THIS DAY IN HISTORY
JANUARY 17, 1950
Eleven men stole more than $2
million from the Brinks Armored
Car depot in Boston, pulling of
the largest robbery in the nations
history at the time. The culprits
werent caught until 6 years later.
Get off the roller coaster
Brooke Pryor
No, I dont want to be Erin Andrews
S
aturday afternoon should be
the last time anyone at North
Carolina utters P.J. Hairstons
name.
Hes not an excuse. Hes not a
scapegoat. He certainly shouldnt be
the reason for the teams 0-3 ACC
start. Its time to shake the Hairston
hangover.
A few weeks shy of an entire
year on the Hairston roller coaster
beginning Jan. 29, 2013 with 14
points in 12 minutes against Boston
College and finishing when he
signed with NBA D-League team
the Texas Legends on Tuesday
North Carolina can finally step off
the ride.
The Tar Heels will suit up in their
home white jerseys Saturday, ready
to face Boston College. Hairston will
be 1,182 miles away, donning a new
dark blue jersey, stitched with No.
19, his new number.
Hes off the bench. Gone from
Chapel Hill. Out of sight, out of mind.
But its not quite that simple.
Like exiting a roller coaster, the
first few steps are wobbly. Theres
some bobbing and weaving, even a
quick trip to the trashcan to hurl out
the contents of a churning stomach.
A minute of regaining balance
before another dizzy spell. A few
shaky steps to a bench to sit down.
And finally, after a few moments
and a cautious rise, enough regained
composure to get up and leave.
Sound familiar?
This years Tar Heels are in the
throes of post-traumatic Hairston
disorder an affliction that pro-
duces stumbling losses followed by
stretches of maturity and brilliance.
If youre looking for a past year to
compare this years comedy of errors
to, theres not one.
Serving UNC students and the University community since 1893

But an 0-3 start to the ACC isnt
unprecedented for a North Carolina
team.
In 1996-97, the Tar Heels
dropped three games straight, only
to earn Dean Smiths 13th ACC tour-
nament title and a Final Four berth
in Smiths final season.
But that isnt this team.
The 1997 squad was a goldmine
of NBA talent led by Vince Carter
and Antawn Jamison. That team
had all the tools, sharpened, ready
to be used and with a little bit of
coaxing, Smith and his team turned
the season around.
But that was supposed to happen.
The team was stacked, filled to the
brim with NBA-ready players.
This team is full of young, raw
players.
Joel James didnt start playing
organized basketball until his soph-
omore year in high school. Marcus
Paige is 20 years old and playing
35.4 minutes a game averaging
the most playing time of any player
in Williams era.
This years squad is most similar
to the 1989-90 team.
No, I wasnt alive for that season.
I barely even remember the 1996-97
team. But after consulting with Bill
Cole, a longtime Winston-Salem
Journal columnist who covered the
team, I was pointed in the direction
of the 1990 team and did my home-
work.
The 1990 team lost 13 games
including three in a row to less-
than-stellar ACC teams but also
twice upset a top-10 Duke team .
The team began 1989 ranked No. 7
in the preseason polls but finished the
season unranked and nearly halted
Dean Smiths 20-win season streak.
Wins in the NCAA tournament,
including an upset of No. 1 Midwest
seed Oklahoma, saved the streak and
pushed the team to a 21-13 finish.
But there werent any external, off-
the-court problems complicating a
team devoid of future NBA all stars.
Right now, the near future of
North Carolina basketball looks
bleak the star player banished to
Texas, the head coach growing more
and more haggard as the losses and
scandals mount, the shoulders of the
players slumping more after each
turnover.
But this season is not a waste, not
one to be written off as the season
marred in disgrace.
Theres still time to turn it
around. Attitudes have to change,
and as Williams has recently
lamented, intensity needs to be
renewed.
No, the Tar Heels are no longer
playing in hope of Hairstons return.
They cant scrape by, hoping for the
prodigal son to return and rescue a
floundering team.
Hes gone.
There are 15 games left.
The ride is over.
Either stay on that bench, head in
lap, unable to overcome the waves of
nausea or stand up and move on.

Hundreds of college presidents

gathered at the White House
Thursday for a higher education
summit to address expanding col-
lege opportunities.
Folt, N.C. State University
Chancellor Randy Woodson and

to participate in panel discussions.
President Barack Obama
announced in a speech at the sum-
mit that more than 100 colleges
and 40 organizations had made
commitments to help more young
people not only go to, but also
graduate from college.
UNC-CH pledged at least $8
million to help achieve these
goals.
More than ever, a college
degree is the surest path to a
stable, middle-class life, Obama
said. Unfortunately, today only
30 percent of low-income stu-
dents enroll in college right after
high school, and by their mid-20s,
only 9 percent earn a bachelors
degree.

Tutors research approval rescinded

By Amanda Albright

Senior Writers
Jim Dean and Mary Willingham are not
on the same page.
Dean, UNCs executive vice chancellor
and provost, and Willingham, a reading
specialist and former athletic tutor, havent
publicly agreed on much in the past week
since Willingham went to CNN with her
student-athlete literacy findings.
And Thursday added another chapter to
the saga, as UNC provided its most thor-
ough response to the claims since the CNN
articles publication.
Speaking for the first time publicly,
Chancellor Carol Folt sent out a message
Thursday to the entire UNC community reaf-
firming that the administration is working to
get to the bottom of the findings. Later that
day, the University also released its own data
meant to dispute Willinghams, stating that
97 percent of UNC student-athletes through-
out the same 8-year period Willingham cov-
ered met a CNN threshold for reading skills.
And then the day got even busier, with a twist
in events that has left Dean and Willingham
in disagreement yet again.
On Thursday, Willingham received a let-
ter from the UNC Office of Human Research
Ethics saying that the data she had taken
to CNN was no longer approved by the
Universitys Institutional Research Board,
an infringement on both federal and UNC
policies if she continues to use the research
without approval.
The IRB, which includes various fac-
ulty members that review the Universitys
research on human subjects, reports to
Dean.
The letter states that her data, which
screened Attention Deficit Disorder and
learning disorders in student-athletes,
identified its participants. This violates the
terms of research approval set by the board
in 2008 and when the research was re-
approved in 2013, according to the letter.
In media reports, Willingham has cited a
study of 183 student-athletes between 2004
and 2012, claiming that one mens basket-
ball player couldnt read and between 8 and
10 percent of football and basketball players
read below a third grade level.
She sent Dean her unidentified data to
back these claims Monday before he asked
for a spreadsheet with her research subjects
names.
This response is inadequate and dis-
appointing, Dean said in an email to
Willingham after she sent him a set of
unidentified data. It is not at all a sign of
good faith on your part. I want you to send
me the actual spreadsheet that you used to
make your claims. It should include names
and sports, as you have said that you have
this information.
Dean said in an interview that the reason
for the boards decision was not because she
turned the data with athlete names over
to him. He said this was not an attempt to
dismiss her findings, and that the IRB was
looking into her research before Willingham
sent him the data.
Marys story is that I forced her to give
methe data with the names and I shut
down the research and that is absolutely,
categorically false, Dean said.
The IRB told Willingham the board
understood that (a) you were conducting a
secondary analysis using data collected by
others for non-research purposes; and (b)
you and other investigators would not be
able to identify individual student-athletes,
i.e., the data were de-identified, according
to the letter, which was obtained by The
Daily Tar Heel. The IRB later found neither
of those factors were true in Willinghams
research.
How would I do the research if I didnt

INSPIRATION TAKES FLIGHT
Present, future scientists: failure is vital
Researchers shared stories of their
scientific progress on Thursday.
By Breanna Kerr
Staff Writer
Although the Universitys initiative for
comprehensive Wi-Fi in residence halls is
nearly a year ahead of schedule, students are
not always having the same luck accessing the
network.
Jim Gogan, director of networking systems
for ITS, said personal routers and hotspots have
been posing the main problems for Wi-Fi on
campus.
When you have a personal router, it inter-
feres with the network like if you had FM radio
channels operating on the same frequency,
Gogan said.
Chris Williams, the manager of ResNet,
said that if a personal router is in a nearby
suite or floor, it could interfere with about
one-third of the access points a dorm room
has.
Routers are the biggest offenders of these
problems, but MyFi or personal hotspots on
cell phones can actually be a bigger problem for
us, Williams said.
Williams estimated about 150 personal rout-
ers remain on campus, but some of those are
located in Rams Village 4 and 5 the only two
residence halls on campus that still do not have
Wi-Fi in dorm rooms.
Senior Jazmine Baldwin, who lives in Rams
Village 1, said wireless routers were installed
in her dorm on the last day before winter
break.
The Wi-Fi works fine no better or worse
than anywhere else on campus, she said. I just
hate that it took so long to get.
The off-campus student family housing
apartment complex, Baity Hill at Mason Farm,
also does not have Wi-Fi.
Gogan said this issue is not contained within
the residence halls either, and that faculty and
staff could be responsible for a portion of the
personal routers interfering with the network.
A lot of (the problem) in the faculty and
staff buildings are with things that departments
purchase and dont realize it has Wi-Fi on it, he
said.
Printers and even projectors can have their
own Wi-Fi networks built in.
Stan Waddell, assistant vice chancellor of ITS
Services, said personal routers interfere with
and overpower our signal.
These routers set up the same ID and people
sometimes accidentally get onto those when the
DHCP server gives out the wrong IP address,
Waddell said.
In that case, students have trouble regaining
access to the UNC network.
ITS and ResNet officials both said that
other personal devices such as wireless print-
ers and game consoles have been affected by
personal routers, but if a student tries to con-
nect these devices to UNC-Secure or UNC-
PSK after proper setup, the devices should
work properly.
Students can receive help from ResNET
workers, who live in residence halls, to help
with the setup.
The catch with some wireless printers
though, is that some printers look like a router,
Williams said. Thats the kind of thing that
needs to be turned off.
Williams said the campus Wi-Fi initiative
official plan was to be finished next January. As
of today, its a year ahead of schedule.
Its only been a semester, and were almost
done, he said.
Gogan said the main thing he hopes students
get from the initiative is better connectivity, but
not just for education.
Those affected are not only students, but
they call the residence halls their homes, he
said.
One of the leading traffic sites in the eve-
ning is Netflix. Do I have a problem with that?
Definitely not.

UNC student Bobby Mook has an acro-
nym for an insecurity he sees in many stu-
dents FOMO, or the fear of missing out.
Mook said most Carolina students have
felt insignificant, often late at night, thanks
to Snapchat or Facebook.
He was one of seven students compet-
ing in the Laura Rozo Student Speaker
Competition Thursday, the winner of which
will be announced Jan. 20 and will speak at
the TEDxUNC conference on Feb. 15.
TED which stands for Technology,
Entertainment and Design is a confer-
ence series that brings together experts in
a single day to discuss a variety of topics.
Each expert gives a lecture, which is posted
on TED.com for free viewing.
The student speaker contest took place
in the Great Hall of the Student Union and
drew a crowd of hundreds.
The event was renamed this year in honor
of last years TEDxUNC student speaker,
Laura Rozo, who died from cancer last spring.
Madiha Bhatti kicked off the event,
speaking on the negative effects Twitter and
other social media networks have on our
creative and academic abilities. Bhatti said
our thoughts are being abbreviated; they are
being consolidated into 140-word quips.
Bhatti was followed by Afika Nxumalo,
who shared his ideas on fatherlessness
and how this contributes to all the worlds
social problems. Nxumalo finished his
speech with a vocal and guitar performance,
sharing his ideas in a musical fashion.
Safiyah Ismail discussed the difficulty of
communicating with those different from
ourselves and shared her story of experienc-
ing a friendship through sign language.
Sign language is a language of experience,
said Ismail. Its beauty cannot be denied.
Devon Pinkus followed, sharing his ideas
on the benefits of mindfulness.
Our society doesnt value living in the
moment, he said.
Wilton Burns then shared her thoughts
on what she called the C Word crazy,
discussing the injustice experienced by
people with mental illnesses.
The speeches concluded with Rob Jones
who revealed his dreams of becoming a
UNC JV basketball player.
Though he never stepped on to the court
as a Tar Heel, Jones said he has no regrets,
as he has been able to turn a passion into
a career as a coach, helping young players
achieve their goals on the basketball court.
At the end of the event, UNC students
cast their vote on which speaker they would
like to see at the official event.
Students who attended had the oppor-
tunity to win tickets for the official confer-
ence. Online registration for tickets offi-
cially opens Jan. 22.
Freshman Kelly Whalen said the ideas of
the speakers were inspiring and a good out-
let for UNCs academic community.
They were kind of empowering in that
theyre UNC students, she said.

The UNC-system Board of
Governors has joined members
of UNC-CHs administration
in stating that problems with
student-athletes academics are
not as severe as they seem.
The board issued its annual
intercollegiate athletics report at
its meeting last week, which pro-
vided statistics that included the
graduation rates and Academic
Progress Rates for student-ath-
letes at 15 UNC-system institu-
tions during 2012-13.
According to the report, the
UNC-system averages for the
high school GPAs of all incoming
football and mens and womens
basketball players were at or
above 3.0.
Board member Roger Aiken
said the report is a sign of prog-
ress and said the board might
use it to make future decisions
regarding athletics.
I did not think this report
shed as bad a light as we have

seen in other reports, Aiken said.
Aiken said the numbers pre-
sented in the report contrasted
to the athlete literacy statistics
former athletic tutor Mary
Willingham told to CNN last
week. In the report, she said
out of 183 football and mens
basketball players who played
between 2004 and 2012, nearly
10 percent read below a third
grade level and 60 percent
could not read higher than an
eighth grade level.
Aiken said the issues are more
minute but spread throughout
other sports on campus.
Its not just a football or bas-
ketball problem, he said.
But University of Oklahoma
higher education professor
Gerald Gurney said the rate is a
false indicator of achievement
because it only takes academic
eligibility into account.
It has nothing whatsoever to
do with the quality of the edu-
cation the student is getting,
Gurney said. So the question then
becomes, you score all the points
possible if, no matter how deficient
the student is, am I able to keep
that student from one semester to
the next and is he eligible?
Gurney said the Academic
Progress Rate was established
by the NCAA in 2003 to set an
academic threshold of around
925. But he said that a score of
925 correlated with an NCAA-
wide graduation rate for student-
athletes of just 37 percent.
He said the only universities
that are penalized for a low score
are small universities, such as his-
torically black colleges, which do
not have the money or resources to
keep their athletes eligible.
According to the report, North
Carolina A&T University is the
only UNC-system institution
currently being penalized by the
NCAA for a low score.
University of South Carolina
sports administration professor
Richard Southall said he does not
think the numbers in the board
report tell the whole story because
they do not separate revenue ath-
letes from non-revenue athletes.
A third string player who
never sees the field is not a profit
athlete, Southall said. What
many reports do is lump all col-
lege athletes together.
Southall said the report needs
to go farther in analyzing which
majors revenue athletes are clus-
tered in.
The questions of selected
majors needs to be broken down
right away, by sport and by start-
ers and non-starters, he said.
Gurney said he thinks the
board and UNC administration
have followed the example of
several other institutions in pro-
viding details that maintain their
image but ultimately cover up the
underlying issues.
Predictably, your administra-
tion is releasing public informa-
tion that is at best misleading,
and at worst is a deliberate lie.

Twitter users frequently poke fun at them-
selves by ending a snarky tweet with #fail, but
for scientists, failure is not a joke it is an
essential element in their research.
Thursday night, Nobel Laureate Oliver
Smithies, along with other scientists and
graduate students, told his #ScienceFail
story under the starry dome in Morehead
Planetarium.
The event was a collaboration between
three organizations: The Monti, Scientists
with Stories and the Morehead Planetarium
and Science Center.
The Monti is a nonprofit organization that
invites ordinary people to tell their stories in
front of audiences, primarily in the Triangle area.
As the 88-year-old geneticist Smithies
entered the spotlight, he received a warm
greeting from everyone seated in the sold-out
space.
I came to realize if I came to talk about
failures, Im really here to talk about science,
Smithies said.
Because science wouldnt have developed
without having a series of failures.
He said his genetics research was fraught
with errors and adjustments to those errors,
but acknowledged the value of the old adage
that we learn from our mistakes.
What matters is that you learn how to
think, how to do good science. If you dont
enjoy it, you better ask your adviser for a new
problem. And if your adviser doesnt give you a
new problem, change your adviser.
Jeff Polish, executive director of the Monti,
said after 8 1/2 years of working toward and
eventually earning his Ph.D., he opted to be a
high school teacher.
I hated textbooks when I was in high
school, and I didnt like lab manuals, Polish
said.
So I wanted to teach these kids what sci-
ence really looks like.
And he did. Polish has received thank you
emails and notes from his students years later.
Vanessa Volpe, who works as a blue rib-
bon mentor advocate, described her struggle
to answer her main research question. Shes
trying to gauge if racial identity development
through a middle school camp could help stu-
dents of color. Her interview with one student,
Calvin, quickly went awry.
We went through the whole interview, and
he gave me one-word answers, Volpe said.
When I asked him, what does being black
mean to you? He looked really angry and frus-
trated, but really sad too.
My data wasnt really good that day, and
neither was my relationship with Calvin.
She said she adjusted her research practices
after the learned to speak her students lan-
guage.
Smithies continued the theme of learning
from failure by discussing his experiences
teaching students to fly.
But remember what I was teaching with
flying overcome fear with knowledge. You
can do things that you thought were impos-
sible if you keep that little motto.
Actors on a mission
By Jaleesa Jones
Staff Writer
Colman Domingo, a Tony
Award-nominated actor, will
lead audiences deeper into
August Wilsons Fences
this weekend as he presents
Mission of Saint, a play
chronicling the untold story
of the character Gabriel.
The production is part
of the Institute for the Arts
and Humanitiess Process
Series, which presents rough
drafts of new works, allow-
ing audiences to be a part
of the creative process and
an opportunity to provide
feedback to help artists hone
their material.
Joseph Megel, the artis-
tic director for the Process
Series, said each artist
reworks their material differ-
ently.
Sometimes an artist just
wants to see something twice,
so no changes are made.
Sometimes you get 50 dif-
ferent pages. Ive had both
experiences, but the one thing
I never do is say, You must
or Were expecting you to,
because thats antithetical to
the series objective, Megel
said.
I try to create an environ-
ment where anything can
happen and assist it in mov-
ing towards a direction that is
desired.
Domingos work centers
around an otherworldly
exchange between Gabriel
and Saint Peter after Gabriel
is injured during World War
II.
The characters of
Gabriel and St. Peter will
be performed by local actor

Computer programming,
theater and novel writing are
three seemingly unrelated
fields.
But these three practices
came together in UNC alum-
nus Mark Nielsens first novel,
Hotlanta!
While he has an MFA in
playwriting and a masters in
theater history and criticism,
Nielsen works as the infor-
mation systems director for
UNCs Study Abroad Office
and is also a novelist. Nielsen
is a man of many trades, who
brings together various inter-
ests using a technical writing
approach.
Programming is basically
a big logic puzzle, and what I
write are mysteries, which are
also logic puzzles, Nielsen said.
Nielsens writing style is
unconventional. Unlike many
writers who first develop
the characters in their story,
Nielsen begins his novels by
writing the plot and then
adding in the characters.
Im very logical; I like to
organize things. Before I sit
down to write, everything is
completely outlined, Nielsen
said. Ive always rebelled
against what I was taught.
While Nielsen is relatively
new to the novel-writing world,
he seems to have completely
jumped the learning curve.
Patti Wood, who works for
Headline Books Inc., said she
was impressed by Hotlanta!
When I got Marks manu-
script, it only took three pages
before I knew for sure that
it was a book that was at the
top of the list for publishing,
Wood said. It was amazing,
just in that short amount of
time to see what quality the
writing was and how intrigu-
ing the story was.
Nielsen, who will hold a
book launch Friday at the
FedEx Global Education
Center, said his desire to reach
more people with his work
steered him toward writing
novels as opposed to plays.
A serious, straight play
really has a very, very limited
audience, and so it occurred
to me that if I was going to
spend all that time and ener-
gy, what I really wanted to
do was write something that
might reach a wider audience
than I could hope to reach in
playwriting, Nielsen said.
Cathy Teets, Nielsens pub-
lisher, said his background in
playwriting is an advantage
and attributes his playwrit-
ing to be one of the reasons

Hotlanta! is so well written.
In a play, you have to get
to the message across really
quick, you dont have that
much time, Teets said.
Im sure that affects his
writing because his book
really is a page turner, theres
not a lot of fluff. You dont
ever really drift off.
Nielsen said his desire to
write mystery novels is fueled
by his love of good mysteries
with unpredictable endings.
He is fascinated by some
authors ability to present all
of the facts in a mystery novel
Alphonse Nicholson and
Broadway actor Arthur
French, respectively.
Domingo said the play
explores not only Gabriels
backstory but also the
discrete experience of the
African-American male
an experience shaped by
socioeconomic stratification
and differential opportuni-
ties.
I wanted to capture the
experiences of those from
urban communities, who had
limited opportunities, whose
only option may have been
to go into the armed forces,
Domingo said.
Megel said the play
presents an opportunity to
acknowledge both the past
and present challenges faced
by African-American men
across the axis of age.
However, Megel also
added that he wanted
attendees to reflect on more
than just the provocative
subject matter.
They get a window into
what is usually private and
hidden and that may make
them appreciate more
finished pieces that they
see at Memorial Hall or
PlayMakers, Megel said.
I want them to talk about
how great it is to see people of
the caliber that were bring-
ing in what a privilege it
is to have that opportunity,
he said.
Nicholson said he felt
privileged to be a part of the
production and that he is
looking forward to presenting
the play to audiences.
while still making it almost
impossible for readers to guess
the ending before reading it,
and that he wanted to write a
piece that had the same effect.
I think mystery writers
and mystery readers are play-
ing a game, Nielsen said.
You open that first page,
and you say Im going to fig-
ure this out before I get to the

UNC administrators have
taken steps to rectify the data
breach that occurred at the
beginning of November
but for many in the campus
community, its not enough.
Thursday afternoon, facul-
ty and students gathered for a
community meeting concern-
ing the incident.
The breach leaked the per-
sonal information of about
6,500 students and faculty,
including in some instances
Social Security numbers,
dates of birth and addresses.
There are no magic
answers, Associate Vice
Chancellor for Human
Resources Matt Brody told
the audience repeatedly.
According to a University
press release, the safeguards
on the Division of Finance
and Administration com-
puter that normally prevent
unauthorized access were
accidentally disabled. The
files were then copied and
displayed by an automated
Google process.
Vice chancellors from across
campus sat on a panel that
heard the concerns of those in
attendance, about 75 people.
The administrators lead-
ing the meeting apologized
for the mistake and informed
those in attendance of the
services being provided to
protect them, such as a free,
year-long subscription to a
credit monitoring service.
I want to say that good,
honest people make mis-
takes, Brody said.
No response is perfect and
we are doing our best as the
situation evolves.
Brody responded to the
majority of the questions
asked at the meeting even
recounting his own experi-
ence with identity theft.
Robert Weaver, an account-
ing technician for UNCs
Institute for the Environment,
said he thinks that the security
measures need to be more
strictly enforced. He asked
the panel to mandate the new
steps across all departments.
Had you considered what
you could do to keep us from
being back here a year from
now? he said.
David Brannigan, a Grounds
Services worker, drafted a peti-
tion that gathered more than
100 signatures. It criticized the
Universitys response.
Brannigan said he felt that
bringing the responsible par-
ties together was important.
While the University sent
letters to those affected by,
Brannigan said the letters
were vague and unclear.
What we got is not
enough, he said.
He said the letters ano-
nymity made it seem like
those responsible didnt want
to own up.
Dale Krams an employee of
UNC School of Medicine, said
the yearlong subscription to
the credit monitoring service
was not enough. Its going to
cost all of us time and money
and really, one year of credit
monitoring is just a drop in
the bucket, he said.
Its a great opportunity
for me working with these
guys who have had their
name instilled in theater and
the world of art so well, he
said.
I just want them to kind
of walk away thinking, Wow,
what would Fences have
been like if this was a scene?
I want them to walk away
intrigued, wanting to see
more and do more.

The weight of the worlds his little girl
DTH/DANIEL WILCO
Brien Berry transferred to UNC this year to be closer to his daughter after running at two schools.
By Aaron Dodson
Assistant Sports Editor
Seven pounds. Three
ounces. Nineteen inches.
From this tiny frame
emerged a collegiate sprinter
by the name of Brien Berry.
For Berry, those three
numbers mean more to
him than any of the three-
digit times hes ever recorded.
Because nearly 18 years later,
the three measurements
resurfaced.
On February 20, 2011,
Berry then in Virginia as
a member of the Hampton
University track and field
team received a call from
his family in Durham with
news hed been waiting on for
the longest time.
Berry had become the
father of a healthy baby girl
named Paityn.
And just as when he was
born, she moved the dial on
the scale to 7 pounds and 3
ounces, stretching out to 19
inches.
As much as he wanted to,
Berry couldnt be there to wit-
ness his daughters birth.
He was in mid-season at
Hampton, stuck in study hall
in Holland Hall, Room 109.
I wanted to go home so
bad, he said. But I couldnt.
Missing Paityns first
breath was the last downfall
Berry could take on a roller
coaster of a freshman year at
Hampton.
I was thinking about
it and realized I was only
going to get to see her
Thanksgiving, Christmas, he
said. I couldnt live with just
seeing her two weekends out
of the year.
Today marks the start of
the 2014 winter season. And
though hes not yet in racing
shape, when Berry finally
takes to the track, he ll again
put on a blue jersey.
Only it wont say Hampton.
Berry is in his first season
on the track and field team at
North Carolina.
But while he made it to
UNC, where he admits he
always wanted to be, his
journey home to be close to
his baby girl was far from
easy.
To stay or go?
When Berry first got to
Hampton, it was love at first
sight.
He especially loved the
track and field teams chem-
istry, as he experienced it
on his 4x400 relay team
that advanced to the NCAA
regional qualifier in 2012
with four freshmen and one
sophomore.
But above all, Berry
cherished his relationship
with Hampton coach Steve
Lewis. He was the man who
helped convince the young
sprinter to choose track,
after running for the first
time as a high school senior,
over Division I basketball
scholarship offers from East
Carolina, UNC-Wilmington
and Bucknell.
So when Berry received
word, just months after arriv-
ing in Virginia, that Hampton
planned on letting go of
Lewis, the thought of trans-
Brien Berry balances
track and school with
life as a father.
SEE BERRY, PAGE 6
ferring immediately popped
into his head.
Then came the biggest
news of his then 18-year-old
life.
Berry had a baby on the
way, and now his decision
was set in stone. He would
transfer to a school closer to
home at the end of the year to
be with her.
He submitted a request
for his release an NCAA
requirement for a Division I
transfer athlete to compete at
another D-I school.
The request was just
a formality. Normally,
transferring isnt an issue,
yet Berry had to wait for
Hamptons approval.
The school wouldnt loosen
its grip on the talented young
sprinter. His request was
denied.
When I told them I want-
ed to go home and be close
to my daughter, they were
like, Thats not a legit reason
to leave school, Berry said.
They literally just sat there
and said, Thats not a good
reason to leave.
It was just an unbeliev-
able feeling something you
would never expect.
Berry, however, couldnt
have cared less about the
schools decision. He knew
what he had to do, even if
that meant putting his track
career in jeopardy.
His daughter came first.
I told the guy in the meet-
ing, Regardless of what yall

hurdler Devon Carter.
say. Im not going to come
back, Berry said. If I have
to sit out for a year and do
nothing, thats what Im going
to do.
After Hampton denied his
transfer request, he returned
home for the summer to be
with Paityn.
To continue to pursue
his track career, Berry only
had one option to attend
a two-year junior college.
He decided on Barton
Community College in Great
Bend, Kan.
He was allured by the
legacy of past track and field
stars that had gone through
the same program, notably
Olympic medalists Veronica
Campbell-Brown and Tyson
Gay.
At Barton, Berry picked
up right where he left off his
freshman season by being
named a junior college All-
American in the 100-meter
and 200-meter dashes and
the 4x100 relay.
When Berry took to the
podium to be honored at the
NJCAA championships, the
feeling of winning on a big
stage quickly rushed back
into his veins.
He admitted to being satis-
fied with the three honors for
just 20 minutes before the
itch to compete on an even
bigger stage returned.
When I won the 200 and
got my last All-American for
the day, I was happy, he said.
They called us on the middle
of the field for the podium
call to take pictures. After
that, I was just thinking about
the NCAA one and winning
that.
Berry wanted to again run
track for a Division I pro-
gram.
And at the top of his
list of potential destina-
tions was a certain school
fewer than 10 miles from
his hometown of Durham,
and more importantly just
a short drive away from his
daughter.
The return home
Berry had the times.
Both his personal records
in the 100- and 200-meter
dashes are fewer than a sec-
ond off the 2013 national
championship-winning
times.
Berry also has the ath-
leticism and the win-at-all-
costs mindset necessary to
compete. In his first ever
100-meter dash, he ran a
10.7.
But with only two years of
running experience, he hasnt
yet refined his technique.
Still, top Division I track
programs were salivating at
the thought of securing an
athlete with such a high ceil-
ing.
Berry knew he wanted to
attend a school in the south-
east. So he emailed coaches
at five programs in the region
North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida
and Louisiana State.
But Berry recalls only the
excitement he gained after
checking his inbox to see one
particular message a reply
from UNC sprinting coach
Steve Rubin.
Despite the interest he gar-
nered from his dream school,
track and field powerhouse
LSU made its way into his
final two choices along with
UNC.
But then things clicked for
Berry.
I thought about if I go
anywhere besides (UNC),
itd defeat the purpose of me
going to Barton and leaving
Hampton, he said.
That was the main
thing, being close to Paityn.
Because LSU, itd be the same
thing I could only see her
Christmas probably.
She was a real big factor in
everything.
Berrys first visit to Chapel
Hill sealed the deal for both
him and Rubin.
On that day, which he
remembers all too well, Rubin
not only got to meet his
future sprinter, but was also
greeted by a pint-sized visitor
whom he immediately rec-
ognized as Berrys heart and
inspiration.
I got to kind of see Brien
as a guy whos not just a run-
ner, not just a father. Hes both
those things, Rubin said.
I think Paityn really
keeps him humble. Paityn
keeps him on point, keeps
him on task, and I think that
she grounds him in a lot of
ways.
I dont want to say she
defines him because hes
much more than just that,
but I think that she definitely
contributes a lot to the person
he is.
Like father, like daughter
After two colleges in two
years, countless races and
miles traveled, Berry has at
last found a home in Chapel
Hill one close to his heart,
Paityn.
And since becoming a Tar
Heel, hes been nothing short
of open about his relationship
with her, as all of his team-
mates and coaches have got-
ten to know both Berry and
Paityn.
I love it, personally. It
definitely shows you his man-
hood at such a young age,
having to raise a daughter
when hes still in college, said
senior sprinter and hurdler
Devon Carter.
Hes doing a good job of
balancing it. He sees her as
often as he can, and shes a
beautiful little girl.
About a month shy of her
second birthday, Paityn can
say her ABCs and count to
10.
And whenever he gets the
chance, Berry brings her to
campus where she shows off a
set of skills she likely got from
her father.
She likes to run around.
She always runs, Berry said.
She doesnt walk any-
where anymore ever since
she got her walking skills
up. Whenever she goes, shes
always running.
Though nearly two years
ago, Berry was unable to be
there when his daughter first
opened her eyes, it hasnt
mattered.
Everything he has done
since has been for her, from
the choice to transfer to
North Carolina to the races
hes run.
Shes always going to come
first, he said, over every-
thing.
Nothing has been able to
break the bond the two have
shared, which all began with
how both entered into this
world weighing 7 pounds
and 3 ounces and 19 inches
long.

WOMENS BASKETBALL: UNC 78, CLEMSON 55
By Logan Ulrich
Staff Writer
Five minutes into
Thursday nights contest, the
North Carolina womens bas-
ketball team was in trouble.
Clemson held a 13-2 lead,
and the Tar Heels couldnt
make a basket. But after
a TV timeout, freshman
Stephanie Mavunga scored
to end Clemsons run. Next
time down the court, junior
Brittany Rountree sank a
three.
Then the Tar Heels hit
another basket. And another.
Thirty-five minutes later
when the shots stopped rain-
ing, No. 9 UNC (15-3, 3-1
ACC) dribbled out the clock
for a 78-55 win.
Were a talented team,
said associate head coach
Andrew Calder. Eventually
were going to make those
shots.
Early on, the Tigers speed
and athleticism rattled the
Tar Heels. Clemson succeed-
ed in scoring off the dribble
on offense and collapsing on
the Tar Heels post players
on defense. This left UNCs
shooters open for buckets,
but they could not capital-
ize. Calder took blame for
the slow start, joking that he
needed to work on his pre-
game motivational speeches.
But something he said pre-
game did make a difference.
Coach Calder talked about
Michael Jordan, and how as
you get better the game starts
to slow down and you start to
notice things a lot more, said
freshman guard Diamond
DeShields.
DeShields, who has aver-
aged almost 20 points the
last three games, was held
without a shot for nearly the
first 12 minutes of the game.
She finished with 24 points,
including four 3-pointers,
while continuing to play with
a broken hand.
Things are looking a lot
Womens basketball
shoots past Clemson
more clear when Im out
there, and Im able to see lot
more, DeShields said.
The star freshman show-
cased her talent and versatility
throughout the game. One
sequence in the second half
characterized her perfor-
mance: She sliced through the
defense for a bucket, forced a
missed shot and grabbed the
rebound on the other end,
then fired a bullet down the
court to sophomore NDea
Bryant for another basket.
Freshman teammate
Allisha Gray added 16 more
points to the scoring down-
pour and Mavunga finished
with 10. Add in Jessica
Washingtons four points,
and the freshmen on the
team combined for only a
point fewer than the entire
Clemson team.
They got good balance on
their shots, they didnt rush
them and we got some things
going in transition, Calder
said of his teams turnaround.
Despite the torrential scor-
ing output, UNC was careless
with the ball at times. Passing
is a point of emphasis for
Calders team; its goal each
game is to have more assists
than turnovers. Though they
had 18 assists, the Tar Heels
committed 14 turnovers, many
of which were careless or inac-
curate passes. Calder partially
credited Clemsons defensive
intensity but emphasized his
team played a part with some
sloppy passing.
In order to be a great
offensive team, you have to be
a great passing team, he said.
Calder added their hopes
as national championship
contenders rest on their abil-
ity to pass and share the ball.
But despite the passing strug-
gles, the shots still fell for the
Tar Heels one after another
after another.

DTH PICKS OF THE WEEK
The DTH Sports staff and one celebrity guest compete to pick the winners of the biggest
ACC and national college basketball games each week.
He called it last week.
Georgia Tech is going to beat Notre Dame,
Assistant Sports Editor Aaron Dodson said.
And thats just what happened an upset.
Clemson beat Duke upset.
Iowa beat Ohio State upset.
And Stanford beat Oregon upset.
Now, the pickers at The Daily Tar Heel, are
just that upset. We were terrible.
Dodson led all pickers going 5-3 and was
the only one of us to crack .500.
He was followed closely by fellow Assistant
Sports Editor Grace Raynor and Senior Writer
Jon LaMantia, who each went 4-4.
Sports Editor Michael Lananna who
couldve tied for second if only he hadnt put
his faith in Minnesota against Michigan State
put up a 3-5 performance.
Why Minnesota? I just went with a gut
feeling,he said.
But guts are gross, obviously.
From there, it only gets worse.
Assistant Sports Editor Daniel Wilco and
Editor-In-Chief Nicole Comparato each went
2-6.
Wilco picked up right where he left off after
finishing in last place during football picking
season. Its a good thing pickings not his day
job.
Senior Writer Brooke Pryor went a dismal
1-7. She and Dodson exchanged a few words
on Twitter after she quickly fell to an 0-2 start,
but little did she know itd only get worse.
She decided to pick a little more convention-
ally this week, selecting what seems to be the
most obvious choices, but who knows what
will happen after last week.
As I was looking through my email, I
noticed that I picked the exact same predic-
tions as Brooke for this upcoming week,
Raynor said.
That makes me very concerned.
Hayes Permar is this
weeks guest picker.
Hes the producer of the
David Glenn Show, an
ACCSports.com contibu-
tor and an ACC guru.
After putting the guest pickers on track to a
first place victory last semester with her per-
fect 8-0 first week, Comparato is leaving the
rest of her comrades with lots of work to do.
But this weeks guest picker Hayes Permar
(@DHPIV), producer of the David Glenn Show
and an all-around ACC media all-star, isnt
concerned.
Ill buy a beer at the ACC tournament for
any DTH staffer who can beat me. You can
print that,he said.
I dont know if Ill best everyone. But Ill
beat Brooke (and Wilco).
Duo powers Tar Heels
By Grace Raynor
Assistant Sports Editor
There was a time when
the North Carolina womens
basketball team was help-
less against Clemson, when
the Tar Heels trailed the
Tigers nine points, when
double-team after double-
team forced UNC to settle for
unwanted shots.
It was before freshman
Diamond DeShields had
taken a single shot , before
she and fellow freshman
Allisha Gray had found their
rhythm. Clemson led 11-2 .
But that time was short-
lived.
Slowly but surely,
DeShields and Gray came
alive, knocking down shot
after shot, making play after
play in UNCs 78-55 defeat of
the Tigers. They had found
that rhythm, and it certainly
wasnt going anywhere.
By the time the final buzzer
sounded, the two had com-
bined for 40 points 24 for
DeShields, 16 for Gray .
Associate head coach
Andrew Calder has credited
their athleticism, their dedica-
tion all season for the success.
But Thursday night,
DeShields credited the duos
relationship.
Were young freshmen,
but were not young team-
mates. Allisha and I played
together in middle school and
AAU, she said.
We know each others
game, where we like to catch
the ball. I remember one
time I drove in I just found
her, jumped in the air. She
knocked down the three.
Its a natural chemistry
that both light up about when
they speak.
Its not favoritism,
DeShields said, but it is an
advantage, a special bond that
stems from hours together on
the court.
Couple that connection
with the two of them simul-
taneously emerging from
shooting slumps, and the pair
simply couldnt be hushed.
We called some plays for
(DeShields) from there. She
needs her touches, Calder said.
Shes an outstanding
player, and we made sure she
got some.
Gray said she has been
working closely with assistant
coach Ivory Latta to per-
fect her technique, and that
recently, its made the differ-
ence.
She was telling me (in)
Division I basketball, the
players close out a lot faster
and this is a much faster
game, she said.
Also working on pull up
because usually I run some-
body over, but now I have to
learn to pull up because I got
away with that stuff in high
school.
DeShields said she
emerged from her struggles a
little more unconventionally
by breaking her hand.
DTH/SPENCER HERLONG
Diamond DeShields (23) led UNC with 24 points. The freshman
guard has scored 20 or more points in the last three games.
When I broke my hand,
I started shooting better
because (the broken hand) is
my guide hand, she said.
Now, its not even touch-
ing the ball barely, and its
pure right hand, pure shoot-
ing. It was a blessing and a
curse.
As she exited the press
conference, DeShields stole a
glance at Gray, as they began
their walk back to the locker
room.
They both smiled.
Yall be blessed, she told
reporters as she walked away.
Have a good night.
It was only fitting, for they
certainly had.

Sometimes you cant turn
back.
At least, thats the lesson
members of the Chapel Hill-
Carrboro City School Board of
Education are learning with
the implementation of the
districts Mandarin-English
Dual Language program at
Glenwood Elementary School.
Glenwoods capacity is
423 students, and, with more
than 500 students currently
enrolled, the district has
been crafting short and long
term solutions to address the
crowding since November.
The board debated cur-
tailing its expansion of the
Mandarin-English Dual
Language program, which
provides students with both
language and content instruc-
tion in Mandarin and English.
The program is expensive,
and its one of the biggest
drivers in the growth at
Glenwood Elementary.
But during its meeting
Thursday night, the board
opted to continue with its
planned expansion of the pro-
gram at Glenwood.
The decision also called
for the district to move 76
Glenwood students to other
elementary schools.
The board approved the
expansion after hearing from
dozens of concerned parents
on both sides of the debate at
the beginning of the meeting.
For difficult decisions like
this, I want to get it right,
said board member Andrew
Davidson. I want to make
sure we get it right so we
adversely affect as few stu-
dents as possible.
While the Mandarin-
English Dual Language pro-
gram is expensive for the dis-
trict, Davidson said the only
way to minimize the costs is
to continue expanding.
For the disparate costs
between Mandarin Language
and a traditional education,
I think the solution should
be lets bring the costs in line
with a traditional education,
Davidson said.
District staff s original
plan called for the Mandarin-
English Dual Language pro-
gram to be scaled back to only
admit Glenwood students,
but the board voted to keep
the program open to students
from across the district.
This program has to be
accessible to everyone, said
board member Michelle
Brownstein. It cannot be
because of where you live,
who you know or what list-
serv youre on ... I would
love for it to be on the
Kindergarten registration.
Superintendent Tom
Forcella said while the district
hates to redistrict students,
the board had to take mea-
sures to reduce the crowding
at Glenwood.
We are in a very difficult
budget year, Forcella said.
We will do what we have to
do. But we dont want to be
shortsighted because this is a
difficult budget driver.

Upper Quad robbery
is fourth since fall
By Kristen Chung
Staff Writer
The latest robbery in Olde
Campus Upper Quad brought
the total value of stolen goods
this year to around $1,000.
At around 1:15 p.m.
Wednesday, two wallets col-
lectively valued at $146 were
stolen from two unsecured
rooms on the fourth floor of
Grimes Residence Hall.
The burglary followed
three similar incidents that
have occurred since October
in adjacent Ruffin Residence
Hall. In those incidents, the
total value of the stolen goods
was around $850.
In the AlertCarolina
message, the suspect was
described as a black male,
around 25 to 30 years old,
between 5 foot 10 inches and 6
feet tall and weighing between
160 and 170 pounds. He was
wearing a black, down-fill
styled coat, black pants and a
plain, black baseball cap.
Randy Young, spokesman
for the Department of Public
Safety, said it is not unusual
for an area of campus to be
targeted more than once over
a number of months.
Theres more pedestrian
traffic flow of folks who are
not connected to the campus
community, Young said. It
may be one of the closest entry
points from public areas.
Its certainly a bit more
of a distance from public
areas of the town to areas of
Morrison, Hardinor Craige.
Young said the case is still
under investigation and that
no arrests have been made.
The Department of Public
Safety has not ruled out the
idea that the incidents in
Grimes and Ruffin are linked.
Rick Bradley, associate
director of the Department
of Housing and Residential
Education, said the perpetrator
might have entered the build-
ing by tailgating or following a
resident into the building.
After the break in alert,
Bradley said a number of par-
ents called with concerns and
suggestions. He said that the
department always revisits
plans to add more cameras,
but he said they wont neces-
sarily reduce crime.
Cameras dont necessarily
prevent the situation from
occurring, Bradley said. It
might just get a photo of
someone after the fact.
Bradley said a public safety
officer will be present in
Grimes this week to provide
safety information.
The challenge always is that
people who attend programs
like that tend to be individuals
who are more concerned about
their personal safety, he said.
Victims of crimes dont think
that they will be victims.
On Monday, the hous-
ing department launched a
3-month campaign to encour-
age students to lock their
doors, which includes posters
in residence halls and a weekly
email that reminds residents
to protect their property.
Natalie Cooper, a junior
who lived in the nearby
Kenan Community last year,
said she lives off campus now
where she feels safer.
I do feel safer because
Ive got a burglar alarm and
double locks, she said.
Peter Hunt, a sophomore
who lives on the fourth floor,
said he was taking a nap when
the incident occurred. His
door was locked, but he heard
someone try to open it.
I feel plenty safe, but
again Im (6 feet 5 inches)
and 225 pounds, he said.
CHCCS expands Mandarin
More than 70 students
will be moved out of
Glenwood Elementary.
diversity among low-income
students who want to earn
higher-level science degrees.
The program will expand
from 20 to 40 students.
UNC also pledged $4 mil-
lion toward improving the
graduation rates of under-
graduates especially first-
generation, low-income and
underrepresented students
by enhancing various sup-
port programs. Currently,
82 percent of UNC under-
graduates earn a diploma in
four years.
The University will also
expand the Carolina College
Advising Corps, which pro-
vides college advising for high
school students.
UNC has been devoted to
the promise of access and has
encouraged talented, hard-
working students to aim
high, Folt said in a state-
ment.
We are pleased that the
timing of this White House
initiative coordinates with our
Universitys plans to continue
that promise.
U.S. Secretary of
Education Arne Duncan
said the meeting discussed
improving graduation rates
among students in remedial
classes, raising standards in
K-12 education and increas-
ing interactions between
high school students and
universities.
Both Obama and Michelle
Obama highlighted their
personal experiences in their
speeches, saying that they
would not have been able to
succeed without the support
systems from their universi-
ties.
The fact is that right
now we are missing out on
so much potential because
so many promising young
people simply dont believe
that college can be a reality
for them, Michelle Obama
said.
Obama advocated for
greater opportunity and
upward mobility.
You can be born into noth-
ing and work your way into
something extraordinary.

have the names? Willingham
said in an interview. The
study included how they were
doing in school, their GPA.
From what I understand,
the primary investigator can
have access to that and you
wouldnt share that in the
public because that would be
unethical.
Willingham said she
thought she was following
IRB rules because as the pri-
mary investigator she never
released names to anyone
until Dean asked her to give
them to him.
Its a technicality, she
said. In any kind of institu-
tion, if you can get someone
on a technicality you can
squash their research and
their findings.
In fact, Willingham
never even released the data
spreadsheet without names to
anyone, she only shared her
abstract and summaries with
CNN for the outlets original
report.
She did not give CNN
the data, only her summary
conclusions, said Jay Smith,
a co-investigator on the
research with Willingham, in
an email. So no media outlet
has seen her datasheets.
In terms of Willinghams
use of the names, Dean said
the research mixup could
be an honest mistake on her
part. But he said she would
have had to check a box sev-
eral times on her research
application that says she
would not use names in her
research.
However, all of this doesnt
mean that Willinghams data
is invalid, its approval is only
rescinded. The letter states
that she can re-submit an
application to the IRB for
reconsideration, but cannot
continue using the data until
she does.
Were going to go back
through the process,
Willingham said. I grew up
with nunsIm just going
to go right back through the
process like Sister Claire
would.
Intensifying response
Chancellor Carol Folt made
her first public statement on
the claims about student-ath-
letes in an email to the cam-
pus community Thursday,
which was followed by a press
release from the University
with statistics about SAT
scores.
Only two of the 321
student-athletes admitted in
2012 and 2013 fell below the
SAT and ACT levels that were
cited in a recent CNN report
as the threshold for reading
levels for first-year students,
Folt said in the email, adding
that they were in good aca-
demic standing.
The NCAA has also
released data on student-
athlete SAT scores last week,
drawing a national presence
to defend the University.
According to the press
release, 16 out of 29,000
Division I athletes entering
college in 2012 scored below
a 600 composite on the SAT,
and just two of them were
football or mens basketball
players. It also states that
68 student athletes scored
between a 600 and a 700.
According to UNC, of the
341 of the specially admitted
football, mens basketball and
womens basketball players
between 2004 and 2012, only
34 of the players did not meet
CNNs threshold of college
literacy a 400 on the SAT
critical reading section or 16 on
the ACT.
The UNC statement says
CNN did not ask UNC for its
SAT or ACT data and relied on
Willinghams observations.
But Willingham said the
data the University released
Thursday does not disprove
her findings.
Our numbers are pretty
close I think, Willingham
said, adding that the differ-
ences probably result from
her examining a much small-
er cohort of students. I find
that fascinating.
Willingham said the
release is a great start but
that the University can still
do more to improve transpar-
ency by releasing SAT and
ACT scores, what courses
these athletes are enrolled in
and separating the statistics
by sport.
Dean disagrees the data
released by the University
Thursday supports
Willinghams findings in any
way.
Absolutely not, Dean said.
The data released today says
that the vast majority of ath-
letes weve accepted have very
strong verbal and mathemati-
cal skills.
Willingham, who has in
the past been very outspo-
ken and not extremely con-
cerned about her status as an
employee at the University, is
worried about her job secu-
rity.
I dont know what they ll
do tomorrow, she said
Thursday night.
She said this situation got
her to asking the question
about whether she will have
a job at the place she loves
come morning, even though
Dean said she has not vio-
lated any University policies
as far as he knows that would
result in her termination.
Its like somebody died
today, Willingham said
Thursday. Im very sad. Im
going to keep fighting the
fight, beating the drum.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
FEATURED ONLINE READER COMMENT
Jean shorts are no
laughing matter
TO THE EDITOR:
I am writing to you today
to express my outrage at a
statement printed in the
Quick Hits section on Jan.
16. In it the author stated,
regarding the recent middle
class manufacturing center,
that uniforms will include
either camo or jorts. The
tone of the article was
extremely offensive.
As a resident of North
Carolina, I know of no
greater garment than the
jean shorts, or jorts, as
they are known colloquially.
It provides the protection
of a standard pair of dun-
garees with the style and
airflow afforded by a pair of
short trousers. It has many
forms, from the daisy
dukes made famous by the
popular adventure show
The Dukes of Hazzard, to
the more traditional, pleat-
ed long-rise jean shorts
showcased by Tea Party
protesters in the stifling
heat of our nations capital.
It concerns me that the
newspaper of this great
university would choose to
tarnish the reputation of
jean shorts a staple of this
great states fashion heri-
tage. I fully expect a written
apology from the editorial
board as well as a spirited
and courteous discussion in
the online comments.

McCrory is part of the
problem for teachers
TO THE EDITOR:
(Teachers) just feel like
theyre walked over. A lot
of teachers feel like theyre
taken for granted.
Gov. Pat McCrory made
this statement earlier this
week while discussing his
plan to increase the salary
of mathematics and science
teachers in North Carolina.
This is good news for North
Carolina, which ranks 46
out of 50 states in teacher
pay. And being someone
who wants to teach math at
the high school level, this
got me really excited then
I read the rest of the article.
In his plan, there is
nothing that mentions an
increase in teacher pay for
those in subjects outside
the realm of math and sci-
ence. What is he saying to
those that teach English,
history or fine arts?
Governor, this plan is
evidence that you are part
of the problem. You are the
one walking over teach-
ers and taking them for
granted. Instead of lifting
up those in only math and
science, why not reward
teachers of all disciplines?
Remember, teachers are the
ones who made it possible
for you to become Governor
in the first place.
Even though I would ben-
efit from this plan, I dont
know if I can work in a state
that rewards some teachers
while devaluing others.

The
Carolina
Way to
Spain
M
y early attempts at
crowdsourcing on
Facebook for clever
column tagline ideas gave
me gems like, In My Mind
Im Going to Caroline and
LeLand of the Pines.
Though not quite what I
was looking for, I liked that
the suggested name/school/
state-related puns hinted at
some of the things that are
central to my identity: who I
am and where I come from. I
also wanted my tagline to con-
vey where Im going to be for
the next five months of my life:
the University of Navarra in
Pamplona, Spain.
So I went with a Spanish
translation of a classic
Carolina phrase. Maybe youve
heard of The Carolina Way?
In Spain, it would be known as
El Camino Carolina.
According to the Carolina
Annual Fund, The Carolina
Way reflects the spirit of this
University: excellence with
integrity and heart. We all
know The Carolina Way is a
cultural pillar that unites us
in a shared expectation of the
general quality and trust one
can find here at UNC.
But Im a Public Relations
major who also knows that
a lot of those nice-sounding
words are BS. We see cracks
and holes in the veneer. And
that goes for anything gain-
ing a more critical eye is an
unavoidable (and not necessar-
ily regrettable) part of growing
up. At some point you learn
Taco Bell beef actually isnt,
and then its just not quite as
delicious as it used to be. You
start noticing flaws in your
parents and in other heroes.
You learn ugly secrets about
your best friend.
Sometimes we need to
accept those flaws and secrets
we find in the world around
us, because we all have plenty
of our own. And sometimes
we need to highlight them and
work to change them. When
my glorious freshman-year
honeymoon phase at UNC
started to wear off, I didnt love
UNC any less. I recognized
that it was real, and I loved it
even more because I could talk
about problems I saw, knowing
I would be heard.
I want to celebrate whats
good in the world, to applaud
and rejoice in the inspiring peo-
ple and beautiful moments Im
sure Ill encounter in Spain (just
as I do in the States). But I dont
want to ignore the ugly either. In
finding a balance of both, I want
this column to be a space that
sparks conversation thought-
ful conversation that might even
lead to positive change.
This semester Ill be explor-
ing a country with a deep and
fascinating history and a royal
family tangled in an unprec-
edented fraud scandal. Ill get
to know a place with an unem-
ployment rate stubbornly above
25 percent and a people known
for their fiery enthusiasm for
life. The specific topics Ill find
to write about here will prob-
ably be as varied as the myriad
interpretations you can find
of The Carolina Way. I can
only know theyll be based on
whatever I find on my journey
through the individual chal-
lenges and adventures I expect
to have in this semester abroad.
I hope youll follow along
as I wander and wonder
seeking my Carolina Way
throughout the limitless poten-
tial of a semester in Spain.

n comparison to
last years absolute
downpour of discus-
sion about how to handle
sexual assault on campus,
the little information dis-
seminated this semester
seems like a trickle in
comparison.
A year ago, UNC helped
launch a national con-
versation about sexual
assault, yet the student
body has received very
little concrete information
about how sexual assault
will be handled in the
future.
The latest campus-wide
email about Sexual Assault
was sent on Dec. 17, yet
Reform is overdue
EDITORIAL
it held an unsatisfying
amount of news on the
subject, only reporting on
changes decided upon a
month prior, agreeing that
adjudication would hap-
pen through panels that
would not feature students.
As of August 2012, the
student-led honor court
was removed from sexual
assault, effectively remov-
ing students from these
discussions. To then say
again, over a year later,
that students would not be
involved is nothing more
than a clarification.
The sexual assault task
force has been meeting
since May. The search for
a new Title IX Compliance
Coordinator has been
completed for months .
The administration has
not yet clarified what the
true role of the Title IX
office will be going for-
ward. The office would do
well to explain their goals
and time frame.
The longer it takes to
draft a conclusive policy,
the less time the campus
including students, fac-
ulty, the Board of Trustees
and student government
has to vet it.
Those who were stu-
dents, protesting and
obsessing, at the height
of discussion on sexual
assault may well be alum-
ni by the time a policy is
rendered, taking them
out of the equation all
together. All members of
this campus are affected
by the way UNC handles
sexual assault and deserve
to know what to expect
from the task force.
Signs of progress
on sexualt assualt
should come soon.
I
ndividuals who fre-
quently visit friends
and family being
treated at UNC Hospitals
not only have to sacrifice
their time, but also a sig-
nificant sum of money.
Under current pricing
strategies put in place by
the Department of Public
Safety, visitors must pay a
maximum of $8 a day in
parking fees. These charg-
es put a burden on guests,
and it is essential that
UNC address this issue by
replicating the practices of
nearby hospitals.
Duke Hospital,
WakeMed Hospital and
Reasonable rate
EDITORIAL
Novant Health have
addressed this undue hard-
ship by making extended
parking permits avail-
able to frequent visitors.
Visitors to Duke Hospital
are required to pay a
daily parking fee of $6.
However, a 10-day reduced
rate is available for $25.
UNC should follow suit
and implement a similar
pricing strategy that would
reduce parking prices for
five or 10-day increments.
This would make parking
more accessible to visitors
in terms of affordability.
Hospital social workers
assist with any transpor-
tation-related needs the
families of patients have.
However, they must also
address problems related to
these peoples access to food
and shelter. If DPS were to
address this issue at its root,
these social workers could
focus more on the basic
needs of these individuals.
This reform could
potentially interest non-
visitors looking to bypass
expensive parking permits
needed elsewhere on cam-
pus by parking at the hos-
pital instead.
However, this issue
could easily be avoided by
offering a limited number
of reduced-rate parking
permits per long-term
patient.
This adjustment would
allow those looking to use
parking services for an
extended period of time

A
proposed change
to the honor code
allowing students
to erase an XF grade
which denotes failure of a
course due to academic dis-
honesty from their tran-
scripts provides an effective
punitive middle ground.
As the faculty council
continues to discuss the
details of the reform, the
emphasis should be on
maintaining a system that
doesnt just punish stu-
dents that commit trans-
gressions, but also serves
an educative purpose.
The proposal would
allow students to eliminate
XFs if they pass a full
academic semester and
Grant a second chance
EDITORIAL
take a class that teaches
academic integrity.
The previous system, in
which students found guilty
of academic dishonesty
were often handed semes-
ter-long suspensions, was
largely viewed as too harsh,
and thus many professors
opted to take punishment
into their own hands, for-
going the honor court.
This new XF system is
more forgiving with regards
to academic standing, as
students given an XF are
put on academic probation
however, an irremovable
mark on a transcript is akin
to branding these students
for life, which is overkill.
As of now, determining
whether the guilty students
simply receive a zero on
the assignment in question
or an XF in the course is
left up to the professors.
Leaving such a serious
and potentially lasting con-
sequence up to the whims
of a professor that is often
personally invested in the
academic dishonesty with-
out any chance of expung-
ing the XF would be an
inconsistent and subjective
way to levy sanctions.
Combining retributive
justice with restorative
justice by not only giving
the student a failing grade
in the course, but also giv-
ing them an opportunity to
learn from their mistakes
in this academic integrity
course, is the most effective
form of punishment.
While academic dis-
honesty should by no
means be taken lightly, a
single occurrence in college
shouldnt be sufficient to
mark someone as a cheat-
er for future employers.
Punishment and
