Budget cuts reach $60M tuition prices are still in flux

BY ANDREw HARRELLUNIverSIty eDItor

Chancellor Holden Thorp has told the University to prepare for a $60 million cut to University funding.

Although the specific areas where cuts will be made are still being determined, administrators said

there is no question they will have a significant impact on the campus.

“We’re treating these targets as actual cuts because they are real-istic given the state’s current dire situation,” Thorp said.

The new number represents additional reductions to the 5 per-cent cuts Thorp asked administra-

tors to create plans for in March, and which began with the fiscal year’s start on July 1.

That 5 percent cut was doubled Wednesday at the request of UNC-system President Erskine Bowles, totalling a $60 million budget reduction.

The cuts would come from state appropriations, which currently represent roughly one fourth of the University’s funding, as

determined by the N.C. General Assembly. The 10 percent cuts fall between recent predictions of how the state’s budget will turn out once it is passed by the General Assembly and approved by Gov. Bev Perdue.

Thorp said the new 5 percent cuts will not necessarily be made campuswide. A budget committee

Students in the UNC system might not know the final cost of their tuition until well after the school year starts as a result of an indecisive state legislature.

The N.C. General Assembly pushed its deadline to produce a budget for the next fiscal year to July 15 to continue debating ways to increase taxes, angering many students and state employees who were already anxious about the upcoming semester.

The deadline — originally July 1 — was pushed back after Gov. Bev Perdue signed a temporary budget June 30, which restricts govern-ment spending to 85 percent of what was granted in 2008.

The extension could pose a problem for students preparing their finances for next year.

The billing process starts in July for most universities. If the proposed 8 percent tuition hike in the House budget is approved after then, students could receive an additional tuition bill in the middle of the semester, said Greg Doucette, president of the UNC-system Association of Student Governments.

“A lot of us want to know what’s going to happen and just be done with it,” he said.

The extension deadline is also costing taxpayers $5 million — $104 per legislator — in daily allowances each extra day they have to meet, said Dana Cope, executive director of the State Employees Association.

“We are footing the bill because legislators haven’t met their dead-line” he said.

Student leaders are using the extra time to continue to advocate for fewer cuts to the UNC system, said Whitney McCoy, student body president of Winston-Salem State University.

“Everyone is very frustrated, but we can’t let our frustration get in the way of our work,” she said.

Winston-Salem State University has already downsized and cut back on programs, but McCoy said further cuts can be prevented by making sure legislators are aware of students’ concerns.

“I will never lose hope,” she said. “Everything we ask for won’t be granted, but there are ways to make things better.”

And students may not be the only ones at risk. Thousands of teachers whose contracts have not been renewed are waiting on the budget to find out whether or

Durham band Simeon opens the Club Is open festival with a performance at Carrboro’s reservoir on tuesday. the band played alongside Chapel Hill garage duo Blag’ard. the festival continues tonight, Friday and Saturday at the Cave, Local 506 and Cat’s Cradle, respectively.

The Club Is Open Festival is a labor of love. It’s not really set up to make money as some festivals are, and whatever money it does make goes to charity.

It’s not set up to gain publicity for its organiz-ers. This isn’t the record label-sponsored TRKfest of June, and it’s not a self-promoting display in the vein of WXYC’s Backyard BBQ shows or this publication’s own Diversions Parties.

No, the five-day, five-venue festival that hits Chapel Hill for the second year this week is exactly what it bills itself as. It’s an outlet, an attempt to open up every room in town and fill it with local music.

“There continue to be great new bands in

the local community,” said Rusty Sutton, who organized the festival alongside friend and bandmate Steve Oliva. “All the bands we had last year are doing really great things. A lot of them have put out some of my favorite records from the past year.

“It’s not like things are slowing down in the community. So there’s no reason to stop.”

Far from stopping, this year’s festival expanded into uncharted territory. Wednesday the festival provided the entertainment for the re-opening of Chapel Hill’s new and improved Players as Durham’s Hammer No More The Fingers invaded the dance club.

art displayed around town registration for parking permits stalled by glitchBY BECKY BUSHStAFF WrIter

The Department of Public Safety began a new online first-come, first-serve parking pass system for students last week.

It resulted in a system crash.Although an alternate system

ran smoothly for the rest of regis-tration, many are still affected by the original problems.

“We’ll use the system when our IT managers feel confident again,” Stout said about the faulty program.

On July 1, when professional and graduate students went to apply online for on-campus parking, they received an error message at the end of their transaction. Their requests had not been completed, even though their credit or debit cards were already charged.

After hearing about the issues, DPS reset the system to try again at 1 p.m. When the same problems persisted, DPS decided to use a dif-ferent software.

Third-year law student Satish Chintapalli said he applied for parking multiple times and received an error message after every attempt.

Another third-year law student, Crystal Russ, said she took off work on July 1 so she could apply for her parking permit.

When Russ tried at 1 p.m., she waited for more than 15 minutes, was charged on her credit card and was told she had an invalid ship-ping method.

Russ also said one of her friends tried to register multiple times and was charged more than $300 on her credit card.

After the two original attempts to launch the new software, DPS officials switched to different soft-ware which did not bill people over the Internet and restarted the registration program, said Randy Young, spokesman for the

Twenty-four venues through-out Chapel Hill and Carrboro will open their doors Friday night, wel-coming pedestrians to this month’s 2ndFriday ArtWalk.

Since its inception nine years ago, the event has featured any-where from 12 to 27 venues in a given month, attracting hundreds to the area.

In 2004, the 2ndFriday ArtWalk board registered the title as a trademark in hopes of attracting more national recognition.

Board member Garry Meldrum said the event acts to promote the community, the venues and the artists involved.

“The idea is to get people famil-iar with particular artists or a type of art,” Meldrum said.

The ArtWalk not only features

artwork in galleries, but it also includes art displays in law firms and coffee shops.

Even Carrboro Town Hall has an exhibit. This month, photog-rapher Dave Otto will present his work exploring the Carrboro

CAMPUS BRIEFSCongress meeting focuses on funding two magazines

Student Congress’ first and like-ly only meeting of the summer took place Wednesday night.

It was the first meeting run by new Speaker Joe Levin-Manning. The two bills planned for discus-sion were summer appropriations for campus publications. Bounce Magazine requested $225, and Blue & White Magazine requested $1,518.

Although the meeting took place after the deadline for this issue, an article about the meet-ing is available.

Visit University News at www.dailytarheel.com for the full story.

Four incoming Kenan Music Scholars get full rides

A new class of four Kenan Music Scholars have received full scholar-ships to attend UNC.

The 2009 scholars are Ryan Dickey, a euphonium player from Southlake, Texas; Ning Lee, a vio-linist from Singapore; Crystal Wu, a pianist from Birmingham, Ala.; and Sidney Zaleski, a pianist from Ellicott City, Md.

They were chosen from 185 other musicians for the merit scholarships in the College of Arts and Sciences. A $4 million endowment created in 2006 by the William R. Kenan Jr. Charitable Trust of Chapel Hill funds the awards.

The scholarships are valued at roughly $70,000 per student in the course of four years and cover tuition, fees, room, board and les-sons. That includes $6,000 for study abroad, work with a perform-er, internships with music groups, attendance at music festivals and other music events and travel to graduate program auditions.

A faculty committee chose the recipients for academic excellence and outstanding ability in music. The students will join seven Kenan Music Scholars who are currently enrolled.

Four doctoral candidates get Fulbright-Hays awards

Four doctoral candidates at UNC have been awarded fellow-ships from the U.S. Department of Education’s Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad Program.

The awards, which fund study in foreign languages and area studies, total nearly $148,000. Fulbright-Hays fellowships are designed to support projects that deepen research knowledge and boost development capability in parts of the world that don’t usu-ally capture the attention of U.S. academia.

The fellowships were awarded through UNC’s Center for Global Initiatives.

T h e f o u r r e c i p i e n t s a r e Timothy Baird, Edward Geist, Laura Premack and Rachana Umashankar.

Two UNC professors receive grants for cancer research

Two University researchers have been named 2009 Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation Clinical Investigators.

William Kim, assistant professor of medicine, and C. Ryan Miller, assistant professor of pathology and laboratory medicine in the School of Medicine, were UNC’s two recipients of the four national awards.

The three-year grants are awarded to career physician-sci-entists conducting patient-orient-ed cancer research at a prominent research center under the mentor-ship of some of the nation’s leading scientists.

The awards are each worth $450,000 toward the development of the winners’ cancer research programs.

Award-winning tenor will be artist in residence this year

Two-time Grammy Award-winning tenor Anthony Dean Griffey will teach at UNC this year as artist-in-residence for music students.

Griffey will spend 12 weeks teaching master classes for voice students and Kenan Scholars in-between opera and concert appearances across the globe. He will also work with students one-on-one, work with students in the University Chamber Players and the UNC Opera and give lectures in classes.

A High Point native, Griffey is best known for his role in Benjamin Britten’s opera “Peter Grimes.” He won two Grammy Awards this year for Best Classical Album and Best Opera Recording.

Two of those classes will be open to the public: Sept. 21 at 4 p.m. in Person Recital Hall and March 15 at 4 p.m. in Hill Hall auditorium.

Easthom, during her time on the coun-cil, has collaborated with groups such as Neighbors for Responsible Growth and the Horace Williams citizens committee. On her Web site, she said the council should pursue balance when considering developments, especially dense projects.

Pease lists a four-part platform on his Web site. He believes the main issues before the council are being fiscally responsible, revitalizing downtown and expanding the commercial tax base, improving relations between Chapel Hill and the University, and continuing to protect the town’s environ-mental assets.

Merritt said he does not believe he has been on the council long enough to accomplish his goals. These include keeping the com-munity informed about council proceed-ings, monitoring town growth, expanding the library system and dealing with the pro-posed Millhouse Road waste transfer site, to which he is opposed.

Harrison, who is active on several transpor-tation committees, said some of the largest issues facing the council relate to creating greenways and other transit systems to reduce automobile use. Other issues facing the council, he said, include town develop-ment and business.

Rich said Franklin Street has been and remains an important issue for the council. Residents have told her they are concerned that dense development might make the downtown area lose its charm and that they are worried about projected increases in town traffic.

With four seats up for grabs on the Chapel Hill Town Council and at least five candidates, this year’s race will be competitive.

Challengers Gene Pease and Penny Rich will compete with incumbents Laurin Easthom, Ed Harrison and Jim Merritt for spots on the council.

Regardless of who is elected, next year’s council will face many changes and challenges, such as a new mayor, the continued effects of the econom-ic downturn, a completed develop-ment agreement for Carolina North and an ongoing search for a new waste transfer site.

“There’s a lot of work that’s unfinished, and it’s hard work,” Harrison said.

One of the four vacancies will result from council member Mark Kleinschmidt’s decision to run for mayor of Chapel Hill. Although council member Matt Czajkowski is also running for mayor, his term is not yet up and he will retain his seat if he is not elected.

The filing period opened on July 6 and Rich was the first to file early that morning.

Of the incumbents, Easthom joined the council in 2005, and Harrison joined the council in 2001. Merritt was appointed to the council in November 2008 to fill the vacancy left by former council member Bill Thorpe’s death, and served the rest of Thorpe’s term.

Neither challenger, further-more, is new to council affairs. Rich ran for town council in 2007 but lost to Czajkowski. Pease applied for Thorpe’s seat in 2008 and has served on several town committees.

In a statement on his Web site, Pease said the four major issues facing the council are fiscal respon-sibility, thoughtful growth, town-gown relations and environmental

awareness. He said his experience on various town committees would help him if elected.

“I want to continue to work to make this an interesting, diverse, and stimulating place to live for everyone,” he said.

Rich, who has been active in organizations such as Neighbors for Responsible Growth and Orange County Democratic Women, did not give a specific platform. She said it was more important to listen to residents’ concerns.

“My goal is to be the voice of the people in town,” she said. “I don’t want to start giving my opinion about what I think until I know what they think.”

One point of contention among candidates has been Voter-Owned Elections, a program approved by the council in 2008 that allows public financing of campaigns.

Supporters argue that it gives less well-known candidates equal footing, but opponents gener-ally disagree with using taxpayers’ money to fund campaigns.

Rich, a longtime supporter of the program, has already announced her participation. Pease said he will not participate, stating that it would go against his principle of fiscal responsibility. Harrison and Merritt will not participate although they voted for the program. Easthom has not announced whether she will publicly finance her campaign.

Filing will continue until noon July 17.

sMIth EFFIGy sItE IN daNGEr

by AlANA PrETTiTorESTAFF WRITER

The historic 75-year-old Willow Oak where former coach Dean Smith was famously hanged in effigy 44 years ago outside Woollen Gym has suffered dam-age from construction projects through-out the past several years.

Now the upper half of the historic tree is dead and will likely have to be removed, said Marion Redd, a UNC graduate who attended the University in the 1960s and works on campus. During a period of ram-pant renovations and construction, con-flicts like this seem inevitable.

“I just see it as an avoidable tragedy — totally avoidable,” Redd said, “More and more trees are yielding to construction. Unfortunately, this one next to Davie Poplar is one of the most famous story trees on campus.”

It was Jan. 6, 1965, and the UNC men’s basketball team lost 107-85 to Wake Forest University. As the Tar Heels arrived at Woollen Gym after their fourth straight defeat, they discovered an effigy of Smith hanging from a tree. After the next loss to N.C. State a week later, the 4-foot-tall doll of Smith dangled once again from that tree.

Once he overcame that losing season, Smith evolved into one of the most leg-endary faces in UNC history. He went on to become one of the winningest coaches in college basketball history and led UNC to two national championship victories and 11 Final Four appearances.

“I knew it was me because it had a big nose,” Smith told The Daily Tar Heel in 2007.

Renovations involved a 10-foot trench along the side of Woollen Gym, going through the root structure of the tree to build a steam line.

In addition, construction ran heavier equipment over the soil and parked bull-dozers around the tree, exacerbating the damage, said George Morgan, a former

member of the task force on landscape heritage and plant diversity.

“The saddest part is before they started the main construction, nothing was done to ameliorate the damage done to the root on the surface,” Redd said.

The task force is responsible for identi-fying “heritage trees” to be protected and this one didn’t make the cut, said David

Brown, senior associate editor of the Carolina Alumni Review.

When construction began, authori-ties were not aware of the tree’s history, although they were informed of its signif-icance before main construction further harmed the tree, Redd said.

But Redd, Morgan and Brown all said they think the tree will be removed.

“I think they will probably take it out. It seems to be their policy now,” Morgan said. “I don’t know whether there are things to do or not to save it, but I think they always chose the easy way, which is to take it out.”

The FedEx Global Education Center is sparking social awareness and growth through more than just its lecture halls.

From 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. today, individuals can visit the global cen-ter for a chance to become a part of the art exhibition there.

Last Thursday the walls of the global center transformed into an art gallery, housing 80 photographs that challenge traditional notions of the heritage and appearance of mixed-race people.

The exhibition, “kip fulbeck:

part asian, 100% hapa,” includes a portrait and personal statement from participants with some Asian ancestry.

The word “hapa” was tradition-ally a Hawaiian racial slur meaning “half,” but the term is now embraced as a declaration of ethnic pride.

Artist Kip Fulbeck, a slam poet and art professor at the University of California at Santa Barbara, defines himself by his mixed heritage — a theme that resonates in his art.

Fulbeck has planned a short per-formance for a Sept. 17 reception at the exhibit.

The most striking images are

those that take full advantage of viewers’ assumptions — surprising them by revealing the mixed ethnici-ties and bold opinions of people who appear to belong to a single race.

One participant included a question in her message below her portrait: “Did you ever notice that people think you are whatever they are, if they like you?”

Laura Griest, curator of exhib-its at the global center, was one of three individuals who assembled the exhibit and painted Fulbeck’s Oriental designs throughout the building’s lobby.

She said the exhibit forces view-

ers to consider questions about human interaction.

“How do we perceive other peo-ple because of physical characteris-tics? How do we perceive ourselves because of that?”

Griest said even people who identify with a single ethnicity should explore the implications of the exhibit.

“We’re so much more than just what we put in the box when they’re profiling us in the census.”

She said the art is especially rel-evant to UNC’s campus because of its multicultural atmosphere.

“It creates a conversation that

we need to have because of the diversity in this environment.”

The global center will extend the installation to include a video of local volunteers of all walks of life answering the question, “What are you?”

The video will add a personal element that is designed to appeal to local audiences.

“It’s not our exhibit, but we’ve got to put our own stamp on it also to show that it is affecting us,” Griest said.

reaching the summit

Thomas Costello of Chapel Hill/Raleigh’s Mount Weather nails a riff during the band’s performance at Local 506 on Monday. The band opened for the trendy Canadian garage duo Japandroids, who made their first trip to North Carolina. Mount Weather

played a noisy mix of pop-punk reminiscent of such Sonic-Youth disciples as The Pains of Being Pure At Heart. It was a pleasingly emotional set that opened the night well.

unc graduate begins political research firmby jeremy spearmanstaff wrIter

John Quinterno, a 2002 graduate of the UNC School of Government and a Chapel Hill resident, has high hopes for his new business after 15 months of planning.

South by North Strategies Ltd. is a research firm designed to ana-lyze social and economic policies in North Carolina.

Quinterno runs the firm from his home in Chapel Hill, but he said he hopes to quickly expand.

He said he also hopes to cater to a mix of public, private and non-profit organizations with an inter-est in social and economic issues and to make economic and social policy more accessible.

“ The issues are relevant,” Quinterno said. “What do these organizations do in the economic downturn?”

That’s what his firm does — help organizations through a wide vari-ety of services.

Some services offered include research and policy development, communications, advocacy and organizational solutions.

Quinterno is the only full-time employee of the firm but works closely with a network of friends, former co-workers and people he has dealt with in past settings that he uses for specific projects.

“I know their skills, talents and

where they might fit in,” Quinterno said.

Quinterno said he is currently working with a public organization in the eastern part of the state on a messaging campaign and docu-menting the economic impact.

He has many advisers that he uses, mostly from previous jobs.

“Find the right support and resources; they can help you,” Quinterno said.

Another resource Quinterno used and recommends is the North Carolina Small Business and Technology Development Center, an organization within the entre-preneurial studies program in the Kenan-Flagler Business School.

The organization provides coun-seling and educational services to help North Carolina businesses adapt to change, meet challenges and prepare for the future.

Quinterno has spent time work-ing for the University and with various organizations in the public policy arena since graduating from college.

He said building networks and

establishing a reputation are key to being successful.

“Get experience, work in organi-zations,” he said. “Without a repu-tation and a body of work to be able to show, it would be very difficult to be successful.”

These previous work experienc-es have taught Quinterno valuable lessons when it comes to running his own business.

“For me, it was more of hav-ing ideas and talents,” Quinterno said. “There were ways of doing work that I thought were a little different.

“I probably wouldn’t be able to do these things working for another organization. Maybe being my own boss might be the best way for me to advance the issues.”

It’s a small business right now, but Quinterno said he hopes to reach out to all types of organiza-tions across the state.

to focus on social, economic issues

student system to be overhauled by 2010

ONLINE: Learn more about the connectcarolina system at its web site, connectcarolina.unc.edu.

by alison shaystaff wrIter

After years of planning, the first phase of the new integrated admin-istrative system ConnectCarolina is going live.

The change will be accompanied by service outages in the campus directory and Student Information Services between July 14 and July 20, which will end with the first phase of the system being implemented.

ConnectCarolina will eventually encompass student systems, human resources, payroll and finance. The first phase consists of a new Internet portal through which the campus directory can be accessed.

Ultimately, administrators say ConnectCarolina will provide a cen-tralized system through which to improve efficiency and effectiveness of University-related operations.

“When the upgraded online campus directory launches on July 20, it will be accessible at its new portal location, AccessCarolina,” Debra Beller, communications spe-cialist for ConnectCarolina, said in an e-mail. “Students and employ-ees will see a redesigned directory interface with minor changes in the search or update tools.”

Several address fields will be avail-able to students and employees, and individuals will be able to provide several types of phone numbers.

During the service outages, cam-

pus users will still be able to use the directory to look up information, but won’t be able to update their personal information.

AccessCarolina will eventu-ally replace Student Central and Faculty/Staff Central. But it will not replace www.unc.edu as the primary source of information about UNC.

It will be used by students, facul-ty and staff to conduct transactions, such as registration and tuition payment, providing a centralized resource for such operations.

The July 20 changes are part of a larger project that will be imple-mented in phases.

During this first phase, the University’s identity and person management systems will be restruc-tured to PeopleSoft, the software on which the new administrative system is built. Whereas there are currently multiple systems across campus that house people data, the new system will unify this data.

In August, a new online applica-tion for undergraduate admissions will be launched. New student sys-tems will be implemented through October 2010 and other systems like human resources, payroll and finance will be developed and implemented in coming years.

“The main benefits are an inte-grated administrative system that makes interaction with the University better for everyone –

prospective students, students, faculty, staff and alumni,” Beller said in an e-mail.

Student systems to be devel-oped include admissions, stu-dent records, financial aid, and student financials, all of which will be accessed through the AccessCarolina portal.

“ConnectCarolina provides the University with the rare opportu-nity to rethink how we do business at all levels in ways we have never thought about before,” Beller said in an e-mail.

Hundreds of people from across UNC are involved in the project.

“Behind the scenes, many peo-ple from ITS and ConnectCarolina teams have been working diligently to create the system, clean up data and minimize service outages,” Beller said in an e-mail.

Planning has lasted several years, with conversations first beginning in fall 2005.

“I think, over time, the University community will be very pleased with the ConnectCarolina system,” Jerri Bland, the project director, said in an e-mail. “It is transformational, not transitional, and that will make interaction with the University bet-ter for students, faculty and staff.”

internet provided for community familiesby julie Crimminsstaff wrIter

Local students and their families living in Carolina Apartments in Carrboro received free access to a new high-speed Internet computer lab in their building July 1.

This is thanks to the Community Connection Program, an initiative launched last year by Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools which aims to bring Internet access to all stu-dents in their homes.

T he Caro l ina Apar tment Complex lab, the program’s pilot computer lab, offers four comput-ers which are available 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Thursday with the help of General Services Corporation, which operates the complex and will supply funding for the lab’s overhead costs, includ-ing Internet service fees.

In addition to being equipped with Internet access and Connect 2 School, a computer program which allows students to log in via the Internet to use their schools’ servers, the computers have been outfitted with English Language Rosetta Stone, a language-building program which will allow English as a second language students to study English.

According to program manager Renny Johnson, approximately 30 families with students enrolled in ESL classes are currently living in the Carolina Apartment Complex. In total, about 100 students will have access to the lab.

Tracy Quinton, manager of Carolina Apartment Complex, has

noted use of the lab by residents. “The children are using it,”

Quinton said. “I believe (the lab) will have a tremendous impact.”

The computers themselves were donated by Kramden Institute Inc., of Durham, a nonprofit organiza-tion which collects and refurbishes donated computers to redistribute each month to students nominat-ed by their schools. According to Johnson, Kramden Institute has donated computers to about 150 CHCCS students.

Monthly Internet service charg-es, however, which run from about 25 to 30 dollars per month, are often a barrier to Internet access. Internet Access Scholarships were provided to offset this cost, but funding, which comes from the school district, has since been exhausted.

“There is one issue, and that’s funding,” Johnson said.

Within the last year, Johnson estimates that the program has helped about 325 of the district’s roughly 1,000 students without at-home access to the Internet. Within the next year, he said, he hopes to host at least one Kramden com-puter giveaway at each district high school, provide wireless Internet access to two or three public hous-ing projects and open 12 to 14 labs.

“Ultimately the goal is to totally remove the digital divide between students in the district,” Johnson said.

“special venues,” provide specific community-oriented connections.

This month’s special venue is the Cybrary, located in the lower level of the Century Center.

The theme for the Cybrary's summer book club is “Be Creative,” so the venue will be displaying art-work created by patrons.

“It’s all about getting people to recognize art around them,” said ArtWalk board member Jackie Helvey, owner of UniqueOrn Enterprises.

The event also features demon-strations, such as when an artist brought her wheel just outside the gallery and threw pottery.

Meldrum said the demonstra-tion sparked interest and inspired visitors to ask more meaningful questions than if they were just looking at the pots themselves.

A venue must pay $100 to be listed on the Web site for a year. And if artists want to show some-where, they must contact the venue directly.

The Ackland Art Museum par-ticipates through their Art After Dark program, complete with a live musician and a cash bar.

This month, the Ackland will feature a talk from mixed-media artist Kaola Phoenix and a perfor-mance by synthesizer composer Andrew Robbins-Pollack.

University Mall has three galler-ies featured in 2ndFriday ArtWalk, each with its own wine tasting and

hors dourves. Each month, a strolling musi-

cian performs in the mall. This month will feature a guitarist.

“It has turned that second Friday around in Carrboro,” Helvey said.

“It’s nice that it not only happened, but it continues to happen and it has become sort of a destination.”

Department of Public Safety.The Assistant Director for

Parking Services, Cheryl Stout, said that DPS officials decided to switch to their internal registration system, which is a different site where students can register, but that nothing is visibly different to the customer.

Chintapalli said the new system was confusing because it is not sup-ported by any Web browser except Internet Explorer. Some computers, including lots of Macintoshes, don’t come with Internet Explorer.

Young said the system, “has been running smoothly and is ongoing,” since the switch.

In addition, all invalid charges on students’ debit or credit cards were reversed immediately, Stout said.

“I don’t think anyone expected the problems,” she added. “They didn’t encounter them in testing. The system intends to improve

things for students. We’re sincerely apologetic for any problems.”

She added that DPS officials are working to fix the internal error that created a software problem.

DPS heard from many of the stu-dents who initially experienced the problems but has tried to apologize and work to fix the issues as much as they can, Stout said.

“I think the law and medical stu-dents kind of thought we were the guinea pigs for the undergraduate students who registered the next day,” Russ said.

Chintapalli said he thought that getting parking passes first-come, first-serve was more effective than the lottery system but that DPS should have done more testing before letting the public use it.

“I think fundamentally the sys-tem is fairer, but they had a lot of kinks they needed to work out in the end,” Russ said.

said it was great to usher in a new era for the venue with the show.

“The club is open, all puns intended,” he said.

The festival started Tuesday with a show at Carrboro’s Reservoir.

Taking its local focus even fur-ther, this year’s festival also boasts a Chapel-Hill-centered charity. The proceeds of this year’s event will go to CyTunes.org, a music

Web site set up to pay for the medical bills of Cy Rawls, the local music super-fan who died of can-cer last year, and to Duke’s Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center, where Rawls received treatment.

“We thought our money would go further with a well-focused local cause,” Sutton said. “So many peo-ple knew (Rawls) in this town.

“This guy was an absolute sweet-heart, and he would do anything for you, anything for anybody.”

With 11 more bands from all over

the Triangle scheduled to perform at Cat’s Cradle, Local 506 and the Cave, this year’s festival really does live up to its name. The best of the town’s venues are opening their doors for a week of homegrown fun.

Glenn Boothe, owner of the Local 506, where the idea was first thought up, says the festival is a great idea for the slow summer season.

“The night (Sutton) came up with the idea he was sitting at the bar at 506,” he said. “I thought, ‘Oh OK, I think it’s a cool idea, but in two

days from now I’ll never hear about this again.’”

But Boothe did hear about it again. And for the second year, the fruits of that idea will become a buffet of music.

“It makes it an event,” Boothe said. “Here’s a regular show, and it adds a flavor to it that makes it stick out. It makes it more the place to be.”

not they will return to their jobs in the fall, said John Dornan, execu-tive director of the Public School Forum, a Raleigh-based political think tank.

“People are waiting to hear whether the axe will fall on them next,” he said.

Even if the budget is passed now, Dornan said the frustration with how the state has handled the eco-nomic crisis will continue for the next few years.

“It’s not that this is a one time occurrence,” he said. “There’s going to be continuing anxiety for a year or two.”

Sen. Ellie Kinnaird, D-Orange, said frustration in a time like this

was inevitable, but legislators need the time to figure out a way to han-dle the state’s $4.6 billion deficit.

She said the House and Senate are far from reaching a compro-mise on proposed tax increases.

“Quickly doesn’t seem to be one of the possibilities right now,” she said.

comprised of Provost Bernadette Gray-Little and Vice Chancellor of Finance Dick Mann will work to decide where the cuts will be made.

Elmira Mangum, senior associ-ate provost, and Roger Patterson, associate vice chancellor for finance, will assist. And Bruce Carney will replace Gray-Little once she steps down tomorrow to move to the chancellorship at the University of Kansas.

One of their first focuses will be finding areas to cut that affect as few classes as possible.

Once the cuts are distributed, decisions on reductions to specific schools and departments will fall to their respective deans.

Although those deans don’t know what level of cuts they will be dealing with, they are already preparing with frequent planning and meetings with other adminis-trators and senior faculty.

“Any additional cut will affect the school,” said Jack Boger, dean of the School of Law.

“It depends on where the axe might fall. All of this will restrict

or circumscribe the service we offer to students and faculty. The ques-tion is how much.”

Karen Gil, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, said her first cuts would focus away from employees by suspending major equipment or renovation projects in different departments.

But Gil and other deans said a majority of the state appropria-tions they receive may go toward faculty and staff salaries.

Most deans agreed that they won’t be cutting any classes for the fall semester, with students already registered.

Alternate sources of revenue to make up for lost state money are scarce. Finances from grants and private gifts often come with spe-cific requirements for their use.

Boger said areas outside of the sciences don’t have as many out-

side organizations to turn to for extra funding, and that even those groups are reeling from budget cuts.

Some budget decisions may be made by legislators instead of UNC officials. Administrators have been fighting to regain control of spe-cific cuts mandated to areas such as research centers and institutes on campus.

They argued that they were better informed when it came to determining where budget cuts would have the least impact.

Thorp said administrators now expect more flexibility in where those cuts will be made. But Bowles has asked campus leaders to still stick to government recommenda-tions as closely as they can.

News of the Weekus, russia agree to reduce missiles

M O S C O W ( M C T ) — Presidents Barack Obama and Dmitry Medvedev on Monday agreed to cut as much as a third of the nuclear warheads in their strategic arsenals but acknowl-edged that disagreements linger about a proposed U.S. missile defense shield.

Obama and Medvedev stressed that the proposal marked a turn away from the post-Cold War lows of the past few years.

In addition to the conversation about nuclear weapons, Russia said it would begin allowing the U.S. to ship arms for Afghanistan through the country. Russia and the U.S. also are resuming military-to-military cooperation, a process suspended after the Russia-Georgia war last summer.

Speaking to reporters during Obama’s first trip here as presi-dent, both men said that they were determined to put the tensions of recent years behind them.

“It is not a simple job because the backlog of problems is quite impressive,” Medvedev said.

Obama said that relations have “suffered from a sense of drift,” but that he and Medvedev were “committed to leaving behind the suspicion and the rivalry of the past.”

Palin resigns as alaska governor

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (MCT) — Gov. Sarah Palin stunned Alaska and the nation Friday by abruptly announcing her resigna-tion from office. Palin will be gov-ernor only until July 26, when Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell will take over.

Palin made the announcement at a hastily called press conference held at her Wasilla home as the holiday weekend began.

Palin said she first decided not to run for re-election next fall when her term is up and then figured she’d just quit now. She said she didn’t want to be a “lame duck,” a political phrase for an officeholder approaching the end of their term and losing clout to get their political agenda through.

“Many just accept that lame duck status, and they hit the road. They draw a paycheck. They kind of milk it. And I’m not going to put Alaskans through that,” she said.

Palin could have waited until next year to announce her plan not to run for re-election. Her expla-nation makes no sense, said state Rep. Mike Hawker, R-Anchorage, a leading critic of her.

“That isn’t a reason. Seated governors just don’t resign in the last year of their term,” he said.

s.C. serial killer dead, police say

GAFFNEY, S.C. (MCT) — Authorities have identified a man killed by North Carolina police as the man they think shot five people to death in a six-day peri-od last week in this mostly rural Cherokee County community.

Law enforcement officials identified the suspect Monday night as 41-year-old Patrick Tracy Burris. They said he was a felon with a lengthy record who was paroled in April after serv-ing more than eight years for felony breaking and entering and larceny.

Authorities said bullets in the gun found on Burris after he was killed by police early Monday near Gastonia, N.C., matched those used to kill residents in and around Gaffney, some 40 miles away. Investigators did not have an address for Burris. While evidence left little doubt he was the killer, they still had no idea why he did it.

“He was unpredictable. He was scary. He was weird,” said Neil Dolan, deputy director of the S.C. State Law Enforcement Division.

Police for several days had blanketed Gaffney and surround-ing Cherokee County, in case the killer would strike again.

America’s true team plays a non-US sport

Powell latimerUntil i Comatosis

Happy Birthday, USA. It’s this time of year

that we appreciate every-thing that’s great about our coun-try. The American dream baby! Making something out of nothing, building success from hard, hon-est work. Who doesn’t like a little bit o’ that?

So, in honor of our nation’s birthday, let’s celebrate the national team that most embodies the American spirit.

I give you the U.S. soccer team. Yeah, that’s right — the most ‘Un-’American sport is the one in which the Yanks field the most ‘American’ team.

There are none of the super-stars and bloated egos that come with USA basketball or baseball. Only the team’s goalie, Tim Howard, plays for an elite club (Everton, in the English Premier League).

There are no lucrative con-tracts here. The players are, by and large, blue-collar players who play for smaller clubs scattered through Europe and MLS, just trying to make a living.

But that’s the best part — there is no higher honor for these guys than playing for their country. They wouldn’t dream of turn-ing down an invitation to play. (Remember how Kobe Bryant and other basketball players didn’t want to play in the 2000 Olympics?)

Talk about some national pride. And for defender Oguchi

Onyewu, this inspired play dur-ing the Confederations Cup even earned him a promotion of sorts in his usual job. He signed with soccer giant A.C. Milan — becom-ing only the second American to join Italy’s famed Serie A.

Still, European commentators and experts lament the team’s lack of style, of finesse. They do

not look like Brazil or France or Spain — the powerhouses who artfully work the ball around and make soccer “the beautiful game.” The U.S. tends to make up for its lack of talent with an excess of hustle and effort.

Their goals often come in scrums or broken plays around the opposing goal. But I dare you to not yell your head off when the U.S. scores a goal — it’s like a last-second buzzer-beater two or three times a game.

They still haven’t mastered the art of taking a dive and howling bloody murder for phantom fouls — they just bounce up and con-tinue playing.

And best of all, even though it’s not always pretty, it’s not the way the rest of the world does it and despite their underdog ranking, Team USA wins.

They just whooped the No. 1 team in the world, Spain. They took Brazil, the Lakers of the soc-cer world, to the very limit. They almost won the Confederations Cup with a stunning come-from-behind run after being blasted in the group stage by both Italy and that same Brazilian squad.

So set off some fireworks because at the moment, there’s nothing more American than watching the U.S. soccer team play.

Whoever thought that sentence would ever make sense?

take a listen with Bombadil

dth File Photo

Chapel hill’s Bombadil performed in the Pit last year. the band celebrates its new Cd with a listening party at durham’s Golden Belt on saturday.

By linnie GreenestaFF writer

When Bombadil wants to cel-ebrate its CD release, there are few things that can get in the way of the party.

In the face of tendonitis that has forced bassist Daniel Michalak to go on an indefinite hiatus from music, Bombadil decided to throw a listening party Saturday for its new album Tarpits and Canyonlands, where fans can hear the new record and view artwork, an improvisa-tional guerrilla marching band and fellow rockers Luego and The Tender Fruits.

The unconventional party format came as a response to Michalak’s two-year battle with the condition.

“He couldn’t drive a car, couldn’t write a letter,” said Bryan Rahija, a member of Bombadil. “So with his health in mind, after two years of hoping things would get better, taking medications and doing yoga and stuff like that, it wasn’t work-ing. So we had to stop.”

But instead of resigning them-selves to reclusion after they were forced to cancel their original release party at Cat’s Cradle, Bombadil forged ahead with plans for a lis-tening party at Durham’s new urban arts campus, Golden Belt.

“We just wanted to get the record out there, and we’re not really sure

when we’re going to play,” Rahija said. “We wanted to spread the word about the record and celebrate, to throw a party for everyone who’s been there with us for so long.”

The space itself was a major draw for the band, which hails from Durham. “I’d heard about this new space, the Golden Belt, and it’s a really awesome and comfortable space,” Rahija said. “We’re not huge rock club guys, so we wanted a space where people could be comfortable without smoke or complete dark-ness, a more relaxed atmosphere where we could do different things.”

Allison Polish, Golden Belt’s marketing director, also expressed excitement about the role local musi-cians like Bombadil will play for the future. “One of the buildings on our campus, Building 7, is slated to be a music venue,” she said.

Golden Belt has already hosted local favorites The Rosebuds and Lost in the Trees, and Polish said she expects the venue to host many more local musicians in the future.

While the listening party might sound like a disappointing plan, Rahija said the band looks at it as an opportunity to fulfill some of their long-standing desires for an unconventional show.

“You know, it has food, which we all love. Daniel always had a dream of doing a show at a Chinese buf-

fet,” Rahija said. Bombadil is also incorporating

visual art into the show. It comes as a result of a meeting between Bombadil and Idiots’ Books pub-lishers Matthew Swanson and Robbi Behr, whom the guys met at a show.

“They enjoyed the concert and invited us to come to their barn where they live and have their workshop, and we just fell in love instantly with their art,” Rahija said. “A few weeks later they just sent us this basically already pro-duced packaging and had the com-

plete vision already laid out for us in the shape of a CD.”

The images depict a man who flies off of a building and through many different terrains, ultimate-ly crashing and walking away unscathed. It’s a fitting visual for a band which has weathered adver-sity to put on this event.

“I’m kind of hoping that the night will just be sort of a collection of things that we like as a band.”

Kiffin brings new attitude to Tennessee

Chris hemPsonstill Got it

Trying to put a clever spin on how much Tennessee football coach Lane Kiffin is disliked

is like Kobe Bryant trying to feint happiness at having Ron Artest as a new teammate. You feel contrac-tually obliged to do so, but let’s be serious; it’s plainly irrational.

Because quite frankly, Kiffin is hated. Not Bernie Madoff hated, but clearly on par with soccer star Dimitar Berbatov.

But what most people don’t understand — or just don’t seem to care about — is that Kiffin is the best thing to happen to the Vols since, well, Billy Ratliff. Kiffin’s confident. He’s brash. And he loves making fun of Urban Meyer. I dare you to find three better character traits in a person.

Yet every writer I’ve seen, every television reporter I’ve watched, every person I’ve talked to, has some sort of vendetta against Kiffin. He’s arrogant. He’s a jerk. He’s a cheater. He has bad hair. Good lord. I haven’t seen this much complain-ing since the news of Jeremy Foley’s birth was announced.

The latest outcry against Kiffin stems from the news that the 13-year-old brother of Vols’ star Eric Berry had committed to Tennessee. Although these reports were misleading, media agencies throughout the country ran with the story. The boy, Evan, only said he wanted to play for Tennessee, and when approached for more, said he was committed.

Maybe I’m completely out of the loop, but I don’t really con-sider that a commitment. One, he hasn’t been offered a scholarship. Two, he’s 13. Three, I say similar statements all the time, but no one writes stories about me being com-mitted to Tennessee.

In reality, Tennessee football

has become the hated outsider. The DeSagana Diop of college football if you will. And everyone’s trying — or better be trying — to get their licks in now. Because in a few years at most, Kiffin is going to be taunting every coach, run-ning up every score and basically saying some nasty expletives to every rival in the sport.

And there won’t be a thing that Meyer, Nick “What Textbooks?” Saban or Steve “Pump My Gas” Spurrier can do about it.

Already, you can begin to see the changes in the football pro-gram. Behind Phillip Fulmer, the Vols were the laughingstock of the SEC. Spurrier basically stole Tennessee’s lunch money every year as Florida’s coach, and the Big Orange’s defense coordinator, John Chavis, was better known for being a habitual pansy rather than a good coach.

Now, every defensive recruit in the country seems to be at least considering Tennessee. Every offensive skill position player seems to dream of being used by

Kiffin like a Dwayne Jarrett or a Mike Williams.

Heck, take this year for example. Kiffin was officially introduced as the Vols’ coach on the first of December. In basically two months, he salvaged an abysmal recruiting season by Fulmer and reeled in a top-10 class. He signed the nation’s No. 1 player in Bryce Brown.

Though some recruits were turned off by his persona, Kiffin couldn’t care less. He knows he’s going to get players. He knows he’s going to get wins. He knows he’s going to be a success.

It’s unbelievably refresh-ing to see such actions out of a Tennessee coach. For so long, I’ve sat witness to an oversized piece of lard. I’ve cursed repeatedly over Chavis’ tendencies to willingly allow opponents to score because: Who really wants to win?

Well, Lane Kiffin surely does. And if he’s anything like Kobe, Kiffin will undoubtedly get his, too.

By JONatHaN pattISHallstaff writer

People might tell you, by way of complaint, that “Public Enemies” is a slower movie than they expected and that it doesn’t center complete-ly on Johnny Depp’s piratic acting or explosive shoot-outs.

But such complaints miss the point of the movie entirely. It’s true that “Public Enemies” isn’t Depp’s strongest performance, but it’s strong enough to pass muster, on top of being the best period piece to come out of Hollywood since “There Will Be Blood.”

The genius of the movie’s set-ting is in the details and is estab-lished with very few flaws. The casual way that director Michael Mann focuses on the little things (craftsman-style furniture, wavy glass, nervous tics) makes for a movie that feels effortless in its period.

That period, the 1930s, also happens to be one of the most interesting and important of the 20th century, so the story of “Public Enemies” can’t be any-thing but captivating.

John Dillinger, the bank rob-ber played by Depp, was a major figure in the “public enemies” era of American crime during the Depression, and that title was nothing if it wasn’t ironic.

Most of these criminals were actually public stars and folk heroes who made the point to rob banks and not working people,

as the movie successfully drama-tizes.

They came from a strange time and place where poor white and poor black cultures mixed under repressive circumstanc-es, giving America rock ’n’ roll, the Communist Party USA, and swashbuckling populist bank robbers.

These things form the fore-ground and background to “Public Enemies,” and it could hardly feel more real, despite the fact that many of the plot details are fictionalized.

For those disappointed in Depp’s acting, which shouldn’t be many, there are a handful of supporting actors who give tre-mendous performances. Stephen Lang as Charles Winstead, the Texas ranger who actually gunned Dillinger down, and Billy Crudup as the czarist J. Edgar Hoover, act from the two poles of the law enforcement establishment, show-ing incredible range.

But the best performance, better even than Depp’s, comes from Marion Cotillard, acting Dillinger’s half-Indian girlfriend Billy Frechette. Cotillard is beau-tiful, relatable and, most of all, an anchor for Depp’s character. She

plays the role with chemistry. In an age of dispossession, John

Dillinger gave the public the sense that he was theirs, that he was one of them. He was so good at rob-bing banks that he thought he would last forever.

It was a foolhardy illusion, just like the economic bubbles that periodically pop into recessions and depressions, then as now.

But it gives us a subject that is incredibly relevant, a folk-hero from way back when that has a lot

to do with our lives today. They may not make folk heroes like they used to, but as long as we get them as tangibly and organically as we get them from movies like this, we should be OK.

musicshortsBOWerBIrdSupper airfolk

Raleigh’s Bowerbirds are a strange animal.

At first glance there’s really nothing to what they do, just a pleasant mix of slow acoustic gui-tar and accordion and some well-written transcendental thoughts about the environment strung out on voices as smooth as the brown Mississippi.

It’s a good gimmick but one that is seemingly doomed by myriad limitations.

But this Raleigh trio have a couple of tricks under their flannel sleeves that take this sophomore effort from slightly enjoyable back-ground music to incredibly moving poetry.

For starters, they really under-stand how to get the most out of their arrangements.

On “Silver Clouds” the open-ing of Phil Moore alone over an ebbing and flowing guitar part would be enough. His voice cuts like a winter wind getting under your coat as he begs with aching insecurity to know his place in the world.

But then accordion breaks in, building tangible anticipation as drums pound simply and insis-tently in the background. His simple plea is buried in beautiful noise, emphasizing the heady rush that comes from trying to figure life out.

The second and most impor-tant strength is that Moore is just so darn good at making ordinary things sound gorgeous.

On closer “This Day,” he pins down the lazily enjoyable medi-ocrity of most days with impec-cable clarity. “This day is no special day/This day will see no placards given/This day will see no dismembered limbs,” he sings. No greatness, no atrocity, just an average day. And one to be glad for.

Like that day, Upper Air is a wonderful mix of parts that by themselves aren’t that spectacu-lar. But together those elements make something beautiful and entrancing, like the sunset of an otherwise forgettable summer day.

BOmBadIltarpits and canyon-landsfolk

Whimsy can only get you so far. It’s a fact that has tripped up the best in music.

You can throw the weaker mate-rial from Bob Dylan, the Who and the Rolling Stones down there as its victims.

And it was an over-reliance on charming weirdness that held back A Buzz, A Buzz, the 2007 album from Chapel Hill’s Bombadil.

Building beyond artificial wit and adding real fire to the arrange-ments, Tarpits and Canyonlands reveals the group to be much more than just a bunch of well-mannered modern minstrels.

This record tackles hard issues such as decaying marriages and death with the easygoing confi-

dence Bombadil has always dis-played.

Sure the standard fare is here too and better than ever.

“Reasons” is the group’s cut-est-ever love song, throwing out reasons for a lover to stay while bashfully telling her not to listen to them, and “Otto the Bear” is a Beatles-aping animal “tail” set to a vibrant lockstep of horns and piano.

But it’s the more profound stuff that really makes this one special.

“Pyramid” builds banjo and flute into a satirical mini-oddessy that riffs on the uselessness of monu-ments.

“The prophets will forget you/ history is painted gold,” the band sings in unison, making a lovely joke on the fact that people often honor the relic more than the dead.

But the best song here is actu-ally downright depressing, quite the curve ball from the happy-go-lucky buskers seen in the Pit last year.

“Matthew” is a suicide tale set in math and science school. Melding piano balladry to incredibly witty emo, it tempers warm nostalgia with lines that really make you feel the pain.

“Did nobody bother you to tell that Catholics would banish you to — well at least you’re in a bet-ter part of Hell,” the band sadly jokes in the chorus with the type

of twisted humor that always tanks in a eulogy.

Not every song lives up to this standard, and the record’s ever-shifting themes and styles make for a incoherent listen, but when Bombadil reaches its high points — both whimsical and sad — it nails them.

ON tHe BeacHfinalroCk

You might know “On The Beach” as a famous movie with a great make-out scene.

And though the Chapel Hill band that shares its name has the tools to make waves, they’re not used to full effect on this debut EP.

On The Beach, which includes members o f I Was Tota l ly

Destroying It and of the now-defunct Strunken White, unde-niably mirrors the hard-rocking sensibilities of the members’ other bands.

Final might rock, but its lyrics are weak — at least, when they’re decipherable. “Blue Lights,” an energetic and stomp-inducing track in the middle of the album, seems flawless until you hear the only discernible lyric, the disap-pointing “It’s too late to fall in line.”

While many of the tracks on Final get bogged down in monot-onous riffs and uninventive lyrics, “April is Cruel,” the last track on the album, a clever nod to a T.S. Eliot poem, stands in stark contrast to the mediocrity of previous songs on the record.

It’s the kind of song that ends too quickly, full of lush arrange-ments and gentle guitars that are more ambient than angry.

Far from flawless, the energy and musicianship behind this set of inconsistent songs proves that On The Beach has the potential to go a lot farther — and become a lot better — than this EP might indicate.

So while Final might not be the best, it’s full of enough prom-ise to make it sad that the band’s Thursday performance at the Cave will likely be their last.

diverecommendsAlbum from the Vaults:Michael Jackson, Number Ones: Over-publicized memorials aside, MJ was a hit-maker like no other. And to remember him, last week 108,000 people rushed out and bought this balanced 2003 col-lection of his top-spot gems. It’s a cursory exercise, but with Jackson, it’s the hits that are important, and this has most of his best. Long live the King of Pop.

Movie from the Vaults:“Free Willie”: We’ll stick with Jackson-related material here. “Will You Be There,” his song from this 1993 is typical late-Jackson, but the vocal performance is pretty solid. In addition to the song, those scenes where Willy, the orca which is trying to be free, jumps over people are at least good for a laugh.

New printing adds security

BY CourtneY tYeSTAFF WRITER

With new printing upgrades, students and staff will now only see their own print jobs at campus printing stations.

New security features will require University students and staff to sign in using their Onyens and passwords at Information Technology Services printing sta-tions. Unlike before, this will allow users to see only their own print jobs at the ITS stations while keep-ing other print jobs private.

On Monday, Campus Services Information Technology will install the Pharos version 8.0 upgrade. All campus printing stations will be closed from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. while the upgrades are installed.

In addition to updating the print system, Campus Services IT will also add a security feature to the ITS print labs that requires login with an Onyen.

The LDAP connector will also protect students from others using their accounts to pay for print jobs. For instance, if a student forgets to log out of a release station, no one

else will be able to use their account to pay for documents, since only their own print jobs are viewable.

“On a laptop or lab machine, enter an Onyen and a job title in the Pharos popup client. No pass-word is required at this point,” said Cristóbal Palmer, a graduate stu-dent in the School of Information and Library Science, explaining the features of the new system.

“This allows me to send a print job to my hallmate who is in an ITS lab for him to print, for example.”

The upgrade will also allow students using 64-bit versions of Windows to take advantage of the printing service by installing a new pop-up client.

Students who have the Carolina Computing Initiative printing sys-tem installed on their laptops will not need to make any changes as the Pharos pop-up client will be inter-nally updated. Unix users will still be able to print to ITS labs, as well, by simply substituting their Onyens for their usernames when printing.

“One main concern students seem to have had is about Macintosh users losing the ability to print with

the new system, but the upgrades will be compatible,” Classroom Management Director Jason Li said. “There are no issues at this point. Everyone seems to be on board and pleased with the upgrades.”

Because the updated system will require an Onyen and password login at printing stations, only stu-dents and University affiliates will be able to access printing services. Local residents using public com-puters at the Davis Library and Undergraduate Library will no longer be able to print to the ITS lab printers through the purchase of a guest print card.

Backgrounds on all ITS lab com-puters have been changed to a mes-sage detailing the upgrades and new lab policies. Students will also receive an e-mail explaining the changes.

“I think this change is a great step in the right direction, but I can picture more improvements in the future,” Palmer said. “For example, I think swiping your One Card should automatically fill in your Onyen when you walk up to a station, but that’s not something this upgrade will be able to do.”

uNC renews contract with Nike“Through our research, we knew that Nike was the major player for an all-sports agreement.”DiCk BaDDour, dIREcToR oF AThlETIcS

BY anDrew HarrellUnIvERSITy EdIToR

A new contract between UNC and Nike will keep campus athletes adorned with the signature swoosh logo for at least another decade.

The 10-year contract provides all varsity sports with shoes, uni-forms, balls, coaching gear and other equipment.

Dick Baddour, director of ath-letics, said the renegotiation of the prior contract with Nike was in the best interest of both parties.

“We were interested in some immediate changes regarding the value of the product we get,” he said.

“We felt like if we could get that allotment approved immediately, it would help us financially.”

Included in the contract is $2 million for the Chancellor’s Academic Enhancement Fund, more than double the previous amount Nike gave to the fund. Chancellor Holden Thorp has des-ignated that money to benefit fac-ulty support.

“Budget cuts have hurt the most

in paying fixed term faculty and graduate students,” Thorp said. “I wanted to use it to help shore up some of that.”

Other areas the contract covers include team tours and travel, host-ing tournaments and $1 million for lighting and sound renovations at the Smith Center.

The new deal also places all UNC coaches under a consulting contract with Nike, which involves participating in clinics and giving feedback on new equipment and products. Previously, fewer than 10 coaches of the University’s 28 varsity teams had such a contract with Nike.

The apparel company will also support the academic and athletic excellence fund, which provides bonus payments to coaches based on the accomplishments of their student-athletes both in the class-room and on the court or field.

The contract’s renegotiation was made with three years remaining

on the prior agreement. Baddour said they decided not to wait and examine options with other com-panies once that contract expired because Nike is one of the few orga-nizations that are able to maintain the type of all-sports agreement that UNC has.

“Through our research, we knew that Nike was the major player for an all-sports agreement,” he said. “There are other companies that handpick sports on campuses, but not really companies that can sup-port all of the programs.”

Baddour added that the reputa-tion of UNC’s larger and more suc-cessful programs like men’s basket-ball is a draw for Nike and benefits the other sports programs. But he said Nike is interested in get-ting into other programs as well, citing a push into lacrosse as an example.

Ignore the hype about swine fluLooks like we’ve got another

pandemic on our hands, everyone.

The swine flu is here, and with the hype it’s getting, it apparently means serious business.

All right, you know the drill. Everyone needs to get their

hands on bottled water, breath-ing masks and duct tape right now. And someone call CNN, so they can keep obsessing over Twitter updates.

Come on, this is an emergency, people.

Unless you happen to look at the actual statistics for the new swine flu outbreak, that is.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is a government

agency charged with monitor-ing illnesses in the United States.

The good people at the CDC spent all winter monitoring the flu season, and they’ve come up with a handy list of facts for people to look through.

Once you sift through swine flu’s statistics, it becomes clear that all the hype it’s getting is completely pointless.

As it turns out, the H1N1 virus — what’s known as swine flu — is just the flu. Who knew?

It isn’t even actual swine flu. It’s just a new type of regular influenza that people thought was swine flu earlier in the out-break.

In fact, it seems that the more common strains of the flu are probably more dangerous than the so-called swine flu.

The CDC estimates that more than 36,000 Americans die each year from complications caused by the flu — like pneumonia and other illnesses.

Compare that to the swine flu’s 34,000 American infections and 170 deaths as of July 2.

Of course it’s tragic that people have died from this new flu out-break.

There’s nothing funny or pointless about people dying from the flu.

But until people start coming back as zombies, pigs or some combination of the two, it’s hard to justify the attention this illness is getting.

It’s not that big of a deal.More Americans die from

salmonella each year in the U.S. than swine flu has killed so far.

In short, handling raw chick-en could be more dangerous than this disease.

Average people: Stop worry-ing. News sources: Stop talking about it quite so much. That’s all I ask.

The chancellor’s office is han-dling this the right way. Every couple weeks, we get an e-mail reminding us that the swine flu exists, and then we go back to our lives.

Hopefully, future deaths are kept to a minimum and this swine flu outbreak fades into his-tory by the year’s end.

In the meantime, remember that this is just the flu. It’s no more dangerous than most other seasonal sicknesses.

Ignore the hype, and enjoy your summer.

OpiniOn sTaFFEr

Our student leaders need to do more about bud-get cuts.

They need to organize a joint student lobbying effort.

Earlier in the decade, stu-dents led protests against cuts to the UNC system. This year, the system and the University are facing severe cuts, and stu-dent leaders haven’t organized so much as a single protest.

Maybe it’s because we all know the state has to cut funds somewhere.

Maybe it’s because our lead-ers don’t think a protest would be effective.

But students have been noticeably absent from this year’s budget process.

That’s not to say that student

leaders like Greg Doucette, president of the UNC-system A s s o c i a t i o n o f S t u d e n t Governments, or Student Body President Jasmin Jones haven’t been doing anything. But they’ve not organized stu-dents into an effective lobbying group.

Doucette recently said he’s been trying to get information to legislators without being melodramatic because that turns off legislators.

But being nice isn’t how you win in politics. You have to show the force of numbers. College students are voters. Our voice counts just as much as all the other groups lobbying for funds in Raleigh.

Doucette also said he’s work-

ing on coordinating efforts with student leaders and the UNC general administration.

That’s not good enough. Student leaders alone won’t be as effective as student protests, and the general administration doesn’t always look out for the interests of students.

It might be too late this time to get a protest organized. But if budget negotiations are still going on in the fall, our student leaders have an obligation to both the UNC-system student body and the University stu-dent body to organize a mas-sive lobbying effort against the budget cuts to the UNC system.

Such efforts have worked before. They could work again.

Do moreStudent leaders should use numbers to lobby the GA

Municipal election sea-son has started.

And there are ways in which the town government affects students, often more than realized.

Town policies regarding safety and town growth have a direct impact on campus life. And students can use town elections to voice their opin-ions on such matters.

The town government has a significant role in regulating celebratory events on Franklin Street. Halloween festivities were modified in 2008 to ensure the safety of students. The new Homegrown Halloween made efforts to downsize the number of out-of-towners.

Other safety issues that

affect students are panhan-dling and homelessness down-town. The policies that the town council and mayor draft affect the daily life of any stu-dent who walks down Franklin Street.

Then there are all the mat-ters having to do with the town’s expansion.

Carolina North is a go. And for better or for worse, the town is expanding.

As the town continues to grow, students will be affected by the changes.

As residents, students will experience increased traffic, changes made to the ever frus-trating parking demands and perhaps even a change in the feel of the whole community.

There are definitely some perks for students as the com-munity grows.

The Downtown Wireless Pilot Project provides free wireless from various access points downtown. The pro-gram might eventually lead to free wireless Internet all over town.

The outcome of this year’s elections will not only affect how these issues are handled but also other policies that affect students’ lives as Chapel Hill residents.

Some students might not be able to vote in local elections, but all of us should still stay informed.

This is where we live. These elections will affect us.

Good news: The campus printing system is get-ting a much-needed

update. This update to the system is

set to go live this month.The new update will let

those poor souls using 64-bit versions of Windows — a more advanced version of Windows — install the print-ing software, Pharos, on their computers.

There’s also good news for everyone with less advanced operating systems.

You will only see the jobs you’ve sent to the printing line when you step up to release a print job.

That’s right.Once the new update is

installed, we won’t have to

wait for those people who haven’t figured out how to alphabetize the list of print-ing jobs to sift through every job sent to the printer in the past hour.

That’s because lab users will now have to swipe their One Cards and sign in with their Onyens to release a job at the printer.

And the pop-up screen on users’ laptops will now ask for an Onyen before the job is sent.

Users don’t have to do any-thing to get the update.

The changes to the laptop software will be made on the University’s server, so the lap-top pop-up box will just start asking for Onyens when the update is ready.

We’re thrilled that the print-ing system is finally getting an update.

The one downside is that the new system won’t let non-UNC affiliated people — people with-out Onyens — take advantage of the lost-cost printing in the labs.

That could be a potential problem.

But frankly, it seems like a small cost to pay for the ben-efits of the update.

The current version has lagged behind the more advanced 64-bit operating systems too long. And it’s not fun waiting for people to sift through what seems like hun-dreds of print jobs.

Hopefully the new system will ease lines in the labs.

A name you’ll needPrinting system update is a great improvement

EDiTOriaL CarTOOn by tim Goheen, mcclatchy-tribune

Fan shutoffs are unfair to university workers

TO THE EDITOR:The Energy Monitoring and

Control System — EMCS — staff saves energy by cycling HVAC — heating, ventilation and air conditioning — system fans off at night and on week-ends.

Night shutdown programs are in place in 24 buildings across campus.

And these programs generate annual savings of approximately $106,000.

Now th is sounds great that the University is saving money.

But the sad part is that you have 24 buildings with people working inside of them at night, cleaning the building of trash left by the daytime personal without air conditioning and ventilation.

Some of the chemicals used require proper ventilation.

Plus it would seem only humane to allow the nighttime works the same privileges as the daytime workers.

I am glad that the system is saving money — kudos — on that, but maybe it could be set to cycle on every hour and then off for 45 minutes and so on.

This would still save money and allow the workers the small privilege of having some type of ventilation and air conditioning in the summertime.

Plain and simple, it is hot in these buildings.

Would you want to be in your home with no air conditioning when it is 95 degrees outside?

I think not! Savings of approximately

$106,000 sounds great until you ask the worker who may or may not complain about the conditions what it feels like to work in one of the buildings at night.

Their answer would likely be “hot enough to make Chapel Hill tar.”

thank you for rejecting me, Kenan-flagler business School. i can now pursue the career i didn’t have the courage to before.

Hempson: rude. brazilian soccer is a powerhouse, and the u.S. team stumbled across a miracle by making it to the finals. and the true score was 4 to 2, and the whole world knows it.

Hey random frat boy in my class: if you want to help diminish the stereotypes of fraternities, at least try to not act like a complete narcissistic little boy. i could care less about our keggercapades and how many “hot chicks” came to your last party.

dear single, decent, hetero-sexual, unc males: Get some courage and ask her out already. What are you waiting for?

the stealth plan to impose a $175 parking fee for scooters is outrageous and downright theft! the university is once again trying to balance the budget shortfall on the backs of its workers.

The Daily Tar Heel

Sarah Palin is back in the spot l ight a f te r s tepp ing down as governor. Let’s hope she doesn’t step down into the

Lower 48.

Top of the Hill is buying more space for banquets near their building. At least one busi-ness on Franklin is thriving. Maybe

they could buy the Varsity.

They’re on the loose, and three people have been bitten so far. As always, stay away from pairs of glowing eyes in the

dark.

It’s nice that UNC Health Care is keeping up with the times by using Twitter. But is Tweeting during heart surgery the

best idea?

Rupert Grint, the actor who plays Ron Weasley, recovered from his bout with swine flu. At least Grint didn’t have the

dreaded Spattergroit.

We’re glad acute-care hospi-tals in the state are now tobacco free but surprised that people wanted to smoke down the

hall from cancer wards.

retired professors should help conservative groups

TO THE EDITOR:I fully agree with your edito-

rial in the June 25 edition (“Stop censoring: Faculty should help out conservative groups”).

I would add that the University faculty, overwhelmingly leftist though it is, should make an effort to avoid being seen as suppressing conservative student groups.

I suggest that retired faculty members be allowed to be advis-ers to student groups.

A retired professor is no lon-ger subject to having his career advancement, or his appointment to this or that committee, jeopar-dized by the resentment — open or covert — of his colleagues if he takes on the job of advising a con-servative student group.
