Thorp with a copy of their stated grievances
regarding UNC’s treatment of housekeepers
and workers on campus.
The group outlined its concerns in a griev-

University’s Wage-Hour policy, which prohibits
unauthorized rests by workers.
The policy came under scrutiny after eight
housekeepers faced disciplinary action this
summer for sitting on the job without notify-
ing their supervisors beforehand. University
employees are provided two 15-minute breaks
and a one-hour lunch break under the policy
and are required to receive approval for any

About one week after reports of
a cracking sound from a portion of
the Davis Library roof, a mountain
of scaffolding now stretches to the
library’s eighth floor.
The scaffolding, which was
erected during the weekend, will
be used as part of a potentially
four-week long construction proj-
ect that will temporarily close an
eighth floor study lounge.
Otherwise, very little will be
affected by the construction, said
Susan Wrenn, the facilities man-

Wrenn added that no other
areas of Davis Library appear to
be at risk.

Under the plan, UNC-system
schools are not allowed to raise
tuition for resident undergraduates
by more than 6.5 percent.
This year, as the plan nears expi-
ration and the state faces a budget
deficit, administrators are consid-
ering raising the tuition-increase
cap to more than 6.5 percent.
John Davis, a board member,
said it’s important to hear stu-

reviewing the plan.
“If I had to guess. I think 90 per-

He said that while the board

The house was half-empty by

a plastic tub loaded with fresh nectarines for
his third grade class.
“I know I would rather eat candy, but
fruits and vegetables help me focus in
school,” he said.
Simpson and other students at New
Hope Elementary School are the first in the
county to benefit from U.S. Department
of Agriculture funds to participate in the
Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Program, which
began at the school this week.
The school received $31,194 for the year
in federal funds for the program, which aims
to introduce elementary school students to
healthy foods by providing them with fresh
produce daily.
Only elementary schools are eligible for
the program, which began in its current
form in 2008. In order to qualify, more than
50 percent of a school’s students must have
free or reduced lunch.
Kim Kelleher, a guidance counselor at the
school since it opened its doors in 1980, spear-
headed the effort to receive the funding.
“I first learned about it when my principal
sent me an e-mail last May,” Kelleher said.
“As soon as I heard about it, I just started
contacting the different principle players.”
Kelleher said she started working on the
application process, which involved submit-
ting written responses to seven prompts, in
summer 2009.
That fall, she formed a committee that
included school and district officials, physi-
cal education teachers and cafeteria staff to
brainstorm responses to the prompts, which
the group submitted in February.
Three months later, the school got its
answer.
“I was teaching a class to get ready for
testing, and that was when Mrs. Rumley
came,” Kelleher said.
“When she announced that we had won
the grant, I was just so excited.”
New Hope’s principal, Cathy Rumley, said
teachers and staff hope to use to program to
foster healthy eating habits in the children as
well as combat childhood obesity, for which
the state is ranked 11th in the nation.
Rumley also said officials expect the pro-
gram to improve students’ performance in
school.
“We thought this would really be a good
way to educate kids as well as their parents,”
Rumley said. “Maybe it will encourage par-
ents and children not to bring potato chips.”
District Child Nutrition Director Valerie
Green said the school will pay for the produce
up front and be reimbursed through two pay-
ments at the ends of September and June.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT)—
A BP internal investigation
released Wednesday concludes
that eight key factors contributed
to the explosion of the Deepwater
Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of
Mexico, including a poor cement
job by Halliburton and the failure
by Transocean workers to notice
for 40 minutes that oil and gas
were gushing into the well.
BP’s probe acknowledges that a
key BP official aboard the rig mis-
interpreted a critical pressure test
and then mistakenly authorized
the removal of heavy drilling mud
— the only impediment to gas and
crude oil surging up the well’s drill
pipe — before the well’s integrity
was confirmed.
The investigation concluded,
however, that the well’s design
was sound and didn’t contribute
to the explosion, which killed 11
rig workers and sent more than
four million barrels of oil spew-
ing into the Gulf over nearly three
months — the worst oil spill in
U.S. history.
Both Halliburton and

denounced the conclusions.
“This is a self-serving report
that attempts to conceal the criti-
cal factor that set the stage for the
... incident: BP’s fatally flawed well
design,”
Transocean said in a statement.
“In both its design and construc-
tion, BP made a series of cost-sav-

Staff, locals attend ribbon-cutting
By Caitlin McGinnis
Staff Writer
The Daily Tar Heel staff and
community members gathered
Wednesday to cut a long Carolina
blue ribbon commemorating the
newspaper’s downtown office.
Officials and staff from the
Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of
Commerce sponsored the celebra-
tion.
“It’s very exciting and great news
for downtown,” said Aaron Nelson,
president and CEO of the chamber.
“It will bring more than 100 stu-
dents downtown, enliven the area
and have a positive effect on area
restaurants.”
The office moved in June from a
space in the Frank Porter Graham
Student Union — its location of 40
years — to 151 E. Rosemary St.
The move more than doubled
the space to almost 6,500 square
feet and features a multimedia stu-
dio, conference room and a larger
space for advertising staff to help
the paper expand.
“We will be able to cover more
ground as a sales force and have
more space for our marketing team,
which will help us cater our distribu-
tion to the Carolina community,” said
Megan McGinity, advertising and
marketing director for the paper.
“Our digital-only sales team will
also have space. I also expect our
revenue to increase.”
Editor-in-Chief Sarah Frier, who
held the ceremonial giant scissors,
said the transition off campus was
easier than anticipated.
“At the DTH we are trying to
be better every day,” she said. “The
new office is a better setting for
that exchange of ideas.”
157 E. ROSEMARY ST. (UPSTAIRS)
Frier said The Daily Tar Heel is
also taking steps to increase safety
for staff members walking home at
night.
“The new office is a trek from
places like South Campus,” she
said. “But we have parking passes
after 5 p.m. for editors, a potential
crosswalk in front of the office and
the P2P bus stop was moved closer
to our office.”
And despite moving downtown,
Frier said the newspaper received
about 160 applications, in line with
the usual amount.
“The office is such a good work-
ing environment and it’s not much
farther from the journalism school
than it was before,” she said.
“I think people will always come
to the DTH. It’s the best place to
get journalism experience and now
we have the space to do it.”

See the McKay speaker series See Megafaun get groovy

Alongside the packed music lineup, Hopscotch will feature
three free speaker series sponsored by Edward McKay Used
Books & More throughout the weekend.
Ranging in topics from North Carolina’s music heritage to
hip-hop and its impact on society, the events will take place in
the Raleigh City Museum in the late afternoon.
Grayson Currin, music editor for The Independent Weekly
and Hopscotch co-mastermind will moderate two of the dis-
cussions.
The events feature artists like Andrew Whiteman of Broken
Social Scene, who will read selections from his upcoming book
Tourisim and participate in a panel discussion with local
poets.
Other speakers include Phil Cook of Megafaun, Durham’s
9th Wonder, and Christopher R. Weingarten, author of a new
book on Public Enemy’s It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold
Us Back.
— Joseph Chapman
The Megafaun guys have been known to jam before,
but Hopscotch marks an unprecedented opportunity to
watch this band steer its winding instrumentals in new
directions.
It’s an equation we could only dream up — the Raleigh
three-piece will be joined by fellow musical greats Marissa
Nadler, the Jeb Bishop Trio, Greg Davis & Ben Vida, Ned
Rothenburg and Keith Fullerton Whitman.
There are plenty of rumors swirling around this set.
Will it be the last Megafaun show of the year in the
Triangle? Will there be some unannounced guests in typi-
cal Megafaun style?
No one can say for sure, but we can guarantee that this
won’t be your typical Dave Matthews-style groove session.
An opportunity to see musicians this talented improvis-
ing and collaborating with friends in an intimate, casual
environment is a rare one —one that you shouldn’t miss.
— Linnie Greene

See events without a wristband

We know the story. You were going to get a ticket —really, you
were —but then this weekend snuck up on you and you realized
that wristbands were sold out.
We’re not going to rub it in your face (much). Luckily, there
are plenty of Hopscotch-related events and activities that don’t
require a wristband, some of which are completely free.
If you’re looking to get the most bang for your nonexistent
buck, day parties are an ideal way to see big local and national
names. For more info on schedule day parties, see Dive’s cover-
age on page nine.
But if you’re willing to part with a little cash, the options get
more varied. There are tickets available for some individual
shows, including headliners Public Enemy and local favorites
The Rosebuds, on Hopscotch’s website. The Edward McKay
speaker series is another opportunity to catch famed authors,
musicians and experts for a smaller fee.

See Danny Perez’s ‘Oddsac’ See Public Enemy headline

Hopscotch will take place throughout Downtown Raleigh.
Here are some addresses to help you navigate:
Kings Barcade: 14 W. Martin St.
Slim’s: 227 S. Wilmington St.
Berkeley Café: 217 W. Martin St.
Deep South: 430 S. Dawson St.
Lincoln Theater: 126 E. Cabarrus St.
The Pour House: 224 S. Blount St.
Tir Na Nog: 218 S. Blount St.
Five Star: 511 W. Hargett St.
The Hive: 225 S. Wilmington St.
City Plaza: 400 block, Fayetteville St.
By 3 p.m. tomorrow afternoon, there’s a good chance that
Hopscotch patrons will relish the chance to sit down and relax
in Galaxy Cinema.
At only $5 admission, the screening of the Danny Perez/
Animal Collective collaboration “Oddsac” will probably be
cheaper than your lunch, and it’s certainly more trippy. It defi-
nitely beats the $15 cost of a ticket to the Chapel Hill screening
last spring.
For the music fans that will populate Downtown Raleigh
over the weekend, “Oddsac” should provide an intriguing
dichotomy of Pitchfork-approved sounds and weird imagery.
It’s likely to be a welcome respite from three days of crowded
bars, loud venues and a downtown packed with festival-goers
and artists.
We’d suggest heading to the theater to take a break before
Panda Bear co-headlines later that night. Perez will host a
question and answer session following the film.
— Linnie Greene
Putting indie rockers No Age and The Love Language on the
same bill as aggressive hip hop legends Public Enemy might
seem like an uncomfortable combination at first.
The three bands and their wide ranging sounds are sure to
bring with them three very different audiences Saturday night
in downtown Raleigh.
But a diverse turnout is exactly what Public Enemy front-
man Chuck D. has been fighting for since the group hit the
scene in the late ’80s. From the rap group’s first tour with the
Beastie Boys, the band has tried to bridge the gap between
rock, hip hop and their respective audiences.
Synthesized guitar sounds and classic rock MPC loops domi-
nate tracks like “Rebel Without a Pause,” a snarky comeback to
rock-loving hip hop phobists.
So don’t be afraid — weird art punk, jangly sweetheart rock
and explosive raps will certainly make for an interesting per-
formance at Raleigh’s City Plaza.
— Joseph Chapman

See where you can get in under 21

Wondering which venues you’ll be able to get in during
Hopscotch?
All shows at Raleigh City Plaza, The Lincoln Theatre and
Berkeley Cafe have no age restrictions. Kings, Five Star and
Tir Na Nog, however, are 18 and up.
Have your ID ready if you plan to attend shows at Deep
South Bar, Slim’s, The Hive @ Busy Bee or The Pour House
— even if you don’t plan on consuming alcohol, these venues
won’t let you in if you’re under 21.
Admission to club venues is limited to the legal capacity of
each establishment. If you arive at a show that is filled to the
brim, you’ll have to take your place in line, walk or hop on the
free R-Line to another one of Hopscotch’s great venues.
And make sure you leave your backpacks, bicycles, chairs
coolers, food, pets, SLR cameras and weapons at home, as all
of these items are strictly prohibited inside of the City Plaza.

‘Machete’ slices at immigration politics

Blends absurdity with commentary
by jonathan pattishall
staff writer
After watching “Machete” I
wonder what’s wrong with Robert
Rodriguez, but I don’t wonder long.
The all-terrain movie man has run
laps around any idea we have of
Hollywood decency. He cashes in
as director of the Spy Kids fran-
chise on odd-numbered years and
collaborates with bloody Quentin
Tarantino on the even ones. So
what’s he getting at? What’s his
game?
With “Machete,” the game is
clear: Americanizing an under-
appreciated genre dear to the
d i r e c t o r ’s h e a r t . It ’s c a l l e d
“Mexploitation,” and from the first
machete-wielding roundhouse
decapitation it gives no quarter.
The movie is one long string of
campy gore, shoot-outs, souped-up
lowriders from the barrio, T&A,
racist politicians, more T&A and
lots of beautiful women bedded by
one of the ugliest movie heroes in
recent history.
The movie takes its name from
the man, and the man from his
favorite weapon: Machete the
ex-Mexican federal agent who
hacked his way through half
of Mexico’s drug cartels with a
machete. So “Machete” is B-grade
and proud of it.
“Proud” also describes the
film’s reactionary Texas Senator
McLaughlin, a hard-liner against
immigration who takes to vigilant
border patrol with his fringe sup-
porters. McLaughlin’s campaign
ads promise an “electrified border
fence” and “no amnesty for para-
sites,” which would be funny if it
weren’t such an uncanny parallel to
contemporary American politics.
Echoes of Arizona’s real-life
immigration debacle abound in
“Machete,” but so does the very
best script-writing that exploita-
tion budgets can buy (although
Rodriguez himself co-wrote
the script). The back-and-forth
between immigration officer
Sartana (Jessica Alba) and revo-
Moviereview
machete
lutionary taco-truck driver Luz
(Michelle Rodriguez) is charged
with comedy, eroticism and politi-
cal double entendre.
Between the two drop-dead
gorgeous Mexicanas and all the
other distracting explosions and
ridiculous self-mockery, it’s easy
to overlook the movie’s surprising
political sophistication — surpris-
ing not because we didn’t know
Rodriguez could be sophisticated,
but because we don’t really know
why he bothers.
What with a couple of good shots
of Lindsay Lohan’s vastly overrated
tachitos, most directors would be
content to let the film’s significance
slip by the wayside. In a way, it’s too
funny and just too damn fun to have
any deeper meaning. No moral can
be extracted from a movie whose
hero uses a man’s long intestine as
an escape rope.
And yet, it’s partially this sil-
liness that lends “Machete” its
poignancy. Machete doesn’t really
care about any mission or senator
or border fence. Those things are
distractions, and he’s got real work
to find.
But if you try to take advantage
of his immigration status, then this
righteous Mexican will be knocking
on your door with a weed wacker
from hell.
Trapped in the crazy world of
U.S. immigration policy, Machete
is the natural response to our
impoverished discourse.
So look out Joe Arpaio, and you
too, Janet Napolitano. Hopefully you
guard your intestines better than you
guard your borders, because Machete
is coming for you.

Any true restaurateur will tell
you that atmosphere is everything.
Stouffer’s freeze-dried lasagna will
taste like Italy’s finest if the setting
is romantic enough.
Furthering Europe’s tradition
of treating its cinema like its food,
Dutch filmmaker Anton Corbijn
offers tense quietism and effulgent
cinematography without preparing
much meat and potatoes. But with
George Clooney’s perfect lead per-
formance, the film leaves you more
than full.
C l o o n e y p o r t ray s Ja c k , a
remorseful hitman whose final
assignment is to hide out in the
Italian countryside and create a
one-of-a-kind rifle. But when he
accepts the friendship of a saga-
cious priest (Paolo Bonacelli) and
the affections of a gorgeous Italian
prostitute (Violante Placido), the
spotlight shifts from the mission
to the man.
Picturesque, character-driven
dramas like this one are hard to
make without sinking into airy
portraiture. Fortunately, Corbijn
draws from European master-
works (including Bertolucci’s “Il
Conformista”) to seduce audiences
into quaint realism without forgo-
ing the story.
Much like Jack, the viewer is
enchanted by Italy’s rich aesthet-
ics, but not enough to lose the
angst that hitmen must bear at
all times. This is due in part to
Clooney, who blends longing and
grief without resorting to stoicism
that “poetically” crumbles when it’s
convenient.
Behind passing glances, forced
smiles and even coffee sips, Clooney
whispers the anguish of past crimes
and present perils.
His burial of pain marks the
tragic masquerade that manages
to engross viewers throughout even
the longest and stillest of scenes.
But Clooney can’t do everything
— including a script rewrite in
which his scenes with both priest
and prostitute yield meaningful
insights. Jack’s nascent fervor for
life is never justified by such insip-
id, if moody, scenes. Corbijn’s travel
book of a film has room for at least
a few more words.
And thrills. Much to Corbijn’s
credit, Jack’s daily minutiae is over-
laid by intense paranoia, but rarely
are the stakes raised much higher.
Instead, frothy scenes of romance
poke at Jack’s protective shell. Even
though their dramatic marvels out-
shine their narrative obstructions,
these static scenes ultimately serve
as unnecessary relief from the film’s
tragic tone.
Served on a silver platter of sty-
listic grandeur, this affecting film
lacks a few of its courses but sati-
ates with emotional wallop.

A Q&A WITH PUBLIC ENEMY’S CHUCK D

For this week’s Hopscotch cov-
erage, assistant editor Joseph
Chapman checked in with Public
Enemy front man Chuck D to chat
about politics, Flavor Flav and
“personal songs.”
Dive: One of the first critiques
people inevitably make about your
show is that ‘you’re too old.’ What’s
your response to this criticism?
Chuck D: Those are usu-
ally people that have never seen us
before or might have seen us 20 or
25 years ago. They have no contex-
ture to put us in. So when they see
us they probably won’t even under-
stand what they are looking at.
What’s too old, what’s too
young? If somebody is 14 and they
come out and say the same rhymes
as somebody who is 30, can they
say that person is too young?
We have our own standards,

songs do us. And that’s also very
hard to do. And we know that no
one else can do them. Except for

Q&A WITH SUPERCHUNK’S MAC McCAUGHAN
Twenty-one years is a long time
— long enough that most UNC
students weren’t here to witness
Superchunk’s rise to notoriety.
Regardless, the band’s influence
endures, and with a new record
out Tuesday, the local outfit is set
to further its impact on local and
national music.
This week, Diversions Editor
Linnie Greene chatted with
guitarist and vocalist Mac
McCaughan about running
Merge Records and how Pro
Tools can fix (almost) anything.
Diversions: What were
some of your influences on the new
record?
Mac McCaughan: That’s
a good question. I mean certainly
the ideas for the songs are ours
and everything, but I think that
you definitely hear — I don’t know
if summation is the right word,
but you hear a combination of all
the stuff that we all listen to. And
I think that on the new record,
in terms of newer music, I think
frankly I’m really influenced by the
stuff we put out on Merge, because
it’s the stuff I listen to the most. I
think that bands that are kind of
our peers, like Spoon or younger
bands like Telekinesis that we
work with, bands that write great
songs and play them in a way that
is, that there’s a certain energy to
it that involves you. I think bands
like that are certainly influential on
what we do.
Dive: Has running a record
label impacted the way you write
your own music?
MM: I don’t think it’s really
influenced the way we write music.
I think it’s influenced the way that
we work as a band in terms of the
business side, but I think the influ-
ence might go more the other way,
in terms of running a label as art-
ists. You can see things from both
sides.
Dive: What’s different about
Majesty Shredding as opposed to
past Superchunk records?
MM: I think one thing that’s
really different about this record
than the last album we did — that
record was called Here’s to Shutting
Up. And that record and the ones
before it, we’d really written all
together as a band just playing a
lot in the rehearsal space, basically
jamming until we had songs, and
I would add lyrics on top of that.
With the new record, we were not
in the position to work that way
because everyone’s so busy. So for
the new record, I made demos of

songs and sent them around to the
band so they could hear them and
come up with parts, and we’d just
get together and rehearse a couple
of times before recording. In some
ways it’s more like our first couple
of records.
And the title is a joke that start-
ed when we were in the studio. We
recorded all the songs live to tape,
and the producer, Scott Solter —
we were listening to playback with
him to see if it was a take we should
keep or if we needed to fix some-
thing, and so we started this joke
where if we heard a fuck-up on our
part, we’d say, “Oh, you can fix that
with the ‘Majesty Shredding’ app
in Pro Tools, right?” We joked that
there was an app that would make
everything sound awesome called
“Majesty Shredding,” and it ended
up being the title.

Superchunk still
shreds masterfully
Indeed, there’s
an app for that.
by joe faile
staff writer
To some, a ‘majestic shredding’
would entail a sundown mincing
of bills and credit cards. For others,
it might signify the inaugural drop
into a skate park vert ramp.
Superchunk has come up with a
more appealing possibility with its
latest release. Majesty Shredding is
a definitive gamut of indie-punk-
pop rapture encompassed in 42
relentlessly catchy minutes.
Superchunk, patron saint of the
Chapel Hill music scene, is back
with a vengeance on its ninth stu-
dio album, nine years after its last
full-length release.
As both pioneers and emblems of
’90s indie rock, Majesty Shredding
demonstrates that the band isn’t
content to rely on the same sound
and formula that made it famous.
The new record is fast-paced, up-
tempo and as innovative as any
younger Pitchfork competitor, but
it’s honed by a sense of experience
and know-how that many new art-
ists lack.
But where youthful acts often fall
back on filler, Superchunk’s latest is
an exercise in precision and consis-
tency.
The band flexes a Darwinian
mentality in regards to creativ-
coutesy of merge records/jason arthurs ity —in the realm of indie rock, it’s
clear that Superchunk continues to
evolve.

MUSICreview
superchunk
majesty shredding
punk
vocals, quaking drums and raging
guitars supporting a striking com-
ing-of-age story.
As the second track on the
record, it’s a blind-siding punch
that addresses timeless ideas with a
rapid, energetic melody that cycles
through your mind long after the
song has ended.
The centerpiece of Majesty
Shredding, “Fractures in Plaster,”
features clandestinely woven strings.
It may seem unorthodox on a punk
rock album, but in the context of
the track, it’s an ideal counterpart
to Mac McCaughan’s whine and
the rest of the band’s hard-rocking
instrumentation.
This is the album’s real knockout,
a change of pace that’s a refreshing
shift from the sound some listeners
expect.
But this isn’t to say the record
is a complete departure. Fans
of Superchunk’s past work will
find some familiar territory in
McCaughan’s distinct voice and
Ballance’s thrumming bass line.
Songs like “Winter Games” and
“Everything At Once” evoke the
group’s early ’90s material, a
sobered counterpart to the rest of
the record’s experimentation.
Still, the latter half of the album
is less intoxicating than the begin-
ning. It casts fewer hooks, but lays
down a heavy dose of lyrical gambit
that sustains the listener’s interest,
at the very least.
After more than two decades, it’s
often hard to detect the fervor and
vitriol that first sparks many suc-
cessful rock groups.
But Superchunk is a notable
exception — the band’s latest is
sonic proof that gray hairs might
be the only thing that’s aged about
them.
The album’s solid fruition is a
zenith of progress that has been 21
years in the making.
Though the band experiments
on its recent release, Superchunk’s
pop-punk roots are still intact —
and if Majesty Shredding is any
proof, this local band is still dig-
ging deeper.

days of the festival.
But on a simpler level, Hopscotch
volunteers are the most tangible
representation of the work it takes
to plan an intricate, time-consum-
ing event.
“It’s not going to be me who is
interacting with the fans at the
doors and it’s not going to be me
who is taking tickets at City Plaza
— it’s them,” said Lowenhagen. “In
a way, when you have to throw a
team together to pull an event off,
they become sort of the face of your
event.”
Although volunteers filled out
an application and were inter-
viewed via e-mail or telephone,
Lowenhagen said that they were
simply looking for people who
were excited about the festival’s
prospects and who could handle
the expected responsibilities.
Volunteers attended man-
datory training to explain the
general schedule and empha-
size the importance of commit-
ment. Gretchen Gaskill, one of
four unpaid Independent Weekly
interns working with Hopscotch,
headed up the volunteer coordinat-
ing and scheduling.
“I’ve learned a lot of things about
logistics, and I’ve pretty much
focused for the last six or seven
months on the volunteer aspect of
it, which I had absolutely no expe-
rience going into it,” said Gaskill.
Despite the complicated logis-
tics involved, organizers hope that
the volunteers will aid in making
the festival run smoothly.
“The most important thing the
volunteers can do is to make people
feel like they had a good time and
to make it so we can do this again
next year,” said Gaskill.
For Lowenhagen, one of the
most impressive facets of the vol-
unteers is their willingness to give
freely of their time and energy.
“It’s really pretty amazing when
they give their time to something
that, really, they haven’t been work-
ing on like we have for 14 months.
In some ways we are working on
it for 14 months behind the scenes
super hard, and then they turn
around and work just as hard on it
for three days, and it is almost just
as important.”

HOROSCOPES
If September 9th is Your Birthday...
Your favorite person faces big
challenges this year. Get ideas from all group
members for problem solving. Your attitude
helps to lift spirits and maintain a more
optimistic perspective. You still have time
to pursue your own goals with flair.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is a 6 - Someone close to you
experiences a depressing moment. To
shift the mood, offer alternative plans
of action that they are blind to.
Taurus (April 20--May 20)
Today is a 7 - Someone begins the day
in a funk. You can shift that by providing
independent activities that emphasize
personal strengths.
Gemini (May 21--June 21)
Today is a 7 - Today’s actions take place
in your mind’s eye. The variety of pos-
sibilities is endless. Come down to earth
tomorrow after a night of dreams.
Cancer (June 22--July 22)
Today is a 6 - Your imagination carries
you away, and that’s all right. Today you
hatch new plans and wait until later to
put them into action. Enjoy the process.
Leo (July 23--Aug. 22)
Today is a 9 - Recall a dream or create
one today as you seek excitement in a
relationship. Doubt falls away as you
move closer. Generate and amplify the
energy to build it up.
Virgo (Aug. 23--Sept. 22)
Today is a 6 - Where relationships are
concerned, you’re on a roll this week.
Continue that trend by working to balance
your urge for independence with passion.

Obama outlines proposal for infrastructure

by daniel wiser
staff writer
Pr e s i d e n t B a r a c k O b a m a
announced Wednesday another
effort to boost the still-sinking
economy.
Obama outlined a new eco-
nomic proposal — which includes
spending $50 billion in infrastruc-
ture investments and a permanent
extension of research and develop-
ment tax credits.
The plan aims to create jobs and
sustain long-term economic growth
by investing federal funds in trans-
portation infrastructure including
roads, railways and runways.
The proposed funds could funnel
down to states like North Carolina
— where the unemployment rate
is 9.8 percent — and create jobs in
the construction sector.
“There are great needs for our
transportation infrastructure,”
said N.C. Sen. Charles Albertson,
D-Duplin in a phone interview.
Although Albertson said he has
yet to fully analyze the bill’s poten-
tial for the state economy, he said
he expects it to improve the econ-
omy nationwide.
“And any time you can put
people to work, it has a positive
effect on unemployment rates,”
he said.
It remains to be seen how the
proposed funds will directly affect
the state’s economy and the unem-

“The question is whether the dent is coming from and why we

but we should primarily focus on
improving what we already have in
place,” he said.
Some say the president’s recent
economic policies could be just a
way of gaining positive coverage for
the Democrats before the midterm
elections.
Democrats in both the U.S.
House of Representatives and the
Senate are expected to lose many
seats in November, threatening the
majority they currently hold.
“Doing some thing is be t-
ter than doing nothing at all,”
said political science professor
Thomas Carsey.
Carsey also said the Republicans
will likely use stalling techniques
to prevent the stimulus bill from
passing.
“Republicans won’t want to give
Democrats a legislative victory so
close to an election.”
But U.S. Rep. David Price,
D -N.C., told UNC s tudents
Wednesday the plan is a start and
an effort by Obama to reach across
party lines.
“We’re certainly not in a posi-
tion to declare victory,” Price
said. “What he’s trying to do is a
short-term plan with a desirable
impact that reaches out to the
other side.”

Hinson Neville
The Freshman perspective
Freshman business major from
Roanoke Rapids.
E-mail: hinson.neville@UNC.EDU
Really
though,
who are
you?
H
i, my name is Hinson
Neville, and I’m a
freshman prospective
business major from Roanoke
Rapids, N.C. living in Granville
Towers — and if I have to give
this spiel one more time, I just
might vomit.
I’m hesitant to believe that
first day introductions in a class
of 300 students served any pur-
pose at all, other than to make
the students in the class margin-
ally better at reciting their own
names and hometowns.
Then there are the late-night
handshakes and exchanges of
slurred identities at the “dry”
rush festivities that no one will
remember come morning.
Let’s not leave out our class-
mates who sit
Freshman next to us in our
COLUMNIST early morning
classes. Each
Monday, Wednesday and Friday
at 9 a.m., my classmate ritually
asks me my name and insists that
I go through my aforementioned
introduction to prove to him that
we had indeed met before.
The truth is, at that hour, no
one cares who you are or where
you’re from unless your name
happens to be Mocha Frap and
your hometown is Starbucks.
Of course, I understand the
importance of introductions
and first impressions, especially
in a sea of 17,891 faces which,
after so many introductions,
all begin to look the same. I’m
equally aware that all friend-
ships have to start somewhere
and that we can’t all just be
“besties” immediately.
But what I want to know is
when do these heinous introduc-
tions slow down? When does the
logistic growth curve of people
met finally level off? I hope it’s
soon. I’m ready to settle down
and actually connect with people
here.
All of the first impressions —
aside from the charming young
lady who drunkenly informed me
that she “could never befriend
one of those snobs in Granville”
— allude to new friendships and
exciting experiences.
One of the most attractive
features about UNC is the diver-
sity of the student body. Many of
these introductions involve peo-
ple of different races, religions
and backgrounds.
Whether you’re the hipster
down the hall or the friendly
Indian woman in my Economics
class, I’m no longer merely trying
to remember your name.
If I were, I’d have to learn
more than 900 names per
week, and to get the whole stu-
dent body, it would take until
December.
I’m eager to find out more
about the journey that brought
you here and the sequence of
events that made our lives inter-
sect.
My patience with small talk
has worn out. My need to feel an
authentic connection to my new
friends on this campus has taken
over.
I no longer feel the need to
meet as many people as possible
in one day and regurgitate their
names when I pass them in the
Pit.
It’s time to start forming these
intimate friendships and really
finding out what it is about UNC
that keeps students wanting to
spend a fifth year in pursuit of
their undergraduate degree.
It’s time to say, “Hey, let’s
talk.”

signs of accelerating.
Though the current state

for the state and university to
push forward on construction
of Carolina North in order for
UNC to remain competitive on
both a national and global level.

through this crisis. And at this
time, oversight is a prudent
course of action.
But the BOG should not
reflexively overreact.
The NCAA is also investi-
gating academic improprieties
within the football program.
The Board does not need to
mandate more rules solely for
the sake of rule making. Giving
into the “something-must-be-
done” mentality would likely
not be helpful.
Tutoring and agent guide-
lines are already in place and
it appears that if they had
been followed adequately,
there would never have been a
problem. Baddour and Thorp
need to make sure the rules are
always followed. In the future
the Board should ensure an
environment that best allows
them to do this.

start-up companies.
Additionally, construction of
a new UNC law school building
was scheduled to be completed
by 2012, but it hasn’t started.
Executive Director of Carolina
North Jack Evans said that he
hopes that the state will fund
that construction in their next
legislative session, but he does
not expect it to do so.
The report, which was
released last week, showed
little or no progress on any
kind of construction on the
new campus. In the last fiscal
year, there have been almost no
advances in the construction of
housing, parking facilities or
land development.

If, however, the results
of the investigation provide
evidence that rules are lack-
ing, then the BOG would be
more justified in revising
present policies. But it must
be kept in mind that doing so
could affect all schools in the
UNC system — not just UNC
Chapel Hill.
We welcome that this issue
is on the BOG’s radar. Their
interest in speaking directly
with Thorp and Baddour is
fine.
But the BOG should — for
now — give the university the
breathing room to solve its
problems internally, rather
than rushing to an external
solution.
If the state truly wants
to prove its commitment to
ensuring that UNC can remain
a globally competitive public
research institution, it needs to
dig deeper in its pocketbooks
for the long-term benefit of the
university and state, and the
University must continue to
fight for it.
Carolina North has promised
to serve as a boon to economic
and research development in
the state. The project stands to
offer significant research and
economic benefits beyond the
University.
This is hardly an opportuni-
ty that should be delayed. We
owe it to future generations of
Tar Heels to continue to move
forward with Carolina North.

DTH coverage of sit-down
policy biased, disrespectful
TO THE EDITOR:
The editorial regarding the no-
sitting policy (“Break busts legiti-
mate,” Aug. 31) is pathetic in the
extreme. The issue is our house-
keepers — who spend their time
performing intense manual labor
just so we can live comfortably —
sometimes, in between bouts of
wiping up our feces, need to rest
momentarily. Is that really so hard
to understand?
Apparently it is, for the edito-
rial board anyway, which supports
the suspension or firing of anyone
caught sitting down outside of two
short, designated break and lunch
periods.
While the board states that
employees receive both a “verbal
warning for the first infraction”
and “a written warning for the sec-
ond infraction,” this is flatly con-
tradicted by Executive Director for
Facilities Services Van Dobson. In
the DTH’s first article (“Sit-down
policy discussed, Aug. 26), Dobson
confirms workers’ complaints that
no warnings were given.
The DTH’s news coverage of
this issue has also presented a
staggeringly biased account. In
the Aug. 31st article “Righting
the ship,” Ryan Barber spends his
time dutifully writing down every-
thing facilities services bosses ask
of him, with the highlight of the
article being a passage comparing
UNC housekeepers to ungrateful
Iraqis.
After this incredibly offensive
remark, Barber goes on to para-
phrase Assistant Housekeeping
Director Tonya Sell’s assertion
that anyone against the no-sitting
policy is in favor of “housekeepers
yelling at students” and coming to
work in “unacceptable dress.” Talk
about a non-sequitur.
This is about respect. The peo-

(CRS). Members of this CRS will
work to advocate on behalf of
the student body by conducting
research and working on outreach
projects. The committee will then
take the information they gather
and present their findings, ideas
and suggestions to the Student
Affairs Committee and full con-
gress.
If you are interested in holding
any of these positions, applica-
tions can be found on the con-
gress website (congress.unc.edu).

Ground Zero mosque can
be built, but shouldn’t
TO THE EDITOR:
Much has been made about
the Park51 Project, an Islamic
community center, including a
mosque, two blocks from Ground
Zero. I support the Constitutional
rights bestowed upon Americans
and understand that supporters
of the mosque enjoy the same
religious freedoms that we all do,
granting them the right to build a
mosque. However, I must simply
ask “Should they build it?”
As a N.Y. State Assemblyman
who represented several of those
who perished on 9/11 and con-
tinue to represent the families
and loved ones of many of those
victims, I believe the decision to
build the mosque at this location
demonstrates tremendous insen-
sitivity.
If one of the goals is to dem-
onstrate that not all Muslims are
extremists, then developers taking
the position that they will not even
consider discussing alternative
locations, despite opposition by a
majority of Americans, they have
made their task more difficult.
Just as the Constitution offers
a preacher in Florida the right
to burn the Quran, most likely
Americans agree that such actions
shouldn’t be taken and will only
cause more religious discord. The
developers of the Ground Zero
mosque should make a distinc-
tion between what they “can” and
“should” do. I, for one, hope that
they choose the latter. Instilling
virtues of tolerance and equal-
ity among Americans is of the
utmost importance, but sympathy
for those who are still coping with
the losses on 9/11 is equally so.
