When North Carolinas baseball team took the field for its opening game of the NCAA regionals, it was business as usual. The No. 1 seed in the Chapel Hill Regional, the Tar Heels took care of No. 4 seed in the regional, Cornell, 7-4 and advanced on their usual track on the winners bracket. But a feisty No.3 seeded St. Johns team coming off a blowout victory against No. 2 seed East Carolina was waiting, and the Red Storm would be the team to deliver the finishing blow to UNCs season Sunday night. But Saturday, St. Johns struck first, scoring off catcher Danny Betheas ground out in the second inning. After scoring one more in the third inning, the Red Storm quieted until the final inning. Shell McCain hit a two-run homer in the sixth inning to give UNC a 3-2 lead. Parks Jordan added another run for the Tar Heels with an RBI double in the top of the ninth, giving UNC a 4-2 lead going into the last three outs. Without hesitation, UNC coach Mike Fox put All-American closer Michael Morin on the mound to finish the game. After giving up hits to the first two batters, Morin struck out Zach Lauricella. Morin then faced Bethea. After throwing one strike, Morin left a fastball up in the zone and Bethea connected. The ball sailed over the left field wall and brought all three runners home. With the walk-off home run, Bethea

The Red Storm bats were too hot for UNC pitchers
The Tar Heels ran into a streaking St. Johns team that was tough at the plate.
By Brandon Moree
Sports Editor
The North Carolina baseball team was hosting a regional for the sixth time in seven years, but 2012 marks the first time in that stretch that a hosting Tar Heel team failed to advance to the Super Regional. All season long, the Tar Heels pitching depth was touted as among the best in the country. The staff as a whole
posted the fourth best ERA in the nation and boasted two All-Americans. But the Red Storm is red hot right now especially at the plate. We had that storybook ending yesterday and I think that took a little wind out of their sails, St. Johns head coach Ed Blankmeyer said after the game Sunday. Sometimes its destiny. I thought we played our A game, I thought we were playing our best baseball coming in to this and I thought (UNC coach) Mike (Fox)s club wasnt at their best. After dropping the regular season ending series against Seton Hall, St. Johns tore through the Big East tournament and took their second Big East crown in three seasons.
Continuing that momentum, in three games in the Chapel Hill regional St. Johns racked up 38 hits. Take Danny Betheas walk-off home run Saturday night for example. They swung it well were running freshman after freshman out there and they havent been in this situation for us, Fox said. Did they not quite make the pitch we wanted to? Yeah, occasionally, but you have give St. Johns credit. They swung it well and got the big hits when they needed to and that separates the regional champions from everyone else. In contrast, the Tar Heels werent swinging the bats that well and certainly not when they needed it the most.
Much of the Tar Heels offensive struggles can be attributed to the strong showing from St. Johns pitching staff. What turned out to be the clinching game was just St. Johns third game of the regional, while it was UNCs fourth. As a result the Tar Heels had already used each of their usual weekend starters Kent Emanuel, Benton Moss and Hobbs Johnson. So Sunday night Fox started Shane Taylor who had started just three games this season before starting in an elimination game at the regional. Matt Carasiti who started Sundays game is a junior with 13 starts already
UNC joined a select group of the nations colleges and universities in a commitment to financial aid transparency this week. Chancellor Holden Thorp represented UNC Tuesday at the White House, where Vice President Joe Biden and other members of the Obama administration discussed how higher education institutions can provide students with clear and consistent information about the financial commitment associated with student loans. Thorp said it was not a big deal for UNC to sign on to the plan because it already provides students with comprehensive financial aid information. We want to make sure students get the best information they can and that they understand it, Thorp said. To meet the federal governments new financial aid recommendations, UNC will add estimated monthly payments on student loans and the rate at which graduates repay their student loans without defaulting in its financial aid award letters. According to a White House press release, more college students than ever are depending on loans to pay for college. Twothirds of bachelors degree recipients rack up an average $26,000 in student loan debt. Thorp said a major part of Tuesdays discussion focused on how universities can provide students with financial aid information clearly but without overwhelming them.

Duke University recently joined the lineup of higher education institutions boosting their presence in the nations capitol. The nations colleges and universities have steadily been increasing their spending in Washington, D.C., for more than a decade. Viveca Novak, spokeswoman for the Center for Responsive Politics, said universities use lobbyists in order to protect funding for federal agencies providing grants. The fact that some schools are opening permanent offices in D.C. reflects that times are getting tighter, Novak said. Federal money is more important than ever. Universities have always lobbied the
federal government, usually in connection with federal funds for research, Novak said. More than $107 million was spent on lobbying in 2011 which is nearly $40 million more than the amount spent 10 years ago. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, the UNC system spent $473,554 on lobbying efforts in 2011. The system spent $210,000 in 1999, when it opened its permanent federal relations office in Washington. Duke spent $442,165 on lobbying in 2011 more than a twofold increase since 2001. Dukes new office, known as Duke in Washington, doubles as an office for lobbyists and an academic building where research takes place and courses are taught.
We had a lot programs going on and wanted to consolidate resources, said Chris Simmons, associate vice president of federal relations at Duke. Simmons said the schools lobbyists used to sublet office space in Washington but the new office will enhance Dukes visibility on policy issues. He said he does not expect the cost of lobbying to increase as a result of the new office. Were going to have a big impact because of the physical presence, he said. UNC-system Vice President for Federal Relations Kimrey Rhinehardt said UNC has maintained a permanent presence in Washington since

Howard and Lillian Lee Scholars Charter School will not be ready to open for the 2012-13 school year. But the schools board of directors is already in the process of reapplying for a new charter. The school, which partners with for-profit management company National Heritage Academies, was opposed by school officials and the local branch of the National
Association for the Advancement of Colored People. School supporters hope it will serve minorities and reduce the achievement gap. The North Carolina State Board of Education approved the schools charter earlier this year, under the condition that it would be ready to open for the 2012-13 school year. A major setback the school faced was locating a temporary space to house the school in. Both applications require the school building to take up at least 45,000 square feet. The school must also have a soccer field, a 165-space parking lot and a location inside a residential area. Because the school wont reach
We thought that the charters would be issued a little bit earlier than they were.

howard and lillian lee scholars Charter school board member
its July 1 deadline, it must go through the entire application process again for the 2013-14 school year. We thought that the charters would be issued a little bit earlier than they were, said Annie Doris Jackson, a member of the schools board of directors. Jackson said the board of directors had not anticipated how long it would take to find temporary property to house the school on, while waiting for their permanent location to be ready.
Joel Medley, director of the state office of charter schools, said if the charter school is approved by an advisory council, it will next go to an interview process. Medley said the advisory council will most likely reconvene on June 20 to discuss which of the 54 charter applicants will return for an interview. Medley said the councils prior approval of the charter school did not necessarily mean they would approve it again. They dont really consider
what did or did not happen in the past, he said. The school expects to enroll about 480 students in its first year. About 20 families so far have shown interest in attending the charter school, Jackson said. She said they had kept in touch with the families in case the school was not ready to open for the upcoming school year so they could make alternative plans. Dottie Heath, a consultant at the state office of charter schools, said it is fairly typical for a charter school to have trouble getting off the ground in its initial year. It is a difficult situation to find property, to find land, to find place, she said.
But school officials hope to have a new site ready once the new application is approved. Joe DiBenedetto, spokesman for National Heritage Academies, said the company has reached an agreement to purchase seven acres of land on the eastern tract of the Claremont South development on Homestead Road in Carrboro for the school. DiBenedetto said work on the Claremont site will begin once the town of Carrboro approves the modified development plan and a new charter is received from the state Board of Education.

dth/danielle stephenson Blood drive volunteer Debbie Quach serves pizza to donor Katie LeMay, rising senior at UNC, after she gave blood. By the end of the first shift at 12:30 p.m., 482 units were given.
Allen Glazner may never meet the person whose life his blood will save. But Glazner, chairman of the geology department at UNC, said he could not miss the chance to give blood. He has type O negative. Someday you may need it, you never know, so its a good thing to do, he said. People really need it. The Carolina Blood Drive is set up at the Dean E. Smith Center by University staff every summer to compensate for a national drop in blood donations during summer months. An estimated 97 percent of the population will be touched by the need for blood at some point in their lives, said Katrina Coble, chair of the Carolina Blood Drive committee. The blood collected will help ensure that when those products are needed, they will be available, she said. The goal for this years drive was 1,000 units of blood, but organizers collected only 784 units Tuesday. One unit of blood can help up to three patients. Part of the reason for this shortage may be the
need to improve the drives advertising strategies, said Caroline Allison, an American Red Cross donor recruitment representative for the drive. Blood drive organizers are attempting to reach out to a wider demographic, including new faculty members and summer school students who may not be aware of the annual drive, in order to attract more donors. Organizers have set up a website, a Facebook page and a Twitter account in recent years to attract more donations. Were really trying to plug into social media, Allison said. Were still trying to reach out to younger donors that way, and were really trying to increase our visibility. Lynn Eades, who runs the blood drives website, said she has seen the use of social media has increased the number of potential donors reached through advertising. I think we need to do some more advertising, especially if were going to do this drive, she said. Typically the drives attendees consist of faculty members and staff at UNC, but Coble said organizers would love to see more summer school students involved. It actually doesnt take as much time as students
might think, Coble said. If the students would come, wed love to have them here. Coble said she would like to thank all of the donors who gave blood Tuesday. Students can drive to the Smith Center and park for free on the day of blood drive. It typically takes between an hour and an hour and a half to donate. An hour and half to save peoples lives is a small exchange, Allison said. Julia Cheek, a team supervisor for the American Red Cross for 23 years, said volunteers recently got a chance to see the results of their hard work when a little girl in remission for leukemia came to a staff meeting to talk to them. She got blood from blood we d been given, Cheek said. Its great to see what that blood is doing, how its working for people that really need it. Cheek said the blood drives can also be fun. You get to meet interesting people, she said. Today I met 3 or 4 football players and the coach when they came to give blood, which was exciting.

UNC designates more than 100 acres for preservation
Chancellor Holden Thorp announced Monday that 107 acres of land will be managed by the North Carolina Botanical Garden through the Mason Farm Biological Reserve. The land was given to the University as part of the Parker Property in 1976. Under the botanical gardens management, the land will be preserved in its undeveloped state, yet remain accessible to researchers, students and others with an interest in what it has to teach us, Thorp said in a press release.

Students taking summer school classes should pay their tuition and save their receipts.

Hinton graduated from UNC in 1974. About 600 alumni have received notifications this fiscal year according to Janet Kelly-Scholle, director of finance communication and training for UNC. She wrote in an email that this is a last effort for the University and state to collect outstanding debt. The Department of Revenue charged Hinton an additional $5 administrative fee. Hinton said he was surprised and upset with the University. I couldnt imagine that it was true that I owed them
The UNC School of Medicine will join more than 60 institutions nationwide in offering dualdegree programs. Many experts say the program which allows medical students to earn both their doctor of medicine and a Master of Business Administration teaches skills that will make graduates of the program more competitive. If they want to run a hospital or a medical group or become surgeon general, the world is their oyster, said Maria Chandler, president for the Association of M.D./MBA Programs. Chandler said the number of joint degree programs has significantly increased in the past decade. She said 65 out of the 130 medical schools nationwide have the program now. Buck Goldstein, an entrepreneurship professor at UNC, said the program will provide graduates with opportunities in the health care industry. There will be many innovative opportunities in medicine, Goldstein said. There is no field where there will there will be more rapid change, he said. Cam Patterson, associate dean for medical entrepreneurship at UNC, said the popularity of the program stems from a growing demand for physicians who understand the market. Clearly more institutions are providing the dual degree opportunity, he said. There are many physicians that are poorly prepared for business aspects for the world of medicine. Our goal is to tap into a growing need for this area, Patterson said. Patterson said as many as one-third of students in the UNC School of Medicine have inquired about the program, but the program is very selective. He said only five students have been admitted to the joint degree program, and eight to 10 students will be admitted annually beginning in 2013. While Chandler said programs vary by school, she said it usually takes five years to earn both degrees. This is one year less than the total six it would take to complete medical and business school programs. Patterson said UNCs program will require students to take courses at the School of Medicine for three and a half years and at the Kenan-Flager Business School for a year and a half. Chandler said students of dual-degree programs at other universities have been satisfied and have been promoted faster than graduates with just an M.D. Goldstein said the program is best suited for people who want to change the field of health care. Entrepreneurship is not about getting a job, Goldstein said. It is about creating jobs. Contact the State & National Editor at state@dailytarheel.com.

Phillip Asbury, UNCs deputy director for scholarships and student aid, said the White House discussion is important because many colleges and universities in the U.S. dont provide students with enough information to make informed financial decisions.

He said he suspects the space that Bank of America occupies would be broken down into smaller units for sale.

agencies that help the programs unemployed students find jobs. Olion said he expects at least 10 students to enroll in each certificate program for the 2012-13 academic year. While all courses require a bachelors degree at minimum, Olion said alumni of the university would not get preference over other North Carolina residents. Joni Worthington, spokeswoman for the UNC system, wrote in an email that the system played no role in developing the programs.
She said individual universities are not required to obtain consent from the UNC system to develop a certificate program. While Olion said he has no information on the cost of the program, he said the school could simply train current faculty to teach them. One of the great things about the program is that we already have faculty members to teach it, he said. Contact the State & National Editor at state@dailytarheel.com.

Mean To Say That. The song begins with Holsapples robust voice and a strumming acoustic guitar, riding the line of a swaying ballad. The highlight of the album is She Wont Drive In the Rain Anymore. Holsapples poetic lyrics weave together a powerful story and create vivid images for the listener over a swirling electric guitar. Lyrics such as She watches the heavens open wide. She watches it all from safe inside. Its so different when you are home and dry, perfectly represent the dBs maturity as songwriters since its earlier albums. The album closes with Remember (Falling Off The Sky), a nostalgic, fitting song for the close of an album from a band that may have passed its prime of the 1980s pop era, but shows it is still evolving in the world of modern music.

Rachel Shope
Carolina Girl Senior English major from Marshall, North Carolina. email: shope@live.unc.edu
s I head into my final year at UNC, questions about my plans for the future keep cropping up. I have said, Im an English major, enough times by now to expect the response, So are you going to teach? No. Ive never had any desire to become a teacher. When I tell them Im not planning on going to grad school right away either, they give me a blank stare and say, So what are you going to do? But what they really mean is, What else can you do? According to Newsweek magazines recent list of the 13 Most Useless College Majors, trying to find employment with a B.A. in English is like Tennysons Ulysses trying to sail beyond the horizon. And if your major is remotely related to fine arts or humanities, youre in the same boat. Newsweeks list ranks 13 degrees based on unemployment rate of recent and experienced graduates, earnings of those graduates and projected growth from 2010 through 2020. With the national employment rate hovering at 8.2 percent, college grads are hungry for a means to a relatively seamless transition into the work force. Degrees in fields such as film arts (No. 3 on the list), philosophy (No. 6), English (No. 7) and history (No. 12) seem frivolous to a population driven by thrift and financial success. The statistics are enough to make every hopeful humanities major pull an academic Sylvia Plath. Use value boils down to a distilled, impersonal assessment of monetary worth. In pursuing flashy resume boosters, we tend to neglect the cultivation of the more basic skills that are essential for any kind of success. Every major on Newsweeks list nurtures interpersonal communication, strong writing and creative thinking. These universally important skills tend to be undervalued precisely because they are so basic. Why spend four years of college developing things that should have been mastered before high school? Everyone should know how to correctly construct a sentence and efficiently interact with their colleagues, but this is not the case. Ive learned since coming to college that some of the most brilliant people are incapable of expressing themselves. Intelligence isnt useful if it is made inaccessible by a communication barrier. And lets not underestimate the passion and tenacity of those who study these useless subjects. Theres a lot to be said for the tenderness with which a true literature lover handles a first edition of Leaves of Grass in Wilson Library; for the political science (No. 13) majors overseeing voter registration in the Pit, trying to amplify our generations political voice; for musicians (No. 11), who fill in the blanks when verbal and written communication are insufficient. These people can have an impact that will linger long after the economy has recovered. These future Mark Twains, Alfred Hitchcocks and Walter Cronkites have the ability to create something timeless. And that should be respected, not doubted.

decision-making process that enables community members to articulate and refine their values and goals, one that provides a framework for weighing competing values. To meet this challenge, the council should revive the towns Technology Advisory Committee, which will use software and social media in reaching out to residents and provide a virtual space for civic engagement when time and distance would interfere. If this document is to be used in both budget discussion and land use planning, it is important that it accurately represents the interests of all town stakeholders and conveys a clear, coherent and usable vision. It is not apparent at this stage in the process that Chapel Hill 2020 meets these criteria. As Chapel Hill 2020 moves into its next phase, a Technology Advisory Committee would provide important information and tools for engaging the public in a sustained way. Such tools include feedback software that utilizes user-submitted rankings and ideas, online forums and blog space for town staff and concerned residents to communicate regularly and publicly. A simplified, coherent and
publicized website for the plan and more social media outreach would go a long way in reaching people outside the council chambers. The plan also does not provide an overarching framework for navigating these themes, which often conflict and in some cases are mutually exclusive such as transit and sustainability, two important themes of Chapel Hill 2020. Developing online resources, which have historically been overlooked in Chapel Hill and in the 2020 visioning process, can help ease gaps created by lack of access to transportation or a busy schedule and provide creative alternative methods of engagement to make sure underrepresented stakeholders have opportunities to make their voices heard. Chapel Hill needs a development plan that reflects the things we as a community value and the town we collectively aspire to be. As a living document, Chapel Hill 2020 can still be that plan. But for it to successfully honor and navigate the diverse and competing values of this community, policymakers must expand the horizons of resident engagement by incorporating online outreach.

That awkward moment on Franklin Street when a homeless man starts running beside you. Summer schoolers, why you no send kvetches?!? To the roommate who keeps stealing my food: your cars wheels should sell for enough to buy my meals for the summer. Doc Watson died. Thats mad sad. Screw science, equality and reason.
