The University is conducting thefirst external review of its kind intothe Department of African, African

American and Diaspora Studies.What (UNC is) trying to do is just

to make sure that, going forward, inlight of everything thats happened,that the department is strong, that itssustainable, that it has the resourcesthat are necessary in order to flour-ish as a department, said Jim Dean,executive vice chancellor and provost.

Dean said the review, which beganin August, will be completed by theend of the spring semester.

I would say, in fairness, that basedon everythings that happened in thedepartment in the past, its a particu-larly important time to make sure

UNC is offering several new aca-demic programs that are creatively

blurring the lines between disciplines.These new programs allow stu-

dents to pursue more than one oftheir passions in a different type ofacademic environment.

The School of Journalism andMass Communication is partner-ing with the environmental stud-ies department to offer a five-yearmasters degree in Environment andScience Communication.

The program fast-tracks studentsto complete a Bachelors of Artsdegree in Environmental Studies inthree years and then begin graduatestudies in the journalism school.

Rachel McMahan, a junior, iscurrently the first and only studentadmitted under conditional accep-tance to this program.

There are two applications foradmission: one for conditional admis-sion and another to be accepted intothe masters program, McMahan said.

Sara Peach, one of the leadingjournalism faculty for the program,said the degree prepares students fora range of potential careers, such as

journalism for environmental issuesor work for a research university.

On a broad scale there is a lot of

debate over what is important aliberal arts or a professional educa-tion, Peach said. With this degree,

were able to say that they are bothimportant.

McMahan said she is excited tobecome affiliated with the journal-ism school as an ambassador forthis program.

Ive really enjoyed my liberal artseducation, but Im excited to getsome more professional skills undermy belt, she said.

Junior Tyler Jacon has officiallywithdrawn his candidacy for stu-dent body president.

Jacon said he ended his cam-paign after his small team couldntkeep up with the larger teams ofthe other candidates.

We could only do so much witha few people, Jacon said.

Along with recanting his cam-paign, Jacon gave his full endorse-ment to junior Kathryn Walker.

Jacon said he was impressedwith Walkers stance on sexualassault and believes her policy isthe most attainable. He said he isproud of his campaigns efforts onsexual assault.

We put sexual assault into the

election more than it was going tobe discussed, he said.

He said he thinks Walker has themost to offer student government.

As for representation, she is thecandidate to break up the boysclub that student government has

become, said Jacon in his state-ment withdrawing from the race.

Walker said she is excited to have

Jacon on her side and believes it isa step in the right direction for her.

I am happy he believes in whatIm trying to do here at Carolina,

Walker said.With Jacon out of the race, three

candidates are still vying for studentbody president: Walker, HoustonSummers and David Marsh.

I think its narrowing the field. Ithink its coming up and ultimatelyleading us to a place to decide whoreally does have the best and mostsubstantive ideas, Summers said.

Marsh agreed that having fewercandidates means an easier deci-sion for the voters.

Less choices means people canreally get a good decision and donthave to look through five different

30-page platforms to make a deci-sion, Marsh said.

With its pale green exterior and vivid blue sid-ing, the Pittsboro bed-and-breakfast run by LisaPiper and Dave Clark a short walk from theChatham County Courthouse is hard to miss.

The house features ladybug doorknobs and aroaming cat. Its nothing like the more tradition-al rental options in the Pittsboro area, accordingto Piper and Clark.

Despite its distinctive flair, their bed-and-breakfast is part of a sweeping trend. It relies,in part, on gaining customers through Airbnb, a

website that connects members with hosts who listproperties available for short-term periods.

But unlike most Airbnb users, the couple regis-

ters their home as a bed-and-breakfast and, there-fore, has to pay business taxes on the property.A little more power for the government isnt

a bad thing, said Clark, referring to whether allAirbnb hosts should pay taxes. An extra $5 or$10 (per night), I would pay it.

Nationwide, Airbnb rentals are the focalpoint of many cities recent legal woes, as it wasreported that more than 70 percent of Airbnbslistings in New York City in 2014 were illegal. InNorth Carolina, new legislation could soon limitsome of the drawbacks that sharing economyservices present including taxation issues as

well as safety and health problems.N.C. Sen. Floyd McKissick Jr., D-Durham,

said the state legislature would likely work dur-ing the 2015 session on a statewide policy toregulate companies like Airbnb.

Converging problems

In general, if someone rents out a home for asingle occasion, many insurance companies will

extend coverage to the renter.But when someone rents out on a regularbasis, many companies will consider this a busi-ness use and the renter will need to purchaseeither a hotel or a bed-and-breakfast policy,according to the Insurance Information Institute.

When we were renting out a place (throughAirbnb) in New Orleans, the pipes broke, Piperlaughed, rocking back in her porch chair. Sheand Clark agree that its important to not expect

Airbnb rentals to have all the amenities of a hotel.UNC law professor Judith Welch Wegner said

there are different risks involved with renting out.What if somebody broke in and took your stuff

out while you were touring the city? Would yoube aware of the status as to what the homeownersinsurance would be? she said. I sure wouldnt.

But Michael Munger, a political science pro-fessor at Duke University, said despite financial

vulnerabilities, few problems with insuranceand Airbnb rentals have cropped up.

Somebody rents an apartment, gets drunkand burns it down then that hasnt happened

yet, he said.Taxation is another dimension of the problemthe legislature hopes to resolve, McKissick said.

The main concern is the extent to which they

HoustonSummers was theonly candidate toget the requiredamount of signa-tures by Tuesday.

Kathryn Walkerhas 24 hours tocollect 53 moresignatures. She wasendorsed by TylerJacon today.

Tyler Jacondropped out of therace for studentbody presidentbecause his teamwas too small.

That being said, the candidatesare still not officially running forstudent body president yet.

Summers, Walker and Marshall submitted their list of peti-tion signatures to the Board o fElections to be counted, but onlySummers gained enough to quali-fy for the ballot.

Walker is 53 signatures short ofthe required 1,250, and Marsh is 49signatures short. Both have been

granted an extra 24 hours to cam-paign and complete their lists.

Once Walker and Marsh haveturned in their signatures, theBoard of Elections will count themand announce who is officially run-ning for student body presidentthis week.

Those official candidates willcampaign until Feb. 10, the day ofthe election.

I think were all ready to knowwhos going to be our next studentbody president, Summers said.

gray and Pepto-Bismol pink. Were going to have some stylin horses on our

keep hooves on galloping horses? We know of some broken human shoes

and mugs that could really use some of that. Asking for a friend...

The three remaining candidates for stu-dent body president all came out in favorof renaming Saunders Hall during a forum

Tuesday night.The announcement came during the

Student Voices and Social Justice StudentBody President Forum hosted by the UNCCampus Y, BlackStudent Movement,Carolina Hispanic

Association, Sangamand the Residence Hall

Association.Candidates Kathryn

Walker, David Marshand Houston Summers agreed that SaundersHall, which is currently named after formerKKK leader William Saunders, must berenamed for the University to move forward.The Kick Out the KKK movement hasrallied for the renaming several times thissemester.

The University community is about

enlightenment. That means listening topeople, raising ideas that you dont agree withand criticizing your own, Walker said.

Marsh said he was surrounded by diversitywhen he attended public school in Charlotte.

I had people who had other backgrounds,people who lived off of food stamps, people

who had single parents, people who didntknow where they were going to get their nextmeal from, Marsh said.

Marsh said he wants to make it easier forstudents with similar backgrounds to findeach other and open up spaces for studentgroups to meet within the Office of Diversity

If you have ever been in Rams Head DiningHall, youve probably exchanged a smile withErnest Freeman.

Freeman works all over the dining hall, serv-ing burgers and fries to weary underclassmen.

But odds are you didnt know you were alsomeeting Ernest the poet, born and raised inChapel Hill.

He is a man of many talents, both in thekitchen and with a pen.

I do a little bit of everything grill, diner,chophouse, beverages whatever they need

me to do, Freeman said.Freeman has been writing poetry since he

was five years old.Im just a writer, he said. I cant draw

because I never learned how to draw, but Ivealways learned how to write.

Freeman said he would never forget win-ning a writing competition in sixth grade.

My sixth grade teacher always told menever to stop what I was doing, he said.

And he never has.Freeman said he mostly writes about love

and children, but he has also written poetryfor weddings, funerals and anniversaries.

A lot of times you can say things to peoplethat they take the wrong way, so I like toexpress all my feelings on paper, he said.

Deborah Paige, a Rams Head Dining Hallemployee, grew up with Freeman.

The first time senior dramatic art majorBen French mentioned his short story to

senior Katie Chelena, he told her that if any-thing ever happened to him, she should get afile on his computer containing the story andmake something out of it.

Fortunately, nothing had to happen toFrench for the two to make something outof it. French will debut his first play, TinyFrightened Animals, a culmination of thecontents of that file, at the Station at SouthernRail Restaurant and Bar in Carrboro on April23, 25 and 26, with Chelena directing.

Auditions for Tiny Frightened Animalswill be held today and Thursday, where theywill look for potential actors, actresses andcreative team members.

Although the play hasnt been performedyet, French has already won multiple awardsfor the script, including the DramatistsGuild of Americas Young Playwright Award,the Sam Selden Award at UNC and the Bill

Hallberg Award for Creative Writing.I thought that the poetics of the script were

just stunning, Chelena said. The way thatBen has rendered this script is like a book ofpoetry it is beautiful and it is strange.

The show focuses on a boy living in ruralGeorgia and his struggle to balance p leas-ing his family with his need to leave thetoxic town.

French, a Columbus, Ga. native, said he wasinspired by the quirky things about the South.

I want to make sure we bring those ontothe stage and show people what thats allabout, he said.

We propose a minority working group to

address these issues to find out what holdsback individuals from low socioeconomic sta-tus, what holds back students from differentcolors, different creeds and different races,Summers said.

We need to make sure that these institu-tional barriers are torn down.

Among other items, Summers said keepingUNC affordable is one of his main goals.

Thats not just keeping tuition and costsdown, thats working with the town council toensure that housing stays low, Summers said.Thats tearing down institutional barrierssuch as application fees and other things thatlimit individuals.

Walker said student safety and improvedsexual assault policies are her top priorities.

Its not just a Greek issue. This is a cam-pus-wide issue, Walker said. This is some-thing we need to fix for all students, not just

the Greek students.Summers proposed introducing third-par-

ty monitors at social functions to look out forpotential signs of sexual assault. He said themonitor would only aim to keep students safeand would not report to the administration.

Summers said the University could solveproblems through innovation.

We cant be stuck in a box, he said. Wereally need to be sure that we are treatingCarolina, and doing justice to those that came

behind us, as best as we possibly can.

They went to the same middle and highschools, and Freeman used to write poemsfor her.

He is an awesome guy. A very fun, caring,outgoing person, Paige said. When he gets toknow people and cares about them, he loves to

write them poetry.

Freshman Riley Foster met Freeman whenshe was getting a drink in the dining hall.

We would always smile at each other andsay hey, and then we started talking more,she said.

One day he told me he wrote poems, andthen he wrote one for me.

It made me cry; it was so sweet.Freeman said he mainly tries to share his

poetry with students not only to reach out as afriend, but also to make them stop and thinkabout the world.

On Monday, Freeman said he wrote a shortstory on racism.

It was about why people think color shouldmake a difference, because we all live in this

world together so we all should be able to getalong in this world no matter if youre black or

white, pink or blue, we all got to do it togeth-er, Freeman said.

When God created us, he didnt say thisworld is for the white man and this world is

for the black man, and this is for the Jew andthis is for the Arab he put us all together tolove one another.

Foster said she was amazed to discoverFreemans hidden talents.

I like his poetry because it just seems reallyhonest, and the fact that hes not writing it foranything but himself, she said.

Freeman said he hopes to publish hiswork someday, but hes not trying to becomefamous.

I just want to put something out there forpeople to read and they can say, I enjoy thisand next time Im in Rams Head, I can meetMr. Ernest and talk to him about it and tellhim how much I really like his poetry, he said

with a smile.

Each time you pass me by

But see Ill just laugh

And you will understand why

You might say

You dont like me

But what have I done to you

And you may wonder whyI always make it through

You may look at me

As a bum in the streets

But I have clothes on my back

Shoes on my feet

You may talk about me

But see thats okay

Because Ill be your friend

Always.

You may joke about me

Guess how much money I make

But see Im a friend

Who believes in love not hate

You may talk about me

The color of my hair

But if you call on me

Ill be right there

See it doesnt matter

What you may say or do

Because when its overIll be there for you

So go on and pass me in the streets

Just hold your head up high

Go on and talk about me

Cause no matter what

You will be you

And I will always be me

-Ernest Freeman

The play is written in the magical realism

genre and goes beyond merely telling thestory of a small southern town.

There is a lot in the play that kind ofshows that its something that we want tohold on to, French said. That theres a little

bit of magic we all want to hold on to.The play will be held behind the Station.

Chelena said the outdoor space mimics thelandscape of the town in the play.

I think if the place is perfect then everythingwill fall into place. I think the Station was per-fect in terms of authenticity of environment.

The Stations space will also create an inti-mate environment for those watching the play.

Its not so much how (the audience) willinteract, French said. It is just making surethey are fully invested in the world of the play

while its happening.Dramatic art lecturer Mark Perry taught

French his freshman year at UNC.

I think Ben has a strong sense of compas-sion and a strong sense of empathy that per-

vades his play, Perry said. He is precociousin his understanding of dramaturgy and howplays work, so I talk to him like a peer, notlike a student I am guiding along.

Chelena hopes audiences will leave feelinga sense of wonder.

I would love to make something that istotally inviting, but also something that peo-ple walk away from saying, I dont think Iveseen anything like that.

Comics from across thecountry are making their

way to Chapel Hill this week

DSI owner Zach Wardstarted the comedy festival in2001 in an attempt to bringimprov acts from acrossUNCs campus together. He

wanted to bring a taste ofChicago-style improv askill he considers his expertise to the South. What beganas a way to centralize campuscomedy quickly turned intoan annual event that has gen-erated national attention.

Ashley Melzer, associateartistic director of DSI, saidthe festival is a way to cel-ebrate comedy and bring the

comedy community together.It allows us to bring inthe very best in the improvcommunity to celebrate itin North Carolina where wehave very few theaters whoare doing it, Melzer said.

Because the festival focuseson celebrating all forms ofcomedy and includes a variety

of acts, Melzer said no singleshow should be consideredmore significant than another.

We treat every show likea big show, she said. Here

weve really put an emphasis

on, every show is important.Cortland Cloos, a regularperformer for DSI, said hethinks one of the most excit-ing things about the festivalis the Carolinas FunniestComic feature.

There were people thatcompeted and were at the topfour (from North Carolina andSouth Carolina), he said. Andnow weve all come togetherand theres two from NorthCarolina and South Carolina.

Chapel Hill-Carrboro CitySchools is moving towardmore comprehensive anddata-driven school counsel-ing programs an effortthat has earned the districtnational recognition.

Ephesus ElementarySchool will receive des-ignation as a Recognized

American School Counselor

Association Model Program,called RAMP, in Phoenix,

Arizona on June 30.Ephesus Elementary School

Counselor Ashley Shermansaid the school implemented acomprehensive classroom pro-gram that relied more heavilyon data. She said the schoollooks at student data more fre-quently to see what interven-tion and counseling measuresneed to be implemented.

Sherman works in everyclassroom at Ephesus pro-

viding classroom guidance

lessons. And she individuallymeets with all 435 students atthe school. Ephesus counsel-ing system strives to providesocial and emotional supportfor its students.

Kids in elementary schoolare really starting to buildcharacter and empathy forothers, and skills like kind-ness and friendship, Shermansaid. We look at these skills asthings they have to build, justlike reading and math.

The school uses a tieredapproach to counseling,said Ephesus ElementaryPrincipal Victoria Creamer.The first tier is the core: thesocial and emotional guid-

ance that all students receive.Targeted support with short-term counseling for issuessuch as anxiety makes up thesecond tier. And the third tierprovides one-on-one counsel-ing, or outside referrals, forstudents who might requiremore support.

Creamer said she cred-its the RAMP recognitionto Shermans hard work.Sherman started working atEphesus three years ago.

Sherman said the kids enjoythe schools counseling pro-

gram and use it frequently. Shehas hopes for the entire districtto adopt similar practices.

Our district as a whole isreally moving towards thismodel of counseling, she said.

This is the first year Ephesushas applied for the RAMPaward. ASCA looks for coun-seling programs that impactall students and address thespecific needs of the school

when evaluating applicationsfor RAMP recognition.

Jill Cook, ASCA spokes-woman, said high-rankingschools have exemplary coun-seling programs, and ASCAdeems them some of the bestapproaches to counseling in

the nation.CHCCS Coordinator of

Student Services Jeff Reillyattributes the districts suc-cess to good ratios of counsel-ors to students in schools.

should be paying appropriatetaxes, he said. I have people

who are studying what isdone in other jurisdictions,

which can be insightful asto what we can do in NorthCarolina.

So far, cities such asPortland, Oregon, SanFrancisco and Seattle haveimplemented licensing fees forshort-term rentals, accordingto a peer-review documentfrom the Raleigh City Council.

Still, Piper does notbegrudge other people for notpaying the taxes.

If somebodys renting outpart of their house or some-thing, theres a risk in therefor them, she said.

Preserving a village feel

In the Chapel Hill-Carrboroarea, hundreds of homeown-ers are using Airbnb to rentout part of their property.

The town of Chapel Hill,known for its ban on bed-and-breakfasts, has a certainidentity to maintain, Mungersaid but the town shouldnt

be resistant to competition.I think that there has been

a huge population growth, andthere is a lot of people who

want to stay in town, he said.Continuing to allow Airbnb

rentals in the area would alle-viate some pressure for con-struction of hotels, motels andother large venues, said MarkZimmerman, a Chapel Hillresident and real estate broker.

Traditional B&Bs andthen this more relaxed ver-sion of shared economy

would enhance the communi-ty character, he said. Theresa whole different experienceoffered by these new options,so why not attract those peo-ple to Chapel Hill?

There are a few times a year,such as during graduation,

when the town needs morerooms available, Munger said.

If youre concerned aboutthe village nature of ChapelHill, you should be in favor of

Airbnb, he said. Otherwise,theyre going to have to buildmore hotels.

An innovative modelPiper and Clark moved to

Pittsboro from Minneapolisthree years ago. The couple

just recently used Airbnb a fewtimes during a 3,000-mile trip.

Its not the sterile HolidayInn experience, which reallygives us the hives, Piper said.

Airbnb charges hosts a 3percent service fee per book-ing, and guests are charged aservice fee of 6 to 12 percent.Renting a private room in an

Airbnb versus paying for ahotel room can save guests50 percent in some cities.

Some of what drivespeople to Airbnbs is pricing,Zimmerman said. Some ofit is why someone would goto a traditional B&B they

want a small-town feel, to getto know the proprietor. They

want a personal experience.The option is becoming

increasingly popular for stu-dents, and UNC junior NatalieShearin, who is currentlystudying in France, said sheplans to use Airbnb again.

Its hard to beat the safetyand fun of sharing a room witha couple friends, she said inan email. Plus, its liberating

being able to do what you wantwhen you want, without havingto comply with hostel rules.

With a splash of personality,Airbnb rentals are all the moreattractive, Piper said.

If theres quirks to it, allthe better, she said.

that were clear about wherethings stand, he said.

The review policy changecame about as a result of alack discipline and regulationin departmental reviews that

became clear with investiga-tions into the departmentsacademic improprieties.

The overall review processbegan with a self-study, con-ducted by the departmentand led by department chair-

woman Eunice Sahle, whodeclined several requests forcomment on the review.

The College of Arts andSciences then brought inan external review team toevaluate the self-study incombination with a site visitin September.

The review team publisheda report in October that waslargely complimentary of thedepartments new administra-tion and curriculum.

The scope of positivechange in these two years has

been breathtaking, and thedepartment and its facultyshould be congratulated forthe enormous progress theyhave made in all these mat-ters, the report says.

Dean said its commonfor departments to undergomulti-step reviews like thisone, but that earlier policiesnever required one of the

African, African American andDiaspora Studies department.

Jonathan Hartlyn, seniorassociate dean for social sci-ences and global programsin the college of arts andsciences, said, prior to 2012,only departments with gradu-ate programs were requiredto undergo external academicprogram reviews.

Most departments in theCollege of Arts and Scienceshave both graduate and under-graduate degrees, Hartlynsaid. So it was a small numberof programs that did not have

this type of review prior to thechange in policy.

Five other departments fallunder this category, includingthe departments of Peace, Warand Defense and Womensand Gender Studies, accord-ing to Geneva Collins, directorof communications for theCollege of Arts and Sciences.

Collins said, to her knowl-edge, none of the other under-graduate-only departments arecurrently undergoing a reviewlike that of the African, African

American and DiasporaStudies department.

Hartlyn said academicprogram reviews entail a self-study followed by an externalevaluation with a departmentalreview every eight to 10 years.

In this case, I think itwas particularly importantbecause there had been somany changes in policy in thedepartment and in the direc-tion of the department overthe last few years, Dean said.

The final step in the process,

Dean said, is to review boththe self-study and the report

by the external review team,and that possible outcomes forthe department could includeincreased funding, hiringpotential or program approval.

This isnt sort of like aone-time, one-off kind ofthing, Dean said. Yourereally in some sense always ina review phase.

While this is the firstreview in several years to lookat the future of a departmentrather than its past actions,Dean said the department isno stranger to evaluation.

In a way, theyve beenreviewed kind of incessantlyover the last few years. But thisis, to my knowledge, the first ofthis kind of review an exter-nal review thats really focusednot so much on the problemsof the past, but wheres thedepartment now and wheresthe department going.

She said one of the mostexciting aspects of the pro-gram is its interdisciplinarynature, closing gaps betweensciences and communication.

I found that the scienceworld needs effective com-municators, and I want to beone of those people, she said.

The physics departmenthas collaborated with Kenan-Flagler Business School tooffer a quantitative financeconcentration for physicsmajors since fall 2014.

It really speaks to a socialneed, finance professor Alex

Arapoglou said. The world hasbecome more complex, andpeople studying physics with aquantitative background cancontribute to the overall smart-

ness of an industry.Currently three or four stu-

dents are officially enrolled inthe concentration, said ReycoHenning, the physics profes-sor leading the program.

The concentration is onlyavailable for those pursuing aBachelors of Arts in physics,

but may extend to those pur-suing a Bachelors of Science,Henning said.

Arapoglou said there wasvast support for the concentra-tion, as many of the financeprofessors at UNC come froma physics background.

Although there are pro-grams in financial engineer-ing, Henning said few otherschools offer a combined pro-gram of physics and financeat the undergraduate level.

More and more industriesare becoming more techni-

cal, and the ability to solveproblems quantitatively is

becoming more and moreimportant, Arapoglou said.

A neuroscience minor willbe available to students of allmajors beginning fall 2015

because of student demand,especially from the CarolinaNeuroscience Club.

The five-course minor willallow students to dabble inrelated courses in biology, psy-chology, chemistry, statistics,mathematics and physics.

Michael Parrish, an officerof the club, said neurosciencehas been undervalued at UNC.

Neuroscience is importantbecause its boundaries crosswith that of a lot of differentfields, Parrish said. Its anemerging field that hasnt hadthe proper attention, at leaston this campus.

He said the minors devel-opment and approval has beenfive to six years in the making.

Kelly Giovanello, an asso-ciate psychology professor

who proposed the minor, saidthe success of the minor willdetermine the likelihood ofcreating a neuroscience major.

She said the minor isimportant in keeping UNC upto par with peer universitiesthat already have neurosci-ence programs, includingDuke University, Universityof Virginia and Wake ForestUniversity.

At a prominent researchuniversity, this minor isallowing us to stay at theforefront of the discipline,starting at the undergraduatelevel, she said.

MENS GOLF: NORTH CAROLINA PLACED FIRST AT SEA BEST INVITATIONAL

Jenkins, UNC leave Florida with title

DTH FILE PHOTO

North Carolina mens golf coach Andrew Sapp and his Tar Heels took first place at the Sea Best

Invitational. The tournament took place on Monday and Tuesday and included a 15-team field.

By Evan ChronisStaff Writer

Being the new guy on theteam might not always beeasy, but Carter Jenkins, asophomore on the NorthCarolina mens golf team, lefthis mark in his first tourna-ment as a Tar Heel.

In what Coach AndrewSapp called a total team win,No. 12 UNC won the SeaBest Invitational in Dyes

Valley, Fla. a tourna -ment played on Monday andTuesday.

The Tar Heels topped afield of 15 teams, includingNo. 2 Florida State.

The story of the tourna-ment was of one player step-ping up: Carter Jenkins.

Jenkins, a transfer fromUNC-Greensboro, finishedhis introductory tournamentfor UNC at eight-over-par,tied for the team best withfreshman standout BenGriffin.

Jenkins final round, withan even-par score of 70,helped secure the tourna-ment title for the Tar Heels.

One of the big keys wasCarters play. He came in for hisfirst tournament and finished

tied for seventh, Sapp said.The poor weather condi-

tions in Florida provided theunderlying theme through-out the tournament. The firstround was plagued with rain,and players had to deal with

windy conditions during thesecond round. The third andfinal round saw improve-ments in weather, but thetemperature was still in the60-degree range.

It definitely affected ourgame, Griffin said.

Wind played a huge role,and the holes played verydifferently. We had to know

where to hit it.In a tournament that took

place in Florida includingfour participating schoolsfrom the state it might have

been an advantage not beingfrom the Sunshine State.

Being from N.C., we playa lot of golf in 60-degree

weather, Jenkins said.(People from) Florida playin 75-degree weather all thetime.

UNC went into the thirdround with a 3-stroke lead.

The Tar Heels spent mostof the final round fightingoff Florida, North Florida,Florida State and the

University of Nevada-LasVegas, which had a surge latein the tournament.

It was important thatguys kept grinding and try-ing to birdie or par whenthey could, Sapp said. It

was fun to see th e guys figh tand battle.

At one point in the thirdround, UNC had a 9-strokelead, eventually winning thetournament by seven strokes.

Four of the five UNC play-ers finished the tournamentin the top 15 on the playerleaderboard.

Even sophomore HenryDo, who had the weakest out-ing for UNC, shot two-over-par in his final round to helphis team to victory.

This gives everyone ashot of confidence, Jenkinssaid after the tournamentconcluded.

A victory in the first tour-nament of the spring season

was an important step for anambitious UNC team.

It means a lot we need-ed to get off to a good start,Griffin said.

It was maybe our besttournament of the year.

Commissioners hear update on Rogers RoadBy Sam James

Staff Writer

The Orange County Boardof Commissioners addressedseveral topics includingSection 8 housing, the RogersRoad sewer project and theOrange County Water andSewer Authority facility in a wide-ranging meetingTuesday night.

Section 8 vouchers

Low-income familiesin Orange County willhave more options forhousing moving forward,according to the Orange

County Housing Authority

Boards presentation to theOrange County Board ofCommissioners on Tuesday.

Due to a previous alloca-tion of county funds, theSection 8 housing board wasable to increase its paymentstandard for housing choice

vouchers to 110 percent of thefair market rent rate.

Eventually that meansthey will be serving fewerfamilies, but the families thatthey serve will have a greaterchoice of housing, said JeanBolduc, chairwoman of theOCHA board.

The commissioners raisedconcerns about the standards

of upkeep in certain apart-

ment complexes that accepthousing choice vouchers.Bolduc said the OCHA

has had problems with land-lords who charge the full,fair market rate for housingto low-income people whoare not receiving housingchoice vouchers.

Though the apartmentcomplexes are receiving thesame amount of rent underthis system as they wouldunder Section 8, their proper-ties are not held to the samestandards of upkeep.

Bolduc said there are cur-rently about 1,300 people onthe waiting list for Section 8

housing in Chapel Hill.

He said the average waittime to receive Section 8housing is five to eight years.

Rogers Road sewer

The Board also receivedan update on an engineeringstudy being conducted onthe Rogers Road neighbor-hood moving one stepcloser to county sewer in thehistorically black and low-income com munity.

A consultant for theOrange County Water andSewer Authority is scheduledto complete the $130,000study in March, said John

Young, chairman of the

OWASA Board.Following the initial engi-neering study, OWASA will

begin the design stage for thewater and sewer connections,followed by the developmentstage. Young said each stage isexpected to take about a year.

We look forward to bring-ing them successfully to aconclusion, he said.

OWASA update

OWASA is also consideringaltering the way the companyturns waste into fertilizer inorder to cut costs, Young said.

Commissioners raised

concerns about pharmaceu-

ticals contaminating the soil,which Young confirmed wasa possibility.

Despite needing to cutcosts, Youngs report waspositive.

The state of the utilityoverall is very strong, he said.

OWASA board memberTerri Buckner said the com-pany is also working on a

website where customerscan round their water billup to the nearest dollar andgive the extra money to helplow-income families pay their

water bill.
