By Jeremy VernonSports Editor
Within the past six months, theNorth Carolina basketball team losttwo of its most iconic personalitiesin Dean Smith and Bill Guthridge.
Smith died Feb. 7 at the age of 83 inChapel Hill. In 37 seasons as the TarHeels’ head coach, Smith amassed twonational championships, 13 ACC tour-nament titles and 11 Final Fours.
Just over three months later, onMay 12, Guthridge died at the age of77. He served as an assistant underSmith from 1967 to 1997.
After Smith retired in 1997,Guthridge held the title of headcoach for the next three seasons,
where he led UNC to two Final Fourappearances.
While Smith and Guthridgehad two unique personalities, theyprovided that little something thatmade the North Carolina basketballprogram and the people aroundthem successful.
They were almost opposites, butpeople close to the pair said their
bond was substantial — they caredfor each other.
So as the news of Guthridge’s death
spread throughout the UNC commu-nity, Woody Durham, a play-by-playannouncer for UNC football and men’s
basketball for 40 years, wasn’t sur-prised. He knew what had happened.
“I guess Coach Smith just neededCoach Guthridge again,” he said.
A coaching family
Among those most impacted by thelegendary duo of Guthridge and Smith
was Roy Williams, who now serves asUNC’s head basketball coach.
In 1978, when Williams was thehead coach at Charles D. Owen HighSchool in Black Mountain, N.C., hemet with Guthridge for lunch to talkto him about something that was
bothering him. Williams told Guthridge coaching
had taken over his life, leaving littleroom for him to focus on teaching.
“I told him that I thought I wascheating my students,” he said.
Williams also mentioned thathe was thinking of applying for agraduate assistant position at anotherschool. The next night, Williams heardfrom Smith, who asked him to come
back to UNC as a part-time assistant. With Guthridge and Smith back -
ing him, Williams spent the next 10 years as an assistant at UNC.
But in 1988, Williams facedanother hurdle in his coachingcareer and looked to Smith for com-fort as he prepared to interview forthe head coaching job at Kansas.
“I called him the night before I went to Kansas for the interview,” Williams said. “And I said, ‘Coach, are you sure you want to do this? This is your school. You’re screwing them uphere, telling them I can do the job.”
Smith quickly assured Williamsthat he was the right fit.
“You can do this job,” he said. “And you’re going to be the best.”
With those words of encourage-ment in his back pocket, Williams
went through with the interview anda short time later became Kansas’head coach.
But if not for Smith andGuthridge, Williams may have nothad that chance — or the chance to
win two national championships with UNC.
Williams knows the impact bothSmith and Guthridge had on hiscareer and his growth as a person.They were the perfect mentors, andto Williams, they were family.
Headed home
After UNC’s season ended in1978, Guthridge had an issue toresolve, much like the one he helped
Williams through that same year.Guthridge was being recruited
by Penn State football coach JoePaterno for the school’s basketballhead coaching position.
As Guthridge checked his bags atan Arizona airport, he had a decisionto make — leave for Penn State, orstay at UNC, with Coach Smith.
He decided to take the flight from Arizona to Chicago to mull over thedecision, and when he landed, heknew what he had to do.
He couldn’t leave Smith. He knewhe needed Smith as much as Smithneeded him.
“He thought it would be better forhim and for Carolina basketball ifstayed with Coach Smith,” Durhamsaid.
The decision played out well. Smithand Guthridge coached UNC to two
national championships in 1982 and1993, and created a lasting impact onUNC that may never be seen again.
A LINEAGE OFLEGENDS
Legacy of beloved basketball coaches is bedrock of team and school
Find balance,
do what you love
Starting college can
be a prospect t hat is both exh ilarati ng and
frightening — a high-stakes balanci ng act w ith the prom-ise of tremendous awards andterrifying pitfalls.
It’s natural to worry aboutsucceeding academically, deal-ing with financial pressures,finding friends, getting toknow a new place and makingcollege live up to the expecta-tion that it’s supposed to be the
best four years of your life.It can even be a good thing
to think about these things.They can motivate successes,and this schools has a traditionof producing brilliant minds.
But as with most things inlife, balance is key. The respon-sibilities and stresses of beinga college student, like learningfinancial responsibility andacademic performance, areimportant, but if they becomeall-consuming, they can suckthe joy out of college.
Find what makes you happy,and don’t be afraid to try newthings to do so. Don’t lock your-self into an unhappy pattern,
whether it be in your declaredmajor or your social life.
I came to school planning on being a journalism and publicpolicy major, but I took one his-tory class my first semester andfell in love with it. One of myteaching assistants encouragedme to be a history major. I did,and it’s one of the best decisionsI made in college.
But it’s OK to make mis-takes. I kept my public policymajor and should have keptmy journalism major. Stuff likethat happens, but you can alsofind other avenues to pursue
what you love and start over.That’s how I’m here now,
editing The Daily Tar Heel forthe summer and preparingto take a job that’s perfectlysuited for me: opinion editor.
The same principle appliesto your social life. If you end updrifting away from the people
who you made friends with in your first few weeks of school,it’s OK. This is a big university
with many subcommunities.Odds are you’ll be able to findpeople you’ll love. I’m enteringmy senior year and have madesome of the best friends of myentire life in just the last year.
Cherish the late nightdorm room talks with friends.Brilliant things have come outof them: for instance, the lastcouple years at UNC have seenan anonymous, hyper-specific,Onion-style, humor website
called The Minor. In its brieflife, The Minor put a fingeron the nature of life at thisUniversity, featuring the qualityof work you might expect fromprofessional humor writers. Asit turns out, it was the brainchildof a small group of friends.
Similarly, morally-mindedactivists at this University haveformed networks and brought
visibility to difficult issues likerace that too often have beenignored by the larger Universitycommunity. These activistshave forced real changes andprovoked intense dialogues.
But the cyclical nature ofcollege means these students
will pass on, so it’s up to stu-
dents like you to carry onUNC’s various traditions of
brilliance. You are privileged to be here, so make the most of itthat you can. If you follow yourpassions, you can make thisthe best four years of your life.
Just don’t worry about ittoo much.

Q&A with adviser
Nikki GlenosFootball team to focus on defense
By Jeremy VernonSports Editor
For the North Carolina football team,
the 2014-15 season was defined by itsdefense — and not in a good way.
The Tar Heels allowed 39.0 points pergame, which placed them No. 119 among128 qualified Division-I football teams.
In back-to-back weeks in September, theNorth Carolina defense gave up at least 50points, the first of which was a 70-41 drub-
bing at the hands of East Carolina.More often than not, the UNC defense,
and most notably the team’s secondary,put the Tar Heels in a hole that the offensecouldn’t dig them out of.
In the offseason, North Carolinasearched for a remedy to its defensive
woes and now hopes it has one in the formof new defensive coordinator Gene Chizik.
Chizik was hired back in January toreinvigorate the Tar Heels defensive per-sona. Chizik served as the head coach at
Auburn from 2009-12, where he led theTigers to an undefeated season and anational title in 2010.
From 2002-04, Chizik held the positionof defensive coordinator at Auburn. In2004, the Tigers led the nation in scoringdefense at 11.3 points per game.
Players such as linebackers JeffSchoettmer and Cayson Collins and cor-
nerback Brian Walker will be looked to asthe core of a 4-3 defense that Chizik andCoach Larry Fedora hope will change theteam’s fortune in the fall.
Offensively, the Tar Heels will look tosenior quarterback Marquise Williams tocarry the majority of the load, somethingthe Charlotte native has proved several
times that he is capable of.In 2014-15, Williams accounted for
over 69 percent of North Carolina’s totaloffense and over 63 percent of the team’soffensive touchdowns.
Running backs T.J. Logan, Elijah Hoodand Romar Morris will look to ease thestrain on Williams’ legs through their ownplay. The trio rushed for 1,119 yards and 11touchdowns in 2014-15.
Out wide, North Carolina will lookto several veteran players who have hadreasonable success during their collegecareers. Quinshad Davis, Ryan Switzerand Mack Hollins highlight a receivingcorps that Tar Heel fans believe could beone of the best in the ACC.
Davis, who is recovering from a brokentibia suffered in the Tar Heels’ bowl gamelast season, is tied with Hakeem Nicks for
the school record in receiving touchdownsin a career with 21.
The Tar Heels will kick off the 2015-16season against South Carolina on Sept. 3in Charlotte. This is where the Tar Heelshope a third straight season ending in a
bowl appearance will begin.
The North Carolina footballteam struggled in 2014-15. Nikki Glenos is an academ-
ic adviser in the Fine Arts and Humanities Division in theCollege of Arts and Sciences. Daily Tar Heel Staff Writer Jonathan Ponciano spoke to
Nikki Glenos about schedul-ing advice for freshmen.
Daily Tar Heel: How canundecided students keep theiroptions open?
Nikki Glenos: When I amtalking with undecided stu-dents, I generally encouragethem to look at our academic
worksheets. I say, “Here’s allthe majors we have.” One ofthe simplest ways to makesure you can go on track tomultiple different fields is topick the areas that you think
you’re interested in and haveparallel plans. You can stay ontrack with multiple require-ments while not having to
make up your mind yet. If you’re going to a professionalschool, this is important.Nothing’s guaranteed, but
you can certainly be strategic,and the worksheets are theeasiest way to know what therequirements are for each.That way, you’re not duplicat-
ing things. A lot of studentsdon’t know about them. Theycan be daunting, but once youhave an advising session and
we talk through the work-sheets, they make more sense.
Also, take a class you normal-ly wouldn’t take; it may lead
you down a path you wouldn’thave otherwise expected.
DTH: What about classesthat you need to take yourfirst year?
NG: English 105 is arequirement in the first year.
We generally recommend you also get your LFIT done because so many seats arereserved for freshmen, and
you don’t have the prior-ity later. There are very fewmajors that require you totake anything specifically yourfreshmen year. Some of things
you want to keep in mind
are, if you have an intensescience sequence coming up,go ahead and start with what
you’re placed in. Have a dis-cussion with your advisor toknow where to start based ontest scores. Ask if it’s absolute-

From student organiza-tions to intramural sports tofrat parties, there’s a lot to doon campus.
But there’s an entire worldof entertainment for UNCstudents to explore — right intheir backyard.
For the introverts and theextroverts alike, Chapel Hilland Carrboro are the placesto do just that through a wide
variety of music, theater,comedy and — of course — 18and up bars and clubs.
Bars
Let’s start with what youreally care about. Even if youcan’t legally drink alcohol when
you first come to campus, youcan at least participate in someof the bar culture. Some local
bars are 21 and up only, butothers are more accessible.
One of these is Linda’s,
located on Franklin Street rightacross the street from campus.Linda’s is great because youcan experience Chapel Hillnightlife while munching ondelicious food, like loadedcheese fries and tots.
For a slightly more upscaleexperience, head down thestreet to recently opened TheStrowd, which makes up for itsless-spectacular food selection
with a large dance floor anddisc jockey.
Music
Chapel Hill/Carrboro hasthe best music scene that
you’ve probably never heardof. Cat’s Cradle in Carrborois the cool punk rock uncleof independent and alterna -tive music, bringing everyonefrom Nirvana to Public Enemyto the area in the ’90s, and isknown for booking the coolestup-and-comers.
Local 506 is Cat’s Cradle’s baby — a smaller, more locallyfocused venue but notable allthe same. Local 506 is where
you should go to get in touch with the sound of the area.
Don’t discount opportuni-ties on campus — the musicdepartment almost alwayshas a concert on the horizon,and Carolina Performing Arts
brings world-renowned art-ists weekly to Memorial Hall.
Theater
For the drama enthusi-asts, PlayMakers RepertoryCompany is the school’s profes-sional company, largely com-prised of alumni, and one of
the leading theater companiesin America.
With around 10 shows aseason, PlayMakers offers
world-class theater at pricesaffordable to students.
The Carrboro ArtsCenteris another good venue foraffordable local theater.From one of the manystudent theater groups tocommunity theater, the
ArtsCenter offers a stage toshowcase its players.
Comedy
DSI Comedy Owner Zach Ward is bringing the Chicagocomedy scene to Chapel Hill.
Acclaimed in the comedyscene, DSI offers stand-up andimprov performances as well asclasses for anyone interested inlearning the ways of comedy.

Same-sex marriage becamelegal in North Carolina lastfall when a federal judgestruck down the state’s banknown as Amendment One.
The Asheville-based fed-eral judge found the banunconstitutional, whichimmediately allowed same-sex couples the ability tomarry and gave legal recog-nition for same-sex couplesmarried outside the state.
“With it, we celebrate withso many North Carolinians
who have worked tirelessly
over decades to change hearts,minds and unequal laws inthe state we call home. Love
won, and the barriers to it aredone,” said Chris Sgro, execu-tive director of Equality N.C.
Recently, the N.C.Legislature passed a law thatallows magistrates to choosenot to perform same-sex mar-riages due to a “seriously heldreligious objection.”
Gov. Pat McCrory vetoedthe bill despite his personal
beliefs against same-sex mar-riage. “Whether it is the presi-
dent, governor, mayor, a lawenforcement officer or mag-istrate, no public official who
voluntarily swears to supportand defend the Constitutionand to discharge all duties oftheir office should be exemptfrom upholding that oath,”McCrory said in a state-ment. However, the General
Assembly overturned his veto.North Carolina is the secondstate to have such a law.
On a national scale, theconstitutionality of marriage
bans is being determined by
the Supreme Court. If it rulesagainst the legality of mar-riage bans, same-sex marriage
will effectively be legal in theentire country. A ruling isexpected this month.
Neil Siegel, a law pro-fessor at Duke University,doesn’t believe a ruling infavor of gay marriage will bea fix-all solution.
“The Supreme Court cansettle the marriage issue, butit’s not going to settle the cul-tural debate over gay rights,”he said.

Gov. Pat McCrory, formermayor of Charlotte, was inau-gurated as the governor ofNorth Carolina in 2013. Hisoffice has since changed thecourse of the state’s previouspolitical direction, passingmany conservative measures.He continues to focus on edu-cation and bringing economicgrowth to the state.
Dan Forest, a UNC-Charlotte graduate, is thefirst Republican in his posi-tion in 20 years. He presidesas the president of the N.C.Senate. He is an architect anda member of the N.C. Boardof Education, the N.C. Boardof Community Collegesand the N.C. EconomicDevelopment Board.
Phil Berger, a member ofthe N.C. Senate, representsconstituents from Rockinghamand Guilford counties. The firstRepublican in his position inmore than a century, he waschosen by Senate members in
2010. Berger has his law degreefrom Wake Forest Universityand currently practices inEden, N.C.
Tim Moore, chosen asspeaker of the house bymembers of the N.C. Houseof Representatives for the2015-16 legislative session,represents constituents inCleveland County. Moore,a Republican, graduatedfrom UNC-CH and receivedhis law degree at OklahomaCity University.

EducationFunding to the UNC sys-
tem for the next two yearsis being debated by the N.C.General Assembly after theSenate passed its budgetJune 18.
In a period of concurrence,the N.C. House and Senate
will debate each of their bud-gets to create a final budget.The House proposed over $2
billion in funding to the UNCsystem, while the Senate bud-get amended it to cut $3 mil-lion worth of funding to theUNC School of Law.
Some believe the cut is tar-geted at Gene Nichol, a UNClaw professor, for his criticism
of the General Assembly.“We know that the lead-
ers in the General Assemblyhave been very critical ofProfessor Nichol, his workat the poverty center, hiscommentary and his politi-cal activism,” N.C. Sen. Mike
Woodard, D-Durham, said.“It seemed to me it was aclear shot at Professor Nicholand his work.”
The Senate budget alsoproposes to eliminateall funding to The HuntInstitute, a foundation that
brings policymakers andstakeholders together todevelop policies and pro-
grams that benefit publiceducation.
At the beginning of the year, UNC-system PresidentTom Ross was asked by theBoard of Governors to resign,despite having no preemptivecauses or issues with Ross’ jobperformance.
“The board felt like, atthe appropriate time, thereshould be a transition toa new president, and wehad a timeline that we
were thi nking along, a ndPresident Ross had a dif-ferent timeline, and that’sit,” board chairman JohnFennebresque said.
The Board of Governorsrecently held input sessionsto gather the opinions ofstudents and faculty on whatthey want in Ross’s successor.
Many urged the board tofocus on finding someone
who will be inclu sive wit hfunding and attention to allsystem schools, includingthe five historically blackcolleges.
Others recommendedthe board use Tom Ross asa template for choosing thenext president.
“Please use his qualities asa guideline,“ UNC alumnaNancy Farmer said.
The N.C. General Assembly passed a law on
June 3 that requires womenseeking an abortion to wait72 hours after consulting aphysician before having anabortion.
The waiting period ismeant to give doctors timeto adequately inform theirpatients about the proce-dure, alternative options andassociated risks.
Tami Fitzgerald, theexecutive director of the N.C.
Values Coalition, said thelaw provides women time toconsider their choices andultimate decision.
“It’s a ridiculous accusa -tion that this bill in any way
restricts access to abortion,”Fitzgerald said. “All it does isit allows a woman more timeto think over this importantdecision.”
Shoshannah Sayers, theinterim executive director ofNARAL Pro-Choice NorthCarolina, said she believesthe 72-hour waiting period ismedically unnecessary.
“Telling women that theyneed a three-day timeout
before they’re qualified tomake a medical decisionabout their own bodies is justpaternalistic and insulting,”
Sayers said.Opponents claim the
law contradicts Gov. PatMcCrory’s 2012 campaignpromise not to pass abortionrestrictions because it makesgetting a safe abortion harder,particularly for women ofcolor and women from lower-income backgrounds.
This law is only one ofthe more recent additions toN.C. abortion law. In 2013,North Carolina passed ameasure requiring publicschool sex education toinclude information on therisks of preterm births for
women wh o have ha d an
abortion.The law was passed as an
education bill, but oppo-nents claim it is weakly sup-ported scientifically and isinstead a means of progress-ing the General Assembly’santi-choice agenda.
The abstinence-only cur-riculum of N.C. sex educationshifted toward a compre-hensive curriculum afterthe 2009 Healthy Youth Actpassed.
The current curriculumfocuses on abstinence butincludes information on
birth control and sexuallytransmitted diseases.

DTH editorial board takes stances on campus affairs
The end of the year leftThe Daily Tar Heel’s edito-
rial board asking: Whatdoes Chancellor Carol Foltreally think?
The past year did not lackfor controversy. There wasthe change from SaundersHall to Carolina Hall, the
Wainstein report, politi-cal attacks on centers andinstitutes and other pressingcampus issues.
The UNC community hasoften been left wondering
where the chancellor stands.Instead of addressing
these issues, Folt often steersthe conversation away fromconstructive and critical dia -logue and toward an idealis-tic image of UNC.
We must ask if the job ofour chancellor and the chan-cellor’s office is to respondthoughtfully to studentconcerns or whether it is toappease the forces that con-trol the financial and politi-cal power of the Universitythrough carefully calculatedpublic relations campaigns.
Find out what positions The Daily Tar Heel’s editorial board has taken on some of the most controversial topics at the University.
Chancellor Folt Athletics Carolina Hall Board of Governors Greek life Sexual assault
The majority of student-athletes at UNC appear to
do everything by the book.Nearly all of the blame for
the athletic-academic scan-dal must fall on the institu-tions involved rather than onthe players themselves.
Student-athletes areasked to complete the same
work as non-athletes underthe pressures of hours ofpractice, missed class andphysical exhaustion.
Student-athletes are also working within a larger,multimillion-dollar, nationalorganization, the NCAA,that opposes recognizingathletes’ rights of labor, suchas compensation negotiation.Instead, they propose that
scholarships are compensa -tion enough.
We do not agree. An academic scholarship
should not be consideredcomplete compensation forathletes who make millionsupon millions of dollars forthe NCAA and its memberinstitutions.
This summer has seen theclimax of a yearslong fight
to rename Saunders Hall,a building named after thehead of the North CarolinaKlu Klux Klan.
The building wasrenamed “Carolina Hall,”
which disappointed manyactivists who called forthe building to be named“Hurston Hall” after ZoraNeale Hurston, who theysay secretly took classes hereduring segregation.
While the University’scurrent attitudes aboutrace might have changedto a degree, the racism thatmonuments such as SilentSam represent has not.They continue to be pres-
ent in spaces that studentsof color must navigate,reminders of UNC’s pastand present exploitation ofpeople of color.
The process of recogniz-ing UNC’s history of rac-ism has begun, but it mustcontinue in order for realprogress to be made.
The UNC Board ofGovernors should take seri-
ously the efforts by activistgroups to air grievances abouta range of students’ concerns.
The board rejected thegender-neutral housingcampaign with little expla-nation in 2013, stunningsupporters and makingclear that student concernsgo virtually unheard in the
board’s meetings.Other examples of the
board acting with out stu-dent input include cappingneed-based aid at 15 per-cent of tuition, shorteningthe add-drop class periodand increasing tuition.These are all incidents
when the board has ei ther
ignored or overruled thestudent body’s mandate.
Board members haveencouraged students tospeak with them directlyabout their concerns,though such a gesture seemsempty when the board doesnot adequately representstudent interests.
The past year has beenfilled with coverage of prob-
lems in the Greek system. We hope the future of
Greek life is characterized by proactive approaches.Problems should beaddressed the day before,rather than the day after, they
become media sensations.Greek issues are student
issues, but the nature ofGreek organizations tendsto keep non-Greek studentpopulations from under-standing or engaging withdiscussions in which theyall have a stake.
To be sure, the costsof greater inclusivity andtransparency could includerethinking the values that
define Greek organizationsand yielding some controlover membership. This is nosmall sacrifice.
But we believe that as longas Greek societies continueto exist, the sanctity of theirsecrecy must take a back seatto ensuring they do no harmto their campus communities.
UNC has been credited as anational leader in its response
to campus sexual assaults.This can be attributed tothe work activists and advo-cates have done to make theUniversity a safer place.
Programs and initiativeslike One Act and ProjectDinah, in addition to therestructuring of UNC’sresponse to reports of sexualand interpersonal violence,have provided increased sup-port for survivors.
Still, we tend to treatcases of sexual misconductas naturally occurring phe-nomena instead of treatingthem as violent crimes.
In the frequent absence ofphysical evidence, accusers’
testimonies must stand alone.For this reason and others,sexual misconduct policiesare difficult to prosecute.
This situation contributesto highly dangerous envi-ronments if the responsibleinstitutions are not equippedto remove these perpetratorsfrom campus.

Dear freshmen: you’ll be fineCOLUMN
I want to tell you threethings: Everyone is fakingit, crying is awesome and
your professors are people.Everyone at UNC is faking
it. We’re studying, but we’realso going on fun adventures
with our friends. And we’reorganizing charity runs. And working at the animal shelter.
If it seems like everyoneelse is making all these newfriends in the first few weeksof school — they’re sure ashell faking it. I promise. Everymovie and television showtells you that the start of col-lege is a dream — the time
you’ll meet your lifelong bestfriends, your forever boo. Andthat’s possible, but often thefirst few weeks are lonely.They involve a lot of awkwardtrips to Rams Head DiningHall. You have training wheelfriends, and it feels like every-one around you is having the
time of their life.I want you to know thatcrying can be great. The firsttime I cried at UNC was aFriday night. I missed myparents and wished they’d callme more often.
I found a quiet place in thestairwell of my dorm becauseI didn’t want my roommateLogan to see me cry. She wasso sweet, but we still tiptoedaround each other. I came backto my room and Logan men-tioned in passing that she’d
friends to tell them. I did okayon the exam, too.
I want you to know that your professors are peopletoo. So if you’re going througha tough time, don’t be afraidto head to office hours and
talk to them.Last January, whenmy grandfather died of
Alzheimer’s, I had to missclass for his funeral. I was
worried professors wouldlaugh it off as another “deadgrandparent excuse.” ButI emailed them anyway,explaining the situation.Several professors respondedto extend their condolencesand share that they too hadlost a loved one to the disease.
If you’re feeling over- whelmed, depressed or a nx-ious, take a chance and talkto your professors about it.It’s possible they might give
you a curt response or say
something rude.But please don’t assumethat’s the only outcome.Talking to your professorsabout tough things that areholding you back in class is the
best way to turn a semesteraround. Maybe that professorhas battled with depressiontoo. Maybe they have dealt
with parents’ separation andunderstand the upheaval itcauses, even for college stu-dents. Maybe they’ve dealt withaddiction and understand thedifficulty of recovery. Take achance on them. You’ll be okay.
Alice WilderSummer Opinion Editor
cried earlier in the day. I real-ized this feeling — lonelinessand sadness — was allowed. Irealized this was okay to talkabout. After that day, Loganand I started to share more andrealized we both ended up cry-ing on Fridays. “Cryday Friday”
was born. When you enter UNC at
orientation, there are signseverywhere that say “WelcomeHome!” People around youproclaim that every day is a“Great Day to Be a Tar Heel!”
Sometimes UNC doesn’tfeel like home for a while. For
me, it didn’t begin to feel likehome until I cried in front ofmy roommate.
Another thing about crying:happy, excited tears happenall the time at UNC too. Likethe night before an 8 a.m. finalexam. I couldn’t fall asleepand was annoyed that I’d endup going to my exam tired.But that night — the nightI wanted to go to sleep at 8p.m. — was the night Beyoncedropped her self-titled album. Icried tears of disbelief and hap-piness. I jumped up and downin the hallway and called all my

When Kaitlyn Johnson’slung collapsed during exam
week last year, exams werethe last thing on her mind.
Johnson, a junior biologymajor, went to the Office ofthe Dean of Students for help,and they were able to help herpostpone her exam dates.
“They definitely made itas stress-free as possible,”she said. “I’m just reallythankful that they were sonice and understandingabout ever ything.”
The Office of the Dean ofStudents provides many servic-es for students, like academichelp during crises, as well as afinancial literacy program and
veteran support services.“We’re the starting point
to figure out what differentoptions students can take,”
said Emily Gaspar, assistantdean of students. “We reallyhelp students with everything.”
If students need to missclass due to an illness, family
issue or other incident, thedean of students can helpnotify professors.
“I know that can be astressful situation for first-
year students,” said DesireeRieckenberg, senior dean of
students. “We can take thatoff their shoulders.”
The Office of the Deanof Students will hold sev -eral events for the financialliteracy program in the fallto teach students financialskills like budgeting and
building credit.The office is also the main
point of contact for veteransor military-affiliated students,
working to help them transi-tion to life on campus.
“Our office is one of thefew offices that serves everysingle student on campus,”Rieckenberg said. “So itdoesn’t matter if it’s your firstday on campus or not, we’re
still going to be there alongthe way.”
The office is also a pri- vate resource for students toreport sexual harassment or
gender-based discrimination.The office can take steps withthe Equal Opportunity andCompliance Office to helpstudents, such as providingrestraining orders or chang-ing housing assignments or
class schedules.The many services of the
Office of the Dean of Studentscan sometimes be masked byits name, Gaspar said.
“It can sound intimidat-ing,” she said. “‘The Deanof Students’ sounds moreauthoritative, and that’s notour intent at all.”
Rieckenberg said theOffice of the Dean ofStudents is a “one-stop shop”of sorts for student resources.If students aren’t sure whereto find what they need,Rieckenberg encourages stu-dents to reach out.
“Our office serves as a beginning point of contact for
any student that has a ques-tion or concern or is needingsome assistance in navigatingthe University,” she said.
Students can get in contact
O≠ice of the Dean of Students exists to help
with the Office of the Deanof Students through regular
walk-in hours in SASB Northor emailing [email protected].
Rieckenberg encouragesstudents to take advantageof these resources through
the office.“My biggest piece of
advice is to ask for help,”Rieckenberg said. “Don’t beafraid to ask for help or askquestions.”
“I think Carolina is one of
those campuses that if youask a question, we’re going to
do everything in our power tomake sure that you get where
you need to go.”

Dorm decor: do’s and don’tsFace it — your dorm room
isn’t home, but that doesn’tmean it can’t be homey!Don’t get too crazy, though —college is temporary, and soare your dorm rooms. Don’t
stress too much.That being said, we havesome tips for you. Give yourdorm a face-lift with thesecouple of cheap tricks.
It won’t take much to adda little color to your dormthrough wall accessories, arug or even your bedspread.
Add colors and patterns!Personalize your space withpictures and things you like.Make it your home away fromhome by bringing your per-sonal style to life.
Since you are living in adorm room, there isn’t toomuch space to work with,especially if you have aroommate. Therefore, the
trick is to stay away fromhaving a bunch big itemsthat clutter the space. You
want to keep the functi onal-ity of the space — you’re justsprucing it up.
Have a couple of big itemslike a sofa or extra chair,then stick to the small stuff.
You get bonus poin ts if theitems are multifunctional.
For example, pillows arean easy and comfortable wayto customize your space, andthey do double the work asdecoration and functionalfloor cushions. All your newfriends will thank you forsaving their butts when theycome over.
If there isn’t a lot of space
to spread out your things, go vertica l. Make a cheap ta p-estry by hanging a cool scarfon your wall.
If you decide not to loft your bed, you’ ll have plenty
of space to decorate the wall beside your bed. If you ma kethe decision to loft, then
you’ll have space beneath itto personalize.
With a lofted bed, youcan hang small things fromthe bottom of the mattress,like lights or ornaments. Youcould even create a comfynook by hanging a sheetdown over the opening —
bam, instant privacy! Throw your pillows under there andadd a blanket, and you’ll havethe perfect space for a Netflixmarathon or a study session
with your textbooks.The key thing to remember
is you are a college student
now. Don’t spend all yourmoney on making the dormroom fantastic because text-
books are costly. Use things you already have at home.
Enlist your friends andrelatives to help you glamup your space. Do they havea rug they don’t want or toomany Christmas lights? Thriftstores have a wide variety ofcheap items that you can useto bolster your personal style.
Don’t be afraid to thinkoutside the box to find thingsthat fit your decorating needs.
As long as it works for you(and doesn’t go against dormroom policies), do it!
DTH/KYLE HODGES
DTH/KYLE HODGES
DO
• Pick out a soft rug that willfeel great when your air con-
ditioner is on the fritz or just
during those frosty snow days(don’t forget to check out a
vacuum every once in a while).
• Wall art will break the mo-notony of beige in your dorm.
Try mixing up the sizes or
creating a gallery wall that’ll
draw attention away from the
cinder blocks.
• Try adding some lights tothe room. Sure, there’s one
big light on the ceiling, but it
doesn’t have the same oomph
as fairy lights or those string
lights with the colored bulbs.
•Hang some cool curtains
for some added privacy and
personalization.
• Mirrors make the spaceseem larger and help you
prepare for the day ahead.
• Check with your room-mate before decorating the
entire room. Keep to your
side unless they agree that
you have mad design skills
and can beautify the space.
DON’T
• You’re going to be movingin and out of dorm rooms,
so don’t make it harder onyourself by having a lot of
unwieldy or fragile t hings.
• Don’t add so much thatyou can’t use your desk.
Leave a little room for those
textbooks you should be
reading.
• Don’t go overboard withcolors and patterns. Yeah,
you want to spice up the
place, but you also have to
sleep there. Also, too many
patterns will hurt your eyes
when you’re still awake finish-
ing that essay you should’ve
started weeks ago.
• When in doubt, just don’t.If you think the piece might
not fit or that it would be
awkward in the space, just
leave it at home.
• Don’t fret. It might not lookgreat at the beginning, but
things accumulate over time.
You won’t have to do much to
get it looking good once you
start getting a feel for what
the space needs.

UNC arts leaders sharehow they got involved

PHOTO COURTESY OF CHRIS BURRUS
When my first year came, I went to thetryouts for Bhangra Elite because I lovedthe energy and style of the team. Now,as a rising senior, this will be my third
year as a captain for the team. Being onBhangra Elite has allowed me to meetother dancers, artists and performersthroughout campus.
The arts community at our school is socollaborative and enriching. Everyone ishoping for the best for everyone else. Infact, people go out of their way to teachand help others as well as learn stylescompletely different of their own.
Chris Burrus,vocal performance major
Carolina is a special place in thatit not only allows you to investigate
what your ambitions in life may be, buteveryone on the campus encourages andpushes for individuality.
I joined the UNC Clef Hangers and was able to sing in setti ngs I woul dhave never believed, including travel-ing to New Orleans, Philadelphia andMexico.
Looking back on this year, the onlyreason I was able and willing to explore somany aspects of the UNC experience wasdue to the open arms of the community.
My advice for getting involved in the-ater at UNC is to sign up for listservs,apply for positions, audition for showsand ask questions. That’s what I did, anda year later I found myself producingshows, surrounded by a talented commu-nity of fellow students who love to create,perform and, most of all, have fun.
What I love about Company Carolinais that it is structured like a real-worldtheater company. There is a place foreveryone, so don’t hesitate to get involvedand gain firsthand theatrical experience
with a great group of friends.

Cat’s Cradle: A local treasure trove
By Sarah VasselloArts & Culture Editor
Anyone in the Triangle will tell you — Cat’s Cradle isan institution.
“Even if (touring bands are)only playing Nashville, New
York, Atlanta, that kind ofthing, they’ll still stop at theCradle — they know it’s theepicenter of a great music area.It’s kind of symbolic, like theStatue of Liberty for the rock’n’ roll scene of the Triangle.
The Caveand Local506 arelike EllisIsland,”
said OldCeremonyfrontmanDjangoHaskins ina previousinterview.
TheChapelHill-basedgroup went
to great lengths to keep theirdebut performance at the
venue on Sept. 9, 2011, which was a major goal of theirsand every independent musicgroup across the country.
“I had a kidney stone. The band was setting up equip-ment, and I’d been injected
with all these painkillers,”Haskins said. “I could barelymove my eyes. We did theshow, just because that’s howmuch I love the Cradle. I didn’t
want to miss the show so badlythat I still had the hospital arm
band on.”This love for the Cradle is
fueled by a legacy of coolnessfor about 40 years. Here aresome of the biggest acts thathave come to Cat’s Cradle.
The over 40-year-oldmusic venue draws
major acts.
Django Haskinsis a songwriterbased in Durham,NC. He sings andplays guitar for OldCeremony.

Down went the Tar
Heels. As the NorthCarolina men’s basketballteam walked off the court in itsNCAA tournament loss against
Wisconsin, one thing was forsure: these Tar Heels would be
back.Except for J.P. Tokoto, the
Tar Heels are back in fullforce. The unit, which fell
just short of the Elite Eight,returns four starters andan array of potential game-changers next year.

comings, especially securing
and shooting the ball, there’sno question the kid can flatout fly. The Tar Heels will missTokoto’s ability to lift the crowdoff its feet in a flash, somethingno statistic can illustrate.
Nevertheless, Tokoto’sdeparture has opened upcrucial minutes for a numberof Tar Heels looking to comeinto their own, all of whichcan contribute to the NorthCarolina 2015-16 campaign.
One notable addition isa lethal shooter in Kenny
Williams. The former Virginia
Commonwealth University
commit had a change of heartlate and flipped his commit-ment to UNC, and the TarHeels welcomed him with openarms. They need the shooting.
For now, all eyes are onJustin Jackson. Jackson’sascent last season was asight to see, and the risingsophomore likely would have
been drafted, but fortunatelyfor Coach Roy Williams andcompany, Jackson is back andready to ball.
With a year under his belt,Jackson’s length and shoot-
ing ability have him poised to
flourish in a starting positionthat is his to lose.It seems UNC worked past
its “beat Kentucky, lose toBelmont” phase last year, butthere are still major questionsto be asked about the team’sconsistency. Jackson will help.
More important, perhaps,than Jackson’s developmentcould be sophomore TheoPinson’s ability to stay healthy.
If Pinson can put togethera Jackson-esque coming ofage next year, the Tar Heel
backcourt will be both a joy to
watch and a coach’s nightmare
to play — but Pinson needs tostay out of injury trouble. As long as Roy Williams
holds the whiteboard, UNC will likely always hang its haton post-presence. Senior BriceJohnson and junior KennedyMeeks look to keep it that way.
The talent of the two isundeniable, but one questionmust be asked: Will Meeks andJohnson be the one-two punchUNC has been begging for?
If so, the Tar Heels betterstart making room on theirtrophy shelf.

Read about the biggest local stories of 2014-15
On Feb. 10, three students were shot andkilled in a condominium in Chapel Hill. The
victims were Deah Barakat, 23, a student atUNC’s School of Dentistry; Yusor Abu-Salha,21, his wife and future UNC dentistry student;and Razan Abu-Salha, 19, Yusor Abu-Salha’ssister and a student at N.C. State University.
The day after the shooting, Chapel Hillresident Craig Hicks was arraigned on threecounts of first-degree murder in connectionwith the killing. In the days that followed,students and community members mournedthe deaths of the three students. On Feb. 11,thousands of mourners gathered at the Pit, onUNC’s campus, to attend a vigil for the shoot-ing victims. Deah Barakat’s brother, Farris
Barakat, spoke at the vigil. “We are going tocry because we miss them,” he said. “I don’tknow what I’m going to do on Saturday morn-ings when it’s time for family breakfast.”
Rogers Road Community Center opens
In June, the Chapel Hill Town Councilapproved an agreement for a 1.5 million-square-foot mixed-use development in south-ern Chapel Hill after a six-year discussion anddebate. Many residents were concerned aboutthe impact the development might have ontraffic in the area. The development will be
built over the course of 20 years.At the June 15 meeting where the agree-
ment was approved, council member DonnaBell said it was finally time to move forwardwith the project.
“We are at a moment to make a decision,”she said. “This is either the plan, or it’s not theplan. If it is, accept that it is.”
Jennifer Newell, a Chapel Hill resident, saidshe was disappointed in the council’s decision.
“I have felt over the past five years that wehave to look after ourselves,” she said. “Andit’s disappointing.”
The Rogers Road neighborhood, whichis located on the border of Chapel Hill and
Carrboro, is a historically black and low-incomecommunity. The neighborhood housed OrangeCounty’s landfill for 40 years, from 1972 to 2013.At the time of the landfill’s creation, the countypromised to provide water and sewer servicesfor residents in need in the area as well as a com-munity center. In November, the communitycenter opened. The water and sewer hook upshave yet to be provided, but Chapel Hill andCarrboro are working with the county to figureout how to fund and distribute these services.
At the opening of the center, the Rev. RobertCampbell, a longtime Rogers Road resident,said he was excited to finally see progress.
“It’s a signal of hope that possibilities canbecome realities,” he said. “I have tears in myeyes that want to come out, but I’m holdingthem in.”
In April, construction fences went up aroundthe site on Franklin Street formerly known asUniversity Square. Having been bought byUNC’s real estate arm, the site will soon be trans-formed into Carolina Square, a mixed-use devel-opment. The development is scheduled to becompleted in spring of 2017. Granville Towers, a
group of residence facilities for students locatedright behind the Carolina Square site, will besomewhat affected by the construction.
“We expect that the impact to Granvilleresidents and neighbors will be the same asit’s been on and around campus during othervarious construction projects, including thosethat have happened close to other residencehalls,” , said Kelly Stasko, general managerof Granville Towers. “Except for the pool andbasketball court going away, the amenitiesand services we offer to make this a greatcommunity for students won’t change.”
This past year, the Inter-Faith Council for SocialService has been making progress on a new
men’s homeless shelter that will replace the cur-rent location on Rosemary Street. The new shel-ter will be twice the size of the current space andis slated to open in mid-September. In October,the IFC held a meeting where it described cer-tain delays the organization had been facing inthe construction of the shelter, which was origi-nally scheduled to be completed in early springof 2015. The organization is now making prog-ress on the new shelter, the total cost of which isestimated to be about $4 million.
“Right now you’ve got 40 people, and if youwant to go outside, you can go outside and sit inthe parking lot,” IFC construction manager Peter
Kamel said of the shelter’s current location.“There are walking paths, facilities where
they can get outside and actually have somesolitude instead of mingling with the traffic.”
Historically, the Northside neighborhood wasthe largest black community in Chapel Hill. Butstarting in 2000, the black population in thecommunity decreased by almost 25 percentover the next 10 years as landlords acquiredproperties in Northside and rented them out tostudents at prices many families couldn’t afford.
In March, UNC announced it was giving a$3 million loan to Self-Help Credit Union, aDurham nonprofit, to help with the acquisi-tion and resale of Northside properties toincrease the number of families and home-owners in the neighborhood.
Northside resident Kathy Atwater talkedabout the benefits the loan could bring.
“It is an opportunity for our community tobe what it is intended to be: a community oflife, of vitality, of family, of coming together,”she said. “I am standing on the shoulders ofthose who paved the way for us.”

Be like me and dress better
Ashirt speaks athousand words.That is, unless the
only word printed on it is“CAROLINA.”
Don’t get me wrong; I’m
all for school spirit and TheCarolina Way. The thing is,though, there’s definitelya line that’s crossed when
your e ntire wardrobe con-sists of college T-shirts and“comfortable” shorts.
Sure, I understand thatsometimes making an effortto look nice is hard. We’ve all
been there.Essentially wearing the
same thing every day, though,is not only monotonous anddistasteful but also a com-pletely wasted opportunity toexpress yourself.
When I left high school, I was excited to enter a worldthat consisted of people with
unique styles and views, to be influenced and inspired by what others found to befashionable.
Boy, was I disappointed when I walked around cam-pus to see everyone basicallydressed the same way.
Think about it. Honestly, itdoesn’t take that much effortto look good. All you have todo is spend five minutes eachnight or morning laying outan outfit for the day.
I first discovered the bow tie.It sparked a thing that I liketo call Bow Tie Wednesday, atradition I’ve kept alive eversince. It’s even kind of mytrademark now.
The thing is, though, I’vedabbled in other style sec-tions. Prep, punk, vintage— you name it, I’ve worn it.Or at the very least, I want to
wear it.The fashion world is one
full of doors that hide endlesspossibilities.
I have accepted discover-ing these as my life’s mission.Maybe you should, too.
What I’m trying to say isthat you shouldn’t give intothe routine of not caring.
These red, brick paths are your runway — just be carefulnot to trip when showing offthe fashion enthusiast I know
you can be.

And the thing is, this isonly necessary the first fewtimes.
Eventually you’ll be ableto tell what you want to wear
with what, and dressingin something other than aT-shirt and running shorts orpastels on pastels (on pastels)
will become second nature.I was lucky enough to dis-
cover my clothing niche — inother words, my main area ofconcentration — when I was asophomore in high school.
Ah, throwback to the year
They made me write a titleCOLUMN
Hello parents. Thiscommunity will cor-rupt your children.
They will return to you notthe smiling naive young high
schoolers they once were, but rigid, strong, fierce social justice warriors. This may befrightening. What will hap-pen when they come backhome over fall break usingnewfangled lingos? How will
you deal with their nuanced views on the best bagel at Alpine or which coffee placenear the Pit is the best deal?
How will you learn tocope with the overwhelm-ingly large amount of slangterms like: Union, UL, RamsHead and Davis? What willNana think when your youngadult holds their own againstUncle Rudolph’s so called“problematic” views?
A kid’s table won’t beenough to hold back theirloud, unhindered voices, and
you’d better believe that ifthere is a kid’s table, a conflictand potential revolution oversovereign control is nigh.
Everything, from whatside the peas are on to howthe turkey is brought to thetable will be under scrutiny.There will be blood, tears andmaybe some defused plasma.
If this is your first child to
that corrupts them. It will beme, me alone, the lone wolf,the radical leftist, the thing ofnightmares and young aca -demic’s dreams.
I may never get to know your kids, but that doesn’tmatter. My pictures willdisplay to them subverted,subconscious and socialistideologies.
Their minds will be moldedcompletely, without contest.
The best thing you can doat this point is hope. Hopethat my parking ticket countgets too high and I can nolonger drive to work. Hopethat my camera breaks or thatsome other sensible editortakes control of pictures. Or
you can hope that your sonsand daughters use some ofthat brain they collected toget here.
As you are probably aware, your kids have some prettycollected opinions already.Or at least I was aware o f myolder sister’s opinions beforeshe left to college.
Let them develop thoseopinions. Let them question
your age-old traditions, andlet them laugh at the deliciouslamb gravy you put on yourchops, and watch them sneakinto the fridge later that nightto put it on a biscuit.

go to college, you might bethinking something alongthese lines: “Thank you,Daily Tar Heel photo editor!Now with this new under-standing of the college condi-tion and symptoms of TheCarolina Way, I can halt thistransformation.”
You might be thinking thatthrough constant care pack-ages and pictures of the housecat or dog, your young profes-sional will be tempted to stayclear of the liberally minded
hippies on campus.Those damned hippies
with their views on granolarights and vegan cocaine.
However, the sad truth ofthe matter is this: you can’thalt change, real change. Notthe stuff found in your pock-ets or the stuff David Bowieand previous presidentspromised.
The real sad, real truth andreal talk of the matter is this:it won’t be the community

Explore ChapelHill for yourself
W hen I left my ori-entation last June,I was convinced I
made the wrong choice forcollege.
From icebreakers to awk - ward ge t-to-kn ow-you factsharing, orientation pre-sented itself as my personalpurgatory.
When my dad and Ihit I-85 headed back toCharlotte, relief swelledfrom every pore that I
wouldn’ t have to do another“rah-rah” chant for at leasttwo more months.
If orientation was anyindication, college wouldmake me want to crawl out
my own eyelids.I hoped that the remainderof summer would go by asslowly as the two-day orien-tation went; August couldnever come as far as I wasconcerned.
But UNC is a world of itsown; I just needed to be sub-merged in its contradictionsto truly understand that.
If you’re reading this andhappen to be struggling whileat orientation, I want you toknow it’s not too late to havean amazing first year.
It just took getting tocampus to realize that myorientation experience wasin no way indicative of my
first-year experience. At orientation , I felt iso-lated while everyone seemedto be making friends andsetting themselves up for the
best year ever. However, con- veying the true co llege expe-rience is impossible in 48hours of shuffling from oneUNC landmark to the next.In fact, two semesters is justscratching the surface.
When I got to campus, Ilearned the UNC experience
was to be made; it wasn’tgoing to be found throughsilly cheers and first-weekguidebooks or even largeclusters of immediate friendsmade at orientation.
Orientation doesn’t pre-pare you for the incredible
things that happen dur-ing your first year, like ’90sdances, coed fraternities, suit-emate bonding, surges of self-discovery, Buns and manyother quintessential experi-ences that aren’t necessarilyclassic UNC traditions.
It also doesn’t prepare you for the oth er things
that aren’t so amazing, likegetting Davis and Wilsonlibraries confused, the gru-eling 20 minute walk toHinton James, showing upat 9 p.m. to a party or evengetting a meal plan too bigto actually make sense to
your eat ing hab its.Orientation sessions are
built to be so general thatthey can’t possibly cater toevery personality type. Itturned out that my orienta -tion happened when I got toschool: I found my way on myown, on my own terms. Noicebreaker or fun fact coulddetermine what my experi-ence was going to be.
I was over my head at ori-entation — and at times, myfirst year was like that, bu
