UNC coping with injured secondary
Davis missing several defensive backs “I feel like Coach
by Aaron Taube
Assistant Sports Editor
The number of healthy bodies
available to the North Carolina
secondary continued to dwindle
Monday, when it announced that
redshirt freshman cornerback
Terry Shankle tore his left ACL
against William & Mary and will
miss the remainder of the season.
Shankle’s absence this Saturday
against Florida State will make him
the 30th scholarship player to miss
a game this year due to injury or
the NCAA and University’s inves-
tigations.
The ACL tear comes on the heels
of injuries sustained by fellow cor-
nerbacks Tre Boston and Mywan
Jackson that kept the pair out
against William & Mary.
UNC coach Butch Davis said he
did not know whether Jackson or
Boston would be available to play
in Tallahassee.
“I think that Terry represents, I
believe (team spokesman) Kevin
(Best) said, the fifth corner that
we’re without this season,” Davis
said. “There’s not very many
schools in the country where you
start getting into your sixth, sev-
enth and eighth corner in a very
good position.”
The lack of depth in the defen-
sive backfield means the Tar Heels
might not be able to run certain
nickel and dime packages, which
use five and six defensive backs,
respectively.
Davis said he has considered
moving players to cornerback or
employing players he was planning
to redshirt, but that it was most
important for the players he’s been
using to perform to the best of their
abilities.
“Guys need to be more consis-
tent,” Davis said. “It’s not good
enough to just be good sporadi-
cally within a game, or within one
game, have two games where you’re
a pretty solid player, disappear for a
game. Some guys are going to have
to step up and take ownership and
responsibility for performing well
and playing well.”
This will be especially true

Four Loko won’t be banned at UNC, Duke
Some schools against the beverages
by estes gould
staff writer
The drink affectionately named
“devil in a can” and “liquid cocaine”
by its fans on Facebook soon could
leave shelves in many areas around
the country — but not at UNC.
Some lawmakers and universi-
ties are trying to ban Four Loko
and other alcoholic energy drinks,
claiming the potent mix of caf-
feine and alcohol is dangerous to
consumers.
UNC and Duke University offi-
cials said they have not seen signifi-
cant problems with the drinks.
But after several college students
drinking Four Loko were hospital-
ized for alcohol-related reasons at
schools in Washington and New
Jersey, a media frenzy erupted
around the products.
“It seems like everyone is waking
up at the same time to the unique
danger of this product,” said Linda
Schactler, director of public affairs
at Central Washington University.
The university has banned all
alcoholic energy drinks after an off-
campus party serving Four Loko
resulted in nine students being
DTH
sent to the hospital. One student
almost died, she said.
Schactler said the incident was
unprecedented.
“We have had parties and alco-
hol issues, but as far as I know, it
hasn’t been 50 people and nine
people weren’t sent to the hospital,”
she said. “That sets it apart.”
UNC has begun a discussion
about the beverages because of the
controversy.
The University has not received
any notices of problems involv-
ing the substances, so no policies
have been proposed yet, said Dean
Blackburn, assistant dean of stu-
dents at UNC.
Duke has not acted against the
substance either.
“At this time we are not planning
to do that, but we are monitoring
the situation,” said Keith Lawrence,
spokesperson for Duke.
A 23.5-ounce can of Four Loko
has an alcohol content of up to 12
percent — three times that of Bud
Light — and as much caffeine as a
cup of coffee.
The caffeine masks the sedative
effects of alcohol, allowing people

Student Central shut

touchdown on franklin

down in transition
By Andy Thomason
Assistant University Editor
The servers operating Student
Central were shut down Monday,
in one of the final steps of the
transfer from the old system to
ConnectCarolina as the University’s
online class registration tool.
But the key features not yet
available on the new system have
been preserved, even as Student
Central servers were decommis-
sioned.
University officials said the tran-
sition was seamless, with students
continuing to be able to access
grades and unofficial transcripts
through a site operated by differ-
ent servers.
The switch was made Friday,
said Chris Derickson, assistant
provost and University registrar.
said Debra Beller, information
communications specialist for
ConnectCarolina.
But ConnectCarolina does not
yet make unofficial transcripts
available to students because the
Office of the University Registrar
is still verifying that these records
were transferred correctly.
“They want to make sure it’s
right when they turn it all on,” said
Max Beckman-Harned, student
government’s technology and web
services committee co-chairman.
He added that the information —
composed of more than 10 million
grades collected since 1967 — is on
ConnectCarolina but is hidden.
“The system knows (the grades),”
he said. “We just can’t see them.”
Beller said the oldest grades are
the hardest to verify, and are the
looks exactly the same.
Derickson said that, had the
transition not been successful, it
would have been very inconvenient
for students, as registration begins
today.
“That would have been a bad
story,” he said.
For students, the verdict is still
out on ConnectCarolina.
Ureigh Houston, a junior psy-
chology and English major, said
he will miss Student Central.
“I liked the old system because
it was self-explanatory and simple,”
he said. “The new one is more com-
plicated.”
Katie Lyon, a sophomore psy-
chology major, said she welcomed
the decommissioning of Student
Central.
“There isn’t really anything from DTH/BJ Dworak

“It has become pretty much a
non-event,” Derickson said.
The servers were shut down
because their maintenance con-
tracts expired and they were not
needed for another year because
of the plans to switch systems,
ones delaying the process.
Grades will be available on
ConnectCarolina in December,
Derickson said.
He added that students try-
ing to access Student Central are
redirected to a new address, but it

many inmates with HIV already

Only one in 300 people in the

Wohl said, but one in 50 people
who go to prison has it.

“There’s usually only one piece

“HIV can live in a syringe for a

Many of the drugs inmates
inject through syringes, including
the painkiller oxycodone, are ille-
gal or require prescriptions, but
Childs said those drugs are going
to be in prisons no matter what jail
wardens do.
A major problem, Wohl said,
is that 25 percent of people who
have HIV don’t realize that they’re
infected and infect others without
realizing it.
N.C. prison statistics mirror
the national average: Acree said
the state’s average prison popula-
tion is about 40,000 inmates. In
September there were 767 cases of
HIV or AIDS, about 2 percent of
the prison population.
“Most inmates have this when
they come to prison,” he said. “We
just have to treat them while they’re
here.”

A
s any good college student
does on a daily basis, I
procrastinated the other
day. While squandering untold
precious hours of my quickly
dwindling time in Argentina, I
came across one of the most out-
rageous foreign political dramas I
could possibly imagine.
In the midst of economic
hardship, an unpopular war and
general malaise, a country elect-
ed an apparently bright young
visionary with an academic back-
ground and foreign-sounding
name who promised a new direc-
tion for the nation. Sadly, this
newfound hope quickly devolved
into the prevailing partisan quag-
mire in just a short time.
Within months one party subtly
accused the other of being benefi-
cial to corporations at the expense
of the people. The other was
convinced that the ruling party
intended a thinly-veiled takeover
of the nation. Both camps seemed
to agree that their opponents were
incompatible with the future of
the country. To make matters even
more confusing, a popular media
source was accusing the president
of being born in a different country
and thus disqualifying him for the
presidency.
I could hardly believe my eyes
as I learned more and more about
the convoluted politics of Peru
in the 1990s (Wait, what did you
think I was talking about?). The
fact that I can fairly accurately
compare the political mess of the
2010 midterm elections to that
of a developing South American
democracy — only years out of a
military dictatorship — should be
disappointing to us as Americans.
In a country with over 200 years
of popular elections, it appears
that the U.S. has not risen above
the tragic tactics of mud-slinging
and ad hominem attacks. Witness
the straw man bashing, attacking
“socialist” or “racist” agendas.
Calls to “punish” our enemies
abound. Sounds good, except
that the enemies in question are
our fellow citizens whose main
offense is having different ideas
than ours. It would appear from
the rhetoric being thrown around
casually that “they” (you know,
them) are at best fools and at
worst liars who should only bare-
ly be seen as a legitimate rival of
political expression.
As many “Yes We Can” stickers
as you may have and as much as
you despise the “know-nothing”
Tea Party, chances are that you
would not be willing to support
President Barack Obama if he
tried to dissolve Congress and
rule by fiat. Likewise, as much as
you rail against the “free-spend-
ing liberals,” you probably do not
want to see them overthrown and
rotting in jail. And if you do, you
probably need some help.
Thankfully, neither of those
scenarios will happen here.
Nonetheless, as the rising genera-
tion of the world’s greatest democ-
racy, we should think twice before
we dive headlong into the divisive
rhetoric of our forefathers.
I am not naive enough to think
that the nation has not at times
had very harsh political differenc-
es that were argued bitterly and
fell into attacks on candidates’
religion or youthful stupidity. Nor
am I pessimistic enough to think
that a few rough election cycles
endanger our democracy.
We should be very grateful
for that, because many of our
Southern neighbors do not fully
have that security.
But we should ask ourselves: Is
the ferocious, bitter and demean-
ing rivalry the best we can do?

Consider what it means that this is the last chance
this cycle to exercise your stake in democracy
Y
ou might still be recover-
ing from Halloween, but
there is still an election
today. And unless you avoided
the Pit for the last month, you
should be well aware of it.
Here, there’s much to care
about on the ballot.
There are of course the U.S.
Senate and House elections.
For the Senate, the outcome
between Sen. Richard Burr
and Elaine Marshall will either
minimize likely losses to the
Democratic majority, or solid-
ify likely Republican gains.
For the House race, incum-
bent Rep. David Price and
challenger B.J. Lawson very
well sum up both sides in
the current debate over our
nation’s future on matters
ranging from health care
reform, energy, the environ-
ment and even federal funding
to our University.
Granting wisely
Campus innovation grants are a great tool, but ASG
should make sure they are using students’ money well
C
ampus innovation grants
are a novel idea to help
promote individual proj-
ects at UNC-system schools. But
the UNC Association of Student
Governments must prioritize
the projects it is considering for
a grant by how much the proj-
ect will benefit students.
Over the weekend, ASG met
to evaluate applications for
these grants.
Five schools were awarded
money for projects that would
improve student life on cam-
pus, totaling $4,500 in all.
Among the awards given was
a $1,000 grant to UNC-CH’s
SafeWalk program. This is a
valuable service that mean-
ingfully contributes to student
safety.
A Halloween post-mortem
Chapel Hill is striking the balance between safety and fun
B
y all measures, this year’s
Halloween celebration
appears to have been a
success.
This great holiday was not
meant to be on a Sunday. With
important work and classes on
Monday, the holiday couldn’t
fully manifest itself.
But kudos to the students and
residents of Chapel Hill for mak-
ing it work the best they could.
With Lady Gagas chasing
Chilean miners who were par-
tying with “Jersey Shore” char-
acters, Franklin Street was just
as fun as always.
The reported number of
people on Franklin Street was
about 35,000. This was down
15,000 from last year’s unex-
pected increase in partiers.

Election Day
The editorial board endorsed
Price as the person whose ideas
in that debate best correspond
with the Fourth District’s
needs. Lawson dutifully ran
an anti-establishment, small-
government campaign — albeit
one at odds with our interests.
And of course, there are state
and local elections as well.
There’s also a one-quarter-
cent local sales tax increase
and a proposed amendment to
prevent convicted felons from
serving as sheriff, two issues
that could have immediate
effects in the community we
live in.
There is no way to force any-
one to believe voting is worth
their time — nor should there
be, as voting should be a vol-
untary exercise. But unless
you are an elected official or
bureaucrat, this is probably the
most direct influence on gover-
Other projects that received
grants, such as a student lead-
ership conference at N.C. A&T
and an environmental program
at UNC-Asheville, were well-
deserving of the money.
But another project, UNC-
Greensboro’s the Great T-Shirt
Exchange: Out with the old, in
with the Blue and Gold, was
awarded $1,000. The project
involves trading T-shirts from
other universities for a free
UNC-G T-shirt.
UNC-G’s T-shirt trade is
an innovative idea to increase
school spirit on campus. But
when compared to other vying
programs such as SafeWalk in
terms of improving students’
lives, does it really match up?
While ASG may feel com-
been so absorbed in roaming the
street that they did not notice the
increase in their own safety.
There were 318 officers on
hand to ensure the school and
the area around Franklin Street
stayed safe for everyone.
These officers were able to
improve over last year and
close the street 45 minutes ear-
lier. Few seemed to have had a
terrible night.
The Chapel Hill Police depart-
ment has done a good job keep-
ing Halloween fun while making
it safer for everyone. The use of
more utility task vehicles was
also a smart move this year.
Lt. Kevin Gunter, Chapel
Hill police spokesman, stated
that the town would like to
continue efforts to make this
number even lower next year.

nance that you have.
Government offers much to
complain about, but it’s hard to
do so when, of your own voli-
tion, you forgo buy-in.
And while we are individu-
ally one vote, a whole lot of
individuals are likely to do
their part today to make this a
wave election.
Yet youth have in the past
been notoriously apathetic
about elections. But two years
ago, they rushed Franklin
Street in celebratory triumph
of the election of President
Barack Obama.
If things now were actually
as good as they felt for that
fleeting moment, one might
not feel compelled to care
much. But, as always, there’s
plenty to be concerned about
at all levels of government.
Those who still haven’t voted
should consider that today.
pelled to award as many grants
as it can, it should ask if it is
maximizing their potential.
The grants are a direct way
students benefit from the orga-
nization. The grants are a use-
ful way to redistribute certain
funds back to the campuses that
paid them. They are a beneficial
form of financing for projects
within the UNC system.
ASG is funded by a $1 stu-
dent fee that each student in
the UNC system pays, so it
should choose to support proj-
ects that will benefit students’
lives on campus.
Campus innovation grants
are a great initiative and should
continue to be awarded, but
ASG should prioritize where it
hands out grants carefully.
We believe 35,000 is a good
ceiling. The numbers were not
unbearable and unsafe as they
were in 2007 but there were
enough people to make it an
epic party.
Also, along with the decrease
in numbers came a decrease in
reported police arrests. Only
one citation was issued this
year related to possession of
drugs or alcohol.
Overall, this year’s Halloween
was a success. Fewer people,
just as much fun and awe-
some costumes. It may be that
the safer Halloween was just
because it was on a Sunday.
But either way, the town
seems to be striking a good
balance between managing the
crowds and ensuring a good
time for all.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Homecoming election
more than just popularity
TO THE EDITOR:
In response to “Elections
more important than popularity
contest,” (Nov. 1) we could not
agree with you more on some of
your points. The elections held
today are far more important
than campus elections; stu-
dents should push for an active
role in our democracy, especially
by voting. However, to call what
we passionately care about and
work for a ‘popularity contest
veiled by a weak service com-
ponent,’ we respectfully have to
disagree.
Both of us have already imple-
mented our service projects on
smaller scales in previous years;
the title of Mr. and Miss UNC
allows not for the chance for us
to be “royal” or “monarchy,” but
rather for the opportunity for us
to expand our platforms to the
rest of campus.
We both have serious ties to
whom our projects serve; both
students with mental and physi-
cal disabilities and childhood
cancer patients are near and
dear to our hearts for respective
reasons. We painted A-frames,
shaved heads and held up signs
for them.
It was unfortunate that
Homecoming week and election
time were so close together, and
we apologize for taking away
from the publicity of the elec-
tions. This was not, in any sense,
our objective.
Today, we encourage all stu-
dents and faculty to go vote in
the governmental elections if
you have not already done so.
But also know this- we were not
running for popularity. We ran to
show what we as students of this
University strive for: empower-
ing and serving our community,
with or without a crown.

Exploitation should be
illegal, not immigration
TO THE EDITOR:
I applaud the immigration
advocates who are trying to
curb violence against immi-
grants. That said, I think the
word “illegal” needs to stay in
our vocabulary. Consider the
following:
In 1996, the Internal
Revenue Service began issu-
ing immigrants without visas
9-digit Individual Taxpayer
Identification Numbers, or
ITINs. These numbers look and
act like Social Security numbers,
meaning ITIN holders could be
“legally” employed. They can
also open bank accounts, and
through some banks like Fifth
Third, get tightly controlled
loans. Since 1996, the IRS has
issued over 11 million ITINs,
most of which having gone to
the undocumented.
To keep an ITIN, the holder
must file income tax every year.
Identifiable by starting with a 9,
employers know exactly when an
applicant is using one. Billions in
Social Security revenue every year
are collected that will never be
given back, and abusive employ-
ers get a workforce kept quiet by
fear of deportation. Think of it as

the “tax and deport” policy of the
federal government.
The only problem I have with
the word is that it is misapplied.
There are no illegal immigrants,
but there is an illegal immigra-
tion system set up by govern-
ment and big business. The
immigrants aren’t issuing them-
selves ITINs or buying billboards
in Mexico advertising jobs in
Alabama, like Gold Kist, a poul-
try company, did.
Have you seen the signs that
say “illegal means illegal?” It
doesn’t. Trying to make a living
shouldn’t be illegal — exploiting
those who are should be.

Exposure of football team
an opportunity to change
TO THE EDITOR:
Concrete, cranes and con-
struction workers again obscure
the view inside Kenan Stadium.
The orchestration involved in
such an act is fascinating in its
own right, but my mind turns to
the drama that has unfolded over
the past few months. Ironically,
just as the old building that sat
at the end zone was torn down
this summer, allowing a rare
look inside, we have also gotten
a glimpse into the inner world
of our NCAA football team and
they have been exposed.
Exposure can be terrifying. On
the other hand, exposure can be
a great opportunity for gaining
perspective and examining the
structures that allowed ques-
tionable behavior to occur. This
is really hard work that starts
with accepting that one can no
longer hide and that in the end
things will need to change. The
exposure necessitates that the
status quo will no longer fly.
As sure as steel beams and
concrete, the football team will
erect new walls for protection
from those peering in. In theory,
there is nothing wrong with shel-
tering oneself from the outside.
However, it places the burden
on those on the inside to ensure
standards are being met and, as
we’ve seen, this is an incredible
responsibility with nothing less
than the University’s reputation
in play. Going forward, finding
ways to build transparency into
this organization will not only be
good for the University, but also
will take some of the weight off
the football team that has better
things to worry about… like win-
ning games. Go Heels!

Nov. 9 RSVVP event raises funds for IFC
Restaurants give 10 percent of profits
by Katherine Burton
staff writer
An increase in the number of
restaurants donating a portion of
their profits to an annual fund-
raiser might denote an improved
economic climate.
On Nov. 9, 103 restaurants will
be giving 10 percent of profits
earned to benefit the Inter-Faith
Council for Social Service, an
increase from 95 restaurants last
year and a return to participation
levels before the recession.
The increase in participation
comes as the council’s food pan-
try attempts to meet record-high
demands, with 3,000 families
served in 2010 — and Moran expects
demand for services to rise.
RSVVP, or Restaurants Sharing
Ten Percent, is in its 22nd year.
“I just have to applaud our res-
taurants for wanting to do this,”
said Chris Moran, the council’s
executive director.
Funds raised will benefit the
Community Kitchen and the food
pantry, which provided more than
87,000 meals and nearly 16,000
grocery bags to families in the area

Dwight Bassett, the county’s
economic development officer, said
the economic climate compared to
this time last year shows more con-
sumer demand, which might prove
more supportive of charity efforts.
But higher RSVVP revenues are
not guaranteed, he said.
“Success is all going to depend
on the community and how inter-
ested they are in promoting the
initiative,” he said.
Revenues from last year’s efforts
reached $18,592, the lowest in

save their resources, not trying to

the combination of an economic
turnaround and increased restau-
rant participation to bring in more
than $20,000.

Trying to sell study abroad
Viviana Bonilla Lopez
staff writer
In today’s fierce competition for
jobs, the need for recent college
graduates to stand out means every
experience must be marketed as a
strength.
Some administrators want stu-
dents to better justify study abroad
programs as skill set contributors
instead of showing it just as a
semester abroad.
“It should be considered some-
thing that makes you more quali-
fied for the position,” said Cheryl
Matherly, assistant provost for
global education at the University
of Tulsa.
“It’s a concern because so long
as employers don’t understand the
full experience, it is something that
isn’t valued,” she said.
One recruiter said study abroad
is not a selling point, but could
help students based on how it’s
presented.
“It’s not something that we
look for specifically,” said Kaitlin
Gastrock, Teach For America
spokeswoman.
But students seem confident it
will give them an advantage.
“It’s a marketable thing to study
abroad because you can say that
you experienced different cultures,”
Chapel Hill Tire Car Care Center
said UNC senior Elizabeth Golden,
who studied abroad in Sevilla,
Spain.
But a concern is students are not
adequately advertising their expe-
riences, Matherly said.
“A lot of them don’t think about
the importance of it on their resume,”
said Jeff Sackaroff, associate director
of University Career Services.
For example, some students
don’t elaborate on the importance
of their experience.
“I just stated that I had spent
seven weeks in a study abroad
immersion program,” Golden said.
“That’s pretty much all I put.”
Some believe just stating the study
abroad experience isn’t enough.
“I think the most important
thing a student can do is to be
able to speak about it in terms of
transferable skills,” Matherly said.
“How is it that that experience can
be useful for the company?”
This approach seems to be key.
“It certainly could be an asset,”
Gastrock said. “It depends on what
they experienced.”
Gastrock recommends students
demonstrate they overcame chal-
lenges.
“Study abroad is a great way
to answer the question — ‘tell me
about the time you took a risk’ — or

Polls say Republicans will
win most governor races
LOS ANGELES (MCT) —
With redistricting on every poli-
tician’s mind, voters will choose
some three dozen governors on
Tuesday, and Republicans are
expected to win the majority of
those races, according to the lat-
est polls.
Democrats have a slight edge
over Republicans going into the
midterm elections, but GOP
officials have said they expect
to pick up at least six governors’
chairs to bring their total to
more than 30. The Republican
count could go higher since the
latest polls have several races
too close to call, including in the
brief takeover underscored the
growing vulnerability of isolated
districts in a province where the
insurgency has been growing
stronger.
Ghazni’s geographic position
is strategic; the main highway
between the capital, Kabul, and
the South’s main city of Kandahar
runs through it. NATO supply
convoys come under frequent
attack when they pass through
the province.
“The security situation is very
bad in Ghazni — in many parts of
the province, the government has
no control,” said Qayum Sajadi, a
member of parliament from the
province. “The Taliban has the
upper hand.”
Most of Ghazni was deemed
too dangerous to hold voting in
September’s parliamentary elec-
tions.
The Taliban claimed responsi-
bility for the attack in Khogyani,
and spokesman Zabiullah
Mujahid boasted that the insur-
gents could carry out such strikes
at will. Sajadi likened the security
situation in Ghazni to that in the
southern province of Helmand.

Immigration law
review in Arizona
SAN FRANCISCO (MCT)
— A federal appeals court that
is reviewing Arizona’s tough
new immigration law appeared
inclined Monday to permit
Arizona to require police to inves-
tigate the immigration status of
people they have legally stopped
but also seemed ready to reject
more punitive provisions giving
the state enforcement powers.
A three-judge panel of the 9th
Circuit Court of Appeals, meeting
in San Francisco, appeared likely
to rule that Arizona may require
police in certain situations to
investigate a person’s immigra-
tion status if there is reasonable
cause to suspect that person has
committed a crime. But the panel
also seemed to agree with a lower
court ruling that other provisions
of Arizona’s law were “pre-empt-
ed” by the federal government’s
sole authority to enforce immi-
gration laws.
The court appeared likely to
reject provisions that would make
it a state crime for a person to not
carry immigration papers.

INSTANT RUNOFF VOTING
In this year’s elections, the state is introducing a section of instant runoff voting,
which is meant to eliminate the need for a second runoff election.
While selecting a judge for the N.C. Court of Appeals, voters will select their
first, second and third choices from the candidates listed below.
If no candidate receives more than 50 percent of the first-place votes, the
second- and third-choice votes are counted for each of the top two candidates in
the final vote tally.
An instant runoff is being used because turnout for standard runoff elections
has historically been very low.
