Summer school oers study abroad alternativeBy Hunter Powell

Staff Writer

For anyone who ever wantedto study abroad but had troubleleaving Chapel Hill, UNC has asolution.

The Summer Language

Immersion Program, which is inits third year, will offer Arabic forthe first time this year, in addition

to the already established Spanishand Chinese courses.

Jan Yopp, dean of summerschool, said the five-week coursesoffer an opportunity for students

to develop a strong base in a lan-guage and immerse themselves ina foreign culture.

Its the closest thing to study-ing abroad without actuallytraveling abroad, Yopp said. Thestudents are living, breathing andeven eating the language and the

culture.During the day, students in the

program spend six to seven hours

in the classroom speaking andinteracting completely in the tar-get language.

In the evening, students par-ticipate in a variety of culturalactivities, ranging from musi-cal concerts to cooking classes.This blend allows the students to

become fully immersed in the cul-ture of the language, Yopp said.

The program, which takesplace during the first summersession, is especially beneficial tothose who are looking to study

abroad in the future.All of the programs instructors

praised the structure and believethe lack of distraction is ideal forlearning a language.

Glynis Cowell, director of theSpanish Immersion Program,

who also teaches classes in theprogram, said students are notable to take any other coursesduring the time they are enrolledin the program.

All the courses offered through

the immersion program are entry-level courses, which make thempopular to those looking to learn

a new language.She said summer school offers

the next levels in the three lan-guages during the second summersession so students can fulfill theirlanguage requirement in one sum-mer while its fresh on their minds.

Yopp said the new Arabiccourse has already filled up fasterthan the other courses and thatshes excited to add this new lan-guage to the program.

Yopp said that the immersionprograms success is due to its

excellent faculty and advisers.The instructors said they

wholeheartedly believed in thisprogram and the benefits of thesmaller, condensed structure.They also pointed out the many

benefits of the program and high-lighted why spending a summerin the program is a great substi-tute for studying abroad.

Science camp fun forkids and studentsBy Caroline Hudson

Staff Writer

UNC junior Kent Torell wasamused as he watched a room fullof kids interrogate his brother.

As part of the CSI camp at theMorehead Planetarium SummerScience Camps, where Torell has

worked since 2010, the kids weretesting their interrogation skills.

The exercise involved a mysterythat students had to solve, withTorells brother as a suspect.

It was kind of amusing, Torellsaid.

The planetarium actively seeksUNC students to work at thecamps, said Torell.

In order to qualify, you must be

enrolled at UNC for the followingfall semester.Torell said students can gain a

lot of good experience in teachingand leadership by volunteering atthe camp.

For Torell, watching the kidsreactions to the CSI camp stuckout as a special experience.

It made me feel like I washelping the kids, he said.

Besides the CSI camp, thecamps offer hands-on scienceactivities, crafts and outdoor

recreation, Marketing Manager

Karen Kornegay said.She said that the camps have

been offered for about 10 years.The first year it was 12 kids.

Now its 2,000 kids, Kornegaysaid.

The camps are a great, fun wayfor kids to explore different top-ics in science, from dinosaurs tospace exploration to Legos, shesaid. This year, they have alsoadded a new camp at ResearchTriangle Park, Kornegay said.

The new location is KestrelHeights School, a public charterschool in Durham.

The funding for the camps is fee-based, Kornegay said. At the plan-etarium location, tuition is $345for planetarium members children

and $360 for non-members.The camps are targeted towardchildren in grades kindergartenthrough eighth grade, with morn-ing and afternoon sessions, shesaid. The camps rotate every yearand include Lego camps, under-

water camps, marine biologyprograms and Wright brothersprograms.

Its a great opportunity for thechildren, Kornegay said.

Plan ahead to make summer sublets easierBy Daniel Schere

Staff Writer

As students leave town for thesummer, some who live off cam-pus must find other students tosublease their apartments.

Subleasing occurs when stu-dents have time remaining ontheir apartment lease but will beleaving for the summer and needsomeone to take their place toavoid paying rent for an emptyapartment.

Townhouse ApartmentsProperty Manager Gina Turnersaid it is important that tenants

considering subleasing fill outthe necessary paperwork for theproperty manager beforehandto ensure the sublessee is fullyentitled to the property.

If they get into a situationwhere they are locked out or cantpark their car, they technicallydont have the rights to that apart-

ment if theyre not on the lease,she said.

Senior Fola Goke-Pariola said

after subleasing his apartment lastyear, he realized the importance oftaking care of legal obligations.

Make sure that you go throughyour apartment office, he said.

He said close friends usuallymake good sublessees as long asthey are reliable.

Under a sublease agreement,the original tenant is responsiblefor any damage caused by thesublessee, which Raleigh realestate lawyer Frederick Davis saidis a concern for students.

If they trash the place, you willhave to pay for it, he said.

To ensure that the landlordis compensated in case damagedoes occur, students can makea security deposit on the leasethat will cover a certain amountof damage, which Dunlap LilleyProperties Manager Will Duncan

encourages students to do.Duncan emphasized the

importance of finding a reliable

sublessee.Although you have an agree-

ment between the two of you, youare still responsible for paying therent, he said, adding that his com-

pany screens potential sublessees.Leases often contain language

that is crucial for students to

understand. Davis said the subles-sor must make sure the subles-sees name is on the lease in orderto ensure the two have a legalrelationship. He also noted stu-

dents should be aware of renewalclauses in the lease.

Leases have automatic renew-

als, so you could be stuck foranother year, he said.

Keeping pools safe in

the summer seasonBy Andrew Edwards

Staff Writer

As the summer heat returns,so does the urge to jump intoa pool. And while swimmingholds countless hours of fun, itis important to be aware of thepotential dangers and health risksassociated with it.

According to the Centers forDisease Control and Preventionwebsite, the myth that chlorine killsgerms instantly is a misconception.

If chemical levels in pools orhot tubs are not properly main-tained, germs can multiply andcause swimmers to become sickafter coming into contact withcontaminated water. Such sick-nesses, known as recreational

water illnesses (RWIs), are con-cerns that both pool managersand swimmers should recognize

and understand.RWIs include a wide varietyof infections, including skin, ear,gastrointestinal and respiratoryconditions. In Orange County, apool must pass an inspection con-ducted by Environmental HealthServices, a branch of the countyhealth department.

We inspect all public poolsin the county and municipal

jurisdiction, said Tom Konsler,environmental health director forOrange County. Pools that fall in

our jurisdiction are apartments,

hotels, the YMCA and city parksthat have pools. We do not inspectprivately owned pools.

Konsler explained that in orderto pass inspection and be issuedan operation permit, pools mustexhibit proper water chemistryand meet all safety standards list-ed on the county health depart-ments website.

Tyler Phillips, operations man-ager of Granville Towers, describedhow the most important of thesesafety standards are those assesseddaily as part of the maintenanceroutine for a public pool.

We check pH and water levelson a daily basis, check all draincovers and pool safety equipment,ensure that the phone line by thepool is working and that the pooldeck area is cleaned, Phillips said.

Due to the high degree ofattentiveness required to properly

maintain a pool, the occurrenceof failing inspections is high, saidKonsler.

There are times when wewould go to a pool for inspectionand the water chemistry was outof kilter, Konsler said. At thatpoint its considered a criticalitem and warrants immediate clo-sure of the pool until they get thechemicals right and make what-ever corrections are necessary.

Maymester oers longer, compelling classesBy McCauley Peeler

Staff Writer

Ever wanted to study murderscenes and solve crimes like thesleuths in prime-time dramassuch as CSI? How about earningthree credit hours for it?

Maymester offers precisely thisopportunity.

Anthroplogy 423, Written inBone: CSI and the Science ofDeath Investigation, is just one of42 compelling courses offered tostudents beginning May 15.

Maymester, which theUniversity began offering five

years ago, is a term lasting threeweeks, and has become popularwith students because of its brev-ity.

Students like the option ofearning some credit and stillhaving most of the summer forinternships, jobs, study or travelabroad, says Jan Yopp, dean ofsummer school.

With only 15 to 30 seats perclass, Yopp says Maymester allowsgreater intimacy between pupilsand professors.

They like more interactionwith faculty.

Just one peek at the relativelyshort course list reveals that mostof the 42 courses are not typicalacademic material.

The Fourth Dimension: Artand the Fictions of Hyperspace,Emergency Care of Injuries andIllness, and European CinemaToday are just a few examples ofthe courses students can sign upfor.

One class, titled Heaven andHell, questions the existence of anafterlife by comparing scientificopinion to Christian and otherreligious sentiments.

Students have an emotionalattachment to ideas of life afterdeath and their perceptions areshaped by what they want it tolook like, says Randall Styers,professor of religious studies.

Instead of poring over dustyreligious texts, Styers designedthe class around art, films, multi-media and other interactive ele-ments.

In fact, interaction seems to bethe general theme of Maymester.

Many other courses emphasizethe use of films in their descrip-tions and many even include fieldtrips, some out of state.

We watch films and read fortwo weeks and then go down toCharleston for four days, saidHeather Williams, professor ofthe Maymester class Slavery andPlace: The South Carolina Case.

In the course, students examine

the history of slavery in the Southand then visit a defunct planta-tion in South Carolina.

We get to see chains and cab-ins that slaves used. Its very real,

Williams said.While students are expected

to gain as much as possible edu-cationally from the field trips, itsnot all study.

For one lesson, we dranksweet tea and ate hot biscuits inrocking chairs on the front porchof a historical site, Williams said.

Students also go out to res-

taurants and explore the life ofCharleston.

I made close friends veryquickly, said Mireille Vargas, whotook the class.

The majority of Maymesterclasses fulfill general educationrequirements, but achievingthis in three weeks is not for thefeeble.

Taking a Maymester courseis just about a full-time job, says

Yopp.Classes last three hours and 15

minutes each day and require seri-

ous investment outside of class.The recommendation is two

hours of homework of prepara-tion for each hour of class, says

Yopp.Whether or not sacrificing the

beginning of summer to elimi-nate some of next falls courseload is worth it, Maymester offersa quick, albeit not an easy way,to earn some credit and have fundoing it.

As humidity settles in theair and girls trade Ugg

boots for sandals, the paceof life in Chapel Hill changes.

Rarely will you see a studentracing across campus to get to

class in late May, and you mighteven get a table at Top of the Hillon a Friday night in June. ChapelHill is a different place aftergraduation day, but its a placethat every UNC student shouldexperience.

Transferring to UNC from aschool with just over 1,000 stu-dents was a challenge, to put itlightly.

After spending what seemedlike most of the year in an advis-ing office, I realized that sum-

mer school was going to be anunavoidable evil.But after the first few days

of a 14-person Maymester classand the occasional Saturdaynight spent drinking Diet Cokes

Summer: A time to get involved

on Franklin Street, Chapel Hillbecame more like the friendlyplace your parents friends alwaystalk about.

Maybe its the heat that slowseveryone down and makes peopleless concerned with which soror-ity youre in, but summer schoolturned out to be a blessing in

disguise.I met new best friends andfound parts of campus I neverknew existed.

While you wont see as manypeople yelling at you to support

their cause in the Pit over thesummer, its still a perfect andless intimidating time to getinvolved on campus.

Take The Daily Tar Heel, forexample.

During the school year, morethan 200 students walk throughthe office doors each week to

write and edit stories. Duringthe summer, we publish a weeklypaper with the help of maybe 25.Its an ideal time to get your namein print.

Whether youre a transfer stu-dent still trying to find your nicheor a more traditional student

who just doesnt want to spendthe summer at home, every stu-dent deserves to see what makes

Chapel Hill such a special anddifferent place during the offseason.

We live in Chapel Hill,

the town known asthe Southern partof heaven. In the fall, studentscome ready or maybe not soready to pick up their booksand start the day-to-day bustleto and from class in air that getscool and crisp around the endof October. In winter, the com-munity wraps itself up in variouscolored coats and bolts to thenearest coffee shop to escape theoh-so-freezing 53-degree tem-peratures. In spring, we watch the

flowers bloom on the trees andtry to escape the blanket of pollenthat covers our campus in yellow.But summer? What can I expectin summer?

This will be the first summer Ispend in Chapel Hill, but I grewup in the South, so Im pretty sureI know what to expect.

Temperatures will skyrocketinto the 90s, the humidity willmake my hair stick to my face,and Ill have to make sure to getmy morning run in before the

sun actually comes up. In a placelike Atlanta or Charlotte, my twohometowns, I would dread whatI like to call the wrath of theSouthern summer. Its the seasonof vacation, but its also the season

of sunburns, mosquito bites andheat exhaustion. Usually, I dreadit. But this year, Im thinkingthings will be different.

Maybe its because Ive neverbeen in Chapel Hill past May 3,but Im pretty sure that this placemaintains its beauty and mystique,despite boiling temperatures.

As school ends and the townquiets down, I imagine thingstake on a more relaxed feel. Whilemany students will hustle off tointernships and research oppor-tunities in other cities, those whodecide to stay and work here cansit back and watch as life slowsdown.

Maybe its because Ive listenedto Jimmy Buffets Margaritavilletoo often in the last couple of

long time.To beat the heat, maybe Illmake a daily trip to YoPo, orhead out to Raleigh and swimat the rock quarry. Ill hang out

with my friends, host a cookoutor play volleyball down on SouthCampus. Ill finally take a week-end trip to the mountains and

walk all of the trails in BattlePark.

And when the days over, Illfall asleep to the sound of cicadasin the night.

This town wouldnt be calledthe Southern part of heaven if itwerent heavenly all year round.Im still not looking forward tothose pesky mosquitoes, and Imalready stocking up on the Aloe

Vera and the bug spray.But I know this summer will be

one worth remembering, becauseIll spend it in a town that I loveand will never forget. I look for-

ward to the early morning runaround a quiet campus, the nightsout back at Hes Not and the

sweet smell of summer air on theHill. Im ready for summertime atUNC. Are you?

Heels prepare for 2012NCAA championship

By James PikeStaff Writer

The end of the 2011 season wasnothing short of disappointing forthe North Carolina softball team.

After losing to FloridaState in the ACC TournamentChampionship, the Tar Heelsfailed to qualify for the NCAAtournament snapping a streakof eight consecutive tournamentappearances in the process.

Ever since that loss, the teamhas been looking forward tothe 2012 season, with an eye onrebounding and returning to theNCAA tournament.

So far, the Tar Heels haveimproved upon their 34-21 recordfrom 2011. After the game on

April 7 against Virginia, NorthCarolina held a 27-10 record,and was ranked 23rd in the USAToday NCAA Softball Rankings.

Even though North Carolinaplays in a tough conference, itsusing midweek, non-conferencegames as motivation, too.

The motivation the girls haveis from last year, coach DonnaPapa said after a game withSouth Carolina earlier in the sea-

son. We didnt get into regional,and one of the things we kind ofuse as our war cry is these mid-

week games are pivotal for us.Pitcher Lori Spingola has

played a large part in the TarHeels success this year. The soph-omore from Atlanta has 18 victo-ries this season and is tied for the5th highest number of victories inthe nation.

In addition, Spingola is tiedfor third in the nation with nineshutouts.

However, the Tar Heels roadto the NCAA tournament is notentirely clear. Their main obstacleis Florida State, which is the top-ranked team in the ACC.

North Carolina was tied at thetop of the ACC standings with theSeminoles before they droppedtwo games of a three-game seriesto FSU in Tallahassee in April.

They were definitely ver y,very confident in themselves,Constance Orr said of theSeminoles after the FSU series.

They played smart, tookadvantage of their space whenthey had it and moved runners

when they should have, she said.They did everything we couldnt

do.Also in contention for the con-

ference title are the Georgia TechYellow Jackets, who have movedup to second place in the ACCafter nine straight in-conference

victories. The Virginia Tech Hokiesare contenders, too, and are only ahalf-game behind the Tar Heels.

UNC will not face Florida Stateagain in the regular season, butthe Tar Heels will host the YellowJackets in a three-game series at

Anderson Stadium on April 21 and22. It will be a crucial series for

both teams, with the two seed inthe ACC tournament likely at stake.

This year, the ACCTournament will mean more toNorth Carolina than it usuallydoes. The Tar Heels will not just

be in contention fo r a confer-ence title they will also hostthe tournament, which will takeplace May 10-12.

A strong run in the conferencetournament should see the TarHeels back in the NCAA tourna-ment and the seasons missionaccomplished.

against the Blue Devils on March 16.

By Jonathan LaMantiaStaff Writer

While the North Carolinas menslacrosse team has won games as anunderdog and lost games as a heavyfavorite, UNCs womens lacrosseteam has only one blemish on itsrecord as the two teams edge closerto the postseason.

The No. 9 mens lacrosse team(8-4, ACC 1-2) suffered a homeloss to unranked Lehigh for thefirst time since 1951 and lost inits first trip ever to Franklin Fieldagainst Penn in successive gamesin early March.

After a comeback fell shortat Duke on March 16, UNC wasreeling, but an ACC win againstMaryland lifted the teams spirits.

The Tar Heels continued theirsurge with a 13-9 victory againsttop-ranked Johns Hopkins infront of a crowd of 25,934 thelargest crowd for a lacrosse-onlyevent in history at MetlifeStadium in East Rutherford, N.J.

The Tar Heels relied on theirX-factor on the face-off X, R.G.Keenan, to win 18 faceoffs. Keenanis ranked fifth in the nation with aface-off win percentage of .633.

Were back, Keenan said afterthe upset victory April 1. We hada rough patch against Lehigh andPenn, but we know how we canplay. We proved that we can play

with anybody and beat anybody.The Tar Heels will need to uti-

lize that mentality if they plan tobring a national championshipback to Chapel Hill for the firsttime since 1991.

Last year the Tar Heels fellto ACC foe Maryland in the firstround of a tournament that wouldsee three of the ACCs four teamsreach the semifinals.

As the No. 2 UNC womenslacrosse team (13-1, 5-0 ACC) eyesits first-ever championship, it hasone team clearly marked in itscrosshairs Northwestern.

Northwestern has won six of thelast seven national championshipsand ended UNCs 2011 campaignon a game-winning goal with 18seconds remaining in the NCAAsemifinals. The Wildcats also beatUNC in a 2010 NCAA semifinaland the 2009 national title game.

Captain Becky Lynch said beforethe season that the team lookedforward to avenging those losses.

Its always in the back of ourminds that they have been the one

to sort of end our season the lastthree years so of course they havea target, Lynch said.

Since 1991, Virginia, Maryland,Princeton and Northwestern havecombined to capture each of thelast 21 national titles.

The Tar Heels have beaten ACCfoes Duke and Maryland, droppingonly one game against Georgetownin Washington, D.C., where theHoyas overcame a three-goal deficitto beat UNC.

North Carolina has three of thenations top 50 scorers in sopho-more Abbey Friend, senior LauraZimmerman and Lynch. The TarHeels also boast the nations sec-ond-best scoring defense, averaging6.38 goals per game with juniorgoalie Lauren Maksym in net.

UNC will face Northwestern inEvansville, Ill., on April 13 beforethe ACC tournament kicks off inDurham on April 20.

Whats hitting box ofces

this summer?

May 4: The AvengersWith pretty much everyonesfavorite Marvel characters com-bined into one film, Avengersstands to be the epitome of agood summer popcorn flick.Iron Man, Captain America,Hulk, Thor and his nemesis Lokiare all accounted for.

May 11: The Dictator

There probably wont be muchgroundbreaking in The Dicta-tor, but were probably stillgoing to be drawn like mothsto the flame to see Sacha BaronCohen. Its a story of a dictatorwhos risked his life to makesure democracy never makesit to the country he so lovinglyoppresses well see how theymanage to work Cohens crotchinto the plot.

May 11: Where Do We Go NowIn a Lebanese village thatsbasically separated from reality,

the women of the town work tokeep unity between Christiansand Muslims by blocking outthe Middle-Eastern conflictfrom village life whether

thats through hiding TVs orcreating ridiculous distractions.If youre looking for somethingdeep, Where Do We Go Nowis a moving depiction of thesocietal construct of war anddifference.

May 25: Men in Black IIIIs Hollywood exploiting ourmutual nostalgia for Men InBlack I & II by reviving thedecade-old series and milking

a franchise? Short answer: yes.Long answer: definitely. Butyou just cant miss the comboof Tommy Lee Jones and WillSmith on screen. Im sure theyllwrap up the series nicely andleave no room for another MIB.

June 8: PrometheusA prequel to the Alien series,but with its own mythology,Prometheus follows the crewof a spaceship as they explore

an advanced alien civilization.Its a quest for the origin of hu-manity that echoes the search

for the second obelisk in 2001:A Space Odyssey. Its RidleyScott and sci-fi nuff said.

June 22: Abraham Lincoln: Vam-

pire HunterIt started with Pride andPrejudice and Zombies Seth Grahame-Smiths liter-ary mashup novel wherebycorrupting Jane Austens workwith the dead, the dreadfullyboring came to life. But beforewe get to see P&P&Z on thebig screen in 2013, well getto see Grahame-Smiths otheradaptation, Abraham Lincoln:Vampire Hunter with Tim

Burton producing. Wait, what?What did I just write?

August 3: The Bourne LegacyReboot all the series! With stu-dios creativity asymptoticallyapproaching its nadir (blamepiracy), someone somewherehas signed off on yet anotherrecreation of a series thats stillwell within the modern movielexicon. (Spider-Man also getsa reboot Aug. 3.) Matt Damon

and Jason Bourne are out;Jeremy Renner and Aaron Crossare in.

DIVERECOMMENDS Summer Movies

By Allison HusseyAssistant Diversions Editor

Releases to look orward tothis summer:

April 24: Jack White

BlunderbussThe end of April isnt quite

summertime, but this recordwill be too good to pass up.Jack White first formed theband that launched him tofame, The White Stripes, in1997, making it hard to believethat it has taken the manwho has been such a force onmodern rock n roll almost 15

years to release a solo album.The singles that have beenreleased so far are promising they combine Jacks signaturebluesy-rock songwriting witha little bit of soul and more.Sixteen Saltines is a pound-ing rock tune with a guitar riffthat packs a significant punch,while Love Interruption fea-tures an organ bit reminiscentof Dusty Springfields classictune Son of a Preacher Man.

None of Whites other projectshave disappointed so far, and itdoesnt sound like Blunderbusswill either.

May 28: Sigur Ros

ValtariAfter slowly revealing a

handful of summer festivaldates in Europe, Icelandic post-rockers Sigur Ros have finallyannounced a new record,which can be in your handsas soon as May 28. The wordepic is a well-worn adjective,but it perfectly sums up SigurRos entire catalog: sweeping,orchestral songs that even onthe worst set of speakers are

almost tear-inducingly beauti-ful. With what little informationis available about Valtari, itseems like Sigur Ros will be fol-lowing its tried and true meth-ods. The band has only releasedone track from the album sofar, Ekki Mkk, a slow, driftingtrack that evokes images of anevening spent at the beach.Regardless of what directionthe rest of the record goes, youcan safely bet that every song

on it will be grand, gorgeousand impossible to pronounce.

June 19: Fiona Apple

The Idler Wheel is Wiser than the

Driver of the Screw, and Whipping

Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes

Will Ever DoIf you think this album title

is a mouthful, we recommendtaking a look back at Apples1999 record When the Pawn...

This record is only Applesfourth full-length, but its beena long time coming someof the songs have supposedlybeen done since late 2010.Part of Apples appeal is her

elusiveness: The Idler Wheel... isher first album in seven years,and she tends to stay out ofthe public eye. The buzz ofTheIdler Wheel... was enough forApple to draw thousands offans to her unofficial return tothe stage in March at the Southby Southwest music festival.Apples chops as a songwriterand consistently rich, intrigu-ing songs make this one recordyoull want to grab.
