DTH/MAYA CARTERHead coach Mack Brown celebrates UNC’s win against Duke in Kenan Memorial Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 27, 2019.
By Ryan WilcoxSports Editor
How else?In a topsy-turvy 2019 — one
punctuated at various points by season-opening comebacks and sextuple overtime losses, near-upsets against No. 1 and defeats at the hands of in-state little brothers — it’s only right that this is how Mack Brown, the old/new head coach of North Carolina football, became the winningest man in program history.
It happened on Saturday, in a 20-17 win against rival Duke, thanks to a game-sealing interception by linebacker Chazz Surratt. On first and goal from the UNC 2-yard line, Duke’s Quentin Harris handed the ball off to running back Deon Jackson, whose Tebow-esque jump-pass was snagged by Surratt with 14 seconds left to play.
Just more dramatics that are now old hat for Brown and his team.
“We’re TV darlings,” he said. “We come down to the last drive on every game we’ve played but one.”
Good ratings don’t always mean great teams. But for the 4-4 Tar Heels, this win had to be the sweetest yet.
A few notable numbers:Five. That’s the number of UNC
players who had rung the Victory Bell before Saturday. Losses in 2016, 2017 and 2018, all by 10 points or less, meant that North Carolina’s seniors were staring down the possibility of going winless for their careers against the Blue Devils.
Not anymore, though. Wide receiver Beau Corrales captured the locker room scene perfectly: “A lot of yelling.”
“They may be ringing it all night down there,” Brown said.
Twelve. That’s the number of tackles for the junior Surratt, good for a team high, to go along with a sack and the crucial pick.
The Tar Heels had just turned
it over in the red zone themselves, then committed a facemask and two pass interference penalties to set the Blue Devils up in prime real estate. One play by Surratt, the Duke quarterback commit turned UNC linebacker, saved them.
“Before the play, we got in the huddle and (defensive coordinator Jay Bateman) said to expect the pop pass,” Surratt said. “So that’s what we did.”
And: Seventy-three. That’s the number of wins for Brown in his Tar Heel career, one more than Dick Crum. Brown posted 69 in his first tenure in Chapel Hill and four so far this season, and has now won his last nine games against the Blue Devils.
“Winningest coach at UNC, to be able to do it against Duke?” Corrales said. “I can only imagine. He always gets choked up whenever he talks to us, and he was getting choked up again tonight. The love that the team has for him and the love that he has for us — it’s crazy.”
It makes sense, then, that in the locker room after the game, Brown was once again dancing: not for himself, but for the delight of his players. He said after the South Carolina win to start the season, which led to a viral postgame dance, that he had to bring in a few trusted consultants — namely, Michael Carter and Tre Shaw — to teach him some new moves.
Some coaches say they’ ll do whatever it takes to win. And some coaches roll up their sleeves and strut their stuff.
“It looks like when we win, they’re going to make me dance,” he said. “And if that helps us win, man, I’ll dance. I don’t even like to dance, but I like to win.”
So that’s how a 68-year-old Mack Brown celebrated the biggest win of his team’s season: dancing, yelling, grooving, in step with a Victory Bell tune that, after an up-and-down eight games, has North Carolina football feeling like it’s finally doing things right.

PHOTO COURTESY OF MIGUEL STATENCommunity members protest for “Justice for DeAndre” after DeAndre Ballard, a student at NCCU, was shot and killed by a security guard in 2018.
By Sofia LesnewskiSenior Writer
Over one year ago on Sept. 17, 2018, N.C. Central University student DeAndre Ballard was killed by Lavar Mitchell, a security guard at Campus Crossings, an off-campus housing complex in Durham. Ballard was 23 years old. For family and activists, many questions are still left unanswered.
Those who knew DeAndre “Dre” Ballard describe him as loving, caring, charismatic and positive.
Sara Snyder, a high school classmate of Ballard’s, said the New Bern native was someone who cared about his faith and made an effort to talk to her despite her shyness.
“If you know DeAndre, you know that he was a really incredible person, really kind, always stayed out of trouble,” she said.
Ronnie Lovick, met Ballard in middle school and stayed close with him while they were both students at NCCU. He fondly remembers how he teased Ballard when he told him he was joining a campus modeling group.
“But he did it, and he actually became very, very good at it,” he said.
Ballard’s friends remember him as someone who avoided confrontation. Shaquille Dixon, who befriended Ballard in the third grade, said he didn’t like knives or guns.
In Mitchell’s 911 call, he said he saw Ballard attempting to open a car door in the complex’s parking lot. He said after he called out to him and asked him what was going on, Ballard jumped into the passenger seat of Mitchell’s car and started reaching for his gun, at which point he shot him in the abdomen.
In later statements to police, Mitchell said he exited his car once Ballard entered. He said Ballard moved to the driver’s seat, tried to
turn on the car and then exited the car, putting his hands on him and making him fear for his safety. He said he drew his gun and then shot him.
Ballard’s family was not notified about his passing until three days later when the police department said his body was identified.
Dixon said he tries to imagine Ballard’s death unfolding as Mitchell described, but can’t.
“He’s not even that type of person, not at all,” he said.
Chandler Powell Jr., a friend of Ballard’s from NCCU, said the image presented by Mitchell is the complete opposite of the person he knew.
“I’m going to my grave knowing that that’s a lie,” he said.
Although the security officer was also Black, Bridgette Robinson, Ballard’s cousin and an NCCU alumna, said Black parents talk to their children about interactions with police officers regardless of their race.
“I know just from that standpoint, not even getting into his personality, he wasn’t going to openly engage someone who’s in a position of authority or who’s deputized or has a gun,” she said.
The Durham District Attorney’s office did not press charges against Mitchell. The DA’s office said in a statement the Durham Police Department determined charges were not warranted in the case, and both current DA Satana Deberry and her predecessor agreed there was no evidence to support a homicide charge.
Dixon said the legal system failed Ballard.
Mitchell’s employer, a security company called N.C. Detective Agency, was cited several times between 2010 and 2012 for improper training of guards and falsif ied training records, according to WRAL. The president, Roger Ladd,
paid approximately $2,600 in fines. Lovick, who worked with Mitchell,
said a guard called him shortly after Ballard was killed, but did not mention the name of the victim. Lovick later read messages on social media about people looking for Ballard, but didn’t immediately connect the two events.
“When I heard it, I was like ‘Dre wouldn’t do anything like that, so there was no point in even thinking about it that way,’” he said.
All three agencies declined to comment beyond what has already been released. Campus Crossings did not respond to DTH inquiries.
Lovick said N.C. Detective Agency did not provide guards with tools of any kind, but that many guards carried guns. He said he thinks the agency should be disbanded.
Chyna Hargrove, a junior at NCCU, said though she didn’t know Ballard, she was very angry when she heard what happened.
“I feel like even now, and it happened last year, there hasn’t been any justice being served or it hasn’t really been talked about,” she said.
Hargrove, like many others at NCCU, was inspired to get involved in activism after Ballard’s death.
Lamont Lilly, a community organizer and NCCU alum, said there didn’t seem to be much support coming from the university.
“There didn’t seem to be much of a desire, a sense of urgency, to get to the bottom of what really happened, of how this young man lost his life.”
Snyder said this reaction has to do with Ballard’s race and school.
“If something like this had happened at Duke or if something like this had happened to a white student, it would have been a totally different response from the city, from the school and from the police department.”
Lilly said he refuses to become numb to the killing of Black people by the institutions designed to serve and protect them.
“It’s more than a story to me,” he said. “It’s my life. It is our lives as a people every day. Every fucking day.”

While many in Chapel Hill devoted their attention to the Duke-UNC game on Saturday, Ken Moore was covering a shift at the North Carolina Botanical Garden in Chapel Hill.
“I love this garden,” he said. “I’m dedicated to it. And even though I retired, like in 2003, I’ve been here teaching a few classes and volunteer here and do a little contract work.”
Moore said he still gets excited every time he sees rare plants, such as the pink lady’s slipper, which only blooms once a year.
“Every time I’m lucky enough to see it, I say – this sounds morose, but it’s really, really special – I say, ‘Wow, look at that,’ and I wonder if I will see it ever again,” he said.
But Moore said he also recognizes threats to the environment like
extinction as credible issues.“You see butterflies — you know,
the monarch butterflies,” he said. “Is this the last one we’re going to see? Are we seeing the last ones flutter away?”
R e c e n t l y , t h e T r u m p administration issued changes to the Endangered Species Act that some environmentalists believe will be damaging to endangered and threatened species. One of these revisions involves removing protec t ions from threatened species, species that are likely to become endangered in the foreseeable future.
North Carolina is home to 61 federally endangered and threatened species, of which 27 of are plants. In the rest of the United States, plants make up over half of the 1,661 species listed as endangered or threatened under the ESA.
Jo h n n y R a n d a l l , d i r e c t o r
Over a year after his death, DeAndre Ballard is not forgotten
The fight to save North Carolina’s endangered plant speciesof conser vation programs at the North Carolina Botanical Garden, said that while animals are protected on both public and private property, plants are only protected on public property.
“It’s the right of the landowner to do what they want with an endangered plant,” he said. “Say it was, for example, the last individual of a species growing on someone’s private land – they could legally pull it up out of the ground and throw it in the garbage.”
This is especially concerning to Randall in North Carolina, where the majority of land is privately owned. Randall said many landowners are proud to have endangered plants on their property, but the ESA revisions could lead to even more species-destroying processes.
Lesley Starke, spokesperson for the N.C. Plant Conservation Program,
said these changes will have drastic effects on the plants, which already receive less funding than endangered and threatened animals.
“We’re talking about the species that are already starting out disadvantaged in terms of how protected they are, and now that we’re talking about these changes, stripping any of that away is just concerning,” she said.
Starke said despite being the base of almost every habitat, plants are often overlooked when it comes to species endangerment.
“People in general struggle to really see those plants as anything other than the background,” she said. “They don’t really value the species right in front of them.”
Starke said she thinks people are more sympathetic to animals because they are more easily recognized as individual species rather than
something in the background. M o o r e s t r e s s e d t h e
interconnectivity of animals and plants in a habitat and said destroying environments leads to animal species becoming endangered.
“People didn’t start taking notice until we suddenly said, ‘What happened to the monarch butterfly or the honeybee?’” he said.
Going forward, Moore said he hopes people will be more conscious of this interconnectivity.
“A lot of people say, ‘Oh, I’m worried about the Earth,’” he said. “I’m not worried about the Earth. The Earth is going to stay here. I am worried about the humans — well, I’m more worried about all the critters because we humans have messed things up.”

EDITORIAL BOARD MEMBERS The odd traditions of
the Nacirema: Air-con
The term Nacirema i s American spelled backward. It was first introduced by
Horace Miner in, “Body Ritual Among the Nacirema.” Today, it is mainly used by anthropologists to distance themselves, and avoid personal bias, when writing about American culture, its rituals, and its customs.
I have lived in Nacirema country for a little more than three years now and I am yet to walk into a Nacireman building whose atmosphere is not being regulated by what the Naricema like to call “air-con.” And what a con it is. At some point in Nacireman history, someone convinced Naciremans that in order to be comfortable they must consistently control all aspects of nature, at all times, including the temperature.
From offices to shops, to libraries, classrooms, cars, buses, restaurants — you name it — everything is conditioned in public spaces. Indeed, there is a need for air-con during extreme weather such as the very hot summers and cold winters. However, I do not understand the need to make buildings below freezing in the summer — what ever happened to room temperature?
Even more, the Naciremans have air-con running throughout the autumn and spring. In these seasons, Naciremans are regulating the temperature by just a few degrees, which leads me to wonder - why not just wear an extra layer or open a window?
Nacireman obsession with air-con may seem trivial, however, when you consider that refrigerants in air-cons have greater greenhouse effects than CO2 and that one-fifth of energy used in buildings is for air-con, you realize that in an effort to control the climate you are destroying the climate.
Indeed, Nacirema country is the most addicted to air-con with only Japan and China somewhat at par with them. Nacireman homes use 30 times more air-con compared to European friends like Germany and the U.K.
So how did this con come about? My educated guesstimate is Nacireman separation of themselves and nature has led them to believe they can continuously dominate over all aspects of nature. It is not simply air-con. From pavements to city parks, to manicured lawns, to perfectly trimmed hedges and trees - nature in Nacirema country only exists where it is allowed to exist.
Nature is allowed in national parks, not in cities. This is why Naciremans like to escape to the mountains and be at one with nature. However, they don’t realize nature is always around them, that they are always within nature. Since humans are made up of nature and we cannot be separated from something that we are.
Hence, what Nacireman tribesmen believe to be a magnificent feat of man dominating nature — a rite of passage if you will — is actually primitive technology that shows an incapacity to work with nature rather than fight it. Perhaps we Africans need to travel to Nacirema country and bring them our advanced ancient technology of how to keep their houses cool using only local resources by building huts.
Access to safe, acceptable and affordable water i s r e c o g n i z e d a s a
fundamental human right by the United Nations. But, in North Carolina, large corporations are beginning to threaten the safety of key river basins serving as a drinking water source for over 300,000 residents.
In early August, Shamrock Environmental, a waste management company based in Greensboro, mistakenly released a large amount of carcinogen into the Cape Fear River basin. This basin provides drinking water for Pittsboro, Fayetteville and numerous other cities downstream. Up until Oct. 15, Greensboro officials and environmental regulators did not publicly identify the corporation for the release of the federally unregulated chemical: 1,4 dioxane.
In addition, documents provided by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality have revealed that Shamrock was repeatedly cited over the last year
for excessive amounts of several chemicals, including zinc, copper, cyanide and colbat, as well as pH violations. However, Greensboro sti l l does not considered the company as being in “significant noncompliance” with regulations.
1,4 dioxane, generally found in paint strippers, varnishes and other household products, dissolves quickly in water and is widely known as a strong carcinogen. On Aug. 23, at one spot along the Haw River, the 1,4 dioxane level was measured at 107 parts per billion, more than 300 times higher than North Carolina’s lifetime health advisory for drinking water. Experts suggest that North Carolina currently has one of the highest levels of 1,4 dioxane in the country, increasing the risk of cancer exponentially for its residents.
Although the EPA is still in the process of fully evaluating the risk that the chemical poses to the environment, animals and humans, that shouldn’t stop officials
from taking the necessary steps to preserve public health. According to the DEQ, Greensboro didn’t notify the state of the accident until Sept. 27, more than a month after the city became aware of the release. The downstream utilities were unable to screen 1,4 dioxane out of water using conventional filtering systems.
Since the Shamrock release, off icials have also been notif ied of a second 1,4 dioxane release in the Cape Fear River basin, which empties into the southern end of Jordan Lake. While the DEQ analyzes the impacts of the contamination, they have provided a list of 15 governing bodies that have high levels of the carcinogen in immediate drinking water, including locations downstream such as Raleigh, Chatham County and Cary.
In an attempt to resolve the i s sue , the DEQ required 25 municipalities in the Cape Fear River basin with pretreatment programs to begin sampling for the carcinogen and other chemicals
that are known to be diff icult to break down with conventional wastewater filtering. Meanwhile, environmental advocates continue to rally for tougher enforcement of responsible industries.
Because 1,4 dioxane is not federally regulated, it is difficult to use laws to push industries to stop the discharges, and it is primarily the city ’s responsibility to issue stronger, industrial pretreatment program requirements to filter out the carcinogen before release.
I t i s i m p e r a t i v e t h a t , f o r public safety, state officials begin prioritizing water safety over the f inancial gain of industries and deal with chemical releases as quickly as possible to prevent downstream contamination. The DEQ and officials must continue to maintain transparency with utilities and the general public on issues that can directly affect North Carolina residents.

Introducing the Coalition Against Violence
TThe 2019 AAU campus climate survey results were released before fall break
and demonstrate what many people on campus already knew to be true: sexual violence is widespread, common and can impact anyone regardless of their gender identity.
Furthermore, we know that s t u d e n t s w i t h m a r g i n a l i z e d identities such as racial/ethnic minorities and LGBTQ students are more likely to be victimized and face greater barriers toward seeking help, reporting and achieving a just outcome in the criminal, civil or campus justice system.
The broadest view of the data shows that out of students in their fourth year or higher, almost half of undergraduate women experienced a form of sexual violence, defined as anything from unwanted sexual touching to rape. One-third of undergraduate transgender/gender non-conforming students and nearly 12 percent of undergraduate men
experienced some form of sexual violence in 2019.
This data emphasizes the need for a student-led coalition against violence on campus. In response to the survey data, the University is calling for: “a coalition of students, faculty and staff to assess additional areas of need for prevention, develop a plan for implementation, oversee implementation and serve as a resource for all prevention efforts on campus.”
However, the University does not have a great track record on following through with these calls to action. Students must use this moment to mobilize and put pressure on the University to make long-lasting changes that strengthen survivors’ reporting options, support and fund violence prevention programming and ensure that survivors are able to access trauma-informed care in a timely manner.
We are inviting you to join the Coalition Against Violence (CAV),
which aims to be the hub of student’s mobilization and organizing against violence on campus. CAV is a response to the AAU survey about sexual violence, but will serve as an umbrella organization focusing on preventing all forms of identity-based violence in the UNC community.
Identity-based violence refers to violence against an individual, group, or community because of their association with a socially salient identity, such as gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, nationality, ability, class, etc. Identity-based violence encompasses a broad range of behavior beyond physical violence, including emotional, psychological, verbal, spiritual and financial violence.
Violence is rooted in inequitable and unjust systems of power, dominat ion and oppress ion . Exploring the sexist, racist, classist, ableist, misogynistic, heterosexist and xenophobic nature of violence is essential because all systems of
power and oppression are inherently related. Eliminating violence must be approached from an intersectional understanding that gives voice to mult iple experiences and perspectives. In order to eradicate one form of violence and oppression, we must work to eradicate all forms of violence and oppression.
Violence prevention means f ighting against the cultures of violence that exist in our society by challenging societal norms and constructs. We must work to promote new norms of consent, respect and compassion. Through prevention-centered education, support and advocacy, CAV envisions a campus free from all forms of violence. You can get involved by joining the Coalition Against Violence! Our first interest meeting will take place on Wednesday, October 30th at 6:30 p.m. in Student Union Rm 2420.

The General Assembly passed new maps for State House and Senate district lines on Sept. 17, just before the deadline mandated by the court after Common Cause v. Lewis. The case alleged that the Republican legislative leadership drew the maps specifically to favor their party.
The suit was filed after some state congressional districts were previously redrawn following a ruling in 2017 that they were racially gerrymandered. The state court agreed with the plaintiffs and declared the redrawn maps unconstitutional on Sept. 3, and ordered them redrawn by Sept. 19.
Doubt about the fairness of the newly drawn maps persists among Democrats. Common Cause and its co-plaintiffs, the N.C. Democratic Party and individual state voters, filed a motion contesting several of the redrawn state house districts.
As the panel looks over the new maps submitted by the General Assembly, UNC students are responding to the redistricting process and what it means for them as voters.
Anders Pokela, director for policy research and programming for UNC Young Democrats, said he thinks the maps are a step in the right direction.
“That being said, there is definitely inherent bias based in the system… This has been going on so long that you can really just erase everything with one redrawing of the districts,” Pokela said.
In d e p e n d e n t re d i s t r i c t i n g commissions are an idea being pushed by Democrats attempting to create a less partisan way to draw district lines by removing power from the legislature. Sophomore Joseph Buckner said he is open to the idea. He is chairperson of UNC College Republicans, but is speaking independently.
“Explor ing the idea of an independent redistricting committee would be something that can bring to the public, maybe we do a voter referendum or something like that, but I think that as of now, we have a fairly good system,” Buckner said.
He said he agrees with the current law of allowing party affiliation to be taken into account when drawing district lines. “It is allowed, it’s not something that’s prohibited, and I’m sticking with the judicial precedent with that,” Buckner said.
Thomas Ellis, interim vice president of UNC Young Democrats, said he thinks the previous maps were drawn in such a way that Republicans had a huge advantage, so any improvement

over that is a good thing, but ultimately it isn’t enough.
“Ultimately it’s a very low bar to jump over, and I don’t think it goes far enough,” Ellis said.
Dan Bishop, a Republican former state senator who won the U.S. House special election for District 9 in September, said that his “no” vote
on the newest maps was a vote against “pure judicial tyranny” from the court.
Buckner said he thinks Bishop means many state courts are left-leaning and take an activist stance — the courts didn’t want Republicans in office, so they wanted to change the lines. Ellis said Bishop’s statement makes it clear that N.C. House and
Senate Republicans don’t want the process to be transparent and nonpartisan.
“It’s time for fair maps in North Carolina,” Ellis said. “If Republicans are afraid to run in a fair election, they need to find a new job.”

A replica of the moon will eclipse downtown Durham as a part of a free, four-day celebration in the community, starting on Oct. 31 through Nov. 3.
Bull Moon Rising has partnered with Durham’s Museum of Life and Science, Keep Durham Beautiful and Austin Lawrence Partners to display artist Luke Jerram’s “Museum of the Moon” exhibit over CCB Plaza. This special occasion is in celebration of Durham’s 150th anniversary and the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing.
Rebecca Brown is the cultural and public art program manager of Durham and helped organize the event. The moon replica measures 23 feet in diameter. Brown said the the replica is based off of images of the lunar surface from NASA.
“Each inch of the spherical structure represents about 6,458
feet of the moon’s surface,” Brown said. “It really gives a very life-like depiction of the moon.”
Every day of the celebration will consist of a variety of performance and events, hosted under the moon. Some of the festivities include performances by the local drag show, House of Coxx, readings of the classic children’s book “Goodnight Moon” in English and Spanish and even a bring-your-own-mat yoga session. One night, there will also be a community dinner.
“We’re going to have food trucks and tables for everyone to gather around and enjoy the evening, be outside and get to know, and really connect with their neighbors,” Brown said.
Tania Dautlick is the executive director of Keep Durham Beautiful, which strives to provide the tools and opportunities for residents to become stewards of the environment and take ownership of their communities.
“Bringing art to Durham is also part of keeping Durham beautiful,
making it visually attractive,” Dautlick said. “So, there have been opportunities for us to get involved in creating stunning landscapes, and also with visually stunning pieces of art like this.”
One of the events throughout the weekend is the Bull Moon Ball. The Bull Moon Ball is a special ticketed fundraising opportunity to raise money for Durham’s non-profit organizations involved in coordinating this event. The ball will be from 8 p.m. to 12 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 1.
“It’s an all-inclusive cocktail with appetizers, a DJ and dancing and with views of the moon from the rooftop of the hotel,” Dautlick said. “If the weather’s nice, there’s also going to be someone talking about astronomy there with telescopes. It’s also fancy cocktail attire, which is a fun opportunity to get dressed up.”
Brandon Yarborough, a Durham resident, is looking forward to the event as a consumer of all things art.
“I think it will be good for the area

to bring in a lot of people, and engage people in the area,” Yarborough said. “Hopefully we will get some education and interest from younger
people in the community to explore something new.”

By Parth Upadhyaya Senior Writer
Javonte Williams couldn’t even watch.
He sat on the sideline, his eyes closed. Minutes ago, the sophomore running back had fumbled with his team three yards from the end zone. Now, as Duke marched 92 yards down the field in less than three minutes, he sulked.
Eighteen seconds remained. The Blue Devils trailed by three at the Tar Heels’ 1-yard line. Williams thought the game was over.
But after Duke quarterback Quentin Harris handed the ball off to running back Deon Jackson, Jackson jumped up and threw it, attempting to hit tight end Noah Gray in the endzone.
Instead, it was UNC linebacker Chazz Surratt who leapt up to grab the ball. The interception allowed the Tar Heels to beat the Blue Devils, 20-17, for the program’s first win over its archrival since 2015.
“I just said a prayer,” Williams said after the game. “I was like, ‘Thank you, God.’ Because I know it had to be him.”
Surratt’s clutch moment, and
his story of redemption, were too storybook-esque. Two years ago, many looked at Surratt as the reason UNC lost to Duke at home. With his team trailing by three points with four minutes left, the then-redshirt, first-year threw an awkward two-handed interception that sealed the Tar Heels’ fate.
Last season, Surratt lost his starting role to then-redshirt junior Nathan Elliott. And when head coach Mack Brown returned to Chapel Hill, he brought in first-year Sam Howell months later.
Surratt saw the writing on the wall. But instead of transferring, he opted to use his athleticism in a different way.
The Denver, North Carolina, native converted to linebacker. And his persistence has paid off. Through UNC’s first eight games this season, Surratt leads the team in tackles with 75 and is tied for the lead in sacks with five.
“I think it’s crazy,” he admitted. “But, you know, stuff happens for a reason. I was in that position for a reason.”
Williams said Surratt didn’t know any of the defensive coverages in the spring and “barely knew how to get
his stance straight.” But now? “I think he’s pretty much of the
best in the ACC,” Williams said. “I don’t know how to describe what he’s done. Because that’s one of the less contact positions, as quarterback, he’s going to be hitting every play. That just shows what type of player he is.”
In Surratt, Brown sees a future NFL linebacker. The head coach said he’s seen “significant improvement” from Surratt’s f irst outing as a linebacker in the season opener against South Carolina.
“I’m so proud of Chazz,” Brown said. “He works so hard every day … He’s big and he’s fast, and he’s learning every week to have better linebacker instincts.”
While a mistake of his own cost the Tar Heels the game against the Blue Devils in 2017, this time, Surratt saved the day after a teammate’s error.
He provided Williams with something he himself didn’t receive two seasons ago: a moment of relief.
As Williams saw Surratt rise up from the turf with the football and run to the sideline in celebration, he ran to
running back coach Robert Gillespie. “That was crazy,” Williams said.
“I just ran straight to Coach G and gave him a hug. I mean, we hugged for like five seconds.”
But Surratt — in his usual fashion — didn’t make the moment about himself. When asked by reporters
the significance of his interception, he focused on the bigger picture.
“I’m just thankful to help my team win,” Surratt said. “That’s the most important thing.”

Mauricio Pineda broke through the Louisville defense and ripped a shot.
Fans stood on their feet, holding onto one another. For a brief moment, a look of hope flashed across their — and the team’s — eyes as Pineda’s ball sailed through the air.
But the ball landed into the hands of Louisville’s goalkeeper, quickly extinguishing any chance of a tie or even a victory.
With three seconds left, the Tar Heels watched the game slip away as Louisville took a ball-clearing free kick. The No. 21 North Carolina men’s soccer team (7-5-3, 3-4-0) fell 1-0 to Louisville (8-5-2, 3-3-1) on Friday night, unable to give its graduating players a win on senior night.
“It’s bittersweet to be the first class that goes off in a new stadium as seniors,” senior midfielder Jack Skahan said. “It’s difficult to not win the game, but I think our senior class is the special ones because of the success that has been had by our class
on and off the field, the relationships we have on and off the field.”
The seven seniors on the team now have a record of 45-15-9 during their four years, and traveled to the College Cup in both 2016 and 2017. Despite that, their final season hasn’t gone how the team hoped.
“This season hasn’t been what obviously they or we envisioned, but it doesn’t take away from how proud I am of them,” head coach Carlos Somoano said. “...I just wish they could get more reward from their efforts, because that’s all you want as a coach. You want to see them happy and successful.”
The night opened with a tribute to the team’s graduating players, honoring each of them for their accomplishments.
“When you walk out onto the field and they’re calling your name, your mom is there and you feel something,” Skahan said. “You’re like, ‘Wow, this is almost the end of playing here.’”
The game was fairly even during the first half — Louisville pressed high, causing UNC to sit back to
protect the goal. The Cardinals outshot North Carolina 6-5 before the break, converting one of those shots into a goal in the 35th minute.
In the second half, North Carolina could not find its offense. In shot after shot, UNC’s balls went wide or were deflected at the last second. Only two of the team’s 10 shots were on goal, while Louisville was on target with three of its 11.
As the game ended after Pineda’s last-ditch shot, North Carolina’s bench stood as the realization hit. Each player paused where they were standing, some with their hands over their heads, a few covering their faces with their jerseys.
Aside from Louisville’s cheers, the stadium was silent.
Senior Jeremy Kelly slowly walked over for postgame interviews. He was at a loss for words, struggling to articulate what the night meant to him.
“It was nice to have the family there, but you really don’t think about that now after a loss,” Kelly said. “I don’t really know honestly.”

was especially diff icult because Kelly, a lifelong UNC fan.
“Every four years, you make great friends and you’ll remember a lot,” Kelly said. “... Growing up a Carolina fan, it’s amazing stepping out onto this field, putting on the Carolina jersey, playing with so many great players...”
“It’s a family with a big legacy, so it’s an honor. It means everything.”
While that night was meant to
honor the seniors, Somoano isn’t ready to reflect on his veterans’ time at UNC just yet. Despite the loss, he’s looking ahead.
“I know it’s senior night, but it’s not the end of the season,” Somoano said. “You never know, maybe the best is yet to come.”
Surratt redeems himself with pick versus Duke
Injured Leemans scores game-winner versus Boston CollegeBy Torre Netkovick
Staff Writer
With 2:43 left in the fourth quarter, the fans at Karen Shelton Stadium fell silent.
In that moment, the No. 1 North Carolina field hockey team and No. 13 Boston College were tied, with UNC’s Yentl Leemans preparing for a penalty corner.
North Carolina was without sophomore Erin Matson, the nation’s leading scorer who’s in India representing the U.S. National Team. Despite the absence of their best player, the Tar Heels, and an injured Leemans, still had a chance to deliver.
And deliver they did.Leemans scored the game-
winning goal off a give-and-go penalty corner with redshirt first-year Romea Riccardo, securing a 3-2 victory for North Carolina to preserve an undefeated season and clinch the ACC regular season title.
In order for Leemans’ goal to happen, she had to overcome obstacles along the way. She wasn’t
even sure if she would be able to play against the Eagles.
She was hit on the toe in practice the day before, and though X-rays showed that it wasn’t broken, it was badly bruised. It was enough to keep her out of the Tar Heels’ game against Liberty last Sunday.
After sitting out practice this week, Leemans returned to play against Boston College with a wrapped toe and a special insole inside her right shoe that gave her toe the support it needed.
Both teams were unable to finish their chances early on, marking just the second time this season the Tar Heels did not score in the first half.
Late in the third quarter, Boston College finally scored the first goal of the game to take a 1-0 lead. Trailing by one heading into the fourth quarter, the Tar Heels would need some more late magic.
“Definitely nerve wracking, but I think we are a fourth-quarter team,” said sophomore forward Riley Fulmer, who replaced Matson in the starting lineup. “There was another
game against Princeton earlier this year – we were in a similar scenario. None of us were freaking out too much, knowing we still had time left.”
Early in the fourth quarter, Fulmer scored UNC’s first goal of the game and tied the score, 1-1. Shortly after, senior Megan DuVernois scored off a penalty stroke, but with 4:34 left to play, Boston College’s Elizabeth Warner scored to even things back up.
With little time left, North Carolina was awarded a penalty corner, and Leemans, ready to take a seat on the bench, decided to stay in for one last play.
“We had three minutes left, and I was personally so tired,” Leemans said. “I was asking for a sub, and then we had a corner. I was like, ‘I will do this corner, and then I’m going to sub out,’ because I thought we were going into overtime so I need at least a few minutes to rest.”
As the Tar Heels got into position, Leemans had an idea.
“I was like, OK, we have to do a pass (to the right side) because the other corners we did before weren’t

working,” Leemans said.Sophomore midf ielder Abby
Pitcairn passed the ball to Leemans, who guided the ball to Riccardo and positioned herself to the right of the goalie. When Riccardo’s pass fell to Leemans’ stick, she snuck the ball past the goalie to give UNC the win.
The Tar Heels hugged each other in celebration. Leemans, a senior captain, had to overcome a toe
injury to get here, helping her team earn a hard-fought ACC win.
But according to her coach, that’s nothing new for Leemans.
“She is an absolute warrior,” head coach Karen Shelton said. “She is the hardest worker on the team. She has a great attitude. She is as tough as nails.”

Forum talks future Asian American Center By Jackie Sizing
Staff Writer
Last Thursday, the UNC Asian American Students Association (AASA) held an open forum in the Campus Y for UNC community members to learn more about the future of the Asian American Center expected to open in Fall 2020 — despite student leaders advocating for its creation since 1994.
“Asian American students are the only minority yet to have their own center on campus,” senior June Yom, president of the Asian American Student Association, said.
After its announced opening earlier this semester, Yom said there was confusion among students about what exactly the Asian American Center would be, what function it would serve and who it would serve.
Yom said she hoped the open forum would answer these types of questions.
During the forum, campaign members behind the center presented the center’s purposes which include promoting the public understanding of Asian American cultures, supporting the Asian American student population and providing resources and opportunities for them.
Including Yom, the campaign team is made up of 11 students and two alumni. Eugene Lao, an alumnus who graduated in 1991, is one of two alumni on the campaign team and helped co-found the original version of AASA.
Lao gave AASA a gift of $100,000 to ensure the sustainability of the organization. But, Yom and other student leaders thought the money could go toward the creation of a center to advance the needs of Asian American students on campus.
They approached Lao with the idea and gained support from other leaders on campus, such as Barb Lee, a founding member of the UNC Alumni Committee on Racial and Ethnic Diversity who graduated from UNC in 1988.
During the forum, campaign members said the University does not provide any permanent resources to support the exploration of Asian American identities, cultures and histories on campus other than a small shelf on the seventh floor of Davis Library.
Asian Americans make up 16 percent of students at UNC and 18 percent of undergraduate first-years, making them the largest ethnic minority on campus, according to
campaign members’ presentation.Despite this, in 2016, 35 percent
o f A s ian American s tudents reported they lacked a sense of belonging on campus.
Andy Liu, a first-year majoring in chemistry, grew up in North Carolina and said he was surprised when he arrived at UNC that the University did not have a center for Asian American students on campus, since they make up a large part of the student population.
Because of this, Liu said most Asian Americans find their communities within various student groups, which are subject to limitations, like funding, as a campus club.
Since the launch of the campaign for the Asian American Center in April, the campaign team has made major strides toward the center’s creation. This includes accepting $400,000 in donations from Lao and Lee, collecting endorsements from over 20 student organizations, receiving authorization to plan by interim Chancel lor Kevin Guskiewicz and Provost Bob Blouin and assembling a Provost Committee and Student Advisory Board to oversee the process.
The campaign must still raise $2.1 million by August 2020 and receive
Board of Trustees approval on their Request to Establish the Asian American Center by January 2020 to meet the projected opening date.
In addition to meeting the members of the Asian American Center Student Advisory Board, attendees were able to give direct feedback to the campaign team and share what they would like to be
included in the future space. “I hope students walked away with
a sense of ownership and feeling like they had a voice over what was going to happen with the center,” said Anna Hattle, a senior majoring in computer science and statistics and analytics and former president of AASA.
The Warehouse apartments changes ownership
DTH/BEN TRANThe Warehouse apartment complex was recently bought and acquired by the Preiss Company, a student housing real estate investor based in Raleigh.
By Sonia RaoStaff Writer
The Warehouse apar tment complex, an off-campus housing location for students at UNC, has recently been sold to a new developer.
The Preiss Company, a student housing real estate investor based in Raleigh, recently acquired the apartments from the previous owner, New York City-based Clarion Partners.
A d a m B y r l e y, t h e P r e i s s Company’s chief operating officer, said the company always wanted to invest in Chapel Hill, as the company’s founder and CEO Donna Preiss is a UNC graduate.
“The present-day student housing market in Chapel Hill is extremely strong, and it made lots of sense for us to own property here,” Byrley said in an email. “When the Warehouse opportunity arose, we jumped at the chance to have a class A property that is walking distance to campus.”
M a t t G l a d d e k , e x e c u t i v e director of the Downtown Chapel
Hill Partnership, said the sale accentuates demand for off-campus housing that is walking distance from the University.
“Especially in downtown where I track all of the leases, there are no available units anywhere in downtown,” Gladdek said. “You know, we have some vacancy in our office and in our retail (units), but our residential is full, and the rental rates for those available units are going up year to year. I think it is a very clear indication of the high demand for these types of units.”
Byrley said the Preiss Company has big plans for the Warehouse apartment space, including upgrades to internet and cable packages, amenity spaces and the rooftop lounge. In addition, he said the Preiss Company will be revealing an in-class resident life program called COACH that will provide opportunities for residents like building career services and life skills, fostering social wellness and creating opportunities for outreach in the community.
Caroline Le, a junior at UNC and current resident of The Warehouse Apartments, said she is excited to see some of these changes implemented.
“The new management hasn’t told us much, but they did promise a lot of new renovations and updated amenities coming in the near future,” Le said.
But Le said said these new amenities don’t come without a cost.
“Because of all the renovations and with new management going in, our rent for the next leasing period next year increased significantly,” Le said.
Byrley said the Warehouse apartment rent is not above the market average, and the Preiss Company believes the apartment complex is of high value within the current market.
“We hope to allow a lot more value in the near future that will continue to make The Warehouse a top choice for students at Carolina,” he said.

By Preston ForeStaff Writer
UNC alumnus Jason Walsh is used to being around celebrities. Just a few weeks ago, he climbed a mountain with actress Brie Larson and filmmaker Jimmy Chin.
He’s also worked with Matt Damon, Bradley Cooper and a number of other big Hollywood names like Jennifer Aniston and John Krasinski.
It’s just another day at work for Walsh, an entrepreneur and fitness trainer who works to help celebrities prepare for big roles.
Walsh, who graduated in 2006 as a non-traditional student, is the founder of Rise Nation, a multimillion-dollar fitness venture. On Monday, he’ll be returning to Chapel Hill to speak at an event sponsored by the Carolina Sport Business Club.
Walsh founded Rise Nation about five years ago in Los Angeles. The studio focuses on high intensity interval training using a f itness machine called the VersaClimber.
Walsh said he hopes to speak with students at UNC about the interconnections of business and fitness, and to let them know they can find their own path to success —
something he wishes someone would have told him when he was in school.
“It is an opportunity for me to give back to the people that are coming up into the industry,” Walsh said.
At Rise Nation, Walsh said he hopes to redefine workouts as safe, satisfying and low risk by incorporating high intensity interval training, Versaclimber machines and music into 30 minute classes.
“I stuck to my dream and took a risk,” Walsh said about starting his business. “I was willing to put it all on the line because I believed in this. Years later, we’re still changing lives. That’s what keeps me going.”
While Walsh was a student, he worked with the UNC Olympic Sports Strength & Conditioning program while studying part-time.
“I was all over the places with things I wanted to do,” Walsh said. “It was not until I began my internship in the strength and conditioning program that I found my true calling.”
Walsh said he knew he wanted to create an “anti-gym” where people could let their guard down during their workout.
Rebecca Lawson, executive communication specialist for the CSBC, said she’s looking forward to
hearing Walsh speak.“It is awesome that he is a UNC
alumnus, and I look forward to hearing how he balanced his academics in preparation for his career,” Lawson said.
Alain Aguilar, a teaching associate professor in the Excercise and Sports Science department and director of the undergraduate fitness professional program, said fitness trainers like Walsh help actors prepare for the physical and aesthetic demands of their upcoming roles.
“If they need to look like a big military person, he’ll work with them with diet and exercise to help them create the image they need and have the stamina to withstand the demands of playing the role and acting,” Aguilar said, speaking generally on the role of celebrity trainers.
Walsh has been featured in many publications, including Vanity Fair, and Men’s Health, for his role in preparing well-known actors and actresses for their appearances in hit films. Most notably, he has trained Brie Larson for “Captain Mar vel ,” Bradley Cooper for “American Sniper ” and Matt Damon for “Jason Bourne.”
S t i l l , Wa l s h d o e s n’ t w a n t
students to think they have to blindly copy his path to success.
“No one is going to get in my position following what I did,” Walsh said. “But I had to make mistakes, and they don’t need to make those same mistakes.”
Those who’d like to hear Walsh speak can join the Carolina Sport
Business Club at the club’s meeting on Monday in Gardner Hall, Room 105 at 6 p.m.
“I want to help lift the bar in the industry and help students understand business better – because I didn’t,” Walsh said.

Local election season is here in Orange County, and we talked to the candidates in each of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro races. As of Oct. 27, just over 2,100 people voted
in the county, and voting will continue through this week until Friday. Polls are open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., but close one hour early on Halloween. Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 5, and polls are open across the county from 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Pam Hemminger is the incumbent mayor of Chapel Hill, elected in 2015. She previously served on the Board of Orange County Commissioners and Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools board. She wants the Town to implement its Climate Action Plan, expand transit options and be an inclusive environment.
“I think Carrboro needs to work on growing up and out while continuing to protect the rural buffer and continuing to ensure that, our surface permeable lots, we need to make sure that we have a plan for inclement weather.”
Matthew Clements is a self-described libertarian. He is a graduate of UNC and works in IT support.
“ I f w e s e e c o n t i n u e d growth, Carrboro must work to maintain its vibrancy, its inclusivity, and its welcoming of people from all over.”
Steve Friedman works for a wholesale drug company for independent pharmacies and holds an MBA from UNC’s Kenan-Flagler Business School.
“I definitely see a lot more density in Carrboro. So maybe a lot of the buildings will be four, five stories. I can even see commercial on the lower level with some residential stories on top of that.”
Susan Romaine moved to Carrboro f ifteen years ago and holds an MPP from the University of Chicago.
