NOTED. You’ve got to be kitten us.Urban Outfitters celebrated NationalCat Day by offering the chance to adopta free cat with each purchase, waiving
adoption fees. Your move, Student Stores. A kittenmight make the textbook-buying processa little more paw-sitive.
QUOTED. “It’s not like biblical proportions.”— A meteorologist saying exactly what
a meteorologist would say about a swarmof grasshoppers and beetles so large it was
picked up by radar while heading towardOklahoma if he were trying to convince usthe end of times are not upon us. Nice try,National Weather Service.
Summer birthdays suck. Spent at home away from friends, it’s
hard to make a summer birthday feel special. But one Louisiana
couple found a way to spice up their 2-year-old son’s summer
birthday party with a Morris Bart theme. Who’s Morris Bart,
you ask? A personal injury lawyer and local celebrity from his TV com-
mercials — not the typical subject of a birthday party theme.
The party was such a success, but there’s no reason to stop there at
personal injury lawyers. There are plenty of sources for birthday party
theme inspiration right here in Chapel Hill! Imagine a Carol Folt-themed
21st birthday bash with invitations sent via public records request, asking
guests to come dressed as their favorite Board of Governors member. In
lieu of presents, bring official transcripts.
Happy summer birthdays!From staff and wire reports

New homeless shelter near completion A version of this article
previously ran in the June 18edition of The Daily Tar Heel.
By Rachel HerzogSenior Writer
The Chapel Hill-CarrboroInter-Faith Council for SocialService’s men’s homeless shel-ter and community kitchen
will soon have a new home. While the new location
at 1315 Martin Luther KingJr. Boulevard is farther fromdowntown Chapel Hill, thenew shelter will offer morespace and services.
The new shelter is scheduledto open in mid-September.
“The exterior walls are up. All of the steel is in. The brickis going up on the outside,”Peter Kamel, IFC’s construc-tion manager, said.
With materials supplied byIFC, the total cost of the proj-ect is about $4 million.
Kamel said there has beena lot of positive feedback fromthe community — in termsof both word of mouth andfinancial support. The shelterhas received donations fromthe State Employees’ CreditUnion, which the shelter will
be named after; UNC HealthCare and School of Medicine;and the Kenan family.
“We’ve had very good resultsand good feedback fromeverybody in Chapel Hill andCarrboro,” Kamel said. “Wedon’t have anyone mad at us.”
The town will decide whatto do with the RosemaryStreet building that currentlyhouses the shelter. The build-ing was once the Town Hall
but now needs work on its
roof and interior, and Kamelsaid it will likely be preservedfor its historical value.
The first thing residentsand passersby will noticeabout the new shelter is thatit’s bigger — at 16,543 squarefeet, it’s roughly twice as largeas the old location.
The new shelter will offerfree health services on site,
with four medical suitesand two dental suites run byPiedmont Health ServicesInc., which the RosemaryStreet location did not offer.
The new shelter is alsoclose to multiple churchesand in a nicer area, Kamelsaid, for residents to go out
and find jobs. The shelter willalso have a community gar-den where residents can growtheir own vegetables.
“Right now you’ve got 40people, and if you want to gooutside, you can go outsideand sit in the parking lot,”Kamel said.“There are walkingpaths, facilities where they canget outside and actually havesome solitude instead of min-gling with the traffic.”
But there is some concernabout the new shelter beingfarther from downtownChapel Hill.
For Peter, a homeless man
in the downtown area whoasked that his last name not beused, the change will cost himan extra half hour for everymeal he visits the shelter for.
“It’s on the NS line, so weekdays it won’t be a prob-lem for people going there formeals,” he said. “People stay-ing there, it shouldn’t be a big
deal. They’ll just take a bus toget into town.”
Charles Gear, who is alsohomeless, said he thinks thedistance from downtown willdiscourage panhandling.
“Some of the people stayat the shelter, and they’re stillout here asking people formoney,” he said.
Gear said he was bannedfrom the Rosemary Street loca-tion but will be allowed at thenew one, which he plans to usefor meals and other services.
Jan Broughton, a mem- ber of the Ethical HumanistSociety of the Triangle, saidthe new location, while far-ther away, is still accessible
for the people who need it.“The clients that are going to
be there are able to handle thetransportation needs,” she said.
Broughton said membersare supportive of the change.
“We’re really looking for- ward to it,” she said.

This article was compiled from two articles that previ-ously ran in the June 25 edi-tion of The Daily Tar Heel.
By Stephanie LammUniversity Editor
Legendary UNC chancellorand longtime law professor
William B. Aycock died June20 at the age of 99.
Aycock was chancellor from1957 to 1964 and taught at theUNC law school for 29 years.
He became chancellorafter UNC President WilliamFriday asked him to take over.
“I’d be happy to take aturn,” Aycock said, though histrue love was teaching.
In 1963, after the N.C.General Assembly passed a law
banning speakers with com-munist ties from visiting cam-pus, Aycock began a relentlesscampaign to promote freespeech at the University.
Aycock hired Dean Smithas the UNC men’s basketballcoach after the previous coachresigned amid a scandal.
Aycock’s last public appear-ance at the University wasfor the ceremony announc-ing Martin Brinkley, a closefriend of his, as the next dean
of the law school.“He so epitomizes every -
thing good about what UNCis supposed to be,” Brinkleysaid. “He stood for exchang-ing ideas and having people
with diverse backgrounds andexperiences working together.”
Aycock was born on a farmin Wilson County in 1915.
He graduated from N.C.State University, where he
was student body president.He went to UNC for his mas-ter’s degree in history.
When he returned fromduty in World War II, hedrove through the night to getto the law school at UNC. Hegraduated first in his class.
In his final year in lawschool, a professor asked
William Aycock to teach theclass when he was ill.
The dean was so impressedthat he offered Aycock a teach-ing position at the school.
During William Aycock’stime as chancellor, theUniversity saw an increase of500 students each year dueto the baby boom. William
Aycock created expansionprojects to accommodate thegrowing student body despitefacing budget cuts from theN.C. legislature.
Colleagues recalled hisprincipled leadership while theUniversity community grap-pled with civil rights, women’sliberation, the Vietnam Warand communism.
“He was a quiet, solid, brickof a leader,” said Jock Lauterer,a senior lecturer in the Schoolof Media and Journalism, who
worked as a photographerfor The Daily Tar Heel dur-ing William Aycock’s time aschancellor. “We knew a firmhand was on the tiller.”
William Aycock played aninstrumental role in overturn-ing the General Assembly’sspeaker ban law, which pro-hibited speakers with “com-munist ties” from visitingUNC’s campus.
He traveled the statespeaking out against the ban,providing the basis for thelegal critique that eventuallyoverturned the law in 1968.
“We knew the Universityhad a great friend in Aycock;nobody ever doubted that,”Lauterer said.
Following sanctions fromthe NCAA, William Aycockforced basketball coach FrankMcGuire, who won a nationalchampionship with UNCin 1957, to resign. To fill the
Former Chancellor William Aycock died at 99 vacancy, he promoted theassistant coach, Dean Smith.
“He hired Dean Smith because of his values,” JackBoger, a professor at theSchool of Law, said.
“Smith had a bad firstcouple of years, and he was
hung in effigy by students, but Aycock wouldn’t get ridof him because he thought he
was a good person.” When a basketball player
took a $75 bribe for point shav -ing, William Aycock suspendedhim immediately. Students
protested the suspension infront of William Aycock’s housein the middle of the night.
Instead of sending the stu-dents home, he held a townhall-style discussion with them

The story was complied from two previous articlesthat ran in the June 25 and July 9 editions of The Dailytar Heel.

Senior Writers
In the weeks after UNCannounced it had extendedthe contracts of three coaches,several people sent letters tothe University’s administrationaccusing the program of notsupporting UNC women’s bas-ketball coach Sylvia Hatchell.
On June 19, the Universityand UNC men’s basketballCoach Roy Williams agreed toextend his contract through2020. UNC also extended thecontracts of women’s tenniscoach Brian Kalbas and wom-
en’s lacrosse coach Jenny Levy. Also on June 19, Allisha
Gray, who led the women’s basketball team with 15.8points per game duringher sophomore campaign,announced that she was trans-ferring to South Carolina.
Hours after Gray saidshe would be a Gamecock,Stephanie Mavunga, the TarHeels’ All-ACC center, wasgiven a release to exploretransferring.
If Mavunga decides to trans-fer, she would be the fourth
and final player from UNC’sNo. 1 ranked class of 2013 to doso, following in the footstepsof Diamond DeShields, Jessica
Washington and Gray.The last time Williams’
contract was extended in 2011,Hatchell’s was as at the sametime as well as Coach MikeFox of the UNC baseball team.
Letters from supportersJacqueline Koss, DianneGlover, Christine Kepleyand Brenda Paul call for theDepartment of Athletics toextend Hatchell’s contract asa vote of confidence in theaftermath of the release of theNCAA’s Notice of Allegations.
In an interview with TheDaily Tar Heel, Koss said that
while Williams’ extension wasdeserved, Hatchell needs theUniversity’s support while theprogram has come under fire.
Glover said Hatchell has become a symbol of resil-ience for the University afterHatchell’s battle with cancer.
“You have no idea the fightthis woman has,” Glover said
in her letter. “… And nowBubba Cunnigham (sic) andthe University is making herand women’s basketball thesacrificial lamb for somethingthat has been proven she hadabsolutely nothing to do with.”
On June 4, the Universityreleased the Notice of
Allegations that it had receivedfrom the NCAA a little morethan two weeks before.
In the NCAA’s findings, JanBoxill, an academic adviser forthe women’s basketball pro-gram, was cited for unethicalconduct after enrolling playersinto fake independent studycourses and paper classes.
After Mavunga’s release,Hatchell said in a statementthat discussion about thefuture of the program waspremature.
“There has been a lot of
speculation surrounding ourprogram in recent weeks, andthat’s all that it is — specula -tion,” Hatchell said.
Despite Hatchell’s state-ment, several pundits havepointed to the NCAA inves-tigation and the Notice of
Allegations as the mainculprits for why players havedecided to leave the program.
“This is the period you gothrough … where (the NCAA)holds a dagger over your head,”sports blogger Brian Barboursaid. “People, in a reaction to
what that dagger might bring,do things like transfer or don’tcommit to the school in gener-
al. And this is massive, becauseit’s actual penalties before youget to the penalty phase.”
Jacqueline Koss, who saysshe has been a colleague ofHatchell’s for over 40 years,
said that UNC’s administrationmay have coerced Hatchell intogranting the releases.
“Sylvia is far, far too suc-cessful and too intelligent tohave wanted to allow that tohappen,” she said.
Barbour said the effects onthe program’s future recruit-ing classes could be alarming.
“As for what goes on in theclass of 2017, the class of 2018,
yeah I think those classes arepretty well toast,” he said.
Barbour said he believesHatchell will retire after this
year.
Coach SylviaHatchell isfacing scrutinyof her programwhile support-ers demandher contractbe extended.
Future of women’s basketball team is murky
NC couples celebrate marriage equality A version of this article pre-
viously ran in the July 2 edi-tion of The Daily Tar Heel.
By Liz BellState & National Editor
Katy Folk wants to take amoment to let it soak in.
Folk, a UNC senior, andher fiancee, Danielle Martin,a recent George WashingtonUniversity graduate, are start-ing to plan their wedding fornext May.
Although the preparationstill brings challenges — likefinding everything from a
bakery to a venue that acceptssame-sex couples — June 26
was a break from the chaos.“There’s no reason that you
can’t take a minute and behappy,” Folk said.
The Supreme Court of theUnited States decided June
26 that same-sex coupleshave the right to marry in all50 states.
The 5-4 decision grantedthat state bans on gay mar-riage are unconstitutionalunder the 14th Amendmentand that all states must recog-
nize marriage licenses of gayand lesbian couples.
Gay marriage has beenlegal in North Carolinasince October 2014, but theSupreme Court ruling acts
as a final affirmation to N.C.couples who still had to worryabout traveling across state
borders or the possibility ofan appeals decision overturn-ing their right to marry.
“It’s nice to be seen asequal in the eyes of the law,”said Al Thorn, owner ofTriangle Web Printing inDurham, which prints TheDaily Tar Heel. “March 6” isengraved into Thorn’s wed-ding ring — the date he andhis husband eloped.
Thorn said after N.C. mar-riage equality was achieved last
year, he started hearing of a billin the legislature that wouldallow magistrates to opt out of
officiating same-sex marriages based on religious beliefs.“We thought, ‘Gosh, what if
something really bad happens? We’ll go ahead and get married while we can,’” he said. “It wasnice to have it all affirmed.”
Martin and Folk said they
are aware there is still work to be done in the fight for lesbian,gay, bisexual and transgenderpeople to be treated equally.
The N.C. legislature over-turned Gov. Pat McCrory’s
veto in June, enacting intolaw the bill Thorn feared.“It’s so ridiculous,” Martin
said of the law. The couplesaid they doubt the bill willaffect them personally sincethe counties where they liveand where they want to getmarried are both liberal.
“Of course there’s so muchmore that has to be done,”Folk said.
N.C. American CivilLiberties Union spokesmanMike Meno said although thedecision is a monumental vic-tory, N.C. same-sex couplesare still not guaranteed equaltreatment in all spheres of theirlives. He pointed to housing
and workplace discrimination.“We, today, live in a state where a same-sex couple couldget married over the weekend,and on Monday they couldcome to work and put a pic-ture of their happy weddingmoment on their desk and get
fired,” Meno said.He said the N.C. ACLU is
working to make sure bothsame-sex parents can havetheir names on their child’s
birth certificate.“There’s still a lot that the
ACLU and other groups haveto focus on to ensure that thepromises of equal protection
under the U.S. Constitutiontruly apply to everybody,
regardless of who you are or who you love.”For now, the ruling brings
some certainty to gay couples who want to get married.
“Now we finally have that50-state answer that peoplehave been waiting for,” Meno
said.“For couples in North
Carolina who have been ableto have state recognition oftheir marriage since October,I think this was a very impor-tant reminder that the free-dom to marry is here to stay.”

Wrestling coach C.D. Mock fired A version of this article pre-
viously ran in the July 2 edi-tion of The Daily Tar Heel.
By Stephanie Lamm and Jeremy Verno n
Senior Writers
C.D. Mock, UNC’s for-mer wrestling coach who
was fired in June, says theUniversity violated his First
Amendment rights . After his son Corey Mock
was found guilty of sexualassault by the University ofTennessee-Chattanooga’s
judicial system, C.D. Mock began a blog denouncing col-lege sexual assault policies.
C.D. Mock said his firingmight have been related tohis views.
“My wife and I feel thatthere is a tremendous amountof injustice in this particularsubject, and the fact that Icould be being fired for that issomething that concerns us,”he said.
Director of Athletics BubbaCunningham announced C.D.Mock’s termination on June 12.
Cunningham said C.D.Mock was fired because ofhis performance.
“It was simply time for a
change,” Cunningham said inan email. “The wrestling pro-gram had fallen short of theexpectations we have for all ofour teams at UNC.”
Corey Mock said his father
was fired because of his stanceon sexual assault policies.“Firing him now doesn’t
make sense if you look ateverything in context,” he said.
C.D. Mock said he isunsure if he will disputethe firing. As a non-facultyExempt from the Personnel
Act employee, he has few pro-tections against termination.
Under the protected activ-ity clause of the non-facultyEPA employment policies,employment must not inter-fere with First Amendmentrights except for limitationson political activity. However,his terms of employmentmay have included other
policies about his conduct.In his 2003 appointment let-ter, the University only listedNCAA or ACC violations andcriminal activity as causes fortermination.
“His level of employmentis probably given the leastamount of protection againstquestionable termination prac-tices,” Mike Tadych, a lawyer
with Stevens Martin Vaughn& Tadych PLLC. “So then wehave to look at what other rea-sons would there have been toterminate him at this point andsee if those are valid.”
C.D. Mock said the wres-
tling program was going to bestrong this year.
“I cannot speak for theUniversity, but it seems to methat he was let go for reasonsother than performance,” saidassistant coach Kyle Kiss.
Tadych said the termina -tion may have a chilling effecton faculty.
“There’s this gross mis-conception that studentsshould be able to weigh inon what professors teach or
don’t teach,” he said. “I thinkthey devalue the purpose of aliberal arts education by notexposing themselves to thesecompeting viewpoints.”

ings of ensembles, artists inresidence and several other col-laborations that really focus onforming relationships with thecommunity and the universitystudents,” Amy Russell, CPA’sdirector of programming said.
The 2015-16 season focus-es on connecting the commu-nity to the performers — amission they are accomplish-ing through the artists andthe setting.
“We are trying something
new this year in terms of stu-dent seating,” Mark Nelson,director of marketing andcommunications said. “Wealways reserve 300 of the1,300 seats for students, butthis year we are committing100 seats in the first four rowsof Memorial Hall to students.”
From the front, students will be able to connect with violin-ist Gil Shaham who will appear
with the UNC SymphonyOrchestra, The Knights and
visual artist David Michalek.Max Lerfer, Shaham’s
publicist, has worked withthe violinist for six years andsaid Shaham never stopsreinventing himself.
“He’s one of the moreapproachable musicians at hislevel,” Lerfer said. “And he’sthrilled to be teaching a mas-ter class at Carolina.”
Dancers such as Memphis’Lil Buck and singer-song-
writers like Abigail Washburn will serve as collaborators-in-residence and perform withmembers of Yo-Yo Ma’s SilkRoad Ensemble.
“We are trying to make theshows accessible to students,
like with Lil Buck, who will be someone they can relateto and might find interesting.
We want CPA to be part of the bucket list of things they wantto do,” Nelson said.

America n Studie s, is al so theinaugural postdoctoral fel-low for Arts@TheCore — aprogram that aims to con-nect University faculty withCPA performances.
“I act as the liaison between the artists and facul-ty to see what they would liketo explore,” Shackelford said.“And this season has manyopportunities for exploration.”
CPA expands its sea -son with a production of“Antigone,” featuring Oscar-
winning actress JulietteBinoche — a show Shackelfordsaid he is looking forward to.
“It not only has amazingactors and is one of the old-est pieces of literature, but itconnects to a huge range ofinterests from social work tothe medical school,” he said.
Four ensembles will alsomake their North Carolina
debuts — The ChicagoSymphony Orchestra,Paris-based EnsembleIntercontemporain, theBavarian Radio SymphonyOrchestra and early musicgroup Les Arts Florissants.
“This season pursues theidea of collaboration andreally strives to identify artists
who are charging ahead withnew ideas,” Shackelford said.

In June, UNC’s accreditingagency placed the Universityon probation for one year
while it continues to monitorthe academic climate.
The Board of Trustees forthe Southern Associationof Colleges and SchoolsCommission on Colleges,
which grants UNC itsaccreditation status, madethe decision at its biannualmeeting on Thursday. In July,UNC released a letter fromSACSCOC detailing the com-mission’s full findings.
In a statement, ChancellorCarol Folt stressed that the
University will maintain itsaccreditation, and the pro-
bationary period will allowSACSCOC to ensure themore than 70 reforms imple-mented by her administra-
tion have brought UNC backinto compliance with theorganization’s standards.
“There are people whosehearts have been feeling
broken that all th eir workcould be something that theycan’t be proud of, and I amso proud of them,” Folt said.“We are doing everything wecan, and we are resting onthe work of all who broughtus here.”
Probation is one step abovea warning and one step awayfrom loss of accreditation.SACSCOC usually placeseight to 10 institutions onprobation each year.
Universities may be put
on probation for no morethan two years, after whichthe commission must makea final decision on theschool’s accreditation status.In the past 10 years, only six
institutions have lost theiraccreditation status.The probationary period will
not cause the University to losefederal grant money, which
would occur if the Universitylost its accreditation.
“The consequence isthat it’s a black eye on theUniversity,” said SACSCOCpresident Belle Wheelan.“They have a shorter period oftime to come into compliancethan they would if they had
been on warning. But it’s stilla fully accredited institution.The degrees are still fine.”
In November, after therelease of the Wainsteinreport, SACSCOC cited the
University for failing tocomply with 18 accreditationstandards. The Universityresponded to SACSCOC inJanuary with a case for main-taining its accreditation in a
223-page report. At Thursday’s meeting, theSACSCOC board accepted11 of the responses. For theseven standards that were notaccepted, the board requestedmore sufficient responses ormore time to see the reformstake effect.
“We have the utmostconfidence in our presentcompliance and in the effec-tiveness of the many reformsimplemented in recent yearsand will embrace the oppor-tunity during the one-yearperiod of probation to provethat even further,” Folt saidin a statement.
Those seven standards
concern academic integrity,program content, controlof collegiate athletics, aca-demic support services, therole of faculty governanceand federal Title IV program
responsibility.The University has ninemonths to issue a response,and the accrediting board
will vote on UNC’s accredi -tation status next June.SACSCOC may choose totake UNC off probation,extend the probationary peri-od by another year or dropUNC’s membership.
Wheelan said she ispleased with the administra-tion’s response.
“So far (the administration)has been very cooperative,and the board took that intoconsideration when they putthem on sanction,” Wheelansaid. “They felt that this was
something that the currentadministration inherited andthat they had jumped rightout there and done what theycould to make it right.”
Folt said she expects
members of SACSCOC tocome to campus within thenext year to evaluate thereforms made by the currentadministration.
“They want to say, ‘Let’smake sure this is still going.
What is in place? Let’s verifyit’s in place, it’s being takenseriously,’” Folt said. “That’stheir job, and this is themechanism through whichthey feel that they can do it
because it also allows themto have a committee comehere and talk to us face-to-face, which of course, we
welcome that.”

While students returnto campus, they may noticeUniversity police officers
wearing body cameras.Randy Young, spokesman
for the UNC Department ofPublic Safety, said the depart-ment first considered camerasin spring 2013. However, theidea gained traction afterincreased media coverage ofpolice brutality.
“People tend to be more pos-itive when they realize camerasare being used,” Young said. “Itenhances accountability from
both citizens and officers.”In February, Matt Fajack,
vice chancellor for financeand administration, approvedDPS Chief Jeff McCracken’srequest for $60,000 from theUniversity to fund the bodycamera program.
With his background in datamanagement, Justin Kreft,a graduate student studyingpublic administration at theUNC School of Government,researched law enforcementagencies equipped with bodycameras in order to study chal-lenges of storing and retrievingdata collected by the cameras.
Kreft concluded from hisresearch that a law enforce-
ment agency about twice thesize of DPS with a three-monthretention policy for all videorecords would have, on aver-age, an entire data storageoverhead of 6 terabytes, 9,600files and 3,330 hours of video.
Kreft cited a qualitativeresponse from one agency,
which said that every requestfor edits to footage for privacyor legal reasons takes, onaverage, 10 times its length tohave someone review it.
Kreft said measuring theimpact of the data produced
by the cameras requires carefulattention to not only size of thedata but the number of filesand length of total footage.
Kreft said that these dis-parities will create large filesthat are hard to store but easy
to find or smaller files thatare easier to store but moredifficult to find.
“There’s no comprehen-sive answer out there at all,”Kreft said.
Kreft said these challengesand the associated costs are notalways considered.
Young said that accessibilityof the stored data is important,especially when consideringdata that may be stored for aconsiderable amount of time.
“We have to think long andhard about who has access,and why,” Kreft said.
He said increased publicinformation requests wouldonly increase associated costs.
Young said that the publicrecords office will handlerequests for footage, and thestatus of the incident’s inves-tigation will impact what’savailable to the public.
Placing body cameras onpolice is still a relatively newpractice, and Young said thatit’s taken careful consider-ation regarding equipmentand policy decisions.
The official policy govern-ing the use of body cameras
within the department must go before the Office of UniversityCounsel and the Universityadministration for approval.
Young said he expects thepolicy will be finalized within
the next few weeks. After field-testing five
models, the departmentpurchased 50 of the popular
Axon Body models by a com-pany called TASER, Youngsaid. This model supportscloud-based storage.
Keith Whitley, a juniorstudying computer scienceand economics, said he
believes the increased surveil-lance on campus is worth therisk of unanticipated costs.
“It’ll be another deterrentfrom situations escalating,and it promotes neutrality,”
Whitley said.

Lauren Fortkort, a co-owner of the new country bar on Rosemary Street, poses behind one of Country Fried Duck’s three bars.
Country Fried Duck has opened its doors A version of this article pre-
viously ran in the July 2 edi-tion of The Daily Tar Heel.
By Camila MolinaStaff Writer
If you ever hear ShaniaTwain’s song “I Feel Like a
Woman” while walking downRosemary Street, it’s prob-
ably coming from CountryFried Duck.
Scott Kleczkowski and hisfiancee Lauren Fortkort offi-cially opened Country FriedDuck, a country-themed bar,for business on June 26 aftera slight delay.
The bar is located at 157E. Rosemary St. When thecouple first signed the lease,they estimated that the busi-ness would open in May.
“This is my baby,” Fortkortsaid.
The couple signed the leasein March and have been reno-
vating since then in prepara-tion for the opening.
The space on Rosemary
Street where Country FriedDuck is located used to beoccupied by The Heel, a
bar that closed about sevenmonths after its opening whenthe owner relocated to Florida.
The Heel was also shutdown because of buildingcode violations and the neces-sity to refile its liquor andalcohol permits.
Kleczkowski and Fortkortsaid they first met at EastEnd Oyster and Martini Baron Franklin Street years ago.They said they both haveexperience in the serviceindustry, so opening a bar wasthe next step for them.
“There’s nothing like this inChapel Hill,” Fortkort said.
The 4,400-square-footspace features aluminum
walls, wooden tables and art- work hanging on the walls tocreate an atmosphere imitat-ing country life.
The space includes threedifferent bars — two insideand one outside — servingsix local draft beers and eight
different options of bottled beer. The interior has twopool tables and plenty ofdancing room.
The bar has attracted a wide range of guests so far.
Employee Tony Mellonsaid he has noticed both N.C.State University and DukeUniversity fans, UNC stu-dents, business owners and
even people visiting fromother countries mingling atthe bar.
Adam Huskins, a resi-dent from Cedar Grove, saidhe heard about the bar onFacebook.
Lauren Wimple, fromChapel Hill, and JamieHockaday, from Butner, saidthey heard about CountryFried Duck from word ofmouth and were impressed byits uniqueness.
“It has its own concept,”Hockaday said.
The bar is open to indi- viduals 21 and older, butthe couple said they plan onopening the doors to 18-year-
olds in the future.Possible plans for expand-
ing also include live perfor-mances from local artists anddisc jockeys, Kleczkowski andFortkort said.
The bar is a good replace-ment for East End Oyster andMartini Bar, which closed inJune 2014, said Will Riley,
who went to the bar during
its opening weekend. Although he said he wasn’t
a fan of country music,employee Kyle Lovin said heloves the bar’s atmosphere.
The new bar also features amechanical bull — an attrac-tion other bars in downtownChapel Hill don’t offer.
Huskins said he enjoyedthis aspect of the bar.
“It can’t throw me off because I know how to ride a bull,” he said.
“I have plenty of bulls. Ilive on a farm. On a mechani-cal bull, you just move along
with it.”

NCAA may impose sanctions on UNC A version of this article pre-
viously ran in the June 11 edi-tion of The Daily Tar Heel.
By Stephanie Lammand Jeremy Vernon
Senior Writers
Official penalties for 18 years of academic irregulari-ties at the University of NorthCarolina may come within the
year from the NCAA.The notice of allegations
laid out the NCAA’s caseagainst UNC. The NCAAissued five allegations which
were deemed level-one viola-tions, accusing UNC of a lackof institutional control. Three
violations concerned imper-missible benefits given tostudent-athletes in the formof academic help in indepen-dent study courses.
Like the report by Kenneth
Wainstein released inOctober, the NCAA inves-tigation focused on JuliusNyang’oro, former chair of
the Department of Africanand Afro-American Studies;Deborah Crowder, a formeradministrator in the depart-ment; and Jan Boxill, a for-mer academic counselor for
women’s basketball, philoso-phy professor and director ofthe Parr Center for Ethics.
In the 732 pages of support-ing evidence, Boxill, Crowderand Nyang’oro openly dis-cussed enrolling student-ath-letes in paper classes and giv-ing them extensions or extrahelp on assignments.
In an email to two students who plagiarized an AFAMpaper, Crowder gave the stu-dents an extra week to redothe paper without reportingthe incident.
“You know you two aresome of my favorites — I amsitting here staring at two
ABSOLUTELY IDENTICAL
papers for AFAM,” Crowdersaid. “I don’t know whocopied from whom or, morelikely, where both of you got
the paper. I need new papersfrom both of you by the endof next week.”
The notice of allegationsdoes not attempt to judge thelegitimacy of the classes. The
NCAA has historically takenthe stance that they are notresponsible for academic rigor.
“The NCAA traditionally hasnot gotten seriously involved
with cases of academic fraud,and I guess you could make thecontention that this is more acase of athletes receiving ben-efits not available to the gen-eral student body,” said WelchSuggs, associate professor of
journalism at the University ofGeorgia. “It feels like they aretrying to stake their reputationand credibility in some way onsort of taking this kind of aca-demic allegation much moreseriously.”
The Wainstein report
revealed the paper classes were used most by footballand men’s basketball players,
but the notice also mentions
women’s basketball and wom-en’s soccer as offenders.
The inclusion of severalemails between Boxill, a for-mer academic adviser for
women’s basketball, and
other faculty have led some to believe that the program willreceive the brunt of any pun-ishments from the NCAA.
“The five allegations thereare calling them out specifi-cally,” said Dan Bruton, presi-dent of SportRx and a sportsmarketing professor at theUniversity of San Diego. “So Ithink there is a big target on(Boxill) and the women’s pro-gram for sure.”
Women’s basketball coachSylvia Hatchell defended herprogram and said Universityofficials have learned fromtheir mistakes.
“I’ve always run myprogram with integrity,”
Hatchell said. “That’s whyreading some of the allega-tions is so disappointing.”
Men’s basketball coach
Roy Williams, who was onlymentioned once in the noticeof allegations, said in a state-ment that he was disappoint-ed with the NCAA’s findings.
“Everyone who loves
Carolina is truly saddened bythese allegations,” Williamssaid. “We aspire to and worktoward meeting higher stan-dards than the actions that
warranted this notice.”Since the University
conducted an independentinvestigation, the resultsof which were released inthe Wainstein report, somethought the University wouldself-impose sanctions.
“I think that ship hassailed,” Bruton said.
Lewis Margolis, associateprofessor of maternal andchild health at UNC, said he
believes the University should vacate wins.
“And we are only talkingabout games here, you know.Nobody died. Nobody sufferedlong-term injuries,” Margolis
said. “I think the Universityshould forfeit these games, andthat would be an acknowledge-ment — one acknowledgementthat we did not do right, that
we violated the rules.”
In a conference call with themedia on the day the notice was released, Director of Athletics Bubba Cunninghamsaid he agreed with some of theallegations but took issue withothers. He said he is concernedabout the effect the investiga-tions and public scrutiny havehad on the University.
“It has been a difficult envi-ronment on the campus for usas staff members, as athleticdepartment staff members, asfaculty, as students, and I dothink the length of time hasimpacted our ability to attractsome of the students that
would have committed to theinstitution in previous years,”
Cunningham said.Michael Buckner, an attor-

CPA to build facility
in Carolina Square A version of this article previously ran in the May 28edition of The Daily Tar Heel.
By Sarah VasselloArts Editor
Chancellor Carol Folt tookthe stage at Memorial Hallon May 27, addressing theCarolina Performing Artsadvisory board, members ofthe Board of Trustees, UNCacademic leadership, localschool and community leadersand Chapel Hill artists and artadvocates in the room.
“Every time I’m here, it’ssomething really wonderful,”she said.
On May 27, CPAannounced the creation ofThe Core@Carolina Square, a8,500-square-foot facility that
will focus on the intersectionof arts, research and commu-nity development.
The Core will cost morethan $5 million to develop,$4 million of which Folt com-mitted from UNC, and will
be located in the developingCarolina Square space locatedat 123 W. Franklin St.
“The Core will serve threeprimary purposes: as a homefor Arts@TheCore, as a center
for collaborative research andas a community resource,” saidEmil Kang, executive directorof the arts at CPA.
The Core hopes to fosterinnovative research thatmerges arts with science andtechnology through artist-in-residence programs.
Artists such as theaterdirector Anne Bogart andchoreographer Bill Jones have
been invited to become artists-in-residence. In the past, Alvin
Ailey dancer Hope Boykin hascreated a movement workshop
with pediatric cancer patientsat UNC Hospitals to incorpo-rate dance into health care,
just one example of the workThe Core hopes to continue.
CPA also hopes to bringtogether leading researchersand artists to develop per-formances, exhibitions andinstallations at the intersectionof their fields. Kang said theytalked to computer sciencefaculty and the RenaissanceComputing Institute to col-laborate with an artist to createan installation on big data andinternet privacy.
The space will be dividedinto two components — a4,000-square-foot black
box performance theater
— including back of housespace and dressing rooms— that will hold 200 peopleand a 3,000-square-footrehearsal studio.
“It comes from our beliefthat the arts are a very impor-tant part of our educationalportfolio and that we knowthat the arts are one of the
best way to connect to peo-ple,” Folt said.
The space emerges out ofthe Arts@TheCore program,launched in 2012, that usesperforming arts to connectacademics with creative ideas.
In the 2014-15 school year,60 classes from 19 depart-ments utilized 42 different
visiting CPA artists in incor-porating the arts into theirclassrooms through studentattendance of performances.
“We have shared goals anda vision about what our com-munity is and what we want itto be,” said Chapel Hill MayorMark Kleinschmidt.
“The Core represents aunique opportunity to bolsterthe connection between theUniversity and the rest of ourcommunity through pioneeringpublic and private partnership.”
Town awards free laptops to residents

Chapel Hill public housingresident Memunatu Kamaranow no longer has to shareone computer in her house-hold with seven people.
“Just one computer forseven people is no good,” shesaid. “It’s a big deal.”
Kamara was one of 23students who recently gradu-ated from the first four-weekcomputer literacy classoffered through a partner-ship between the town andthe Kramden Institute, aDurham-based nonprofit thatprovides refurbished comput-ers to those in need.
The graduation took placeat the Chapel Hill Publiclibrary on July 9, and the pro-gram is expected to reach itsmaximum number of 60 par-ticipants over the rest of thesummer and into the fall.
The participants were allgiven free laptops from theinstitute for completing thecourse, and a partnership
between the town and AT&Tis in the process of providingfree internet access to eight
of Chapel Hill’s 13 public
housing neighborhoods.“Learning basic com-puter skills allows you totake advantage of the manyresources available to you and
your families,” said ChapelHill Deputy Town ManagerFlo Miller, who spoke at theevent. “The town is commit-ted to continue to bring inter-net access to all 13 of the pub-lic housing neighborhoods.”
Miller said she recognizedthat it is not easy to take timeaway from family, work andother obligations to partici-pate in this kind of course.
“You willingly took timeaway from your busy sched-ules to attend,” she said. “Weknow that it is not alwayseasy to balance all the thingsthat need your attention to dosomething like this.”
Free internet access has been set up so far a t the Airport Gardens and Co lony Woods West neighbor-hoods. Next, the service will
be insta lled the Church/Caldwell, North Columbiaand Pritchard Park neigh-
borhoods. Eastwood,Rainbow Heights and SouthEstes will follow.
A survey conducted by thetown in 2014 found that 96percent of Chapel Hill public
housing residents were inter-
ested in taking a computertraining class. After the graduation, the
participants were shownaround the library andlearned how to get a librarycard if they didn’t alreadyhave one.
Susan Brown, the direc-tor of the library, also spokeat the graduation. She saidpeople can accomplish a lot
with a laptop computer, anability to get on the inter-net and access to a publiclibrary.
“I just want to say welcometo the library,” she said. “This
building can be intimidat-ing. I hope that through thisclass and your visits here, youmake this place yours.”
Nurul Khan was one ofthe public housing residentsto receive a laptop. He saidaccess to digital resources isimportant for both childrenand adults to succeed.
“This computer train-ing is the driveway for ourchildren,” he said. “This wasa really short training, butthe subject matter was really,really interesting. Withoutthe internet, we are deaf anddumb.”

“Last week, a girl signed
a lease here, and she’s bring-ing a teacup pig,” said Demi
Young, leasing agent atCollins Crossing.
Carly Huff, assistantmanager at Southern Village
Apart ments, said havi nga pet-friendly policy helpsthe complex attract morepeople.
“A lot of people have petsand want to bring their pets
with them,” she said.Calvert said he thinks there
are many benefits to allowingresidents to have pets.
“Allowing pets helps to build th e home at mosphere,rather than just having theapartments feel like a place
to stay while you study,” hesaid.But he also recognized
some of the consequences.“Some pets could be loud,
or they could leave a messoutside if the owner does notclean up after them, but Ithink the benefits outweighthe consequences,” Calvertsaid.
One of the reasons ChapelRidge was not previously pet-friendly had to do with keep-ing things clean.
But despite these reasons, Young said she recognizesthe important role pets playin the lives of their humancompanions.
“I think it’s really impor-tant to people because petsare a part of the family, youknow?”

When st udents le avehome for college, they leavesome of their best friends
behind – often including beloved pets.
But apartment complexesall over Chapel Hill are givingstudents the choice to bringtheir furry friends with themor to make some new ones.
Chapel Ridge Apartmentsrecently changed their petpolicy to allow students tolive with their pets, ChapelRidge community assis-tant Brandy Thomas said.
While th e policy doesn’t gointo effect until fall leasing
begins, students alreadystarted taking advantage ofthe change.
“If they’ve alreadyrenewed their lease then
we’ve allowed them to keeptheir pets here,” Thomas said.“I think residents are happythat they can bring pets from
home. Altogether, I think it’sa good change.”Jason Calvert, a UNC
student who will be living inChapel Ridge Apartmentsthis fall, said he also thoughtthe change was for the better.
“I think this change wasneeded,” he said. “I see moreand more people buyingpets, including myself, and italmost seems wrong for sucha popular apartment to notallow pets.”
Chapel Ridge decided tomake their policy pet-friendly
because they were turningcustomers away.
“I think that they werenoticing that a lot of people
were coming in asking aboutpets, and that was a big thingturning people away from liv -ing here,” Thomas said.

Welcome Back Friday, August 14, 2015The Daily Tar Heel 13
This story was compiled from two stories published byThe Daily Tar Heel on July 5and July 9.
By Stephanie LammUniversity Editor
Many Confederate monu-ments across the South have
been vandalized over thesummer, sparking a nationalconversation about what itmeans to honor the past.
On July 5, Silent Sam wasfound spray-painted with“black lives matter,” “KKK”and “murderer.”
Calls to remove the statuehave been met with argu-ments about preservinghistory.
History professor Harry Watson said he believesSilent Sam is important tothe University’s history butperpetuates a false narrative
about the Civil War.“The place to learn historyis in class and newspapers, notmonuments,” Watson said.
Historians refer to thethousands of Confederatemonuments erected acrossSouthern states in thedecades following the Civil
War as “lost cause” monu-ments, which glorify theConfederate cause. Manyof these monuments, likeSilent Sam, were gifts fromthe United Daughters ofthe Confederacy. The NorthCarolina chapter of the UDCdid not respond to requestsfor comment.
“The lost cause mythol-ogy denied the true natureof the war, and supportersput up monuments in 1900,
which was the start of the JimCrow era, as a celebration ofthe recapture of the South,”
Watson said.History professor
Fitzhugh Brundage saidpopular debate about SilentSam began in the 1960s. It
was vand alized da ys afterMartin Luther King Jr. wasassassinated.
“Whenever there was a heat-ed debate about race in ChapelHill, there was some likeli-hood that Silent Sam would be
brought into it,” Brundage said.
Silent Sam vandalism stokes passions at UNC
The Real Silent SamCoalition, a group dedicatedto the renaming and con-textualization of campus
buildings and monum entshonoring white supremacist
figures, has called for SilentSam to be contextualized.Nikhil Umesh, a former
activist with The Real SilentSam Coalition, said he isconcerned that the contextu-alized plaque placed by theUniversity will not tell thefull story of Silent Sam, citing
what he views as a disap-pointing plaque that will beplaced on Carolina Hall.
“The Board of Trusteesthinks that activism will stopand has taken it upon them-selves to be the primary agentsof contextualizing,” Umeshsaid. “If they put a plaque onhere, I highly doubt that the
words ‘white,’ ‘black’ or ‘race’ will be used on that plaque.”
Emilio Vicente, former stu-dent body presidential can-didate, said there are many
ways to contextualize campus
monuments, but he does notthink contextualization aloneis enough.
“Even with contextualiza-tion, it doesn’t mean thatthe University recognizesthe history and the senti-ment behind the monument,”
Vicente said.Chuck Duckett, a Board
of Trustees member, said theaction only served to distractfrom larger issues on campus.
“How could anyone possiblythink they’re doing anything atall to help their cause by doingthat?” Duckett said. “That’snot a protest. It’s just typical of
what’s going on right now.”
Duckett said he is con-cerned with the cost to fixthe monument and the costof monitoring the area. Hesaid the plaque will be educa-tional, but he does not thinkthe spray paint accomplishes
educational contextualization.“If you believe it strongly, you should admit it andaccept the consequences,”Duckett said. “Using nonvio-lent protest, Martin LutherKing changed the world, but Idon’t consider this nonviolentprotest.”
In his 39 years at UNC, Watson said the debate hasnever been as sustained as itis now.
“I used to feel movementsto take down the monument
would require more effortthan it’d be worth,” he said.“But I’ve come to realize thatsymbols are important, andif enough people decided to
take it down, I’d support it.” Andrew Brennen, politi-cal director for UNC YoungDemocrats, said he believesSilent Sam does not have aplace on campus.
“It honors and celebrates white supremacy,” Brennensaid. “To me, it doesn’t seemto have a place at UNC in2015.”
Jeremy Mckellar, presi-dent of the Black StudentMovement, said he under-stands the monument is apart of UNC’s history butfinds it makes students ofcolor feel uncomfortable.
“Do we keep it because it’sthe history of our nation, or
do we tear it down because of what it represents? I’m stillnot sure what the answer is,”Mckellar said.
Mckellar worried thatthe vandalism will makeUniversity leaders less likelyto cooperate with people who
want the statue to be removed.“I’m not a big supporter of
vandalism, but it may have been needed to bring moreattention to it,” Mckellar said.“However, I would advisestudents that we need to bethoughtful with our actions.”
Student Body PresidentHouston Summers said thespray paint is the result of
frustration that the adminis-tration and student govern-ment should address.
“It’s a manifestation of thislack of student voice on cam-pus,” Summers said. “It’s amanifestation of larger social
issues that are being feltnationwide right now.”Summers said he will work
to involve students in theconversations surroundingcontextualization.
“The goal is to have substan-tive opportunities for con-cerned students to get involvedas soon as they get back to
campus,” Summers said.

Welcome Back Friday, August 14, 2015The Daily Tar Heel 15
A version of this article pre-viously ran in the May 14 edi-tion of The Daily Tar Heel.
By Patrick James and Jeremy Vern on
Senior Writers
Bill Guthridge had a deci-sion to make.
The year was 1978, andfollowing the North Carolinamen’s basketball team’s lossto San Francisco in the NCAATournament, Guthridge —
who died May 12 at the ageof 77 of heart failure — wasfaced with a dilemma ashe checked his bags at an
Arizona airport. With his 10th season as an
assistant coach at UNC in the books, Guthridge was unsureof whether or not he was goingto return to Chapel Hill.
An offer to be the headcoach at Penn State was onthe table, and he had already
begun to recruit former play -ers to be his assistants.
But being the loyal manformer players and fellowcoaches describe him as,Guthridge couldn’t bear to
think about leaving ChapelHill as well as friend and TarHeel head coach Dean Smith.
So instead of taking adirect flight to either destina-tion, Guthridge took a flightto Chicago, where he mulledover the decision for the entireflight. But upon landing, he
went to baggage claim, pickedup his bags and put themon the flight to the Raleigh-Durham International Airport.
“He thought it would be better for him and for Carolina
basketball if he stayed withCoach Smith,” said WoodyDurham, a play-by-playannouncer for UNC men’s bas-ketball for 40 years.
For 23 more yearsGuthridge would stay on theUNC sidelines — remainingan assistant until Smith retiredin 1997, when he took overthe head coaching position forthree seasons before retiring.
More than a coach
Roy Williams had a deci-sion to make.
Williams, now NorthCarolina’s head basketball
coach, first began his coach-ing career at Charles D.Owen High School in BlackMountain, N.C., in 1973,
just one year removed fromgraduating from UNC.
But by 1978, Williams had become restless. He was almostentirely focused on coaching.
He knew he wanted tomake the next step, andunsure of how to begin, hemet with Guthridge for lunchto discuss his concerns.
“I told him that I thought
I was cheating the students Ihad,” he said.
“I was teaching five classesin health and physical educa -tion, and the only thing I wasthinking about was my 15 or 16players on my basketball team.”
Williams mentioned toGuthridge that he was think-ing of applying for a graduateassistant position at anotherschool. The next night, at din-ner, Smith asked Williams tocome back to his alma materas a part-time assistant.
That was the wayGuthridge was with hisformer players, including
Williams, who played under
the longtime assistant on thefreshman team in 1968-69.
He was there when theyneeded him to be, althoughhe didn’t shy away from mak -ing sure his players werethere for the program.
“He held us accountablefor everything,” said BuzzPeterson, who played underGuthridge from 1981-85.
“If he told me to runthrough a wall right now, I’dgo do it. That’s how much I
believed in him.”
Hubert Davis, who playedfor UNC from 1988-92, hopesthat his children find the typeof person that is these thingsto them, just as Guthridge
was in his life.“I pray that they would
have someone like a CoachGuthridge to love them andsupport them, teach them, becommitted to them … be anexample for them to be the bestperson they can be,” he said.

There was never really adecision to make.
