UNC Student Stores renovations projected to begin in April

The renovations were part of the
contract to privatize the stores.
By Lorcan Farrell
Staff Writer
A reorganized floor plan including new
homes for Bulls Head Bookshop and text-
books are in the plans for UNC Student Stores
upcoming renovation.
Student Stores is currently accepting
bids from general contractors. The renova-
tions are projected to start in mid-April and
are planned to finish by the first of August,
Michele Gretch Carter, the Student Stores
director, said.
Barnes & Noble College, the owner of
Student Stores, agreed to conduct and finance
the improvements when they purchased the
store from the University last year. According
to the contract, Barnes & Noble College must
invest at least $3.8 million toward the renova-
tions.
The goal for the renovations is to turn
Student Stores into more than just a store,
Gretch Carter said.
We are trying to make it more of a gather-
ing place, she said. So we have the regular
bookstore and everything that we have now,
but at the same time, we want to make it a
place people want to be, to hang out.
In order to accomplish this, the tech shop,
One Card office and Post Office will move up
to the third floor to join the pharmacy and
the Print Stop & Copy Center. This will con-
solidate all the services into one location. Also
moving up to the third floor is the Bulls Head
Bookshop, which may undergo other changes.
We have gotten a lot of feedback about
what people would like the Bulls Head to
be, Gretch Carter said. We are working with
those constituencies to get some feedback
about what will our content really look like.
Part of the reasoning behind shifting ser-
vices and the tech shop to the top floor is to
make room for textbooks and school supplies
on the ground level.
Getting everybody up to the third floor
during our peak time for textbooks, order
pickup and things like that, its really hard to
maneuver all those people up to the third floor
and then maneuver them all the way down,
Gretch Carter said. With it being on the first

Esquire magazine

Everyone knows that UNC

name it, UNCs got it.
And according to an article
Esquire recently published,
UNC is also one of the top 10
colleges with the most attrac-
tive guys.
Other schools in the top
10 include Florida State
University, University of
Colorado and West Virginia
University (the top spot).
The data came from a dat-
ing app called Clover, which
ranked UNC in the ninth spot
on the list.
I think its accurate to a
degree, said Claire Lancaster,
a first-year psychology major.
I have a boyfriend so its hard
for me to look at other guys,
but overall I think we are an
attractive school.

I think there are some
cute people here, she said.
But what makes a person
attractive? Its obvious that
physical features play a major
role in how people perceive
attractiveness, but there have
to be other contributing fac-
tors.
Is it a witty sense of humor,
big brains or natural-born
talent?
Intelligence for me is
really attractive, Lancaster
said. I also think humor and
acceptance are attractive.
Yoon said she finds people
who are hardworking, caring

But where do peoples
perceptions of attractiveness
come from?
Yoon said that a lot of
times, perceptions of attrac-

the characteristics she values
come from her dad.
Neal Thomas, a professor

people find attractive are often

one factor is very difficult,
Thomas said.
But overall, Thomas said
media have had a huge
impact on the way people
view attractiveness, especially
now that there are so many
forms of media.
The short answer is that
media has always influenced
how we perceive people as
being attractive or not, but I
think that it has been inten-
sified because we now have
more personalized and por-
table and ubiquitous media,
Thomas said.
The rise of social media has
also created a very visual way
to measure attractiveness.
We had, in the near past,
things like television that were
setting up our sense of ideal
types of attractiveness, he said.
But now, there are so many
more different forces that are
enacting upon how we con-
ceive attractiveness, whether
its social media platforms
like Instagram, where we
inevitably compare ourselves
to others. And we have dating

Coastal Such a good temperament

wind farm
becomes
operational
The turbines are officially
operational despite concerns
about radar interference.
By Natalie Short
Staff Writer

Amazon Wind Farm became the first

fully operational, utility-scale wind farm
in North Carolina last week after it
was declared commercially operational
earlier this month.
The wind farm of 104 wind turbines,
located near Elizabeth City, was built
by Avangrid Renewables. It produces
enough energy to power more than
61,000 homes, according to Avangrids
website.
Avangrid Communications Manager
Paul Copleman said the property taxes
will total $520,000 annually, making it
the largest taxpayer in both Pasquotank
and Perquimans counties.
Its not just about clean energy its
about North Carolina companies build-
ing this project, its about farmers ben-
efitting long-term from this project and
its about the tax money thats going to
flow into the community from this proj-
ect long-term, he said.
Rep. Bob Steinburg, R-Pasquotank,
said tax revenue was an important ben-
efit of the turbines.
In these small counties, one of the
ways they have to tax is just to increase
the real estate tax and folks usually dont
want that, he said. This is a way for the
counties to address their needs.
Copleman said about 500 people were
employed in the construction of the proj-
ect, and there will be a permanent crew
of 17 staff members while the farm is in
full operation.
June Blotnick, executive director of
Clean Air Carolina, said the state is ideal
for wind energy projects because of its
coastal winds.
North Carolina has the strongest
offshore wind potential than any other
state along the Atlantic seaboard, said
Blotnick. And we must take advantage
of this to improve the environment, our
health and the economy.
But ten Republican state legislators
sent a letter opposing the project to U.S.
Secretary of Homeland Security Gen.
John Kelly.
The letter expressed concern that the
500-foot-tall windmills would interfere
with the surveillance signal of the relo-
catable over-the-horizon radar facility
operated by the U.S. Navy on the North
Carolina-Virginia border.
There should have been specific and
extremely strict rules and regulations
that would have quickly (and automati-
cally) rectified any situation caused by
the wind project that would adversely
undermine the functioning of this
important Homeland Security asset, the
letter said.
Kelly has not yet responded to the let-
ter, and the signatories did not respond
to requests for comment.
Both Copleman and Steinburg are con-
fident, despite concerns voiced in the let-
ter, that Avangrid worked closely with the
military to get its approval for the project.
Copleman said there was a detailed
process for the project to be approved by
state, federal and military authorities.
This was the militarys own scientists
on site and in consultation with us to
evaluate how the project would or would
not interact with their capabilities, and
ultimately we reached an agreement
where theyre comfortable letting us
build and operate, he said.
Steinburg said prior to former
President Barack Obamas administra-
tion, the military talked about the need
for a diversified energy supply.
We need to find a way for the renew-
able folks to be able to work with the
military, which they had to do on this
project, to ensure that both can not only
survive, but thrive, he said.

The prize? A free laser tattoo

Chapel Hill.
We were thinking about
Valentines Day and people who
may have gotten a tattoo in their
past that they regretted, said
Lauryn Colatuno, digital develop-

ing about Valentines Day specifi-
cally and tattoos for romantic pur-
poses, Taylor said. We know from
performing laser procedures here
for tattoo removal how much they
can hold people back and prevent
them from moving forward with
their life.
The public was then able to vote
on which story they sympathized
with the most.
A total of nine people entered
the contest. One submitted a wed-
ding ring tattoo that was inked
on a 20th anniversary, which the
person tried to cover up after a
divorce that occurred before they
could celebrate their 21st. Another

Trump fires national
security advisor
WASHINGTON (MCT)
-- President Donald Trump
knew for three weeks that
former national security
adviser Michael Flynn mis-
represented his contacts with
a Russian diplomat before
firing him under pressure, the
White House acknowledged
Tuesday, offering an account
of Flynns downfall that dif-

After days of questions
about whether Flynn had spo-

to the U.S. in December about
new sanctions implemented
by the Obama administra-

said Monday that Trump was

Trumps review appeared to
come to a swift conclusion
with the announcement that
he had accepted Flynns resig-
nation Monday night.
But on Tuesday, the White
House said Flynns actions
had been under internal
review for three weeks. And
while the White House con-

Students use Granville Towers Room Draft
By Jenni Ciesielski
This time last year, sopho-
more Olivia Wilkins knew she
wanted to live with her closest
friends; she just wasnt sure the
best way to make it happen.
She wanted to stay in a
residence hall setting after
spending her first year on
South Campus. Then she
heard about Granville Towers
Room Draft Day, when resi-
dents get to pick their room
and their neighbors in an
easy, in-person draft.
I lived with some of my
good friends last year, and
wanted to live with them
again, Wilkins said. At the
time, on-campus housing
didnt offer Room Draft like
Granville did.
Granville Towers Room
Draft selection process helps
residents not only find their
community, but keep it.
Cheekily modeled after the
NFL Draft, it allows return-
ing students to pick out their
room for the upcoming year
by physically placing a pin on
a poster of Granvilles layout
to draft their room choice.
The process allows for
large groups of friends to pick
their rooms at the same time,
and even take up an entire
hallway if they want to.
Allison Hinson, Granvilles
leasing and marketing man-
ager, said she thought the
Room Draft helps people
further build upon the friend-
ships theyve made over the
past year in Granville and
personalize their housing
choices.
I find people make strong
friendships their first year,
Hinson said. Senior Chandler
Albert did the Room Draft
her first year and said it was
the best choice for being able
to live with her five close
friends.
Students who already live
in Granville had the first-
round pick for Room Draft,
which was Thursday, Jan. 26.
Residents lined up before the
map of Granvilles room set
up hanging on the west side
of the Agora. They grabbed a
pin and placed it on whichever

Carolina Jazz Festival celebrates 40 years

The festival will
include Latin jazz and
Cuban dance music.
By Marco Quiroz-Guiterrez
Staff Writer
Today, the UNC
Department of Music will
pay tribute to classic jazz and
its many modern variations
in its biggest jazz event of
the year the Carolina Jazz
Festival.
This will be the 40th
anniversary of the festival,
and it will feature famous
guest artists Marcus Roberts
and Dayna Stephens, each
of whom will perform side-
by-side with UNC students,
faculty and high school
orchestras.
The festival will run until
Saturday.
Music professor Jim Ketch
has directed the event since
the first festival in 1977.
He said he sees himself as
an advocate for jazz at the
University and is especially
excited to be able to bring
such excellent jazz artists to
the UNC campus this year.
If I can be successful in
bringing in guest artists with
international fame, then the
students are going to get a
chance to rub shoulders with
people that could be helpful
to them after they graduate,
he said.
The students who get to
meet and sometimes play
with these artists also see the
value in bringing big names
to the jazz festival.
Atticus Reynolds, a senior
music major, said the festival
is great because the guest
artists stay on campus for
a longer time than they are
able to do at other times of
the year.
He said he has kept in
touch with past guest artist
Etienne Charles.
(Charles) texted me one
time when I was in New
York and invited me to go see
DAngelo with Questlove and
all these people in New York
and it was amazing to see
that, he said.
One of the students per-
forming with both the jazz
combos and the big band is
first-year music and geology
major Ben Thyer.
Thyer said the performers
have devoted copious hours to
the festival since the semes-
ter began, rehearsing three
times a week and practicing
through the campus closure
caused by the water crisis ear-
lier this month.
When the water crisis
happened, most of us showed
up and we had a rehearsal
even though it started after
like two hours after that
message went out and Ketch
didnt send anything, we just
knew, he said.
Although the festival will
feature mostly jazz and jazz
variations from the United
States, some Latin jazz and
Cuban dance music will also
be played.
On Thursday at 7:30 p.m.,
professor of ethnomusicol-
ogy David Garcia will direct
UNCs Latin music ensemble,
Charanga Carolina, while
they perform songs by Celia
Cruz, Tito Puente and Ray
Barretto.
Its a perfect fit because
were able to represent the
Latin side of jazz music his-
tory and were able to do
Latin jazz as well as very tra-
ditional Cuban dance music
and everything in between,
Garcia said.

Duke study reveals fishy business FAC talks athlete majors

A study uncovered
high levels of
selenium in NC lakes.
By Olivia Slagle
Senior Writer
Research conducted by
Duke University reported
high levels of selenium in
fish in lakes adjacent to Duke
Energy power plants.
Selenium, often found in
coal ash, is naturally occurring
and beneficial to aquatic life at
low levels. But at slightly high-
er levels, it can cause abnor-
mal development in fish and
aquatic birds, according to the
study published in the journal
of Environmental Science and
Technology Feb. 6.
Study leader Jessica
Brandt, a Ph.D. candidate
at Dukes Nicholas School of
the Environment, said in an
email the problem isnt spe-
cific to Duke Energy.
The issue of elevated sele-
nium in freshwater lakes is a
consequence of many factors
including lake size and depth,
hydrological connectivity to
freshwater inputs and outputs
and the rate of element load-
ing from the ash pond to the
freshwater system, she said.
The results are important
during the policymaking pro-
cess to determine where or
if energy companies can dis-
charge waste to fresh water-
ways, she said.
Researchers tested water,
sediment and fish from six
North Carolina lakes, three
with a history of high seleni-
um levels and three without,
in early 2015.
Selenium levels in 83 per-
cent of fish muscle samples
from Sutton Lake exceeded
EPA criteria for safe levels.
More than a quarter of the
samples from Mayo Lake
exceeded the same criteria.
Samples from Mountain
Island Lake were low enough
to meet EPA regulations.
Erin Culbert, communi-
cations manager at Duke
Energy, said in an email
there has been no evidence
of declining fish health in
Sutton Lake in more than
three decades of observation.
Catch rates, reproduction
and relative weight are typi-
cal measures of fish health,
Culbert said. All three dem-
onstrate a thriving fish popu-
lation in Sutton Lake.
Culbert said Duke Energy
has already taken significant
steps to reduce selenium.
The Sutton and Riverbend
coal plants have retired, and
ash basins are being safely
closed, she said. The Mayo
Plant continues to operate to
serve customers and already
uses the latest technology for
managing ash dry in a lined
landfill.
Frank Holleman, senior
attorney at the Southern
Environmental Law Center,
said Duke Energy has suf-
fered legal consequences for
coal ash pollution in the past.
Because of legal action
taken by the SELC in 2013,
Duke Energy stopped produc-
ing electricity by burning coal
at the Sutton Lake plant and
has moved its coal ash stor-
age from unlined storage bins
that were contributing to pol-
lution, Holleman said.
But he said the situation at
Mayo Lake is worse.
We have a state and a
separate federal lawsuit against
Duke for its illegal pollution
at Mayo Lake, he said. We
are seeking to require that it
remove its ash from the leaking
lagoon and move it to Dukes
next door dry line landfill.
Culbert said fish tissue
selenium levels at Mayo Lake
are declining and there is
not evidence of impaired fish
health. The unlined ash basin
will close, she said.
In fact, annual monitor-
ing shows relative weights
of largemouth bass indicate
healthy, robust fish, she said.

The committee also
discussed bonuses for
academic progress.
By Jacob Hancock
Staff Writer
Faculty Athletics
Representative Lissa Broome
gave an update on the NCAA
Annual Convention and
Athletic Director Bubba
Cunningham discussed
coaches contracts at the
Faculty Athletics Committee
(FAC) meeting Tuesday.
What happened?
FAC met to review the
NCAA Annual Convention
and ACC governance meet-
ings, as well as discuss the
compensation of coaches for
academic performance and
the clustering of athletes into
specific majors.
Who spoke?
Broome gave a report
on legislation proposed
during the NCAA Annual
Convention, including one
proposal that allowed coaches
to award financial aid to
student-athletes if they have
money left over in their
budget. UNC opposed the
proposal, but the University
was outvoted by other schools
73-7.
The reason we opposed
it, unsuccessfully, was that
coaches could potentially set
up competition between ath-
letes, which we didnt think
would be a healthy situation,
Broome said.
UNC also opposed another
piece of legislation that was
passed at the convention
requiring teams to have one
day off per week during pre-
season practice periods.
This will potentially back
it up into starting football
camp during the final exams
of second summer session,
Broome said.
Cunningham explained
the academic performance
clauses included in coaches
contracts. The clauses state
should the team reach a cer-
tain Academic Progress Rate,
the coach is able to receive a
bonus.
A teams Academic
Progress Rate is computed
each semester based on how
many scholarship athletes are
eligible and maintain eligibil-
ity.
Its not the only metric we
use to determine how suc-
cessful we are academically,
Cunningham said. It is the
only metric we use to award
a bonus.
coaches could
potentially set
up competition
between athletes
Lissa Broome
Faculty athletics representative
Some members voiced con-
cern that this sort of reward
system could cause coaches
to discourage athletes from
pursuing what some may per-
ceive as more difficult majors.
David Guilkey, a mem-
ber of FAC, presented data
involving trends in student-
athlete majors compared to
non-athletes from 2012 to
2016. The data shows 26.2
percent of athletes majored
in exercise and sport science,
compared to 5.4 percent of
non-athletes.
Deborah Stroman, another
member of FAC, said she felt
this may be a concern going
forward.
What does it look like
for our University for a great
number of our athletes to
be majoring in exercise and
sport science? Stroman said.
I know the rigor of the
EXSS, but do we want to
reflect on that? Where is this
going? Are we OK with this?

Seventh Woods shows improvement

By John Bauman
Assistant Sports Editor
There werent a whole
lot of positives in the North
Carolina mens basketball
teams 86-78 loss to Duke on
Thursday night, but Seventh
Woods was one of them. The
first-year scored four points,
had four assists and crucially
committed zero turnovers
in eight minutes of action
against the Blue Devils.
His biggest highlight was
a right-handed rocket pass to
fellow first-year Tony Bradley,
who was wide open under
the basket and dunked. After
throwing the pass, Woods put
his head down and ran back
on defense, knowing his work
on that possession was done.
He had a good eight min-
utes there in Durham the
other night, he really did,
head coach Roy Williams said
Tuesday at UNCs press con-
ference.
The Duke game was the
high point of a promising
stretch from the young point
guard. In his past three
games, Woods has had seven
assists and, more importantly,
no turnovers.
Giveaways were a problem
for Woods early on in the
season in North Carolinas
Dec. 4 game against Radford,
for example, Woods had five
turnovers and just one assist
in 22 minutes of play. But hes
improving, fellow point guard
Joel Berry said.
The biggest thing for
Seventh is just not turning
over the ball, Berry said.
Hes done a very good job of
keeping the ball and getting
his team shots in practice.
Some of the turnovers are
simple first-year mistakes,
but others are the result of
Woods athleticism oozing
too much into his play. The
turnovers from early in the
season when Woods played
too quickly or tried to do too
much are the frustrating ones
for UNC.
There are times to break
out a spin move and attack
the basket, as Woods has
shown the ability to do. But
there are also times to just
dump the ball in the post to
Kennedy Meeks or Isaiah
Hicks. Woods is starting to
discover that balance during
ACC play.
It helps that the first-year
guard is starting to turn the
corner on some lingering
injuries that impacted his
play in the first half of the DTH FILE/NATHAN KLIMA
season. North Carolina guard Seventh Woods (21) attempts a shot against N.C. State on Jan. 8. He has cut down on his turnovers during ACC play.

Lynch, Wike lead young UNC softball into new season

The Tar Heels are
projected to finish
fourth in the ACC.
By Jordanna Clark
Staff Writer
The North Carolina soft-
ball team enters the season
projected to finish fourth
in the ACC behind Florida
State, Louisville and Notre
Dame. Heres what to expect
from UNC as it hosts Elon
at 4 p.m. today in its home
opener.
How do they play?
This years team features
a multitude of young faces,
with 10 first-years and only
eight returning players from
its 2016 team.
In the teams opening
weekend in Puerto Rico,
first-year Brittany Pickett led
the Tar Heels to their first
win of the season against
California, going 2-for-3
at the plate and pitching
a complete game. UNC is
returning 87.6 percent of its
innings pitched from last
season including redshirt
sophomore Sydney Matzko,
who missed the bulk of last
season due to an injury
but is looking to fill the void
that has been left behind the
plate.
Who stands out?
Kendra Lynch, senior
pitcher and designated player:
Lynch is set to be the veteran
face on the mound and at the
plate for a team with such
a young roster. During the
opening weekend, Lynch hit
two home runs in two straight
at-bats in UNCs 7-3 win over
Georgia Tech.
And after being a constant
presence on the mound as
UNCs only true starter in
2016 she earned first-team
All-ACC honors and ranked
seventh in the country in wins
(28) Lynch will continue to
be a force on an experienced
pitching staff.
Taylor Wike, junior short-
stop: After ranking in the top
10 in the ACC in doubles (13)
during her sophomore year,
Wike will be one of the vet-
eran core-hitters for the Tar
Heels. Wike started 55 games
at second base for UNC last
year and only missed one
game throughout the entire
2016 season, showing the
type of consistency that will
be essential for a developing
UNC team.
Wike will make the move
to shortstop this season,
where she will try to fill the
shoes of 2016 first-team All-
American Kristen Brown

3 things to know from UNC baseball media day
The Tar Heels look
to rebound after two
difficult seasons.
Sam Doughton
Staff Writer
On Tuesday, the North
Carolina baseball team held
its media day. Here are three
stories to watch out for as
the Tar Heels head into their
season-opening series this
weekend against Kentucky.
Postseason drought
UNC enters the season
after failing to hear its name
called on Selection Monday
the past two seasons. In 2016,
the Tar Heels were left out
despite being ranked 19th in
RPI by the seasons end.
Its pretty embarrassing,
junior Brian Miller said.
A hot start to last year had
expectations high for the rest
of the season. But a 13-17
showing in ACC play kept the
Tar Heels on the outside look-
ing in.
Theres only 30 (games)
that count, head coach Mike
Fox said.
UNC knows it has the tal-
ent to make it back to the
NCAA Tournament because
they compete with teams that
make it every year.
If you looked around
those regionals, we prob-
ably beat a majority of those
teams, junior shortstop
Logan Warmoth said, point-
ing out blowout wins over
ECU and a close loss against
national champion Coastal
Carolina as evidence of UNCs
strength.
But, UNC is not going to
let last year affect them.
Youve just to move on,
be in the present, Warmoth

system (e-cigarette), please join an important study on smokers being
conducted by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS).
Whats Required?
One visit to donate blood, urine, and saliva samples
Samples will be collected at the NIEHS Clinical Research Unit in
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina
Volunteers will be compensated up to $60
Who Can Participate?
Healthy men and women aged 18-55
Current cigarette smokers or users of nicotine-containing e-cigarettes

The following Saturday,
Feb. 11, tens of thousands of
people lined the streets of

the State Capitol to demand

The United States
Congress goes into recess
next week. From Feb. 18
to 26, officials from the
House and the Senate
should be back in their
home states meeting with
constituents. In a num-
ber of states, members of
Congress have announced
they will be speaking at
Tillis, to announce, pub-
licize and hold open town
halls.
Now, we understand
that town halls, like the
one held by Utahs Jason
Chaffetz, have been rowdy
affairs lately. Disruption
can be useful in certain
instances, but we are ask-
ing for people to simply go
speak with their represen-
tatives. If our representa-
tives refuse to listen we
can discuss other means,
but for now, advocacy is
best.

SATIRICAL ADVICE COLUMN
for your representative.
As Rousseau told us,
sovereign people can
never be fully represented
in a democracy.
That said, we must still
try to hold our elected
leaders to high standards.
If we cannot even make
an effort to do so, then
this country could get a lot
worse.
Remember, 2018 is
coming. A lot of politi-
cians will be up for re-
election. Lets show them
what people really want
and need.
Failing to work with our
legislators would limit both
the ability of the legislature
to meet the needs of the
University and the ability of
the University to meet the
needs of the state.
Going forward, the
DTH should stick to facts
and evidence, rather than
launching baseless attacks
that fail to grasp the reali-
ties of the functioning of
state and federal govern-
ment.

You Asked for It

America. The events of this
weekend reminded me and
the leaders of the Moral March
stressed that organizing
in N.C., the South and every-
where is vital for progress.
Can we change the South?
Have we even tried?
If we do not start orga-
nizing in the South, we will
never win. The truth is, on
the issues we are the major-
ity, everywhere. A High Point
University poll found that 77
percent of North Carolinian
respondents say they favor
raising taxes to get teacher
pay to the national average in
five years. Raising taxes. This
certainly is not consistent with
what we expect from a state
that has a filibuster-proof con-
servative majority in the house.
On a state and national level
we have to move away from
status quo politics and the
corporately controlled political
parties that we see today.
So upon graduation, I urge
you all to stay. Be here. Think
local. Fight here.
There are problems every-
where, but, in my view, they are
much worse in the South than
in other areas of the country. Be
part of change here. Resist here.
