and the $4.6 billion endowment is thriving.
The fund, which saw a 9.3 percent rate of return
on investment, ranked among the top five percent
of Cambridge Associates universe of college and
university endowment funds. The Chapel Hill
Investment Funds $2.9 billion endowment specifically increased by $243.9 million.
The driver was exceptional investment manager performance, said Jonathon King, president
and CEO of the UNC Management Company
the body that invests the university systems
endowment. We just had a number of managers
this year that had unbelievably good years.
Interest in expanding investments in alternative energy began in September 2014 when the
UNC Board of Trustees passed a non-binding
clean energy resolution sponsored by the Sierra
Student Coalition.
And in a follow-up presentation to the board
Thursday, King said alternative energy currently
represents $17.6 million of the entire systems

Tar Heel Thanksgiving gives thanks

This Thanksgiving
will mark the events
third year.
By Cailyn Derickson
Staff Writer

Three years ago, Winston

Crisp, vice chancellor for student affairs, formally solved
a problem that had bothered
him for decades: how to
celebrate Thanksgiving with
students who are unable to go
home over the break.
Crisp said this idea comes
from his time as an undergraduate at Johnson C.
Smith University. He said
he wasnt able to go home
for Thanksgiving for his first
three years on campus.
I found it to be a really sort
of isolating and lonely and, in
some ways, miserable experience, because almost everybody is gone and theres only a
handful of people, Crisp said.
The Thanksgiving meal

began as a potluck at the house

of then Dean of the School of
Law, Judith Wagner, when
Crisp was working as the assistant dean of the law school.
We invited folks in the
law school community who
werent going home, who
didnt have anything to do,
who were going to be here to
come and spend the day with
us and bring what they could,
Crisp said. We had what
became a tradition.
When Crisp transferred
to main campus, he realized
a potluck wouldnt feed the
larger number of students.
But in 2012, he partnered
with John Rodriguez, general
manager of the Carolina Club,
to organize the first ever Tar
Heel Thanksgiving.
Rodriguez said he and
Crisp noticed a lot of students on campus during
Thanksgiving break in 2012.
That whole year, (Crisp)
and I kept in touch and we
kept the idea of what are we
going to do, and we settled

If we can provide
a bit of relief on a
day like this, then
Im in.
John Rodriguez
Carolina Club general manager

into the idea that we would

open our doors to the clubs
Thanksgiving buffet, which the
club has done annually for our
members, and we would feed
the students, Rodriguez said.
Carolina Club members
can sponsor a student for $25
in order to give students the
opportunity to attend the meal.
I honestly believe its not
easy being a student, and
what I hear from our members is: If we can provide a
bit of relief on a day like this,
then Im in, Rodriguez said.
This Thanksgiving will be
the Tar Heel Thanksgivings
third year. There will be two
seating times offered, one at
11 a.m. and one at 2:30 p.m.
Rodriguez said there were
152 students the first year and
192 students the second year.
This year, the club is expecting close to 250 students.

residential education, said

there are about 70 students
staying in break housing
in Craige and Carmichael
residence halls, a record for
Thanksgiving break housing.
I think its really appreciated. Theres an opportunity
for them to get a free meal, a

very nice meal in a nice location, Bradley said.

Crisp said he didnt want
anyone to feel like they
didnt have a place to go for
Thanksgiving.
When I think back to that
18-year-old kid walking around
campus Thanksgiving week-

end, just feeling so lost and so

alone and almost abandoned,
not anybodys fault but to
now be able to do this so that
theres at least 200 students
who arent feeling like that is a
really cool thing, Crisp said.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Winston Crisp, on spending Thanksgiving alone as a student

EDITORIAL CARTOON By Drew Sheneman, The Star-Ledger

he recent Town Hall on

Race and Inclusion, was
the Universitys attempt
to have a conversation in order
to cover its respective derriere.
This conversation, or dialogue, is really a misnomer;
it was an attempt to silence
students into a whitewashed
complacent stupor in order to
prevent UNC from following
the steps of Missouri and Yale.
The very premise of the Town
Hall, its very name indicates
how delusional UNC administrators are in addressing the
calls of students of color to
both acknowledge and address
its racist history and present
steps which are actionable. It
fails to address the core of real
problems at UNC.
UNC administrators, faculty
and students: why are you so
scared of addressing the system
of racism? Why is it that you
cant even properly name a
Town Hall meeting without trying to beat around the bush?
UNC administrators circumvent and whitewash the real
problems here at this university
through the very title of the
town hall. Race and inclusion, are not systems that need
to be addressed and demolished.
Anti-Blackness, white
supremacy and the prisonindustrial complex are.
Inclusion itself is a meaningless term only serving to
tokenize if equity and the explicit goal of demolishing anti-Black
systems are not concurrent.
As a woman of color, I do not
regard my being included
into a university that upholds
white supremacy by protecting
Confederate monuments as
something to be grateful for.
Inclusion itself does nothing and can often continue
oppression and we need to
stop this idea of needing a conversation around it to solve
problems. Weve been having
this conversation for far too
long, and its led to nothing but
a bout of administrative white
tears and decades of inaction.
Scott Woods, writer, poet, critic
and librarian, calls out the culture of race conversation in
his piece. He writes:
A conversation about race
in 2015 is not a goal. It is not
a good goal, it is not a reasonable goal and it is not an
equitable goal. In fact, treating
the conversation like a goal is
offensive to thinking people
who have been having these
conversations longer than you
or your daddy or your grandfather have been alive, let alone
the people forced to live as the
subjects of your well-meaning
conversations.
#ConcernedStudent1950,
The Real Silent Sam Coalition
and the University of Cape
Towns Rhodes Must Fall have
laid down the demands of
Black people and other people
of color, from Cape Town to
Mizzou to UNC. It has been
way past time for you to stop
your chatter. Stop the conversation.
We have laid out our
demands, and now, UNC, you
have a choice: will you divest
from your white supremacy,
from your racist past and from
your culture of oppressing the
voices of Black people and people of color on this campus?
Will you awaken from your
deliberate ahistorical amnesia to meet these demands?
Because either way, whether
you resist them or not, they
will be met.

Margaret Spellings
needs to be removed
TO THE EDITOR:
We, the undersigned,
object to the UNC-system
Board of Governors
closed-door appointment
of political toady Margaret
Spellings to the presidency

urge them to reconsider for
the sake of UNCs already
battered reputation.

This requires urgency

UNCs history task
force must fulfill its
potential.

n Tuesday, students, staff and

faculty opened
their UNC email accounts
and found a message from
the co-chairpersons of
UNCs task force on campus history. This update
was detailed, informative
and useful. It gave campus
readers insight into how
the process is moving forward and invited interested
people to participate.
It was an example of
good administration.
But this task force has
also presented large holes
that need to be plugged.
So far, the members of
the task force have not publicly announced their meetings as required by North
Carolina open meetings
law, which contains broad
definitions of what comprises a public body and
what an official meeting is.
The task force is composed of more than two
members and has the
power to exercise advisory
functions. The task force
thus seems to fall under
the laws definition.
This means any time a
majority of the announced
five members of the task
force meet to discuss its
business, it is considered
an official meeting.

The message from the

task force promised a
new website that would
include information on
meetings in future, but
until this website is made,
the groups meeting schedule must be immediately
added to the comprehensive list of open meetings
on the UNC news website.
Not only would this
bring the task force into
total compliance with the
law an issue of vital
importance it would
also build trust with the
University community by
opening the task force to
valuable scrutiny in its
day-to-day processes.
In an interview with
The Daily Tar Heel, Vice
Chancellor for Student
Affairs Winston Crisp said
he wished the task force
was further along.
Are we as far as I would
have probably wanted
us to be? I would say no.
We can make no excuses
about that, he said.
Crisps candor is admirable, but it means the task
force should take corrective
steps. One of the reasons
cited for the task forces
pace was the small number
of members. Recruitment
of more people to aid the
task forces work is urgent.
Its email was a good step to
correcting this issue.
It seems clear this task
force was conceived in
response to the activism

of the Real Silent Sam

Coalition. If this process
is going to unfold in an
ideal manner (and if the
University would like to
avoid further protests of
whitewashing), activist
voices must be included in
the task forces work.
That cant happen without open meetings.
On the other side of the
same coin, people who are
passionate about the representation of history at UNC
should offer their input to
the task force. They can do
this either by working on
it, as the task forces recent
message solicited for, or by
going to open meetings and
voicing their perspectives.
The task force might
not be a perfect vehicle
to respond to activists
demands for the contextualization of campus history,
but it is one that can produce permanent results.
This matters a lot. The
task force has the potential to update the visual
geography of campus to
name and detail the racism and exploitation that
are a fundamental parts of
UNCs history. The results
will undoubtedly be better
if the people who prompted this process exert their
influence.
What this task force
does will be important. All
stakeholders should treat
its work with urgency and
openness.

EDITORIAL

Fair representation
Graduate students
should be allowed
to self-govern.

raduate and
undergraduate
students study in
the same libraries, go to
class in the same buildings
and often can be found in
the same bars and coffee
shops after class.
Despite this, the academic and personal needs
of the two types of student are not so similar.
Graduate students are
typically in higher level
courses, working as teaching assistants and are
generally older than the
average undergraduate
students.
The difference is clear,
but when it comes to representation in student government both kinds of students are required to work
together under the same
umbrella. This would still
be problematic if representation was equal, but in the
current system, graduate
students are underrepreseted in Student Congress
and in student govern-

ment. Of the current 34

seats in student congress,
only eight are graduate,
giving undergraduate students well over a supermajority. This is in spite of
the fact that more than a
third of UNC students are
graduate or professional
students.
This creates a system
where student fees paid
by graduate students and
goals of the Graduate
and Professional Student
Federation are ultimately
under the control of
undergraduates.
For this reason,
Chancellor Carol Folt
and Vice Chancellor for
Student Affairs Winston
Crisp should allow GPSF
to become an independent organization in
order to better handle its
own affairs.
In a recent interview,
former GPSF secretary
Adam Engel spoke of
increasing hostility from
the largely undergraduate
Student Congress. He also
mentioned an increased
amount of Congress meddling in GPSF plans.
GPSF attempted to fix

these issues within the

current system last year by
spearheading an attempt
to amend the student
government constitution
through a referendum.
Unfortunately, the referendum failed because too
few students voted.
There was an attempt at
internal reform that failed.
Now reorganization is
called for.
While Student Congress
should act with greater
diplomacy, it is too much
to expect undergraduates
to understand the needs
of graduate students.
Student Congress behavior is a side effect of the
current system.
By giving GPSF independence, it could better plan
and implement beneficial
policy for its constituents.
Graduates should govern graduates, and the
same principle should
apply for undergraduates.
Both bodies cannot and
should not be expected
to understand the needs
of the other group of students it would be smart
and efficient to separate
the two.

Silent Sam will fall

one day in the future
TO THE EDITOR:
Silent Sam will come
down. Its only a matter
of time. Lets cut to the
chase. On the campus of
the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill,
there stands a monument
to white supremacy. It is
not a race-neutral piece of
history that remembers the
fallen of the Civil War. It is
not representative of students at UNC or the people
of North Carolina. It is
not something anyone can
be proud of. It is not even
accurate history.
To Carol Folt, UNC
administrators and the
Board of Governors, take this
monument down. Its well
past time. Im sure politics
are involved. Alumni, money,
procedures, etc. But look at
the bigger issue. There is a
monument to white supremacy on our campus. Let me
repeat: There is a monument
to white supremacy on our
campus.
Does anyone really
believe Silent Sam will stay
where it is for eternity?
That racist chunk of bronze
and marble is coming down
at some point. Why not
now? Not next year, or in
five years. Not after review
upon review has been completed. Now.
Will taking down Silent
Sam solve everything? Will
it silence student protesters who have so eloquently
and courageously brought
to our attention UNCs long
history of exploitation? No.
But it would be a damn
good start.

Completing the DTH

UNC bucket list
TO THE EDITOR:
Cheese fries at Lindas.
Streaking in Davis Library.
Feeding squirrels.
These are things we never
thought of doing during
our time at UNC at least
before we found the list.
Published by The Daily Tar
Heel in 2011, the UNC buck-

et list has shaped our experience at this school. From

the Old Well to the Dean
Dome, from Jordan Lake to
Gimghoul Castle, and even
all the way to Asheville and
Wilmington, weve spent the
last three years exploring
this campus (and state) to
complete all one hundred
items. Working through
this list has been one of the
best chapters of our college
story, and we wholeheartedly
encourage other students
to make it a part of theirs.
As our senior fall semester
comes to a close, we have 86
items under our belt. Now
that youve heard our story,
we hope youll help us finish
our 87th by publishing this
letter.

UNC admin handled

Town Hall poorly
TO THE EDITOR:
In reaction to the Town
Hall meeting on Thursday:
When is the administration going to take a proactive approach to solving the
many different issues on
campus? Symbolic gatherings in the name of progress contribute to nothing
more than an insured continuance of the status quo.
The gathering at
Memorial Hall was prompted more so by fear than by
a true commitment toward
solving the problems on
campus. During Thursday,
the specters of Missouri,
Cape Town and the BSMUNC protests of the late
1960s lingered high above
the audience, and especially
Chancellor Carol Folt.
The administration
should be admonished for
both their lack of awareness and their reactionary
and insincere measures
on Thursday. In addition,
Clarence Page should be
admonished for his condescending attitude and bullish reactions to many of the
speakers during Thursdays
gathering.
The Town Hall on
Thursday was equivalent
to someone with a closed
mind, closed ears, an open
hand, and the expressive
body gesture of go away,
are you not satisfied yet?
Only time will tell whether
the school is going to take
a more proactive approach
or whether the school is
going to continue its same
disinterested stance of neutrality.

Market sells gifts that keep on giving

Some gifts help
people in Africa and
Latin America.

Its the gift that gives

twice, and it really
adds meaning to the
holiday market.

By Anna Cooke

Henry Lister

Staff Writer

Coordinator of the Alternative Market

Waiting in long lines, stores

slashing prices, catfights over
door busters thats the
norm for the holiday season.
But not at the Alternative
Gift Market.
For 26 years, the United
Church of Chapel Hill has
steered people away from
the commercial aspect of the
holidays.
People wanted to simplify
Christmas, the Rev. Richard
Edens said.
Edens said the market was
launched while the church was
at its Cameron Street location.
It started out on a smaller
scale and was only held on the
Sunday before Thanksgiving.
It is now a two-day event filling most of the churchs space.
Tables are filled with food,
jewelry, art, clothing and
more. However, the items
differed from those sold at
department stores. A portion
of the proceeds go toward
helping organizations and
projects throughout the
world.
The vendor of Jammin for

Africa, Bill Chicurel, said it

is his ninth or tenth year at
the market. Chicurels jam
is locally grown from his
vineyard and his proceeds
are going to the Ministries
of Arthur and Mabel Trout
in Cape Town, South Africa.
Chicurel said the Trouts, who
are friends of his, administer
projects to African shantytowns, areas deprived of
necessities such as safe water
and shelter.
I think the market is
the most wonderful thing,
Chicurel said. It makes people
think are they just giving a
store-bought gift or are they
thinking about where their
money is going? Everything
here is giving twice.
People were able to purchase gifts of aid that would
be given to inhabitants in
Boca Chica, Dominican
Republic, and Managua,
Nicaragua. These gifts of aid
include literacy training for
two women, female health
worker training, an emer-

gency food package capable of

feeding a family of five for a
month, mosquito nets, blankets and more.
I think it really is an alternative market when people
come, Henry Lister, the coordinator of the event, said. Its
the gift that gives twice, and
it really adds meaning to the
holiday market.

The alternative market

partnered with Church World
Service again for its millennium development project Life
More Abundant for a Child in
Latin America.
Its wonderful to see the
level of compassion in Chapel
Hill for their neighbors
in Nicaragua, said Kevin
McCoy, a CWS southeast rep-

resentative. These gifts are

a wonderful example of their
belief and faith.
Hollie Taylor was part
of the markets Art for a
Cause, pledging 20 percent
of her sales to be distributed
evenly between CWS and
Inter-Faith Council for Social
Service. Taylor, a member of
the Orange County Artists

Guild, had a table selling her

ceramic art.
Its great to welcome the
community to see our work
and knowing that a portion
of the proceeds go to helping
kids around the world, Taylor
said. You get to support a
really good cause.

Shooters owner: UNC students are still allowed

The owner has had
trouble with UNC
students in the past.
By Morgan Howard
Staff Writer

In a moment of frustration,
the owner of Shooters Saloon
in Durham took to Facebook
to express her annoyance with
and ultimately ban UNC
students from the business.
So at this point going
forward, my business, my
license, my employees cant

risk everything by letting yall

in, Kim Cates, the owner,
wrote in an all-caps post.
She said students have
brought liquor bottles and
flasks into Shooters, a popular club that Duke University
and UNC students frequent.
I dont mind them coming to the club as long as they
respect my rules, respect my
employees, respect me and
respect the police officers
standing there, Cates said.
But she said UNC students
are still allowed in Shooters.
She said she didnt mean for
it to come across as scolding

UNC as a whole, and has since

deleted the original post.
Still, students are speculating on Facebook if theyre
allowed in or not.
Shooters serves primarily
Duke students. Cates has four
police officers working every
day of the week at the club
and said she trains her staff
to be polite. While she said it
is not exclusive to Duke students, she said she does not
see the same problems from
Duke students as she does
from UNC students.
Duke students listen to
me and dont disrespect me or

my employees, Cates said. If

Duke students watched what
happened the other night I
dont want them to think its
OK not to listen to authority.
Many UNC students
responded in the comments
sections on the post, with the
majority of the comments
being negative.
I regret that I wrote the
first post because I was still
angry at the time, but it did
prove a point to me and those
people showed themselves
again, Cates said.
Cates said she has no rules
posted in or outside the club

because she said they are all

common sense. She did not
mention requiring Duke ID
cards for entrance.
UNC sophomore Jonathan
Buechner said the first time
he visited, he was charged $5
and then $10 several other
times specifically if he did
not have a Duke ID.
As soon as they realize
youre from UNC, they treat
you significantly different,
Buechner said.
UNC sophomore Rachel
Lempp said she went to
Shooters for the first and only
time earlier this semester. She

was meeting a friend, who

attends Duke, and said she
had trouble getting in because
she was a UNC student.
Lempp said the bouncers,
staff and Cates were polite for
the most part.
Cates said she has met UNC
students who are respectful
and her post was not meant
for them. She apologized on
Facebook for her first post.
We can all get along and
have fun without being disrespectful and doing things we
know are not correct, she said.

Rape crisis center holds holiday auction

Speaker highlights
the impact of sexual
violence globally.

Staff Writer

to change that.
This is the one serious
part of the evening, Kumar
said of her speech.
She talked about her work
with women and girls as executive vice president at Ipas,
an organization dedicated to
helping women gain access to
safe reproductive care.
The United Nations
estimates that one-third of
women in the world will
have experienced violence or
sexual harassment in their
lifetime, Kumar said.
Kumars speech highlighted the seriousness of sexual
violence in the United States
and globally, saying patriar-

chal societies propagate rape

culture and the stigma of
womens sexuality. She said
women should be empowered
by their gender, and boys
should be taught to be nurturing and nonviolent, changing the idea of masculinity.
But these changes can
occur in different places and
different times, Kumar said
of transforming society.
Hallie Kirkman volunteered at the event because
she believes in the change the
crisis center works toward.
Kirkman, a UNC graduate,
works as a companion for the
centers help line.
Its more of a fun, festive

side to the work, and its a

cool way to do fundraising to
get all kinds of people together, Kirkman said.
The auction also recognized Bryants work with the
center for the past eight years.
She is stepping down as executive director in December.
She was honored with a Teal
Ribbon award for her service
to the center and community.
An unexpected byproduct was that my own life has
become more joyful, that I
became more empathetic and
fulfilled, Bryant said about
her time with the center.

Today, the Graduate

and Professional Student
Federation will take a step forward with their plan to separate from student government
by sending a letter to administrators asking to establish an
autonomous body of government for graduate students.
Since the establishment
of the GPSF, there has been
a pattern of conflict between
the GPSF and Student
Government, produced by
competing interests and
ambiguous boundaries of
authority, the letter says.
GPSFs letter, which is
addressed to Chancellor Carol
Folt and Vice Chancellor for
Student Affairs Winston Crisp,
describes a history of mistreatment by student government,
especially Student Congress.
According to the letter,
hostility is due to the imbalance of graduate student representation in student government. Graduate students
are allowed 15 of 41 seats in
Student Congress.
Were about a third of the
student body, so were about
a third of the congress seats,
GPSF Treasurer Autumn
McClellan said at an emergency meeting Tuesday. Those
seats, unfortunately, many
have remained vacant for a
long time. Its been said that
theyve not all been completely
filled for the past 10 years.
The letter said this is
because Student Congress
caters to the needs of undergraduate students and
schedules meetings that are

feedback that indicates the

student body as a whole is
vehemently opposed to the
voicing of White interests and
concerns, the spokesperson
said. Though we are a tolerant group that is open to people of all races, many see our
presence as detrimental as it

concerns race relations.

Morgan McLaughlin, a
junior, said she doesnt think
the group would be recognized
as a student organization.
That would be absolutely
absurd, she said. This campus is made for white people.
Our school is a primarily

white institution.
Sharp said he thought the
group would be protested if it
was recognized by UNC.
McLaughlin said the group
was an unnecessary advocate.
We dont need a safe space
for white interests, she said.
Everything is built for white

interests.
McLaughlin said she wasnt
convinced there was more
than one person behind the
Facebook page, but she said its
especially important for white
people to speak out against this
group and racism in any form.
Its not the marginalized

in the nation in terms of solar

power capacity added in the
last two years, she said. King
noted investments in solar
energy with three alternative
energy companies as being successful in his presentation.
But Rob Zawada, a UNC
junior and chief investment officer of the Portfolio
Management Team, said the
alternative energy industry
is facing several significant
challenges. These include
expiring technology subsidies, unmet performance
expectations and the booming natural gas market.
From a financial standpoint, renewable energy pure
play companies are not very
attractive right now, he said.
Pure play companies,
he said, are solely involved
with renewable energy. But
renewable energy sectors
built into traditional energy
companies might be a more
viable investment.
Stephen Arbogast, a
finance professor at KenanFlagler Business School,
also said traditional energy

companies present a safer

opportunity for investors.
An example of risk associated with alternative energy
is Kior, a biofuel company
that made gasoline and diesel
from wood chips. Bill Gates
was an investor in Kior, but
after the company lost $600
million dollars, it filed for
bankruptcy.
Expecting endowments
to simply turn their backs on
those companies is probably
misguided, Arbogast said.
Their job is fundamentally to
produce reasonable returns.
He said investment managers taking climate change into
account is a necessary and
welcome practice, and solar
power and energy storage are
promising areas of the alternative energy industry.
I sometimes think the
sweet spot answer is more clear
than we acknowledge, he said.
It would be nice to see those
two things favored and encouraged as opposed to people staking out maximum positions.

wind basically.
Safety is key for transgender students to feel supported.
Its important for trans
students to feel safe. The
number one thing theyre
here for is to get an education, and they shouldnt have
to worry about their safety
when doing that, Sexuality
and Gender Alliance
President Lauren Martin
said.
Issues of safety are just
some of the problems facing
transgender students, and
there are many different ways
of solving those issues.
I would say the biggest
issue facing transgender people is whatever the transgender person youre asking says
it is, Mara Keisling, executive director of the National
Center for Transgender
Equality, said.
At UNC, some of the issues
of safety and support would
be solved by the installation
of gender-neutral housing
and gender-neutral bathrooms, Martin said.
These have both been public issues for a while. Student
Body President Houston
Summers has supported gender-neutral bathrooms, and
protestors at Thursdays town
hall meeting listed it as one of
their demands.
Education about the lives
of transgender students

can not only provide safety,

Fadale said it can also
bring an end to the feeling of
negativity around campus.
I think one, having an
open mind is always a big
thing, and also doing some
of that work yourself. Its
kind of really taxing to be
that resource as a trans
person, so I think doing
that work yourself is great,
Beshea said.
Education goes hand in
hand with being an ally. Being
an ally, Fadale said, is an
important part of support for
those who arent transgender.
I think one of the biggest things that can be
done about this is allyship,
Fadale said. Every microagression, every microinvalidation you hear, you need to
say something. You need to
iterate why what that person
said is wrong.
An overall message from
the vigil was that allies and
transgender students need to
work together to bring about
change in the perception of
transgender people.
While it can be a pain
in the ass, while it can be
uncomfortable, I always hope
trans people are willing to
step up and do some education. I do want allies to do
that too, Keisling said.

The 28th annual Orange

County Rape Crisis Center
holiday auction saw a new
twist on the traditional silent
auction mobile bidding.
Bidders were able to view
the items on display and use
their smartphones to bid on
various items at the touch of a
button. Each item was donated by restaurants, businesses
and individuals in the community, and all money raised

Although the event has

Liz Kazal, field director of Environment North

can start laying the groundwork for a clean energy future

There is a negative air

Its a constant influx of just

The negative atmosphere,
Fadale said, can go away
when students stop misgendering transgender students

When people start making
these changes, making these
conscious decisions to change

difficult for graduate students

to attend.
The letter was drafted by
the executive board of GPSF
with suggestions from former
GPSF presidents. It has been
signed by more than 1,400
undergraduate and graduate
students as well as UNC faculty, staff, and administration.
We were hoping at least to
hit a thousand, GPSF interim
President Marissa Cann said.
Weve been pretty pleased
with the turnout so far as signatures go.
But not all GPSF senators
signed the letter or agree with
the decision to separate from
the undergraduate student
government, including Julien
Isnard. He said he does not
think there has been enough
discussion about both sides of
the conflict between Student
Congress and GPSF.
My co-senator and I went
to talk to someone on the other
side of it, and, hearing a little
bit of both, we thought that its
really unclear what is actually
happening, Isnard said. So we
just need to take some time to
figure it out before we do anything big like separating after
40-something years.
Cann said she doesnt know
if administrators will be ready
to take action right when
they receive the letter, but she
thinks itll open up discussions.
I anticipate that theyre
going to receive the letter and
be brought into awareness as
far as all the issues that have
been going on between the
GPSF and Student Congress,
she said.

Tucker Hume stepped into a new

role for the North Carolina mens soccer
team on Sunday night.
But the script stayed the same.
The redshirt junior recorded a goal
and an assist in the No. 4 Tar Heels 2-1
win over No. 20 Coastal Carolina in the
second round of the NCAA tournament.
Hume, normally a super-sub for
the Tar Heels offense, got a rare start
in the matchup. And the newly-minted
starter quickly made a difference.
Weve been talking all week about
doing something positive, he said. Just
starting out on the right foot.
But it was Humes left foot that
kicked things off for the Tar Heels.
Two minutes into the game, sophomore David October crossed a ball

into the box, forcing the Chanticleers

goalkeeper to parry. But the ball landed
at the left foot of Hume, who tucked it
into the back of the net for his conference-best 11th goal of the season.
The early goal UNCs fastest of the
year helped set the tone offensively.
Obviously the first couple of balls
you get, you want to do something
well with it because it helps your confidence, Hume said.
The forward learned he would get
the start days after it was announced
the Tar Heels would face Coastal
Carolina in the second round.
Coach Carlos Somoanos decision to
start Hume was heavily influenced by
the height of the Chanticleers who
feature six players 6-foot-4 or taller.
You see a very tall team in Coastal
Carolina, and once we took (Hume) off
the field for a few minute break, they
had a couple set pieces that got a little
hairy, Somoano said of his 6-foot-5 forward. He helped us match-up.
Hume covered the entirety of the
pitch, especially in the final 10 minutes.
UNC held a one-goal lead with just over

five minutes left in the match when

Hume connected with Zach Wright to
put the Tar Heels up 2-0.
I just chested the ball to the middle
and I saw Zach pulling away. No one was
marking him, and then I knew Zach was
one-on-one with the goalie, Hume said.
It turned out to be the game winner.
When Coastal Carolina answered with
three minutes left to cut the deficit to
one, UNC went all-out defensively. Hume
moved back into his half and helped his
defense stifle the Chanticleers.
When it came time in those last
three minutes, everybody was back
there to help out, said redshirt senior
goalkeeper Sam Euler.
With Humes performance, size might
not be the only reason Somoano integrated the reserve into the starting 11.
I just figured Tucker is pretty good
and I think it worked out pretty good
tonight, he said.
It seems to be no different whether
he comes off the bench or starts. He is
just producing right now.

All good things must come

to an end.
In the final game for its
historic senior class, the No.
1 North Carolina field hockey
teams season culminated in
the national championship
game against No. 2 Syracuse
a rematch from North
Carolinas Final Four defeat a
season ago.
But in a tense finale, the
Tar Heels (21-3) fell 4-2 to
the Orange (21-1), which
won its first national title in
school history.
Its a shame we didnt win
today, Coach Karen Shelton
said. These kids have been a
very, very special team to me.
Syracuse came out of the
gate firing, scoring in the
ninth minute to take an
early advantage.
The early goal I think set
us back, Shelton said.We
always talk about trying to
land the first blow. And when
you get punched in the nose,
your eyes water a little bit.
Syracuse continued pressuring UNC throughout the
first half, netting another goal
in the 18th minute to give the
Orange a 2-0 lead heading
into intermission.
At halftime we just said,
Youve got to go for it. Its the
national championship game,
youve got to fight, Shelton
said. Who cares if you lose,
but go down swinging.
The Tar Heels came out of
the break inspired. Sophomore
Gab Major UNCs leading
scorer notched a goal less
than three minutes into the
second half, and first-year
Malin Evert knotted the score
in the 56th minute.

This is our last game of

season, but we need to think
about the seniors this is
their last game ever junior
Julia Young said.
I think they were the biggest motivator for all of us.
The Tar Heels seemed to
capture the proverbial pendulum of momentum but the
Orange swung back, scoring a
goal three minutes later.
Two minutes later, UNC
pulled junior goalie Shannon
Johnson to gain an offensive advantage. Moments
later, Syracuse struck again
securing a 4-2 lead and a
national championship.
Obviously it stinks losing
and theres no way around it,
senior captain Emily Wold
said. But this has been by far
the most incredible season
in my fours years here.
The loss marked the final
game for UNCs graduating class seniors Casey Di
Nardo, Nina Notman and
Wold, along with redshirt
junior Rachel Black which
accounted for 43 percent of
the teams goals this year and
reached the Final Four in
each of the past four seasons.
Our seniors have helped
set a tone and set a culture that (the team has)
embraced, Shelton said.
Young, who has flourished
this season as a defensive
leader, described the seniors
as more like a family and
expressed how influential the
senior class has been for the
younger members of the team.
Despite their departure,
Wold is confident in the her
teammates future success.
Its just so amazing to see
the growth and development
from each player, she said. I
cant wait to watch in the
years to come what UNC is
going to do. I know there will
be a championship soon. One
is coming.

Henderson twins fuel UNCs win over Gardner-Webb

WRESTLING

NORTH CAROLINA
25
GARDNER-WEBB12
By Kevin Mercer
Staff Writer

Through two matches on

Saturday, the No. 19 North Carolina
wrestling team faced a 6-0 deficit
against Gardner-Webb.
But both of those losses came
before the Henderson twins hit the
mat.
Redshirt senior Evan Henderson
tallied a pin during his match, giving the Tar Heels (3-1) their first
points of the night. Moments later,
his brother redshirt senior Robert
Henderson won his bout to give
UNC a lead it wouldnt relinquish
and an eventual 25-12 win on
Saturday at Chapel Hill High School.
Theyre putting the team on
their shoulders, Coach Coleman
Scott said.
Scott in his first year as UNCs
head coach said he wanted his
senior leaders, like the Henderson
twins, to demonstrate to the younger
wrestlers what it takes to win.
Scott said he likes the manner in

which the brothers approached their

bouts and how they demonstrated
to the younger wrestlers on the team
the intensity needed for each dual.
We need to feed off each other
lead by example, he said. They feed
off each other. Its a snowball effect.
Winning is contagious.
Robert Henderson said he owed
much of his development as a wrestler to his brothers presence.
I wouldnt be here without him
and he wouldnt be here without
me, he said.
Its nice having these last five
years together because the real
world is coming up and we wont
be together as much. But still, its
exciting.
After the twins notched the Tar
Heels first two victories of the night,
the team carried that momentum
through the conclusion of the dual,
only dropping one more match at
the 285-pound division.
The rest of the team caught the
winning bug after the Henderson
twins put away their competitors. The Tar Heels won four
straight matches following Robert
Hendersons 10-2 decision.
I didnt want to go back to the
bench knowing I could have scored a
little bit more, he said.

They feed off each

other. Its a snowball
effect. Winning is
contagious
Coleman Scott
North Carolina wrestling coach

But Scott said a lack of toughness

was the cause for the teams three
defeats to a team with no nationally
ranked wrestlers.
There were some ugly losses,
Scott said. I didnt think we were
tough enough.
On this night, the Henderson
brothers showed the toughness
Scott desired. Scott noted Evan
Hendersons resiliency in overcoming a worthy opponent to eventually
earn a pin.
Thats what I wanted, Scott said.
Thats what we need to keep striving for to be better and better and
to put the team on your back and
always do more.
The Hendersons have come to
embody the uncompromising spirit
Scott champions one that helped
Scott to win a national championship at Oklahoma State and an
Olympic bronze medal in 2012.

Redshirt first-year Cory Daniel grapples against a Gardner-Webb opponent
Saturday evening at Chapel Hill High School. UNC beat Gardner Webb 25-12.

Scott said he knows the team

will have to adopt the toughness
of the Henderson brothers to keep
winning throughout the teams
challenging schedule.
Robert Henderson said the teams
leaders are trying to equip the young-

er wrestlers for the postseason.

Its not here yet, but our main
goal is March, he said.
The Tar Heels arent ready yet
but the Henderson brothers are.

Williams overcomes turnover deja vu against Virginia Tech

By Logan Ulrich
Assistant Sports Editor

BLACKSBURG, VA. As the

ball kept popping loose and the
rabid crowd at Lane Stadium roared
louder and louder, no one on the
North Carolina sideline could shake
the feeling of here we go again.
Just like in the season-opening
loss to South Carolina, redshirt
senior quarterback Marquise
Williams had turned the ball over
three times. And just like before, it
was Williams who was going to be
the difference in a UNC win or loss.
Yet this was a different Williams
than the one who threw a game-

ending interception in the end zone

against the Gamecocks.
Back in August, I didnt have
short-term memory, said Williams
after UNCs 30-27 overtime win.
There was too much going on, but
I knew we had to get this win as a
team and we had to keep fighting
and keep that grit going.
No one in Carolina Blue had a
short-term memory. The specter of
the loss to South Carolina loomed on
Saturday, as Williams fumbled twice
in the final five minutes of the fourth
quarter with UNC leading 24-10.
This cant happen twice, I
cant have another game like
South Carolina, Williams says he

remembered thinking.
But Coach Larry Fedora said
Williams came to the sideline after his
second fumble and said, Im good.
Marquise was never shaken,
Fedora said. I cant say the same
for me.
The Hokies scored two straight
touchdowns to tie the game, then
kicked a field goal to take a threepoint lead in overtime. A sellout
crowd for legendary coach Frank
Beamers final home game roared as
they sensed victory within reach.
Then Williams exorcised the
ghost of his performance that cost
his team its only loss of the season.
I just put it behind me, Williams

said. I knew I had playmakers

beside me, just put the ball in their
area and theyre going to catch it.
He found junior receiver Ryan
Switzer on an 18-yard strike to take
the ball inside the Virginia Tech 10.
After two runs sandwiching a false
start, UNC faced third-and-goal
from the 5-yard line.
He did not get fazed by the turnovers or anything, senior receiver
Quinshad Davis said. I would say in
the first game he was kind of shook
up from the turnovers and felt like
it was all on him. But we were able
to comfort him in this game, and he
felt like, OK, we made a mistake,
now lets go get it.

Williams took the snap, then

immediately turned and fired the
ball to Davis back shoulder the
only place where either Davis would
catch it or no one would.
Williams cant change the past.
He cant unthrow the interceptions
or hang on to the lost fumbles. But if
he could, he might not.
Thats what made me who I am
today, Williams said. I seize every
adversity as opportunity.
Davis caught the pass and held on
with both feet down in the end zone,
giving UNC its winning touchdown
and Williams his redemption.
