RESULTS DELAYED
supreme court responds to santoro Union decision
Deanna Santoro, the former speaker of Student Congress, filed a complaint concerning the Board of Elections that caused the election results to be withheld.
By Jordan H. Walker
Staff Writer
The student body president election ground to a
halt Tuesday when the Student Supreme Court issued
an injunction that prevented the release and certifi-
cation of the election’s results.
“I’m pretty upset,” said Ian Lee, whose candidacy
is now seemingly in jeopardy, having been at the crux
of the suit that led to the injunction.
“It’s just another wrench in what has already been
a dirty, complicated campaign season,” he added.
The injunction to the Board of Elections to delay
the release of results comes in response to a com-
plaint filed by Deanna Santoro, the former speaker
of Student Congress who resigned her position
Monday. The complaint stated that the board had
misinterpreted the Student Code, allowing Lee to
run for student body president while holding the
office of student body secretary.
In the suit, Santoro asked the court to issue an
injunction forcing the board to neither release nor cer-

tify results for the student body president election.
The court issued the injunction Tuesday afternoon.
Andrew Phillips, chairman of the board, filed a
motion to dismiss the injunction, citing sections of
the Code that would disqualify Santoro’s lawsuit. In
the motion, Phillips said Santoro’s complaints are
illegitimate because she is neither a candidate nor a
member of the Board of Elections.
He added that Santoro’s suit was filed after the
96-hour window allowed to challenge a decision that
caused injury. The board ruled Dec. 13 that Lee’s can-
didacy was not a violation of the Code.
The court did not meet to consider the motion
Tuesday night. Jessica Womack, chief justice of the
Student Supreme Court, said the soonest the body
would be able to meet for discussion would likely be
Thursday.
Santoro said the court’s decision to enjoin was
dth/erin hull
vindicating.
“I’m not going to say I’m happy about the injunc-
tion, but I do feel it was a necessary step in the case,”
Santoro said.
“And the fact the injunction was issued shows the
merits of the case.”
Lee said the case has no legal merits.
“First of all, she doesn’t have the standing to file,”
he said, citing a section of the Code that states a
party has to be “directly and adversely affected by a
regulation, ruling or determination of the elections
board.”
Womack said the court would move as fast as it
could to consider the case.
“We’re certainly not going to sit on our hands and
dilly dally, but we have to wait until all the informa-
tion is submitted so we can proceed,” she said.
In the decision to enjoin to delay release of the
results, Womack wrote that the answer in the case must

Despite a full day of voting, the Board of
Elections was prohibited from announcing the
unofficial results of the UCommons referendum
Tuesday night.
The injunction to delay the release of the
results was issued by the Student Supreme Court
at the request of four students.
The students complained that Student Union
officials violated multiple election laws under the
Student Code while petitioning for the referen-
dum that, if passed, would raise student fees by
$8 per semester for 30 years to fund a renovation
to the Union’s bottom floor.
The students filing the complaint said Student
Body President Hogan Medlin and Andrew
Phillips, the board’s chairman, failed in their
duties to address alleged campaign violations.
“My main purpose for the injunction was to
make sure the results don’t bias anything that hap-
pened,” said Congress member Adam Horowitz,
one of the four plaintiffs in the complaint to delay
results.
“I think it’s important that we show breaking
the rules can’t be allowed here.”
Horowitz said his main reason for the complaint
was that the placement of many advertisements for
UCommons were in violation of the Code.
Despite complaints from students, Union offi-
cials said their actions did not constitute a breach
of the Code.
“It’s based on your interpretation of Title VI of
the Student Code,” said Tyler Mills, president of
the Carolina Union Activities Board. “The Union
was acting in its best interest. I don’t think that
was a violation of campaign policy.”
Mills said many of the campaign regulations
in the Code apply to student body president elec-

Law school receives gift to

The Clearing House Association
has given the Center for Banking
and Finance at UNC School of
Law a $150,000 gift to support
the center and create a New York
City-based lecture series.
The series will feature nationally
prominent banking and finance
professionals.
The inaugural lecture, which
will focus on preemption, will
be given by attorney H. Rodgin
Cohen, senior chairman and part-
ner at Sullivan & Cromwell LLP
on Thursday in New York City.
UNC alumni, The Clearing

Cohen, who has served as advi-

institutions and trade associations.
He was chairman of Sullivan &

Research finds immigration
causes native out-migration
UNC sociology profes-
sor Kyle Crowder co-authored
“Neighborhood Immigration and
Native Out-Migration”, a study
exploring the tendency of native
whites to leave areas with influxes
of immigrants.
Matthew Hall of the University
of Illinois-Chicago and Stewart
E. Tolnay of the University of
Washington also worked on
the study, which appears in the
February issue of the American
Sociological Review.
The authors find that white resi-
dents seem to out-migrate in reac-
tion to the changing racial compo-
sition of a neighborhood.
Meanwhile, decreasing hom-
eownership rates and increasing
housing costs seem to cause black
residents to leave immigration-
heavy neighborhoods.
But the study also found that large
numbers of immigrants in areas sur-
rounding a neighborhood make it
less likely that native residents of that
neighborhood will leave, possibly
because it makes those areas unat-
tractive for relocation. The authors
used data from the Panel Study of
Income Dynamics, a longitudinal
survey of U.S. residents.

mercury
output
State working to
decrease levels
by Estes Gould
staff writer
Mercury emissions in North
Carolina are among the highest in
the nation, according to a report.
And the state’s 25 coal-fired power
plants are to blame.
But North Carolina is reducing
its mercury output, and officials
say the report is misleading.
Coal-fired power plants emitted
4,702 pounds of mercury in 2009,
according to the report released by
Environment North Carolina.
One Progress Energy-owned
plant emitted 1,079 pounds alone,
making it one of the nation’s 25
highest-polluting power plants.
The information in the report
came from the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, which requires
companies to update the data
every year. But the numbers do
not show the complete picture,
said Tom Mather, spokesman for
the air quality division of the N.C.
Department for Environment and
Natural Resources.
Much of the mercury reported
never enters the atmosphere or
water system because power plants
are increasingly using technology
to remove it, he said.
The bigger plants owned by
companies like Duke Energy and
Progress Energy use scrubbers,
devices that remove pollutants
and store them in coal ash ponds
or landfills.
Though they are designed to
remove other pollutants, scrubbers
reduce mercury pollution by 80 to
90 percent, said Scott Sutton, a
spokesman for Progress Energy.
Companies began installing
scrubbers after the state passed
the Clean Smokestacks Act in
2002, requiring power plants to
have pollution controls by 2018.
Both Duke and Progress will retire
their older plants without scrub-
bers before then.
“What they are doing right now,
especially in the bigger companies,
is pretty state-of-the-art,” Mather
said.
The law has been a definitive
success, he said.
“What we’ve seen in North
Carolina is that the mercury pol-

Marion Jones shares life lessons with athletes
Lauren Ratcliffe
Staff writer
When former women’s basketball player
Tonya Cooper Williams introduced Marion
Jones to student athletes Tuesday, she didn’t
mention any of her accomplishments on the
court or track.
Instead, she introduced Jones as the kid
who couldn’t help but dance when a Snoop
Doggy Dogg song was played during her col-
lege years.
Jones ran track and field and played bas-
ketball at UNC before becoming an Olympic
champion, only to fall from grace after
admitting steroid use.
The athletic department brought Jones to
campus as a part of a life skills seminar held
each semester for student athletes.
John Blanchard, senior associate director
of athletics, said the University selected her
because she could offer insight into making
good choices and accepting responsibility.
Jones said she jumped at the opportunity
to speak to the “family,” who are in the same
position she was in about 15 years ago.
“Anytime you get to help your family make
better choices, you do it,” she said.
Jones won a national championship
her freshman year and brought home five
Olympic medals in the 2000 games, but
was stripped of those medals in 2008 after
admitting steroid use.
“Within 10 months of graduating from
the University of North Carolina I was
ranked as the fastest female athlete in the
world,” Jones said. Her success grew, earning
her money and fame.
“But I lost it all, and ironically almost 10
years after graduating from UNC I went
from being the media darling of the world
… to becoming a convicted felon.”
She said her time in prison deepened her
understanding of three life lessons young
people are often told: develop good relation-
ships, seek advice before making important
decisions and stand up for what is right.
“When you make decisions, it’s on you,”
Jones said. “You are responsible for them.”
Jones was placed in solitary confinement
for 40 days during her six month sentence.
She said imprisonment gave her time to
examine the decisions she had made.
“Yeah, that’ll make you confront a lot of
things about yourself,” she said.
Jones reminded students that their posi-
tion as athletes puts a brighter spotlight on
them.
“People are going to judge you harder
because you came here and they expect great
things from you,” she said.
Jones said that she understands the daily
pressures athletes face, putting her in a
unique position to give advice.
“I am not a teacher or a parent who is

“I have been through it.”
Jones also described her years at UNC as
some of the best and most challenging of
her life.
She talked about her battles with injury
and encouraged the athletes to work through
setbacks and learn to define themselves by
more than the sports they love.
“I made the mistake like so many of us
athletes make. I let my life become defined
more by the sport than who I really was on
the inside.”

cury air pollution from coal-fired
plants totaled 1912.6 pounds,
Mather said.
When the act is fully implement-
ed in 2018, the state predicts several
air pollutants, including mercury,
will be reduced by 88 percent.
“Our predictions are right
on target, and, if anything, the
reduction has been more than we
expected,” he said.
But the EPA could make a new
rule in March requiring even high-
er standards, modeled after the
top-performing plants in the coun-
try, said Locky Stewart, federal
field organizer with Environment
North Carolina. Other plants
would have to adopt the more
advanced technology.
“The reason scrubbers aren’t
enough is that mercury is such a
potent toxin that we don’t want to
take any risks,” he said.
Mercury stored in coal ash ponds
often leaks into the water system,
causing mercury poisoning for fish
and eventually humans, he said.
Erin Culbert, spokeswoman for
Duke Energy, said water pollution
is a viable concern.
Most of Duke Energy’s coal ash
ponds do not have a protective lin-
ing to prevent that from happen-
ing. They were built in the 1920’s
when that was not required. But

The last leaf collection date in
Chapel Hill is Monday, Feb. 21.
Loose leaves raked to the curb
will be picked up only if they are
free of debris and sticks.
Residents who miss the final
collection can put extra leaves in a
yard waste container, garbage can,
or cardboard box.
Thirty-gallon brown paper yard
waste bags weighing no more than
50 pounds can also be used. The
town cannot pick up plastic bags
of leaves.
Backyard composting is an alter-
native to leaf pickup. Information
is available at the N.C. Botanical
Garden, Agriculture Extension Agent
or Orange Community Recycling.

NC House, Senate to vote Thursday “… There has been a

Imitation marijuana, which
became popular on college cam-
puses last year, could soon be
banned in the state.
The bill banning synthetic mar-
ijuana was proposed in both the
N.C. House and the Senate and is
expected to be voted on Thursday.
Imitation marijuana, widely
known as K-2 or spice, is a mix-
ture of several plants and herbs
sprayed with a chemical that imi-
tates tetrahydrocannabinol, or
THC, the psychoactive ingredient
in marijuana.
Rep. Jimmy Dixon, R-Duplin,
who is a co-sponsor of the bill, said
he expects the bill to pass.
Legislators were prompted to
ban the substance because law
enforcement agencies and media
outlets have warned the public
about the dangers of synthetic
marijuana, Dixon said.
“My understanding is that there
has been a growing awareness that
these drugs were being used more
frequently.”
The bill states that anyone
caught possessing, selling, trans-
porting or delivering more than 35
grams of K-2 or similar drugs will
be charged with a felony and could
face between 70 to 84 months in
jail. Violators will also have to pay
a fine of $50,000.
growing awareness
that these drugs
were being used
more frequently.”
Rep. Jimmy Dixon, R-Duplin
If the bill is passed, the ban
would go into effect April 1.
Nine states have passed laws
against the substance and 21 other
states have similar bills proposed.
Sen. Don Vaughan, D-Guilford,
sponsored a bill that is similar to
the one proposed by both the House
and the Senate, but his bill specifi-
cally lists certain chemicals that
when combined should be banned.
Ryan Butler, the legislative
director for Vaughan, said the high
that results from using K-2 is very
similar to other illegal substances.
There was a lot of public con-
cern about the possible effects of
using K-2 after news reports about
the side effects associated with the
substance surfaced, he said..
“There are reports that state that
the drug contains chemicals that
are five times more powerful than
marijuana.”
Tim Johnson, a sophomore at
N.C. State University, said he’s tried
spice before and the side-effects
were strong.
“I felt like I had a heart attack,”
he said.

now the company has to get a
waste water permit every five years
— and never has any problems,
Culbert said.
“We don’t have a mercury limit,
per se, in our waste-water permit,”
she said. “We have to provide a lot
of information as to how well that
water is being protected.”
The state has more high-haz-
ard coal ash ponds than any other
state in the country, according to a
report by the EPA.
But Mather said air pollution
prevention couldn’t be any better
at this time.
“It’s an issue, but it’s something
that has been addressed at a pretty
high level in North Carolina.”

Drescher, Saad named class presidents Three
by Alex hammer
staff writer
The senior class of 2012 will
be led by Dean Drescher and
Mohammad Saad.
The pair received 1,073 votes
from the junior class, almost dou-
bling the 684 votes obtained by
their opponents, Susan Chen and
Omar Currie.
These numbers are unofficial
until the Board of Elections certi-
fies them.
“It’s really exciting to see all
our efforts come through and see
all our hard work from the past
three months pay off for our goal,”
Saad said.
Drescher and Saad’s main cam-
paign objectives were class unity
and community involvement.
Their platform included a
variety of options for community
service, including school supply
drives, Operation Christmas Child
and teaming up with organizations
in the surrounding Chapel Hill and
Carrboro areas.
At left, juniors Mohammad Saad (left) and Dean Drescher (right) bump fists after winning the race for senior
class president. At right, Susie Chen (left) and Omar Currie (right) react after hearing the results on Tuesday.
Drescher and Saad collected 322
signatures, more than 200 fewer
than their opponents. The duo
attributed their signature count to
their decision to stop petitioning
after reaching the required amount.
While Drescher and Saad took
a rather traditional campaign
approach, Chen and Currie’s tactics
were more eccentric.

The duo made a video, which is

The Daily Tar Heel
UNC tramples Midshipmen National and World News
Tar Heels break
from tough slate
by David Adler
staff writer
North Carolina men’s tennis
dropped just one point against
Navy in their meeting last season,
cruising to a 6-1 win.
They had even less trouble this
year.
No. 19 UNC (3-1) rolled over the
Midshipmen, sweeping the six sin-
gles matches and taking two of the
MEN’S Tennis three doubles
matches for a
Navy 0 7-0 victory.
UNC  7 T h e Ta r
Heels mixed up
their normal lineup, resting No. 90
junior Brennan Boyajian and only
keeping one of their three usual
doubles pairings — senior Stefan
Hardy and junior Zach Hunter —
intact.
But UNC coach Sam Paul said
the new pairings were not the rea-
son the Tar Heels lost one of the
matches.
“I wasn’t pleased with the dou-
bles energy,” Paul said. “We need to
perform better than that.”
No. 58 junior Joey Burkhardt
also sat out, missing his fourth
straight dual match. A transfer
from Florida, he has not yet par-
ticipated in team play for North
Carolina.
“Joey has failed to meet team obli-
gations at this time,” Paul said. “Until
he does, he won’t participate.”
Service makes or breaks Hardy
by Justin mayhew
staff writer
North Carolina men’s tennis
player Stefan Hardy’s serve has it
all.
On one point he can blast a
serve down the middle; on another
he can spin the serve out wide and
clip the line — there seems to be a
complex method to his madness.
But for fifth-year senior Hardy,
the formula is simple.
“It’s based on where he’s stand-
ing, what serve I hit before that or
how my arm is feeling,” Hardy said.
“Basically, what I want to do at that
moment in time.”
Hardy seemed to have his way
both on the baseline and on the
scoreboard Tuesday, rolling to
victories in singles and doubles in
UNC’s 7-0 victory against Navy.
Hardy cruised to an 8-4 doubles
victory with junior partner Zach
Hunter, but his most dominant
performance of the afternoon was
in the second set of his singles vic-
tory against Marcus Rebersak.
Free Tan
Weekend
February 11, 12 & 13
But even without Boyajian and
Burkhardt, it was a relatively easy
day for a Tar Heel team that was
coming off two tough matches
against top 25 opponents. UNC
beat No. 22 Georgia Tech 4-3 on
Jan. 29, then lost 4-1 to No. 11
Georgia on Jan. 30.
Navy’s players, though, were
nowhere near the level of Georgia’s
or Georgia Tech’s.
N o . 3 0 s o p h o m o r e Jo s e
Hernandez, who upset No. 12
Guillermo Gomez of Georgia
Tech, easily handled Midshipman
Owen Bullard, 6-2, 6-4, on the first
court.
Hernandez also played at the
No. 1 flight against Navy last sea-
son, which was his only time on the
top court.
No. 103 Hardy, who lost his sin-
gles matches against Georgia Tech
and Georgia in straight sets, had
no problem against Navy’s Marcus
Rebersak. He won in straight sets,
6-3, 6-0, and was the first Tar Heel
off the court.
Hardy had been hampered by a
knee injury. Paul said he has been
getting better with each match he
plays, and Hardy said his knee is
essentially back to full strength.
“There’s some scar tissue and
I can’t bend it as much as I used
to, but I don’t really bend it that
much in a match anyway,” Hardy
said. “It’s 100 percent. It feels
good.”
The Navy match was only a
small break for North Carolina.
UNC will travel to Alabama
on Saturday to take on No. 28
After taking the first set 6-3,
Hardy breezed through the second
set 6-0 behind a serving perfor-
mance that featured just as much
skill as it did strategy.
All-America Hardy recognized
that his serve’s lethal combina-
tion of power, spin and accuracy
wasn’t going to be enough to finish
the match — it was his deception
that left Rebersak frustrated and
blanked in the deciding set.
“I like to mix it up, keep him off
guard,” Hardy said. “If I start serv-
ing too many places or start serv-
ing at the same places over and
over again, he’s going to catch up
on it, so it’s good to mix it up.”
Hardy hit serves all around the
box at varying speeds and RPM’s,
exploiting Rebersak’s unorthodox
hitting style.
Rebersak used extreme grips on
his backhand and forehand sides,
which gave him more pop on his
returns—when he could get to
Hardy’s serves.
Hardy created difficult shots

The Daily Tar Heel
Established 1893,

Ian Williams
Former DTH Columnist
Reasons
why I still
hate those
Dookies
I
always hated it when alumni
came back and waxed rhap-
sodic about their undergrad-
uate years.
So why listen to me, you might
ask. Well, usually in this spot the
DTH runs an old chestnut I wrote
about Why I Hate Dook. I had a
Wednesday column back in the
Bronze Age of 1990, and I told the
story of how my high school visit
to Durham turned into a flaming
pyre of white-hot hostility.
When the piece ran, I thought
my friends would disparage
the obviousness of it — writing
a column about hating Dook?
Instead, the column ended
up on refrigerators across the
Piedmont, and it taught me two
lessons. First, don’t overthink
your duties; and second, never
underestimate the hatred for
Durham Clown College.
A whole cottage industry has
since grown out of the UNC-Dook
rivalry: two big-selling books,
endless coverage on ESPN and
gigabytes of Photoshopped files
featuring Mike Kryshwqhskdi.
What used to be private disgust is
now a public phenomenon, and it
raises the question: Is Dook still
worth hating?
I assumed, like everyone does,
I’d mellow once I graduated. I’d
gain a little perspective, and my
passion for beating Dook would
gradually drift away. I’m here to
tell you these things don’t neces-
sarily happen. My eye-twitching
contempt of Dook’s basketball
team grew. How could it not,
when faced with such a consis-
tent hoopster jerk factory?
How can you watch any Koach
K press conference and not
feel this man is a modern-day
Narcissus so fixated on success
that he’d throw his own players
under the bus? A tightly wound
mess of resentment and profan-
ity, the toxic combination of a
control freak with a thinly veiled
persecution complex? Yes, I was
a psych major.
And believe me, I wouldn’t bet
three cups of snot that there isn’t
some person like me in the other
camp. But I wouldn’t trade places
if the Buddha himself showed up
wearing a navy blue unitard.
I’ll tell you why: I got to choose
my church. Having grown up with-
out an organized religion, I adopt-
ed the Carolina Way. I adhered to
the Dean-Gut-Roy belief system
and incorporated it everywhere:
doing things the right way; playing
hard, smart and together; valuing
your family above all.
We all burst from Chapel
Hill in a plume of gorgeous blue
smoke, wafting to all corners
of the globe where other like-
minded souls await. The “sky-
blue mafia” has beds for you in
Manhattan, an internship in
Hollywood, and we’ll save your
spot in line at the K&W in Rocky
Mount. There is no old boy’s
network, no secret handshake.
We just share our affection for a
town on a hill and this: When we
see Dookies clogging our TV, our
lips curl, and we seethe.
Is Dook still worth hating?
Find yourself in the midst of the
Kameron Krazies, a numbnut
group of ravenously twee dorks
who shellac their nipples with
blue food coloring, scream cruel
epithets at opposing teams,
then jump up and down with
the mindless lockstep of the
Communist military.
There’s just so much to despise!
Every religion must have its Devil,
and ours is Blue. Whether you’re
in an 8 a.m. econ class trying to
stay awake, or in your nursery try-
ing to get your daughter to sleep,
we’re in it together. God bless
them Tar Heel boys!

Election Day postmortem
While we await election results, something for
current and future candidates to consider
T
he Board of Elections’
ludicrous hearing of dis-
qualification for student
body president candidate Rick
Ingram late Monday night was
an appropriate end to an elec-
tion season that made a mockery
of student government at UNC.
In some ways, this election
was typical. Platforms were
still painfully long and pain-
fully broad. Promises have
been inflated.
Yet the platforms also offered
a comforting sense of continu-
ity compared with the ridicu-
lous violations, allegations, and
conduct of both the campaigns
and the Board of Elections.
Really, the only reprieve from
both the insanity and the inan-
ity of it all was former Student
Congress Speaker Deanna
Santoro’s suit against the BOE
filed at the bitter end.
With an injunction on the
outcome pending that suit, the
pain is temporarily eased.
While we wait, there are
three issues that campaigns
need to address going forward:
platforms, general conduct by
campaigns and by the Board
of Elections, and the Student
Code’s election law provisions.
Platforms
As always, platforms were
large. They weren’t as large as
some years, but what remained
was the product of a lot of
people trying to fit as much
rhetoric as possible onto each
of their narrow planks.
It needs to go. Aspiring
bureaucrats need to learn that
no one wants to read word
vomit.
Future candidates: Have a
defined vision and don’t feel
inadequate with a concise plat-
form. Keep them short, and keep
goals tailored to what you can
actually do. If you need perspec-
tive, consider the following:
One of our favorite examples
was Ingram’s plan to address
Transcript troubles

I

ConnectCarolina forced the reg-
istrar to work with an inefficient
system during a time when stu-
dents most need transcripts.

requests because of the tran-
sition to the new system, but
ConnectCarolina’s lack of effi-
ciency is irritating.

University registrar, said budget

gentrification. Not only is he

the result of student renters in
historic neighborhoods. Way to
advocate for student needs.
Ian Lee wanted to change
the tuition model completely.
We thought it was an interest-
ing concept, but in reality, the
best a student body president
can do these days is fight to
minimize tuition hikes.
Since former Student Body
President James Allred’s impas-
sioned speeches against tuition
hikes in front of the Board of
Governors, no one has even
delivered on that.
Mar y Cooper wants to
expand CCI printing. One
caveat: There’s no money. And
we doubt Townhouse is pony-
ing up the cash for it.
Brooklyn Stephens want-
ed a “Carolina Calendar,”
even though it already exists.
Creating a new one might
never happen either.

Stephens, conduct was abys-
mal this year.
Lee should have resigned
as student body secretary, and
Ingram and his manager were
both loose cannons. Through
all of this, the BOE sat idly
by, leaving some issues unad-
dressed and addressing others
poorly.
Conduct
Then Monday, UNC entered
the twilight zone.
Brooklyn Stephens, who has
been the one completely non-
controversial candidate in this
election, rode a horse through
the Pit. The steed was gone
soon enough, but we’re not
happy that it left behind some-
thing else starting with an “s”.
That night, the race culmi-
nated in the farce of a proceed-
ing that was Ingram’s disqual-
ification hearing. Everyone
finally got to air their petty
website has told students to give
at least 72 hours for a transcript
to be processed. The current
six- to seven-day waiting period
makes for an unwanted surprise
to a student submitting a last-
minute transcript request.
It is clear that UNC made a
poor decision in how it imple-
mented ConnectCarolina. Its
inferiority to Student Central is
ridiculous — students cannot
even print an unofficial tran-
script online, which makes this
transcript backup even more
aggravating.
What makes this situation
worse is the poor timing of the
system switch. At this peak sea-
son of internship and employ-
ment searching, Derickson said

grievances over trumped-up
charges. Seriously — “cooter”?
Mary Cooper admonished
the crowd at the end for bring-
ing in donuts and popcorn,
but we couldn’t find better live
entertainment on campus.
With the online stream, we
actually couldn’t find better
entertainment off campus. It
was like an episode of Jerry
Springer — pettiness bought
into only by the participants.
The crowd rolled.
The Code
If our intelligence wasn’t the
most abused thing in this elec-
tion, then the Student Code
was. The BOE made a poor
decision which allowed Ian
Lee to stay student body secre-
tary when he should have been
forced to resign.
Too bad there’s two sections
of the Code that make this crys-
tal clear. To save himself from
embarrassment, BOE chairman
Andrew Phillips simply decided
the other one wasn’t worth rul-
ing on. His revival of “separate
but equal” makes about as much
sense as the first.
A n d w h o c o u l d f o r ge t
UCommons? The Student
Union showed that it would
stoop to whatever lows nec-
essary to buy its way into
student’s hearts. When that
wasn’t enough, it asked its own
employees to go petition for its
placement on the ballot.
Student Congress has passed
some referendum reform. But
it needs to be sure that no insti-
tution can ever be this abusive
with its resources in an election
again.
As for the candidates, we
think that the Code is clear on
who can run. But making the
Code BOE idiot-proof might be
necessary after this season.
So to the 2011 elections, we
can’t wait to say, “So long.” It’s
been fun. It’s been real fun.
But it’s hardly been real.
scripts. The volume of requests
already causes a bottleneck in
processing, so there is no rea-
son that an inefficient system
should be incorporated into
the hassle.
Despite the setbacks with
the new system, the registrar is
working hard to make sure that
students get the transcripts
they need in a timely manner.
Derickson has promised to
contact employers, internships
and graduate schools to make
amends if a student does not
receive a transcript in time.
Affected students should
take him up on this promise.
We have good faith that the
registrar will continue to work
to ensure that students affected
by the system switch are given
an answer.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Join the social justice rally
on Jones Street in Raleigh
TO THE EDITOR:
This Saturday is the fifth
annual HK on J, Historic
Thousands on Jones Street, rally
in Raleigh. The rally centers on
a progressive 14-point people’s
agenda focusing on many social
justice issues, specifically educa-
tional and economic equality as
well as equal protection under
the law. This year there will be
particular focus on the resegre-
gation of public schools, regres-
sive tax cuts and civil rights
abuses, especially in the Latino
community.
Being a public university, it
is our duty to use what we learn
here and the resources afforded
to us to give back to the state and
work for social justice on a local
level. These issues are critical to
our own University’s commit-
ment to diversity and accessibil-
ity. Students at this University
have been at the forefront of
every major social justice move-
ment this state has seen, and this
Saturday we have the opportuni-
ty to continue the legacy.
These are crucial issues affect-
ing the well-being of all North
Carolinians. HK on J represents
a coalition of 100 community
and civil society organizations.
Come support your fellow states-
persons in the quest for human
rights and remember: Forward
together, not one step back. Visit

Everybody needs to quit
whining and cheer for UNC
TO THE EDITOR:
Regardless of the outcome of
the student government elec-
tions, one thing is certain: UNC
has a serious case of the whinies,
and it’s kind of embarrassing.
First it was Rick Ingram whin-
ing about Ian Lee, and then Lee
got the spirit and whined about
Ingram. Mary Cooper did not
want to be the odd person out,
so she threw in her whiny voice.
Then Ingram fired back with a
big, long whine about how every-
one was whining about him. And
if Brooklyn Stephens knew what
all the hoopla was about, she prob-
ably would have whined, too.
As if all that was not enough,
on Monday our Student
Congress speaker resigned so
that she could legally whine
to the Student Supreme Court
about how the Board of Elections
needs to whine more.
This is getting a little ridicu-
lous. I am sure whoever is elect-
ed will do a fine job. There are
definitely more important things
to occupy our minds, like how we
are going to beat Duke tonight.
Quit yo’ whining and be happy;
we’re lucky enough to be at the
greatest University in the world.
Go Heels!

Santoro served admirably
as speaker of Congress
TO THE EDITOR:
On behalf of the Congressional
Research Service, I would like to
thank Deanna Santoro for her
service as speaker of the 92nd
session of the UNC Student
Congress. Deanna truly embod-
ies honor and integrity — two
principles that are at the core of
our Student Code.
In August 2010, Deanna cre-
ated the UNC Congressional
Research Service to analyze
the communication, policy and
outreach efforts of our Student
Congress. Our team will contin-
ue to serve the student body with
the greatly appreciated support
of Deanna and our 92nd session
of Congress.
Please let Deanna’s resig-
nation as speaker serve as an
opportunity for all students and
members of student government
to reflect on our commitments to
the Student Code. No matter the
outcomes of the Feb. 8 elections,
let us set aside cynicism and
uphold the “light” and “liberty”
our University represents. We
are all Tar Heels, and we are all
Carolina.

‘Drew who’ cheers aren’t
respectful or sensitive
TO THE EDITOR:
As I stood in the crowd at the
Florida State basketball game
this past Sunday, I was disheart-
ened and disappointed to hear
my peers begin a raucous cheer
of “Drew Who.”
Now I love Carolina basket-
ball as much as you, and I cer-
tainly bleed Carolina Blue. I too
am surprised, saddened and
disappointed by Larry Drew’s
departure from UNC, and I am
not here to argue with anyone on
whether his decision was right or
wrong. However, it was extreme-
ly rude and tasteless of our stu-
dent section to begin shouting
this cheer.
Coach Roy Williams, the
team and the entire basketball
program have all stated that
they have been shocked, hurt
and even angry about the news
of Drew’s departure, and it was
disrespectful and insensitive to
yell this cheer to a team that is
coping with the events of the
past week. As Carolina students,
we should personify the values of
this great University, and we are
much better than such degrad-
ing cheers. So fellow students,
I implore you to please, keep it
classy. Go Heels!
