GOP PREPARES TO JUGGLE
Republicans will be juggling issues such as tuition, the budget deficit, financial aid, privatization of alcohol sales and abortion.
State legislature reconvenes today
by elise young
senior writer
The N.C. General Assembly recon-
venes today with a new Republican lead-
ership ready to tackle a $3.7 billion bud-
get shortfall and a number of contentious
issues that could have a direct impact on
students.
This will be the first Republican-
controlled state legislature since 1898,
which could mean a constant tug-of-war
between the state’s Democratic Gov. Bev
Perdue and the GOP leadership.
Among the issues the N.C. General Assembly will address:
Budget The state is facing a $3.7 billion
budget shortfall, which could mean an up
to 15 percent budget reduction for the UNC
system. University leaders plan to lay off
employees and scale back academic pro-
grams to combat the budget reduction.
Tuition The N.C. General Assembly will
approve universities’ tuition increase
requests this session. The legislature could
approve a supplementary tuition increase
during the summer, like last summer’s
optional $750 increase.
Crisp: Greek reform Dentistry dean named
still in early stages Weintraub to network, lead research as dean
By Andy Thomason
Assistant University Editor
Winston Crisp won’t provide many
details for his plan to reform the Greek
system today.
He doesn’t have them.
Crisp, the vice chancellor for student
affairs, said Tuesday that he will pres-
ent a vague outline of his plan to the
University affairs committee of the Board
of Trustees.
But it will appear to trustees more as a
will face rather than a step-by-step strategy.
One commitment Crisp does feel com-
fortable making, he said, is that the new
policy will not be applied to all four Greek
councils in the same manner.
“One of the things we’ve learned is that
there are places where it doesn’t make
sense to have a one-size-fits-all way of
doing things when you have real, concrete
differences,” he said.
dations to Crisp in November that, among
other things, mandates a spring recruitment
period for all fraternities and sororities.
www.dailytarheel.com
Incoming Speaker of the N.C.
House of Representatives Thom Tillis,
R-Mecklenburg, will be championing
Republicans’ goals to minimize govern-
ment involvement and cut spending.
“My goal as a leader for as long as I
would be speaker is to remind everybody
that there’s a lot of things that govern-
ment could do,” Tillis said.
“The real question is whether govern-
ment should do it.”
To make up for the state’s deficit, leg-
islators plan to cut spending statewide.
Financial Aid Legislators will vote on a
plan to consolidate some sources of grants.
They might also tackle the state’s deplet-
ing source of financial aid grants — the
escheats fund, which is expected to be
unusable in the next two years.
Abortion Incoming Speaker Thom Tillis
and other Republicans announced plans
to introduce “right to know” legislation to
inform women of alternatives to abortion
and the potential risks involved with the
procedure.
The recommendations suggest the
development of academic and behavioral
standards that fraternities and sororities
must meet in order to continue to offer a
fall recruitment period and to maintain
University recognition.
Crisp said he will inform the committee
of three different components that make
up his reform effort.
First, he will lead a team — made up of
administrators, students and alumni — to
examine the policy that now governs the
academics and behavior of Greek organi-
zations.
The team will work to determine how it
will reconcile the recommendations of the
board and the current policy.
Second, the team will work to restruc-
ture the office of fraternity and sorority life,
an office that will be essentially without a
staff within a month, Crisp said.
Jenny Levering, former assistant dean
of students for fraternity and sorority life,
left the University for a position at Miami
University in November.

UNC system to cut
duplicated programs
by tarini parti
state & national editor
The financial plight of the UNC system will not
be revealed for another few months, but administra-
tors are preparing for a detailed review that will help
them make strategic cuts when the time comes.
Jim Woodward, former chancellor of UNC-
Charlotte and N.C. State University, will be leading
a review of the 2,000 degree programs offered sys-
temwide to determine which ones
universities can do without.
No specific charge or timeline
for the review has been determined
yet, Woodward said, but he will
begin meeting with UNC-system
President Thomas Ross and Board
of Governors Chairwoman Hannah
Gage in February and officially
start on the project after March 1. Jim Woodward

programs across the system and

eliminated. cut potential.
Certain programs that are
offered at several campuses could be cut and their
resources consolidated at a single institution.
“I think with the financial difficulties, pretty much
everything has to be put on the table right now,”
Woodward said.
“There is duplication, but is it appropriate to serve
the people of North Carolina?”
The N.C. General Assembly will begin to tackle
the state’s $3.7 billion budget shortfall today. The
system is planning to use the results of the review
to cope with budget cuts of up to 15 percent or $405
million that will likely come as legislators try to bal-
ance the budget.
The University system has already lost $620 mil-
lion in state funding in the last four years. After
making deep cuts on the administrative side, sys-
tem leaders are now being forced to look to the
academic side.
Woodward said cutting complete programs and
reorganizing the system could be a challenge because
universities might be reluctant.
“There is an argument made for every single
program, now are those arguments sufficient?” he

said.
The way individual campuses look at their pro-
grams is similar to the old saying “Beauty is in the
eye of the beholder.” The campuses might think their
programs are important, but they might not be nec-
essary for the state, Woodward said.

Rick Ingram has emerged as the
favorite in the race for student
body president.
Candidates were required to
turn in their petitions to the Board
of Elections with 1,250 unique sig-
natures Tuesday at 5 p.m.
Ingram collected 2,945 signa-
tures, 1,368 more than any other
candidate.
Rick said he thinks his lead rep-
resents an advantage.
“I think anytime that you can
engage that many students, it’s a
great thing,” Ingram said. “It’s nice
to know my freezing hands were
worth something.”
Candidate Ian Lee said he did
not believe Ingram’s count repre-
sented a significant advantage.
“I don’t think there is a direct
correlation between signatures and
support,” Lee said.
Last year, Hogan Medlin, the
current student body president, col-
lected the most signatures — 1,891
— followed by Shruti Shah and
Monique Hardin. Their respective
signature counts correlated with
third, respectively.
Mary Cooper collected 1,577
signatures, Lee collected 1,387
signatures and Brooklyn Stephens
collected 1,240 signatures, 10 short
of the required number.
Stephens will have until Friday
at 5 p.m. to submit at least 10 valid
signatures to the board in order to
be certified.
Dylan Gilroy, the final candi-
date, did not submit any signa-
tures to the board. Gilroy has said
that he is not running a serious

Cooper said she doesn’t think
Ingram’s lead necessarily makes
him the favorite.
“It’s definitely an impressive and
unprecedented amount, but I’m
looking forward to the discussion
of more issues,” she said.
Lee said his ability to collect sig-
natures online helped him attract
more support.
“It definitely allowed us to reach
students we would not otherwise
be able to,” he said. “We had well
over 200 online signatures, but it
certainly did not replace our clip-
board efforts.”

UNC
Ballet teacher inspires
and instructs students
by Florence Bryan
staff writer
Laurie Yeames gracefully paces around
the Franklin Street ballet studio, giving
corrections to her college students who are
warming up at the barre.
It’s early, 8:30 a.m. Tuesday at the Ballet
School of Chapel Hill. The sun has just
started to stream through the studio win-
dows.
A few yawns escape the dancers clad in
leotards and sweats, but they attentively
listen to Yeames’ reminders to articulate
their feet and center their torsos. When a
dancer makes an improvement, she smiles
and offers animated praise.
Far from New York City, where she spent
much of her life training and dancing,
Yeames, 49, said she didn’t know what to
expect when she started teaching intermedi-
ate and advanced ballet to UNC students.
But now it’s something she said she looks
forward to every day.
“What I love about UNC is I’m dealing
with people that are there because they
want to be there,” she said.
Yeames understands her students’ pas-
sion — she began dancing at the Maryland
Youth Ballet after a doctor recommended it
because she had flat feet.
At 13, she auditioned for American Ballet
Theatre and was given a full scholarship to
train at the school. Watching the company
members through the studio windows was
overwhelming but inspiring, she said.
Yeames left the theatre to dance with the
Princess Grace Academy of Classical Dance in
Monaco before finishing her training in New
York at the School of American Ballet. She
later danced in Chicago and Los Angeles.
During her travels, she noticed a dichot-
omy in the ballet world.
“You’re basically not paid a lot, and you’re
sort of struggling to meet your day-to-day
expenses,” she said. “But you’re doing what
you actually love, and you actually travel in
these very elite circles because the patrons
of the ballet happen to be very wealthy.”
In her early 20s, Yeames began teaching
full time on Long Island.
As a ballet teacher at a Broadway-focused
studio, Yeames taught many students aspir-
ing to be in the entertainment business,
including a 9-year-old Natalie Portman.
Laurie Yeames teaches a ballet class at the Ballet School of Chapel Hill on Tuesday. Yeames
teaches both intermediate and advanced ballet at UNC and once taught Natalie Portman.
“She had the cutest little face and this tiny
little body,” she said.
Yeames taught Portman for a year before
moving to Alaska. Portman, who was nomi-
nated Tuesday for a Best Actress Oscar for
the ballet film “Black Swan,” continued to
dance at the New York studio and still stays
in touch with the studio’s director.
“Her love of dance started from there,
and she’s always maintained that connection
with them and that studio,” Yeames said.
Although Yeames sometimes wishes she
had performed longer, she said she is happy
in Chapel Hill, where she has lived with her
husband and two children for six years. At
the ballet school, Yeames teaches middle
school to college-age students.
Senior Becca Rand, who has taken two
years of the advanced class, said she likes
that Yeames gets to know each student.
dth/katie sweeney
With Yeames’ guidance, Rand and two
other seniors co-founded Carolina Dance
Initiative, which offers student-led dance
classes on campus.
Co-founder Tiffany Dysart, who plans to
continue dancing after college, said she has
appreciated Yeames’ encouragement.
“She’s pushed me and expected more of me,
which is good because sometimes you don’t
expect the most out of yourself,” she said.
Yeames said she takes the responsibility
of teaching dance very seriously.
“I know how I felt about my teachers and
the influence they had on me,” she said. “It’s
really deep for me. You get a lot of love back.”
“It sounds weird, but you feel it. It’s very
palpable how much love comes back.”

she said.
“But the goal of this was to start
a conversation, not to live and die
by the verbiage in the bill.”
She said she wanted to reduce
the body to 30 members because
it would make it easier to fill the
positions with passionate repre-
sentatives.
This theme was one of the only
points members of the committee
agreed on.
Zach De La Rosa, chairman of
the committee, said the bill set an
honorable goal but was not the
right bill to fix congress.
“The idea is to get rid of use-
less committees,” he said. “There’s
a lot in the Code that needs to be
removed, but the structure of this
bill really got me.”
Adam Horowitz, a representa-
tive from the finance committee
who attended the meeting, said
this bill brought important issues
to the forefront.
“So many people don’t show up
to Congress. I would rather have 30
people show up that are passionate
than 27 out of 42 at a Congress ses-
sion, on a good day,” he said.
The debate will continue as
representatives contemplate the
idea of splitting up Congress and
removing parts of the Student
Code that have been in tact for
years.
“I just don’t like the idea of
splitting up Congress,” De La
Rosa said, “But I do like central-
ized groups and more focused
committees.”
Miller said her background is
in finance, not rules and judiciary,
and that influenced how she wrote
the bill and the response that it
received as a result.
“I don’t like to lose, but I left
some big chunks out of the bill,
and the ideas I presented were not
the ones we needed, so we’ll work
towards those,” she said.
But most committee members
said Student Congress does need
to reform during the debate ses-
sion.
“The best way to effect change
is with people who care a lot about
issues being discussed,” Miller
said.
“ T his wasn’ t me versus
Congress.”

CUAB’s Big Boi concert sees fast ticket sales

-From staff and wire reports
Only one ticket left by Tuesday night
by Nick Andersen
Arts Editor
As of 6 p.m. Tuesday night,
tonight’s concert in Memorial Hall,
featuring hip-hop artist Big Boi.
And Temi Duro-Emanuel, chair-
woman of the performing arts
committee of the Carolina Union
Activities Board, was pretty confi-
dent that that one ticket would be
“Something about this show
really turned out,” said Duro-
Emanuel, whose committee helped
really proud of ourselves.”
Big Boi, an immensely popu-
lar hip-hop artist who forms one
half of the beloved duo Outkast,
inspired a considerable student
response on campus.
“He’s one of those artists who
you may not know right away, but
Outkast has a lot of fans, and his
solo album last year was really well
received,” said CUAB president
Tyler Mills.
Following normal CUAB proce-
dure, tickets were released in two
segments — for UNC students and
for the general public — with the $10
student seats first on sale Jan. 12.
On that first day of sales, more
than 900 of the total 1,434 available
seats in Memorial Hall were sold,
said Lauren Sacks, the Union’s assis-
tant director of student learning.
“Obviously, $10 is a pretty good
value,” Mills said.
CUAB members said they see
the concert as part of their larger
aim to appeal to a wide cross sec-
tion of students.
“My mission with CUAB is to
find a middle ground between
‘accessible’ and ‘cool,’” Mills said.
Big Boi fits that profile, Mills
said.
CUAB is primarily funded by
student fees.
“This is definitely a genre that
we haven’t touched on this year,”
said CUAB music committee chair-
woman Kinsey Sullivan, whose
committee co-sponsored tonight’s
concert.
“We try to appeal to a lot of dif-
ferent audiences.”
Sullivan called the Big Boi con-
cert Duro-Emanuel’s brain child.
“This is something Temi has
been looking into for a long time,”
Sullivan said. “Out of the blue, she
sent an e-mail to his agent; he was
available and she went for it.”
Duro-Emanuel said she is a huge
fan of Big Boi.
“I’ve been a fan of Outkast since
I was young,” she said. “And Big
Boi’s last album was on heavy rota-
tion on my iPod.”
The price tag for the concert —
which is not yet available due to
ongoing contractual and planning
processes — also appealed to the
committee.
“The price was a lot less than our
other big concerts,” Sullivan said.
Last October’s Homecoming
concert, which featured indie-rock
headliners Passion Pit, cost more
than $60,000.
All 4,500 available seats in
Carmichael Arena were sold out
for the Oct. 29 concert.
And though Memorial Hall
doesn’t fit quite as many people as
Carmichael Arena, CUAB members
are still confident that tonight’s
show will be a success.
“If everyone leaves the show and
has had a great time together, I’ll
be pleased,” Duro-Emanuel said.
“But that’s all really what CUAB is
about, anyway.”

Speech addresses Potter series stereotypes

Eastern European characters a focus
by aaron moore
staff writer
When the first members of
“Generation Hex,” those born
between 1980 and 2003, picked
up copies of “Harry Potter and the
Sorcerer’s Stone” 14 years ago, a
generation was hooked.
But now, on the eve of the
final Harry Potter movie, some
perceptions of racism within the
books have surfaced within the
University’s academic ranks.
“‘Readers do not notice the rac-
ism that lurks beneath the surface of
these stories,”’ read history professor
Jacqueline Olich, who was quoting
an article she is using in her own
research of Harry Potter books.
Olich, who is also associate
director of the Center for Slavic,
Eurasian and East European
Studies, said the Harry Potter
series is rife with Stalinist imag-
ery, negative stereotypes of east-
SMLC Scrabble Ads-DTH v1_Layout 1 1/10/11 10:24 AM Page 3
ern Europeans and depictions of
Romania and Albania as dark,
mysterious and evil.
Although author J.K. Rowling
has called her books a “prolonged
argument for tolerance,” Olich said
the author portrays several young
eastern European students in her
fourth novel as “hyper-masculine”
intimidating boys with poor den-
tal hygiene and a tendency to use
“dark” magic.
“Rowling internalizes stereo-
types of eastern Europe as back-
ward, dangerous and materially
deficient, and she transmits these
stereotypes to a new generation of
readers,” Olich said.
Olich said Rowling also character-
izes eastern Europeans as less stylish
and less consumer-oriented.
“They’re there for comic fod-
der,” Olich said. “They’re there to
be laughed at.”
Even the eastern European head-
master, Igor Karkaroff, seems to rep-
resent adaptations of Russian dicta-
tor Ivan the Terrible, Olich said.
“The scary thing is, people read
this for their children,” said Zsolt
Nagy, a Hungarian graduate stu-
dent of history who said he has read
the books and watched the films.
“I don’t know if it bothered me,”
Nagy said. “I don’t know if it still
bothers me. I do like Harry Potter.”
Olich said the film directors of
the fourth Harry Potter movie, “The
Goblet of Fire,” included images that
equated Bulgarian Viktor Krum
with dictator Joseph Stalin. They
also all wear red, she noticed.
“I saw that and I said, ‘You’ve got
to be kidding,’” Olich said.
But not all Harry Potter critics
agree that Rowling’s descriptions
are intended as racist.
“It seemed almost more of a
descriptive thing,” said econom-
ics professor Patrick Conway, who
attended the seminar.
“Rowling isn’t making value
judgments against a culture but
“They’re there
for comic fodder.
They’re there to be
laughed at.”
jacqueline olich, history
professor, on eastern european
characters in the harry potter series
providing a travel log.”
Sophomore Travis Keene said he
could see the connections.
“But I don’t think Harry Potter
is intentionally racist or ethnocen-
tric,” he said.
Despite some negative stereo-
types in Harry Potter, Olich said
there are still beneficial messages
of tolerance and anti-racism.
“In some ways, it holds up a mir-
ror to our society and how many
contradictions there are,” she said.
Olich added that she still reads
the books to her 4-year-old and
10-year-old sons.

Merit-based aid Miami used to playing tight games
funding at risk from 8-day break
Tar Heels return
by Keren Goldshlager
staff writer
At a meeting Tuesday, the com-
mittee on scholarships, awards
and student aid discussed a poten-
tial repeal by the N.C. General
Assembly that could make merit
scholarship funds more scarce.
Eyeing a potential repeal of a
2004 law that allows out-of-state
students receiving full scholar-
ships to be given in-state status
for tuition purposes, committee
members expressed concern for the
future of the Morehead-Cain and
Robertson scholarships.
Members said fewer out-of-
state students would benefit
from those scholarships, as offer-
ing them to non-residents would
become considerably more expen-
sive — and take a higher toll on
the scholarships’ respective annu-
al budgets.
“It would kill our ability to
recruit high-achieving out-of-state
students,” said Dan Thornton, asso-
ciate director of scholarships and
student aid.
Committee members said
the problem began when the
University’s endowment, a signifi-
cant private resource for scholar-
ship funds, fell 19.6 percent in
2009.
“Those hits to endowment affect
our scholarship payouts,” Thornton
said.
“There’s a lot of confusion about
merit scholarships,” he added.
“Some people believe the money
comes from special scholarship
trees.”
Faced with both definite eco-
nomic and possible legislative chal-
lenges, the committee is consider-
ing some major changes.
“There’s potential for really re-
thinking some of what we do here,”

State of the union in the union
J
unior Anthony Dent, College Republicans chairman, prepares for President Barack
Obama to deliver the annual State of the Union on Tuesday evening. The College
Republicans, who watched the address in the Student Union, agreed that the econ-
omy is improving, but they were critical of Obama’s education plans. Young Democrats
also hosted a viewing party. See more student reaction in a video at dailytarheel.com.

ing is scaled back in a manageable
way for both the state and its ben-
eficiaries, Tillis said.
“Our game plan is a fairly
straightforward one,” he said. “This
isn’t about the legislature fighting
with the leadership in the govern-
ment agencies.”
Tillis has received support from
both Republicans and Democrats
for his decision making and lead-
ership.
“I was always impressed with his
ability to analyze situations and his
efforts to compromise,” said Rep.
Ray Rapp, D-Haywood. “Clearly
he is a very capable leader.”
Before he began serving full-
time as a state representative in
2009, Tillis was a management
consulting executive at IBM and
PricewaterhouseCoopers.

ternity and sorority life — will leave daunting to go through all the
the University within a month, things you have to do to meet all
Crisp said.
“Effectively, we’re going to have
the opportunity to build the office
from scratch,” he said.
Crisp added that he thinks it’s
likely the disciplinary component
of the office will be removed alto-
gether and transferred to the office
of the dean of students.
The team’s third task will be to
examine the separate Greek coun-
cils and determine how to apply
the new plan to each organization,
he said.
This will include how to apply
the new recruitment standards,
as well as the system for academic
performance and behavioral stan-
dards.
Alston Gardner, chairman of the
University affairs committee, said
he won’t be expecting many details
from Crisp.
“I don’t expect that he has made
a whole lot of progress except
deciding how he wants to proceed,”
he said.
Gardner said he was willing to
give Crisp more breathing room
since the office of fraternity and
sorority life is understaffed.
“Basically we have no depart-
ment right now,” he said.
“Who’s going to implement (the
plan)?” he added. “Somebody’s got
to do all the work. It ain’t going to
be Winston.”
Crisp said another factor in the
plan’s lack of detail was the inabil-
ity to bring students into the dis-
cussion in December.
“There’s only so much you can
do while the students are other-
wise occupied with exams and then
away,” he said.
Jonathan Sauls, interim asso-
ciate dean of students, hosted a
meeting for Greek leaders Tuesday
night in which members discussed
the issues surrounding the plan’s
formation and implementation.

The ‘G’
does not
stand for
genetic
A
h, the female G-spot. The
stuff of sexual legend.
Does it exist? Does it not
exist? Do you just need better
directions to find it, or a “G”PS?
Well, a 2010 study in the
Journal of Sexual Medicine has
thrown in and says that while it
may be in some people’s jeans, it’s
actually not in their genes.
The G-spot has been described
as a small, sensitive structure
along the front interior wall of
the vagina, which can produce or
intensify orgasms when stimu-
lated. The “G” comes from Ernst
Gräfenberg, the physician who
first wrote about the spot in 1950.
Some books and magazines
have publicized a wide accep-
tance of the existence of the
G-spot in women, but the science
has not fallen one way or the
other quite yet.
Previous studies have linked the
presence of a G-spot to anatomical
or physiological features. These
include the space between the ure-
thra and vagina, the Skene glands
(also known as the “female pros-
tate”), or the clitoris. However, the
debate still goes on due to small
sample sizes or high variability.
In this study, Andrea Burri
and her colleagues at King’s
College asked more than 1,800
women if they have a G-spot,
and 56 percent of the women
reported that they do. This figure
is comparable to the 66 percent
reported in an American survey
from 1990.
The interesting feature of Burri’s
sample was that they included
357 pairs of identical twins and
356 pairs of fraternal twins. Since
twins share genetic information,
they were able to further explore
whether or not genes were corre-
lated with a G-spot.
Burri’s conclusion? The G-spot
is not a heritable, genetic trait.
This finding seems to go
against the anatomical explana-
tion: If the G-spot were structur-
al, then it stands to reason that it
would be genetic to some degree.
Instead, Burri found some
associations between reporting
a G-spot and factors which are
more psychosocial. For example,
some of the women reporting
a G-spot also scored higher in
“openness to new experience,”
fantasized more, and were more
satisfied with their relationships.
In addition, these women
were more likely to achieve
orgasm during intercourse, and
have multiple, more satisfying
orgasms. Yet more of them still
preferred clitoral orgasms over
vaginal ones.
These results are not perfect.
If having a G-spot facilitates a
vaginal orgasm, then the 56 per-
cent in this study does not match
up with the reported 15-30 per-
cent of women who are able to
have vaginal orgasms. Also, there
could be bias in self-reporting
because of the way the ques-
tionnaire was worded, and the
authors did not confirm presence
of a G-spot by physical exam.
Still, we can take away that not
all women report having a G-spot,
so don’t think you’re weird if you
don’t think you have one.
While the G-spot may be associ-
ated with other aspects of orgasmic
function, the causation is not clear.
Maybe having a G-spot gives you
better orgasms, or maybe better
orgasms make it more likely that
you’ll perceive having one.
Either way, the preference for
clitoral orgasms suggests that a
G-spot might not grant you a one-
way trip to vaginal orgasmic bliss.
At least, you probably won’t
find directions on Google Maps.
