Emil Kang has built a lot during the last fiveyears an internationally renowned perform-ing arts series, a bustling artistic developmentoffice, his own job but he still feels like he
wants to do more.I want the arts to be as big and as impor-
tant as basketball on this campus, said Kang,the Universitys executive director for the arts.I see a kind of intramural arts organization,
where if a student wants to paint, or sign upfor music lessons or sculpt, t hey can.
Kang dreams big. Yet in the five and a halfyears since former Chancellor James Moesercreated the office of the executive director forthe arts, his expansive vision for the arts at theUniversity has largely succeeded.
The impact has been enormous, Moesersaid. Moesers administration selected Kangas Carolinas artistic champion when an exten-sive renovation of Memorial Hall came to aclose in late 2004, prompting a campus-wide
audit of the arts.It was decided that the artistic community
needed greater coordination and visibility,Moeser said.
A venue is only a space, he said. Its whatgoes on in that space that matters.
That was left up to Kang, who, fresh off asuccessful stint as the president and executivedirector of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, washired in 2004 as a result of a national search.
It was never a job Kang thought he wanted.My goal had been to become the president
of the New York Philharmonic, Kang said.But at 35, I was burnt out.
Still, Kang brought his connections fromhis previous career to his new position in
Chapel Hill, creating the first season ofCarolina Performing Arts featuring DetroitSymphony regulars like Leonard Slatkin andIthzak Perlman in less than four months.
We knew then we had made the rightchoice, Moeser said. Emil did in four months
what normally takes 12.From the beginning, Kang was focused on
making the University a true bright spot onthe North American artistic circuit, he said.
It was always important to make theUniversity a destination, and not just a stop,Kang said.
Kang continued to use his positive person-al relationships with the larger internationalartistic community to boost the caliber of theannual performance series, bringing a diversemix of globally renowned artists and innova-tive musical pairings.
He launched ambitious commission pro-grams, in which original works sponsored byhis office premiered on the Memorial Hall
stage.Its really important to have a place where
artists want to come and perform, saidMichelle Bordner, director of artist relationsfor Carolina Performing Arts. The season has
become what it is today because of Emils posi-tive relationships with artists.
But Kangs relationships extend beyond thestage to encompass the larger student and fac-ulty population on campus, just as his position
includes so much more than the yearly seriesat Memorial Hall.
Both directly and indirectly, a big partof Emils vision is to connect with students,said Reed Colver, director of campus and com-munity engagement for Carolina Performing
Arts.Kang teaches a first year seminar on
music and performance with Moeser, andhe serves as a sort of informal adviser fordozens of students.
Theres just this immense spirit of generos-ity that Emil has, said Amy Zhang, who grad-uated in 2009 and is now in an arts graduate

D uke Univers i ty s Col l egeRepublicans are determined to putlast years discrimination allegations
against the clubbehind them andstart afresh.
But the for-mer chairman ofthe organization,Justin Robinette,
who said in Aprilhe was impeached
by the clubs exec-utive board for hissexual orienta-tion, is planningto take furtheraction against theclub.
Members say he was impeached
for poor leadership, fixing electionsand neglecting to coordinate events
with UNCs chapter, among otherreasons all of which Robinettesays are false.
All that were really asking for isa declaratory judgement, Robinettesaid. The reasons that they gave
were false, and something was takenfrom me that I worked hard for.
Certain events during the sum-mer, such as the discovery of anti-gayand anti-Robinette graffiti on DukesEast Campus and anonymous deaththreats received by Robinette and hissupporters, have prompted anoth-er complaint against the CollegeRepublicans, Robinette said.
He has joined with eight otherplaintiffs to file another case in thestudent judiciary against the club.During the last trial in April, the judi-ciary did not find sufficient evidenceto rule that the organization had dis-
criminated against Robinette.I think we stand a much better
shot, said Cliff Satell, former mem-ber of the College Republicans andone of the plaintiffs. We literally
had less than 24 hours to preparelast time.The student judiciary will be
reviewing the new case on Aug. 28and deciding whether or not they
want to take it up again, said MattStraus, chief justice of the student
judiciary.College Republicans chairman
Carter Boyle said that he does notthink the judiciary will take up thecase and that he does not considerhis club to be in any trouble.
The best way to steer through themurky water is to keep focused on
what our organizations ideals are,Boyle said.
Robinette said he is also seek-ing to file a case against the CollegeRepublicans in civil court on chargesof slander or civil conversion, whichis wrongfully taking something away

Adapting to a comprehensive reviewand working under the watchful eyes of theUniversity and Board of Trustees, the Greeksystem looks to remain autonomous.
The Interfraternity Council, fraternitiesstudent-led governance organization, has insti-tuted two sharp changes to the fall rush recruit-ment process moving it to the beginning ofthe school year and making it alcohol-free.
Greek leaders said they hope these changeswill satisfy the University and Board of Trustees,which is conducting a study examining the ben-efits of deferring rush to the spring semester or
beyond ideas that have been met with oppo-sition from fraternities.
If one fraternity messes up in rush thissemester, it messes it up for everyone, saidDavis Willingham, president of the UNC chap-ter of Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity.
Following the death of DKE president
Courtland Smith last fall, the University beganan investigation into the Greek system that led tothe hiring of a special adviser UNC alumnusand fraternity member Jordan Whichard toinvestigate and present a report to the board.
Whichard presented his report to the boardin the spring.
Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs WinstonCrisp said the University will look at the effective-ness of the IFCs changes after the 14-day rushperiod spanning from Aug. 20 to Sept. 2 isfinished, and then decide if action is needed.

The NorthCarolina ath-letic depart-ment knew asearly as June21 that the
NCAA was conducting a review ofpossible rules violations three
weeks before investigators arrivedon campus.
Twenty-four days after thefirst documented correspondence
between UNC and the NCAAregarding the investigation, news
broke of an ongoing review oncampus, according to e-mailrecords.
Athletic director Dick Baddoursaid his staff made no attempt tohide the review, but also did nothave a discussion on whether ornot to make an announcement tothe public.
The assumption probablywould have been that the publicwould know that, Baddour said.We didnt expect to hide it, andour anticipation was that once
we started the investigation, thatthe public would be aware of it.So I dont know that we actuallydiscussed that we would make anannouncement.
In an e-mail dated June 21 sentto Amy Herman, assistant athleticdirector for compliance, NCAAinvestigator Chance Miller saidhe and Rachel Newman-Baker,director of agent, gambling andamateurism activities, would beon campus July 12 to interviewstudent athletes.
Defensive tackle Marvin Austinand wide receiver Greg Little, bothseniors, were interviewed by inves-tigators.
UNC has not confirmed theinvestigation centers on the twoplayers in order to protect theintegrity of the review, but headcoach Butch Davis has acknowl-edged that a decision has yet to
be reached on their status for theLSU game on Sept. 4.
Three days after the e-mail,UNC enlisted former NCAAinvestigator Rick Evrard toassist the school and counsel innot leaving any stone unturned,Baddour said. Evrard has beento Chapel Hill once since beingcontacted and Kevin Best, direc-tor of football communications,said his fees have been less than$1,000.
These can be very compli-cated situations, Baddour said.Its obvious that weve not
been through anything like this

When Neil Pedersen moved from Ohioto Chapel Hill more than 20 years ago,he never expected to leave his job as thelongest-serving superintendent in theschool districts history.
Pedersen, now 60, came to ChapelHill-Carrboro City Schools in 1987 as an
assistant superintendent. This month, heannounced his plans to retire after the2010-11 school year.
Pedersen said he doesnt have anyother jobs lined up. Hes just ready for a
break from the daily grind.This has been a 24-7 job with lots of
late nights, he said. Id like to disruptmy routine and change the type of workIm doing.
Pedersen and his wife Deborah have
two children in their thirties. They bothlive in California, and Pedersen said the
job hasnt given them much vacationtime to visit their family. This year, thePedersens will get to visit them overThanksgiving break.
Deborah said she will continue to workas the chief learn-and-earn officer forN.C. Virtual Public School, a state pro-
gram that allows students to take classesonline. She said that while she isnt readyto retire, she is happy her husband canget away from the stress that accompa-nies his job.
I want him to get into his own rhythmwhen he doesnt have to get up and puton his suit and tie everyday, she said.
School board chairman Mike Kelleysaid the search for a new superintendentis in progress.
The district plans to hire a firm to findPedersens replacement, who Kelley said
should have leadership skills and theability to analyze data.
District officials hope to have a firmpicked by the end of October. A replace-ment should be chosen within six monthsof the firm being hired.
During his term, Pedersen saw morethan half of the systems 17 schools con-structed and established the first nation-

Eleven months of meetings haveleft members of the UNC School ofDentistrys dean search commit-tee ridden with questions and
behind schedule.In May, the committees top-
choice, University of Alabama atBirmingham School of Dentistryprofessor Gregg Gilbert, rejectedan offer to replace John Williams asUNCs next dentistry school dean.
After the negotiations fell through,committee members were left ques-
tioning when the search would end.Former dean John Stamm has
served as the schools interim dean
since May 25.It wasnt what I was planningon doing this summer. I was dis-appointed the process hadnt pro-duced a new dean, said BarbaraRimer, the committees chairwom-an and dean of the UNC GillingsSchool of Global Public Health.
Rimer said Gilbert, the chairmanof the department of diagnostic ser-
vices at the UAB School of Dentistry,wore all the hats the committee was
looking for in its search.As construction continues on the
schools new research building onSouth Columbia Street, Rimer saidthe committee was searching for acandidate who combined researchexpertise with the fundraising savvyof a politician. She added that thenext dean will also need the cha-risma to build a positive relation-
ship with the new dentistry schoolat East Carolina University and toaddress the scarcity of dentists insome parts of the state.

More than six months into liti-gation, the parents of a deceasedlocal high school student droppedtheir lawsuit against the countyand are continuing mediation witha former paramedic.
Malinda and David Fraley filed avoluntary dismissal against OrangeCounty and county emergency
medical services July 29.However, their wrongful death
action against former OrangeCounty Emergency Services para-medic James Griffin as an individ-ual is still intact.
The Fraleys filed a complaintagainst the three parties in lateJanuary after their son, Atlas, diedin his home after a football scrim-mage on Aug. 12, 2008.
Fraley, a Chapel Hill HighSchool student, complained ofmuscle cramps and a headache atthe scrimmage. After returning toan empty house, Fraley called 911at about 1:45 p.m. to request intra-
venous fluids to treat what he saidwas dehydration.
Griffin, who responded toFral ey s ca l l ,a d v i s e d t h e
17-year-old toh y d r a t e a n d
work out hismuscle crampsafter allowingFraley to signhis own releasedespite his statusas a minor.
When Fraleysparents arrivedhome less thanfive hours later,they found their son dead on thefloor, surrounded by bottles of
water and Gatorade.Griffin resigned 15 days later.Fraleys autopsy took more than
seven months for the states chiefmedical examiner John Butts tocomplete. In the autopsys sum-mary, Butts wrote that there is
no evidence that his death wasdue to other than natural causes,
but those causes remained unde-termined.
Donald Strickland, the Fraleysattorney, said the family decided todrop its case against the county dueto a sovereign immunity defensestrategy.
Sovereign immunity is a lawdating back to the 1870s that saysa state or county cannot be suedunless it is covered by an insurancepolicy or there is a specific statutethat allows litigation.
The reason for that is kind ofobvious if you think about it, saidChuck Kitchen, a sovereign immu-nity specialist and a lawyer at StarkLaw Group.
If (the county) got a large judge-ment against them, they would be
broke. They could not provide ser-vices anymore.
Griffin was originally sued bothas an individual and in his capac-ity as a county paramedic, meaningthe Fraleys could have been award-ed damages from both Griffin him-self and Orange County.
While the county does have aninsurance policy, Strickland saidthe coverage does not extend tocases in which sovereign immunityis a defense. Counties are usuallyprotected from tort actions likenegligence.
The policy covers Griffin, so

Another year of decreased fund-ing from the state has forced theUNC-system Board of Governorsto shift its priorities.
The board will now focus onefficiency and making the most ofalready-available resources ratherthan starting new initiatives fromscratch, said Hannah Gage, chair-
woman of the board, at the Aug. 13meeting.
In a time of diminishingresources, we also have to show thelegislature that their investment inus is working by producing bettergraduation and retention rates,Gage stated in an e-mail.
I hope this will be the year thatwe make a big philosophical shift
to performance funding ratherthan enrollment growth funding,
but there are still some hurdleswith that one, she said.
The shift will be centered aroundutilizing community colleges asfeeders for trans-fer students andmaking improve-ments to onlinea n d d i s t a n c eeducation, Gagesaid.
UNC-systemP r e s i d e n tErskine Bowlessaid using thosetwo avenues willhelp accommo-date the 84,000students that areexpected to be enrolled system-
wide in the next decade.
Continuing solely with the tra-ditional higher education model
would not be sustainable as univer-sities deal with deep budget cuts,
Bowles said.At a time when the state is
starved for resources, its how wefit the numbers in the budget wesee, he said.
He said the board will push uni-versities to offer more degree pro-grams and classes online.
There will be a huge invest-ment in distance education, hesaid. We want to get way ahead ofthe curve.
Board members also have themajor task of replacing Bowles,
who announced his resignationFeb. 12. The search will be a toppriority for board members in thefall semester, but they will also
begin planning for a tighter budgetfor next year.
One of the first steps will bereviewing the tuition plan that was
drafted under Bowles leadershipin 2006. The plan was intended
to make it more flexible for uni-versities so that they can increasetuition in years of below-averagestate funding, Gage said.
Members are looking at a slewof possibilities to balance the uni-
versities growing need for revenuewith keeping tuition affordable forstudents.
I want it done before Erskineleaves, Gage said. Its too impor-tant a policy to leave out there.

The prosecution of a UNC stu-dent charged in April with posses-sion of a weapon on school prop-erty was deferred June 28, accord-ing to the Orange County districtattorneys office.
Bill Odette, 20, of Boston, wasescorted out of the Student Union
by two UNC Department of PublicSafety officers during the April 26speech of former U.S. Rep. TomTancredo after being spotted witha knife in his pocket, according tothe police report.
Odette said he was not informedof the conditions surrounding thedeferral agreement. Such agree-ments often state that charges will
be dismissed if there is no other
charge or conviction within a cer-tain amount of time.Odette added that authorities
returned his confiscated 8-inchknife in July.
After authorities took his fold-ing pocket knife that night, Odettesaid he was taken to a mobile com-mand center behind Davis Library,
where he received a citation andwas released.
DPS spokesman Randy Youngsaid at the time that Odette didnot seem to be aware of the law andhad no malicious intent.

Orange County has been trying tosell more than $1.6 million in surplusproperty since May, but only two offive properties have received bids one of which is below the minimumproperty value set by the county.
A complex sale process and addi-tional restrictions on historic build-ings have made it an especially longprocess, county officials said.
We have no latitude on the bidprocess in general, said PamelaJones, the countys director of assetmanagement and purchasing ser-
vices. Its the law. Thats the reasonwe do it.
The county has three propertiesin Hillsborough, one in Chapel Hilland one in Mebane for sale. Sellingthe properties could bring in $1.6million to the county budget.
A property at 118 N. ChurtonSt. in Hillsborough received a bidat $180,028.40, roughly $50,000more than the minimum value.
That bid will be considered Sept.7 at a county commissioners meet-ing.
A former ABC store in Mebanereceived a bid of $3,500, but itsminimum value is set at $5,000.
Because this property is verysmall and lacks a lot of basic fea-tures such as septic service, it is theonly property that was not profes-sionally appraised.
Jones said the county staff willrecommend that the board seri-ously consider the bid.
The properties will likely gothrough an upset bid process,County Manager Frank Clifton said.In an upset bid process, a minimum
bid is set, after which private buyerscan place bids. Once a reasonable
bid is submitted, the board consid-ers beginning an auction.
The county wants to sell theproperties, but its not a fire sale.
Were not going to sell them cheap,he said.
Clifton said the county might
stop the bidding if it needs theproperties.
Some of the properties had pre-viously received bids, Jones said,but the board stopped the biddingand ordered historical preservationeasements on two properties onChurton Street on Nov. 5, 2009, forfear of demolition. This restartedthe sale process.
Cathleen Turner, director ofthe Piedmont regional office ofPreservation North Carolina, saidshe doesnt think the preservationeasements should slow the sale ofthe properties.
At the end of the day, peoplewho are interested in those build-ings are going to be interested inthose features protected by theeasement, she said. These areimportant buildings. The rightowner will come along.
Jones said the town only per-forms very basic maintenance, so
while it is costing the town basicutilities, any cost is immaterial.

Willie Gilchrist,ECSU ChanCEllor

UNC is looking to the east to
give its pharmacy students moreopportunities.
The Universitys EshelmanSchool of Pharmacy is in the earlystages of planning a joint phar-macy degree with the NationalUniversity of Singapore. The spe-cifics of the program are unknown,as administrators are still assess-ing the pros and cons of the part-nership.
UNC Chancellor Holden Thorpand the NUS President Tan ChorhChuan have endorsed a letter ofintent, but the joint degree likely
will not be launched until 2013 or2014, pharmacy school Dean BobBlouin said.
Information about the partner-ship has also been shared with theUNC-system Board of Governors,he said.
The board wanted more details
to make sure the new partnershipwould not detract from other in-state partnerships, said Jim Deal,chairman of the boards education-al planning, policies and programscommittee.
The planning for the joint degreeprogram will proceed dependingon complete financial sponsorship
by NUS.Establishing a footprint in Asia
will yield dividends for the stateeconomy in many ways, Blouinsaid.
Many businesses and univer-sities are trying to figure out howto view themselves in the flat
world, he said. The UNC brandin Singapore will be powerful andhelpful.
There are already several
pharmaceutical companies like
GlaxoSmithKline with loca-tions in both North Carolina andSingapore, he said.
But UNC will only continuewith the planning process if thereis no brain or resource drain for thestate, Blouin said.
He also said UNC has been
carefully tracking the partnershipbetween Duke University Schoolof Medicine and NUS as a point ofreference.
For Duke, the main reasonwas to develop a global presencein research and medical educa-tion and to develop and innovatemedical education, said RangaKrishnan, dean of the Duke-NUSprogram.
Blouin said the partnership withNUS will not affect the in-stateaccreditation partnerships betweenUNC and Elizabeth City State
University and UNC-Asheville.ECSU does not have its own
pharmacy school because it wouldnot make sense for the state to payfor its development when UNC hassuch a reputable school, said ECSUChancellor Willie Gilchrist.
However, UNCs pharmacy
school is able to accredit studentsat ECSU in the hope that morepharmacists will be working inthe northeastern part of the state,
where there is great demand, hesaid.
Many youngsters tend to stayin the areas they are degreed in,he said.
UNCs partnerships al lowdemands for pharmacists to be metacross the state, Blouin said.

Despite a recent drop in aprominent college ranking report,University officials said they remain
confident in UNCs status as one ofthe nations top schools.
In its annual ranking of nationaluniversities released Aug. 17, U.S.News & World Report listed UNCas the 30th best school in the coun-try a drop of two spots from last
year. UNC had previously tied twoprivate schools, Tufts University and
Wake Forest University, at 28th.But for the 10th consecutive
year, UNC maintained the rankingthat officials said they value themost: a top-five ranking amongpublic universities.
Overall this is very reassuring,said Executive Associate ProvostRon Strauss. There is no causefor concern, but actually a cause forpride, since we stand at the top ofthe nations public universities.
Overall, the University of
CaliforniaBerkeley ranked 22nd,the University of California--Los
Angeles, Wake Forest Universityand the University of Virginia tied at25th and the University of Michigan--Ann Arbor ranked 29th.
All five public schools in the top30 spots went down in the overallranking, though their numericalscores were identical to last years.UNCs score remained at 70 on ascale of 100.
That illustrates precisely whyI again would caution you notread too much into these results,
Chancellor Holden Thorp wroteMonday in an e-mail to the Boardof Trustees. Thorp added that therankings are largely arbitrary, not-
ing how the same 30 schools havetraded spots for the past six years.
Strauss said he wouldnt mindseeing a higher score in the future,
but that some of the categories ofconsideration naturally favor pri-
vate schools, such as alumni dona-tions and admissions selectivity.
Schools are ranked in the reportby categories ranging from gradu-ation rates and freshman retentionto the rate of alumni giving.
For the first time, the magazineused the ratings of high school guid-ance counselors to judge schools.
Among public schools, UNC tiedfor second with Georgia Instituteof Technology and 22nd overall.
Stephen Farmer, the associateprovost and director of undergradu-ate admissions, said he didnt thinkthe drop would affect prospective
applicants interest in UNC.People certainly pay attention to
ratings, but they dont make deci-sions for anyone, he said. Miranda
Wodarski, a freshman from Cary,said she strongly considered theranks of the schools she applied to,
but only as a small piece in a largerpuzzle.
Two spots in the whole nation isnot a big factor, she said. If it were20 spots, that would be weird.

Sylvia Buchholz and Seymoure
Freed walked into Trilussa LaTrattoria in search of a special dishto celebrate Buchholzs birthday:paella.
After searching the menu, theywere disappointed to find that theEuropean seafood dish was notoffered. But no sooner had theyexpressed their dismay than twospecially made dishes appeared infront of them, courtesy of head chefGiovanni Caligari.
We were awfully impressed,Buchholz said. A restaurant likethis is such a pleasure.
Caligari opened Trilussa in 1994,but becoming a cook and owner ofa gourmet restaurant at 401 WestFranklin Street was not always hisfirst priority.
Im a masters degree in archi-tecture in Rome, said Caligari,
who was born in Florence, Italy.I tried in New York to do engi-neering, but it didnt work forme.
Caligari began a constructioncompany in New York that spe-cialized in marble and stone, butit, too, was unsuccessful.
Things started looking up when
a friend offered Caligari some openspace in a building he bought.
He says, Why dont you open
some Italian restaurant? Caligarisaid. He pushed me, and I startfrom there.
Caligari began opening restau-rants throughout New York City inGreenwich Village, Brooklyn andManhattan, and Queens.
I become cook because I haveno choice, Caligari said. I learnfrom losing.
After moving to Chapel Hill andgetting married, Caligari openedTrilussa La Trattoria, a restaurantserving Southern Italian-stylefood.
Caligari works as the head chefand cooks everything himself,
with occasional helpers to cut thesalad.
I like to cook because I am theowner and the chef, and I can do
whatever I want, he said. I want
to cook in my style. The chef makesthe restaurant.Morgan Ezzell, a UNC junior,
has worked for Caligari for threeweeks and said the chef keeps thestaff on their toes.
Its crazy but fun, she said. Hecooks dinner for us every night. Myfavorite dish is his Caesar salad.
Caligari said he uses only freshingredients, including vegetablesand herbs he grows in his owngarden.
Everything is fresh so you canfeel the fresh, he said. I also deal
only with Italian products.Caligari said that throughTrilussa, he hopes to bring thecooking style of his home countryto his Chapel Hill patrons.
Every year I do Christmas forDean Smiths family and birthday,he said. I make special like in Italy.Like a homemade homemade.
Caligari said he prepares 40 dif-ferent items for the dinners and ittakes two days to prep.
I do it for him, he said.Now cooking has become a sig-
nificant part of Caligaris life, onethat he shares with his wife, his twosons who work at Trilussa and hiscustomers.
People see Italian restaurant aspizza and pasta, he said. Its not
just that.I want it to be homemade cook-
ing for the family.But Caligari said he wont both-

Chapel Hill police last yearcracked down on underage drink-ing at the beginning of the fallsemester, resulting in severalalcohol-related charges againststudents.
Several of these cases were dis-missed when it was determinedthat police overstepped their
bounds, violating students FourthAmendment rights.
Dorothy Bernholz is the direc-tor of Student Legal Services, anindependent organization thatprovides students with free legalconsultation financed by studentfees. She sat down with The DailyTar Heel to answer questions aboutstudents rights.
Q: Do you think police mightcrack down as they did last year?
A: Yes. I think its very likelythat there will be a crackdown atthe beginning of school because thepolice are interested in sending amessage. I dont know of any spe-cific plans but they do have a spe-cial task force that targets alcoholand I dont see that going away inthe near future.
Q: Why is it police sometimesseem prone to overstepping their
bounds as far as students rights areconcerned?
A: In the heat of the momentwhen youve got a room full of 40kids, perhaps under the influenceof alcohol, things get very confused.
And since the law is constantlychanging, it depends on how wellthey are trained.
Q: If a student is put in a positioninvolving underage drinking andthey believe their rights have been
violated, what should they do?
A: They should understandthat they have an absolute rightnot to give up any evidence. Sothey should be very polite andthey should refuse to respond toquestions. You should never agreeto take a hand-held breathalyzer;this excludes driving a car. You areunder no legal obligation to do so.If you take that breathalyzer and
blow even .00 whatever, youregoing to be charged with under-age possession.
Q: Why is the phrase am I freeto go so important?
A: Because at that point it willmake it so that its not a voluntaryencounter and it will invoke yourFourth Amendment protections.If you voluntarily give a policeofficer evidence of the crime ina conversation then you donthave the protection of the Fourth
Amendment. But if a reasonable
person didnt feel free to termi-nate that encounter, then theofficer should have advised youof your rights.
Q:How much money is a studentlooking to pay if cited for underagedrinking?
A: Its going to be a $500 beer.
Q:With a lawyer?
A: If you retain a lawyer, itshould be for the purpose of real-ly doing a challenge to the search,and that can be very, very expen-
sive $1,500 probably of justlawyer fees.
Q: Can students get a firstoffense removed?
A: The practice has changedwith respect to deferred prosecu-tion and community service. Afterdoing deferred prosecution, the stu-dent then comes to Student LegalServices, and we expunge theircriminal record. All that does isdelete their criminal record from thecourt system records. But the infor-mations already on the Internet. Soits impossible to capture that infor-mation and take it back.
Q:Where on the Internet wouldyou find that information?
A: Any of these search engines.The administrative office of thecourts sells that information.Theres no judge in the world that
will give us an order to the Internet,and even if they would, where do wesend it?
Q: How does a second offensechange things assuming you get adeferred prosecution?
A: Its going to begin to build aprofile for some future employerthat you might have a drinkingproblem.

uNC-tV filmnr crin
by melvin bAckmAn
aSSiStant univerSity editor
M e m b e r s o f t h e U N CSchool of Journalism and MassCommunication faculty weighedin last month on a dispute over acontroversial three-part documen-tary by UNC-TV.
The documentary alleged envi-ronmental and personal safety-related misconduct by Alcoa, aleading aluminum manufacturer.
After attracting significant atten-tion, the state-funded media outletrequested that the school review thematerial.
The decision to review the doc-umentary was unprecedented for
both the station and the school,officials from both parties said.
While a team of professorsassembled by the journalism school
were still working on the reportevaluating the film, officials fromUNC-TV asked the team to post-pone the review.
Professor Leroy Towns, a mem-ber of the three-person committeethat wrote the report, said the teamobliged to that request.
Alcoa later obtained the incom-plete report through a publicrecords request.
The company then released thedraft composed by UNC professors
Andy Bechtel, Jim Hefner and Towns.After questioning whether the docu-mentary should have been aired, theteam issued a collective no.
The documentary was producedby UNC-TV reporter Eszter Vajdaand focused on Alcoas presence onthe Yadkin River.
The documentary came underscrutiny when other media outletsreported that Vajda received helpfrom her friend, researcher MartinSansone, who received $3,000 fromthe N.C. Water Rights Committee,an organization opposed to Alcoascontinued presence on the YadkinRiver. The report criticized thistransaction, among other parts ofthe documentarys production.
Thats not journalism. Thats whyyou cant even call it a documentary,said Kevin Lowery, an Alcoa spokes-
man, of UNC-TVs film.The report also questioned the
editorial process, citing the sta-tions permission for the reporterto control the final work product.
This was a real aberration in anumber of ways, Volstad said.
Soon after news broke of thesituation, Vajda was released fromUNC-TV, said Gail Zimmermann,the stations associate general man-ager. Steve Volstad, communicationsdirector for UNC-TV, declined tocomment on whether the two wererelated.
Volstad said the station request-ed a copy of thed r a f t r e p o r tthat was sent to
Alcoa. He addedthat the Alcoadraft was thefirst the stationhad seen of thereport.

Assemblys sec-ond senate judi-ciary committee before it was aired.State legislators requested thatUNC-TV grant the reporter morecontrol after rumors emerged thatUNC-TV was working to suppressthe story, said Volstad, who addedthat those rumors were untrue.
According to a WUNC blogpost, N.C. Sen. Fletcher Hartsell,R-Cabarrus, subpoenaed the doc-umentary before its debut. Somemembers of the state governmentand Alcoa currently have a disputeover control of the Yadkin Riverselectrical production capabilities.
Hartsell could not be reachedfor comment.
UNC-TV receives funding fromthe state, and the report criticizesthe station for not standing up tothe legislators despite their holdingthe purse strings.
It is our view that UNC-TVmanagement should have not
wavered in light of such criticism;should have maintained editorialcontrol and reported the story, thereport read.

8/9/2019 The Daily Tar Heel for August 24, 2010

Prformin r ri rlivrGreek leaders and Crisp said the
goal of the rush changes was to mini-mize the potential for academic andalcohol-related problems for frater-nity members and students inter-ested in rushing.
In the past, the first few weekshavent been regulated. Its kindof a free-for-all, Willingham said.
And thats not good for anyone.Crisp said he hoped the changes
would also eliminate any pressurefraternities feel to conduct under-ground rush.
Before the changes, fraternityleaders said houses were permit-ted to have alcohol in the house but
were prohibited from supplying
it to recruits. This year, they saidalcohol is not allowed to be presentin the house during rush.
Willingham said the new rushperiod will avoid giving freshmenthe perception that fraternity hous-es are just sources of free alcohol.
It was setting a bad precedent.Alcohol was plentiful in a lot ofplaces, he said.
IFC President Tucker Piner saidthe earlier rush will likely end the
pledging process before midtermexams, which might improve fra-ternity members grades.
Greek leaders said an incident-free rush is crucial in light of the
boards consideration of deferringrush.
They like for all the problemsto go away on their own, and thats
what were trying to do as well,Piner said.
Willingham said none of thechapter presidents support a policyof deferred rush because it wouldeliminate the immediate supportgroup the Greek system gives mem-
bers from the beginning of the year.Piner and Willingham said some
members of the Greek system areupset about the earlier rush this
year.
A lot of guys want to do whatthey want to do. They dont wantto abide by these new rush rules,
Willingham said.What Ive said to them is, How
has that worked for us in the past?

from a person.Im considering all options
and contemplating my next step,Robinette said.
The American Civil LibertiesUnion is in the process of reviewingRobinettes case to see whether ornot the organization will be assist-ing him if he chooses to go ahead
with the civil charges.Despite the serious allegations
against the College Republicans,Duke University administratorshave attempted to stay out of theconflict.
They want the student judiciaryto resolve the issue to maintain the
self-governing tradition of the uni-versity, Robinette said.
But many believe that the uni-versity should be more involved.
Bridget Gomez, a junior atDuke, created a Facebook group Petition to Duke Universityto Take Action Against the DCR.The group had 327 members yes-terday.
The universitys Vice Presidentfor Student Affairs, Larry Moneta,declined to comment on Dukes plansin dealing with the allegations.
Its a new year and Im lookingforward to new students and newopportunities. I dont really haveanything to add, Moneta wrote inan e-mail.
Satell said the university is not
getting involved because administra-tors are trying to minimize the nega-tive publicity that Duke has receivedas a result of the recent events.
Duke University police are stillinvestigating the vandalism onEast Campus. They could not bereached for comment.
Robinette said he hopes hiscomplaint against the CollegeRepublicans will set an examplefor future students who face dis-crimination.
Its not what happens to you,he said. Its what you do about it.Thats what my thought processhas been.

Many of Kangs informal web ofmentees now work for him in theoffice of the executive director forthe arts.
I always said I wanted to be Emilwhen I grew up, and now here I
am, said Sean McKeithan, Carolina
Performing Arts marketing andcommunications coordinator and agraduate of the class of 2009.
Of the dozen or so members ofKangs staff, at least five are recentUNC alumni.
Being around students is some-thing that really inspires him,Bordner said.
Indeed, Kang says his larger vision is drawing out the artis-tic side of everyone, be it his six-
year-old daughter, whose art
work adorns his office in the CarrBuilding, or the other 90 percentof the campus population whodoesnt directly interact with thearts.

to several schools, we thought itwould be a good idea to engagesomeone who had been throughit first-hand so we would have the
benefit of having his advice andcounsel.
At UNC media day on Aug. 12,
Baddour proclaimed himself the
Universitys spokesman for theNCAA investigation and askedthat Davis be allowed to focus onfootball.
Baddour said that the NCAAhas not communicated a predict-able timetable for the results ofthe investigation. He and Davisreiterated that the NCAA has madeUNCs case a priority.
He spoke extensively aboutmaintaining the integrity and
reputation of the University at
the event.I hope people hold judgment
until the process is through,Baddour said.
The athletic world knows thatthe University of North Carolinahas not been involved in this kindof investigation or review before sotheyre probably particularly inter-ested to see the out come.

There isnt exactly a theme forthis years Carolina Performing
Arts series.It follows a pattern that in years
past has been successful inter-nationally renowned musical acts,
creative and unlikely genre-bend-ing pairings, original commissionpremieres.
Itll be such a motley collec-tion of artists, said Reed Colver,director of campus and com-munity engagement for CarolinaPerforming Arts.
Each performance is unlikeanything else they are com-pletely unique.
The season began August 17, asfamed cellist Yo-Yo Ma and his SilkRoad Ensemble offered a sweeping
variety of world music to a sold-outaudience.
Im one hundred percent surethat none of the pieces were writ-ten by a dead European guy, saidHarry Kaplowtiz, marketing man-ager for Carolina Performing Arts.
More than 300 students took
advantage of reduced-price ticketsfor the opening show. In a changefrom past ticketing policies, all stu-dent seats are $10 this season.
The season is dotted with nota-ble performances, but Novemberspresentation of Sutra, a danceensemble combining Chinese tra-dition and European choreogra-
phy, leaves most members of theoffice of the executive director forthe arts almost speechless.
Its a stunning work, said SeanMcKeithan, Carolina Performing
Arts marketing and communica-tions coordinator. Ive been hyp-notically watching videos of the
group on YouTube.The work, a collaborationbetween Chinese monks from thestoried Shaolin Temple and theBelgian-Moroccan choreographerSidi Larbi Cherkaoui, could proveto be a highlight of the season.
Itll be truly a fascinating expe-rience, said Michelle Bordner,director of artist relations forCarolina Performing Arts.
But other performances maydraw large audiences this year.
Legendary jazz pianist ChickCorea will lead an ensemble in lateSeptember, followed soon after byrenowned classical pianist LeonFleisher.
And the wildly inventiveHandspring Puppet Companyreturns to UNC in April after a3- and-a-half year absence, pre-
senting an interactive spectacle ofpuppetry and drama.The Netherlands Dance Theater
performs in March, and the much-loved New York dance troupe Alvin
Ailey returns to open a three-nightengagement in February.
The St. Petersburg Philharmonicwill headline in April, continuing a
series initiative to bring the worlds10 best super orchestras to theMemorial Hall stage.
Im continuously impressed bythe caliber of international workthat we bring, McKeithan said.

Prin fprojc complBy Jake Filipstaff writer
Nearly $700,000 of pedestriansafety improvement projects inChapel Hill have come to a wrap,and now the town is studying howeffective they will be.
Most of the money has been puttoward building pedestrian refugeislands and crosswalks over thesummer, though officials say itsstill unclear how the changes willplay out.
Its too early to judge how effec-tive the new crosswalks are, saidChapel Hill engineering servicesmanager Kumar Neppalli.
At the end of the year, we will beable to tell by the number of acci-dents at these intersections, evalu-ate and make changes if needed.
Neppalli said there has been oneaccident reported since the newcrosswalks were constructed.
There were three cars stoppedat the crosswalk, and (the) fourthfailed to stop, Neppalli said. Rightnow we are currently taking inputfrom the Public Safety Department,and we are seeing what else we cando to improve safety and decreaseaccidents.
In July, the town began conduct-ing a follow-up survey to judge how
effective the crosswalk changes are.The survey is expected to produceresults by the end of the year.
After studies in 2003 foundsome zones in Chapel Hill posea threat to pedestrians, the town
began making changes to improvepedestrian safety.
Plans to build these crosswalkswere formulated three years agoand finally came to fruition afterreceiving funding last fall.
The funds Chapel Hill receivedfrom the American Recovery andReinvestment Act were dispersedinto several different projectsaround town, including crosswalks,disability ramps and sidewalks.
But though the town is anticipat-ing greater pedestrian safety fromthe crosswalks, some residents arequestioning their effectiveness.
I hadnt really even noticed thatthey put the crosswalks in, ChapelHill resident Evelyn Ross said.They arent really stopping peoplefrom running across the street or
jaywalking either.Public Information Officer
Catherine Lazorko said the town is
still enthusiastic about the improve-ments but expects that it will takesome time for people to understandhow to use the crosswalks properly
before they can increase safety.Before we can see any changes
in safety, we need people to learnhow to use the crosswalks, Lazorkosaid. Its expected that there will bea learning period before, and peopleneed to learn best how to use them.

Look at the busi-
nesses that havestarted up as aresult of the coreinvestments wehave made.
Tony ForiesT,N.C. seNator
By Caroline Dyestaff writer
While few funding requestsfrom the N.C. General Assemblyhave been met in the past two
years, researchers at UNC-systemschools were fortunate.
Despite decreasing their fund-ing by $70 million, the state leg-islature allocated $22 million forscience and research equipment forthe UNC system the first timethe state has ever given money touniversities for this purpose.
The new funding will enhancethe universities ability to obtainresearch grants, said Steven Leath,
vice president for research for theUNC system.
Grants go to scientists pursu-ing the most cutting-edge work,and UNC-system schools need the
best equipment to conduct grant-attracting research, Leath said.
(The $22 million) will give usa competitive advantage with oursister states, Leath said.
N.C. Sen. T ony For iest ,D-Alamance, co-chairman of theappropriations on education and
higher education committee, saidthe state legislature felt fundingthe universitys request for equip-ment was critical to the economichealth of the state.
We dont want to cut the fun-damentals more than we need tomove forward, Foriest said.
Look at the businesses thathave started up as a result of thecore investments we have made.
He said investment in researchand technology has always paidoff for North Carolina, citing theResearch Triangle Parks develop-ment as an example.
Individual campuses will submitproposals for equipment in priorityorder by Oct. 1, and the system willmake a decision by Nov. 1, Leathsaid.
He also said he wants to make
sure the UNC system avoids pur-chasing any redundant equiment.
After surveying all the campusesneeds, the system determined that$60 million total is needed in newequipment, Leath said.
We got a third of all our needsmet in one year, he said.
But it is still too early to deter-mine what kind of equipmentUNC-CH will request from thesystem, Barbara Entwisle, interim
vice chancellor for research andeconomic development at UNC-CH, stated in an e-mail.
Leath said he thought the legis-lature was swayed by the systemstrack record of obtaining grantsand wanted to increase the likeli-hood of campuses being awardedmore.
The state has traditionally givenmoney to the community collegesystem for science and researchequipment, but never to the UNCsystem, he said.
We were very pleased to see this
support for the university, espe-cially in these lean times, Entwislesaid. It will really make a differ-ence.
Foriest said the legislature want-ed the state to be ready with newequipment to make investments.
Science and technology, manyof us believe, are the way of thefuture, he said.
These are some things we cantafford not to have.

ally certified environmentally-friendly school in the southeastSmith Middle School.
Pedersen said his favorite fea-tures of the school are the rainwa-ter collection for bathrooms, irriga-tion and natural light.
It sort of looks like a spacestation, he said, describing the
schools lighting system.Pedersen said his main focus
as superintendent was to narrowthe districts achievement gap. To
work on accomplishing this goal,he established the Blue RibbonTask Force, which features after-school activities and a mentoringprogram.
Pedersen was a mentor whenthe program first started. He saidhe is still in contact with his men-tee, Kevin Cruz, who now works forEstes Hills Elementary School.
While weve made progress, westill have significant disparities in
groups of student achievement,he said.
Pedersen, who said he hasalways worked closely with theschool board, attributes a lot of hissuccesses to this partnership.
We have a culture in our school
system where stakeholders worktogether well that I hope will bemaintained, he said.
District spokeswoman StephanieKnott has worked with Pedersenfor five years and said his abilityto challenge students and staff is
empowering.I really appreciate his attention
to detail and focus on excellence,she said.

Carney said Gilbert, a UNC alum-nus, rejected the offer.
When the candidate rejectedthe offer, which was quite gener-ous, we were s tuck, Carney said.
And though Gilberts rejectionsent the committee reeling, Rimersaid a more refined image of the idealcandidate came as a silver lining to
the grim prospect of continuing thesearch through the summer.
It wasnt going back to the begin-ning, she said. We had worked out
what kind of person we were look-ing for. Now its more efficient.
Rimer and Carney said the forma-tion of a smaller executive committeehas also allowed for more efficiency.
It was an attempt to be nimbler,to move faster, Rimer said of thedecision to cut the search commit-tee from 15 to eight members.
The committees downsizing alsocame in response to a lesson mem-
bers learned the hard way: Times
of economic struggle occasionallyentail difficulties filling high-levelacademic positions.
People are risk-averse. Itsemblematic of the times, said Rimer,adding that the smaller committee ismore amendable to confidentiality.If word gets out, that could jeopar-dize your current job.
Executive Associate Provost RonStrauss was among the final threecandidates but said he has opted
not to reenter the applicant pool.To have a permanent dean select-
ed as early as the end of the semester,Carney said he will be taking a moreinvolved role, making personal callsto candidates. He said the search willalso be more behind-the-scenes than
before, when finalists publicly intro-duced themselves in forums.
There are people who do notemerge in those public searches,he said. We undoubtedly lost outon some candidates.

we went ahead and dismissed theclaims that had a sovereign immu-nity defense, Strickland said. Hesthe one we contend was negligentanyway.
Col. Frank Montes de Oca, thecountys emergency services direc-tor, said the department still hasnt
been served with any formal noti-fication of dismissal and is waitingto see what it all means.
Emergency Medical Servicesis still working with the countylegal department to make sure theproper notification has been made,Montes de Oca said.
Superior Court Judge Carl R.Fox ordered the Fraleys, Griffinand the county to enter mediationin April. Mediators work to helpparties come to agreements on howto resolve their conflicts out of thecourtroom.
Strickland said another media-
tion will be scheduled with Griffin,but a trial date is still planned forNov. 29.
Griffin was allowed to keephis paramedic credentials after aseven-member disciplinary review
board decided unanimously totake no action against him in June2009.
However, Griffin is not allowedto practice in Orange County untilhe repeats training.
