That which is crooked cannot be made straight.ECCLESIASTES 1:15

When Frank PorterGraham, then theUNC system president,announced in 1935 hisdesire to return col-

lege sports to their amateur roots, alumniand boosters complained the reforms heproposed would cripple North Carolinassports teams.

The editors of this newspaper respondedshortly afterward by posing the followingquestion: Do you want to recognize ath-letics as the big business that it is?

Three quarters of a century later, werestill waiting for a response. And so, in theshadow of the Wainstein report, perhapsthe most damning proof to date that high-profile athletic programs and academic

excellence continue to be at odds, it is timeto commit to an answer:Yes. Despite The Daily Tar Heels past

resistance to big-time college athletics, wewant to recognize that this University is inthe business of fielding high-budget, high-revenue sports teams for institutional gain.

We see little wrong with this arrange-ment, per se, other than that it has yet to

be formally acknowledged by the NCAAand its member institutions.

But it is precisely that disingenuousattitude toward the status quo that failsstudent-athletes. It is the unwillingness tofully face the obstacles they encounter intheir attempts to complete a degree whileessentially performing a full-time job andmanaging their celebrity. And it is thepretense that this is a reasonable demand

upon those whose compensation is socompromised that provides incentive forfraud here and elsewhere.

The damaged link between academicachievement and athletic eligibility oughtto be formally broken. Athletes recruitedto this school as such should continue to begiven the opportunity to pursue a degree,

but they should not be compelled to do so.This would not preclude students from

seeking to excel academically on their ownterms, but it would eliminate the need tocover up any existing deficiencies in pri-mary and secondary education, which areonly magnified in the face of demandingpractice and travel schedules.

The student-athletes at this school areremarkable people. A significant majority

are perfectly capable and willing to com-plete a quality education while perform-ing at the highest levels of their sports.Proposing that they not be required to do sodoes not undermine or fail to acknowledgethese strengths. Instead, it puts more powerin the hands of student-athletes to deter-mine the terms upon which they are affili-ated with this University and live their lives.

Providing student-athletes with achoice of whether to enroll as full-timestudents would create more visible dis-tinctions between athletes and the stu-dent body, something the collegiate modelabhors. But these distinctions alreadyexist: For example, student reportersmust go through the athletic depart-ment whose employees act as playersgatekeepers to speak with athletes who

are otherwise their friends. Some ath-letes are barred from engaging in otherextracurriculars or find their social mediaaccounts subject to censorship. Thesesharp contrasts in the way athletes andmembers of the general student body aretreated must be formally acknowledgedand dealt with in an equitable manner.

We must either return to a model oftrue amateurism or work to accommodatethe reality that many student-athletes are,for all intents and purposes, employeesgiven a scholarship in return for a servicerendered. Attempts to have it both wayshave been primarily responsible for thefraud outlined in the Wainstein report.

A return to amateurism now seemsimpossible. It would involve eliminating

athletic scholarships and losing millionsof dollars in revenue that have fundedthe ascents of so many schools to great-ness. Professional-level athletics at theUniversity are immensely popular, andunderstandably so.

Athletics has given its community abeloved common culture. Its hard toimagine UNC without heroes like DeanSmith or stories like that of MichaelJordans go-ahead shot to win the 1982championship. These are the images thathave brought international attention tothis school and enhanced its prestige.

Similarly, the NCAA and its model ofamateur athletics seem to represent anobjective good for many students in allow-ing them to pursue a degree while doing

what they love. But the abundant good for

which this system is responsible cannot beallowed to justify an institutional structurethat allows, if not encourages, action indirect opposition to the best interests ofsome student-athletes.

Unintended consequences of a differentnature will arise from any overhaul of thecollegiate model. Issues of just compensa-tion and lost opportunities for non-reve-nue athletes should not be overlooked.

But todays collegiate model is not sac-rosanct. Its flaws deserve to be consideredon balance with those of proposed alter-natives. We believe we have more to gainfrom an honest assessment of the relation-ship between athlete and university than

we have already lost by delaying this con-versation for decades.

The University is now consideringsteps toward de-emphasizing the require-ment that student-athletes be full-timestudents to remain eligible, including thepossibility of a mandatory academic red-shirt. Everything is on the table, thoughit must be acknowledged that whateveraction is taken toward this end will haveto occur, in fits and starts, within a cum-

bersome NCAA framework.Generations of Tar Heels born and bred

in the Carolina Way might struggle tobelieve that UNC now possesses the moralstanding to lead a fight to reform collegiateathletics. Yet in these first few weeks of thepost-Wainstein era, the national micro-phone and the public ear are trained uponus. Now is the time to redeem what wehave lost. Now is the time to speak up.

Entrepreneurs to help town simplify

4 states vote on, support minimum wage hike

By Marisa BakkerStaff Writer

Entrepreneurs might beable to teach the Town ofChapel Hill something aboutproblem solving.

Today, the town will part-ner with Launch Chapel Hillto host GovCups, an eventdesigned to encourage inno-

vation in government.The purpose of hosting

GovCups, from our perspec-tive, is to hold an event forour employees that allows

them to participate in anevent that entrepreneurs useand learn from the model,said Rae Buckley, organiza-tional effectiveness coordina-tor for the town.

GovCups was adapted froma similar program called 1Million Cups, which was orig-inally created by Missouri-

based Kauffman Laboratoriesfor Enterprise Creation.

The event is held at dozensof cities across the country.The local affiliate program isorganized by business accel-erator Launch Chapel Hill.

The 1 Million Cups pro-gram allows participants sixminutes to pitch their ideas

before a panel of critics, usu-ally businesspeople.

Its kind of like a churchfor entrepreneurs its aregular event that bringstogether entrepreneurs in a

very welcoming, safe envi-ronment to talk about what

theyre doing, said DinaMills, program manager ofLaunch.

Mills said GovCups willfollow a similar pattern,though targeting a differentaudience.

The event is gearedtoward government employ-ees and the pitches will beprovided to governmentemployees, Buckley said.

It will be the first time anadaptation of the 1 MillionCups program will beapplied specifically to gov-

ernment innovation.I think thats what were

trying to achieve as an orga-nization: Looking for waysthat we can learn and thinkdifferently about the services

we provide, Buckley said.The two companies pre-senting at GovCups areCityzen, headed by co-found-er and CEO Jay Dawkins, andPavonis PIX, led by presidentRichard Boyd.

Cityzen seeks to engage thecommunity by including feed-

back tools in social media andonline news, then amassingresponse data and giving it topolicy makers.

Boyd said Pavonis PIXcombines interactive gamingsoftware with city planning,

allowing policy makers totailor the evolution of citiesand towns by building a vir-tual model of the city.

If there is some co-designand co-creation between the

people that live there and theleadership and the businessesthat make it what it is, then Ithink youll end up with a bet-ter outcome, he said.

Boyd said GovCups givesNorth Carolina the chance to

become an epicenter for ideasand innovation.

Im looking for the sortof environment to discussideas, and this seemed likean opportunity to do that,he said.

If the program is success-ful this year, Buckley said the

The program is basedon 1 Million Cupsbusiness model.

Voters in four states onElection Day expressed adesire for a higher minimum

wage and simultaneouslyput more Republicans inoffice.

All but two congressionaland gubernatorial races in

Alaska, Nebraska, Arkansas

and South Dakota were wonby Republican candidates.Yet it was in those four stateswhere voters approved ballotreferendums that will graduallyraise their respective minimum

wages above the federal level of$7.25 by 2016 or 2017.

The votes were a surprise to

some analysts given the statesstrong support for the pro-

business, small-governmentRepublican Party, as the mini-mum wage is a government-mandated price floor.

In Tuesdays election,North Carolinas state gov-ernment remained firmlyin Republican control, andthe majority of the statescongressional delega-tion is Republican buta recent poll suggests thatthere might be substantialsupport for a raise, saidKenneth Fernandez, an ElonUniversity political scienceprofessor and director of theElon Poll.

Elons poll in April wasopen-ended, and respondentscould name their desiredminimum wage. Fernandezsaid the average wage sug-gested was $10, and waslikely due to rhetoric from

The minimum wage is one of the fewpolicies that people can get behind to dosomething about the issue of inequality.UNC professor T. William Lester

Its kind of likea church forentrepreneurs.Dina Mills,

Program manager for Launch ChapelHill, a local business accelerator

President Barack Obama,who had suggested the fed-eral minimum wage be raisedto more than $10 an hour.

It seems that that hadbeen percolating down to a lotof different states that thereneeds to be an increase, andthat the increase should berelatively substantial, he said.

Patrick Conway, an eco-nomics professor at UNC, saidthe classic criticism of raisingthe minimum wage centers onthe notion that doing so willreduce employment.

If you increase the pricefloor, then the number of peo-ple that the typical businesscan hire profitably is expected

to go down, he said.Conway said existing

studies dont necessarilyconfirm or deny this impact.He also suggested that thegrowing oil and natural gasmarkets in low-populationstates like Alaska and SouthDakota could be leading all

wages to go up, na turallydragging the minimum wage

with the m.T. William Lester, a profes-

sor in UNCs Department ofCity and Regional Planning,said there might be issues

with businesses crossing stateborders to avoid paying ahigher minimum wage.

Wage changes have occurred

on the local level as well SanFrancisco raised its city-wideminimum wage to $15 perhour, a number far beyond the$10.10 hourly wage that groupslike the Service EmployeesInternational Union have beenrequesting.

I think the city level mini-mum wage is the area where

we need more research,Lester said.

Still, he said his researchon the effects of the minimum

wage show that moderatewage increases dont causeemployment losses for most

businesses.The minimum wage

is one of the few policiesthat even in red states like

Arkansas and South Dakotapeople can get behind to dosomething about the issue ofinequality.

A poll said many N.C.voters want wages tojump to $10 an hour.

BREAKDOWN BY STATE

Twenty-three states and the

District of Columbia have a

minimum wage above the

federal level of $7.25:

North Carolinas minimumwage is $7.25 an hour.

California, Washingtonstate and Oregon have mini-

mum wages over $9 an hour.

Voters in San Franciscoraised wages to $15 per hour.

Voters in Alaska, Nebraska,Arkansas and South Dakota

approved wage raises in the

Nov. 4 election.

In April, President BarackObama recommended

a gradual increase to the

federal minimum wage in

three steps to $10.10 by 2016.

town hopes to recreate it infuture years.

Were testing out wheth-er this is a model that could

be benefi cial for our employ-ees, she said.

Hopefully its somethingthat people find valuableand we can use it in some

way.

A Little Free Library joins Cedar Grove Park

By Wei ZhouStaff Writer

Theres a little box on a postlocated at the Cedar GrovePark that runs itself 24 hours aday, seven days a week.

That little box holds 50to 100 books and is part ofa national program, LittleFree Library, which aims topromote literacy and love ofreading. Its slogan is take a

book, return a book.Cedar Grove Park received

the box as a gift fromArthrelle Snaders, a northernOrange County resident. Herdaughter gave her the box asa birthday present.

The Cedar Grove Park

Little Free Library box had itsopening ceremony on Oct. 8.

Beth Young, a spokeswom-an for the Orange CountyDepartment of Environment,

Agriculture, Parks andRecreation, said the library

makes it easier for residentsto access books.

For people in that area,it gives them access to booksthat they would not have

without traveling a prettygood distance to the library inHillsborough, Young said.

The Librarys books comefrom Orange County PublicLibrary and donations fromlocal residents.

Young said one challengethe library faces is ensuringpeople return the books afterthey read them since no onesupervises the circulation.

Robert Robbins, CedarGrove Park manager, saidcompared to public librar-

reason that why we have itthere, you know, is to provide

books, especially for childrenwho are not able to affordbooks, she said.

Wright said communitymembers, local libraries and

nonprofit organizations havedonated the books to contrib-ute the libraries.

Robbins said the LittleFree Library enriches thepark by adding an activityitem to the park and encour-aging young people to read.

As far as the little librarygoes, it has been nothing but

a plus, he said.

UNCs Clef Hangersperformed on national TVSunday on QVCs In theKitchen with David. Theshow is hosted by UNC andClef Hangers alumnus DavidVenable, who graduated witha degree in broadcast jour-nalism in 1987. ChanningMitzell, president of the ClefHangers, spoke with DailyTar Heel staff writer TreyFlowers about the experience.

The Daily Tar Heel:How did

the idea of appearing on Inthe Kitchen with David comeabout?

Channing Mitzell: Thisidea came from membersof the group because David

Venable used t o be a Cl efHanger, and he was a ClefHanger who graduated in1987, so he was a part of thefirst ten years of the group.

And the c urrent members ofthe group really wanted togo to Davids show becausehes turning 50 this week.He runs this show twice a

week, cal led In th e Kitche nwith Davi d, and its QVC smost watched show. It

brings in about 2.5 mi llionviewers a week, and hes oneof their most notable hosts.

DTH:What is the showabout?

CM: Essentially the showis three hours straight, thereare no commercials, and hehas an agenda. There are any-

where from six to 10 productsthat he knows that he is goingto work with, and he hasspecial guests who come inand he works through thoseproducts and he works to sellthose products.

DTH:What did you guys doon the show?

CM: Our role was to singbumps, which are the tran-sitional periods where he is

walking from studio to studio,

and theyre able to give usanywhere from sixty to ninetyseconds where were singingholiday-themed music. Thisallowed for him to be able totransition because they donot have commercials and,

because he was a UNC ClefHanger and the Clef Hangersare important to him, it wasfun for him too.

DTH:Was this your firsttime performing as a groupon live TV? And if so, was ita different experience per-forming than what you nor-mally do?

CM: The group in theearly 2000s was on GoodMorning America, so thegroup has had nationalexposure before. In terms ofthis current state of mem-

bers, weve done stuff in likeCharlotte TV CharlotteToday but this is, as a group,the first time that weve

been on national tel evision,reaching over 2.5 millionto 3.5 million homes. So itsobviously a very differentexperience from singing intoa camera with bright lights

to being in Memorial Hall,where there are thi rteenhundred people and you canhear them.

DTH:What was DavidVenable like?

CM: This is going to soundreally cliche, but hes a giant,

jolly man who was exac tlylike he is on camera as he isoff camera. The way he talk-ed to us on camera and whenit was live was the exactsame kind of voice, tone andinflection and excitementand enthusiasm that he hadoff camera.

DTH:Do you think thisexperience could affect the

groups future in any way?

CM: Its great that we getthis exposure. Yes, we were

Equality lawyer laments slow change

By Megan MorrisStaff Writer

Civil rights lawyer JamesE. Ferguson II encouragedaudience members Tuesdaynight to pursue the completeracial equality promisedto all Americans under theConstitution equality thathas historically been chal-lenged often.

Were still dealing withthe issues that started back in1619, he said.

Ferguson gave the 2014Charleston Lecture entitled,Fifty Years of Civil RightsLitigation: Everything isDifferent But Not Much

Has Changed.John Boger, who is step-ping down as dean of the UNCSchool of Law in 2015, intro-duced Ferguson and spokeabout the 50th anniversariesof the 1964 Civil Rights Actand 1965 Voting Rights Act.

The 1964 and 65 acts,seen together, were one of themost profound congressionalcommitments ever made inthis country, Boger said.

Ferguson said he mobi-

lized his high school class-mates around the issues thathe and his friends observedand faced daily.

He said in the wake ofthe Voting Rights Act, many

Americans expected the 21stcentury to bring differentissues, with race receding asan issue of significance.

Although technologically,everything was different atthe beginning of the 21stcentury not enough hadchanged, Ferguson said.

Though desegregatingschools was an enormousleap for the U.S., schoolsthat were once desegregatedthrough court processes have

now largely resegregated,Ferguson said.If our schools dont become

a melting pot, the world canteither, he said. Educationcan have a negative impact if itseparates us as children.

Along with noting the

disproportionate incarcera-tion rates of people of color,Ferguson remarked on the

American response to the 2008election of Barack Obama that,in some cases, was negative.

When we talk about thecolor line no longer playinga role in American life, wevegot to ask ourselves thequestion: What about whatshappening at the highestlevel? Has the color line justshifted upwards?

Ferguson said though rac-ists might no longer be wear-ing white sheets, destructiveattitudes toward race havenot disappeared.

Make no mistake about it,the challenge is there, he said.And the question to ask is: are

we up to the challenge?Sophomore Victoria

Hamby agreed withFergusons opinion that

increased technology has lim-ited the ability of membersin communities to commit tocauses and to one another.

Its incredible to see(Fergusons) role pre-VotingRights Act to today, she said.I think a lot of people get

Sophomore AllisonOrman said the lecture was

not what she had expected.I thought it was going to

A bill to redistrict con-gressional seats and reduce

vacancies failed to pass in aclose vote at a full meeting ofStudent Congress Tuesday.

This year, 18 out of the 41seats were not filled, and thereis still one open seat followingFridays special election. Thenew members were inductedat Tuesdays meeting.

If lowering the numbermakes it easier to have amajority of people in Congressgoing forward, then halfwaythrough the year we dont haveto have special elections, saidPeter McClelland, speaker protempore.

The bill, drafted by Rulesand Judiciary CommitteeChairman Kevan Schoonover,proposed the number ofStudent Congress seats bereduced from 41 seats to 33seats for the 2015-16 congress.

The chairman of the Rulesand Judiciary Committeeaudits the distribution of seatseach year to ensure an accuratereflection of the undergradu-ate, graduate and professionalstudent body, but Schoonover

said changes are not usually as

major as this bill.District 6 representativeDavid Joyner feared cuttingseats would mean less repre-sentation.

I think cutting seats iseasier than adding. I dontthink we should get into thathabit, he said.

Graduate student rep-resentative Elise Rosa pro-posed an amendment toSchoonovers bill to add onemore seat to both districts 10and 11. She said this would

better reflect the proportionof undergraduate and gradu-ate students.

Tyler Jacon, who lives offcampus, came to StudentCongress to voice his con-cerns of the bill. Jacon

was the chairman of theStudent Safety and SecurityCommittee in the 2013-14school year

I read this at 11:30 thismorning, he said. I justdont think students havehad the opportunity to hashit out. This has not been dis-cussed with the students itaffects the most.

Schoonover introduced thebill on Sunday. The Rules and

Judiciary Committee emailed

it out on its listserv, butdue to a technical error, theemail was not sent out untilMonday.

District 1 representativeSamthosh Alahari votedagainst the bill because he

wanted more time to make aninformed decision.

I just felt that there wasntenough time to speak to thestudent body, and I haventhad enough time to speak tomy constituents, he said.

The bill is now dead, andper the Student Code, thesame exact bill cannot be

brought in front of Congressagain by Schoonover.

Schoonover said he will beholding a legislative hearingon Tuesday, which will pro-

vide an open public forum forstudents to discuss the bill.

After tonights meeting,no matter how I redistrict,no one will be happy, andtherefore, it will not pass withenough votes to become law,he said. Therefore, Im notgoing to be bringing it upagain unless someone is ada-mant about it.

Student Congressvotes to keep seats

By Tyler FlemingStaff Writer

From butter mints inChapel Hill to banks inGuatemala, the CarolinaMicrofinance Initiative is pro-moting entrepreneurship onecheck at a time.

The club, founded in2006, used to focus oninternational loans, but hasstarted providing aid to localcommunity members.

In 2010, a major projectof the initiative was found-ing and funding a bank inGuatemala City, Guatemala.The bank provided loans topeople who otherwise wouldnot have been approved.

Sophomore HarryEdwards, the groups co-chairman, said because ofthe banks success, it is slowly

becoming more independent.Then kind of over the past

few years we have been heavilyinvolved with that in day-to-day operations but over thepast year, they have employed

local people to run the opera-tion and do not need our helpon a day-to-day basis, he said.

The group has now movedits attention to the ChapelHill community.

This has freed us up nowto start more locally and seeif we can bring micro-financeto the Chapel Hill area,Edwards said.

CMI is now looking for waysto assist new companies inthe Chapel Hill area using thecrowd-funding website Kiva.

What we are trying to donow, and this is where being aKiva trustee comes in, is find-ing very small, very local busi-nesses that we think are doinggreat work and have great

business plans and great capac-ity for expansion but are just

being held back because theycannot access small amounts ofcapital, Edwards said.

Heide Hooper is the groupsfirst client in Chapel Hill.

Hooper, an alumna ofUNC, is looking to expandher company, HeidesGourmet Butter Mints.

The mints are widelyrenowned as the best in the

business, she said.Her mints are now sold in

numerous stores and were

also included in a gift basketat the Emmy Awards.

She is currently applyingfor a loan to cover the increasein demand for her product.

These are opportunitiesthat I just cant miss out on,

but I need capital to be able tofulfill these orders, she said.

Edwards said Hooper mustraise the money herself or she

will not receive any aid.Once her loan goes live on

(Kiva), she will have 45 daysto raise the entirety of the$5,000 or else she wont getanything, he said.

Her friends, Ted Bartlettand Mary Jo Rhodes, attendeda CMI meeting in her support.

What you guys are doingfor her is great, and myselfand a lot of her friends reallyappreciate it, Bartlett said.

Hooper said she is excitedfor the future of her company.

Yall are going to be sohelpful. It has just been agreat experience, she said.

Edwards said CMI is look-ing for new volunteers.

We are talking to secondand third clients and we willdefinitely need more studentsto help.

RSVVP has record number of participating restaurants

By Maggie MonsrudStaff Writer

More and more restaurantsare taking one night a yearto contribute to fighting foodpoverty in Chapel Hill andCarrboro.

The annual RSVVP Restaurants Sharing V & VPercent, where the Vs areRoman numerals eventtook place Tuesday, and had114 participating restaurants

compared to 102 for the 2013event, said Irene Briggaman,founder of the RSVVP pro-gram.

RSVVP Day is a fundrais-ing event for which partici-pating restaurants contribute10 percent of their total pro-ceeds to benefit the food pro-grams of the Orange CountyInter-Faith Council for SocialServices food pantry andcommunity kitchen.

Briggaman said whenRSVVP began in fall 1989,43 restaurants agreed to par-ticipate and the event raised$6,500. In 2013, Briggamansaid the events 102 con-tributing restaurants raised

$21,000.RSVVP day started in

Chapel Hill and Carrboroafter the Raleigh branch ofthe Food Bank of Centraland Eastern North Carolinaapproached Briggaman aboutimplementing the annualevent, which is in its 25th year.

The idea for RSVVP camefrom waiters and waitresses

who set aside tip money to feedthe underserved in their area.

Briggaman said in 2013,

16,828 bags of food weregiven to 4,000 peopleassigned to receive aid fromIFCs FoodFirst programs.

Its a surprise to me tolearn that 31 percent ofelementary school childrenare enrolled in the nationalfree school lunch program,Briggaman said. That is a

big number for a town that issupposed to be affluent.

Briggaman said RSVVP

day is one of the largest fund-raisers for the food program.

Sals Pizza has participatedin RSVVP day since 1989.

If I can do somethingto help people, then I dontmind, said owner FilippoTorappa.

Jeff Wardwell managerat Top of the Hill Restaurantand Brewery, which has par-ticipated in the program for15 years said RSVVP day

builds a sense of community.It seems to bring in some

business for us, and it gives usa chance to give back to thecommunity, he said.

Jessica Quinn, assistantmanager at 15-year partici-pant Carrburritos, said therestaurant expected to donatearound $500 to IFCs foodprograms this year.

We love giving back to thecommunity, she said.

Michael Mendes, direc-tor of sales and marketing at15-year participant AlfredosPizza Villa, said RSVVP dayhelps Alfredos achieve itsgoal of being an independentlocal establishment.

We like everything localbecause local supports us,Mendes said. We like giving

back to a community thatgives to us.

Mendes said Alfredos

expects to donate between$150 and $250 to the event.

Briggaman said hunger is aproblem that can be resolved.

It is so nice to work withsomething where you can seeresults, she said.

And the restaurants thathave been so loyal to us formany years are a part of thatsolution.

Theology, Ethics, Politics:Three Challenges for Islamic Reform

How should Islamic teachings relate to the specific conditions

of modernity? Islamic Reform is the effort of Muslims to

reconstruct Islamic teachings and practice in modern times.

This lecture addresses the challenge of reforming Islamic

doctrines in three related areas: theology, ethics and politics,

with special reference to Shi`ism. It will be illustrated by critical

reflections on concepts of religious authority (the position of

the Imams), Sharia as an ethical tradition in dialogue with

modernity, and the necessity of secularism in terms of

separation of mosque and state.

ATHLETICACADEMIC SCANDAL

UNC balances freedom with oversight

By David DoochinStaff Writer

UNC has faced increased pressureto monitor its academic departmentssince the release of the Wainsteinreport which found lack of academ-ic oversight was a factor in enablingemployees in the former Departmentof African and Afro-American Studiesto conduct fake classes.

Provost Jim Dean said whendetails about the athletic-academicscandal first came to light in 2011,the University began to change itsacademic oversight policies, insti-tuting internal reviews that require

department heads and professorsto undertake more work in order toprevent academic fraud.

It puts us in a little bit of an

interesting position because theWainstein report comes out, and ifpeople hadnt been paying attention,they might say, So what are yougonna do to fix the problems? Andin many cases, what we can say is,Well, actually, weve already fixedthem, Dean said.

Thats not to say weve fixed all ofthem. I do not believe weve fixed allof them. But weve come a long wayover the last few years in order toaddress them.

Department heads are nowrequired to take an extra step toensure that professors within theirdepartments are being academicallyhonest. They must collect and ana-lyze professors syllabi and students

independent study contracts, organizerandom class visitations and investi-gate classes whose enrollment of ath-letes crosses a certain threshold.

Since 2012, the College of Artsand Sciences has also required anannual review of department heads.

Fitz Brundage, chairman of thehistory department, said theseincreased oversight policies areessential to rebuilding and maintain-ing a positive reputation for UNC.

Given what the report discov-ered, I think absolutely its neces-sary, he said. Its something wehave to do to restore the integrity ofthe institution.

Though the extra work can oftenseem onerous, Chris Clemens, chair-man of the physics department, saidhe doesnt feel as if he or other depart-ments are being unfairly penalized.

Its not punishment to be asked to

document what youre doing, so Im infavor of it, Clemens said. Its an extrafew hours at the beginning of eachsemester to make sure that stuff is on

file, so its not an enormous burden.Rudi Colloredo-Mansfeld,chairman of the anthropologydepartment, said its vital that theUniversity find a delicate way not tostifle departments academic licenseto conduct their classes as they see fit.

Its critically important for pro-fessors to have academic freedom,he said.

Dean said the academic proce-dures instituted since 2011 dontinterfere with professors academicfreedom in the classroom.

One of the things that academicfreedom means is the ability to dothings that are unprecedented andnewly really creative. And the kind ofoversight were talking about doesnt

touch that kind of academic freedomat all, he said. Having said that,academic freedom never has meantthe freedom to not do your job or the

freedom to do your job really badly.Colloredo-Mansfeld said thatwhile the Wainstein report doeshighlight a history of dishonesty onthe Universitys part, it also inspireschange for the future.

The issues about every departmenthaving to ensure that all courses arereally run in the most ethical, best way the Wainstein report just remindseverybody about the commitment wehave to teaching and to the meeting ofhigh standards, he said.

Brundage said his department real-izes the importance of these reviews.

I wish it wasnt necessary, but itsobvious that it is, he said.

SPEAKING OF VETERANS

DTH/MICHAEL LEES

Dr. Richard Jadick, the Iraq Wars most highly decorated doctor, thanks veterans for their service at UNC Memorial Hospitals Annual Veterans Day Event.

By Noelle WellsStaff Writer

One thing Richard Jadickreturned to during his keynotespeech this Veterans Day was the

words of his gunnery sergeant:We will be there for you. You

just be there for us.Veterans from World War II,

the Korean War, Vietnam, Iraqand Afghanistan were honoredTuesday at UNC Medical Centersfourth annual Veterans Day event.

Jadick discussed his active ser-vice as a physician i n the Iraq war.Jadick is a urologist in Georgiaand is the most decorated Iraq wardoctor to date.

Jadick compared his sergeantsmantra to the sense of camaraderiefound at UNC Health Care.

Our veterans have been therefor us, and today I am humbledand glad to salute all of you atUNC Health Care, for the waythat you are now there for our

vets, he sai d.Every veteran needs support,

every veteran merits our help.The event, which took place

in the N.C. Memorial Hospital atUNC Hospitals, is held each year torecognize those who served or areserving in the armed forces.

Other speakers at the eventincluded U.S. Rep. David PriceD-N.C., and Amy Alger, anotherIraq war veteran who now works inthe hospitals at UNC.

Each time Im left in awe ofthose who help mark this occa-sion, said Tom Maltais, assistantdirector of external affairs at

UNC School of Medicine.Price, who spoke first, discussed

his belief in the significance ofhonoring veterans.

It is very important to gatheras were doing to mark this

Veterans Day and to celebrate ourshared history as a nation andunderstand those who have sac-rificed so much to make this pos-sible, he said.

The event also marked UNCHealth Care receiving the 2014Secretary of Defense EmployerSupport Freedom Award from theDepartment of Defense.

Alger introduced the prestigiousfreedom award. It is the highestrecognition offered to employers tohonor their treatment of employ-ees who have served or are servingin the military.

Jadick discussed his experi-ences overseas as a physician andhis time at Fallujah, a city in Iraq,connecting it back to the impor-tance of not just veterans, buttheir families as well.

Jadick earned a Bronze Star the fourth highest honor themilitary can offer after beingcredited for saving the lives of 30Marines in the Second Battle ofFallujah in 2004.

When we talk about veterans,we dont just talk about them,Jadick said.

We talk about their families.Those people who stay at homeand dont turn the TV on, becausethey dont want their kids to seethe news.

Obamatakes netneutrality

stand

By Charles TalcottStaff Writer

Students watching their favoriteshows on Netflix expect videos toappear in seconds but they mightnot know whether the streaming ser-

vice paid up to increase loading speed.In a show of support for net

neutrality Monday, PresidentBarack Obama pushed for an openInternet and urged the FederalCommunications Commission toramp up regulations on Internet ser-

vice providers.In a statement, Obama said ISPs

and Internet users, regardless of how

much they pay for broadband, shouldhave equal access to the same infor-mation and services. Online serviceslike Netflix shouldnt be advantaged

because of commercial deals withISPs such as Comcast, he said.

We cannot allow Internet serviceproviders to restrict the best accessor to pick winners and losers in theonline marketplace he said.

Obama recommended the FCCreclassify broadband companies, likeComcast, as common carriers underTitle II of the Telecommunications

Act, which regulates large phonecompanies like Verizon.

But the TelecommunicationsIndustry Association said in astatement it is concerned by thePresidents endorsement of classify-

ing the Internet as a Title II utility-like telecom service, subjecting it tostricter federal regulations.

Such a move would set theindustry back decades and threatenthe private sector investment that iscritically needed to ensure that thenetwork can meet surging demand,the statement said.

Major Internet service provid-ers including Verizon, Comcast andTime Warner Cable voiced supportfor an open Internet but said a TitleII classification would unnecessarilyhurt the industry.

The FCC has sufficient tools with-out reclassifying broadband to protectthe openness of the Internet, saidRob Marcus, chairman and CEO ofTime Warner Cable, in a statement.

Proponents of net neutrality andTitle II classification remain wary offuture action by industry giants.

Left to their own devices, someof these companies may start charg-ing different rates for access todifferent websites and services ormight cut you off from certain web-sites altogether, said Dale Eisman,spokesman for Common Cause, ademocracy reform group.

The FCC already tried to imposestrict rules on ISPs with the 2010Open Internet Order, which demand-ed transparency from providers andprohibited blocking of and discrimina-tion against content. The regulations

were later challenged in the District ofColumbias Court of Appeals and over-turned in part in January 2014.

The FCC is trying to find amiddle ground here, said VictoriaEkstrand, a UNC journalism profes-sor who teaches mass communica-tion law. Theyve been trying tostrike a hybrid model of regulation,and parts of that hybrid model werestruck down by the D.C Circuit.

We must take the time to get thejob done correctly, once and for all,said FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler ina statement.

Faculty Athletics Committee strikes back

By Mark LihnStaff Writer

After criticism from the FacultyExecutive Committee earlier this

week, members of the FacultyAthletics Committee responded byvoicing support for the current com-position of their committee Tuesday.

The executive committee wasconcerned that only three of thenine elected members of the ath-letics committee are from theundergraduate College of Arts andSciences, where an overwhelmingmajority of athletes are enrolled.

Beverly Foster, an athletics

committee member and nursingprofessor, said the concerns makeher angry and feel like she is wast-ing her time. She said more than30 years of experience in under-graduate education and service onpast committees make her valu-able to the committee.

The College (of Arts andSciences) minding its own pent-house is not the safest approach,she said. I think it needs peoplefrom inside and outside and peo-ple with critical thought.

Andrew Perrin, a committeemember and sociology professor,said he finds irony in the fact that

everyone implicated in the Wainsteinreport is from the College and yet theCollege wants a larger oversight role.

I think theyve mistaken thecharacter of representation to sug-gest that the reason why we serveadequately is because only of ourclassroom experiences, Perrin said.

Perrin said he would be fine witha threshold of members from theCollege and that he thinks the com-mittee needs more resources andshould assume an oversight role asopposed to an advisory charge.

The committee reached a generalconsensus that they wanted thedirection of their charge to movetowards an oversight role.

Members of the executive com-mittee specifically expressed concern

with the presence of Athletic DirectorBubba Cunningham and MichelleBrown, director of the AcademicSupport Program for Student-

Athletes, on the committee becauseof Cunninghams and Browns closeinvolvement with athletes.

Brown said her experienceserving on the committee has

been valuable to her work, andCunningham said he had neverseen a faculty athletics committee

without an athletic director pres-ent. Both were asked to leave the

meeting momentarily while thecommittee discussed, in closed ses-sion, Cunninghams and Brownsparticipation in the committee.

I think it is absolutely essential,Cunningham said about his pres-ence on the committee.

The athletics committee alsoreviewed a draft of an updated proce-dure for dealing with complaints orquestions directed to the committee.

Chairwoman Joy Renner said thenew procedure needs to build trustin the committee and encourage

students and faculty to feel comfort-able voicing concerns. She said it isimportant the procedure closes theloop and ensures information will get

back to all of the involved parties.Perrin said the committee needs

to assume concerns are true andvalid, which he said was more of acultural issue than a structural one.

I think its really crucial thateverything has to eventually makeit to FAC, Perrin said.

New musical lands in Chapel Hills theater sceneBy Sindhu Chidambaram

Staff Writer

Since the 2010 Broadwayproduction of The ScottsboroBoys and the loss of his long-time partner Fred Ebb in2004, composer John Kanderhas taken a leave of absencefrom the theatre until now.

His newest piece, TheLanding, brings his work

back into the spotlight and

is being produced outside ofNew York for the first time

by Chapel Hills Deep DishTheater Company.It really is a chance for us

to be contributing to the life ofthis piece, said Paul Frellick,founding artistic director ofDeep Dish Theater.

Kander, known for hismusic in the Broadway hitsChicago and Cabaret,has paired his music with

The Village Band performed a Veterans Day concert at the Seymour Center in Chapel Hill Monday.

Village Band members honor veteransBy Elizabeth Baker

Staff Writer

Charles Porter remem-bered a special Monday eve-ning as The Village Band sat

down to rehearse.A high school sophomorereadied herself to play amongthe Chapel Hill-Carrborocommunity band, made upprimarily of working adultsand retirees.

I got down and said, Doyou study America n his-tory? She said, Yes. I said,Well, have you studied

World War II? She sai d,Yes. Well, the guy thats sit-ting beside you played buglein Okinawa against theJapanese, Porter told her.

Porter, manager of the62-member band, whichperformed a Veterans Dayconcert at the Seymour

Center in Chapel HillTuesday, said the best part ofbeing in the band is the mix-ing of different generationsevident in that memory.

John Fuller, director ofThe Village Band, said thegroup played Armed ForcesSalute, a medley whichincluded all of the branchsongs during which veteransstood and were recognized

during the song.Fuller said the patriotic

concerts the band performsreally get the audiences feel-ing good about the U.S.

Nothings a guarantee, but

you can almost put on one ofthose concerts knowing thatthe people are going to walkaway happy, he said.

Fuller said the band lovesbeing a community band anddoesnt seem inclined to bigtravel plans, but thats fine

with him.I like the group the way it

is, so were just going to keepright on going the way wehave been because that makesthe band happy and thatmakes me happy, he said.

Larry Slifkin, who playstrumpet in the band, servedin the army during World

War II before teaching phys-ics at UNC for about 35 years.

Slifkin said he carrieda bugle made out of greenplastic as official bugler whilestationed in Okinawa.

Nobody had any use for abugler, he said.

Slifkin said he was origi-nally trained to be a non-commissioned officer incharge of a squad. He latergot demoted after protest-ing the fact that a platoon of

black men who were spend-ing two weeks under hiscommand were denied fur-lough or leave.

It was denied to thembecause they were black, he

said.It turned out that thecommanding general came bythat afternoon and asked meif everything was alright, andI said, No sir.

The next day, the mem-bers of the platoon got theirleaves restored, and Slifkingot transferred to a companyready to go overseas.

Slifkin said while its nicethe country honors veteranson Nov. 11 each year, he wouldencourage the government totake more tangible actions tohelp veterans.

If the government reallywants to honor these folks,why not treat them for the ill-

nesses they got while fightingfor the government? Theres alittle bit of hypocrisy, he said.Its cheaper to name the dayVeterans Day.

But he said there is onething for which he owes thegovernment.

The lady whos been mywife for the last 66 years, Imet her in my first pass fromthe army, he said.

So actually, if you lookat it that way, I owe a debt

of love or something to ourgovernment for arranging allof this.

Slifkin said he looks for-ward to rehearsals and con-certs with The Village Band.

I keep playing because itsfun, he said. Just playing themusic is fun.

Porter said he enjoys talk-ing to young members of the

band and encouraging them

to stay with their instru-ments, even after high school

and college.You cant believe howmuch youre going to get outof playing this horn if you juststay with it, he said he toldone of them.

Porter himself has accom-plished a lot as a profession-al musician, none of whichhe planned.

He played with the Navyband in Washington, D.C., six

years with the Ringling Bros.Circus and even in a backup

group for Louis Armstrong.Now, with The Village Bandhe helps bridge the gap

between generations.Thats basically what weve

got to do. (The band) givesthe old people a chance tocommunicate with the young-er, he said. Its a little morethan just music.

after successful reviews andaudience feedback, it hasmade its way to Chapel Hill.

I am honored to be doingKanders first piece sinceEbbs death, said Erin Tito,the only female actress inthe musical. This piece is byfar the most exciting pieceIve ever done.

The show is carried entire-ly by four actors, including a13-year-old boy, who all playmultiple characters in thethree musicals that tell thestories of a math-loving boy,a magical brick and a pair ofcurious parents.

When you get a teamright, its lightning in a bot-tle, said John Allore, a leadactor in the musical.

Allore said the unexpectedcombination of the plays willsurprise the audience.

Each of these plays startsoff in a somewhat state ofnormalcy or expectancy and

Each piece takes the expectations that you

carry from the last piece and twists themPaul Frellick,Founding artistic director of Deep Dish Theater

then, somewhere along theway, goes very awry or off-

kilter in a very different direc-tion than what was originallypitched to you, Allore said.

Despite it being a musical,the show does not includeany big numbers. The script

weaves spoken word intothe dialogue. In the intimate70-seat theater at UniversityMall, none of the actors usea microphone, and all of themusic is acoustic.

(The music) fills it up in away that a bigger house some-times doesnt, said Frellick,

who is directing the musical.You hear those individualinstruments, and its a con-

versation going among themand between them and theactors as well.

Allore said although thecombination of three differ-ent plays might seem frac-tured and unrelated, theyactually deal with similaradult themes such as same-sex marriage, adoption andadultery.

Each piece takes theexpectations that you carryfrom the last piece andtwists them around and

sends you in a differentdirection, Frellick said. It

was fun t o let th e piece steach us where they wantedto go and then find out

where we were at the end o fthe evening.

He said the pieces stirup a great deal of passionamong audience membersand work to create discus-sion about relevant themesin the world today.

Tito believes thatKanders return to a simplerand more intimate approachis refreshing.

A big musical is distanc-ing. You need to be far backto be able to see the patternsof the dances and to take inthe bigness of the music witha full orchestra and such,Frellick said.

What is the Meaning of

Bagels and Falafel?

SHAUL STAMPFER, professor at Hebrew University and author ofbooks on Eastern European Jewry includingFamilies, Rabbis and Education

andLithuanian Yeshivas ofthe Nineteenth Century, will point out the history

and hidden symbolic meaning behind two classic modern Jewish foods: bagels,

an iconic food of American Jewish cuisine, and falafel, which has a similar role

as an Israeli Jewish food. In his talk he will highlight the process of how bagels

and falafels became a national food, which illuminates not only the history of

food but also the societies who created the food.

Construction on the newresidence hall will beginduring summer 2015, ac-cording to an announce-ment at the Board ofTrustees meeting Sept.24.

Following a 199 6 UNCfraternity house fire, allUNC system residencehalls were required to beequipped with a work-ing sprinkler systemby 2012. Odum VillageCommunity, however,was given until the fallof 2017 to comply withthese rules.

Associate Director ofHousing Rick Bradleysaid the creation of anentirely new residencehall would be more fis-cally responsible.

The cost of addingsprinklers to 40-someindependent buildingsis not cost effective to1960s style construc-tion, Bradley said.

Anna Wu, assistant vicechancellor for facilitiesoperations, planning anddesign, said the approxi-mately $32.5 millionproject will be paid forwithout University ap-propriations.

The money comes from(the Department ofHousing) reserves andthe housing receipts the room rate and thehousing reserve funds,Wu said.

The new dorm, locatedon Ridge Road betweenSASB and Rams Head

Dining Hall, will containsuper-suite style rooms,similar to those on thetop three floors of Mor-rison Residence Hall.The suites will have fiveprivate bedrooms anda shared living space.The dorm will house 275

students.Bradley hopes the newdorm will serve as a goodreplacement for the agegroup of Odum resi-dents.

When we started thisprocess a number ofyears ago, the first thingwe do is survey thestudents. Bradley said,There was interest inapartment style, butthe affordability of thatmade that not an option.

Students living on campus for the fall 2017semester will have a new dorm to choosefrom when Odum Village closes.

A new package center,twice as large as thecenter at Morrison Resi-dence Hall, will be builtin the new dorm, replac-ing the Morrison pack-age center, he said.

Odum will no longer beused as a residence hall,but the land will be usedfor other purposes, likegreen space, a creek andstorage space.

This Universitys masterplan is that a number of

the pieces of land thatOdum Village currentlyoccupies will have otherscome and take over thatspace. Bradley said, Aportion on the hospitalside will have hospitalbuildings most likely.

Freshman MengmengFang said a new dormon South Campus wouldcreate longer commutesfor some students, butnot for her.

I want to major in busi-

ness, so it would be closerto the business school,she said.

Wu said the dormsdesign will be environ-mentally conscious. Inaddition to the Univer-sity policy of replantingtrees lost to constructionprojects, she said therewill be extra measurestaken on the land aroundthe dorm.

Two low-income ami-lies will soon inhabit aduplex in the Northsideneighborhood afer thetown o Chapel Hill do-nated two plots o land

to Habitat or Humanityo Orange County.

Rob Reda, the presidento Habitats board odirectors, said two plotson Lindsay Street aregoing to be combinedinto one that will houselow-income amilies.

This particular lot wasselected because o thelocation, Reda said. Itcan have the duplex andfit into the ordinances. Itis advantageous that thisworked and can be usedto the maximum.

Sixty Chapel Hill andCarrboro amilies arebeing orced out otheir homes afer sev-eral housing complexesannounced they wouldno longer accept Sec-tion 8 housing vouchers,which help low-incomeamilies afford privatehousing. Since then,Chapel Hill MayorMark Kleinschmidt hassaid hes committed tofinding new sources o

affordable housing orthe town.

Loryn Clark, executivedirector o the ChapelHill Housing and Com-munity Department,said the donation willfit the towns goal oproviding housing to allo its residents, particu-larly those in historicallylow-income communi-ties like Northside.

This is an excitingopportunity to workwith Habitat to createaffordable homeowner-ship opportunities inNorthside, she said inan email.

The two Lindsay Street

plots were originallyowned by the ChapelHill Housing Authority.Chapel Hill Town Coun-cil member Sally Greenesaid the town came intopossession o the twolots when the HousingAuthority dissolved inthe 1980s. She said thelots sat empty until 2010.

The original proposalor the deal with Habi-tat came to the TownCouncil June 9 as a pro-posal or a single-amily

home, but the councilwanted to see i Habitatcould house more ami-lies on the lots.

I think it is a very ap-propriate and commend-able action, because itsupports our goals osupporting the devel-opment o affordablehousing throughouttown, but particularly inthe Northside neighbor-hood, Greene said.

Now, the ownership othe land will be trans-erred to Habitat or just$1.

This project is one omany affordable hous-ing projects that Habitat

is working on aroundChapel Hill.

We just had our 30thanniversary, said Jen-nier Player, Habitatsdirector o development.In 30 years, we havecompleted 86 houses,and six are under con-struction in Chapel Hill.In total, nearly 250 hous-es have been completedor are under construc-tion in Orange County.
