Latinos to get help banking Durham credit union will open branch in Carrboro By Rebecca putterman senior writer

Tania Herrera lives from paycheck to paycheck. She came to the U.S. from Mexico five years ago. She has a steady job, and her English is spoken almost without an accent. Yet Herrera, who sells cell phones and mobile plans at Don Jose Tienda Mexicana in Carrboro, is uncomfortable using a bank. She has no credit, no personal checks and no savings. This hand-to-mouth existence is what the Durhambased Latino Community Credit Union will try to improve once a new branch is opened in Carrboro. It hopes to make its mark by providing bilingual service, lower interest rates and fees and financial workshops for immigrants who traditionally have not used banks either in the U.S. or in their home countries. Founded in Durham in 2000, the credit union serves about 50,000 members statewide in eight branches. It plans to open in Carrboro by mid-2010. Several members of the Durham branch already commute there from Carrboro, said Erika Bell, the credit union’s vice president of strategy and services. According to a 2008 U.S. Census Bureau report, 6.3 percent of Orange County’s population is of Latino origin. Carrboro was listed with the county’s highest Latino population at 12.3 percent. “We know that there are lots more people in that area that do need those services,” Bell said. It is not part of the culture to use banks in many Latin American countries, said Pilar Rocha-Goldberg, director of El Centro Hispano, an advocacy group in Durham that partners with the credit union. “In our countries we don’t have good experiences with our banks,” Rocha-Goldberg, who is from Colombia, said. “People keep their money in their houses. When they come here, they continue to do that. “They don’t really have the culture of the account or the credit.” She said the credit union is especially useful because it teaches members how to properly manage accounts and credit. For people like Herrera who don’t have large sums to put away, the credit union offers savings accounts with a minimum balance of $10 and no opening fee and a free checking account without a minimum balance.

McKinney Brown, left, and Ariel Eure make a call back to the SafeWalk dispatcher after walking Jared Nobles from Davis Library to Joyner Residence Hall. The SafeWalk program runs from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. each Sunday through Thursday.

SafeWalk program expanding with bikes BY emily banks staff writer

As the SafeWalk program gains momentum, program leaders are looking to cover more ground. The 16 students involved in the program will start riding bicycles instead of walking, which could increase their speed and allow them to access more places. Leaders of the program are also considering expanding it to reach more off-campus locations. The program already has two bicycles and is working on getting more. Student Body Secretary Jonathan Tugman said he is looking for ways to get them at a discounted price. Organized by the executive branch of student government, the program provides students with a pair of trained SafeWalkers upon request from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. Sunday through Thursday. It is designed to improve campus safety by preventing students from walking alone at night. The SafeWalkers received basic safety training from the UNC Department of Public Safety. Tugman said they are trained to respond to emergencies by calling the police. “We don’t want them to be first responders,” he said. “If there’s a scene, we want them running away from the scene and taking the people they’re walking with them.” The program is currently limited to

Haiti relief efforts to be coordinated Assistant University Editor

A natural disaster born in the Bahamas had ravaged a city, killing or displacing many and sparking a rash of looting and violence. The year was 2005. The city of New Orleans was saturated with Hurricane Katrina’s floodwaters. And UNC responded with an effort mired in redundancy, as students replicated each other’s efforts with small, ineffective meetings which frequently overlapped. When the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince was leveled last Tuesday by a devastating, magnitude-7.0 earthquake, representa-

Safety committee co-chairwoman Ashley Klein said she is reluctant to consider expanding the distance the program covers. “We want to keep it small and successful,” she said. Klein said the program is mainly intended to help students get to and from the libraries at night. There are no plans for SafeWalkers to begin accompanying intoxicated students. “We’re allowed to stay with drunk people and call the P2P for them but not walk them home,” SafeWalker Ariel Eure said. “It’s a liability issue. We don’t want anything to happen that would look bad for the program.” But Eure said that doesn’t prevent intoxicated students from calling in. “I’ve gotten people saying, ‘Hey, if I go to this party and get really drunk, will you come and walk me home?’ And I have to say, ‘No.’” Currently, SafeWalkers are not permitted to cross Franklin Street, but that could change as the program grows. Tugman said Franklin Street was cho-

Calvin Lewis Jr., program manager, said they are considering including offcampus locations. Even though SafeWalk is still developing, Lewis said he thinks the program is off to a promising start. “We’ve gotten a pretty good amount of calls. There was a big change between the first and second weeks,” he said. Tugman said SafeWalk has been getting between five and seven calls most nights. Lewis said the majority of calls come from students who live on South Campus, and the busiest time for them is when Davis Library closes at midnight.

Recently divorced? Request gifts!

From staff and wire reports

t isn’t easy to find that perfect gift for a recently divorced friend. Luckily, a British department store is taking away some of that pressure with a suggested gift list for those who have severed their matrimonial ties. “A divorce means that one partner will be leaving the marital home and therefore be left without any essentials in their new house,” Debenhams head of retail service, Peter Moore, said in a statement. “Divorcing can be an expensive time, and registering for a divorce gift list means that family and friends can help the newly separated begin their new life.” Cookware, bed linens, towels, microwaves and shirts that don’t require ironing are a few of the suggested products. NOTED. The mysterious person who left roses and a bottle of cognac every year at Edgar Allen Poe’s grave in Baltimore did not show up on the author’s birthday Tuesday. The unknown person disappointed fans who gathered to watch the act, which has occurred between midnight and 5:30 a.m. each year since 1949. Poe died Jan. 19, 1849 of unknown causes.

QUOTED. “She isn’t really a big woman, but she stuck to it and got it in the end, although it took everything out of her.” — Alan Penfold, the husband of Sheila Penfold, a 56-year-old British woman who captured a 214-pound catfish while vacationing in Spain. Penfold also impressed herself and her family with the catch because she is legally blind.

Three Duke football players arrested for firing shots Three freshmen at Duke University were dismissed from the Duke football team after being arrested early Sunday morning. One or more shots were reported to be fired into the air from a vehicle parked at a residence hall on the Durham campus. John Drew, 18, Kyle Griswould, 18, and Brandon Putnam, 19, are each charged with felonious possession and discharge of a weapon. They will be barred from campus pending the resolution of their charges. A fourth person, who is not a student, is also under investigation. Police are investigating the suspects’ motives, but university officials said they considered the arrests an isolated incident. — From staff and wire reports.

The computer-based Graduate Record Examinations will change to allow students to move freely through the exam by skipping ahead or returning to questions. Students will also have the ability to mark the questions they wish to return to. There will also be a new scoring scale, and electronic calculators will be provided for the math section. Changes to the content of the GRE include new question types and formats to the verbal and quantitative sections, including the removal of questions with analogies. For example, there will be text completion questions that will require students to fill in a series of blanks within a short paragraph. Some questions will also require numeric entry, asking students to type their answers into a box instead of choosing an answer from multiple-choice options.

Second Walgreens could join Franklin St. By alicia Banks staff writer

The Chapel Hill Town Council will invite the public to discuss tonight whether there is room for two Walgreens on Franklin Street. Walgreens now is seeking to open a second location at 1500 E. Franklin St., between Estes Drive and Elliott Road. The pharmacy chain opened its first Franklin Street location in December. The proposal to build the new store has to go through a public hearing because the land requires a special permit. The Cary-based company backing the development project, The Design Response, has been working on the 1500 E. Franklin project for three years and will represent Walgreens at the meeting. Rob Wilson, who is directing the project with The Design Response, hopes that if the store is approved, construction can begin during the late summer or fall of this year. Wilson has lived in Chapel Hill for 14 years. “We try to pay close attention to

the town’s guidelines,” Wilson said. “It is a national retailer that is listening to what’s important for the community.” Wilson said the store will appeal to Chapel Hill through unique architecture and energy efficiency. It would use monitors on the roof to let sunlight come in, a first for Walgreens. Lisa Platania, the store manager for the newly opened Walgreens on Franklin Street, said she is excited about a new store and hopes businesses would be as supportive of a second location as they have been of the downtown Walgreens’ opening. Walgreens’ opening across from decades-old Sutton’s Drug Store on Franklin Street sparked worry about its survival, but Platania said the stores have worked well together. “We compliment each other on

products that one of us doesn’t have,” she said. James McCleary, an employee of The Shrunken Head Boutique souvenir shop, said he welcomes another Walgreens. But UNC graduate Skylar Gudasz said she feels that another Walgreens is unnecessary. Sutton’s Drug Store and CVS Pharmacy in Carrboro are already in the area, she said.

Walgreens, which opened a location on Franklin Street in December, is now seeking to open a second location on Franklin Street closer to Estes Drive. “Big franchises completely destroy the individuality of a town,” she said, adding that she would like to see more locally owned businesses that cater just to students. John Woodard, a UNC graduate and pharmacist at Sutton’s for 32 years, said he is not worried

about competition from another Walgreens. “We survived Rite Aid, CVS and Kerr Drugs. I imagine we’ll survive this as well.” Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.

NEW YORK (MCT) — A study of eight years of federal terrorism prosecutions found that prosecutors have been able to win convictions nearly 90 percent of the time, an indication that neither the use of classified information nor issues of constitutional rights have caused “insurmountable obstacles” in the cases. In a review of 828 cases filed in federal courts from 2001 through 2009, the Center on Law and Security at New York University Law School said the results showed that “federal courts are capable of trying alleged terrorists and securing high rates of conviction.”

NEW DELHI (MCT) — Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates, moving to deepen U.S. ties to India as a key partner in a turbulent region, pushed Tuesday for expanded cooperation with New Delhi on a range of issues, from military technology to cybersecurity. Arriving for a two-day visit, Gates met with top Indian leaders, including Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and S.M. Krishna, the external affairs minister. The trip comes after Singh traveled to Washington in November in the first formal state visit hosted by President Barack Obama.

Sunday — Fitchburg, Gardner and Peabody — gave Brown a comfortable lead in each. Brown, 50, is trying to win the seat that Sen. Edward Kennedy held for 47 years before his death in August. Coakley has stumbled, however, as Brown has surged. Even supporters complain that Coakley’s campaign has been lackluster. If he’s elected, Brown would become the 41st Republican Senate vote, just enough to empower Republicans to block any legislation indefinitely in the Senate.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) — U.S. officials believe that as many as three dozen Americans who converted to Islam while in prison in the United States have traveled to Yemen over the past year, possibly to be trained by al-Qaida, according to a Senate report. The arrivals have alarmed U.S. counterterrorism officials, who believe that al-Qaida in Yemen has expanded its recruitment efforts “to attract nontraditional followers” capable of carrying out more ambitious operations. “As many as 36 American exconvicts arrived in Yemen in the past year, ostensibly to study Arabic,” the document said.

Jared Nobles, who used Safe Walk for the first time Monday night, said he heard about it from an announcement in Davis Library, which are made periodically. The program uses a system called Rave Guardian, which requires SafeWalkers to call in to a monitoring system with an identification number, location, destination and estimated time of arrival. If the SafeWalker does not deactivate the timer by the expected time, campus police are notified immediately. The Rave Guardian program can be used from any cell phone, with or without the SafeWalkers. To request a SafeWalk, students provide their information, location and time they want to be picked up through a form on the program’s Web site or by calling in to SafeWalk. “It’s easier than ordering a pizza,” safety committee co-chairman Amos Espeland said.

That’s compared with Bank of America’s $25 opening fee. The credit union charges $3 to transfer money to Mexico, while Western Union charges up to $25. The commercial banks also might ask for residency status on a case-by-case basis, while the credit union only asks for an individual tax identification number. The credit union doesn’t offer many investment services, however. Although commercial banks have moved to cater to the state’s growing Latino population, the recession led many Latinos to return home, shrinking their banking influence, said Paul Stock, executive vice president of the N.C. Banker’s Association. Still, Latino-oriented banks like Nuestro Banco in Raleigh exist, and other banks are trying to attract an immigrant market share. “Banking, like most retail businesses, has clearly identified the priority of serving the immigrant population, and particularly because of its size the Hispanic population,” Stock said, adding that some N.C.

banks have bilingual tellers. While Herrera speaks some English, she said she has trouble with the vocabulary and waits in a long line with everyone else for most banks’ one bilingual teller. “I need something smaller where there’s more communication

between the bank and its customers,” Herrera said. If she had an account at the credit union, she said, she would be more likely to save her money. Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.

tives from the Carolina Center for Public Service, Campus Y, student government and the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health examined the University’s history to craft a more effective response. “There is so much energy around that it can almost be detrimental to the effort,” said Student Body Vice President David Bevevino. To ge t h e r, r e p r e s e n t at i v e s from each group diagnosed what plagued previous relief efforts — miscommunication. “I don’t think anyone in this country was ready for the magnitude of devastation,” said senior Erin Marubashi, the Campus Y copresident, referring to Hurricane Katrina. “There were so many groups and a lot of efforts but not enough communication. And resources, in terms of time, energy and money, were spread too thin.” To avoid repeating past errors, the Campus Y has sought to centralize the effort to help Haiti, encouraging groups across campus to register their fundraising events online at unc.edu/haiti. “If groups can better publicize, they won’t replicate each other, and groups won’t have meetings at the same time on the same night,” Marubashi said. “I think open communication is the best way we can be on the same page.” Their strategy has already produced tangible results. After an interest meeting Friday at the Campus Y, Marubashi said studentled fundraising efforts — including a canning drive during the men’s basketball game against Georgia Tech on Saturday — collected more than $8,000 this past weekend. “ They were all over,” said Executive Associate Provost Ron Strauss, the administration’s liaison to the student relief drive, referring to student volunteers at

Junior Worthiyd Yem signs up for a relief group Tuesday night in Manning Hall. Students attended a meeting to become involved with Haiti efforts. Saturday’s game. “It was hard to miss an opportunity to donate.” Strauss added that the administration looked to the Campus Y as the University’s natural leader for the “UNC One Effort: Haiti” initiative not only because the group is service-oriented but also because the University is legally incapable of making donations to relief organizations. The administration’s primary contribution came through the Carolina Center for Public Service, which constructed the Web site where students can find and register events, make monetary contributions and educate themselves about the natural disaster, which Haitian officials fear to have caused more than 100,000 deaths. Along with opening channels of communication, the Campus Y has emphasized educating students about relief organizations. At the interest meeting Friday, Marubashi pinpointed three organizations — Doctors Without Borders, Partners in Health and Architecture for Humanity — as the three groups that would receive donations from the Campus Y. Marubashi said the Campus Y selected the three for their reputations for reliability. “It is awful that there are people that take advantage of people wanting to be generous,” she said. Student groups are collecting funds through methods ranging from asking for donations at

basketball games to a PID drive which allows students to make donations from their UNC expense accounts. Today, Nourish International is donating all proceeds from its weekly Hunger Lunch in the Pit to Partners in Health, an organization which has operated in Haiti for 20 years, providing health care to the impoverished. And on Thursday, Ben & Jerry’s on Franklin Street is donating 20 percent of all proceeds between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. to the Campus Y. Sophomore Lola Bajomo, who recently created the Facebook group Students Supporting Haiti, said T-shirts and blue bracelets with the inscription “Heels for Haiti” will also be sold for fundraising. Rather than donating supplies such as medicine, canned food and clothing to the country, the Campus Y is encouraging all groups taking part in the “UNC One Effort: Haiti” initiative to make monetary donations to relief organizations. “One of the problems right now with getting supplies to Haiti is it’s expensive,” Marubashi said. “A lot of the problem is that supplies aren’t getting to people who need them. That’s why we are pushing to raise money for organizations on the ground, because they know what they need.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.

Davis’ status uncertain for tonight By David Reynolds sports Editor

brandon staton at the buzzer

Enjoy season’s highs, lows B

leeding Carolina Blue is an interesting phenomenon. Every game, more than 20,000 “coaches” get tickets to the Dean E. Smith Center, but only four are getting paid to show up. But when the Tar Heels aren’t clicking on all cylinders, and I mean humming like a well-oiled machine, it’s the former that seem to have all the answers. It’s too bad the real coaches can’t figure that out. During halftime of North Carolina’s 78-64 defeat of Virginia Tech on Jan. 10, the men’s bathroom in particular was teeming with inside information. My visit there made it difficult to discern whether the Tar Heels were down by four or if Roy Williams had just sold all his ties to the devil. “I don’t understand why you’ve got all those scholarship players on the bench,” one man asked the wall, as if it were Williams. When it didn’t answer, I suppose he thought I was one of its assistants. “Do you understand it?” he asked me, reiterating his bewildered regard for the rotations used to that point. I smiled, shook my head, and high-tailed it out of there without so much as drying my hands. That guy wasn’t the only one complaining. Relax, people. Any coach will tell you that everybody loves a winner. UNC fans are no different. There’s nothing wrong with that. The program is on the brink of its 2,000th win. I think it’s safe to say that winning is the way that North Carolina basketball intends to go about doing things. But here’s some breaking news: These guys ain’t parting the Red Sea anytime soon. And the Tar Heels’ two losses since beating the Hokies — 83-64 at Clemson and 73-71 vs. Georgia Tech — weren’t because they suck. Yes, Roy does know what he’s doing. And for goodness’ sake, UNC didn’t lose because the referee got his license from Wal-Mart. The 19-point margin of defeat and the 26 turnovers committed against the Tigers were the worst during Williams’ tenure as head coach. I’m aware of the numbers. But the bottom line is that winning isn’t easy. If it was, no one would care. It’s like playing Madden on beginner. At some point, doesn’t winning 84-0 get old? The lopsided wins, the free biscuits, those are nice. But the most memorable contests are just that — contests. They’re the games that make you rub your eyes, threaten a complete stranger wearing a whistle with bodily harm from Row RR or maybe make you pray to some god you don’t even believe in. Just try to look at the big picture. A little excitement won’t hurt you. Just keep that in mind, especially in the bathroom. You never know who’s in there. Contact Brandon Staton at bkstaton@email.unc.edu.

North Carolina coach Roy Williams didn’t have to think very long when asked to summarize his team’s season with one adjective. Williams did pause for a few seconds before choosing, but only to finish swallowing a sip of a beverage rather than to think about syntax. “For me, probably ‘frustrating,’” Williams said as he set down his cup in a news conference Tuesday. With Ed Davis’ status in doubt for tonight’s game against Wake Forest, Williams soon could be even more discouraged by yet another problem. Davis hurt his left ankle twice Saturday against Georgia Tech, spraining it in the first half and injuring it further after getting it taped up at halftime. Williams said Davis’ movements have been “limited” in practice and that if his ankle’s condition doesn’t improve soon, he won’t see the court against the Demon Deacons. “If Ed ends up limited tomorrow, he probably won’t play at all,” Williams said. “I mean, just, why? We have a six-day break after that.” UNC’s next game after Wake Forest doesn’t come until a date with N.C. State on Jan. 26. Davis is averaging 14.7 points and 9.8 rebounds per game this season. He leads the Tar Heels in rebounding and trails only senior Deon Thompson in scoring. If Davis indeed can’t go, his name will be added to a lengthy list of UNC players who have missed games due to injury. Tyler Zeller (foot), Marcus Ginyard (foot, ankle), Justin Watts (ankle), Will Graves (ankle) and Dexter Strickland (hamstring) all have missed time this season for the Tar Heels. Williams speculated that he would move Graves into Davis’ forward spot should Davis not play. “I’m always ready to step in wherever,” Graves said. “It might be awkward for a couple of plays, but I can just about play any position by paying attention to what goes on in practice.”

jones from page 3

Jones began his career as an activist by campaigning and later interning with Milk. He was among the first to discover Milk’s body after Milk and the San Francisco mayor, George Moscone, were assassinated in 1978. “I thought, ‘It’s over,’” Jones said, swatting at the tears on his face. He added it wasn’t until that night, when thousands of people carried candles to the steps of City Hall to mourn the death of the mayor and his friend, that Jones felt he could continue to advocate for gay rights. Today, more than 30 years later, Jones has encountered and overcome almost every form of bigotry imaginable — from death threats to being attacked by skinheads — and still champions gay rights. He’s even survived his own battle with AIDS. Throughout the onset of the AIDS epidemic, Jones said he watched in helpless rage as almost all of his friends were ravaged by HIV/AIDS while the government did nothing to curb its the spread of the virus. “I was desperate to find a way

Roy Williams said he might move Will Graves into Ed Davis’ forward spot if Davis cannot play against Wake Forest tonight.

The Lowdown on tonight’s Game Wake Forest vs. No. 24 North Carolina (12-4, 2-2 ACC)

Smith Center, 7 p.m.

(12-6, 1-2 ACC)

HEAD-TO-HEAD Backcourt

Point guard Larry Drew II struggled against Ga. Tech, and Will Graves may have to move into the post if Ed Davis can’t play. Wake Forest’s Ish Smith, meanwhile, should exploit UNC’s perimeter defense. Edge: WF

Frontcourt

If Davis doesn’t go, and even if he ends up playing hurt, UNC will have a tough time containing Wake Forest’s Al-Farouq Aminu. Aminu is the ACC’s top rebounder and fifth-leading scorer. Edge: WF

Bench

Twelve UNC players get regular minutes for Roy Williams, and Dexter Strickland and Leslie McDonald both have shown the ability to score quickly. WFU is deep, but UNC’s bench should contribute more. Edge: UNC

Intangibles

UNC hasn’t lost three games in a row since 2003, and the Tar Heels will have a raucous home crowd behind them as long as they don’t get too far behind early. And after two poor starts, don’t expect a third. Edge: UNC

dth File/Will cooper

Ed Davis sustained an ankle injury in North Carolina’s 73-71 loss to Georgia Tech. He will be a game-time decision for tonight’s match. If Graves does shift into Davis’ position, he will have his hands full trying to keep Wake Forest’s big men off of the glass. Demon Deacons forward Al-Farouq Aminu leads the ACC in rebounding with 11.6 rebounds per game, and center Chas McFarland grabs most of the ones Aminu cannot corral, registering almost eight boards per game himself. In addition to the defensive challenge, the Tar Heels will also be fighting to avoid the slow starts which to break through the stupidity and bigotry,” he said. It wasn’t until the death of his closest friend, Marvin Feldman, that he decided to fight back. He decided to make a quilt and that would memorialize anyone who has died of AIDS. With more than 40,000 panels memorializing more than 91,000 individuals, the NAMES Foundation’s AIDS Memorial quilt is the largest community arts project in the world. “Irrevocably, we are all linked — that was the message of Harvey Milk, and that is the message of Dr. King,” Jones said. Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.

doomed them in losses to Clemson and Ga. Tech. To prevent another flat showing in the first half, Graves said UNC will need a different sort of attitude from the game’s opening tip. “We should be the aggressors,” Graves said. “We should take the second half of the Georgia Tech game and just try to do that for 40 minutes instead of 20.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu.

Online course Texting ban di∞cult to enforce evaluations to be the norm By Joe Mangun Staff Writer

Trial program sees mixed results BY Upasana Kaku Staff Writer

dth File/margaret Cheatham Williams

Texting while driving has been illegal for more than a month, but law enforcement agencies are still struggling with how to enforce the new law. distracted driving. “Joe’s story” is one about a 12-year-old boy who died when a woman who was talking on her phone ran a red light and drove her Hummer into the car that Joe’s mother was driving. The organization also provides services for family members of the victims of distracted driving. But some UNC students admit they are not complying with the

texting ban. “Everyone knows it’s a distraction, but it’s impossible to get rid of something like that. It’s like underage drinking,” said Michael Hamon, a junior English and public policy major. “I’ve almost gotten into accidents before, but I’m not going to stop.” Contact the State & National Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu.

Greenbridge walls, property vandalized Damage estimated at $11,000 by john taylor Staff Writer

An already controversial plot of land has taken another shot this weekend — this time from vandals. Damages to the Greenbridge development totaled about $11,000 after it was spray-painted in several areas Saturday night, including 14 concrete columns, 21 walls, five doors and a fork lift, according to Chapel Hill police reports. Mark Vevle, spokesman for Greenbridge Developments, said the paint was cleaned off during the weekend. “I know it was fixed up pretty fast by our staff and the Chapel Hill police,” Vevle said. He said he didn’t know what the Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu. graffiti depicted or said.

Construction of the two-building, multistory condominium and retail complex began in 2008, adjacent to the Northside neighborhood on Rosemary Street. The development, which will open its doors this spring, has attracted mostly middle-class residents to the historically black and low-income part of town. Since then, Greenbridge has angered some locals and activists who believe the project is an example of gentrification, conforming an area to a middle class taste. Saturday’s vandalism is not the first act of disapproval directed toward Greenbridge. C.J. Cuitti, member of United with the Northside Community Now, said he recalled one tag on

the building last year reading, Greenbridge “Greedbridge is racist.” South Graham Street He said it is still unclear what message vandals were trying to reet send to Greenbridge and the comy St r a m munity Saturday. ose et st R Stre We Vevle said he was not too conklin n a r cerned with the graffiti and had not st F We even visited the site since the tagging was done.

Beginning this fall, students can expect to find all of their course evaluations online, an effort initiated more than 10 years ago. How to get students interested in filling them out is still a question for administrators. The plan was originated in the hope of saving time and money while allowing departments more flexibility in selecting questions and analyzing data. But low participation rates in trials of the system have created questions about how effective an online system would be for evaluating a professor’s performance. “There are a lot of questions that go into developing such a system,” said Jan Yopp, a professor in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication and a member of the committee working to implement the program. UNC worked out a contract last year in time for a pilot program to test the system at the end of the fall semester. Classes in the School of Nursing, Department of Health Policy and Management and the First Year Seminar program were selected to participate in the pilot in order to keep the test small, although other departments expressed interest in participating, said Lynn Williford, assistant provost for institutional research and assessment. Reactions to the pilot were mixed. Of the students in the courses who participated in the pilot program, 46 percent completed evaluations, Williford said. Because it took longer than expected to invite students to complete evaluations online, some professors chose to administer the paper versions of the survey instead. Their classes were still counted in the online total, bringing down the participation rate.

“Really, we had a real range of participation levels,” Williford said. “We had some classes where everyone participated.” The typical response rate for paper evaluations is about 90 percent, Yopp said. A further concern is that the voluntary online evaluations won’t accurately capture student opinion. “The fact is that you’re going to hear from those who really love you and probably those who hate you,” Yopp said. “But you’re not going to hear from the student who thought, ‘That was a pretty good class. I learned what I needed to learn.’ “Faculty want to know what a wide cross section of students think.” The data information company Digital Measures will provide and maintain the software, called Course Response. Unlike paper evaluations, which are completed in class, online evaluations are supposed to be completed outside the classroom. Justin Webb, a junior history major, filled out an online evaluation for a class in the School of Education. “I didn’t think it was that bad,” he said. “But if they are all online, students might not do them because they don’t have to.” The committee struggled with a way to motivate students to complete the evaluations and will continue to debate the problem as the test run continues. One proposal would prevent students from getting a grade unless they at least access the link to the evaluation, regardless of whether they complete it. Another would not allow students to view other results posted online until they completed their evaluations.

More than a month after the ban on texting while driving went into effect, law enforcement officials say they are still struggling to enforce it. T h e C h a p e l H i l l Po l i c e Department does not have a uniform procedure to deal with people violating the texting ban. Officers don’t usually make a note of the violation unless it results in a crash, said Lt. Kevin Gunter. But Gunter said he is hopeful for the long term enforcement of the law. T h e C h a p e l H i l l Po l i c e Department plans to train its officers to catch drivers while they text, Gunter said. “I think it’ll get easier,” he said. The N.C. General Assembly passed the ban this summer in order to decrease the number of accidents caused by distracted driving. According to a study conducted by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute, drivers who text while driving are 23 percent more likely to be in an accident. “Driving is a visual task, and non-driving activities that draw the driver’s eyes away from the roadway, such as texting and dialing, should always be avoided,” the study states. The study also found that texting

while driving is much more dangerous than talking on the cell phone. “While texting on a phone, your level of impairment is the same as being intoxicated,” said Arthur Goodwin, a senior research associate at the UNC Highway Safety Research Center. “There’s no question it’s very difficult to enforce. It’s hard for officers to tell if someone is texting.” Nineteen states have passed bans on texting while driving, and more states are considering similar laws. To support those efforts, the National Safety Council is promoting a new organization, FocusDriven, that advocates cellphone-free driving. The two organizations are promoting laws such as the texting ban to make people aware of the dangers of distracted driving. “We know that younger people tend to be overconfident in their driving skills,” said Deb Trombley, a senior program manager of transportation for the National Safety Council. Although the enforcement of texting bans is proving to be difficult, FocusDriven is pushing for such legislation across the country by putting a human face to the dangers of distracted driving. The organization’s Web site has stories about some of the victims of

Change, religion are often at odds

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Student giving essential to funding the University

n the society we live in, change is a constant. The need to adapt, adjust and reevaluate is ever-present. Organizations that survive are continually broadening their view of the world and expanding their mind to new possibilities. However, there is a large exception: religion. Today, the view of many theists is that to succeed in this changing culture, they must remain unchanged. Any sort of deviation from age-old beliefs is seen as a compromise of faith. Religious groups that broaden their identification with society are scorned as having “watered down” their faith or deviating from the truth. To the contrary of what many may think, this is not a unique problem. During the mid-16th and early 17th centuries, the Catholic Church was faced with the question of heliocentrism. For hundreds of years it had been the Church’s staunch belief that the earth was the stationary center of the universe and that all other celestial bodies orbited around it. But the scientific observations of Nicolaus Copernicus and Galileo Galilei directly contradicted this religion-based belief and caused enormous uproar throughout many world religions, most notably Christianity. Despite the compelling evidence, the Catholic Church condemned the writings of Copernicus and Galilei as heresy and banned any further research. Looking back on this event through the lens of modern day science, the Catholic Church will readily admit that its past rejection of this controversial theory was wrong. What seemed too radical or as a corruption of faith at the time turned out to be the complete opposite. The church now sees its old position as one of arrogance and not in keeping with its own teachings of humility before God’s creation. The same type of struggle exists today in the form of evolution. But beyond the struggles between reconciling religion and science, there exists a messier social aspect. For example, some would argue that a religious group reaching out to the LGBT community is a compromise of their beliefs. But they fail to see the difference between accepting an individual and agreeing with his actions. The religious groups that refuse to welcome those who are living contrary to their ideals reject the basic tenant of their faith. The danger of becoming too accepting, too inclusive is real and the line between acceptance and compromise is often difficult to distinguish. But a religious group defined by authenticity and acceptance of all people as individuals does not have to accept all behaviors. Indeed, many behaviors are rejected because they are perceived as unloving and harmful, such as alcoholism or drug abuse. The Pit preachers provide us with a painful example of what can occur when unbending rules take the place of staying true to the core of one’s faith. By their words and actions, the Pit preachers deny the God they claim to profess. They distort the image of a God of love with hateful rhetoric. Galileo, on the other hand, allowed new facts to enlighten his idea of God instead of his idea of God making him blind to new facts. In the end the risk of compromise will always be outweighed by the rewards of restructuring religious practices around unbiased love.

Pay attention, Tar Heels

Why students should follow campus elections

t’s campaign season again. And to some students, it can seem like the only repercussions are annoying A-frame signs and badgering signature-collectors. But student body elections have consequences, and they give students a chance to impact University policy and campus life by choosing competent officers. The student body president influences not only campus life but the decisions made by University administrators. The SBP sits on the Board of Trustees and is consulted on many major changes at the University. This position also represents the student body outside of the University sphere. Current president Jasmin Jones, for example, is lobbying legisla-

tors to keep money from the $200 state-mandated tuition increase at the University rather than the state’s general fund. The SBP also appoints numerous students to various policy-making positions. The administration has taken on issues such as grade inflation, campus safety and the Homecoming parade. While the SBP influences University policy, the Carolina Athletic Association president has an impact on student ticketing policies. The CAA helped change the basketball ticket policy this year to one ticket per student. The housing department created a new system for picking rooms. The easiest way for students to influence housing

issues is through the Residence Hall Association president. And then there’s Student Congress. It maintains the Student Code, which we all submit to, and distributes about $400,000 of student fees to campus groups. In fall 2008, Congress caused a ruckus by giving $5,000 to an anti-abortion group that put larger-than-life signs showing aborted fetuses on the quad. Elections are a time for students to speak out against — or for — Congress’ decisions, the basketball ticket policy or the SBP’s leadership. Students deserve good representation. There’s an obvious difference between good student government officers and bad ones.

Monumental importance

Freedom Monument Project should progress

he time has come for the Freedom Monument Project to move forward. UNC art professors Juan Logan and Lyneise Williams, along with landscape architect David Swanson, have designed a series of sculptural vignettes to be located near the state capital in Raleigh. This “Freedom Grove” would recognize past injustice and symbolize the incredible strides made in the elusive quest for equality. The African-American experience in North Carolina is an integral part of the state’s history. It is a history from which slavery, Jim Crow and a profound struggle for civil equality

cannot be extricated. The monument would serve as an enduring reminder of history, as well as a reminder of the continuing struggle to fully realize equality of liberty. A $450,000 state appropriation for the monument was frozen along with all other capital appropriations in an effort to balance the budget. The irregular inter vals between meetings of the Capital Planning Commission — which must approve the project — have also served to stall progress. The commission is supposed to meet quarterly but until recently had not met for an astonishing five years. But this monument has been too long coming already. As

the project continues to raise money, the state should take the steps that it can to help make this monument a reality. The Capital Planning Commission can help move the project forward. And Gov. Bev Perdue should demonstrate her commitment to the project by unfreezing the appropriation in the next budget. North Carolina is a state with a rich history — much of which is intertwined with slavery and racial inequality. Past injustice is more comfortably ignored, which is why it is so important to support a monument that memorializes a struggle that has shaped the history of this state and nation.

Put ticket policy in hot seat Lower-level seats should go to students, not donors

he men’s basketball team is not the only thing in crisis in the Smith Center. There’s also a major problem with the seating policy. The majority of students is relegated to seats in the upperreaches of the cavernous arena, while the court-side seats are occupied by major donors. And many student tickets go unused. This needs to change. I’m calling for the donors who occupy the court-side seats to trade places with the students. Give students the chance to sit lowerlevel and mid-court. Donors should be thanked for their generous support. But they should also recognize that the basketball team is a group of college students. It’s an amateur — not professional — team that exists because the University exists. The ticketing system is in place for a reason. Students had the chance to help pay for the arena and in return be granted seating priority, but they declined a student fee referendum in 1979. Therefore, prime seats are reserved for the major donors. To force the students out of the

best seats because of this decision is unfair and wrong. The fundamental priority should be to create a student-led atmosphere. As is, students receive about 6,000 tickets to every game — 4,000 upper-level and 2,000 lower-level. The majority of the remaining 15,000 or so tickets goes to donors, faculty and staff. In 2000 the risers, 400 courtside seats, were installed. This was a step in the right direction. Student attendance at games this year has certainly not been great. Clint Gwaltney, associate athletic director, said during the Georgia Tech game last Saturday, 600 student tickets went unused. That’s pretty pathetic for a basketball team coming off

a national championship and ranked in the top 25. But maybe it’s because students are not given top priority. That’s not the case at Duke. Our archrival gets its ticketing priorities straight. For an undergraduate population of about 6,200, there are around 1,200 tickets available to the lowerlevel area that lines the court. Duke’s major donors are known as the Iron Dukes. They receive about 5,800 season tickets to the upper-level of Cameron Indoor Stadium. Iron Dukes donate a lot and could claim they deserve the best seats. But they recognize the importance of a raucous student section. As a result, the Cameron Crazies are probably the best known fans in college basketball. At UNC, it’s going to take a similar commitment from both donors and students. Students have to want to create a wild atmosphere and commit to attend games. Donors, in return, should recognize that it’s in the best interest of the team and the University, to have students in the best seats.

TO THE EDITOR: It is a privilege to attend the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and I think most students would agree with me. Four years of learning, laughing, studying, making friends and being a Tar Heel are more than most people’s experience. When you take a moment to think of all that Carolina means to you, it’s important to reflect on how you are able to have this amazing opportunity. Many people think Carolina is wholly funded by state appropriations and tuition. However, what they don’t realize is that less than 40 percent of Carolina’s annual revenue is generated from state appropriations, tuition and fees. It’s important to give as a student — and continue giving after graduation — to leave your mark as a proud Tar Heel. Think of all your experiences at Carolina and what your time here would be like without them and without the generous donations of others. Give thanks. Give back. Make this experience not just yours, but the experience of students years from now. The senior class campaign encourages senior giving. All students can donate to any area that is meaningful to them — their major, a student organization, a program that is meaningful to them, the Chancellor’s Unrestric ted Fund or the endorsed fund, the University Library Endowment. The senior class goal is 43 percent participation and to have a recordbreaking year! Remember what Carolina has done for you, and see what you can do for it!

Advisory committee seeks input from UNC students TO THE EDITOR: The student leadership advisory committee consists of 12 students that directly advise the vice chancellor for student affairs. SLAC was created in 2008 and serves as both a student voice to the administration and as a liaison between the two. SLAC addresses a broad range of issues on behalf of the student body, spanning from housing to dining to Greek affairs. This year, as a result of having spoken with fellow students and identifying a need for the extension of the hours in Davis Library, SLAC worked with library administration to implement this change. Beginning in fall 2010, Davis Library will now be open until 2 a.m. Sunday through Thursday. SLAC’s goal is to continuously strive to work on issues pertinent to the student body; however, this is an enormous undertaking that cannot be accomplished by the 12 students on the committee alone. Thus, in an effort to solicit the critical input of our peers, SLAC would like to present a challenge to each UNC student. Our challenge is for every student to think of one great thing Carolina does and one area for improvement as it pertains to student life, campus life and campus culture.

Review of entire Greek system needed for change TO THE EDITOR: In response to Bob Winston’s letter, (“Greek review to focus on Greeks, not administration,” Jan. 19), if you want to have the best Greek system in the country, then it might be a good idea to examine the structure and operations of the University offices that interact with Greek organizations. From what I have read and heard firsthand, it appears that the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life has contributed its fair share to the problems. The individuals who are in charge of overseeing fraternities and sororities have demonstrated an inability to carry out their responsibilities in a professional manner. Loading down Greek leaders with burdensome requirements and hounding fraternity presidents by calling them in the middle of the night are two examples of the ineffective approach that has been taken. The correct way to establish a cooperative relationship between the University and the Greek system is to analyze the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life in tandem with the analysis of the Greek community. It is my wish that these two dueling factions will one day work in tandem rather than in the current condition of subordination. I have two younger sisters currently involved in Greek life at UNC. I have the utmost faith that Jordan Whichard will enable them to graduate with a much more efficient system than is currently present. In order for this to be realistic, all factions of the current Greek system need to be under thorough review, especially the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life. Romaine C. Woodard UNC ‘09
