Flooding to blame fordamage to South Estes

Q&A with Board ofGovernors leader

By Nicole GonzalezStaff Writer

Camelot Village Condominiumresident, Howard West, still wor-ries about reentering his apartmentafter evacuating due to severe flood-ing on Dec. 30.

“They put me in a motel untilMonday,” West said. “But I am nowstaying anywhere I can.”

The UNC-system Board ofGovernors selected Lou Bissetteas chairperson of the boardin December, replacing John Fennebresque, who resigned inOctober. Daily Tar Heel Assistant State and National Editor Corey Risinger tal ked with Bisse tte about future goa ls and ways to reform

the board in the new year, follow-ing frustrations with closed meet-ings and a lack of transparency in2015. 

The Daily Tar Heel: How could the board improve this year?

Lou Bissette: We’ve had a p rettytumultuous year; I’m sure you’reaware of that. I think one reason is

 because we had suc h a tre mendousturnover of board members. I’ve

 been on the board for about fo urand a half years now, and I’m oneof the longest serving board mem- bers — so we’ve ha d a lot of mem- bers. I’m not sure that we knew th etype of education process for new

 board members that I would have

liked to have seen and that I hope we can a ccompli sh in t he future …It’s a complex system and I thinkmore education for our incoming

 board members is very importantand I think we’re going to be doingmore of that, at least while I’mchairman.

DTH: What would you consider a pri-ority in the new year?

LB: I would say successful transi-tion to (Spellings’) presidency inthe next six months is going to beextremely important, and all the

 board members are going to be working to as sist her where we can... You’ll figure out pretty quicklythat she knows as much about high-er education policy in the UnitedStates as anybody ... The thing thatshe needs some help with — andanybody would — and that is get-ting to know the state of NorthCarolina and its people.

DTH: How will the board addressconcerns about transparency?

LB: I know President Spellings isinterested in streaming all of the

 board meetings so that people, wherever they are in the state, can watch the board meeting take place... We’re going to be instituting

that just as quickly as we can froma technical point of view. And the

 board is very interested in beingmore transparent. We had a lot ofdiscussions about closed meetings.

 And although there are certainlysome things that the statutes allow

 boards like ours to discuss in closedsession, we’ve come to the conclu-sion that where possible, we’re goingto air towards more transparencyand more openness in our discus-sions this year.

Lou Bissette isthe newly selectedchairperson of theUNC-system Board ofGovernors. He hopesto lead the board to bemore transparent thanin 2015.

Jan. 4, West has still not been ableto assess the damage in his rented

unit, but said the damage costs willcome out of his own pocket.

 As the water retreated, the Townof Chapel Hill public safety teamsallowed residents of Camelot Villageand Brookwood Condominiums onSouth Estes Drive back into theirhomes, but some of the Camelotapartments, like West’s, were unin-habitable.

Thomas Whisnant, homeownersassociation manager at Brookwood

Women’s basketball endsbreak with Notre Dame loss

 After dropping three of its firstseven games by one possession, theNorth Carolina women’s basketballteam (12-6, 2-1 ACC) ripped off sixstraight victories — including three

 by five or fewer points — beforelosing to Notre Dame on Sunday.The season-long winning streak

culminated in a come-from-behind win over Syracuse, which led UNC10-0 before the Tar Heels mountedtheir comeback. First-year guardStephanie Watts and sophomoreguard Jamie Cherry shared thescoring load throughout the break,as one of the two perimeter threatsled UNC in points in eight of thepast nine games.

More than 2,000 Decembergraduates turn their tassels

On Dec. 13, 2,113 baccalaureate,master’s, professional and doctoralstudents celebrated their degreecompletion in the Smith Center.

In what he said was his lastpublic act as UNC-system presi-dent, Tom Ross congratulated thegraduates and commended the

 work of Chancellor Carol Folt.In her commencement address,STEM lecturer Kelly Hoganstressed the importance of per-spective and seizing opportunities.Hogan used smart phone polls toencourage audience participation.

UNC men’s basketball sitsat 4-0 in ACC play

 After falling to Texas on a buzzer-beater on Dec. 12, theNorth Carolina men’s basketballteam enters Saturday’s gameagainst N.C. State on an eight-game winning streak.

Before he returned for sixth-ranked UNC’s 84-73 win at

Syracuse this past Saturday, junior Kennedy Meeks missedseven games because of a bone

 bruise on his left knee. In his firstgame since Dec. 12, the forwardscored eight points in 14 minutesagainst the Orange.

In Meeks’ absence, seniorforward Brice Johnson carriedthe load for the Tar Heels (15-2,4-0 ACC), averaging 21 points

and 12.4 rebounds per game.His 39-point, 23-rebound per-formance against Florida Stateon Jan. 4 made him the secondplayer in school history to accom-plish the feat.

 With UNC’s win against theOrange, the Tar Heels are 4-0 in

 ACC play for the first time underCoach Roy Williams and for thefirst time since 2001.

BOG protesters call forMargaret Spellings’ dismissal

Students, faculty and com-munity members confronted theUNC-system Board of Governorsduring the last board meetingof 2015, demanding the dis-missal of President-elect MargaretSpellings.

The Dec. 11 meeting at the UNCCenter for School LeadershipDevelopment in Chapel Hillincluded the full board, and for-mer President Tom Ross gavehis final briefing before steppingdown Jan. 3.

“Whatever lies ahead, I urge you to never permit this magnifi-cent state asset — this treasurethat truly belongs to the peopleof North Carolina — to be dimin-ished,” he told board members.

Members of Faculty ForwardNorth Carolina and the UNC-Chapel Hill BOG DemocracyCoalition were among the protest-ers, who eventually moved insidethe building shortly before themeeting began at 9 a.m.

Several board members weredisgruntled at the interruption.Chairperson Lou Bissette threat-ened to kick the protesters out.

DTH: Explain discussionsabout the possibility ofa western N.C. School ofScience and Math campus inMorganton.

LB: Well, let me say this. Ithink our school of Math andScience is a real jewel for thestate and it’s been incrediblysuccessful ... I think a lot o fpeople in the west think thatit will actually contribute toeconomic development inthe western part of the stateparticularly in some of those

rural areas that don’t have alot of economic development.On the other hand, there arethose that want to be surethat this does not dilute thesuccess, the incredible suc-cess of the main campus inDurham. So there has been alittle bit of controversy overthat.

DTH: What are expectationsfor 2016?

LB: I think we’ve got a good board a nd ever ybody is opti-mistic about the new yearand optimistic about our

 working toget her and sup-porting President Spellingsand the university. Anothergoal that I have is to get theBoard of Governors out ofthe newspapers.

the homeowners associationat Camelot Village, said thisarea has faced many issues

 with flooding in the past.This flood caused the

least amount of damage ofthe four floods since 2000,affecting only 20 units, butthe association hopes to finda solution.

Previous floods producedmuch more damage, affect-ing 60 units in July of 2000,21 units in October of 2008,and 72 units in June of 2013.

“The Camelot VillageHomeowners Association

 believes that some floods,

such as the recent one, could be alleviated by improvingthe water flow downstreamfrom Camelot,” Willhoit said.“The culvert under FordhamBoulevard does not appear to

 be of sufficient capacity andacts as a dam, causing waterto back up towards FranklinStreet.”

 Willhoit said in a state-ment that there are severalowners in certain buildings

 who are willing to discuss atown buy-out and mitigationof the flood impacts.

 Willhoit said the property’s

 building B, specifically, is setin the path of running waterfrom Bolin Creek, and whenthe water level rises, it is thefirst to be affected.

 West, a resident of buildingB, said when he was told hecould reenter his apartment,there were dryers on theground, attempting to dry upthe carpet.

He is still unsure of what was damaged in his home andhow much the damages willcost him.

 Willhoit is hopeful theresidents of Camelot Village

 will see developments to theproperty in the upcoming

 years to help minimize futuredamage.

“We hope that improve-ments can be made to theFordham Boulevard cul-

 vert a nd that d evelopmentupstream can be designed tominimize the rate of runoffof storm water,” Willhoitsaid. “In the meantime, welook forward to working

 with the town on the ac qui-sition of those building mostat risk.”

Things I planned to do over break but didn’t

By Jordan MarenoStaff Writer

 Winter Break is essentiallya 30 day hold on all responsi-

 bilities. It is a college student’stime to relax, recover and restafter a semester’s worth of

 work (or lack thereof). I began Winter Break determined toaccomplish a number of activ-ities. Unfortunately, I failed atevery item on this list to vary-ing degrees.

 Ah yes, the classic feigneddedication to exercise. I toldmyself that I was going to run

6 days a week and start thespring semester with a new setof abs. But then it was cold.

 And raining. And there waslots of food everywhere. Andthere were Christmas movieson TV. The world didn’t wantme to exercise. So I didn’t.

Nothing gets me more bummed than being t he per-son who doesn’t catch a clev-er literary reference tossedaround in casual conversa-tion. I have been workingon expanding my knowledgeof literary classics for sometime and I saw Winter Breakas a huge opportunity forprogress.

Hillel, UNC’s Jewish center, updat-ed its building on West Cameron

 Avenue by installing two gender non-specific bathrooms in November.

Lauren Fine, the student lead-ership coordinator at Hillel, saidinstalling the bathrooms was nec-essary to keep up to date with theneeds of students.

“Something that we like to say atHillel is that we are the Jewish homeon campus, so our doors are always

open and everyone is always wel-come to come in and ideally feel likethey’re at home,” Fine said. “So weknew that with our bathrooms beinggender binary that we were exclud-ing people from feeling at home.”

Fine said there has been a trend inJewish communities toward making

 buildings more inclusive, and Hillelis excited to be a part of that trend.

“I think really it is about makingsure students feel comfortable andsafe,” Fine said. “It is something thatother people don’t have to think

about, and that makes it really easy

to just push aside like it’s not a bigdeal — but it’s a huge deal.”

Terri Phoenix, director of UNC’sLGBTQ Center, said gender nonspe-cific bathrooms help make peoplefeel more comfortable.

“First of all, they benefit people who are transgender or gender non-conforming: whose gender expres-sion doesn’t conform to what peo-ple’s expectations are about malesand females,” Phoenix said.

“It also benefits people who havesmall children of a different genderthan they. And it also benefits people

 who have disabilities and who havepersonal care attendants who are ofa different gender than they.”

The LGBTQ Center helped Hillelmake its goal a reality. The two

organizations exchanged ideas about which bathrooms to change and how best to educate the community aboutgender nonspecific bathrooms.

 Aaron Lovett, programmingchairperson of the Sexuality andGender Alliance, said his organiza -tion supports Hillel’s decision.

Lovett said he didn’t want topresume how a transgender personmight feel, but he said he thinksthere is a slightly uncomfortableattitude towards gender noncon-forming individuals on campus.

More than one year after theidea was originally proposed, stu-

dents might finally see contextual-ized grades on their transcripts infall 2016.

The new format, which changestranscripts by displaying a stu-dent’s course letter grade accom-panied by the median grade for thecourse, will appear on students’unofficial transcripts for a yearas a pilot program, EducationalPolicy Committee member TheresaRaphael-Grimm said.

“Students would be able to bothget their regular transcripts and

to get their new contextualizedtranscripts. And they’d be able tosee how they compare,” formercommittee chairperson AndrewPerrin said.

“We’ll see that as a full year testto make sure everything is work -ing right before it becomes theofficial transcript.”

 An Educational Policy Committeemeeting Friday will hopefully final-

ize the long-delayed decision to usecontextualized grading.

Contextualized grading aims toreduce the problem of grade infla-tion, said Perrin, who is no longer acommittee member. UNC’s rate ofgrade inflation is on par with otherflagship universities across thecountry, he said.

“It’s not that we’re worse,” he said.“It’s that we think the problem is

 bad on the national level and thatit really needs to be addressed, sothis puts Carolina at the forefront

of trying to do something about anational problem.”

Contextualized grading wassupposed to be introduced in fall2014, but due to calculation issues,the implementation had to bepostponed.

“Just over a year ago when it wasfinally, we thought, ready to spin off,the registrar sort of last minute dis-covered a glitch in the software that

 was calculating some of the figures,”Perrin said.

“Of course you can’t have tran-scripts with inaccurate informa-tion on them, so that’s why theplug was pulled at the last min-ute.”

Raphael-Grimm said the reg-istrar brought the problem to thecommittee.

“Roughly January 2015 throughthe end of 2015, the EducationalPolicy Committee deliberatedabout contextualized grading and

Science through a new lens NC cracksdown on

underagedrinking

By Danielle ChemtobStaff Writer

This holiday season, NorthCarolina officials resolved toincrease efforts combatting drunk-en driving.

The N.C. Department ofTransportation launched its “BoozeIt & Lose It” campaign withthe Governor’s Highway SafetyProgram to reduce drunken drivingin December.

Don Nail, director of theGovernor’s Highway SafetyProgram, said this year the cam-paign increased the number ofmobile testing units, as well as thenumber of checkpoint stations

 between Dec. 11 and Jan. 3.During this period, there were

35 DWI charges in Orange County,two of which were underage indi-

 viduals — like former UNC studentChandler Kania, who is charged

 with driving the wrong way on aninterstate and killing three people ina head-on collision in July.

“That just didn’t start in col-lege, that young man, that had tohave started before then,” said JimGardner, chairperson of the N.C.

 ABC Commission. “We’ve just gotto do everything we can as a state toput the proper information out infront of parents and young peopleabout the dangers of alcohol at sucha young age.”

One such effort to increase infor-mation was Gov. Pat McCrory’s TalkIt Out campaign, which marked itsone-year anniversary last month.

The campaign worked with the ABC Commission to re duce unde r-age drinking through advertise-ments that emphasized the roleparents play in warning their chil-dren about the dangers of drink-

ing.LaRonda Scott, state execu-

tive director of the North Carolinachapter of Mothers Against DrunkDriving, said drunken driving andunderage drinking are dealt withas separate issues because drunkendriving only results in one-third ofdeaths from underage drinking.

Many parents actually providealcohol for their children, Scottsaid.

“Some adults feel like it’s a rite ofpassage,” she said, citing the com-mon belief that since children willdrink anyway, adults should teachchildren how to drink safely to pro-tect them. “But all research showsthat this is not true.”

Nail said that it is often easier for

underage people to get alcohol dur-ing the holidays.

“I think alcohol does becomemore accessible during the holi-days just because there’s a lot ofparties going on. Parents may be

 bringi ng and having more al coholin their home readily available,” hesaid.

Dealing with underage drinkingon college campuses poses an addi-tional challenge because of the useof fake IDs, said Sgt. Mike Mineerof Chapel Hill Police Department’sPatrol Division.

“We’re having a harder timediscerning between a fake and alegitimate identification card,”Mineer said.

He said the Chapel Hill Police

Department is assisting bars inchecking people’s identificationsto ensure they are not under-age — though officers might notcheck IDs at the door and in steadre-examine IDs inside establish-ments.

Gardner said bars bear responsi- bility for serving minors, even if theminors are using fake IDs. He saidone problem is that in places likeChapel Hill, some bars only checkidentification at the door.

“The law states very clearly that you have to check them by theperson serving the drink,” Gardnersaid.

The ABC Commission is con-ducting training programs with allestablishments that have alcohol

permits in college towns, Gardnersaid.

“If a young person in NorthCarolina under 21 years old getsalcohol, it has to come from aNorth Carolina permitted estab-lishment, either an ABC store ora restaurant or bar,” he said. “So if

 we can c ontro l the source of wherethe children are getting alcoholfrom, then maybe we can r educeit.”

UNC biomedical professor Zhen Gu conductsresearch with a goal to transform treatment fordiabetic patients. On Dec. 23, Gu’s image of thesmart insulin patch, his recently developed med-ical technology, was named one of the magazineScience’s top 10 images of 2015.

The winning photo is a fluorescent micro-scopic image of the smart insulin patch’smicroneedles.

“‘Smart’ means that the insulin patch hasglucose-responsive elements embedded inside,”Gu said. “They can sense the glucose levels, andthey can release insulin at the r ight time.”

Gu said this microneedle technology allowsthe treatment to be simple and painless.

“This is our motivation — to make thingsmore precise and more convenient,” he said.

Though Gu thinks the image is beautiful, he was surprised th at the magazine recog nizedthe image.

“One of my friends actually told me,” Gu said.“They sent me an email saying, ‘Congratulations,’

and I was like, ‘What?’”Gu said he thinks the image received the

award because of its high quality but moreimportantly because of the impact his and histeam’s research will have.

Nala Rogers, who wrote the article forScience, said the list acknowledged substantialresearch and quality images.

“It stood out pretty clearly as something that was in a different category than the cool otherpictures we had, and that helped draw attentionto the story,” Rogers said.

“We had a lot of those with animal stories, but it was a little harder to find those that real lyhelped explain engineering or microbiology.”

Rogers also said scientific photography canhelp explain and prove scientific research.

“It’s so helpful to have a picture. As a science journalist, I’m often trying to have researchersexplain to me what they’re doing in a way that Ican visualize it,” Rogers said.

elin o’Hara slavick, director of gradu-ate studies of studio practice in UNC’s Art

Department, also said photography plays a vital role in scienti fic resear ch.

“You need that lens,” she said. “You need thatmassification or reflection or device to see that

 you can’t see with just your eye.”Slavick also said science and art are very con-

nected and that photographers used to need a basic knowledge of chemistry and alchemy.

“For me, what’s interesting as an artist andphotographer is that photographers used to belike scientists,” she said.

Roger also said there is a connection betweenscience photography and artistry.

“I imagined there are different art formsinvolved in being able to take a clear, interest-ing image of something microscopic versusanimal photography versus space photography,”Rogers said.

“I think there are many different specialtiesand fields and artistry in all of them.”

But for Gu, his goal for the image was to cap-ture his research.

“Most of the times, you just want to take agood picture, and it’s actually very hard to dothat.”

UNC Hillel installs gender nonspecific bathrooms

DTH/KATIE WILLIAMS

UNC’s Jewish center, Hillel, installed two gender nonspecific bathrooms on the

second floor in November. The center is located on West Cameron Avenue.

“It’s really just about allowing transand non-binary people to go intospaces where they feel comfortableand to be able to operate in everydaylife just like everyone else,” he said.

The newly neutral bathroomsare both on Hillel’s second floor.Since there are two stalls in each

 bathroom, a lock was installed to theinside doors so visitors can make the

 bathroom single-use if they prefer.“Honestly, I was shocked when

I heard how few gender neutral bathrooms there were on campus,”Fine said. “And so I knew that it wasa priority for us, especially since youcan do it for such little money, for thecost of installing locks and signs.”

The center hopes thenewly neutral bathroomwill increase inclusivity.

Southern Rail leaves lasting legacy 

By Marisa DunnStaff Writer

It was a place to drink, eatand listen to music. It was acrossroads for the commu-nity. It was known to many asCarrboro’s living room.

 After nine years in busi-ness, Southern Rail closed itsdoors at the end of 2015.

Mike and Christy Benson, who both grew up in ChapelHill, opened Southern Rail asa restaurant in 2007. Soon the

 business grew to include themusic venue, The Station, andcoffee shop, The Tiger Room.

Music buffs will rememberSouthern Rail as a rare place

they could listen to theirfavorite bands at no charge.“We tried to push as much

local, diverse music as wecould,” Mike said. “That waypeople weren’t obligated tolisten to a band they didn’tlike, but could also easily con-nect with a band they had

never heard of.”Mike said hanging out with

the band members was hisfavorite part of the venue’snear-decade in business.

“There is no better group of

pirates to hang out with thana bunch of musicians,” he said.“They’re creative, fun and liv-ing paycheck to paycheck.”

Nick Stroud, a previousgeneral manager of SouthernRail, said the venue’s openmic night became so well-known that musicians comingthrough town would oftenstop by unannounced.

“It had such a reputationthat artists like The Roots

 would just show up and startplaying,” he said. “That kind ofmagic always happened there.”

Despite The Station’s musi-cal following, Christy, whoreceived her law degree fromUNC in 1997, said it became

difficult to manage multiple businesses under one roof.“It had so many moving

parts,” Christy said. “It got tothe point where there was somuch administrative work andnot much creative thinking

 behind it.” She said the 2008financial crisis was a roadblock.

closed its doors.

‘Unverified’ challenges scandal narratives

By Bradley SaacksDirector of Enterprise

Next to a theater showingthe latest James Bond movie,

 Varsity Theatre’s Friday nightheadliner was unusual — adocumentary on the UNCacademic-athletic scandal.

Bradley Bethel, the for-mer UNC learning specialistturned cinematographer,debuted his film, “Unverified:The Untold Story Behindthe UNC Scandal,” to a selectaudience Friday.

 Attendees included manypeople who have been

affected by the scandal, suchas now-fired athletic tutorJaimie Lee, former men’s

 basketball assistant coach JoeHolladay and several formerUNC student-athletes.

The film was advertised asthe story of the “other side” ofthe UNC academic-athleticscandal, revolving around per-sonal interviews with Bethel’sclose friends, Lee and formerathletic tutor Beth Bridger.

Bridger and Lee were firedafter investigator Kenneth

 Wainstein’s report revealedtheir involvement in thepaper classes within the for-mer Department of Africanand Afro-American Studies.

Bethel said he specificallyhoped to correct what hecalled the media’s sensation-alism of the scandal.

restaurants in Washington,D.C. He said he plans to stayin Carrboro and return to pho-tography and graphic design,

 which he did professionally before opening Southern Rail.

Christy, who plans to

remain a business law profes-sor at Elon University, saidshe has faith the SouthernRail legacy will continue.

“We built such a beauti-ful thing there, and I think italmost has to remain some

sort of iteration of a restau-rant or music venue,” she said.

“I hope it will once againopen as a place where peoplecan go and enjoy a beer.”

“It was a greatnine years. It was arough nine years. Itwas a little of both.” Mike Benson

Co-owner of Southern Rail

“It was, and still is, a hardtime for any small business.Even in a niche market, it’shard to make a real profit.”

Eventually, loans p iled up.In the spring of 2015, Mikeand Christy announced they

 were putting Southern Railup for sale.

“We were willing to sell forless than what we owed inorder to ensure the right peo-ple took over,” Christy said.“But none of the offers endedup panning out, and the banktook over.”

Mike said despite ups anddowns, he got to know thetown better.

“It was a great nine years.It was a rough nine years,” hesaid. “It was a little of both.”

 Although Mike has no hos-pitality plans for the Trianglein the future, he still owns two

tutors and athletes.

“‘If you don’t read the news-paper, you’re uninformed. If

 you read the newspaper, you’remisinformed,’ Mark Twain,” thefirst scene of the movie read.

The most revealing inter- view was with former UNCChancellor James Moeser,

 who was at the helm of theUniversity when the numberof paper classes peaked.

“AFAM was given a kind ofpass because no one wantedto be seen as dealing harshly

 with the African, the African- American studies department— candidly,” Moeser said

 when asked why deans thathad knowledge of irregularclasses did not act.

“It was a corruption of ourhigher values. These werepeople who were trying tohelp other people — people

 who were mostly poor, mostly black, coming from very poorhouseholds — and trying togive them a leg up.”

Bridger, Lee and Deunta Williams, a former UNC foot- ball player, defended the rigorof the paper classes.

“Some of the topics thesekids had to write about, theygot more out of that than sit-ting in a math class or sittingin a history class,” Bridgersaid in the film.

 Wainstein’s report foundthat the classes, which began in1993 and ended in 2011, helped

 boost athletes’ and non-ath-letes’ GPAs and were favorablygraded by former office admin-istrator Deborah Crowder, anon-faculty member.

Bethel challenged the Wainstein report — and UNC

administration’s response —throughout the film.

“University leaders seemedcontent to let those associated

 with athletics take the blame,and the news media quicklypropagated this narrative,”one Bethel voice-over said.

Bethel asked why his twofriends were found responsibleof academic fraud by Wainstein

 but not the deans above them.The film said Chancellor

Carol Folt declined to beinterviewed and former UNC-system President Tom Rossdid not respond to a requestfor an interview.

UNC spokesperson JimGregory said the chancellordoes not comment on person-nel issues but provided Bethel

 with materials on personneldecisions stemming from the

 Wainstein report.Many journalists who have

reported on the UNC scandaleither declined to be inter-

 viewed or were not allowed todo an interview by their newsagencies, according to thefilm, including The (Raleigh)News & Observer’s Dan Kane,CNN’s Sara Ganim and HBOReal Sports’ Bernard Goldberg.

 Wainstein also declined to beinterviewed for the film.

Bethel quit his job at theUniversity last year to workon the project, which wascrowdfunded and raised$50,000 in its first day. Thefilm eventually raised morethan $140,000. “Unverified”

 will be showing at VarsityTheatre today and Tuesday.

Chapel Hill gears up for winter weather

By Rachel BridgesAssistant City Editor

Despite the record-break-ing high temperatures this

 winter, the town of ChapelHill is still ready for any snowand inclement weather thatcould be forthcoming.

“Every year, the depart-ment provides new employeeand refresher training toexisting employees in public

 works,” said Lance Norris,Chapel Hill public worksdirector.

“This occurs early to mid-December. The trainingincludes safety, roles, proce-dures and mounting and test-

ing equipment. There is also areview for employees assignedto the department’s coordina-tion center.”

Norris said the town has 11snowplow trucks, seven boxspreaders, four brine distribu-tors and a motor grader and

that the town has contractsfor more equipment.

He also said the town’s brine storage tanks, roadwayrock salt bins and sand binsare full.

Once snow has accumu-lated to two inches, plowing begins.

The town plows areas inorder of importance, with

 bridges a nd maj or stree tsfirst, followed by bus routes,solid waste collector routes,through streets and deadend streets.

But the town isn’t respon-sible for clearing all roads andsidewalks. School propertyis the school’s responsibil-ity, and sidewalks in front ofhomes and driveways are resi-dents’ responsibilities. ChapelHill is only responsible fortown roads, town parking lotsand public buildings.

Chapel Hill residents arestill concerned about thetown’s efforts to remain pre-pared for the snow.

“They should be preparing.I do think it’s going to snow,probably in late February,”said Chapel Hill resident

“The folks that pick up thetrash, the folks that deal withthe sidewalk, everybody hasa job to do when inclement

 weather comes.”Palmer said the previous

council had a proposal for before the snow started fall-

ing to require businesses andpeople to clear their sidewalksand property.

“It’s something that manycommunities have and some-thing that we were going tolook at,” she said.

“I’m hoping that we can

still look at that possibility with the new council.”More information about

Chapel Hill’s adverse weatherpolicies can be found on thetown’s website.

The Graduate andProfessional StudentFederation has elected a newpresident, Dylan Russell,to fill the position left byBrandon Linz in November.

“I saw a need that neededto be fulfilled and thought Ihad unique experience serv -ing as Student Body Presidentat Appalachian StateUniversity, a White Houseintern and a former publicschool teacher,” Russell saidin an email.

This week, Russell said histeam will fill two vacancies onthe executive board caused byresignations at the end of thefall semester. Former secre-

tary Adam Engel and CortneyMiller, former vice presidentof internal affairs, both lefttheir jobs in December.

Russell said his goals forthe semester include betterdefining GPSF’s role at UNC.

“The constitution cur-rently does not give GPSF themeans to be anything morethan a quasi-independentagency,” Russell said.

“Our hope is that we movefrom this constitutionallydefined role to an advocacyand governing body that moreclearly reflects the uniqueneeds of all graduate and pro-fessional students.”

Tensions with Student

Congress led graduate stu-dents to call on administra-tion to make GPSF an auton-omous governing body at theend of last semester. GPSF iscontinuing to pursue the sep-aration from the undergradu-ate student government.

“Basically anyone that’s anexecutive board of any branchof student government has

 been involved in meetings totry to figure out next steps,

 where to go,” Student Body

President Houston Summerssaid. “I think we’re all weigh-ing the options of what does aseparation look like?”

Summers said the focus ofthe meetings has been find-ing a way to best represent allstudents, undergraduate andgraduate.

Student Congress SpeakerDavid Joyner said he wouldnot call the meetings a pro-cess of separation.

“I think the tension is justthat there are some people inGPSF who think that under-graduates should stay out oftheir affairs but don’t seemto have much of a problem

 with graduate students being

involved in undergraduateaffairs,” Joyner said.

Summers said studentgovernment is currentlydeveloping several plans forthe future of GPSF, rangingfrom complete separationfrom student government tono changes at all.

“We’re going to all worktogether to get that out to thelarger student body,” Summerssaid. “We haven’t decided onexactly what that looks like tomake sure all of those plansare vetted and then, I wouldimagine, voted on in the stu-dent body president elections.”

Russell said the decisionon where GPSF stands in stu-

dent government is ultimatelyup to the student body.

“I have full faith andconfidence that the student

 body will vote in a mannerthat will make sure that thestrong history of student self-governance will persevere atCarolina,” Russell said.

Davis Library is going through renovations that should be completed by the end of January. The library will receive a new front desk.

 Davis Library began arenovation on its decades-oldmain service desk over winterbreak. Library spokesperson Judy Panitch spoke to staffwriter Cailyn Dericksonabout the library’s history,the construction processand the reasons behind thechange.

The Daily Tar Heel: Why did themain desk need a renovation?

 Judy Panitch: The library, DavisLibrary, was designed in theearly 1980s, and the thingsthat were common thenare really not very suitableto the way that people usethe library or the way thatthe staff are working now.Everything is much moretechnology-enabled andmuch more collaborative, so

Q&A with Davis library spokespersonthis desk renovation will helpus to meet those needs.

DTH: What kinds of renova-tions are taking place?

 JP: The idea is we want tomake it easier for people touse Davis Library. We aredoing that by creating a sin-gle service desk that is at thefront of the library and that’sa place where people can askquestions, where they can get

help, where they can returnmaterials, all in one place …

 As far as the renova tion goes, what we have been doing is… creating a single new deskthat’s going to be more vis-ible and more welcomingreally and more appropriatefor the work that happenshere.

DTH: How long is the renova-tion supposed to take?

 JP: We started the work justafter y’all went home, so atthe beginning of break … and

 we are anticipating that this will be done by the end ofJanuary.

DTH: Will students still be ableto go into Davis during therenovation?

 JP: Absolutely, we are entirelyopen and all of our servicesare available. All of our mate-rials are available. The onlything is that everybody needsto go in and out of what isnormally just the entrancedoor and we have a tempo-rary service desk.

DTH: Wow, I’m excited to seeit.

 JP: We’re really excited about

it. This is very much needed,and I think the best part isit’s going to make it so mucheasier for people who areusing the library. It’s beenconfusing to have two dif -ferent places. People aren’tquite sure what happens atthese places. And then thereare cases where we sendpeople back from one deskto another and that’s not agood service and it wasn’t

 very good for our staff either because they weren’ t able tocollaborate … so if everybodyis in one place it’s going to

 be a much better experiencefor people who are using thelibrary and our staff.

DTH: I looked at the picture ofthe renovation design, and itlooks really good.

 JP: Yeah, the other thingthat it does is it will makeour staff there to help more

 visible and hopefully m oreapproachable because they

 won’t be behind such a ta lldesk. It will be at a height

 where you can have a con- versation, where you ca nlook together at documentsand computer screens, so it’sgoing to open up all kinds ofpossibilities. Also, becauseof the lower desk height, it’s

going to eliminate a bar-rier for people that are in

 wheelchairs. It provides usthe opportunity to finally dothat.

DTH: How did they decide tomake this renovation?

 JP: I think this goes backto some of the things I wassaying before. We lookedat the way people use thelibrary and we also lookedat the way our staff was per-forming the work of servingpatrons, helping the people

 who are coming i n to usethe library and we realizedthe way the library was built

three decades ago was nolonger meeting anybody’sneeds.

DTH: Do you think there’s astark divide between Muslimsand non-Muslims?

SR: If you don’t knowthese people and you’venever met one and you’venever talked to one, you’regoing to be inclined to

 believe every thing yo u hearabout them.

I think especially in thecollege environment, uni-

 versity e nviron ment, e very-one’s more educated, andeveryone’s more aware of theissues.

But I’ve had really goodexperiences growing up herein Chapel Hill. I think that

 would be my bigges t advice .Just to meet a Muslim —they’re not that bad. It’llchange your opinion.

@kerrrybear city@dailytarheel.com

DTH: What prompted you to be a part of Triangle Relief?

SR: Growing up, my parentsalways encouraged me todo volunteering. I’ve alwaysfilled up my entire scheduleand after school with clubsand service projects.

That’s just somethingI’m used to doing. UnitedMuslim Relief was just oneof those things I happenedto be involved in when itfirst started.

It was very small, verylittle interest, and it’s grown

so much since then. Wehave almost 7,500 likes onFacebook, and we have hun-dreds of people come to ourevents.

So it’s gotten a lot big-ger, and it’s just somethingthat no matter who you areor what you do, this is anopportunity for you to give

 back to the community.

DTH: Why do you believe inthe Muslim faith?

SR: Of course, growing up, you’re ta ught wha t yourparents believe in, and that’sthe first thing you’re exposedto. So that’s definitely how I

 was rai sed, and I didn’t real-ly value it for anything —that’s just what was taughtto me.

 When I first sta rted wearing my scar f, that wa sa time when I had to formmy own identity, and I wasforced to look at myself. I

 was like , “Who am I?” “Whatdo I believe in?” and I wasforced to look back into my

faith and say, “Is it some-thing I believe in, or is thissomething that I was justtaught?” You have to reclaim

 yoursel f almos t.

DTH: What would you wantnon-Muslims to know aboutthe work you do?

SR: A lot of the commonareas among the generalpopulation is thinking thatMuslims are not outgoing,

COURTESY OF SALMA REZK

UNC student Salma Rezkis the United Muslim ReliefTriangle chapter president.This nonprofit organization focuses on building humani-tarian coalitions to tackledevelopmental needs in the

U.S. and other countries.City Editor Kerry Lengyel

spoke with Rezk aboutUnited Muslim Relief, herexperience growing up Muslim and what she thinksneeds to be done to bridge the gap between Muslims andnon-Muslims.

The Daily Tar Heel: Tell memore about United MuslimRelief Triangle.

Salma Rezk: It’s a nationalorganization, and thereare different chapters run

 by students. The Trianglechapter is one of the firstchapters, and it’s one of the

 biggest c hapters as well .Some of the things (UnitedMuslim Relief) does ishealth care programs, edu-cation, water, sanitation,dental work and dentalrelief.

They focus on sustain-ability, so long-term resultsinstead of temporarily fixingsomething. They’re trying to

 build from the ground up,so these people can one dayhelp themselves.
