LaurenceLovetteappeals
sentence
By Zoe SchaverStaff Writer
Though it was upheld in N.C.Superior Court in June, Laurence
Alvin Lovette Jr.’s sentence will be reconsidered by the N.C. Courtof Appeals. Lovette is one of themen convicted in former UNCStudent Body President EveCarson’s 2008 murder.
Lovette is currently serving lifein prison without possibility ofparole after he was convicted inDecember 2011 for first-degreemurder, first-degree kidnapping,armed robbery and felony larcenyin connection with Carson’s death.
After an oral argument by hislawyer Keat Wiles before the N.C.Court of Appeals on Feb. 6, hecould receive a new sentence withthe possibility of parole in 25 years.
Carson was shot in the earlymorning of Mar. 8, 2008, after
being kidnapped near her homeon Friendly Lane in Chapel Hill
by Lovette and his friend DemarioJames Atwater. Atwater pledguilty to first-degree murder in2010 and is serving life in prison.
After abducting Carson in herown Toyota Highlander around3:40 a.m., Lovette and Atwaterdrove Carson around to various
ATMs, withdrawing a total of$1,400 from her accounts. Thetwo then took her to a woodedarea and shot her five times.
Wiles said Lovette deserves thelesser sentence because of a dueprocess violation during his trial.
In 2012, the U.S. SupremeCourt ruled that life in prison with-out possibility of parole for a per-son who was under 18 at the time
He received life in
prison for his role in EveCarson’s murder.

Andrew Powell, left, looks on as Emilio Vicente answers a question at a debate hosted by the Coalition of Carolina Voters in the Freedom Forum at Carroll Hall.
By Jane Wester and Langston TaylorStaff Writers
No publicity is bad publicity, so the phrase goes. Yet in the race for student body president,
publicity has put can-didate Emilio Vicenteon the defensive againstopponent AndrewPowell.
“I’m not running toget national attentionor to boost my resume,”Powell said in his open-ing statement at the rare runoff election debateMonday.
But Vicente defended himself.“I just want to reiterate that I’m not running
to get national media attention or boost myresume, I’m running because I want to hear from
you, Carolina students,” he said.Just hours before polls opened at midnight, the
two publicly challenged each other’s platformsand philosophies in an overflowing room inCarroll Hall Monday night. The debate was orga -nized by the Coalition of Carolina Voters, an unof-ficial collection of recognized student groups.
Moderators Hetali Lodaya, a 2013 student body president candidate, and Anna Sturkey,undergraduate student attorney general, encour-
aged the candidates to speak informally andrespond to each other directly.The candidates also clashed over the current
effectiveness of student government. Vicente said that his plan for listening ses-
sions would lead to greater student involvementand more effective advocacy.
“The problem with student government is thatit works in a silo,” said Vicente. “That’s what mylistening sessions are about.”
Powell said student government officialsalready know their peers’ key concerns, but theyneed to restructure the executive branch to bet-ter address them.
“It’s not really a lack of awareness of studentissues, but a lack of getting students involved ina structure that supports them,” he said.
Powell said he would use the office to effectchange for UNC students.
“Under my administration, student govern-
ment will be about effectiveness, not resume-padding,” he said.Both candidates spent significant time
emphasizing their central platform themes — Vicente pushing active listening by studentgovernment officials and Powell criticizing thecurrent executive branch structure.
Moderators asked how candidates with limit-
Powell and Vicente faced o≠ for the last time before the vote

UNC to roll out a studio
art minor in the fall
By Cain TwymanStaff Writer
With the new studio artminor set to roll out next fall,the art department is hoping itcan get right-brained studentsto interact with their creativity.
The minor will consist offive courses of different levelsin the art department — up tothree 100-level courses, one
200-level course and up to twoclasses 300-level and above.James Hirschfield, art
department chairman, said thedepartment is not receivingany additional money from theuniversity for the creation ofthe minor.
But Hirschfield said thedepartment will not need tohire any faculty associated
with the new minor becausethe classes required for it arealready being offered individu-ally at the university.
Another proposed artsminor, dance, which was slatedto be offered in fall 2013 or2014, was stalled due to a lackof money to hire faculty toteach the courses that wouldhave been required for it.
Hirschfield said he feels thestudio art minor will be benefi-cial to those who want to focuson art without having to majorin it.
“It’s meant to make it pos-sible for students interested in
Officials say nofaculty will need to behired for the program.
“It’s meant to make it possible for studentsinterested in art and other things to be able tofocus on art.”
James Hirschfield, UNC art department chairman
art and other things to be ableto focus on art,” he said.
Hirschfield said for the cre-ation of a new minor the depart-ment had to make a request tothe College of Arts and Sciences.The request then went to admin-istrative boards for approval.
Sophomore Morgan Lee saidshe knows students who previ-ously majored in studio art but
changed majors after decidingthey didn’t want to study it alone.“I think for them, a studio
art minor would probably begood,” she said.
Freshman Ankita Jain saidshe would not pursue the stu-dio art minor because she saidshe’s not artistic — but said shestill thinks it is a good idea.
“It’s not for me personally, but I think it’s good for the cur-riculum, ” she said.
Freshman Lauren Groffskysaid she thinks the minor
would allow less artistic stu-dents to expand their horizons.
“I think it would be fun totry ... especially for kids whoare interested in art but are sci-ence majors. I think it would begood for them,” she said.
Hirschfield said the minorhas long been a topic of discus-sion but became a serious pro-posal in only the last year.
Terry Rhodes, seniorassociate dean for fine artsand humanities, said in a
letter to Associate Dean ofUndergraduate Curricula ErikaLindemann that she supportedthe minor.
She said she thinks it will notdraw students away from thestudio art major.
“I have spoken at length withthe chair about the proposal,and he assures me that, aftercareful review and consultation
with the faculty, the new minor would not have the unintendedconsequence of reducing thenumber of students who com-plete the studio art major,” shesaid in her letter.
Hirschfield said there have been many students over the years who double-majored in biology and art but droppedthe art major because it wasnot something they wanted tofocus on.
He said the studio art minorshould make it easier for some-one to focus on art without hav-ing to major in it.
Hirschfield said the depart-ment is trying to create moreopportunities for students, andhe thinks the minor is a good
way to accomplish that goal.“We think this is going to be
a good thing for students. If ithelps students and isn’t detri-mental to the program, I thinkit’s a win-win.”

CAN’T BUY LOVE Human RightsCenter must
relocate again
By Kelsey WeekmanStaff Writer
A dramatic loss in fund-ing this year has forced theHuman Rights Center ofChapel Hill/Carrboro to relo-cate once more.
After the center’s directorJudith Blau was forced to
retire last year, the center lostits location on Barnes Street.Blau had used her own
money to pay for the center’s building.
Blau retired from her posi-tion as director due to a sud-den decline in health. Whenshe left, the group was forcedto turn to other nonprofitsfor help.
El Centro Hispano, anonprofit that provides ser-
vices for the Hispanic com-munities in Chapel Hill andCarrboro, will house some ofthe Human Rights Center’sprograms.
The group also now has anoffice at the business incuba-
tor Empowerment Inc. onGraham Street in ChapelHill.
The Human Rights Center began in 2009 when studentsand community members
worked together to preventowners of the Abbey Court
Apartment complex, whichis now known as CollinsCrossing Condominiums,from forcing out low-incomeand migrant workers.
Asif Khan, volunteercoordinator for the HumanRights Center, said themajority of the center’s vol-unteers are still UNC stu-dents.
“The HRC was originally
founded in order to help pas-sionate UNC undergraduates
translate their theoreticalclassroom learning into tan-gible practices,” he said.
From there, the centerexpanded to provide com-munity workshops, youthactivities, ESL classes, fooddistribution, partnership
with refugees from Burmaand support for day-laborers.
The growing organiza -tion operated out of a CollinsCrossing apartment untilit was forced to relocate inMarch 2012 due to permit-ting requirements.
That is when it moved to asmaller location in the houseon Barnes Street purchased
by Blau for the center’s use tocontinue serving marginal-ized people in Chapel Hilland Carrboro.
Blau, a former sociol-ogy professor, also providedmuch of the money for thegroup’s supplies until Dec. 31.
Nathan Hollister, chair-man of the Human RightsCenter, said while the changein location is necessary, it
won’t significantly impactthose they serve.
“While many local govern-ments avidly support humanrights and do their best to
protect them, they oftenlack the political means andresources to do so,” Hollistersaid. “The Human RightsCenter operates within thosecracks.”
Hollister said the partner-ship with El Centro Hispanois temporary, but it’s unclear
when the center will find itsnew, permanent home.
“El Centro is wonderfuland we feel that our partner-ship with them will be a greatfit,” he said.
“We intend to have a com-munity center in the future,
but that will be dictated bythe expressed needs of thecommunities we serve.”

Snowstorm slows Valentine’s Day gift salesBy Andy Bradshaw
Staff Writer
Kenneth Randby said he is accus-tomed to seeing a line stretched wellout into Franklin Street when he walksinto his store, Chapel Hill Florist, theday before Valentine’s Day.
But on Feb. 13, he said there was
almost no one in the store.Last week’s winter snowstorm left
many of Chapel Hill’s roads impass-able, making for dwindling Valentine’sDay sales for many local businessesspecializing in the romantic holiday.
While Randby said he was not sureof the specifics of his sales this year, hesaid he was sure they would not be up tothe store’s usual Valentine’s Day intake.
“I haven’t looked at the exact num- bers yet, but I’m sure they’ll be down,”he said.
He said the low sales were expected,considering the conditions of the roads.
“I mean, there was no one on theroads,” he said. “We weren’t surprisedno one was able to make it.”
Just down the road on East MainStreet in Carrboro, Cameron’s gift shop
was suffering a similar fate.The shop, which relocated from
University Mall to Carrboro in October,specializes in gifts that have becomefavorites of Valentine’s Day couples inthe past.
“We are known for our cards and jewelry, and we usually sell a lot of iton Valentine’s Day,” said Wendy Smith,
who co-owns the shop with her sister.Smith said the store usually has its
busiest period from Feb. 12 through Valentine’s Day, when people are buy -ing last-minute gifts.
But this year Smith said her custom-ers planned further ahead to preparefor the snowstorm.
“We had people coming in muchearlier in the week to buy gifts,” she said.“So a lot of our customers were able tochange their shopping habits this year.”
She said the usual swelling crowdsin the days directly before Valentine’sDay were sorely missed.
“We had dismal sales on those days,”she said. “I was able to walk to work,
but very few people could drive sothere was hardly anyone in the store.
Doc Ryan, one of the owners of
Sugarland bakery, said business wasnot negatively impacted by the snow on
Valentine’s Day because most of theircustomers don’t rely on roads to come in.
“We do very well when it snows because the student population islargely pedestrian,” Ryan said. “Wethought the business was pretty good.”
And it was business as usual at the
Carolina Confectionery Company.Mary Butler, the owner and chief
chocolatier of the business, said theicy weather actually helped Valentine’sDay sales.
“We were able to get around it,” shesaid. “We make most of our chocolatesfor special order, so we were able toarrange for pick-up or delivery for ourclients who ordered ahead of the storm.”
Butler said the business, whichmakes handmade chocolates, hasattracted a dedicated customer basearound Valentine’s Day.
“We have a really loyal clientele,”she said. “So when people heard aboutthe weather, they made sure to placeorders ahead of time.”
A loss in funding willforce the nonprofitto move once more.

Whipping up crispy pig earsand experimenting with “livermush,” students in Carolina Eatsaren’t afraid of taking risks withtheir food.
“We’re not like Rachael Ray,”said Carolina Eats founder andsenior Alex Dixon.
Dixon began the club, whichfocuses on food and culinary writ-ing, a year ago with a few friendsto unite people sharing a passionfor eating.
“We were a rag-tag group ofpeople,” said sophomore SamiJackson, a writer on CarolinaEats’s blog who has watched the
organization develop over the pastfew semesters.The club’s meetings started as
informal opportunities for friendsto gather. One year later, CarolinaEats now includes students ofall years and majors who seek acreative outlet to unwind and talkabout what everyone loves most— food.
The group approaches foodfrom all angles to capture the
whole dining experience, and pro-duces essays, blog posts and videos
focused on the artistic aspects ofcuisine. Their latest video post,“Cook Like a Matriarch,” shows
the group’s edgy tone and avant-garde style.“It’s about the love of food and
the culture that comes with it,”said creative editor and sopho-more Abby Reimer. “When youthink of foodie-like organizations,it’s a lot of quinoa and organicoptions. But I think there’s a spacefor food that’s original and fun.”
The members come from a variety of backgrounds — forsome, food and cooking have
been an interest since child-hood, while for others it’s a newdiscovery. As part of this explora-tion, the group recently traveledthrough South Carolina andGeorgia to explore old-fashionedSouthern cooking.
Jackson said the trip taughther about the diverse — andsometimes strange — dishes inSouthern barbecue restaurants.
“Once you get deeper into rural,traditional food culture, every -thing is valuable and is reflectedin cuisine, like using all parts ofan animal,” she said. “Although allthese foods seem weird, you haveto connect it to culture.”
Searching for this cultural con-nection unearthed a recipe for
yam vodka, inspired experiments
with leftover pig ears and intro-duced the group to the sensationof liver mush. The club is always
on the hunt for its next interestinginvestigation.Carolina Eats has ties with the
Chapel Hill and Carrboro com-munities as well. Recently, whilecatering a gala for LAB! Theatre,members created dishes thatrelated to the show’s theme toserve after the performance. Theyalso work closely with TABLE, alocal charity, to help with after-school snack programs, cannedfood drives and fundraising effortsthrough bake sales.
The group also hosts vari-ous food-themed parties, whichare open to students looking tochange up their diets, and offera unique opportunity to enjoy ahome-cooked dinner while meet-
ing new people.Jackson said the group hopes to become an authority on food forthe UNC community. They’re alsohoping to increase campus aware-ness with a print publication toencourage UNC students to delvedeeper into the world of food and
be adventurous with their choices.“Everyone should try something
once,” Jackson said. “It’ll enrich your life — it has mine.”

Coming into No. 12 NorthCarolina’s 2014 baseball season,defense was one of the biggest worriesthat coach Mike Fox had.
“That’s the one area of our teamI’m concerned about, more than any -thing else,” he said at the team’s mediaday Jan. 31. “I think that’s going to
be something to watch for our teamearly in the season is how well we playdefense especially in the infield.”
Throughout UNC’s three-gameseries with College of Charleston this
weekend, errors and misplayed balls ledto scoring for Charleston. The Tar Heelsmade at least one error in each game ofthe series, many of them from youngerplayers adjusting to the college game.
With so many young players get-
ting playing time, the pressure on the veteran players was amplified.Trent Thornton and Michael
Russell are two of those veterans whoproved their value to the team in thesecond game of the series.
Thornton threw six innings andstruck out a career-high 10 batters,
while Russell lived up to Fox’s billingas the team’s heart and soul, driving infour runs on four hits, including theteam’s first homerun of the season.
“This year, especially after losingall those guys I’ve gotta be relied on todrive in a lot more runs,” Russell said.“My first two years I really haven’t had
to have any RBIs for our team to win,I was more of a ‘set the table’ kind ofguy.
“This year definitely I’ve gotta do alittle more than what I’m used to doing.”
Throughout the series, Russell was4-10 with three walks, hitting behindLandon Lassiter and Skye Bolt in the
lineup. Those three players are allexpected to do more this year in theheart of the batting order.
In addition to helping his team outoffensively, Russell needs to be the gluethat holds the infield together — aninfield made up entirely of new faces.
Although the first series was plagued with errors, Russell is confident in theteam’s defense moving forward.
“Our defense is definitely going toimprove,” he said.
“We didn’t get off to the best start but we have the ability for it to be strong.”
The same could be said for theUNC team. It didn’t get off to the beststart, but it still has talented youngplayers who will improve as the sea -son goes on.
Thornton said he and the rest of
the pitching staff — including fresh-man Zac Gallen, who threw 6.2innings of two-run ball in his firstregular season game — were confi-dent in the players behind them mak-ing plays.
“You have some freshman that arestepping in and filling those roles,” hesaid. “But it’s important to stay con-fident in what you’re doing. They’regoing to make the plays.
“It’s the very first weekend sothey’re shaking off the rust, but we’ll
be fine.”
UNC lost two games in athree-game series vs. the
College of Charleston.

Big man has big game at FSU Facultydiscuss
APR scoresBy Amanda Albright
University Editor
Morass.The word, meaning “a con-
fusing situation,” was how onefaculty athletics committeemember described varyingUNC athletic and academicsuccess statistics.
The committee, which metMonday, discussed that and theathletic department’s strategicplan, which aims for UNC to
be ranked third in the confer-ence and 10th nationally in
both academics and athletics.“The idea that academics areon the same par as athletics isnew,” said Paul Friga, a busi-ness professor. “We need to tellthe academic story more.”
How realistic that goal is— and how to measure suchsuccess — was a topic of con-fusion at the meeting.
Individual teams’ five-year Academic Progress Ratesdominated the discussion.The rate, which is used by theNCAA, gives teams a scoreout of 1,000.The lowest five-
year scores were held by thefootball team, with a score of934; the wrestling team, witha score of 938; and the men’ssoccer team, with a score of953. To stay eligible for cham-pionships, teams must keep a930 average two-year APR.
UNC’s football team wasranked 189th among Division1 schools for APR, and men’ssoccer was ranked 160th.
But members criticized the
scores for only including schol-arship or recruited athletes.
“Will we ever know if we’veachieved or moved closer tothis goal?” said Andrew Perrin,a member and sociology pro-fessor. “It seems like a morass.”
Nursing professor BeverlyFoster said the numbers
were confusing because theyexclude some players.
“If these athletes vary byteam and are only part of theiceberg ... they’re all part ofour conversation,” she said.
UNC has led the ACC aver-
age in APR for the past seven years, Friga said. The confer-ence average is an APR of 975— UNC’s average was a 980.
Private schools, such asDuke University and StanfordUniversity, were ranked high-er than UNC academically,according to the data.
“We’re trying to be as goodacademically as the privatesand as good athletically asthe publics,” said AthleticDirector Bubba Cunningham.
Committee ChairwomanJoy Renner said she was wor-ried that the committee could
become bogged down by com-paring UNC to other schools.
“We’re not in a place tocompare ourselves to anyone,”she said. We spent the lasttwo years figuring out who weare. I’m hoping by the end ofthe year we can say who we
want to be. Then we can say,‘How do we get there?’”

Freshman center Kennedy Meeks had a career-high 23 points in UNC’s 81-75 win against FSU.
By Aaron DodsonAssistant Sports Editor
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Asthe red numbers fiercely tickeddown on the game clock at theend of the first half, KennedyMeeks caught the ball inside,gathered himself and finishedstrong with his left hand.
Before the ball could evendrop through the nylon net,the freshman center began to
backpedal.He then stopped as the
buzzer sounded and confi-dently nodded his head whilehigh-fiving each member ofthe North Carolina men’s bas-ketball team as it headed into
the locker room.UNC still trailed FloridaState, but Meeks grinnedfrom ear-to-ear.
The freshman looked onthe bright side.
The Tar Heels had foundthemselves down by as muchas 15 points in the first half oftheir 81-75 win against FSUMonday. But his basket at theend of the half only made it aone-possession game.
Meeks had faith.Following the game, he
responded with a quick, “Oh yeah,” while laughing whenasked if he thought UNC hadthe momentum to mount acomeback. And that UNC did,
fueled by a career night fromits freshman big man.“As the first half went on,
I felt like I could be moreaggressive and get those easyplays,” said Meeks, who fin-ished with a career-high 23points. “...We were all startingto get discouraged. We just
needed that lift.”Meeks emerged out of the
tunnel at the Tucker Centerto start the second half justas lively as he had entered itminutes before.
A strong contest fromMeeks on FSU’s first offensivepossession led to a wild shot.
On the other end of thefloor, he converted.
On two of UNC’s offensivepossessions in the next fewminutes, the crowd againheard the Tar Heel freshman’sname ring through the arena.
Each time, Meeks skill-fully dissected his matchup
with Seminole center BorisBojanovsky, who he out-
weighs by 50 pounds.Sophomore forward Brice
Johnson attributed Meeks’fundamentals to the ease with
which he was able to scoreinside Monday. The freshmanconnected on 11 field goals —the most by any Tar Heel in asingle game this season .
“He didn’t play as well thelast couple of games, so likecoach (Roy Williams) said,it was great to have him outthere able to score for us,”Johnson said.
“He had a big-time effecton offense.”
With UNC forward JamesMichael McAdoo in foul trou-
ble all night, Meeks had theopportunity to show just how
big of an impact he could have. Whenever his team needed
an energy boost, he was there. A strong outlet pass? He wasthere.
And most importantly, when UNC needed a basket
— Meeks gracefully droppedthe ball in the net, employingthe same fundamental strate-gy he did on the play that senthis team into halftime.
Catch, gather and finish. And after the game, the
freshman received praisenot only from his own coach,
but the one that stood on theother side of the court, try-ing so desperately all night tocombat his dominance.
“North Carolina’s going tohave quality talent in all posi-tions,” said Florida State coachLeonard Hamilton.
“Meeks just happens to beone of those players that gotthe ball inside tonight, and wehad a difficult time stoppinghim.”
Freshman KennedyMeeks stepped up in
UNC’s 81-75 win.

“I think that student gov-ernment is not rocket science— it’s learnable,” Vicente said.“Even rocket science is learn-able.”

Powell said while advocat-ing against tuition hikes isimportant, student govern-ment ultimately needs toaddress the root issue — theclassic lecture-based class-
room model, which he calledoutdated and ineffective.
“The lecture model was cre-ated when we lived in a worldof information scarcity. Now
we live in a world of informa-tion overload,” he said.
Vicente expressed con-cern that moving towards amore cost-efficient classroomformat would allow the N.C.General Assembly to cutfunding even further.

withdrew his support, claiminghe focused on national mediaattention and identity ratherthan platform issues, askingstudents to vote for Powell.

New opponent for Hagan emerges
By Lindsay CarbonellStaff Writer
While GOP candidates battle for the spot on the U.S.Senatorial ticket, incum-
bent N.C. Sen. Kay Hagan’sapproval ratings remain low.
And now a new opponentto Hagan’s seat has emerged— from her own party.
Hagan’s approval ratingremains at 41 percent to 50percent who disapprove ofher. This marks the fourthconsecutive month she hasseen an almost -10 percentnet approval rate, accordingto Public Policy Polling, a left-
leaning firm based in Raleigh.Her new opponent Will
Stewart, 31, is an informationtechnology expert with noprior experience in politics.
“Frankly, I’m tired of look -
ing at corporate politicians,”he said. “There’s not reallyanybody that’s representingthe lower and middle class.”
Meanwhile, RepublicanBill Flynn, a Winston-Salemradio host, has dropped out ofthe race.
N.C. House Speaker ThomTillis continues to lead thepack, polling at 20 percent.
He is followed by GregBrannon and Heather Grant
who are both polling at 13percent. Both candidatesgained 2 percent from lastmonth, according to PPP.Ted Alexander, former Shelbymayor, is polling at 10 percent.
“Once Hagan starts spending the hoards ofcash she’s stockpiling … things will change.”Dustin Ingalls,Public Policy Polling assistant to the director
Mark Harris, a Baptist pas-tor, and Edward Kryn, a for-mer physician, trail behind.
Brannon, a gynecologist,is in court for a civil lawsuit,according to The (Raleigh)News & Observer.
Michael Cobb, professor ofpolitical science at N.C. StateUniversity, said it is not likelythat Brannon’s campaign will
be affected by the lawsuit.“The only way that it would
have any effect is if this isdeemed to be some sort ofpolitical scandal that windsup receiving significant mediacoverage,” he said.
Grant, a nurse practitio-ner, said she’s reaching out topeople by hosting events andtalking with neighbors.
Dustin Ingalls, assistant tothe director of PPP, said thereis little interest among votersfor GOP primary candidates.
“It doesn’t seem to be thatexciting of a race,” he said.
He said candidates havetrouble distinguishing them-selves in the race because theyare not spending money. EvenTillis, he said, has not spentmuch of his campaign finances.
Most of the money spent by special interest groups
— especially right-leaning Americans for Prosperity — isgoing to attack ads againstHagan, Ingalls said.
“Once Hagan starts spend-ing the hoards of cash she’s
stockpiling once the primaryis over, things will change,”he said.
Ingalls said it is difficult tostand out in a primary with somany candidates.
“Look at Ted Alexander andEdward Kryn who just got intothe race last month,” he said.“Ted Alexander, I think for alot of voters, just sounds like ageneric white guy. He’s some-
one who’s Republican and he’smale and who’s not Kay Hagan,and that’s really all voters knowabout him now.”
Will Stewart will runfor Kay Hagan’s seat
in the Senate.
of the crime constitutes crueland unusual punishment.
In February 2013, the N.C.Court of Appeals orderedthat Lovette, 17 at the time
of Carson’s murder, be resen-tenced in accord with theruling. His original life sen-tence was upheld last June
by N.C. Superior Court Judge Allen Baddour.
Wiles said because of theSupreme Court decision,Lovette was not originallygiven proper notice of theconditions of his case andan opportunity to be heard,
which are both necessary for
due process.“The problem is that the
law changed while his case was going on,” Wiles said.
“His sentencing wasn’t fair because he didn’t get a trialthat would’ve allowed himto take advantage of the new
sentencing scheme.”He said Lovette and his law-
yers might have made differenttrial decisions had they knownthe ruling would take place.
“That failure of notice rep-resents a failure of due pro-cess,” Wiles said.
Dick Ellis, the marshal ofthe N.C. Court of Appeals,said on average the courttakes 90 days to make thiskind of decision. Decisions
are posted to the court’s website on the first and thirdTuesdays of each month.
James Markham, a UNCpublic law professor in theSchool of Government, saidthere is not much case lawto which this appeal can be
compared.“Given that he’s one of the
first people to whom this lawhas applied, it’s not surprisingthat there would be some chal-lenge to explore what the newlaw means,” Markham said.
“He might have cooperateddifferently if he knew the layof the land was changing likethat.”

RUNOFF DEBATEFROM PAGE 1
The customary pieces weremissing. The trusty formuladidn’t compute.
Still, somehow, the TarHeels found an alternativesolution. Somehow UNCcobbled together a victory, the300th ACC victory of coachRoy Williams’ career — a81-75 defeat of Florida State.In typical fashion, Williamsdeflected praise for his300th-win accolade after thegame, instead focusing on hisplayers’ performances.
“Well, that was aboutas bizarre a game as I wasinvolved in early because there
was nothing that we did that was very good,” Williams said.
“I feel like I’ve stolen everycookie out of the cookie store.”
During one UNC timeout inthe first half, Williams yelled,“I can just sit down on the
bench and let you guys lose by50. The choice is yours.”
The Tar Heels couldn’trely on their usual methods.They couldn’t just climb ontoMcAdoo’s and Paige’s shoul-ders — they had to take theleap themselves.
Brice Johnson came offthe bench in the first half andscored 10 points on 4-for-5shooting and brought down
seven rebounds. He combined with fellow big man freshmanKennedy Meeks, who scored13 first-half points and pulleddown five boards, to fuel anexplosive offensive 14-4 runand to enter the half down by
just three, 36-33.But there was still more
work to be done — and limitedtools with which to accomplishit. McAdoo sat most of thegame, and Johnson soon joinedhim on the bench when hepicked up his fourth foul mid-
way through the second half.UNC’s roster continued
to unfurl. Jackson Simmons,Desmond Hubert and LukeDavis took the court in a rag-
tag effort as the scoring mar-gin ballooned and contracted.
“We all have capabilitiesof being leaders, especiallyus (upperclassmen) like meand Jackson, Luke, Brice,even though we don’t play asmuch,” said Hubert, who tiedthe game at 55-55 with a put-
back dunk in the second half.“We’ve been here awhile, and
we all know what we’re sup-posed to do, and we all knowCarolina basketball, and wetry to bring that to the table.”
Eventually, Paige would break loose from his first
half handcuffs, nailing three3-pointers and scoring 16points in the second half. AndMeeks would continue hisoffensive outburst, finishing
with a career-high 23 points.But UNC needed a guttier
effort than usual to earn its sev -enth consecutive win Monday.The win was the Tar Heels’
biggest comeback of the season— and first win after trailing athalftime this season. And they
did it, in large part, without thetypical domineering presenceof two of their best players.
“I think each person onthis team knows their role,”Simmons said. “And we’veseen that doing our job canget us the W.”
On Monday, the Tar Heelssimply had to do their jobsdifferently.

Gay marriage is on quickpace to Supreme Court WASHINGTON, D.C.
(MCT) — The legal cam-paign for marriage equalityis picking up speed, movingat a pace that has surprisedeven longtime advocates andincreasing the likelihood of adefinitive Supreme Court testas early as next year.
Efforts by some lawyersto plan a careful strategy for
which cases to push forwardto the high court have largely
been put aside amid a rush oflower-court rulings strikingdown bans on same-sex mar-riage. The most recent camelast week in Virginia, the firstsuch ruling in the South.
“I don’t think there is any way to predict” which case willarrive at the Supreme Courtfirst, lawyer David Boies saidafter the Virginia ruling.
In the last eight weeks, inaddition to the Virginia deci-sion, federal judges in Utahand Oklahoma have struckdown laws limiting marriageequality. A federal judge inKentucky ruled the state mustrecognize same-sex marriages
from other states. And inOhio, a federal judge issued amore narrow ruling that castdoubt on the state’s ban.
Increasingly, the judges aresaying they can see no legiti-mate justification for denyingmarriage licenses to same-sexcouples. With the SupremeCourt having said that statescannot validly base marriagelaws on traditional religiousdisapproval of homosexuality,the remaining justificationsoffered to defend the laws failto pass muster, the judgeshave ruled.
U.S. District Judge Arenda Wright Allen in the Virginiacase began her opinion witha lengthy quotation fromMildred Loving, the plaintiff
who successfully challenged Virginia’s law against inter-racial marriage in the highcourt in 1967.
That opening served noticethat the judge, a former Navylawyer appointed in 2011 byPresident Barack Obama, didnot accept Virginia’s argumentthat history and tradition wereenough to justify the state’s
ban on same-sex marriage.She also forcefully rejected
the state’s argument that lim-iting marriage to heterosexualcouples is good for children.
Accused Craigslist killerconfesses to 22 slayings
LOS ANGELES (MCT) —Pennsylvania teenager accusedof killing a man she met onCraigslist has confessed to theslaying — and to killing morethan 20 other people after
joining a satanic cult at age 13,according to an interview shegave to a local newspaper.
Miranda Barbour, 19,reportedly had been mar-ried only three weeks whenshe and her husband, ElytteBarbour, 22, stabbed andstrangled Troy LaFerrara,42, after meeting up withhim on Nov. 11, according topolice in Sunbury, Pa. BothMiranda and Elytte Barbour,
who wed in North Carolina, were arrested a month laterin Pennsylvania. They are incustody and facing chargesthat include criminal homi-cide, assault and robbery,according to court records.
In a jailhouse interviewpublished Saturday, the Daily
Item in Sunbury, Pa., reportedthat Miranda Barbour admit-ted to killing LaFerrara andto being part of a satanic cultsince she was 13 years old.
Barbour said she begankilling people shortly after she
joined the cult while living in Alaska and “stopped count-ing” when “I hit 22” slayings,according to the newspaper.
Sunbury Police Chief SteveMazzeo told the Daily Item hecouldn’t confirm her claims
but said “we are seriously con-cerned and have been in con-tact with the proper authori-ties” in other jurisdictions.
A spokeswoman for theFBI, Carrie Adamowski,told the Los Angeles Timesin an email Sunday that“the FBI’s Philadelphia divi-sion has recently been incontact with the SunburyPolice Department regardingMiranda Barbour and willoffer any assistance requestedin the case.”
Barbour reportedly told theDaily Item that she had par-ticipated in killings in Alaska,Texas, North Carolina andCalifornia, with the majorityhappening in Alaska.

Symphony Orchestrashows student talent
By Sarah VasselloStaff Writer
It takes many musicalinstruments coming togetherto create a unique harmony.Tonight, UNC studentsare doing just that in theannual mid-semester UNCSymphony Orchestra concert.
The concert, which high-lights undergraduate talent,
will feature two UNC stu-dent soloists — KaswannaKanyinda and ChristinaLai — both of whom were
winners in the symphony’sannual student concerto com-petition, held in November.
In addition to the competi-tion winners and the under-graduate orchestra members,senior Vincent Povazsay willact as a guest student con-ductor for Gustav Mahler’s“Adagietto from SymphonyNo. 5,” an impressive feat as
very few undergraduates aregiven this privilege.
Povazsay said he wasextremely thankful for theopportunity granted to him
by the music department.“It’s a rare opportunity to
be able to lead a group of 100
of your closest friends andcolleagues to the great musicof Gustav Mahler,” he said.
“Working on that piece with the orchestra has been areal pleasure and it’s sound-ing fantastic.”
Junior Vincent DeSio, pres-ident of the UNC SymphonyOrchestra executive com-mittee, said a panel of threeprofessional musicians fromoutside the University selectedthe concerto winners to elimi-nate bias within the musicdepartment.
“(The judges) decide who would be the best performerfor the concert — music selec-tion, how they perform it,how expressive they are, howprofessional they are,” he said.
Kanyinda, a senior, will be singing Tchaikovsky’s“Polina’s Romance” from theopera “The Queen of Spades,Op. 68,” as well as Gershwin’s“My Man’s Gone Now,” fromthe opera “Porgy and Bess.”
Kanyinda said though she will be performing a solo, thetrue value in the performancecomes from the collaboration
with the rest of the orchestra.“When you’re rehearsing
with the orchestra, you’re soenamored by the amount ofsound that comes through theinstruments and the depththat it has, ” she said. “You getso caught up in it. I love it.”
Lai, a junior pianist, is the
concerto’s other winner. She will be performing Ravel’s“Concerto in D major forPiano, Left Hand.”
An already difficult piece,Ravel’s piece appealed to Lai

hand, leaving only her left toplay with. But, after practicingfor more than a year, she hasperfected the technique.
“The piano piece is quitespectacular,” Kalam said. “It’salmost 20 minutes long — it
will bring down the house because it’s a big part for thesoloist, and it’s a big part forthe orchestra.”
While the focus is largelyon the concerto competition
winners and on Povazsay, theUNC Symphony Orchestraalso hopes to draw attentionto the excellence of UNC’smusic program in general.
“As Carolina students, a lotof people think of athletics, andthe nursing school, and the law(school),” Kanyinda said.
“I feel like this is ouropportunity as a musicdepartment to say, ‘Hey,Carolina is great for all of
these things, but don’t forgetthe music. Don’t forget that
we have artistic people — wehave well rounded students,and this is their artistic side.’”
Group starts ‘cookie-cott’By Ben Moffat
Staff Writer
As Girl Scout cookie sellingseason reaches its peak, someanti-abortion groups acrossthe country are aiming to take
a bite out of the organization’scookie sales.
Pro-Life Waco, a Texas anti-abortion organization, is lead-ing a “cookie-cott” based ona tweet from the Girl Scoutsaccount about a HuffingtonPost article that namedTexas Sen. Wendy Davis, apro-abortion rights advocate
who filibustered a Texas lawrestricting the procedure, oneof its Women of the Year.
The Girl Scouts of the USAdoes not take a political stanceon issues such as abortion, but
boycott leaders say that thegroup has undergone a left-leaning shift in recent years.
“There has been a decades-
long concern over the driftof the Girl Scouts towardsa support for pro-abortionactivists,” said John Pisciotta,director of Pro-Life Waco.
“We boycotted Girl Scoutcookies in 2004 over theirsupport for a scheme headed
by Planned Parenthood, and we will do so again.”
Girl Scouts representativessaid the tweet did not con-stitute a political stance andthat the boycott is based onmisinformation.
“We do not feel it is our roleto advocate for personal mat-ters,” said Krista Park, spokes-
woman for the North CarolinaCoastal Pines Girl Scouts
Council. “The boycott is basedupon misinformation on whatthe Girl Scouts stand for.”
She said the cookie pro-gram promotes essential lifeskills for girls, not politics.
“The cookie program is animportant part of the skills wetry and pass on to our girls,”she said. “It is about buildingconfidence and skills in the
business world, which will helpthem later on in life. The GirlScouts do not have a connec-

It’s a group Chapel Hillrarely gets the chance toserve.
At least, that’s what TownCouncil member Ed Harrisonseems to think.
Plans for a new develop-ment targeting senior citizensdrew positive reactions fromTown Council members attheir meeting Monday.
The proposal, made byEpcon Communities, wouldcreate 65 single family homeson three parcels of landcomprised of 2301, 2201 and2209 Homestead Road.
The development,Courtyards of Homestead,could include a clubhouse,
yard services and a commu-nity pool.
The council members saidthey appreciated the proposaltargeting a section of thepopulation that they think isunderserved in the town.
“I’m glad to see this because there really isn’t any-thing like this within ChapelHill,” Harrison said.
Joel Rhoades, vice presi-dent and general counsel forEpcon, said the company wasattracted to the town due tothe growing number of oldercitizens wanting to downsize.
“We saw a lot of people that want to stay in Chapel Hillas they get older, but want to
downsize from their largerhomes to single story homesthat are more manageable,”Rhoades said.
Council member Jim Wardsaid many seniors move tocommunities outside of thetown, mainly in Durham, dueto the lack of options thatcater to their needs.
While the proposal is inthe early stages, the counciloffered suggestions to thedevelopers regarding theproject.
The council said the lack ofaffordable housing in the cur-rent proposal was worrisome.New developments in ChapelHill must provide 15 percentaffordable housing, which
would be 10 of the homes.The current proposal substi-tutes paying a fee in lieu ofaffordable housing in orderto offer all homes at marketprice.
“Its hard for me to thinkof any possible payment inlieu large enough to gain mysupport,” council member LeeStorrow said.
Rhoades said the companyhas never had to develop acommunity with a minimumaffordable housing require-ment, but developers plan tomeet it for Courtyards.
The other concern wasthe ability to create a senseof community within thedevelopment and how to inte-grate it with the surroundingneighborhood.
“For many seniors, when you move you don’t knowanyone,” said council memberDonna Bell. “You want tomake connections.”
IN OTHER NEWS
During its meeting Mon-
day, the Town Council also
discussed:
• A proposal to change the
name of the Community
Design Commission to the
Community Design Advisory
Board to streamline the de-
velopment approval process
in Chapel Hill.
• The cost of the current
advisory board system is
$445,585, according to a
presentation by Mayor Mark
Kleinschmidt.
• The council will further
discuss this change during
its meeting on March 10.
The members also cited theneed for pedestrian and bikeaccessibility in and out of thedevelopment to allow accessto the nearby senior andaquatic centers.
Epcon has developmentsaround the Triangle areaincluding in Raleigh, Durhamand Cary.
Rhoades said the next stepis to take the recommenda-tions from the council andrevise their plans.
“We’ll get together withour design teams and takeeverything we heard heretonight into account andhopefully come back witha refined proposal for thecouncil,” he said.
Courtyards ofHomestead wouldinclude 65 homes.

tion to Planned Parenthoodand never have. We hopepeople will continue to supportus through this time.”
Pisciotta said the boycott will span this year’s Girl Scoutcookie season.
“We hope that our actions will convince the Girl Scoutsof the USA to stand by theirpledge to not back one side ofthe debate,” he said. “If theycontinue to do so, many peo-ple will take their support for
the organization elsewhere,such as to the AmericanHeritage Girls.”
But not all anti-abortiongroups fully support a boycottof the Girl Scouts.
“We don’t have an official
boycott of the Girl Scouts,”said Barbara Holt, the presi-dent of N.C. Right to Life.
“We leave it up to ourmembers to decide where totake their business. Thereare many manufacturers andindustries that have connec-tions to Planned Parenthood,and our goal is to raise aware-ness about what pro-abortiongroups such as these teachand practice, rather thanspending all our time boycot-ting.”
