experienced that before, but thats impossible because when was the
last time you even saw a train, let alone hijacked it?
Were you also a mouse? If so, you mightve been the subject of a
recent experiment involving implanting false memories in the minds of mice
except Im not sure what you were doing robbing a train.
Then again, mouse brains and human ones are remarkably similar, apparently,
so its only so long before scientists get the chance to start really being creative!

The Universitystop two turn over
By Megan Cassellaand Jordan Bailey
Senior Writers
JULY 4 July 1 markedthe beginning of a newadministrative era for theUniversity, with the top twopositions turning over intonew hands.
Dartmouths Carol Foltmoved into the chancellorspot a position that, for herpredecessor, was plagued by aseries of stringent budget cutsand ever-unfolding scandals.
Her job also brings withit a $520,000 yearly salary an increase from formerChancellor Holden Thorps$432,600 as well as threefederal investigations sur-
rounding the Universityshandling of sexual assaultand a State Bureau ofInvestigation probe into theDepartment of African and
Afro-American Studies.Down the hall, former
dean of the Kenan-FlaglerBusiness School Jim Deantook the helm as executive
vice chancellor and provost,earning $445,000 anincrease from former ProvostBruce Carneys $350,000.
For Folt, the recent scru-tiny UNC has faced is atestament to its legacy. Andits something, she said, that
will prove only to strengthenthe University as it moves
forward.(UNC) has held itself to a
very high standard through-out its life, so I think its verydifficult when you face a chal-lenge because you aspire forthat standard, she said.
Its been really difficultfor people, and I think thatsactually to its credit.
If people didnt care, thatwould be a bad sign.
A new leaders first steps
With the nations first pub-lic university firmly withinher grasp, the former leaderof a private institution said
her first steps will involvemeeting with a number of dif-ferent people and groups oncampus.
Mostly, she said, she hopesto maintain the values andtraditions UNC alreadystands for.
(UNC) invented what auniversity could be, and it hasthe opportunity to continueto reinvent it with every gen-eration, with a legacy thatmaintains that kind of excel-lence, Folt said.
I think, at its core, thatis what we should wake upevery day thinking about.
Jay Smith, a history profes-sor who has been at the fore-
front of faculty discussions onrestoring academic integrity,said there are a number ofissues currently gnawing atthe heart of the Universitysintegrity. He said an openacknowledgement of thoseproblems at the start wouldset a positive tone.
I have a feeling that therehasnt been enough ventilationin South Building over thepast few years, Smith said.
(Folt) could make a dif-ference by signaling that shehas an open-door policy, thatshe will listen to anyone whohas problems to discuss, thatshe will reward truth-tellers
instead of intimidating themor trying to keep them silent,
which has happened aroundhere.
Folt has indicated that shehopes to have conversationsabout past scandals movingforward but that she recog-nizes there are other aspects ofthe University to address, too.
For me, the most impor-tant things arent thoseissues, Folt said. Theyrereally students what arethey loving about their expe-rience, and what are theyexcited about doing?
The second-in-command
As Jim Dean reflected onhis first day as executive vicechancellor and provost, hesaid he was humbled.
After 16 years, I kneweverything about how(Kenan-Flagler BusinessSchool) worked, he said.
I have an awful lot to learnabout how things work in thisrole. Ive gone from an expertto a novice overnight.
He said he was excited tobegin working with Folt.
I think when you have thismuch change in the top, youhave a rare opportunity todecide where the Universityshould go.
dth/chris conway
Jim Dean, former dean of the Kenan-Flagler Business School,
took over as provost July 1. He joined new Chancellor Carol Folt.

New probe openedon sexual assault
Gambill reviewexposes system flaws
By Megan CassellaSummer Editor
JUNE 13 An externalreview of the Landen GambillHonor Court case detailed
weaknesses in the UniversitysHonor System and calledinto question the merits of anentirely student-run court.
Rutgers professor BarbaraLees investigation found thatthe student handling the case
was insufficiently trained andadvised, leading her to bringforward a charge that waspotentially unconstitutional.
I believe that theUniversitys decision to del-egate both the content of theHonor Code and the disciplin-ary process to a student-con-trolled and administered pro-cess is very problematic, Lee
wrote in her report, obtainedby The Daily Tar Heel.
In February, Gambill, thena sophomore, faced an HonorCourt charge for engaging inintimidating behavior towardher ex-boyfriend.
Gambill said the charges,filed by her ex-boyfriend,
were retaliatory and violatedher First Amendment rights.She filed a federal complaintagainst the University inMarch.
Lee found no evidence ofretaliation by the University,
but her report provideddetails of how the chargesagainst Gambill developed.
The report states when theHonor Court charge was filed,it fell under the graduate andprofessional student attor-ney generals jurisdiction todetermine whether there wassubstantial evidence to bringit in front of the court thestandard procedure.
She stated that she wasworried about the media fall-out and how (Gambill) mightperceive the charge as retalia-tion, the report reads.
The report states thestudent attorney general, inmaking her decision, soughtguidance from a number ofadministrators, includingJudicial Programs OfficerErik Hunter. Lee reportedthat Hunter told her hethought evidence for thecharge was thin but hedid not intervene because hefelt he was unable to do so.
The student attorney gen-eral told Lee she would haveliked to speak with Dean ofStudents Jonathan Sauls as
well, but couldnt because hewould have been involved inthe appeals process.
Neither Sauls nor Hunterresponded to requests forcomment.
The student attorney gen-
eral ultimately decided tobring the charge before thecourt.
She said that she didntreally want to charge thestudent with an Honor Code
violation, but thought sheshould, the report states.
According to the report,after her decision was made,the systems structure pre-
vented University admin-istrators from overrulingit illustrating the lack ofadministrative control Leefound concerning.
Anna Sturkey, incom-ing undergraduate studentattorney general, said in anemail that it it is the admin-istrations not the studentattorney generals respon-sibility to intervene if theconstitutionality of a chargeis in question, as it was in thiscase.
Vice Chancellor forStudent Affairs WinstonCrisp said he hopes this case
will establish that the admin-istration needs to exercise itsduty to intervene if there areconcerns about constitution-ality raised in the future.
This is about making surethe system itself and the pro-
visions under which it oper-ates has constitutional mus-ter, he said. I need to protectstudents in that arena.
By Megan CassellaSummer Editor
JULY 11 Despite apre-emptive external reviewcompleted by the Universitymonths ago, a third fed-eral investigation regardingUNCs handling of sexualassault cases looms.
In a letter to the UniversityJune 24, the Office of CivilRights announced it wouldopen a probe investigating
whether the University retaliat-ed against Landen Gambill, thestudent who faced an HonorCourt charge that claimed shecreated a hostile environmentfor her ex-boyfriend, who sheaccused of raping her.
The office acknowledgedthe Universitys recent stepsto investigate Gambillsclaims but said it was opening
its own probe to determinewhether UNCs resolution dismissing the charge andsuspending the Honor Courtprovision it fell under metits own regulatory standards.
The probe was promptedby a complaint Gambillfiled March 25 stating theUniversity retaliated againsther on two occasions whenit assigned her ex-boyfriendto a residence hall near herown, and when it allowed theHonor Court charge to be
brought against her.The investigation will
examine both claims.The University hired
Rutgers professor Barbara Leeto investigate the claims. Leesaid she found no evidence ofretaliation though Gambill
would not speak with her but had qualms about the stu-
dent-run Honor Court system.Gambill said she was look-
ing forward to this latestfederal investigation nowthe third of its kind ongoingat UNC and she was happythe Office of Civil Rights wasinvestigating her complaint.
When the University hired(Lee) to do the investigation,theres obviously an incentivethere not to find anythingthat condemns the University,
because theyre the ones foot-ing the bill, she said.
Chancellor Carol Folt wasnot available for comment,
but University spokeswomanKaren Moon said in an emailthat the University is reviewingthe matter and will cooperatefully with the investigation.
According to the Officeof Civil Rights website,the maximum punishmentthe University could face iffound guilty would be a lossof federal funding from theDepartment of Education.
But in most cases, theoffice will ask the universityto voluntarily commit to fix-ing the noncompliance andprevent it moving forward.
Jim Bradshaw, a spokes-man for the Department ofEducation, said the o fficeaims to wrap up investiga-tions within six months.

Task force examines sexual assault policiesBy Andy Willard
Senior Writer
An array of leaders in theChapel Hill community have
been working this summerto rewrite the Universitys
Honor Code and make UNC aleader in the national discus-sion on sexual violence acrossthe nation.
The Universitys SexualAssault Task Force a21-member group commis-sioned by former ChancellorHolden Thorp last spring has been meeting weeklysince May to examine flaws inhow the University handlesreports of sexual assault.
Whether you like it ornot, UNC-Chapel Hill, youare at the forefront of chang-ing the conversation, saidGina Smith, a sexual violenceexpert hired by the University,at the groups first meeting.
The committee was formedin response to allegations ofthe Universitys mishandlingof sexual assault cases, whichled to three federal investiga-tions.
Interim Title IX
Coordinator Christi Hurt isserving as the chairwomanof the committee reviewingthe policies, and said herpriority in guiding the taskforce is to ensure all voicesare heard.
Theres a lot of coordina-tion I see myself doing alongthe way, she said.
The group was slated todeliver its recommendationsto former Equal Opportunity/
ADA Officer Ann Penn, whoappointed the task force andparticipated in the groupsfirst three meetings.
But at one meeting in June,
Terri Phoenix, director of theLGBTQ Center, and severalother members of the groupraised concerns about thepower dynamics in the room.
Phoenix said Penns pres-ence was problematic because
she held a position thatinvolved running the officethat was supposed to imple-ment the groups recommen-dations.
Penn left mid-meeting toallow the group to continue
discussions without her, andretired from the Universitythree weeks later. She said herleaving was unrelated to thetask forces meeting.
When the group recon-vened in July, Hurt imple-mented a new system.
She said the recommen-dations will now go directlyto Chancellor Carol Folt instead of through the EqualOpportunity Office who
will review the groups recom-mendations.
Hurt said so far duringmeetings, the task force hasexplored all the situationsthat could arise in a com-plaint and the nuances in the
language used in the policy.She said they hope to have
recommendations completeby the time students return inthe fall.
Gina Smith, whose exper-tise is in helping universities
comply with federal law,signed a $160,000 contract
with the University to reviewthe policies in question overan eight-month period end-ing in September.
Deputy Title IX
Coordinator and task forcemember Ew Quimbaya-
Winship explained the cur-rent system for reportingsexual assault complaints ata meeting in July, pointingout that complainants arerequired to retell their experi-ence multiple times during
the process.But Quimbaya-Winship
said he was unsure whetherthey should rewrite the entireappendix on sexual assault,or make changes to certainsections.
I dont think theres aneasy answer to that, he said.
It still needs more atten-tion from top to bottom.
Ann
Penn, theUniversitysEqualOpportunityOfficer, retiredat the end ofJuly.

JUNE 20 Friends andfamily are mourning the lossof Xuezhou Nan, who diedJune 13 from injuries after
being hit by a falling treeon Franklin Street during astorm.
Nan, a UNC sophomorefrom Cary, was known asJulia. She was 20.
At UNC, Nan was majoringin biology and psychology andhad enough academic creditsto graduate next spring afull year ahead of schedule.
She was quiet, thoughtfuland dedicated to her classes,friends said, often awakestudying in her room until theearly hours of the morning.
She was just so sweet,so smart and so kind about
everything so willing tohelp me on my homework
whenever I needed it, saidEric Schafer, a UNC sopho-more who attended PantherCreek High School with Nan.
Andrew Chen, Nans uncle,said his niece liked playingthe piano and drawing.
Shes a very independentgirl, he said. She always hadher own idea to do what shethinks is right.
Even in high school, Nanknew what she was doing and
where she was headed in life,
said Pam Savage, Nans guid-ance counselor her senior year.
I cant even tell you howimpressive she was academi-cally, she said. And she wasan even better kid.
Savage said Nan talked inhigh school about pursuingsome sort of career in medi-cine because she wanted tohelp people.
And Tina Wang, a friend ofNans, said those aspirationscontinued into college.
She always talked abouthow great (it would be) to
be a doctor who can savepeoples lives, Wang wrote ina message.
Nan was on campus thissummer working at theLineberger ComprehensiveCancer Center.
She had so much hopeful-ness and vitality that comesfrom being young and havingso much promise, said AliciaKoblansky, Nans supervisor,in a statement.
We will miss her presencevery much, and her loss isheart-wrenching.
By Jordan BaileyUniversity Editor
JUNE 20 AndrewCrabtree, a UNC sophomore,died June 15 after a two-and-a-half-year battle with syno-
vial sarcoma, a rare form ofcancer. He was 19.
At the age of 12, Crabtreewas already a master at cap-turing the hearts of thosearound him.
He was on a cruise withhis family, and when theytook walks around the ship,his parents noticed strang-ers would wave at Crabtreeand say hello, said CharlotteParrott, a friend of Crabtrees.
Parrott said his familylater discovered every night,Crabtree would go to the ships
bar alone and perform karaoke.He apparently developed a
little following, and everyonealways wanted to see Andrewcome out and sing, she said.
Friends said Crabtree didntlet the cancer define him.
He never ever wanted totalk about the fact that he was
sick, Parrott said.I think one of the reasons
why he probably kept mearound was because I wasntgentle with him, because that
just pissed him off.Crabtree was the literary
manager for LAB! Theatre,and he starred in many theat-rical productions.
Nathaniel Claridad whodirected Eurydice, oneproduction Crabtree was in said Crabtree was the obviouschoice for the eccentric role ofinteresting man.
He said Crabtree wasinventive and always pushinghimself to come up with newideas for the character.
It was such a delight to seea young actor not be afraid offailing in the rehearsal room,
Claridad said.Crabtree was also a mem-
ber of the St. Anthony Hallfraternity, a Morehead-CainScholarship nominee and hishigh school prom king.
Izzy Francke, who knewCrabtree from the LAB!Theatre, said Crabtree knewhow to get the most out of life.
Andrew was a master ofthe art of living, she said.
He was the most positivehuman being I have met, andhe embraced opportunities
wholeheartedly.Andrew Crabtrees father,
Guy Crabtree, described hisson as a philosopher and a
walking encyclopedia.Guy Crabtree said while in
hospice, his son was preparedfor what was to come.
He was very at peaceknowing what was happeningto him, and he had a firm ideaof his belief of what was goingto happen next, he said.
It gave us all great comfortthat he had such a firm ideaof what the next phase wasgoing to be.
By Sarah BrownState& National Editor
JULY 24 The N.C.General Assembly has seen alittle more activist fire thanusual this summer, as therenowned Moral Mondayprotests have swelled insize and persisted for threemonths in the national mediaspotlight.
The weekly civil disobe-dience events began April29 with a demonstration ofabout 50 people, who gath-ered to express their discon-tent with what they calledregressive Republican-backedpolicies.
After 10 minutes of singingand chanting between the leg-islative chambers, the group
was told by General Assemblypolice that they would have toleave the building or be arrest-
ed. Seventeen refused.Rev. William Barber, presi-dent of the states chapter ofthe NAACP, was among them and he has since becomean icon of the North Carolinaprotests, which he christenedMoral Mondays by the third
week.After 12 protests, the arrest
total at Moral Mondays is
nearing 1,000, with as manyas 151 people led out of the
building in handcuffs in asingle day. They were charged
with violation of building
rules, failure to disperse andtrespassing, though courthearings have been delayeduntil the fall.
Demonstrators haveranged from children tosenior citizens and includea host of UNC students many of whom started orga-nizing carpools from ChapelHill to the General Assembly
every Monday.UNC junior Seth Rose,
who watched his motherget arrested in May, said hesupports the causes of the
protestors, though he said hewouldnt get himself arrested.I dont know if that is the
best approach, he said. ButI definitely like the mobi-lization of a lot of differentgroups.
The protestors might beunited in place at the legisla-tive building and on HalifaxMall, but not always in their
specific protests.Popular subjects have
included gun laws, unemploy-ment benefits and health careaccess, in addition to target-ing two controversial abor-tion bills and pending voteridentification legislation.
Prominent, too, are edu-cation advocates. Dozensof public school teacherslament a lack of teacher payraises over the last five years.University professors rallyagainst state budget cuts tothe UNC system, which arelikely to top $500 millionsince 2011 once a two-year
budget is passed.Jacquelyn Hall, a UNC
history professor arrested onMay 7, said the university sys-tem is only one of many statesectors feeling negative effectsfrom recent legislative action.
But she said many legis-
lators have less respect forpublic universities, and howmuch they contribute to theeconomy and workforce, thanin the past.
I dont see the universitiesas being especially singled outfor victimization, but I see theundermining of this systemas one of the worst long-termeffects of whats happening
now, Hall said.Both Gov. Pat McCrory
and many Republican leg-islators have called for anend to the protests. McCrorysaid in June that unlaw-ful demonstrations such asMoral Mondays are unac-ceptable.
I prefer peaceful demon-strations in which you do not
block access to getting thepeoples work done, he said.
The N.C. NAACP has saidit plans to continue MoralMonday events statewideonce the legislature hasadjourned for the year.

At the age of 12, Crabtreewas already a master at cap-turing the hearts of thosearound him.
He was on a cruise withhis family, and when theytook walks around the ship,his parents noticed strang-ers would wave at Crabtreeand say hello, said CharlotteParrott, a friend of Crabtrees.
Parrott said his familylater discovered every night,Crabtree would go to the ships
bar alone and perform karaoke.He apparently developed a
little following, and everyonealways wanted to see Andrewcome out and sing, she said.
Friends said Crabtree didntlet the cancer define him.
He never ever wanted totalk about the fact that he was
sick, Parrott said.I think one of the reasons
why he probably kept mearound was because I wasntgentle with him, because that
just pissed him off.Crabtree was the literary
manager for LAB! Theatre,and he starred in many theat-rical productions.
Nathaniel Claridad whodirected Eurydice, oneproduction Crabtree was in said Crabtree was the obviouschoice for the eccentric role ofinteresting man.
He said Crabtree wasinventive and always pushinghimself to come up with newideas for the character.
It was such a delight to seea young actor not be afraid offailing in the rehearsal room,
Claridad said.Crabtree was also a mem-
ber of the St. Anthony Hallfraternity, a Morehead-CainScholarship nominee and hishigh school prom king.
Izzy Francke, who knewCrabtree from the LAB!Theatre, said Crabtree knewhow to get the most out of life.
Andrew was a master ofthe art of living, she said.
He was the most positivehuman being I have met, andhe embraced opportunities
wholeheartedly.Andrew Crabtrees father,
Guy Crabtree, described hisson as a philosopher and a
walking encyclopedia.Guy Crabtree said while in
hospice, his son was preparedfor what was to come.
He was very at peaceknowing what was happeningto him, and he had a firm ideaof his belief of what was goingto happen next, he said.
It gave us all great comfortthat he had such a firm ideaof what the next phase wasgoing to be.

JULY 24 The N.C.General Assembly has seen alittle more activist fire thanusual this summer, as therenowned Moral Mondayprotests have swelled insize and persisted for threemonths in the national mediaspotlight.
The weekly civil disobe-dience events began April29 with a demonstration ofabout 50 people, who gath-ered to express their discon-tent with what they calledregressive Republican-backedpolicies.
After 10 minutes of singingand chanting between the leg-islative chambers, the group
was told by General Assemblypolice that they would have toleave the building or be arrest-
ed. Seventeen refused.Rev. William Barber, presi-dent of the states chapter ofthe NAACP, was among them and he has since becomean icon of the North Carolinaprotests, which he christenedMoral Mondays by the third
week.After 12 protests, the arrest
total at Moral Mondays is
nearing 1,000, with as manyas 151 people led out of the
building in handcuffs in asingle day. They were charged
with violation of building
rules, failure to disperse andtrespassing, though courthearings have been delayeduntil the fall.
Demonstrators haveranged from children tosenior citizens and includea host of UNC students many of whom started orga-nizing carpools from ChapelHill to the General Assembly
every Monday.UNC junior Seth Rose,
who watched his motherget arrested in May, said hesupports the causes of the
protestors, though he said hewouldnt get himself arrested.I dont know if that is the
best approach, he said. ButI definitely like the mobi-lization of a lot of differentgroups.
The protestors might beunited in place at the legisla-tive building and on HalifaxMall, but not always in their
specific protests.Popular subjects have
included gun laws, unemploy-ment benefits and health careaccess, in addition to target-ing two controversial abor-tion bills and pending voteridentification legislation.
Prominent, too, are edu-cation advocates. Dozensof public school teacherslament a lack of teacher payraises over the last five years.University professors rallyagainst state budget cuts tothe UNC system, which arelikely to top $500 millionsince 2011 once a two-year
budget is passed.Jacquelyn Hall, a UNC
history professor arrested onMay 7, said the university sys-tem is only one of many statesectors feeling negative effectsfrom recent legislative action.
But she said many legis-
lators have less respect forpublic universities, and howmuch they contribute to theeconomy and workforce, thanin the past.
I dont see the universitiesas being especially singled outfor victimization, but I see theundermining of this systemas one of the worst long-termeffects of whats happening
now, Hall said.Both Gov. Pat McCrory
and many Republican leg-islators have called for anend to the protests. McCrorysaid in June that unlaw-ful demonstrations such asMoral Mondays are unac-ceptable.
I prefer peaceful demon-strations in which you do not
block access to getting thepeoples work done, he said.
The N.C. NAACP has saidit plans to continue MoralMonday events statewideonce the legislature hasadjourned for the year.

A tree behind the Undergraduate Library fell in June due to flash flooding throughout Chapel Hill.
Heavy rains flood campusBy Jordan Bailey
and Cammie BellamySenior Writers
JULY 29 Campus build-ings affected by the record-
breaking rainfall that flooded
Chapel Hill June 30 were stillundergoing repairs well intothe month of July forcingsome students to change uptheir normal routines.
Athletic facilities, a resi-dence hall and other campus
buildings sustained flooddamage.
The Student RecreationCenter on South Road has
been closed to users due todamages from the flooding,and Reggie Hinton, the facili-ties and operations directorfor campus recreation, saidit should be reopened by the
start of the semester.Hinton said most of the
first floor of the SRC wasflooded, damaging its frontentrance, offices, weight roomand carpeting.
Kevin Best, the assistantathletic director for commu-
nications, said the first floor ofthe Kenan Football Center andCharlie Justice Hall of Honorsin Kenan Stadium were alsoaffected by flooding.
As a result, carpets in theweight room and equipmentroom in the stadium weredamaged, forcing officialsto move equipment out andshifting athletes workouts
to another location in thestadium.Neither Best nor Hinton
would comment on the esti-mated total cost of damages.
Larry Hicks, director ofhousing and residential edu-cation, said flooding dam-aged the basement of McIverResidence Hall, and otherresidence halls on campus
were unaffected.Our grounds maintenance
crew and housing mainte-nance crew who have beendoing good work for the last10 years are making the
best efforts to minimize theimpacts of the flooding,Hicks said.
Hicks also said GranvilleTowers was badly affected byflooding, but officials at that
site could not be reached forcomment on the damage.
Chris Roush, senior asso-ciate dean for undergradu-ate studies in the School ofJournalism and MassCommunication, which ishoused in Carroll Hall, saidflood water also affectedCarroll, seeping into the audi-torium in the basement.
Some summer school class-es previously held in the base-ment were moved to otherparts of the building.
In an effort to help withflood damage, Gov. PatMcCrory announced July 17that the U.S. Small Business
Administration would providefederal financial assistance tocounty families and businessesaffected by the flooding.
While Im inspired by theresilience of those who have
been impacted, we want tomake all resources availablefor recovery efforts, McCrorysaid in a statement. Werequested this assistance toget the people and businessesof Chapel Hill, Carrboro andsurrounding areas back ontheir feet.

Womens lacrosse wins championship
courtesy of jeffrey camarati
The North Carolina womens lacrosse team defeated top-ranked
Maryland in the NCAA title game that lasted three overtimes.
The Tar Heels wonthe NCAA title for thefirst time in history.
By Aaron DodsonSenior Writer
MAY 30 The NorthCarolina womens lacrosseteam has finally claimed whatits been chasing.
After 14 NCAA tournamentappearances in the programs18-year history, the NorthCarolina womens lacrosseteam claimed its first champi-onship win May 26.
The No. 3 Tar Heels defeat-ed top-ranked Maryland inthe NCAA title game thatlasted three overtimes, result-ing in UNC players celebrat-ing in a sea of confetti whilehoisting the schools first-ever
womens lacrosse nationalchampionship trophy.With the victory, UNC
broke the school record the
Tar Heels set in 2002 andtied again in 2010 for most
wins in a season, ending theyear as not only the nationstop team, but also as the bestin UNCs history.
Loss to a winning streak
UNC began the yearranked fifth and lost its firstgame of the season to thenthird-ranked Florida.
For us, its just to go out not for revenge but to
better ourselves for the nextgame, junior defender SloaneSerpe said after the 5-3 loss.
The Tar Heels then defeat-ed 11 consecutive opponents six of which were ranked including defending nationalchampion and then-No. 1Northwestern.
UNCs winning streak,which is tied for the second-
longest in school history, wassnapped by Maryland, whodefeated the Tar Heels 14-13.
It definitely gives us a
little bit of grit moving for-ward, said junior AbbeyFriend after the regular-sea-
son game in April. Well takea close loss now, just move onand get ready for the ACCs,
because well probably see
them again.
Fighting to top the ACC
After earning the No. 2seed in the ACC Tournamentat the end of the regular sea-
son, UNC defeated BostonCollege 16-6 before falling tothe Terrapins in the champi-onship game for the fourthconsecutive year. The score,this time, was 12-8.
The game has no memo-ry, coach Jenny Levy said toher players all season long.
And after the ACC titlegame loss, the Tar Heels tookthis philosophy to heart.
They were headed to theNCAA Tournament.
Third times the charm
UNCs title run began withvictories against Loyola andVirginia, allowing the TarHeels to advance to the FinalFour for the seventh time.
Despite losing to theWildcats twice previously inthe Final Four, the Tar Heelsdefeated No. 2 Northwestern
the winner of seven of theprevious eight national titles 11-4 in the semifinal game,punching their ticket to play
No. 1 undefeated Marylandfor the third time last seasonin the championship.
And the Tar Heels ulti-mately defeated the Terrapins13-12 on a game-winning
shot in triple overtime fromfreshman midfielder SammyJo Tracy.
A dream it literally feelsall like a dream, Tracy saidafter the game.
To see that ball go in theback of the net was somethingIve dreamed about ever sincemy dad put a stick in my hand.
UNC had only been tothe championship gameonce previously, losing toNorthwestern 21-7 in 2009,
but has at last made the finalpush to win its national title.
Yeah, weve been to theFinal Four a lot, but this is
what puts our team over thehump, senior midfielder
Emily Garrity said. Thisshows that North Carolinawill win and North Carolinadoes win.

Baseball falls short in World Series
dth/kaki pope
The baseball team celebrates the win that sent them to Omaha.
The Tar Heels won
the ACC tournament
but lost in Omaha.
By Michael LanannaSenior Writer
JUNE 27 There wereequal parts disappointmentand pride in baseball coachMike Foxs voice followingNorth Carolinas season-end-ing 4-1 loss to UCLA in theCollege World Series.
The end of the year just it always stinks, Fox said.But its just been a greatpleasure for me personally.
And its because of theseguys up here and the rest ofthe guys in that dugout.
Despite high expectationssurrounding the team, UNC
wasnt able to cash in on itsdream of winning the pro-grams first-ever NCAA title.
But UNCs season was nota failure by any stretch ofthe imagination. At 59-12,the 2013 team was the win-ningest in program history.The Tar Heels won the ACCtournament, and they werethe only team in the countrynot to suffer a losing streak.
The Tar Heels also madethe trip to Omaha, Neb., aftermissing the College WorldSeries a year ago.
(Im) so sorry for our sea-son to come to an end, but Imglad it ended here in Omaha,Fox said. Thats for sure.
A blazing startThe Tar Heels were a confi-
dent team going into the sea-son and for good reason.
They were ranked No. 1in the nation by Baseball
America. They returned theirentire weekend rotation from2012, had a future first-roundpick in slugger Colin Moranand brought in a recruitingclass that included standoutsSkye Bolt, Trent Thorntonand Landon Lassiter.
Were going to Omaha,catcher Matt Roberts said a
week before the season began.Theres no question about it.
Before long, the Tar Heels
became the consensus No. 1team in the country as theyrattled off 16 wins in a row tostart the season, and by April21, they had a 39-2 record.
But that near-perfect level
of success wouldnt continueas UNC faced tougher oppo-nents at the end of the seasonin Georgia Tech and Virginia both of whom beat UNC.
No one is going to remem-ber how you start the season,Fox said in March. They aregoing to remember how youfinish it.
Postseason warriors
From the ACC tourna-ment on, UNC played 18 totalextra innings. It began in an
ACC tournament bout with
Clemson, in which UNC ral-lied to tie the game with afive-run ninth and packed onfive more to win in the 14th.
It continued the next nightagainst N.C. State when UNC
edged the Wolfpack 2-1 in an18-inning pitchers duel.And in the Chapel Hill
Regional, UNC found itselffacing extras again, overcom-ing a ninth-inning grand slamand a 12th-inning three-runhome run to beat Florida
Atlantic.I think its just we dont
want to lose, junior BrianHolberton said after the winagainst Clemson. Were onthe field we might as wellgo out there and win.
The Tar Heels won fiveelimination games during
their postseason journey.They barely edged Super
Regional foe South Carolina,scraping by with a 5-4 victory.
Then, in Omaha, theyfound themselves in the los-
ers bracket after losing theiropening game to N.C. State.But UNC won two more
games with its back againstthe wall, beating LouisianaState and getting revenge onthe Wolfpack with a 7-0 win.
The Tar Heels couldntcontinue the magic againstUCLA, but Fox said he stillconsidered the team one ofhis most special mainly
because of the people on it.We didnt have any
cliques. We didnt have anyturmoil, Fox said. It was acoachs dream.

Hairston found withmarijuana, rental cars
UNC oers tomake up for
fake classesBy Megan CassellaSummer EditorJUNE 27 A smatter-
ing of supplemental coursesmight be all thats left for theUniversity in its ongoing bat-tle to rid itself of an academicscandal that has been unrav-eling since 2010 as soon asit begins to implement them.
The courses are part of theUniversitys new plan thatcould involve bringing nearly400 current and former stu-dents back to class in order torepair the academic integrityof their degrees, issued from
the Department of Africanand Afro-American Studies.UNCs accrediting agency,
the Southern Associationof Colleges and SchoolsCommission on Colleges, toldthe University June 20 that it
will not receive a sanction forpast academic irregularities.
Instead, the agency optedto monitor the University forone year as it moves forward
with the proposals it submit-
ted to the agency plansthat include offering optionalcourses to alumni and manda-tory courses to current stu-dents who received academiccredit for fraudulent courses.The plans also include provi-sions to ensure that steps have
been taken to prevent irregu-lar courses in the future.
The council felt theplan was appropriate, butthey needed to give (UNC)a chance to implement theplan, said Belle Wheelan, thepresident of the agency. Sothey gave them a year to do itand asked for a report at the
end of the year.Wheelan said theUniversity remains fullyaccredited during its year ofmonitoring. The next stepafter the one-year review
which could include a sanc-tion, another monitoringreport or a full clearance iscontingent upon how success-fully UNC implements theplan it presented, she said.
University spokeswomanKaren Moon said in an emailthat a number of offices oncampus are already involvedin handling the new supple-mentary courses, and anemail address and phonenumber have been estab-lished specifically for organiz-ing the courses.
But calls and emails madeby The Daily Tar Heel to bothinquiry lines went unanswered.
Dee Reid, director of com-munications for the College of
Arts and Sciences, and ChrisDerickson, assistant provostand University registrar, bothsaid the best information avail-able at this point is that on theUniversitys website.
The Department of Africanand Afro-American Studiesdid not respond to multiplerequests for comment.
According to Universitydocuments, 304 alumni whoreceived academic creditfor Type 1 courses those
which either did not exist orthe instructor denied teach-ing and signing the grade rollfor will be given the optionof returning to UNC for onesupplementary course at anytime over the next five years.
University documentsstate it will cover the costs oftuition, course fees and text-
books for these courses with-out using any state funding.The total cost of the courses which can be from anydepartment of the studentschoosing cannot be deter-mined until the Universityknows how many students oralumni choose to enroll.
The plan also identifiesan additional 46 currentstudents who received creditfor irregular courses and whonow will be offered threeoptions taking an addition-al course, taking a challengeexamination or providingpast course work to a facultycommittee for re-evaluation.
The students will have topursue one of the options ifthey wish to pursue gradua-tion, the plan states.
Outgoing ChancellorHolden Thorp said inFebruary, when the University
was first responding to theaccrediting agency, that he
wanted to consider variousways to make it up to studentswho enrolled in classes notup to University standards which is where the supple-mentary classes come in.

JULY 25 Questionshave been swirling surround-ing North Carolina shootingguard P.J. Hairstons eligibil-ity to play next season sincehis initial arrest.
Hairston was stopped at arandom license check June 5in Durham. He was arrestedand charged with driving
without a license and posses-sion of marijuana.
Both charges were dis-missed July 19 after, accord-ing to court records, Hairstonobtained and completed anassessment relating to hisdrug possession.
State does not wish toproceed based upon theseactions, the record read.
Hairston was also ableto produce his valid driverslicense, which led to the dis-missal of his second charge.
Still, with legal charges dis-missed, Athletic DepartmentSpokesman Steve Kirschner
said July 25 that he had
no comment on whetherHairston would be eligible toplay next season.
At the time of the arrest,police took a 9 mm gun andmagazine round of ammuni-tion as evidence, as well as arental agreement for the carHairston was driving.
But Durham PublicInformation Officer KammieMichael said July 10 that theDurham Police Departmentdid not anticipate filing anyadditional charges againstHairston relating to the
weapon.USA Today first reported
that the rental agreementfor the 2013 GMC YukonHairston was driving has
been linked to Haydn FatsThomas a felon with alengthy criminal record, whois also awaiting trial for drugand gun charges unrelated toHairston.
Under NCAA rules,Hairstons use of Thomasrental could be an impermis-
sible benefit, depending on
the nature of their relation-ship.Sports law expert and
legal analyst MichaelMcCann said in an email theNCAA could choose to sus-pend Hairston for the sea-son, but he said he believesthe organization will want tofirst verify that Hairston andThomas relationship is animproper one.
A person even a con-victed felon renting a carfor a college student athlete isprobably not, in and of itself,enough to warrant a sanction,since there are circumstances
when that could arise whereit has nothing to do withsports, McCann said.
If UNC determines thatHairston has committed a
violation affecting eligibil-ity, the school must declarehim ineligible to the NCAA,according to organizationguidelines.
The rules state theUniversity must then investi-
gate the situation and submit
a reinstatement request to theNCAA.The NCAA will consider
the nature and seriousnessof the violation, impermis-sible benefits received andthe student athletes level ofresponsibility.
Coach Roy Williams hasnot spoken since Hairstonscharges were dismissed, buthe said in a statement July15 that Hairston would faceserious consequences.
Williams said he is awareof the potential impendingstain on the UNC basketballprogram.
Other issues have beenwritten about recently thatare disturbing and bother medeeply, he said.
Our basketball programis based on great ideals andthese issues are embarrass-ing.
These are not commonin my 10 years as head coachat UNC and they will all bedealt with harshly and appro-priately at the correct time toensure that our program willnot be compromised.

Hedgepethdocuments
sealed again
After resentencing, Lovettegets life without parole
By Taylor Greeneand Jordan Bailey
Staff Writers
JULY 25 The records inthe Faith Hedgepeth homi-cide case were resealed twiceover the summer.
On May 14, DurhamCounty Superior CourtJudge Orlando F. Hudson Jr.ordered the records, includ-ing all search warrants and911 calls in the case, to beresealed. On July 19, follow-ing the expiration of thatorder, the records were once
again sealed.The new order is applicable
for 60 days, at which pointthe district attorneys office inDurham will have to releasethe records or seek anotherresealing order.
The court finds thatthere is a preponderance ofevidence to believe that therelease of the informationcontained in the court orderand application would under-mine the ongoing criminalinvestigation, the orderstates.
The records have beensealed repeatedly sinceHedgepeth was found dead inher apartment the morning of
Sept. 7, 2012.The Hedgepeth fam-
ily said they were not spe-cifically informed about theMay resealing, but RolandHedgepeth, Faiths father,said he was not surprised.
I dont know how muchlonger this is going to go on,
but my understanding is thatthey have to convince a judgethat it is of utmost impor-tance to the case, so I haveto assume that the judgesknow what theyre doing,Hedgepeth said.
He said the family is doingas best as they can given thesituation.
At this point, about as wellas can be expected, consider-ing that we know absolutelynothing, still, about whathappened, he said.
But Hedgepeth said heremains confident the investi-gation is moving forward.
If they are either con-tinually eliminating people or
whatever they may be doing, Iwould assume that it is sometype of progress.
A spokesman forthe Chapel Hill PoliceDepartment said they arein frequent contact with the
Hedgepeth family about thecase.
We are trying to keepthem involved as much as wepossibly can without com-promising the investigation,police spokesman JoshuaMecimore said.
Amy Locklear Hertel isthe director of the UNC
American Indian Center,an organization in whichFaith Hedgepeth was heavilyinvolved while on campus.
In May, Hertel said she wassaddened by the resealing,
but she remains hopeful thatthe investigation would moveforward.
Were confident theyre
doing their jobs, she said.Hopefully there will be
a resolution to the case. Weare looking forward to thatresolution sooner rather thanlater.
In July, members of aNative American sorority oncampus unanimously agreedto extend honorary member-ship to Hedgepeth.
Leslie Locklear, presidentof the Alpha Pi Omega soror-ity for the the 2012-13 year,said the organization decidedto make Hedgepeth an hon-orary member because ofher expressed interest in theorganization.
JUNE 3 After a Juneresentencing trial, one ofthe men convicted in the2008 killing of Student BodyPresident Eve Carson willserve the rest of his life inprison without the possibilityof parole.
Laurence Alvin Lovette Jr.was first sentenced to life inprison in December 2011, butthe N.C. Court of Appeals ruledthe judge and jury were notable to consider mitigating fac-tors related to Lovettes age. He
was 17 at the time of the crime.On June 3, N.C. Superior
Court Judge Allen Baddourupheld Lovettes sentence.
Lovette was convicted oncharges of first-degree murder,first-degree kidnapping, felonylarceny and armed robbery.
In February, the Court ofAppeals had vacated Lovetteslife sentence, asking that his
sentence be reconsidered.The courts opinion in that
ruling stemmed from the2012 U.S. Supreme Courtcase, Miller v. Alabama. Inthat case, the U.S. SupremeCourt ruled that a mandatorylife sentence without parolefor offenders younger than 18constitutes cruel and unusualpunishment.
But Baddour arguedLovette represented anextreme case in which thefindings in Miller did notapply. Baddour also said hedoubted whether rehabilita-tion was possible for Lovette.
Co-defendant DemarioJames Atwater, who was 21at the time for the murder,is serving two life sentencesafter pleading guilty to thecrime in 2011.

System to review cap onout-of-state students
UNC is not alone in
discussion to increase
nonresidents.
By Sarah BrownState & National Editor
JUNE 20 The UNCBoard of Governors mightslacken a long-standing reinon admitting out-of-statestudents to UNC-systemcampuses next year, joininga nationwide debate amonguniversities on nonresidentenrollment.
A number of public univer-sities have recently increasedtheir nonresident student pop-ulation many in response todecreased state funding.
The Board of Governorsis considering five proposedchanges to the UNC systemsout-of-state policy.
John Sanders, formerdirector of UNC-CHs School
of Government, said he
thinks the proposals couldbe a product of UNC-systembudget cuts.
But Peter Hans, the boardchairman, said financial woesare not driving the membersdiscussion.
Hans said admittingmore out-of-state students
would not increase the UNCsystems state-appropriatedfunds, though it is a commonspeculation.
The university (system)doesnt receive four times asmuch money for an out-of-state student, even thoughtuition might be that muchhigher at UNC-CH, for exam-ple, he said.
But Sanders said less statesupport encourages univer-sities to seek funding else-
where.The motivation so far
as I see is to enable the(UNC system) to charge out-of-state students a higher
tuition rate and to make
money that way thattheyre not getting fromother sources, he said.
The Board of Governorshas mandated the UNC sys-tems 18-percent out-of-statecap from which the UNCSchool of the Arts is exempt since 1986.
Hans said the systems pri-ority is, and always has been,educating in-state students.
But he said board membersrecognize the advantages out-of-state students confer.
There is increasing aware-ness that admitting bright,qualified out-of-state stu-dents who study here andthen live here after gradua-tion can be a very positiveinfluence on economic devel-opment, he said.
One proposed changewould raise the systemwidecap to 22 percent, which
would have allowed UNC-CHto admit 204 more out-of-
state students to last years
incoming freshman class.The cap has given UNC-CH admissions officers a fewheadaches nearly 1,900qualified applicants fromoutside the state were deniedadmission last year.
All five possible changeswould increase total systemenrollment, so the numberof in-state students admitted
would not be affected.A 22-percent systemwide
cap would be hard to admin-ister across campuses, Hanssaid.
We would have to figureout which schools get whatproportion of the nonresi-dents allotted, he said.
Hans said out-of-state poli-cy discussions will continue at
board meetings this year, buthe said there is no guaranteeadjustments will be made.
North Carolina studentswill always remain our toppriority.

PerformingArts grant
expands
NC Supreme Court putshold on towing restrictions
By Samantha SabinArts Editor
JULY 11 At first glance,Carolina Performing Artsproject to bridge the artsand academics might seemtoo simple to require an$800,000 grant.
But Raymond Farrow,CPAs director of develop-ment, said the bulk of thefunding will be spent on per-sonnel for the Arts@TheCoreinitiative a five-year pro-gram that will be implement-ed in the 2013-14 year.
We have to have the peo-ple on the ground, working
with us in order to make thiswork, Farrow said.
For the Rite of Spring at100 series during the 2012-13 season, CPA receiveda $750,000 grant fromThe Andrew W. MellonFoundations performing artsdivision, $50,000 less thanthe Arts@TheCore grant.
Farrow said the largergrant came from the highereducation division of thefoundation, which might beable to provide more fundingfor this project than the per-forming arts division.
The amount of money (thefoundation has) to spend onprojects changes from year to
year, he said. So there couldbe a whole host of reasonswhy it was different.
The final grant amountsare determined each yearafter back-and-forth discus-sions between both peopleat Carolina Performing Artsand the foundations programorganizer.
The Mellon Foundationfirst asked the performingarts group to draft a proposal
based on what the arts inte-gration project would looklike if there were no limits tothe available funding.
And that was our initialconcept paper that we sub-mitted, and I think the totalamount for that sort of broadproposal was about $2 mil-lion, Farrow said.
The grant for the arts inte-gration project will be usedto support mostly the MellonDistinguished Scholar andthe postdoctoral fellow.
Professor Joy Kasson, thefirst Mellon DistinguishedScholar, will receive $134,000over the course of her two-
year tenure to develop a fac-ulty seminar and to facilitatefaculty research.
Aaron Shackelford, thepostdoctoral fellow who will
work alongside Kasson, willreceive $52,000 per year toconduct research relevant tothe goals of the arts integrationprogram, teach one course per
year designed around one ormore performances and helpprepare materials for seminarsand meetings.
I really want to see stu-dents come to expect for theperforming arts to become apart of their education here atCarolina, Shackelford said.
The grant will also fund theother groups, but Farrow saidCPA plans to do more fund-raising for different arts inte-gration activities and events.
We feel like Mellon hasgiven us a great head start,he said. But thats just the
beginning.Joe Florence, CPAs mar-
keting manager, said the Riteof Spring season was a pre-cursor for this upcoming year.
There were Rite of Springclasses, and we had tons ofartists visiting classrooms andhosting master classes, he said.
For Arts@TheCore, wewant to broaden that expo-sure, and just make it per-forming arts-focused versus
just Rite of Spring-focused.

JUNE 27 After a sum-mer of delays, Chapel Hillofficials may have to waitseveral months to find out iftheyll be able to enforce newtowing restrictions.
On June 25, the N.C.Supreme Court issued a tem-porary stay on the restrictions which cap the amounttowing companies can charge,increase signage in tow-awaylots and require companiesto accept credit cards as itdecides whether to take up anappeal against the towns tow-ing and cellphone ban ordi-nances. The Chapel Hill TownCouncil had already decidedto hold off on enacting the
ban on using a cellphonewhile driving until Oct. 1.
The towing restrictions had
been set to take effect June24, but will now be delayeduntil the state Supreme Courtdecides how to handle theappeal from Georges Towingand Recovery and the com-panys lawyer, Thomas Stark.
On June 4, the N.C. Courtof Appeals ruled the towncould move forward with bothordinances. But later thatmonth, Stark filed a petitionfor discretionary review withthe Supreme Court. He said heexpects the court to decide ifthey will take the case within acouple of months.
Prior experience wouldtell me that it takes anywherefrom 60 to 120 days or so,
he said.Stark said he and his client
decided to appeal over what
they see as questions regard-ing the constitutionality ofthe ordinances.
One of the issues notreached by the Court of
Appeals was whether or notthe local bill that had beengiven to Orange County andother counties that allowsthem to pass towing restric-tions was constitutionalunder the N.C. Constitution,Stark said.
We had another 14 to 15days to prepare an appeal andto file a petition for discre-tionary review, but we tried tomove more promptly because
we didnt want there to beadditional confusion. (The
ordinance) is confusing forthe public, its confusing forthe police and its confusing
for my client.But some Chapel Hill offi-
cials said they think the tow-ing ordinance is well withinthe towns rights.
Im disappointed thatthe courts issued a stay, butultimately Im confident thatonce the legal process carriesitself out, that well be ableto enforce the towing restric-tions, said Chapel Hill TownCouncil member Lee Storrow.It has made downtown areally unfriendly place forcitizens and customers, andI think the Court of Appeals
was pretty specific in theirruling that the town has theright to enforce this.

New law protects students who call 911
Chapel Hill approves budget
dth/kaki pope
UNC Hospitals received an increase in alcohol-related 911 calls from campus in recent semesters.
By Megan CassellaSummer Editor
JUNE 6 The beds linethe walls, crowd the hallwaysand form a ring around the
nurses station.Theyre empty, most ofthem its 11:30 p.m. in theemergency room at UNCHospitals, and the day is com-
ing to a close.But as the hour grows later
and the weekend looms, thevacant beds start to fill, await-ing the patients who tend toinhabit them more often than
anyone else intoxicatedstudents.With the number of calls
to emergency medical ser-vices for student alcohol
overdoses rising, and newstatewide legislation in placeto encourage calling for help,the University is now facinga bigger question what, ifany, consequences these stu-
dents should face.
The hospital drunk tank
When a call reporting anintoxicated person comes in tothe emergency services head-quarters in Hillsborough, aresponse team goes out.
And according to OrangeCounty Emergency Services
Alcohol-Related Incidentsreport, its something thathas been happening morefrequently.
In the spring of 2012, EMSreceived 40 alcohol-relatedcalls for 18- to 22-year-olds inthe campus area.
The following fall, that
same number jumped to 60calls an increase of 50 per-cent. Comparable data for ear-lier years was not available.
Jeff Phillips, an E.R. nursewho has worked at UNCHospitals for 18 years, said the
vast majority of intoxicatedstudents who come in dontrequire much medical care.
For the most part, theyjust sleep it off, he said.
We keep an eye on them,give them a warm bed, justlet them lay there its like adrunk tank, almost.
A new law on the table
Al Hunt, an EMS supervi-sor, said when he hears ofinstances where students
didnt call 911, its always forthe same reason.Theyll say, I didnt call
because I didnt want to getin trouble, he said.
Now, under new legisla-tion passed through the N.C.General Assembly in April,students are subject to lim-ited immunity from legal con-sequences in some situations even if theyre underage.
Students must meet threecriteria to be protected underthe new legislation, said DaveCrescenzo, an attorney withStudent Legal Services.
He said students must bethe first to call for help, givetheir real names and remain
with the person until authori-ties arrive.
In that situation, if youwere under 21 and the policefind alcohol, they would not
be able to charge you withpossession or consumption.
But while students mightnot get in legal trouble, theystill could be charged with a
violation of the Honor Code a loophole that the Universityis now working to rewrite.
Blackburn said his office,which is in charge of rewritingthe policy, wants to keep theUniversity operating in thesame spirit as the legislation.
So we are working nowin trying to devise some lan-guage to our policy that willspeak to where and when theUniversity will also observe amedical amnesty approach,
he said.Crescenzo said before thelegislation, the de facto posi-tion of both law enforcementand the University had beennot to get students in trouble but the rules were unwrit-ten, and there were exceptions.
Whether somebody wascharged before was always upto the cops, he said.
The classic situation is thefrat party, Crescenzo said.Somebodys been chuggingpurple Jesus and is passed outon the floor, and rather than,Oh my God, this guys barely
breathing, they would justput him to bed and go homeor some stupid thing like that.
(The new law) addressesthat problem.

JUNE 11 Residents canexpect higher municipal taxesand expanded library hoursas Chapel Hills new 2013-14
budget goes into effect.In June, the Chapel Hill
Town Council unanimously
approved town managerRoger Stancils $94 millionproposed budget.
The budget is balanced bytwo 1-cent tax increases one to support the towns gen-eral fund and one for ChapelHill Transit.
The increase brings theproperty tax rate total to 51.4cents levied on every $100
valuation of property.Following calls from the
public for increased hours,the Chapel Hill PublicLibrary will now be fundedfor 64 hours per week upfrom the current 54 hours,
but slightly less than t hepre-renovation 68 hours per
week.Other items in the budget
include a 4-percent increasein health care premiums fortown employees and raisedpublic parking rates formetered lots and town paystations.
While all council membersapproved the budget, somesaid it was not ideal.
Every time we raise taxes,for whatever good purpose, inpart, we make it harder and
harder for people of mod-est or even above modestmeans to live here, councilmember Matt Czajkowskisaid.
I think overall, as we bal-ance trade-offs, that theyare well-balanced. But I will
vote for it with a heavy heartbecause I know that some ofthe very people who we areconstantly talking about serv-ing in Chapel Hill wont behere for us to serve after wepass this budget.
But Mayor Pro TemporeEd Harrison said ChapelHills municipal taxes willremain lower than those ofsurrounding towns. He said
Durhams municipal taxes are10 percent higher, Carrborosare 15 percent higher andHillsboroughs are approxi-mately 20 percent higher.
Were not doing all thatmuch in terms of forcing peo-ple out of town if you look atthe actual numbers, Harrisonsaid.
If you can justify a taxraise, this one is justifiable.
In late June, the TownCouncil also heard recom-mendations for a new planto extend sewer service tothe historically black andlow-income Rogers-Eubanksneighborhood. That commu-nity had housed the county
landfill until its closure inJune.
Over the summer, theHistoric Rogers RoadNeighborhood Task Forcedecided on two options forthe sewer plan one that
would cost $5.8 million andprovide sewer service to 86properties, and a second that
would cost $3.7 million andserve 67.
Now, funding for one ofthose plans will have to bedetermined by the ChapelHill, Carrboro and OrangeCounty governments.
Many council membersvoiced support for extend-ing sewer service to as many
homes as possible throughthe larger, 86-property plan.
To pay for Chapel Hillsshare of the sewer costs, thecouncil voted that the townmanager explore two options:creating a water and sewerdistrict for the neighbor-hood in partnership with theOrange Water and Sewer
Authority, or extending thetowns extraterritorial juris-diction to include RogersRoad.

JULY 25 The first phaseof a plan to provide contex-tualized grading informationfor undergraduate classesat UNC was implementedin June, with the release ofthe first Instructor GradingPatterns reports.
But the final stage of theplan implementing thetrranscripts for students has once again been delayed.
Faculty members willreceive their reports eachterm in order to comparetheir grade distributions tothose of other faculty mem-
bers within their department
or across the schools.Results of the reports are
visible only to the faculty.Andrew Perrin, a sociology
professor and former chair-man of the educational policycommittee, which developedthe plan, said the reports arethe result of concerns overgrade inflation and inequality.
There was a really strongsense that both of those issues grade inflation and gradeinequality were importantand were threatening the
validity of grading at UNC,he said.
We decided that thebest way to approach that isthrough the proce
