UNC picks ﬁnalists for provost Four candidates to contend for a top University position BY eliza kern

Assistant University Editor

The University has selected four finalists to contend for the position of executive vice chancellor and provost. The decision represents an important step forward in selecting an individual to serve as the school’s top academic officer and No. 2 administrator, a post vacated when former Provost Bernadette Gray-Little was named chancellor at the University of Kansas on May 29. The four candidates hail from other universities and were selected by a 17-member search committee com-

A Chapel Hill businesswoman and mother of three took a call on her Bluetooth from her brother in New York. “Have you heard any news?” asked Paulette Bekolo, her eyes searching the sky for answers. “Nothing?” Bekolo’s brother and his children live in a town about three and a half hours away from Port-au-Prince, but three days after Haiti’s largest earthquake in 200 years, she still has not been able to get in touch with them. She said she’s worried about what the quake’s aftershocks in the town and a 45,000 or more estimated death toll might mean for her family. “I’ve been hearing a lot of bad news all day long from other Haitians in the Triangle,” she said. “Their families have been buried.” Bekolo, who grew up 30 minutes from Port-au-Prince, returned from a week-long stay in Haiti in December. It was her first trip back in 10 years. “I’ve seen so much hope,” she said. “It breaks my heart.” Bekolo moved from Haiti when she was 19 to study psychology and statistics at Sorbonne University in Paris. She and

She said she moved her family to Chapel Hill in 2001 so her children could have a better place to grow up. She became a citizen seven years later. Bekolo said her 6-year-old daughter Hannah is sad but tries to keep the family in good spirits. “She kept telling me, ‘Don’t cry. I will help them. I will send them my food and my clothes.’” Serious infrastructure damage has all but severed the lines of communication between Haiti’s capital city and the United States.

State considering alcohol reforms Liquor prices could go up with privatization of sales By Isabella Cochrane Staff Writer

After controlling alcohol sales for 73 years, the state is considering dramatic reforms, one of which would take ownership of liquor stores out of state hands. The discovery of controversial practices by several local Alcoholic Beverage Control boards around the state — branches of the state agency that controls all aspects of alcohol sales and production — has led Gov. Bev Perdue and other state officials to review the liquor retail system. Members of the New Hanover County board resigned after receiving criticism for high salaries, and the Mecklenburg County board was accused of misusing state money in late 2009 when a liquor company paid for a private party. The ABC commission passed an ethics policy Wednesday in response to those members’ actions. The policy puts tighter restrictions on board members’ expenses. In addition to the ethics policy, the commission is also discussing several reform options. These include more state and local regulation, as well as the privatization of sales. That could significantly change the operations, costs and sale of alcohol, if implemented. A study released by the N.C. General Assembly in December 2008 suggested that the state’s ABC system wasn’t ready for the 21st century because it lacked a clear mission and oversight. Dan Sykes, general manager of the Orange County ABC board, wrote in an e-mail that privatization would create the opportunity for a “liquor superstore” to open. He also said it would increase the number of retail outlets selling alcohol because it would become easier to own a liquor store, putting the state under more pressure to deal with alcohol abuse and other negative consequences of higher alcohol consumption. Pryor Gibson, ABC committee vice chairman for the N.C. General Assembly, said the biggest problem with the current system is that it is extremely large, with more than 161 local boards that operate 411 liquor stores. The state is unable to cater to the needs of all the local boards, he said.

N.C. detectives ﬁnd pot in buried bus

From staff and wire reports

etectives in Kinston seized 68 marijuana plants worth about $40,000 from a school bus buried eight feet underground beneath a tool shed in the backyard of a rural Lenoir County home. Narcotics officers recently purchased several pounds of the marijuana in an undercover operation. They traced it back to the property, where a drug dog searching the property fell through a trapdoor to reveal the underground pot lair within a full-length bus. Three people were arrested. Police had been searching for the drugs’ source for about three years with the aid of helicopters. Each of the plants taken was about four feet tall and weighed 35 pounds. NOTED. Whale sperm, pickles and the pain reliever codeine will receive a preferential exchange rate in Venezuela under a new currency structure created by President Hugo Chavez. Importers of those and other “essential” items will pay 2.6 bolivars per dollar, while the “non-essential” item rate is 4.3 bolivars per dollar.

Hokies gobble up Tar Heels Keune

ﬁles, drops lawsuit

Women drop first ACC road match By Louie Horvath

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL UNC BLACKSBURG, VA – After the first half, the North Carolina’s Virginia Tech

senior Writer

women’s basketball team could have counted itself lucky to only be losing by four to Virginia Tech. In the second half, the Tar Heels had no such luck. UNC found itself on the short end of a 20-6 run to start the second half and never recovered, eventually losing 79-64. “I substituted five-at-a-time and everything else trying to get something going and find something that would make a difference out there,” coach Sylvia Hatchell said. “That’s part of the problem. I’m playing all these kids to see who’s going to step up.” UNC, laden with nine freshmen and sophomores, did not know how to respond to such a run, and for the rest of the game sat about 15 points behind the Hokies. “We shot terrible,” Hatchell said. “We took a lot of shots, we rebounded well, but a lot of those were the missed shots.” For the entire game, UNC could not put the ball in the basket. Even on free throws, the Tar Heels shot an uncharacteristic 12-24. The team finished the game 24-72 from the field. On the offensive end, the Tar Heels grabbed 29 rebounds, but even though UNC dominated the

The missed shots gave North Carolina no opportunities to set up their press, and its halfcourt defense struggled because of it. “Our defense wasn’t very good, and some of that is because we weren’t scoring,” Hatchell said. “When you score, you play better defense.” The Tar Heels worked from behind for virtually the entire night. While they were only trailing by four at halftime, the game only saw one tie and three lead changes. They also lost focus at times, as two different Tar Heels turned the ball over immediately after a Hokie score on inbounding violations. The Hokies started two seniors and two juniors, and their experience showed, as they refused to get rattled when UNC took an early 16-8 lead. Instead, they rattled off an 11-1 run of their own after a Virginia Tech timeout.

UNC's Cetera DeGraffenreid (22) struggled against the Hokies, scoring only five points on 1-11 shooting. She turned the ball over five times. Senior Cetera DeGraffenreid struggled all game, shooting 1-11 from the field, but even more uncharacteristically, she paired three assists with five turnovers. DeGraffenreid struggled to the point where she missed a wideopen, uncontested layup with seconds remaining in the game. Her backcourt mate, Italee Lucas, also could not find the mark, misfiring on 10 of her 13 shots. “I really don’t know (what happened),” Hatchell said. “They are both outstanding players. Cetera’s

1-11 and Italee’s 3-13 — we’re not going to win many games when that happens.” The Tar Heels cut the lead down to 10 with two minutes and 23 seconds left, but a quick four point Virginia Tech burst all but precluded UNC’s comeback attempt. The win marks the Hokies’ first victory over a top-10 ranked opponent since 1998, and their first at home since 1995. Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu.

A student body president candidate has already filed — and withdrawn — a lawsuit against the Board of Elections chairman since election season officially began Tuesday. In a lawsuit filed Tuesday, candidate Nash Keune took Board of Elections Chairman Peter Gillooly to task for announcing a policy later than the deadline stated in the Student Code, which outlines election law. The lawsuit, which was STUDENT withdrawn ELECTIONS Thursday, high2010 lights increasing candidate concern regarding the board’s capability to run an efficient election. Candidate Joe Levin-Manning also expressed frustration Tuesday, at the board’s late decision to alter policy regarding campaign signs. Mo n i q u e Ha r d i n , Ho g a n Medlin, Shruti Shah and Gregory Strompolos are also running for student body president. The complaint centered on a policy regarding “dormstorming,” an informal term for solicitation of support inside residence halls. Candidates for student body president and Carolina Athletic Association president must gather 1,000 signatures by 5 p.m. Tuesday to get on the ballot. The solicitation policy was set by the Department of Housing and Residential Education in the 1980s, but Board of Elections chairmen have interpreted it differently. Last year, the board prohibited candidates from dormstorming during the one-week petition period. But at Tuesday’s mandatory candidate meeting, Gillooly announced that the housing department will allow limited dormstorming for the entire election season. Keune’s lawsuit pointed to a Student Code mandate that the Board of Elections must inform candidates of any residence hall regulations no later than the last day of classes of the fall semester. Gillooly posted the policy Jan. 11. “I really don’t see all the damage they’re claiming,” Gillooly said. “This has been the policy for years now. It hasn’t changed.” Gillooly added he did not recall what the policy was last year. Christopher Jones, Keune’s chief of staff, said he thinks Gillooly acted “completely improperly” and should have announced the policy earlier. Keune dropped the suit when he learned the policy was determined by the housing department, which is outside of the Student Supreme Court’s jurisdiction. Stephen Estes, Keune’s campaign manager, said they dropped the lawsuit because the court’s ultimate decision would have come too late to have much impact on the election. Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.

Ackland showcases two contemporary artists too fragile to travel. To allow more people to see the works, Lawrence translated the originals into a series of 22 silk screen prints produced in limited quantity. The exhibit will also be paired with several public performances in the next few months, Allmendinger said. “The story is still really an interesting one,” she said of Brown’s controversial history. “I think it’s going to raise some important questions that are meaningful whether you are studying it for history, for 20th century art history or thinking about larger kinds of moral and ethical issues.”

Felrath Hines In the next room, viewers can peruse Hines’ exploration of the relationship between colors and forms, in paintings ranging from layers of vibrant hues to subtly contrasting shades. “Ultimately it’s a show about color balance,” said Emily Kass, director of the Ackland and curator of the exhibit. She said Hines’ work often

explores ideas about space and optical illusions. Hines was an art conservator by profession, and his time studying others’ works is obvious from his paintings, Kass said. In many of his paintings, he plays with the intersections of different colors, drawing a slim line in pencil or including a sliver of white. “Much of the fun of looking at these paintings is to really examine how he made the transitions between colors,” Kass said. Early last year, Hines’ widow, Dorothy Fisher, donated some of his works to museums that had supported Hines during his lifetime. The Ackland was one such museum. This display includes the last painting he completed, “Aquatic Adventures.” The exhibit is a collaboration between the Ackland, the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University and North Carolina Central University’s Art Museum. It will rotate through the three museums.

National and World News International aid Obama wants to ﬂowing into Haiti tax largest ﬁrms PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, and MEXICO CITY (MCT)— Promised emergency aid from abroad began flowing into Haiti’s earthquake-ravaged capital Thursday as residents awoke for a second morning to a battered landscape of toppled buildings and legions of dead and injured, with many people still unaccounted for in the debris. An Air China flight landed in Port-au-Prince before daybreak, ferrying a Chinese search-andrescue team, medical personnel and tons of food and medicine, the Associated Press reported. Three French planes brought in supplies and a mobile hospital, the news agency reported, and British relief workers arrived next door in the Dominican Republic, an important relay point for the wave of assistance that the world pledged in the wake of Tuesday’s magnitude 7.0 earthquake.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) — Vowing to recover “every single dime the American people are owed,” President Barack Obama proposed on Thursday a new tax on the nation’s largest financial institutions to recover projected losses from the government’s bailouts. “We want our money back, and we’re going to get it,” Obama said in a short White House speech. “If these companies are in good enough shape to afford massive bonuses, they surely are in good enough shape to afford to pay back every penny to taxpayers.” Obama’s tough talk comes amid public anger about big profits and large bonuses at major financial firms as Wall Street — with the help of taxpayer money — has returned to robust fiscal health while much of the nation struggles to recover.

Bombings strike holy city in Iraq NAJAF, Iraq (MCT) — Three bombs exploded in quick succession after sunset Thursday in the southern holy city of Najaf, killing up to 25 people and wounding scores of others, Iraqi Interior Ministry officials said. The blasts occurred in a crowded open-air fish and vegetable market near the landmark Imam Ali shrine, a popular pilgrimage destination for Shiite Muslims from around the world. The bombings shattered a yearlong lull in violence in Najaf that had allowed the religious tourism industry to flourish, with new hotels and restaurants packed most nights with pilgrims mostly from neighboring Iran. No firm death toll could be confirmed as of late Thursday. Police and medical workers offered figures compiled by different agencies.

The Daily Tar Heel

Point guard struggles in loss By Mark THompson Assistant Sports Editor

BLACKSBURG, VA — With 11 minutes left against Virginia Tech, UNC’s Cetera Degraffenreid led a two-on-three break and attempted a layup that was stuffed by two defenders. DeGraffenreid was still on the floor when UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell responded to the play with her arms outstretched and yelled, “Come on.” It was just that kind of night. “I’ve never seen Cetera and Italee (Lucas) play like they did tonight,” Hatchell said. “We were throwing the ball up in the bleachers and everything else.” DeGraffenreid, who is second on the team in scoring behind Lucas, was shut down in every facet of her game. The junior guard has averaged a 1.6 assist-to-turnover ratio this season, but against the Hokies, she only garnered a 0.6 ratio. “They didn’t have to play a lot of defense because we came down and threw the ball away,” Hatchell said. “Sometimes we’d throw it to

them.” DeGraffenreid finished the game a scanty 1-11 from the floor and totaled 5 points. Throughout the game, the majority of her shots were wellcontested, and when they weren’t, they still weren’t falling. DeGraffenreid, an 81 percent free throw shooter, struggled from the line as well, making just three of six. After her last missed free throw, DeGraffenreid stomped her feet in a clear show of frustration. Virginia Tech coach Be th Dunkenberger said the Hokies had studied a lot of film in preparation and knew they would have to stop the Tar Heels’ transition game. DeGraffenreid and the Tar Heels thrive on fast break opportunities, but they rarely had a fast break with numbers or managed to find an uncontested layup. “(DeGraffenreid) is one of the fastest players in the country, and she is one of the best in transition, but the majority of her points are layups and free throws,” Dunkenberger said. “If you take

PARKING

those two looks away, she is just like everybody else.” DeGraffenreid’s performance was a snapshot of her team’s. UNC had almost three times as many turnovers as it had assists. Virginia Tech junior Nikki Davis said the key was slowing the game down so as to not allow UNC to run its transition offense. “We went over two or three of (UNC’s) halfcourt plays, but other than that, we knew we needed to get back in transition and slow them down,” Davis said. “That’s where they score more than half of their points.” But regardless of game plans, UNC lacked leadership against the Hokies, and that’s an area where DeGraffenreid is usually on top of things. “We are really a lot of young kids out there that are trying to learn, but Italee and Cetera have got to lead the way,” Hatchell said. “When those two play like that, it’s going to be hard for us to win.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu.

posed of faculty, administrators, a trustee and students. Shelton Earp, search committee chairman, said approximately 70 candidates applied for the position. The University paid $72,800, plus expenses, in non-state funds to the search firm R. William Funk & Associates to facilitate the search process. The candidates will visit Chapel Hill between Jan. 25 and Feb. 5 to interview with the search committee and hold public lectures. Earp said he thinks Chancellor Holden Thorp will make his hiring decision shortly thereafter. “This is very important to the chancellor,” Earp said. “This is his partner.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.

“Trying to figure out what is best for each of those systems is the biggest headache we have,” Gibson said. He also said there are clearly issues that need to be resolved in the current system, but he said he does not think privatization will resolve them. “Probably the best way to administratively apply those differences across the spectrum would be to allow competent local control with oversight,” Gibson said. Mark Creech, the executive director of the Christian Action League of North Carolina, a conservative Christian organization, said a privatized option would be a bad choice of reform and a detriment to public health. Creech cited a study conducted by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, which found that the privatization of liquor sales in Canada resulted in a brief spike in prices followed by a leveling. “If you privatize liquor sales, you’re going to do away with the current limited number of stores, and now any Joe Shmoe can open liquor stores. The outlets are going to increase significantly,” Creech said.

In September, Shaun was recognized by a former Tar Heel — an instance as familiar as the words that followed. “You look just like your dad,” Vince Carter told him. Shaun, a lanky 6-foot-4 guard, can appreciate being told he looks like his father. And that he will never have to experience what that meant for his father in the ’60s. “Now I appreciate what he’s been through,” Shaun said. “What I don’t have to go through.”

Announcements in the living room didn’t always run smoothly. If Charlie Scott made a key omission, he was promptly corrected. “Shaun would always be like, ‘From the University of North Carolina,’” his mother said. Now he is playing on the court he used to envision in his living room, fireplace replaced by a sideline. With one more year of eligibility on the J.V. squad, Shaun hopes to try out for varsity his junior year. He is averaging 6.1 points a game but showing vast improvement, said J.V. coach Jerod Haase. On the court, Charlie Scott said Shaun’s jump shot, speed and physique give his pedigree away. But Shaun doesn’t. “He does not try to use his name for anything,” Haase said. “He’s using his own credentials to earn things.” Shaun admitted he doesn’t tell

many people who his father is. That’s because he doesn’t want to carry that banner. He just wants to make the man who has one proud. “He has a legacy he is proud of,” his father said. “He feels a responsibility to live up to the expectations of the legacy, what people believe his father was about.” Shaun understands that a legacy isn’t just composed of numbers. Sometimes that’s the easy part.

“I want to graduate on time, have very good grades and see where I’m headed in life,” Shaun said. “Leave college prepared for the real world.” Still, he continues to work hard, hoping to hear his name called. After all, he has been waiting since he was 3 years old. Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu.

Coming together, we can help Haiti

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR UNC students urged to get involved in Haiti relief

wo nights ago, my heart stopped. Maybe you’re like me — a habitual news reader, constantly refreshing various news sites, Twitter and Facebook. Even my voracious consumption of news had ill prepared me for the Haitian earthquake, for the steady photo stream of children trapped in the rubble and reports of United Nations buildings completely obliterated. Unthinkable were mortality statistics that ranged from 30,000 to 100,000. I panicked when I saw the first article and quickly clicked the tiny X on the top-right corner of my browser. Extended Disaster Relief (EDR) was created in 2005, in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, by a passionate group of UNC students who believed that communities affected by natural disasters deserve short-term and sustainable disaster relief efforts that are efficient and effective. “It’s not if, it’s when” is something we say a lot in Extended Disaster Relief, and no one expects the “when” to occur during the first week of the semester. Yes, my initial response was panic, and a deep sadness, but like many here at Carolina, it quickly turned to action. And not individual action — the kind of community action and ideasharing that has become an integral part of my experience as a student here at UNC. As a committee that is a part of the Campus Y, Extended Disaster Relief is lucky to be connected to a community of committees and students who are also engaged in social justice. In 2005, EDR was one of many on-campus organizations seeking campus resources and organizing events to support relief efforts in the Gulf Coast. The UNC response to Hurricane Katrina and the communities affected by Katrina was tremendous but there was a lot of on-campus redundancy and stretching of resources. I’m grateful this time around to be a part of the Y community and to also be collaborating with student government, the Gillings School of Public Health and many other student organizations. Can you imagine what UNC’s response to this natural disaster and to the Haitian people could be if even more students and student organizations pooled their resources and talents and collaborated on disaster relief efforts here at UNC? Time and time again, the UNC community has proven that in the face of adversity, we are stronger collectively than we are as individuals. While I was in the Campus Y today, someone showed me a photo that brings this idea home. The image, which was on the CNN homepage for a short time, was of a Haitian man wearing a UNC basketball jersey, carrying an injured woman out of the rubble of the recent earthquake. That image, the sight of someone wearing our colors and our jersey, made me feel all the more connected to the people of Haiti. I also believe that if an individual in a community thousands of miles away can embody the Carolina Way, we can join forces on our campus to do the same. People interested in donating to disaster relief efforts in Haiti through the University may make donations out to the Campus Y, c/o Extended Disaster Relief. Donations may be dropped off at the Campus Y or mailed to: 180A E. Cameron Avenue YMCA Building University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill CB #5115 Chapel Hill, NC 27599-5115

Outside insight External review of Greek, UNC relations will be helpful

oard of Trustees Chairman Bob Winston’s decision to tap Jordan Whichard to examine the UNC administration’s interaction with the Greek system is a necessary move to ensure a sustainable partnership between the two parties. It is clear, following the events of last semester, that the Office of Student Affairs, and specifically the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life, has failed to execute its duties as an adviser to Greek organizations. Whichard, who graduated from UNC in 1979, was president of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity while he was in school. Whichard’s review of the system will bring a fresh perspective to a situation that has grown increasingly amiss during the past year. The University’s punitive and abrasive manner in which it interacts with Greeks has

formed a rift between the two entities, when they should instead have a mutually beneficial relationship. Nearly 20 percent of the student body is Greek, and fraternity and sorority alumni have historically given back to the University in disproportionately high amounts. An external review of the University’s interaction with the Greek system is essential in order to sustain such a positive relationship. Many strides have been made within the Greek system to improve organizations’ selfgovernance and change the perception of fraternity life. Several members of the Greek system have said that they expect to hear that many of their own reforms are working well and should be continued. Interfraternity Council

President Tucker Piner recently echoed his desire for the fraternities to remain independent, self-governing bodies. The UNC administration must find a way to allow Greek organizations to hold themselves accountable while simultaneously providing positive, partnership-oriented oversight of the system. Ideally, the new special advisor of Greek affairs will help to facilitate such a process. A continued partnership between the University and Greek system is in the best interest of both parties. And an administrative review by Whichard, an individual who has been removed from the recent controversies but is familiar with the Greek system, is imperative to ensure a viable, long-term partnership between the University and UNC fraternities and sororities.

Revision gets it right

Cutting back on some ‘retreat rights’ was good step

he new revisions to the leave policy for former UNC-system presidents and chancellors are a welcome and needed change — for now. Benefits and pay given to administrators returning to faculty positions were doled out without accountability and were a bit excessive. These “retreat rights” are often used as recruiting tools. Not only do they compensate for the UNC system’s comparatively low salaries, but they also help system schools remain competitive among peer institutions. Essentially, they are the academic world’s version of corporate bonuses. However, on Jan. 8, the

board officially approved changes to the UNC-system leave policy for school chancellors and presidents. The new, revised policy is a good compromise, at least for the foreseeable future. For instance, leave time was reduced from one year to six months. Retreating chancellors and presidents will now receive a salary comparable to similarly ranked faculty members beginning with the time of leave. And if an individual decides to part with the UNC system after the research leave has expired, they are required to pay back their full salary to the state. It is important to note, how-

ever, that the long-term implications for this policy change are unknown. As the economy recovers and more money is available to the school, the board would be well-advised to revisit the policy to ensure our universities can remain nationally competitive in the area of senior administration, while still holding retreating administrators accountable. We appreciate the hard work and dedication of our administrators. However, as the UNC system grapples with severe budget cuts and tuition hikes, students and the state have had a hard time justifying paying for generous leave benefits.

How we pick them Explaining the editorial board’s endorsement process

s the student body election season heats up, so too does The Daily Tar Heel’s editorial board. The next month is the most important period for the opinion page and a time in which we have the opportunity to make the most impact on the student body. Hundreds of students are heavily invested in these campaigns. Many have spent countless hours working on platforms, developing strategies or campaigning. And the greater student body, even though they might not be intimately involved in the election process, will be directly affected by the outcome of these races — from basketball ticket policies to the location of senior bar nights. Therefore, as in years past, the DTH’s editorial board will be endorsing candidates for Residence Hall Association president, senior class officers,

Harrison Jobe Opinion Editor

E-mail: harrisonjobe@gmail.com

Carolina Athletic Association president and student body president. These endorsements will run on the opinion page during the last week of campaigning, ending with our student body president selection on election day. We will not be running any letters to the editor endorsing any particular student for any office. Giving one candidate more publicity than another would not be fair. We will also serve as the public watchdog for these candida-

cies, ensuring that they follow election law as outlined in the Student Code and the Board of Elections, which is charged with enforcing these election laws. All candidates will receive a questionnaire from the editorial board to be returned for our endorsement process. The questionnaire will be publicly posted, and each candidate’s answers will be posted to the DTH’s Web site. All candidates will also be interviewed by the editorial board. Candidates for RHA president, senior class officers and CAA president will receive 30-minute interviews. Student body president candidates will receive one-hour interviews. Candidates are allowed to bring one member of their campaign, but he or she will not be permitted to participate in the interview. We look forward to participating in this year’s election.

TO THE EDITOR: Today at 5 p.m. in the Campus Y, please join a coordinated effort of the UNC campus community for a united response to the tragic earthquake that has struck Haiti. This monumental disaster requires cooperation among us all and a coalition of student leaders is working to coordinate UNC’s efforts for donations. Ever yone is welcome to attend this meeting in the Y and learn more about how to get involved. Now is our time as students to lead the University’s united relief effort.

Cartoon about graduation was crass and tasteless TO THE EDITOR: I don’t usually pick up The Daily Tar Heel because the level of vulgarity and obscenity only seems to get worse every time I do. That is why I sorely regretted viewing the paper on Jan. 13 in which Angela Tchou’s cartoon on academic advising blatantly reflected my preexisting sentiments toward our school paper. The caption on the article read, “Who do I have to blow around here to graduate?” This was totally inappropriate and unnecessary in addition to being entirely humorless. Academic advising isn’t the best for undergrads, this is true, but to portray student desperation for decent advising in such an indecent way not only reflects poorly on Tchou’s sense of humor, but on the University and its students. I am embarrassed and ashamed for her and for the DTH for printing such an obscene cartoon, and if people don’t object, it will become commonplace. What has happened to your sense of editorial discretion, DTH? Can we preserve at least a little dignity please? Yelena Pecheny Senior Public Health

Quick Hit that lampooned UNC’s value missed point TO THE EDITOR: Is Eeyore the new executive editor of The Daily Tar Heel? Our school gets ranked No. 1 in the nation for “best value in public colleges,” yet you still complain about the cost and quality of the education. I don’t see the DTH reporting about the regular season losses after we won the 2009 NCAA men’s basketball championship. Why do it for this? When I graduate in 2012, my three degrees from UNC will cost less than one at many higher-priced, lesser-quality and lower-ranked institutions. I recognize that there will always be room to improve, but take a second to celebrate the recognition before you return to bashing our fine school.

Kvetching board

kvetch: v.1 (Yiddish) to complain Dear hipsters: Why do you pay so much money to look poor? To the P2P guy who was so drunk that he started hitting on himself in the mirror: Enough said. @UNCBasketballPlayers: A little less tweeting, a little more practice. DTH weather forecasters: 41 degrees and 21 degrees are well below “average,” much like your readership. My SOCI 101 class started with a reading about how terrible SOCI 101 classes are. This won’t end well. To the man-child next to me in the black loafers and white high socks on your Game Boy: You don’t have to pound the wall every time Pikachu dies. This no-texting-while-driving thing is really cramping my style. At least I can still pick my nose and drive. Dear Lenoir: After successfully sneaking into you for the first time this semester, all I want to do is sneak back out. To the person who left the unopened BSkis bag on the P2P Sunday evening: Thank you. You provided three friends some good midnight snacking. To the girl running up the down escalator in Lenoir: I’m sure the cookie was worth it. In response to the e-mail sent to students about updating registration info: Why would I need to update my ethnicity? Dear mystery hot girl from CHEM 102: You are so beautiful and so very, very stupid. To the worker at Top of Lenoir who pulled out a fat stack of cash and started counting it: Why are you still working there? Dear girl in the Union shamelessly eavesdropping on our conversation about kvetches: Congratulations, you’re in one. To the random guy in the cafeteria who aimed and pretended to shoot me with his banana: Thank you. I feel loved. Should I play dead now? To the beautiful, smart girl on the fourth floor of Davis: You are perfect. But please, stop eating Lunchables. Send your one-to-two sentence entries to dthedit@gmail.com, subject line ‘kvetch.’
