Student disc jockeys campaign against sexist bar cultureBy Gabriella Cirelli

Arts & Culture EditorDisc jockeys Trevor Dougherty and Rob

Sekay do it for the ladies.The UNC seniors, who have made names

for themselves at bars and clubs like PulseNightclub and Cats Cradle, are joining otherstudent DJs to speak out against discrimina -tion in bars and clubs.

The movement is targeting the practiceof offering free or discounted admission for women, which they believe is demeaning tofemale bargoers.

I dont think a lot of women really real-ize that they are actually the product beingsold, Sekay said. By advertising ladies nightor by offering no cover to women, that tellsthe male audience that this is where all the women are going to be. And not only is thatobjectifying the women, but its also commod-

ifying them as well, which is pretty harsh.Dougherty decided to become vocal about

the issue after an incident at FitzgeraldsIrish Pub in April. A female patron com -plained when the DJ played the popular songBlurred Lines by Robin Thicke, which hasdrawn criticism from feminist activists whosay the song promotes rape culture.

Dougherty helped orchestrate a small boy-cott of Fitzgeralds in April, but he said thatisnt the goal of this movement. The DJs haveagreed not to play during any nights that offerdifferent admission rates to men and women.

As performers and as people who live o ffof this night scene, boycotting clubs would be boycotting ourselves, he said.The big-gest thing I want would be to start a conversation with the people who control thenight culture in Chapel Hill.

Sekay said he plans to start a web cam-paign highlighting some of the sexism he sees

in nightlife and approach venues to see if theymight engage in this discussion.

I think that they would be willing to work with us as long as we come at them with an open expression of dialogue and were not hostile, he said.

Pulse Nightclub owner Richard Sergois one such person who is on board withthe DJs campaign. He has worked withDougherty, a resident DJ at Pulse, foralmost three years.

Weve noticed that, basically, whetheror not we do a ladies night or just a regularnight, the turnout was the same, if not better,Sergo said. (Trevor) talked to me about howPulse would feel, essentially making a com -mitment to divert from that practice in ourofficial Pulse events, and I dont see why that would be a bad idea.

Sexual assaultpolicy not yet

updated

By Bradley Saacks and Jenny SuraneSenior Writers

Today students will have classes and assign-ments but still no updated sexual assaultpolicy.

The Sexual Assault Task Force said it wouldhave its new policy ready by the beginning of the year. The release has been delayed several timessince the Task Force originally convened in May2013. At first, the group said it would releasepreliminary recommendations for the University before the start of the 2013-14 academic year.

We expect (the updated policy) to be released very soon, said Joel Curran, the Vice Chancellorof Communications and Public Affairs.

The University began evaluating its sexualassault policies after three students filed acomplaint against the University with the U.S.Department of Educations Office for CivilRights, alleging that UNC facilitated a hostileenvironment for victims reporting sexual assault.Since then, members of the Sexual Assault TaskForce have spent months defining words likeconsent, inebriation and black-out drunk tocraft a new policy that would address the emerg -

ing prevalence of sexual assault on campus.Curran declined to comment on why the newpolicy wouldnt be ready today. Junior Sarah-Kathryn Bryan, a member of the Sexual AssaultTask Force, said the Chancellors office didntreceive the groups final draft until last week.

We had our final meeting in June, Bryansaid. But we had to make sure all the language was in line with the task force.

Between May 2013 and June 2014, the Sexual Assault Task Force met 20 times, according to TheDaily Tar Heels analysis of the groups schedule.

The group spent $4,842.88 on food, bever-ages and catering for these meetings, accordingto public records provided to The Daily Tar Heel.University trust funds, not student fees, paid forthe food expenses, the record shows.

The University is part of the growing numberof colleges and universities to revisit their sexual

The final draft was delivered tothe chancellor just last week.

Construction dominates quad

By Bradley SaacksUniversity Editor

Instagram feeds across UNC will be missing the customary firstday of classes quad pictures today.

The University is currentlyremoving asbestos insulationfrom the steam tunnels that rununder campus. The construction wont be completed until March2015, said Bill Lowery, thecogeneration systems manager.There will also be additional vents added to the tunnels as well as improvements to thesupporting structure for under -ground pipes.

It is one of those unfortunaterealities that we all live with,that to be able to provide thelevel of service that we do on this

campus and the quality environ-ment for a great education, wemust occasionally disturb areasto maintain and care for them,Lowery said in an email.

The paths to some build-ings have been blocked becausetemporary fencing has beenplaced around the construction, but there are signs indicatingdetours. Lowery stressed all buildings are still open.

This project is not preventingaccess to any campus buildings,he said. The project does havesome sidewalk and buildingaccess point detours that are inplace for the safety of the stu -dents, the public and for our con-struction team, but all facilities will remain accessible for use.

The construction will cost theUniversity nearly $5 million,according to a document fromSusan Hudson, a spokeswomanfor the University.

Asbestos removal on main campusRemoval of asbestos from the insulation of the steam tunnels beneath UNCs campus has forcedconstruction crews to block off certain areas of the main campus.

News Tuesday, August 19, 2014The Daily Tar Heel 3

By Holly WestCity Editor

This Friday, students who want to celebrate making itthrough their first week ofclasses will have a new hang-out to visit The Heel Barand Grill.

The Heel is located in theformer space of Chapel Hillnightclub The Thrill, whichclosed July 11 after two yearsin business.

The new bar is student-focused, said owner GlenTurner, who also owned TheThrill.

Turner said he partneredup with Buzz Rides CEOJoey Skavroneck and someother UNC students tocreate a concept for a res-taurant and bar that wouldcapture students attention.The group spent time get -ting feedback from studentsand applying it to their busi-ness plan.

Turner said there didntseem to be any bars in ChapelHill that catered directly tostudents, including his.

Chapel Hill isnt a club

town, he said. Its more of afriendly bar town. We wantto cater to the right group ofpeople, and we felt that TheThrill wasnt drawing thatgroup that we wanted.

Peter Wu, a junior econom-ics major, said hes sad to seeThe Thrill go.

Between that and EastEnd closing, its a shame, hesaid.

But Elizabeth Commitz, aDurham resident who visitsChapel Hill and Carrborooften, said she welcomes a bar with a more la id-backatmosphere.

A club doesnt really fitinto this area, she said.

The Heel had its soft open -ing last weekend and willcelebrate its grand openingFriday.

The bar will have a spe-cialty drink menu featuringsignature cocktails withnames like MoonshineMojito and Bullet BourbonLemonade.

Turner said many of thedrinks have locally-sourcedingredients.

Its kind of like a NorthCarolina recipe with a mod -ern day kick, he said.

Its full food menu includesclassic offerings such ascheeseburgers in additionto quirkier options such as

chicken and waffles and deepfried grilled cheese sand - wiches.

Its kind of a spin on American cuisine and somesouthern food as well, Turnersaid.

For more adventurousdiners, The Heel offers a chal-lenge the Doms DumpBurger Challenge.

The Doms Dump Burgeris a one-pound burger topped with mac and cheese, onionrings, barbecue sauce and bacon. It is served with apound of fries.

Anyone who completelyfinishes the meal will get theirpicture hung on the wall and

receive a T-shirt.The Heel will have live

music a couple times amonth, Turner said.

Ryan Godwin, a Winston-Salem resident who visitsChapel Hill frequently, saidthats something hed love tosee.

I would like to see morelive music, he said.

As far as late night onFranklin, I dont know a lot ofplaces.

Fridays grand opening will include a performance byChapel Hills The Trap HouseBand.

Chapel Hill residents get to know the students next doorBy Zoe Schaver

Assistant City Editor

The ever-expanding Good NeighborInitiative saw 55 volunteers sign up to go door-to-door Monday afternoon, only slightly fewerthan last years all-time high of 63.

During the event, volunteers includingUNC students, Chapel Hill residents, policeofficers and University staff split into groupsto visit houses and offer advice on how to be apolite, law-abiding neighbor.

Megan Wooley, community sustainabilityplanner for the Town of Chapel Hill, has been volunteering with the initiative for four years.

What we find is that a lot of students wholive in the neighborhoods have just never livedon their own before, so its important to remindthem that theyre living in a different space, Wooley said. Its encouraging them to keep thetowns regulations in mind and, in a lot of cases,letting them know what the regulations are.

Typical topics of conversation include the

towns four-person occupancy rule, noise ordi -nances and trash pickup guidelines. This year,some new topics arose, such as p arking rulesthat were released in September, as well aschanged rules for recycling collection.

Organized by event leader AaronBachenheimer, director of UNCs Office ofFraternity & Sorority Life and CommunityInvolvement, the volunteers spent two hours walking the length of the Northside, Cameron-McCauley, Pine Knolls and Davie Circle neighborhoods, as well as along Pine Bluff Trail.

Weve expanded our resources significantlyover the years, said Bachenheimer, who has been with the Good Neighbor Initiative since 2009.

Chapel Hill resident and volunteer TristanRouth, an attorney for Carolina Student LegalServices, said he volunteered for the first timethis year to inform students of their legal rightsand duties as residents.

For people to be good n eighbors, its espe-cially important for them to know the law, hesaid.

Bachenheimer said that in recent years, vol-unteers have hit about 1,000 houses throughthe event. Wooley said many neighborhoodshave requested that the initiative expand toinclude them.

Becca Reardon, a UNC student living in theNorthside neighborhood, one of the areas volun-teers visited, said she lived off campus last yearas well.

I was in an apartment, which makes youfeel like its only students living around you,Reardon said. Here, its a weird mosaic ofpeople. We have a little kid living next door,and Im so used to living only around p eoplemy own age.

One of the events first-time volunteers wasFaith Thompson, ombudswoman for the townof Chapel Hill.

Im hoping Ill see a light bulb go off insomeones head, like, Oh, thats what I can doto be a good neighbor! she said.

A BEAUTIFUL DAY INTHE NEIGHBORHOOD

By Crystal YuilleStaff Writer

The UNC Studio Art Majors Association is made up of student art-ists who love displaying their work inHanes Art Center. The associationsart gallery in the building, though, isnothing more than a simple storagecloset.

The group strives to redefine whatcreative expression means on campus,particularly when it comes to censor-ship in student art.

Senior Diego Camposeco, presidentof SAMA, said their storage closet isnot a form of censorship by the school.Rather, the artists of SAMA decided tocensor themselves.

Its more self-censorship thananything else, said Camposeco, whoused to work for The Daily Tar Heel asa photographer. A lot of people self-censor a lot of people dont want tocreate controversy.

While the space might seem bizarre,Camposeco said its most importantto create art that strays from what isexpected, regardless of where its beingdisplayed.

In the Hanes Art Center, artists feelthat it is their space. They know theirart will be valued more there, he said.

Camposeco cited an exhibit thatSAMA hosted last year in the closetspace titled, Coming In An ArtShow On Queer Aesthetics, in whichthen-senior Andy Champions sculp -ture titled Devotion featured 20phallic wax candles and glitter.

We had a penis altar in the show.If we put that piece in the middle ofcampus, it wouldnt have the sameeffect, Camposeco said.

Some students like junior Victor Foster, a member of theUndergraduate Art Association, wantto see a serious reevaluation of the typeof art being displayed on campus.

I can definitely testify to the factthat there is a real lack of dynamic artaround here, Foster said.

To me, dynamic art is the typeof art that takes you somewhere. Itevokes feelings of love and regret, hap -piness and disgust. Art is supposed tomake you feel human. I havent seenmuch of that kind of art around UNC.

Similar sentiments were expressed by another member of the UAA, fresh-man Kishan Rana. While he hasnt been here long, he said disapproves ofthe idea of censorship.

America is obsessed with socialmedia and fitting in. We have unrealis -tic social standards and norms, Ranasaid.

Its so stupid that women have tocover their nipples when men can free-ly expose them. We all have dicks and vaginas. What now? Embrace it.

Camposeco said he has similar opin-ions about how social norms enforcecensorship.

Its a form of censorship when peo -ple dont want to stray from the norm because they feel pressure from theirpeers to conform to what theyre doingor what theyre saying, he said.

Camposeco said he also feelsSAMAs own self-censorship opens thespace to those actively seeking differ-ent expressions of art. He said at thegroups queer art show students madeart that revolved around the defini-tion of queer and what being queermeans.

Its because they feel different they dont feel a part of the main-stream, he said.

Our mission is simply to make artthat we realize isnt shown anywhereelse. We want to see real art, and itsunfortunate that we have to take itinto our own han ds.

New Honor Court rules for hearings, penalties

By Langston TaylorAssistant University Editor

The Honor Court will now needless evidence to convict studentsafter major changes were imple-mented to the student Honor Codethis month.

The changes to the Instrumentof Student Judicial Governance,the result of years of work by theCommittee on Student Conduct,also include changes to suggestedacademic dishonesty sanctions andthe notation of forced class failureson students transcripts.

Faculty involvement

In a primarily student-run honorsystem, trained faculty will take partin academic dishonesty hearings in which students plead not guilty.

The five-person panels were allstudents, but a faculty member willnow replace one of the students.

Honor Court ChairwomanDakota Foard said the change wasdone to make faculty feel includedand should not change much.

At the end of the day, it prob-ably will not change the outcome of

the hearings in any significant way. Adam Bridges, a freshman from

Raleigh, said he liked the idea.Different backgrounds have dif -

ferent points of view, he said.But freshman Tyler McCollum

said he was concerned about facultymembers being more sympathetic totheir co-workers than to students.

The new Instrument also allowsfor students and instructors to settlethe case without going through ahearing if the student has no prioracademic dishonesty violations.

Lower burden of proof

Formerly, students charged withHonor Code violations were con-sidered innocent until proven guiltybeyond a reasonable doubt. The burden of proof has been lowered toclear and convincing evidence.

Student Attorney General RaquelDominguez said the previous stan -dard was the highest possible and israre for colleges around the nation.

Foard said the high standard,though unusual, did not pose a prob -lem for convicting students. Eighty-seven percent of students either pledguilty or were found so in HonorCourt cases between Feb. 18 andDec. 4 of last year, she said.

Sanctioning changes

Dominguez said some professors were hesitant to charge students

because they thought the penalties were too harsh. Each student whoreceives a failing grade due to a sanc-tion will see the violation noted onthe students transcript.

The timing for construc-tion was a matter of coordina-tion with other campus activi-ties and needs and allocationof funding, he said.

Freshman AnnieKonzelman said the construc-

tion could have an effect onpotential student tours.

I saw (the construction),and I was a little bit disap-pointed that it didnt look as beautiful as when I came to visit, she said.

Freshman MadeleineShafto said it will take someadjusting to, but it wouldnthave made a difference to herif the construction were there

when she toured the campus.It wouldnt have affected

my decision, because it isnecessary, so, at some point,these things are going to haveto happen, she said.

Orji said, personally, he would not have taken theconstruction too seriously ifhe were a prospective stu -dent visiting campus, but heunderstands the issue.

I know a lot of people would see that and be just

completely taken back bythat, he said.

Lowery acknowledgedthe situation is not ideal, butthe amount of constructionon campus is actually muchlower than a few years ago.

This campus is well over200 years old. It takes a lot ofTLC to provide the wonderfulinstitution that you see before you today and for those thatcame before and those that will follow.

guys come in. The DJs mighthave a problem with it, butthe guys dont.

Davis said his main concernis providing a positive environ -ment for UNC students, whichis why Deep End often chargesa lower cover for students whopresent a UNC One Card.

I just want a place wherestudents and locals can comeand feel safe and have fun,he said.

The Deep End doesnt hostspecific ladies nights. The bar

often offers discounts on cov-ers for women. Doughertysaid the practice creates a meatmarket in bars and clubs anddraws attention away from what nightlife should be about.

These nights are aboutthe music and the party andthe experience, he said. Thehookup culture people mightenjoy, but thats secondary.

But Davis said he doesntknow of a bar in town that would survive without promo -tional nights or cover discounts.

When our customers startcomplaining, Ill do something.But until then, everybodyscopacetic with it, he said.

Dougherty and Sekay saidthey want to encourage stu-dents to speak out about whatthey want from Chapel Hill bar culture.

Franklin should be run by the opinions of students,Dougherty said. And we havethat power.

five years.In its report released earlier

this month, the UNC-systemBoard of Governors said thatsystem schools should prompt-ly investigate and adjudicatereports of sexual assault.

After releasing i ts newGender-Based MisconductPolicy for Students last week, Columbia University was criticized for failingto address accomodationsfor survivors and leavingthe appeals process in thehands of administrators withlittle experience. Harvard

University also updated itsSexual and Gender-BasedHarassment Policy earlierthis summer after its originalpolicy failed to provide aca-demic and therapeutic sup-port for victims.

The task force was commit-ted to including student andadministrative feedback, andCurran said that means releas-ing the report took longer.

Administrators havealready adopted many of thepolicies laid out in the taskforces report, Bryan said.

Having a formal rollout

wasnt expected, Bryan said.We have people working inaccordance with the new policyeven though it hasnt been inte-grated into the whole campus.

Going forward, the members of the task force will work with the University toensure the new policies areimplented smoothly.

I will be focused on dis-pensing as much informationto people entangled in inter -personal violences issues,Bryan said.

weekend hours would be apositive addition.

Last year, I felt the frustra-tion of always having to useRams or Franklin Street. I wishthese new hours affected bot-tom of Lenoir, too, she said.

Freeman said every five years, the University bringsin food consultants to givedining officials an unbiasedexamination of food services atUNC. Last year, a firm calledEnvision Strategies hostedfocus groups with students aspart of this assessment, and thelack of weekend hours came up

LENOIRFROM PAGE 1

often in these focus groups.

Freeman said anothermotivation for adding Lenoir brunch was the increasingpopularity of brunch at RamsHead Dining Hall in recent years. Last year, an averageof 1,500 to 1,800 studentscame to eat brunch at Ramseach weekend. Comparatively,lunch which is currentlythe most crowded meal at Topof Lenoir averages 2,200students per day.

To get the quick service we wanted at those times, wefelt that those numbers werehigh enough to open LenoirHall for breakfast and lunch,Freeman said.

Freeman said he has a

goal of 1,000 students eating brunch at each location.

The cost of the new weekend meals is expectedto be between $150,000and $180,000 for CarolinaDining Services. These costsmostly go toward labor with asmaller portion going towardadditional food purchases.The costs are covered by theprepaid meal plans studentshave purchased.

Freeman said he hopesthe new hours will cause anincrease in the number and thesize of meal plans purchased.He said similar increases hap -pened with the addition of

late-night meals at Rams Head

Dining Hall in 2010.The convenience of theadditional hours appealed tosenior Lisa Morris.

Its definitely more conve-nient for people on campus. IfI lived on campus, Id be reallyhappy about it, Morris said.

Sophomore Jennifer Jinhad mixed feelings about thenew hours.

I think its convenient,she said. It was a struggle asa freshman, but it was alsonice to see upperclassmen atRams. It was always nice tosee new faces.

UNC-system happenings Part of a weekly updateon UNC-system schools. Compiled by senior writer Hayley Fowler.

A&T protests Browns death New UNC-A chancellor named N.C. State merges degrees UNC-P students work at NASA Around 400 people

attended a peace-ful protest Mondayat N.C. Agriculturaland Technical StateUniversity over the Aug.9 shooting death of

18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo.N.C. A&T sophomore Keyanna Morrow,

who organized the event, said she wanted todraw attention to the injustice surroundingBrowns death.

Brown was unarmed when he was shotmultiple times by Officer Darren Wilsonduring what was allegedly a robbery. SeveralN.C. A&T students spoke during the event insupport of Brown.

Many attendees wore all black and heldsigns protesting the Ferguson police forcesactions. Officers have struggled to contain violent protests in the streets of the St. Louissuburb since Browns death.

The Missouri National Guard is beingdeployed to Ferguson to help contain theriots, state Gov. Jay Nixon said in a state -ment Monday.

UNC-Ashevilleappointed its seventhchancellor on Aug. 1.Mary K. Grant, presidentof the MassachusettsCollege of Liberal Arts, will start Jan. 5.

Grant succeeds former Chancellor AnnePonder, who announced her retirement inJanuary.

Grant will become one o f five femalechancellors in the UNC system, among themUNC-CH Chancellor Carol Folt.

Other female system leaders includeN.C. Central University Chancellor DebraSaunders-White and Appalachian StateUniversity Chancellor Sheri Noren Everts both of whom were installed and named,respectively, earlier this year.

In a statement, system President TomRoss praised Grants 25 years of experienceas a university leader.

(She brings) a solid reputation as anenergetic and creative problem solver anda passionate belief in the enduring value ofliberal arts education, Ross said.

Five N.C. StateUniversity foreign lan -guage bachelors degrees will soon be consolidat -ed into a single new pro-gram, foreign languageand literature.

The UNC-system Board of Governorsapproved the consolidation earlier thismonth. The move will affect students look-ing to major in German studies, Frenchand Spanish language and literature andFrench and Spanish language and litera-ture teacher education.

Students enrolled in these programs will be able to finish their degrees under the cur-rent structure.

The desire to be more efficient motivatedthe decision, said Ruth Gross, head of theforeign languages and literature department,in an email.

By merging into one major with concen-trations, we not only reduce the number ofmajors at N.C. State something that theadministration has been striving to do but we also become more flexible as a unit.

Four students andone professor fromUNC-Pembroke, agroup known as the Weightless Lumbees,attended NASAsReduced Gravity

Education Flight program in July.Rachel Smith, a chemistry pro fessor,

and team leader and recent graduate MollyMusselwhite joined three students at theJohnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, toconduct research on the effect of weightless -ness on human biological processes.

Smith said they conducted their experi-ments in the Weightless Wonder, an airplanethat simulates two times the gravitational pullon its way up and zero gravity on its way down.The flight lasts 30 seconds, and the grouprepeated it 30 times for the experiment.

Musselwhite said their group was thelast to experience the program because its been disc ontin ued.

Being weightless is indescribable, shesaid. The experience was definitely lifechanging.

The town of Chapel Hillis expanding its RosemaryImagined project to includeall of downtown, includingFranklin Street.

Part of the Chapel Hill2020 plan, DowntownImagined aims to unify andimprove the downtown area.

We were working off ofthe draft master plan calledthe Downtown DevelopmentFramework and Action Plan, which came out in 2010and looked at the entiredowntown area, said MegMcGurk, executive directorof the Chapel Hill DowntownPartnership.

Rosemary Street residentMichael Parker said his streethas been neglected for too long.

What I want to see is forRosemary Street to come tolife as a vibrant commercial,

living, playing area, Parkersaid.

McGurk said the expan -sion from Rosemary Street tothe rest of downtown was theplan from the beginning.

We started with focusingon Rosemary Street to getthe communitys input andideas, and now we have kindof pulled back the scope toencompass the rest of thedowntown, she said.

McGurk said having com-munity involvement since the beginning led to creative ideas.

What I would like to seeis for Rosemary to be a vital,good looking area where peo-ple are walking, where peopleare transacting business, where people live, Parkersaid. Make it into a vibrant,thriving area.

McGurk said the town islooking for student involve-ment in the planning process.

We would really like stu-

dent input, and we would be really happy to come tostudent organizational meet -ings or hold a special sessionfor students, she said. Itsan incredible opportunity forstudents to be involved withthe community process.

Linda Convissor, directorof local relations at UNC, saidthe downtown area is veryimportant to campus.

With all of the studenthousing being built arounddowntown, I think that isgoing to have a significantimpact on the downtown wesee in the next several years,Convissor said. A healthy and vibrant downtown is whathelps us have a healthy and vibrant campus.

McGurk said the finalplan will be presented to theChapel Hill Town Councillater this year and should beup for adoption early next year. But Parker said imple -

mentation is everything.The plan is only as suc-

cessful as it is implemented,he said. Its nice to have aplan, but if its not imple-mented, then its not reallyuseful, so the important thingnow is to make sure that thereare mechanisms put in placeso that things move for ward.

Parker said that thoughstudents might not see the work they put in come to lifeduring their time at UNC,their ideas would leave alegacy for future students.

Downtown is andshould continue to be aplace where students areand want to be, he said.The best way to m ake thathappen is for todays stu -dents to make their viewsknown so that tomorr owsstudents will have a place where t hey wan t to be.

Workshopopens consent

dialogue

By Jane WesterAssistant University Editor

Week of Welcome just go ta little more serious.

As students wander between Week of Welcomeevents to learn directions toclasses, attend interest meet-ings for clubs and find end-less options for free food, theycan now also examine theirunderstanding of consent sexual and otherwise on acollege campus.

Omega Phi Beta Sorority,Inc. will sponsor FromBlurred Lines to the GreenLight: Exploring Consent inthe Student Union Wednesdaynight.

Carla Salas, programmingdirector for Omega Phi Beta,said she hopes participants will learn what consent is, when its necessary and howto ask for it.

The purpose at the endof the program would be tohave a better understand -ing of consent and be morecomfortable talking aboutconsent, she said. On acollege campus specifically, but pretty much anywhereas well, consent is not some -thing thats always talkedabout.

If students are encour-aged to talk about consent,Salas hopes they will seeconsent as an importantconversation instead of amood-killer.

Kelli Raker, the sororitysadviser and a student violenceprevention coordinator forStudent Wellness, said in anemail that she wants studentsto see consent as commu -nication. Raker also works with One Act, which, unlike Wednesdays event, addressesconsent from a bystanderspoint of view.

CONSENT EVENTTime: 6:30 p.m. Wednesday

Location: FPG StudentUnion Room 3205

Info: bit.ly/UwW8rt

Salas said her sorority wasinspired by UNC alumna ArielEures work with the SadieNash Leadership Project,a program for high school women in New York City. Euredesigned a consent workshopfor project participants afterrealizing they rarely encoun-tered the topic otherwise.

If they had sexual educa -tion at all in their schools,consent was definitely not thekey that was talked about,Eure said.

Eure said becoming com -fortable discussing consent isimportant in all areas of col-lege students lives.

When youre going outon Franklin Street, when youre in class, when you rein your dorm room whatsconsent then? she said.

To ask for consent forsomething, to give consentfor something I thinkeveryone could benefit fromit, whether youve grownup talking about consent or whether this is the firs t time youve ever ha d a conv ersa-tion about the topic, shesaid.

Eure also saw a need forthe workshop based on herown experiences.

She suggested the ideato Omega Phi Beta, whichdecided to adapt it for UNCstudents.

I went to school not under-standing consent, she said.

I think what was reallyfrustrating ... that thingsthat were happening to me,around me, and I didnt havethat understanding of whatthat was and why it wasimportant.

PACE Academy will needits parents and students to beas invested as PACEs Boardof Directors in keeping theschool open for the foresee -able future.

Principal Rhonda Franklinsaid the school will continueto prioritize the varying needsof individual students but willalso have to focus on organi-zation and meeting academic benchmarks.

That will start with the first board meeting of the year onThursday at 6 p.m.

A lot of it revolves aroundimproving academics and what we can do to grow as aschool, with the overall men -tality of being proactive ver-sus reactive, Franklin said.

PACE is a charter schoolin Carrboro serving students who do not perform well in anormal school setting becauseof issues with concentration,cognition, socializing or otherproblems.

The State Board ofEducation declined torenew the schools charterin February but changed itsdecision in June, providedPACE meets certain stan -dards and guidelines in thenext three years before thenext charter renewal cycle.

Joel Medley, director of theOffice of Charter Schools, saidPACEs issues were three-fold.

Those looking to get per-

mits for their businessesor homes should have aneasier time after a renovatedDevelopment Services Deskopened at Chapel Hill TownHall Aug. 11.

In the past, the processfor obtaining permits andinspections for residents and business owners has been along one.

Before, it used to be thatthe departments were split upin different places, and there was a challenge for people who were trying to get their business open or to get a new building finished, Chapel HillMayor Mark Kleinschmidtsaid. They had a lot of run -

ning around to do. When the first floor of theTown Hall was damaged byfloodwater in the summerof 2013, the town had theopportunity to redesign, sothey combined the permitand inspections divisions.

Its a one-stop destina-tion that brings people fromdifferent parts of our townorganization together sothey can be more efficient,Kleinschmidt said.

Aaron Nelson, CEO of theChapel Hill-Carrboro Chamberof Commerce, said many busi -nesses working with the chamber had trouble with the oldsystem, and the chamber washappy to hear about the newlyconsolidated desk.

This community is veryexcited at the possibility of aone-stop shop, he said. Wethink it will be well received,and we look forward to hear -

The charter schoolsboard will launch anew strategic plan.

Divisions for permitsand inspections have joined in a new desk.

PACE works on compliance issues

Chapel Hill improvesdevelopment services

ing feedback.The Development Services

Desk will provide a centralportal for all developmentapplication submissions.It will take care of permits,inspections, plan review andcode enforcement.

There will also be a rev-enue office so that people can

pay for permits and taxes.Phil Mason, co-manager ofDevelopment Services, saidcombining the permit andinspections divisions shouldmake the process easier foreveryone.

Were always interested indoing things more efficiently,he said. Were always lookingto do improvements to ourdevelopment review process,and its something that weassess on a continual basis.

The components of theDevelopment Services Deskare grouped within thePlanning and SustainabilityDepartment, which alsoincludes long-range planning

and transportation divisions.In its first week of opera -

Were going to request a more active rolefrom the parents... Rhonda Franklin,PACE Academy principal

The first thing is legalcompliance, he said. Thesecond is performance, andthe third is financial integrity.The final thing is academicexcellence. When my officelooked at the information wehad, we noted deficiencies inthose areas.

Medley said the boardmust improve its oversight,including being more trans -parent for parents and stu-dents, meeting monthly withan attorney present, electinga treasurer and secretary, andkeeping regular minutes andthorough financial records.

These requirements arelisted in a settlement agree-ment between PACE and theBoard of Education, whichstipulates that PACE mustalso consistently provide theNorth Carolina Departmentof Public Instruction withdetails from its board meet-ings in order to keep its char-ter in three years.

Franklin said PACEs board particip ated in aretreat on Aug. 8, during which board members brain-stormed ideas for improve-ment in various areas. Oneof those areas is testing

accountability.As far as inside changes,

were going to start the school year out with pre-assessmentsof the students in the areas ofEnglish, writing and math, as

well as overall career assess -ments to get an idea of whatthey plan on doing once theygraduate, she said.

Franklin also said the board wo uld gather studentinput on incentives that would enc ourage st udentsto show up on standard-ized testing days. In thepast, PACE has not met therequirement that 95 percentof students take standard-ized tests.

We have plans for the beginning of the year already if students have goodattendance for 30 days, we will sponsor a trip to the state

fair, she said.Other changes the board

discussed include notify -ing parents automatically ofstudent absences via email,applying for grants to add

new vocational programsfor students and encourag-ing parents to attend boardmeetings.

PACE will host its par-ent orientation night on Wednesday at 6 p.m.

Were going to requesta more active role from theparents, like participating infundraisers and taking a moreactive role in the studentslearning, Franklin said.

Members of the PACEBoard of Directors did notrespond to repeated calls forcomment over several days.

[email protected]

This community isvery excited at the possibility of aone-stop shop. Aaron Nelson,Chamber of Commerce CEO

tion, Mason said the new sys-tem has been successful.Its a little early to tell, but I

think were all noticing that itsnice for people from differentdivisions that didnt work side by side before to be working incloser proximity and being ableto ask each other questionsand then look at applicationstogether, he said.

Nelson said he also hashigh hopes for the division.

We think that the town ofChapel Hill is becoming moreand more responsive to theneeds of the business com-munity, he said. We appreci-ate this customer-centeredapproach.

Its sure to be bloodthirsty.Thats what the directors

and producers at studenttheater group CompanyCarolina say about theirupcoming fall season. Afterputting on shows like LegallyBlonde and Youre A GoodMan, Charlie Brown last year, the group is going in aslightly different directionthis year with productions ofLittle Shop of Horrors andDracula.

Its very much a creepy vibe, said McKenzie Millican,one of Company Carolinasassociate producer and theproducer of Dracula.

Producing publicity direc-

tor Catherine Clark attributedthe trend to the applicationsthe organization received dur-ing the selection process forthe season, which consisted ofdirectors submitting applica-tions for the shows they desiredto produce and describing thefresh perspective theyd bring.

There is an applicationprocess for every semester, soanyone is welcome to submit, but were really excited to be working with them, espe -cially because applicationsare sometimes few and far in between, Clark said.

We dont usually do themedseasons, but we definitely thinkin terms of marketing, it will bean easy way to keep everythingtogether keep CompanyCarolina in students minds.

One of the selected direc-tors is sophomore JesseMcGuire, a Company Carolinanewcomer, a self-described vampire lover and the studentheading up Dracula.

Were going to revampDracula and take it out ofthis cliche, old story aboutsome dude with fangs, shesaid. Were going to make itclassy again. Its going to befang-tastic.

In addition to the shiftinto the ghoulish, CompanyCarolina is also working ondeveloping technical theater

workshops to draw studentsto the production process.

Obviously, were interestedin actors, but anyone inter -ested in any aspect of designor building or tech, were

willing to teach, Millicansaid. We want to get newfaces involved were reallyexcited about that.

Clark said Millicanapproached her and produc-ing artistic director Duri Longabout the project earlier inthe year and thought the idea would benefit the company.

Its McKenzies idea, so were just in the beginningstages of figuring it out, but alot of times, we get students who are interested in theaterand dont know where tostart, she said.

The workshops will teachstudents more about the world of technical theater,including lighting, sound,set design and set building. While the workshops will take

the Company Carolina name,they will also be open to stu -dents outside of the theatergroup in an effort to increaseinvolvement in the shows.

McGuire said the new toneand the open-arms attitude aregood changes for the company.

Company Carolina is real -ly pushing themselves, whichis the goal of theater toalways try new things and seehow it works, she said. AndCompany Carolina is jumpingin with both feet.

The Trio has also takeninspiration from organistBig John Patton, whose songSoul Woman is both a group

He said that today he triesconstantly to develop hiscraft and further his love ofthe genre.

I really like the sound of(jazz), he said.

You can listen to any -thing deeply and hear thetexture of the instruments.Especially with the organ,theres just so much goingon with the sound of it, younever get bored.

Carolyn Griggs, owner andperformance organizer atLooking Glass Cafe, said she booked the trio after beingapproached by Maiani aboutthe cafes weekly jazz andgame night.

We love to have differ-ent events in the evenings. We have such a nice outdoorspace that is well-suited for jazz in the garden, she said.

Football to hit the ground running

By Grace RaynorSports Editor

Dont get T.J. Logan wrong, Marquise Williams isathletic.

Williams, a redshirt junior,has the speed for the rungame and the arm for thepass game.

And Logan knows this. Sodoes Romar Morris. And sodoes Khris Francis. But nowits time to beat Williams.

A quick g lance do wnthe 2013 stat sheet for theNorth Carolina football

team shows that Williams,a quarterback, out-rushedevery single member of theteam last season, includingLogan, Morris and Francis all tailbacks.

While Williams barelyedged out Logan Williams with 536 and Logan with 533rushing yards the quarter - back rushed for more yardsthan Morris and Francis didcombined.

Last year, the 6-foot-2-inch, 220-pound Williams became t he first UNC quar-terback to rush for morethan 100 yards since DarianDurant in 2003, as well asthe first quarterback to leadUNC as a whole in rushingsince Gayle Bomar did it in1968.

Now the running backs areready to regain their throne.

Not a knock onMarquise, but thats some -thing that we have to beathim in, Logan said.

I feel like were going topush it and try to get thatstarted up early this year, soits going to be good.

The running back corehas added Elijah Hood tohelp them in their quest.Hood, a freshman out ofCharlotte, was named the2013 Associated Press NorthCarolina High School Playerof the Year.

Logan, Morris and Francisall said that Hood has seam -lessly transitioned into thecollege style of play and thathis sheer athleticism has

quickly separated him fromthe pack. The freshman iscapable of squatting at least600 pounds.

Of course Elijahs defi -nitely one of the stand-up

guys coming in this fresh-man class, Francis said.Hes just built really

solid 230 (pounds). Hesrunning kids over. Thats hisstyle, and everybodys enjoy-ing it. Im looking forwardto seeing him do that duringthe season.

But Morris suggested thatHoods strengths arent justlimited to his physical make-up and that he has also madeit a priority to really study hisposition.

Hes a smart kid, Morrissaid. Hes going to be a great

The tailbacks areready to take controlof the rushing game.

Not a knock on Marquise, but (rushing is)something that we have to beat him in. T.J. Logan,Sophomore tailback

young back for us. He grabsthe playbook, and he knowsit very well, so he has a goodgrasp already. I can see thegood in him.

Coach Larry Fedora saidthe group of running backshe has might collectively bethe most close-knit part of theteam. Hood joins them.

They eat together, theyspend their weekendstogether and they identifylike brothers united by onecommon goal to take over therunning game once again.

Again, youve got a bunchof guys competing, but theyreally have grown close,Fedora said. The chem -istry in that room is really,really neat to watch. Theycare about each other tre-mendously, and they pull foreach other, and they workextremely hard. Im reallypleased with the progresstheyve made.

Now its just a matter ofexecution.

Political groups planfor fall campaignsBy Paul Kushner

Staff Writer

UNCs on-campus politi-cal organizations are jumpinginto the fray as the falls mid-term campaigns get underway.

The contentious U.S.Senate race between incum- bent Kay Hagan, D-N.C., andN.C. Speaker of the HouseThom Tillis, R-Mecklenburg, will be the focus of stu -

dent activism efforts by theUniversitys Young Democratsand College Republicans.

We know Thom Tillis isa go-getter and this will be adefining election for NorthCarolina, said Kathryn Walker, president of CollegeRepublicans.

Wilson Parker, presidentof Young Democrats, saidthe group plans to canvass inneighborhoods throughoutChapel Hill and Durham forHagans campaign.

Higher education policyshould be a priority in thiselection, Parker said.

The number one thing

the state invested in histori -cally was higher education,he said. These investmentshave been under attack underSpeaker Tillis budgets.

Young Democrats will also be helping with voter regis -tration, encouraging studentsto vote in November.

Since 2011, there has beenan on-campus voting siteat Rams Head Dining Hall but this fall, that polling

place will move off campus,to North Carolina Hillel onCameron Avenue. The OrangeCounty Board of Electionsmade the decision in April,citing a need to make the sitemore accessible for handi-capped voters, though somemembers expressed concernedthat students would be dis-couraged from voting.

The Libertarian-leaninggroup on campus is plan-ning a different type ofstudent engagement in com-ing months. Alex Johnson,president of UNC Young Americans for Liberty, saidher organization disengages

from the political processand instead hosts forums forstudents to discuss the funda -mental principles of liberty.

Im hopeful that myinvolvement will open thedoors to students minds andgrant them the opportunity toactually learn what liberty andfreedom truly mean, she said.

In North Carolinas U.S.Senate race, a Libertarian can -didate is playing an increas-

ingly prominent role pizzadelivery man and Durhamresident Sean Haugh.

Jason Melehani, formerexecutive director of theLibertarian Party of NorthCarolina, said Libertarians playa key role in advocating againstfurther increases in the sizeand scope of the government.

Melehani also emphasizedthe significance of studentactivism and voting.

Government affects ourlives and our childrens lives and that means we shouldall care, he said.

NCs unemployment benets debt drops

By Sharon NunnAssistant State & National Editor

North Carolinas unem-ployment debt has dropped by 76 percent since 2010 to$597 million, according toGov. Pat McCrory.

McCrory said in a state-ment last week that the stateis now projected to pay offits debt to the federal gov -ernment by August 2015.Original estimates had thestate paying off its debt byNovember 2015.

North Carolina incurredits unemployment debt afterthe states funds for unem-ployment benefits ran out in

2009 during the economicrecession.The state ranked sixth

nationally for highest unem-ployment debt in August2011 before the federalstimulus package ran outand the state had to beginpaying interest on its loans. When McCrory took office inJanuary 2013, the debt stoodat $2.5 billion, McCrory saidin his statement.

The new debt numberscoincide with North Carolinasdeclining unemploymentrate, which dropped from 10.7percent in June 2010 to 6.4percent in June 2014.

In a May report, state

lawmakers said the lowerdebt can be attributed to a variety of factors, includingan increase in the unemploy -ment tax on businesses which had been cut beforethe recession. Changes to theunemployment benefit policyalso contributed to the lowerdebt.

Those changes consistedof major reductions to thestates benefit payments tothe unemployed, said PatrickConway, chair of the UNCeconomics department.

The N.C. General Assemblyin 2013 cut unemploymentinsurance compensation from

$535 per week to $350 per week.

The trust fund is beingrepaid, but its beingreduced by reducing thepayout to the unemployed,

Conway said.The states unemploymenttrust fund was in a surplus before the recession started,he said, but the state had to borrow from the federal gov -ernment to continue to payout the benefits.

Conway said the state leg-islature originally reduced theunemployment tax leviedon businesses as a contribu -tion to the states unemploy-ment trust fund because ofthe funds surplus at the time.

The trust fund was getting bigger and bigger, Conwaysaid. Having done so, theyleft the trust fund too small tohandle the recession.

Conway said the state hada high unemployment debt because of the pre-recessionunemployment tax cuts com -

bined with North Carolinasidentity as a state with strongmanufacturing and construc-tion industries.

Those were the two sec-tors that were hit relatively

hard in the recession, he said.We had a higher unemploy -ment shock than other statesNorth Carolina might becompared to.

McCrory in his statementpraised Dale Folwell, the N.C.Department of Commerceassistant secretary of employ-ment security and his teamfor lowering the debt.

Its not enough to pay itoff, Folwell said. We need to build a surplus and keep thetrust fund solvent.

To maintain the trust fund,Conway said, the state needsto find an unemployment pay-ment level that allows unem-ployed North Carolina resi-

dents to support their familiesuntil they can find work.

Gov. McCrory saidthe state will pay thedebt by August 2015.

UNC artists grow creative community Students use social

media to sell artworkto fellow students.

By Zhai Yun TanSenior Writer

Between playing mini golfin the library, going on thetraditional late-night Targetrun and attending FallFest,new students might feeloverwhelmed with Week of Welcome activities that coulddivert their attention from theCarolina Summer ReadingProgram.

The reading discussion is a voluntary Week of Welcomeevent that aims to exposefreshmen and transfer studentsto academic life at UNC.

It allows students to beintroduced to the academicexpectations of Carolina, said Alison Spannaus, associate

director of the New Studentand Carolina Parent Program.

Christina Townsend, a junior communication studies and journalism double major fromWaxhaw, creates works of art th at she sells to fellow students for their dorms or houses.

The Summer ReadingProgram aimed toincrease interest.

By Breanna KerrSenior Writer

Instead of cluttering dormi-tory room walls with cliche slo-gans and movie posters, senior Violette Zhu said asking stu -dent artists like herself to com-mission original work would be better for decorations.

Zhu is one of several studentartists who have turned theirlove of the arts into a business.She also juggles it with herclasswork from two majors.

If youre looking to deco -rate your wall, why not haveit be art from someone youknow and someone who would appreciate the encour-

agement? she said.Zhu creates watercolorpaintings and sells her cre-ations to students on Facebook.

Junior Christina Townsendhas also used social media

Summer reading on the mend

to market her creations. The journalism and communica-tions double major was sittingat home last summer when aPinterest obsession sparkedan artistic interest.

Townsend said she sawquotes online she wanted onher wall, but decided to makethem herself. She boughtpaints and canvases andcontinues to use the suppliesmore than a year later forher business, which she callsWallart by Christina.

Townsend has sold about 40paintings since she began mar -keting her business throughFacebook and Instagram lastsummer. Each painting costs$15 to $25 depending on thesize and intricacy of the paint-ing. She has even shipped herart to New York City as a gift.

I think whats special aboutmy paintings is that theyre

custom, she said. If thatquote hanging on the wall cangive someone a dose of dailyencouragement or inspiration,I think thats a good thing.

Townsend has made wall

art for students in Greeklife to decorate their houses,including members of DeltaSigma Theta Sorority, Inc.and alpha Kappa Delta Phisorority.

Some students, like juniorMaura Hartzman, cre -ated a Redbubble page todisplay their drawings andoil and watercolor paintings.Redbubble is an online hubsimilar to Etsy. Customers canrequest copies of her work to be printed as posters or onphone cases and pillows.

Im not an art major but Istill have stuff I want to share with the world, she said. Thissite is a really good avenue forpeople to get the word out.

Hartzman also does tattoodesigns for friends and cus-tomers. She said making hercustomers ideas a reality ismore important than money.

Some things are just bet-ter expressed through colorsthan words, she said.

Zhu took her art acrossthe world when she studiedabroad in Copenhagen and

Hong Kong last year.

My goal was to paint ordraw a picture of everywhereI had been in the past year,she said, adding that studyingabroad gave her the reflec -tive time she needed to take a

break and just draw.

Zhu said her art is not a business so much as it is a way to contribute to an artis-tic community on campus.

People consider art a lot ofthe times to be inaccessible,

she said. Its kind of a bougie

thing to be an art collector, butit doesnt have to be. Theres alot of talent on campus, so sup-port other artists and students.

Its about being an activelearning member of the com-munity here at Carolina.

Attendance at the discus-sions has fluctuated duringthe 16 years of the program.It peaked in the early 2000s when the program was man-

datory, but in 2002, a con-troversial book choice causedattendance to plunge. Thechosen book, Michael SellsApproaching the Quran,drew criticism in the after -math of the 9/11 attacks.

It was a book trying tohelp Americans understandthe Islamic religion, saidJohn McGowan, professorof English and comparativeliterature. But there was ahuge outcry in the state ofNorth Carolina about how we were indoctrinating people by making them read a bookabout the Quran.

A lawsuit was filed againstthe school and the program

was changed from mandatoryto voluntary attendance.

We have to count on thestudents being interestedenough to want to have theexperience, McGowan said.
