After a particularly frigid, extended winter, we’re glad to be basking in the sunshine on Polk Place again.

That time of year when half of your timeline casually announces they’re going

halfway around the world this summer.

As warm weather approaches and frigid days turn into sunny, breezy ones, the craving for something icy cold begins; namely, ice cream. Instead of going to The Yogurt Pump, venture off the beaten path a bit and drive to Hillsborough for some locally made treats.

Maple View Farm’s Country Store, a 20-minute drive from campus, is the perfect location for spending an uninterrupted hour or two not only indulging in delicious ice cream with friends, but also basking in beautiful scenery. Tucked away from the hubbub of Carrboro and Chapel Hill, the Country Store is nestled on miles of sprawling land. The store has plenty of rocking chairs out front to relax in while you enjoy your ice cream, as well as a large lawn. On the weekends, Maple View can get extremely busy but parking is in abundance.

Inside, a seemingly endless supply of ice cream lines the length of the store. The staff is pleasant and always willing to let you sample any flavor you would like, but deciding on just one is an admittedly arduous task. My favorite flavors are red velvet cake and maple. You can get a single or double scoop of ice cream served in a waffle cone, in a cup or in the form of a milkshake or float. If you are more of a frozen yogurt person, the store also offers several fla-vors of the lighter ice cream alternative. As an added bonus, the ice cream is entirely hormone- and antibiotic-free, and the shakes are made with Maple View’s own chocolate or white milk. For added indulgence, there is a selection of toppings, including whipped cream, walnuts and cherries.

In the store, you can also purchase a pint of the ice cream to go, a bottle of their fresh milk or even a container of their but-ter. The milk is sold in glass bottles, which you can return to the store. If you are un-able to make it all the way out to Hillsbor-ough but still want lo-cal dairy, Maple View ice cream and milk is sold at a variety of locations throughout the Triangle, including Harris Teeter, Weaver Street Market and Whole Foods.

Maple View Farm is a hidden gem in the Chapel Hill and Carrboro area. When the weather warms up and the fast pace of school gets to be overwhelm-ing, reward yourself with a trip to the country store to enjoy delicious, local treats.

6 APRIL 2013

The Carolina Great Books Club started like most student organizations at UNC-Chapel Hill do—there was a void, and someone decided to fill it by pioneering a club. For senior English major Chase McDonough, there was a need for a student group dedicated to reading and literary criticism.

“That was one of my favorite things that I did in high school, so I set up the club, got the name, and we just started having group meetings,” McDonough says. “A ton of people came. We had like 35 people coming to meetings and like 90 to 100 members in the first three weeks. It was something that initially clicked with a lot of people.”

Members meet monthly to discuss books they have read. For the past two years, the club has focused on short stories but lately has expanded to highly acclaimed novels like “The Great Gatsby.” McDonough says the club attracts people who love to read and are genuinely interested in learning.

“I found some of my best friends that first year, people really interested in reading things, and basically just really intellectually curious people,” McDonough says.

A signature of the Carolina Great Books Club is its literary conferences, which take place each semester. Last fall, the club featured a prominent figure in literary criticism.

“We had the biggest critic in the world—Flannery O’Connor—come, and it was fantastic,” McDonough says. “A lot of people came up to me and said, ‘This is what I expected college to be like.’ I think that was probably one of my favorite moments with the book club.”

In March the club hosted another conference, which focused on the work of Walker Percy, in conjunction with the Thomas International Center, an educational organization that studies important issues in society through a Christian lens. The partnership was the result of intersecting pur-suits: the club needed funding for a conference, the Thomas Center needed a college to host events, and an alumnus from Georgia wanted to fund a literary conference at UNC-CH.

McDonough attributes the continued growth of the club and success of its conferences to the intellectual exploration members enjoy during meetings.

“The beauty of the Great Books Club is that we get a few people who truly love reading together to discuss books that we normally all really enjoy,” says McDonough. “That’s something that just doesn’t happen very frequently in the classroom.” &

Peter Augustine Lawler, an author, speaks at an event co-spon-sored by the Thomas International Center and the Carolina Great Books Club.

Amid a recovering economy, UNC-Chapel Hill students voted in favor of making the University’s Renewable Energy fee permanent during February’s election. The funds from the $4 student fee are allocated by the Renewable Energy Special Projects Committee (RESPC) and have resulted in the installation of solar panels on top of Morrison Resi-dence Hall, the use of biodiesel fuel in P2P buses and LED lighting in the Pit. The resolution to make this fee perma-nent received overwhelming support from the student body, passing with 83 percent of the vote, according to the Board of Elections website.

“Students definitely appreciate how important reduc-ing our carbon footprint is in regards to the earth and our budget,” says Austin Root, a sophomore Student Congress representative majoring in economics and political science, who co-sponsored the bill that got the Renewable Energy fee resolution on the ballot. “By lowering our costs through innovative green projects, the Renewable Energy fee helps to shrink University expenditures. This means that if and when we receive a cut in state funding, the complementary raise in tuition is lower.”

For radio personality Carl Kasell, the pursuit of a life-long passion became a rewarding career.

Kasell graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill in 1956 with a bachelor’s degree in English, and later became a national radio sensation best known for his work on National Pub-lic Radio’s quiz show, “Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me!”

Love of radio began in childhood for Kasell. As a kid, he used to hide behind the radio at his grandmother’s house in Goldsboro and pretend he was on the air.

“[Radio] was a fascinating thing to me,” he says. “My mom would tell me to go play outside, but I wanted to listen to the radio, and I persevered.”

While attending Goldsboro High School, Kasell says he was very active in the drama department.

“I was in any play I could get into,” Kasell says. “I tried out for all of them.”

When he found out there was a weekly radio program, he participated in that as well.

His work with radio continued at UNC-CH, where Kasell worked with almunus and journalist Charles Kuralt to help launch North Carolina Public Radio, or WUNC, in 1953. He also worked part-time at WCHL, a local news and talk radio station.

“I knew I had to work my way through school,”

The RESPC had little time to spread its message about the resolution to students before the runoff election. Co-chair Piya Kerdlap, a senior

environmental science major, says the committee’s biggest hurdle was helping students understand that they were voting for a resolution to

make a current fee permanent.“We did not want students to believe that a new fee was being

proposed…especially at a time when everyone is trying to cut down on costs whenever possible,” says Kerdlap.

The RESPC decides which projects will receive funds by considering factors like annual energy savings, direct benefit to

students, innovative technology and payback ranking against other potential projects.“UNC is already getting attention for our dedication to renewable

energy and efficiency, as we have been ranked in multiple independent polls as one of the most sustainable schools,” says Ty Fenton, an environmental

studies major and member of Epsilon Eta, the environmental honors fraternity. “The secret to this has been passing the student fee and passing the handling of this fee to an entirely student-run group, the RESPC.”

Root says that now that the fee is permanent, the RESPC will be able to devote more attention to fostering innovation at the University instead of fighting for fee money.

“I am very impressed that more than a majority of the students at UNC are willing to continue paying a fee that brings in new technology to reduce our energy consumption,” says Kerdlap.

Kasell says. “That’s why I got a part-time job at WCHL. It’s what I wanted to do. I wanted to be on air. To me, it was fun.”

Kasell worked for NPR’s “Morning Edition” for 30 years as a newscaster, waking up at 1 a.m. each morning to drive to the station and prepare for the newscast. In 2004, Kasell was inducted into the North Carolina Journalism Hall of Fame in recognition of his work.

Since 1988, Kasell has been the official judge and scorekeeper for “Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me!”. The show consists of panelists who must answer questions based on the week’s news, and winners receive a personalized voicemail from Kasell on their answering machine. Previous contestants include Barack Obama, Al Gore, Bill Clinton and Tom Hanks.

When he is not busy with the show, Kasell is UNC-CH basketball fan and a magician.

“The first time I tried [a magic trick] was at the end of a speech,” he says. “People said, ‘How’d you do that?’ And I said, ‘I thought I did very well.’”

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.

THE THRILL OF IT ALLIt’s pretty obvious to proclaim that Chapel Hill

attracts young people. I can just hear you saying, “Well yes, Emily Milks, it is a college town.” But I have to mention it because it’s one way I can make a comparison between Chapel Hill and a city.

My cousin who’s thirty-something and lives in Brooklyn suggested I move there upon graduation and see what happens. Apparently, he’s more ac-cepting of uncertainty than I am. But he said that now is the perfect time to do it because I’m young and just graduating.

You should know that when I compare Chapel Hill to a city, I’m not talking specifically about New York. However, I think that’s the assumption most of the time—that it’s a city for the young. New York is seen as the land of promise, the place to go to struggle for a while and then make it big.

Chapel Hill is like any big city, really, which might sound strange because it’s so small. But hear me out.

In the same way that I hate when people ask me what I’m doing after graduation, I love asking other people what their plans are. It’s because I want to steal their plans, craft my own after theirs because I have no clue what I’m going to do. Most of my friends want to move somewhere metropolitan: San Francisco, New York, London, Boston, Washington, D.C. Some have jobs lined up, but most don’t. Most plan to figure things out along the way, and they go to a city to do this.

The same can be said here. It’s not just the sheer number of young people that I’m talking about. It’s that there is this sense of “I can do anything” when you come to UNC-Chapel Hill. It’s a feeling you get as a freshman after you’ve met a few people and been to a few classes and finally figure out that the Daily Grind’s coffee is so much better than Alpine’s coffee. After you’ve settled in and you’re no longer scared of the size of campus or that one intimidatingly smart person in your class who always speaks up, you have freedom to explore and choose a major and take classes never offered in high school. I really believe we cultivate a collective feeling of excitement and hope.

Of course, that changed for me when I started my senior year. I became cynical and told everyone to stop asking if I’ve found a job yet because I’ll get one eventually. But I think my cynicism is—at least partially—fake. It’s sad to think I’m graduating for good from this university—this home. And it’s scary to think I have no idea what the next step is. Yet, I’m still excited. (Disclaimer: I’m probably convincing myself to be excited because I have to for my sanity, but hey, it still counts.) There’s more stress in the equa-tion, of course, but adults tell me I shouldn’t have everything planned right now, so I’m going to believe them.

Upon begging one of my professors for advice, she told me to “try that city thing”—again—because I’m young. That’s always the reason attached to it. Some of my friends who are moving to cities come May plan on waiting tables before finding what they call a “real job.” Some plan on only living there for a year because they just want a taste of it.

Regardless, they go because they are hungry for something new. I admire them. Maybe they’ll get there and be disillusioned, but they are initially drawn in by the idea of what change can bring. You might think that’s naïve, but I think it’s the ultimate embodiment of youth. It’s purity, innocence and freedom in its ideal form.

These are the same reasons young people come to Chapel Hill. Because the Univer-sity draws us in. Because we are hungry for something new—we’re eager to spend the next four years learning, absorbing and ultimately preparing for what comes afterward.

bSutton’s Drug Store has been a cornerstone of Chapel Hill ever since it joined the ranks

of Franklin Street in 1923. But for those who frequent it most,

Sutton’s represents something far more than just a store.

BILL BIRKEN HAS BEEN coming to Sutton’s Drug Store for breakfast every morning since 1969.

“In fact, I met my wife here,” he says. “I heard her before I saw her. She hated for me to say that, but it’s true.” He laughs and takes a sip of coffee. “Back then, everyone really did know everyone. Things are more anonymous now, but Sutton’s is still that social hub. It’s such a friendly place. There are lots of jokes and kidding around with people you’ve known for a very long time.”

ON A FIRST NAME BASIS

written by natalie warnerphotos by katherine harrell design by melissa flandreau

Sutton’s Drug Store has provided the town of Chapel Hill with an impressive selection of hometown specialties for 90 years. Regulars frequent the store often for good food and good company.

10 APRIL 2013

Birken arrives around 7:45 each morning, and his order is always the same: coffee with creamer, an English muffin with butter and blackberry preserves, and one scrambled egg. “I’ve always liked it. I still like it. And if you find something you like, why change?”

A CHAPEL HILL LANDMARKBirken’s reasoning is remarkably similar to pharmacist

and owner John Woodard’s business philosophy. “Sut-ton’s today isn’t a whole lot different from the way it was in 1923,” he says. “We’ve held on to what’s worked for us. When you’re as old as we are, people don’t want you to change.”

Competing with what he calls “the big box stores” has been a challenge, but Woodard contends that while chain stores may have lower prices, they cannot eclipse Sutton’s commitment to the community.

“We love being a part of the school and helping people around town with fundraising events,” he says. “Not a week goes by that we don’t have a student in here doing a project or wanting to interview us. We love it.”

Woodard, who graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill in 1968, has owned the store for 35 years—long enough to see the Tar Heels take home four NCAA titles. “I remem-ber back in 1982 when Coach [Dean] Smith got his first championship,” he says. “It was like the whole state had one big celebration. People on Franklin Street talked about it for months afterward.” That sense of camaraderie, paired with the opportunity to meet new people, is one of his favorite parts of the job.

“You get new students in August, even though you lose a few in May,” Woodard says. “We hate to see them go, but when you’ve been around as long as we have, there are always alumni coming back for a visit.”

Although the store has changed hands twice, from

founders Lynwood and Lucy Sutton to Elliott Brummitt in 1964 and from Brummitt to Woodard in 1977, the quality of service has endured. “We treat people the way we’d want to be treated, and we greet them with a friendly smile,” Woodard says. “That puts us ahead. Now, we’re one of the oldest businesses in Chapel Hill.”

To commemorate the store’s 90th anniversary in April, General Manager Don Pinney plans to roll back the prices of original menu items for one day only. “Things like drinks and hot dogs—simple stuff—will cost what they did in 1923,” he says. “It will be during lunch, dine-in only, so it will really be a giant party.”

Pinney says he hopes that the store’s vendors will contribute donations to the event. “It’s our anniversary, but we’re not doing this just for us,” he says. “It’s also a way of thanking our customers. Not only is there a real personal connection with everyone who comes in here, but we’re also on a first-name basis with a lot of people.”

A FAMILY OF CUSTOMERSMany of the devoted customers Pinney mentions

are UNC-CH athletes. “You see lots of players in here,” he says. “It’s a good place to spot all the basketball stars. [James Michael] McAdoo stops by pretty regularly. Some people call him James, some people call him McAdoo, but I call him Big Mac. I want to name a burger after him, but I guess I would have to compromise and call it ‘Big McA-doo.’” Pinney laughs at his own joke.

“The truth is that our customers are family.”Regulars Bill Birken, Jim Crisp, Stan Lawton and Gen-

ny Wrenn are a few of the particularly committed members of the Sutton’s family. “I’ve eaten breakfast and lunch here every day for 43 years,” Wrenn says proudly. Until an ad-dition to the dining area in the 1980s, which brought in a row of brightly colored booths to supplement the counter

barstools, she even sat in the same place.Wrenn, whose parents own The Shrunken Head Bou-

tique two doors down, admits that she started coming to Sutton’s out of convenience. “I don’t tend to venture far,” she says, “but I kept coming back because of the atmo-sphere. It’s just fun, coming in and hearing about all the drama every morning. I always tell people how cool it is—the old-timey [soda] fountain, all kinds of memorabilia.” Wrenn gestures toward the walls, which are plastered with photographs of customers, and toward the ceiling, draped with football and basketball jerseys. “The food, of course, is great.”

Wrenn occasionally “splurges” and eats pancakes for breakfast, and she loves the fries and crushed ice. “They

have to have the best crushed ice in America,” she says. But Wrenn’s favorite menu item? “The cheeseburger,”

she says without pause. “Definitely the cheeseburger.”“She’s my best spokesperson,” Pinney says, tilting his

head toward Wrenn. “And since I’ve been here for 33 years, trust me when I say that the cheeseburgers really are the best. Our burgers are hand-pattied, and people love them.”

LUNCH-TIME RUSHPinney estimates that the restaurant goes through 500

hamburgers, 960 eggs and 1,000 hot dogs over the course of an average week. The tiered shelves of bread in the back of the kitchen, the clamor of ceramic dishes and the con-stant sizzle of the flat top grill are a testament to the steady

stream of customers.“It’s just a really great place to come for breakfast and

to have fun with friends,” UNC-CH sophomore and global studies major Alison Domonoske says. “All the photographs on the walls are my favorite part. It’s a great demonstration of the UNC community. Seeing the faces of all the people who have been here before me and feeling that sense of tradition is part of the appeal.”

Birken says he thinks the old-timey feel is what makes Sutton’s a popular place, especially among college kids.

“Come in here around lunchtime and try to get a seat,” he says. “You’ll see what I mean.”

But early in the morning, before the breakfast rush, the atmosphere is much calmer. Rays of sun filter through the orange-and-white-striped awning outside. Woodard regularly emerges from behind the pharmacy counter in his white lab coat to converse with early bird customers—almost all of whom are regulars. In the background, the television buzzes with the daily forecast.

The cooks crack eggs, tilt skillets and juggle coffee pots in seamless motion. Pinney walks over to inspect the pan-cakes bubbling on the grill.

“That’s not a pancake, that’s a manhole cover!” he says to the cook. “Whoever gets that one should have to pay for two.” The cook rolls his eyes, and both men laugh. Pinney darts back to the cash register and punches a few buttons as he rings up an order.

“That will be $1.70, my friend,” he says.“How are you today, Don?” a man calls as he enters the

store.“Oh, you know. Another day, another nickel. Living the

dream!” Pinney says with a sly wink. All the regulars laugh.&

“Another day, another nickel. Living the dream !”

While most student groups work to impact and improve their immediate communities, Students for Students International looks

beyond Chapel Hill, providing scholarships to bright, underprivileged female students

in Zanzibar.

ASHA OMAR ATTENDS SCHOOL 8,000 miles from home. She has not seen her family for eight months. Speakers of her native tongue are few and far between. Yet Omar, an 18-year-old from Zanzibar, is proud to be completing high school in the United States. She’s driven to succeed; she wants to become a pediatrician. One day, she says, she’ll return to her home village and use her skills to improve the lives of members of her community. She at-tributes all these dreams and opportunities to one group at UNC-Chapel Hill: Students for Students International.

ANEMPOWERING

EDUCATIONLiz Willis (above) and Seth Muller (below) met with Rahima, a Stu-dents 4 Students International scholar, last summer while in Zanzibar for the organization’s annual delegation trip.

w w w.blueandwhitemag.com 13

Students for Students International (S4Si) is a non-profit, student-led organization at UNC. Founded in 1995 by class of ‘99 alumus Galahad Clark, the organization works to identify and financially support bright female students in Zanzibar who would otherwise be unable to attend high school.

“Our mission as an organization focuses on eradicating educational inequality internationally in the developing world,” says Anna Bobrow, S4Si’s director of operations.

Zanzibar, an island off the east coast of Africa controlled by Tanzania, has been the focus of S4Si’s work since 2005. Educational prospects for women decrease drastically after primary school because of Zanzibar’s cultural customs, says Bobrow, a junior political science major.

“Large numbers of women are dropping out of school [because] families prioritize men,” Bobrow says. “But studies show that women will invest so much more in their families versus men on the same education level.”

To further female education on the island, S4Si awards scholarships each year to a select group of promising girls. The scholarships are designed to help the students complete a secondary education, prepare for college entrance exami-nations and qualify for university scholarships.

“What we do complements the goal of the Ministry of Education [in Zanzibar] of closing the performance gap of young men and women in schools there,” says senior Liz Willis, executive director of S4Si. “We fund our scholars with full four-year scholarships.”

According to Bobrow, a full scholarship is valued at around $300 per year and covers a wide range of student expenses, including textbooks, transportation to school, a uniform and one meal per day. Money for additional tutor-ing and access to an emergency medical fund is provided along with the scholarship.

A SUMMER IN ZANZIBARThe selection of new scholarship recipients is handled

by S4Si’s annual summer delegation to Zanzibar. These UNC-CH students spend six weeks on the island choosing new scholars based on academic success, financial need and community engagement. The delegation is also a means

through which student representatives can reconnect with current scholars and work to enrich the existing network of students.

“In addition to finding our new scholars, we really want to engage them into the already existing S4Si community, get them linked up with scholars above them and foster that sense of belonging,” says Safiyah Ismail, a sophomore who will serve on the delegation for the first time this summer.

As director of scholarships, Ismail has been responsible for creating extensive profiles of the scholars selected by last year’s delegation. She will meet these scholars for the first time this summer.

“I’ve studied them, [but] they don’t know that,” Ismail says. “I’m done meeting them on paper. I’m ready to meet them as human beings and friends.”

Bobrow, who traveled to Zanzibar with S4Si in the summer of 2011, says that serving on the delegation was one of the most rewarding and eye-opening experiences of her life.

“For the first time, I realized I was a white female student from the United States determining who was going to get a high school scholarship,” Bobrow says. “I think I also realized the privileges of being a woman in the United States. I’m on a scholarship to UNC...where my education is prioritized, where I don’t face harassment in the streets, where the expectation isn’t that I do chores while my broth-ers go to school.”

According to Willis, another priority of the upcoming summer delegation will also be exploring new potential grant-based projects.

“We’ve been looking into doing different things,” Wil-lis, a global studies and political science double major says. “For example, a science technology education program that we think would help education in general in Zanzibar. Math education is also lacking.”

Willis says that the organization is also discussing creat-ing a permanent library for its scholars.

RAISING FUNDS, MAKING CONNECTIONS S4Si sponsors more than 30 scholars, and fundraising

is a crucial facet to ensuring the continued success of the organization’s operations.

Junior Amelia Ahern, S4Si’s co-director of events, says the organization’s diverse fundraising efforts take place throughout the school year. Events include restaurant benefit nights, selling Zanzibar-style tea in the pit, a talent show and a silent auction called the Auction for Education. The auction is S4Si’s largest and most successful fundraising effort, bringing in about $9,400 this year.

The highlight of this year’s auction was the speech delivered by Asha Omar. Earlier this year, Omar received an international exchange sponsorship and now attends

“Our hope is that [our scholars] become doctors or lawmakers and come back to

help advocate for people that otherwise won’t have really much of a voice.”

Interstate 35 High School in Truro, Iowa. Omar, a senior, is on track to graduate in June.

For Ismail, Omar’s presence at the auction produced an opportunity to bridge the gap between the organization, its financial supporters and the young women the organization sponsors in Zanzibar.

“For the first time, it was Zanzibar coming to UNC,” Ismail says. “It was a wonderful experience getting to know her and for the rest of the S4Si community. She told us how proud her family was of her for the scholarship and how much it really meant to be a part of a group that is recog-nized for their efforts in education.”

Omar says the auction helped her renew her appreciation for the organization’s work.

“I saw and learned how hard they work for us, which makes me realize that we are lucky to have people like them in our lives,” Omar says. “I’m proud myself to be a part of this program.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE According to Ahern, a junior psychology and geography

double major, one S4Si’s ultimate goals is to instill in its scholars a strong desire to give back to Zanzibar.

“Our hope is that [our scholars] become doctors or lawmakers and come back to help advocate for people that otherwise won’t have really much of a voice,” Ahern says.

For Omar, returning home with the skills and knowledge to help others is now a profound life goal.

“If I am able to go to college, I would like to study to be

a pediatrician,” Omar says. “Each one of us have big goals for our country, our community and our families. My am-bition is to be a doctor so I can achieve my goal of helping the children in my country.”

According to Bobrow, Omar’s goal is a very realistic one. “Almost all of our scholars that have graduated in

the past few years are currently seeking a college degree,” Bobrow says. “Two have received scholarships in China and Turkey. One for engineering in China, one for medicine in Turkey. There are a couple others who have received scholar-ships from the Tanzanian government.”

Speaking on behalf of her fellow scholars, Omar says, “Each one of us have big goals for our country, our commu-nity and our families. Scholars work hard to get good results on their exams so they can reach their goals.”

For Bobrow, this same sense of passion and commit-ment exists in a special way within the members of S4Si at UNC-CH.

“One thing that I think unites members of the organiza-tion is passion for education,” Bobrow says. “All members feel a connection to the scholars, whether they’ve been to Zanzibar or not, and we really try to facilitate that.”

Willis says the organization changes not only the schol-ars’ lives but the lives of group members as well.

“It’s important to recognize that S4Si has as much impact on us —the opportunity to spend time with people in another part of the world,” Willis says. “Our slogan is ‘educate, enrich, empower.’ I think that same slogan applies to all of us.”&

icsDIFFERENT VIEWS OF THE COURT

The past two years of UNC-Chapel Hill basketball have taken us on extremely different rides. This year feels a lot rockier than the pre-season top-ranked, four first-round NBA draft picks season of 2011-12. But maybe a silver lin-ing can be found even in the cloudier moments of the season.

Life as a perennial contender for the Na-tional Championship can be tough, even for us fans. Expectations are always through the roof, and the way we judge our team is colored by those standards. We rarely get to storm the court after a big win because winning is something we’re just expected to do. A loss, on the other hand, can feel like a disaster.

This is why when we dropped out of the Top 25 rankings, I saw an upside—when I was done sulking. Maybe an unranked season can be more relaxing—easier—without the pressure of living up to the number one spot in the polls. Maybe we could feel what it’s like to be the underdog, or to run onto the court after an upset and feel the joy of exceeding expectations.

That hasn’t quite been true: earlier in the season there was concern about whether the team would qualify for the tournament. Once it seemed like the Tar Heels were a lock for a bid, however, things got a bit more fun. Toward the end of ACC play, we got to feel what it’s like to be a different kind of team. Similar to NC State University in 2012, we got hot at the right time and were able to feel the excitement of being the team no one wanted to play. Looking forward, it feels like the Tar Heels are ready to do some damage in the ACC Tournament and March Madness, neither of which we are expected to win. Of course, you the reader know what happened and know whether this feeling is accurate, but my point stands regardless of the outcomes. We don’t have nothing to lose, but we do have less to lose, and honestly, that’s kind of fun.

It’s sometimes easy to forget about the rest of college sports when the Tar Heels are so great to watch and cheer for, but there is an entire world of fans out there and tons of different experiences. March brings the entire gamut of emotions to millions of people. No doubt, students at Indiana feel differently about the tournament than we do now. Imagine what it must be like for the small schools that squeeze into the dance as a low seed after winning their conference tournament. Last year we blew past one such team at the University of Vermont in a game that I for one never even imagined losing, but for them it must have been an honor to be on the court.

I try to imagine life as a Gonzaga student fan. In 2013, a number 1 seed goes to a small Jesuit school that has fewer undergrads than the Smith Center has seats reserved for students. While the Tar Heels face the pressure of living up to constant expecta-tions, self-inflicted and otherwise, the Zags and their fans must deal with constant criticism. Like other relative newcomers in sports (see Boise State in football), Gonzaga has to make their case every year against the doubters who don’t believe their non-power conference schedule is tough enough.

Even in the world of the power conferences there are other things to notice outside of UNC-CH or even the ACC. Georgetown’s season has been its best in a long time. It is Georgetown’s final year as a member of the Big East, a loss that basketball fans should lament as great rivalries between teams like Connecticut and Syracuse will fall by the wayside.

As a traditional power and frequent favorite in basketball, it’s easy for us—or at least me—as students to see the world as revolving around the Tar Heels. But it’s important to remember everyone else. I sometimes struggle to wrap my mind around just how many people are watching—thousands of them just as passionately invested as the Tar Heel fans. There are favorites and underdogs, winners and losers, and intense rivalries that lie beyond Tobacco Road. My love of college sports and UNC-CH athlet-ics are deeply enriched by the knowledge that students and alumni across the country all hope, celebrate and mourn their teams just like we do.

16 APRIL 2013

tTHE TEMPLE OF ROMULUS, which stands amid the ruins of Rome, was built more than 1,700 years ago. Tourists often pass by the temple in admiration—but on a particular spring day in 2010, they had something else to admire.

While on tour in Rome, the Clef Hangers visited the structure with its elegant bronze doors. Realizing the temple overlooked a vast, open space, the group broke into song.

The group members formed a circle, closed their eyes and began singing Billy Joel’s ballad, “And So It Goes.” As the men from UNC-Chapel Hill uttered the last verse, they opened their eyes and discovered a crowd had formed around them.

Popular campus a cappella group the Clef Hangers has changed since its founding 35 years ago, but members

still celebrate the traditions and history that made the group what it is today.

Three years later, CJ David still looks back on that day in Rome fondly. When he joined the group, David says he discovered an interesting, supportive community with a strong history.

“It was one of the most beautiful things I have ever sung and ever heard in my entire life,” says David, a senior music and biol-ogy double major. “We opened our eyes, and there was a giant crowd around us—people were crying. The impact it had on other people really stuck with me and made me realize the difference we can make in someone’s day.”

Just as Rome is filled with history, the Clef Hangers, too, have a history, which dates back 35 years. This a cappella group wasn’t built in a day; it has taken the work of many men—adorned with bowties and vests—to make the group as successful and well-known as it is today.

HUMBLE BEGINNINGSBefore they adopted their current name, the Clef Hangers were

known as the Morrison Dorm Singers. Barry Saunders came to UNC-Chapel Hill in 1977 and knew he wanted to sing. In 1977, Saunders and Tom Terrell founded the group, and one year later they held their first official concert as the Clef Hangers.

“In 1977, when they first started singing, it was a very different sound,” David says. “They were very choral and very barbershop, but now we’re more pop.”

The original group may not have been able to picture future group members singing pop songs by Taylor Swift, Jason Mraz and fun., but like most musicians, the group has evolved.

Senior Taylor Pardue, a business major, has spent the past four years balancing varsity crew and singing. Although he has encountered conflicts, Pardue is open to his crew team about his commitment to the Clef Hangers and vice versa. While this was difficult at first, he has been able to maintain his friendships within both groups.

Pardue comes from a musical family and participated in drum-line for two years in high school. During his freshman year, Pardue joined the UNC Walk-ons, a co-ed a cappella group. A year later, he decided to try out for the Clef Hangers.

Although Pardue was first introduced to the group via YouTube, the Clef Hangers were around long before the rise of social media. In the 1980s, the group almost disbanded because they were down to very few members, says Pardue. It wasn’t until the 1990s that the group gained its current musical and stylistic identity.

Today, the singers pick their songs as a group, but ultimately David, as music director, takes on the task of compiling songs he thinks will work best. The group takes pride in the fact that they play a role in song arrangement, which is one reason they are popular with fans.

Marilee Protonentis is only a sophomore, but she considers herself a Clef Hangers fan and has already attended five concerts.

“I think it’s impressive when you hear their music and know that a student arranged it and not just a random person,” Proto-nentis says.

Although the group chooses songs based on what’s popular at the time, they also enjoy singing classical choral songs. “Ave Ma-ria,” a traditional Latin song, has become especially significant for the music group in light of recent tragedies on campus.

“I think one thing that’s cool about our group is that you can get such a wide spectrum of emotions through the different songs we sing,” Pardue says. “We can be happy, upbeat, bubble gum pop one minute and then sing emotional ballads and choral music that are really touching [the next].”

HARMONY

18 APRIL 2013

KEEPING TIESIt’s tough seeing your closest friends graduate, especially

when they are such a big part of your life, David says.Last year, three Clef Hangers turned the tassels on their

graduation caps. Six more group members graduate in May. As new students join Clef Hangers and the older singers graduate, the group’s dynamics change.

Jeff Popkin, now a sophomore, joined the group dur-ing the spring of his freshman year. This year, instead of auditioning himself, he was able to see the other side of the process—selecting which students will join the group.

“Obviously nobody is replaceable, but it’s always inter-esting to see the new voices and personalities and see how the group shifts,” says Popkin, an environmental studies and economics double major.

When alumni of the Clef Hangers return to attend con-certs and events, they see for themselves how the group has changed. Tradition, however, is integral to the group. Every year, they host an alumni reunion for the new members to meet alumni and reminisce over history of the group.

“I think for a student group, we are very conscious of where we come from,” Pardue says. “I think being cogni-zant of the tradition but acknowledging that it’s the group’s decision to do what we wish is the balance we’re going to have to strike.”

Thirty-five years after founding the group, Terrell still frequently visits current group members and offers advice. He says he recognizes the importance of maintaining tradi-tion but also realizes the changing nature of the entertain-ment world.

During his sophomore year, David served as concert manager, and it was Terrell who guided David.

“Tom always wants to think about what’s next,” David says. “He thinks about how we can advance our brand and take it to the next level. He’s always very positive, and I think that’s important to have.”

NEW VENUE, SAME VALUESThe Clef Hangers have come a long way since their

first official performance in the Pit. To celebrate 35 years, the group’s annual spring concert will be held on April 13 in Carmichael Arena. This concert usually takes place in Memorial Hall, but to celebrate the milestone, the group decided on a larger venue.

Even though they’ve performed in other cities, states and even countries, the Clef Hangers aren’t immune to the nerves that come with being under the spotlight and on stage.

Pardue says he feels more pressure when the group per-forms at UNC-CH. When concerts are held at off-campus venues, there are fewer students and the crowd is generally older. On campus, there is more of a build-up that creates more excitement, he says.

Pardue has an additional reason for nerves this year. He is part of a committee within the Clef Hangers that works with the General Alumni Association, Carmichael Arena and the Carolina Union to make sure the concert runs smoothly.

As they prepare for the venue, the Clef Hangers are practicing three times a week, as opposed to their usual two times a week to ensure that they’re well-rehearsed for a concert of a greater magnitude.

Holding the concert in Carmichael Arena will likely mean putting every member on a microphone. Since the group is not accustomed to this, there will be a good deal of logistical planning to guarantee the sound is just right.

While the Clef Hangers have evolved over time and gained prominence on campus, they retain the same values that were present in the 1970s—harmonizing and making crowds happy.

“Singing with these guys is different from being in a band,” Popkin says. “Something about singing is more nat-ural, and being able to use only your voice to create sounds and harmony with your best friends is a crazy experience.”

In order to raise awareness about the benefits of the fair trade movement, World Micro-Market brings a small slice of artisans’ work from around

the world straight to the Pit.

FROM A SMALL VILLAGE IN the mountains of Peru to the steps of the Pit here at UNC-Chapel Hill, the items sold at World Micro-Market make a lengthy journey from rural artisans to the hands of students at UNC-CH.

Every two weeks, World Micro-Market displays handmade goods, ranging from silver jewelry to hand-carved wooden objects, on brightly colored tablecloths and sells them to passersby. All of the profits are sent directly back to the artisans and their communities, while the organization relies on fundraising for any extra costs.

micro-marketMACRO IMPACT

20 APRIL 2013

Students at Yale University founded the first World Micro-Market. A group of UNC-CH students brought the project to Chapel Hill after participating in the Launching the Venture program at Kenan-Flagler Business School. The program helps students create a business plan and, if the plan is approved, finances the venture.

BENEVOLENT BUSINESS Now in its fifth year at UNC-CH, World Micro-Market

is continuing the mission its founders had proposed during the program: to encourage fair trade and support artisans in developing countries.

“Our goal is to provide [for] these artisans who don’t have access to a very large market in their home town or home country, or can’t sell their goods for very much or don’t have the opportunity to sell very much of them and bring them here so those artisans have access to a much larger market,” says junior Marie Clements, co-chair of World Micro-Market.

“Essentially, they have the supply, and we have to demand,” she says. “We are just connecting those two to give them access to this international market. They can make a lot more for their goods here, and we can sell a lot more of them .”

Clements says that the organization supports artisans because the crafts they create help to preserve their culture and are marketable here.

“[Crafts are] something that sells well with students,” says Clements, a biology major. “Jewelry and scarves and stuff like that are easy for [artisans] to manufacture with the resources around where they live.”

An all-female cooperative in Tecalpulco, Mexico known as Art Camp, or “Artesanas Campesinas,” uses local silver reserves to make jewelry, which is then sold at World Micro-Market. In Ghana, a nonprofit called A Ban Against Neglect helps street girls collect garbage from around the city of Accra and teaches them to sew these pieces of garbage into bags that are also sold as a part of World Micro-Market.

Senior Jess Hetzel, co-chair of the marketing committee, says the organization also emphasizes the importance of fair trade and ethical operations.

“It’s all about being reliable and stable and always being very organized in how we handle our money,” says Hetzel, who is majoring in business.

Clements says World Micro-Market can be more reliable than other fair trade businesses.

“You know the money isn’t going through a middle man. It’s going directly to [artisans],” she says. “In essence, when you buy something from World Micro-Market, you are helping to eliminate poverty, and you are funding artisans who make [the product]—who aren’t in the best of conditions.”

GLOBAL PARTNERSWorld Micro-Market sells jewelry and a variety of other

products received from their partners around the world. These partners are located throughout Latin America and Africa and provide men, women and children with the opportunity to share their skills and support their communities.

While the organization works primarily with artisans associated with nonprofits, members also work with

The World MIcro-Market features scarves that are made by artisans in Guatemala. The scarves were so popular with students that the artisans began creating them in UNC-Chapel Hill’s school colors.

We sell jewelry and stuff, but we are also about getting the word out about how important free trade is. It’s about knowing where what you buy comes from in general, from jewelry to the food you eat.

independent artisans and provide funds to students going abroad to purchase any goods they may find during their travels.

Once World Micro-Market has made orders or collected purchases from students, volunteers set up a mini-market in the Pit for students and locals to browse. But Clements notes this can sometimes be challenging for both the organization and the artisans.

“If it’s someone one of our members came into contact with while traveling who lives in a hut and doesn’t have postage or email, it’s hard to hear from them afterwards,” Clements says.

In these situations, the World Micro-Market cannot re-order particular goods, and the organization is often unable to support a group entirely on its own.

Clements says it’s important to maintain close relationships with artisans and continually support their work. This can provide unique opportunities to bring specialized products to UNC-CH.

For instance, a group in Tanzania called The Mwenge Artisans creates hand-carved UNC-CH key chains. World Micro-Market has also fostered a relationship with Aldea, a nonprofit that works with artisans in Guatemala. These artisans weave colorful scarves that are sold by Aldea and featured at the World Micro-Market.

“We ended up selling so many [scarves] for them that they ended up making scarves in our school colors just for us,” says senior Taylor Matherly, who is serving as co-chair alongside Clements.

The members of World Micro-Market enjoy making these connections and sharing experiences with the other organizations they work with. To Hetzel, developing close bonds with the artisans is one of the most rewarding aspects of her work.

“That’s what’s so exciting,” Hetzel says. “We have a few people that we’ve developed strong relationships with and have made customized projects for us. It’s all because of those relationships and because we consistently communicate with them.”

STUDENT SUPPORT Hetzel focuses on advertising events and getting the word

out to students, faculty and the Chapel Hill community at large. This year, World Micro-Market is recruiting new members and seeking students who are going abroad to participate in bringing back new crafts and connections, she says.

“We are the first fair trade organization that operates how we do—that does outreach with students that are studying abroad or are going abroad for different experiences,” Hetzel says. “We partner up with them and tell them about the benefits of fair trade and tell them what we’re looking for in certain products, organizations or artisans.”

Matherly also encourages students to seek out these opportunities.

“There are so many ways to get involved,” says Matherly, a sociology major. “If you are traveling abroad you can find artisans, and it’s really fun to get the goods directly from them.”

While working in Peru the summer after her freshman year, Clements met with female artisans who weave tapestries, clothes and satchels to support their families. They walk miles down the mountains to access supplies and sell their weavings.

“What you’re buying is probably more beautiful than what you could buy in a normal store, and you actually get to have the feeling and knowledge that you are helping someone that needs your support,” Clements says.

In the future, World Micro-Market plans to use a grant the organization received in early February from the Campus Y to increase fair trade awareness. Members hope to reach out to students studying abroad in Asia, an area that they have yet to establish connections with and influence fair trade.

“We sell jewelry and stuff, but we are also about getting the word out about how important fair free trade is,” Matherly says. “It’s about knowing where what you buy comes from in general, from jewelry to the food you eat.” &

STEPPING

The UNC-Chapel Hill baseball team moves into the 2013 season

with high hopes, unmatched motivation and a sense of unity

among players old and new.

BEFORE LAST SEASON, the UNC-Chapel Hill baseball team had advanced to the College World Series five of the previous six years—needless to say, expectations were high for 2012. But the team suffered an early exit from the NCAA Tournament after losing to St. John’s University at home in the regional round.

Fortunately for the Tar Heels, 23 of whom are returning players from last year, the team immediately moved on from the loss and is using it to fuel its work for the 2013 season.

UP TO THE

“As soon as [the loss] happened, it was a bad feeling,” senior outfielder Chaz Frank says. “We take the summer off, so it’s not really in your mind too much. But as soon as you get back, you know the feeling once again. You’ve got to flush it and get back to business, and that’s what we did. We just don’t want that foul taste again, so everyone’s working really hard to get back to Omaha.”

Before the season began, Baseball America named UNC-CH the No. 1 team in the country. UNC-CH returns a lot of experienced talent including the entire starting weekend pitching rotation, a deep bullpen and key position players. As the subjects of high ranking and lofty expectations, the Tar Heels have been playing under a lot of pressure since the season began.

GOVERNING TEAM GOALSThe No. 1 preseason ranking was a great honor for the

team, but it served more as a confirmation of the team’s potential than anything.

“It’s better to be thought of highly than not thought of at all,” coach Mike Fox says. “But [rankings] don’t mean anything. We’ve got a veteran team, and they all expect us to be ranked highly.”

The hype only adds to expectations of College World Series qualification, but pitching ace Kent Emanuel says he’s set the bar even higher for the team.

“If we don’t win the last game of the season, it’s pretty much a bust,” Emanuel says. “When we went in 2011, it seemed like we made it, and everyone was so happy that we made it and next thing you know we’re on the plane ride home. We’re so talented that if we don’t do it, it’s probably a bust, but we’ve just got to keep our heads down and keep working.”

Frank agrees with Emanuel, saying that anything less than a national championship will be disappointing.

“We want to get to Omaha, but we’ve been to Omaha,” Frank says. “North Carolina’s never won a national championship. We’d like to end with a win.”

So far, UNC-CH appears to be living up to its high billing. Frank says the team tries to come out at every game and prove why it is ranked so highly, and he says this focus was displayed when UNC-CH won all three games at the Astros Foundation College Classic in Houston, Texas. That included wins over then-No. 12 Rice and then-No. 30 Texas A&M.

FORMULA TO SUCCESSIn order to end their season with a win, Coach Fox

believes the team must be good in all phases of the game, especially pitching and defense.

“We have [had] as good a defensive club in the first 11 games as we need,” Fox says. “If you do pitching and defense well, you have a chance at every game.”

Frank agrees that those two skills are the “it” factors needed for the Tar Heels to succeed this season.

“That’s always been a North Carolina staple,” Frank says. “We’ve got one of the best (pitching) staffs in the country. We’ve been putting up a lot more runs than we usually do. One through nine, we have a very tough lineup. We just have a very balanced team overall.”

Although the Tar Heels’ starting lineup didn’t record a home run until their eleventh game, that doesn’t concern Coach Fox because of the success the team has had in producing runs this year.

“We’re concerned with the run aspect, not home runs,” Fox says. “We can score in different ways, and we’ve got some speed. We walk a lot. We want to walk more than we strike out. Just put the ball in play, put pressure on the other team with our speed and create opportunities to get guys on base and deliver.”

Top: Sliding onto the home plate, freshman Skye Bolt scores a run for the Tar Heels.Middle: Freshman Michael Massardo, of Waxhaw, NC, hits the ball after a pitch from Davidson. Bottom: The Tar Heels celebrate together after their 10-2 win against Davidson.

Frank says Coach Fox preaches ball-strike recognition and patience for hitters. He believes the team has an extremely tough lineup that makes it difficult for opposing teams.

“This team does a really good job at taking its walks or getting hit by pitches or whatever it takes to get on base,” Frank says. “It’s just people getting on base and heckling the crap out of pitchers.”

As in other sports, being good in all phases isn’t always good enough. Sometimes it’s luck that determines the outcome of games and the fate of teams in the postseason. But the Tar Heels are only focused on what they can control in the long season —February to June—that is college baseball.

Emanuel says everything will work out as long as the Tar Heels stay humble and continue working hard.

“We’ve got the high ranking already, so we know if we just take care of business, we should be well on our way,” Emanuel says. “We need to not get too far ahead of ourselves and make the most of the talent we have. Our ceiling’s pretty high.”

TEAM BONDINGEven a team as highly ranked and as talented as UNC-

CH needs great leadership from the coaches and from the players to succeed.

“The three seniors (Chaz Frank, Chris Munnelly, Cody Stubbs) and Kent Emanuel are probably our leaders,” Fox says. “Kent’s been our number one pitcher for the last two years and very highly thought of and respected for his work ethic and commitment.”

One of the question marks facing the team coming into the season was how the older, experienced players would mesh with the new influx of talented freshmen. So far, that transition has occurred seamlessly, with freshmen Skye Bolt and Landon Lassiter playing a crucial role on the team.

“They’re very mature for their age,” Frank says. “They do a great job seeing the ball and not getting overwhelmed. Most freshmen come in here and swing at everything, but they’ve worked right into what we do in getting the right pitches to hit. They’re on fire right now.”

While this team is made up of returning players, talented freshmen and quality depth, Frank and Emanuel say the baseball team is more than just a team: it’s a family.

“We are like a family,” Frank says. “We’re basically our own fraternity. All the guys on the team know they can call me with any problem, and I’ll be there to help them.”

Emanuel says when he leaves UNC-CH, he will remember the relationships that he made with the different people involved with the program.

“I’ve got 35 of my best friends in that locker room, and we really enjoy our time with each other,” Emanuel says.

This baseball family is extremely talented and deep, but UNC-CH knows better than anyone that talent isn’t always enough in the postseason after all the empty trips to Omaha. However, Coach Fox calls this season’s team tough, and every time the Tar Heels go out to play a game, they have one goal in mind: getting the win.

“We want to compete,” Fox says. “When you get down to the end, it’s a bounce of the ball here or there, and you hope you’re on the lucky side.”&

e JOINING FORCESThey walk among us, but they are not us.

They attend the same classes, live on the same campus and earn the same degree. They, too, are UNC-Chapel Hill students, but they are separated from the rest of the student body by their unique identification—a title that carries enormous prestige but also creates an enormous burden. They aren’t just students, they are student athletes.

In many aspects, student athletes represent UNC-CH to the world beyond the University. The efforts these young men and women make while wearing Carolina blue symbolize the Tar Heel commitment to strive for excellence and perform with distinction. However, the lives of student athletes at UNC-CH and around the country continue to diverge from those of average students.

To state the obvious, varsity student athletes deal with a vastly different set of pri-orities than the typical student. Class scheduling, attendance, study time and more are all impacted by the major time commitment athletics requires.

The growing discrepancy between the educational experiences of athletes and stu-dents recently provoked more than 100 members of UNC-CH’s faculty to compile a report urging the University to implement a series of athletic reforms intended to improve the education of student athletes. UNC-CH has been especially embar-rassed by the academic divide, with recent scandals involving tutoring and special classes leading some to question the University’s athletic programs.

The difference is not solely academic, however. The lifestyles of student athletes are often not comparable to those of average students. With little free time outside of the classroom, student athletes are not able to participate in many of the same activi-ties and college experiences as their classmates.

The dissimilar schedules and goals of these two groups tend to lead to a natu-ral divide as athletes shift into a separate clique. In a way, this is to be expected as athletes gravitate toward similar personalities and spend time with the people with whom they share experiences. However, at least a portion of the divide exists because of differences between the way students and student athletes are treated. It is easy to identify athletes around UNC-CH’s campus. Differences in build and athleticism are confirmed by Carolina Nike clothing items, labeled backpacks, Gatorade bottles and even motor scooters: indicators of membership to UNC-CH’s athletic fraternity.

Athletes do not even eat at the same places as most students. Their status grants them access to a special meal plan with additional flex dollars. Many also choose to eat at the Page & Katherine Graham Dining Room in Kenan Stadium, affectionately known as the athletic dining hall. This is not to say that many students and student athletes are not friends, but that there exists a certain sense of distance between many—a distance that exists at least partially because of systems and standards estab-lished by the University.

And this is the divide that we, as a university community, need to narrow.As faculty and administrators talk about the steps that UNC-CH must take to

ensure that athlete education is up to par with the mission of the University, we must consider the changes we can make to ensure that varsity athletes have greater opportunities to experience the lives of regular students.

Obviously, the different commitments of students and athletes will not go away, but the University and we, as students, can attempt to reduce some of the barriers that exist between the two groups. A committee of both athlete and student mem-bers could help discuss the issues that each group faces and schedule events to foster greater unity between the two.

Steps taken in this direction would benefit athletes and students, as well as UNC-CH as an institution. By promoting greater athlete involvement in the University, UNC-CH can help avoid future criticism about the discrepancy between its aca-demic mission and athletic goals. Meanwhile, students and athletes can benefit from exposure to people of different backgrounds and interests.

If we work together, we can find a way to better connect students to varsity student athletes.

Winning a state title, wrestling on a college team, becoming an all-American athlete and making it to the Olympics: big dreams have always had a special place for freshman Nathan Kraisser.

Kraisser is one of UNC-Chapel Hill’s rising stars on the na-tionally ranked wrestling team.

“I wanted to be just like my dad and win a state title and wrestle in college like he did,” says Kraisser of his father, who wrestled at Virginia Tech. “That helped me to excel in wrestling because I always had a goal that I was trying to achieve.”

Kraisser’s exposure to wrestling began at a young age. “Ever since I was a little kid, wrestling was the sport I enjoyed

the most,” says Kraisser. Wrestling also seemed to be perfectly tailored to Kraisser’s

relatively small size. “In football or soccer or lacrosse, I was competing against kids

twice my size sometimes, so wrestling was a better place for me to compete because I was always small for my age,” says Kraisser.

Kraisser chose to continue to pursue wrestling because of its individual nature and his tenacity.

“I really enjoy not having to rely on teammates to help get the job done,” says Kraisser. “I cannot blame anyone else if I fail, and if I succeed, it’s because of all the work I put in. The person who works the hardest most often wins.”

This intense determination is evident in Kraisser’s accom-plishments. Early on in his college career, Kraisser is already a decorated wrestler and has achieved some of his big dreams. He is a two-time Cadet Junior National All-American finalist, a four-time Maryland state champion and seventh in the nation in the 125-pound weight class, according to Intermat.com.

Kraisser is not resting on his past accomplishments, though. Instead, he intends to continue excelling in the sport he loves.

“By the end of this year, I hope to at least be an All-American,” says Kraisser.

However, some of his aspirations are out of his hands. Earlier this year, the International Olympic Committee decided to re-move wrestling, one of the events in the original Greek Olympics, from the Olympics beginning in 2020.

“Wrestling does not have a professional league like basketball, football, or baseball, so as [a] young wrestler, I always dreamed of wrestling in the Olympics,” says Kraisser. “The Committee taking away wrestling from the Olympics kills a lot of kids’ dreams, and now, they don’t really have a dream to work for.”

But as an honors student considering a major in exercise and sports science, Kraisser’s drive does not end at the edge of the wrestling mat.

“Being an honor student along with being a student athlete has required me to be more organized and stay on top of my school work,” says Kraisser. “[I also must] coordinate it with wrestling practices and competition.”

Kraisser may enjoy the individual nature of wrestling on the mat, but he also enjoys the camaraderie of the wrestling team.

“All of the wrestlers hang out with each other outside of prac-tice and spend more time with team members than [with] anyone else on campus,” says Kraisser. “I think that brings us closer together as a team and as friends.”

SWINGING ACES

The women of UNC-CH’s tennis team celebrate their win at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Indoor National Championship in February.

UNC-Chapel Hill’s women’s tennis team won its first In-tercollegiate Tennis Association Indoor National Champion-ship at the beginning of 2013; however, unlike other sports teams at UNC-CH, the team will continue its season even after taking home the trophy.

The indoor championship, and the pride that came with it, has carried the team as it prepares for the outdoor season.

Freshman Whitney Kay secured the victory for the Tar Heels back in February by breaking the tie in her match and defeating top-seeded UCLA. Kay was also named the tournament’s most outstanding player.

“I knew it was a big moment, so I was actually trying not to think about that and just think about one point at a time and listen to my teammates when they were trying to encourage me,” says Kay.

Winning the indoor championship set the stage for what the Tar Heels hope will be an impressive outdoor season.

“It was amazing that we won it, but I’m not satisfied at all,” says senior captain Gina Suarez-Malaguti.

“We finished that phase; now we have the outdoor phase,” Suarez-Malaguti explains. “We have ACCs and NCAAs. I’m really trying to focus on taking it one step at a time.“

The ACC is a challenging conference, and the Tar Heels will face several tough opponents in the upcoming outdoor season.

However, senior leadership has proven to help lift the Tar Heels, giving the younger players teammates they can look up to and aspire to emulate.

“Everybody can be number one,” Suarez-Malaguti says. “You just have to believe in yourself. You just have to believe in the people that are trying to help you, trust them and just have fun.”

The senior, who thinks leading by example is key, feels that her encouragement is part of her legacy. Aside from telling her teammates they can succeed and demonstrat-ing that hard work pays off, Suarez-Malaguti strives to find encouragement outside of individual accomplishments through believing in her team’s abilities.

“I want them to feel the same way I felt, that I gave everything out there,” Suarez-Malaguti says. “I want them to experience everything I experienced my freshman year, which was getting to the Final Four. I want them to have good memories with the senior class.”

Suarez-Malaguti says that the underclassmen have dem-onstrated that they want to learn from everything the older teammates have shown them and have impressed the seniors with their performance at the indoor championship.

“It means a lot,” Kay says. “It’s great to be a part of it. We all worked really hard for it; it was a great experience for all of us.”

The outdoor season is just beginning, though. The team will face seven ACC opponents during April before the conference tournament in Cary on April 25.

pet’s constant love and affection—not only boosts one’s happiness but also

one’s sense of responsibility. —SARAH MOLINA

Sarah Molina is a freshman from Chapel Hill. She can be reached at smolina@live.unc.edu.

SARAH MOLINA: When we depart from our homes and leave for college, we often leave behind an extra special someone. No, I’m not referring to a signif-icant other of the human variety—I mean a significant other of the animal kind. Coming to UNC-Chapel Hill meant leaving behind my beloved golden retriever. The more I think about leaving my dog behind, the more I believe that students should own pets in college.

First, despite requiring significant care and work, pets can improve mental health. During the school year, the stress of midterms, extracurricular activities and day-to-day trials can have unhealthy effects on our mental states. When exam week is upon us, we spend most of our time pulling out our hair, so the school provides us with dogs to play with in the libraries and The Pit. Imagine owning a pet that would give you that constant affection and positive mental boost throughout the year!

Owning a pet—and receiving that pet’s constant love and affection—not only boosts one’s happiness but also one’s sense of responsibility. Taking care of a pet is a constant chore, which can be tiring, but the action also necessitates routine and balance in one’s life, which are hallmarks of maturity. On the other hand, you may not want to own an affectionate but high-maintenance pet. Instead, you might prefer to own a fish or a hamster. These smaller, lower-maintenance pets provide different kinds of benefits. They require less work in terms of constant care, and they still provide a sense of relief and amusement separate from one’s sometimes-mundane school life. Owning a pet, whether big or small, high or low maintenance, ulti-mately provides a soothing psychological boost that can benefit your performance in school, improve your outlook on life and give you a sense of responsibility.

KATIE GUTT: In between classes, club meetings, study sessions and sleeping, who has time to take care of a pet? I know most college students probably don’t!

Most college students I know are busy. As in, every hour of the day is devoted to something important—and most of the time, these important things are not located in students’ places of residence. Personally, I leave my dorm every morning around 8 a.m. and am lucky if I make it back for a break before late after-noon. Any responsible pet owner knows you can’t leave a dog or cat unattended for that long. Most animals, with the exception of fish and other tank-dwellers, require love, attention, playtime and bathroom breaks. A college student’s schedule is clearly not conducive to keeping a pet happy and healthy.

Even with a flexible schedule, having a pet requires extra energy. Think about it—how often do you have the energy to go for a walk or play fetch after a long day of classes and labs? A low-maintenance pet could solve this problem, but would also take the fun out of owning it. No one wants to keep a pet that doesn’t like to play with you, too.

Finally, keeping pets of any kind requires money. You’ve got to pay for food, toys, vaccinations and veterinary bills. When you’re worried about paying for clothes, books, housing and tuition, adding pet-related expenses to the budget is just too much. Having a pet is a huge financial responsibility and is something that should be saved for when you have a stable source of income and fewer school-related expenses to worry about.

Apart from being prohibited in dorm rooms and many apartment complexes (with the exception of fish), keeping animals in college is more of a hassle than a good source of entertainment or stress relief.

—KATIE GUTT

Katie Guttis a sophomore from Matthews. She can be reached at gutt@live.unc.edu.

College is about enjoying your independence and when an animal depends on you, that independence is hampered.

SM: Although pets require time and care, they can teach college students about time management. Owning a pet requires creating detailed schedules that incorporates the needs of both the student and the pet. If college is a time for learning, students would do well to learn how to bal-ance busy schedules and how to be flexible, both of which are essential skills. Regardless, students ostensibly enter the “real world” when they graduate, in which people manage to balance their busy professional and personal lives with owning pets. Thus, college students can prepare for their lives after college by learning how to care for a pet now.

However, owning a low-maintenance pet that does not require much attention is still worthwhile. Even if your pet may not be able to physically play with you, observing it can provide an interesting distraction from everything else in your life. For instance, you may not be able to play with fish, but watching a fish and caring for it still allows you to enrich your life through its presence.

Understandably, all students may not be able to afford pets. Pets require both obvious and hidden costs, and often students do not have sufficient funds to enable responsible pet care. If you cannot afford a high-maintenance pet, consider buying a cheaper goldfish that can live in a small fishbowl. Or if you have the time, get a job to support the purchase of a new pet. If these measures are too extreme or if you simply cannot afford a pet, then college may not be the time to buy one.

However, if you can afford the cost of a pet, the experi-ence can be both influential and important in your college life. Although the pet is dependent on you, you are by no means less independent. Instead, owning a pet can illus-trate your ability to manage your time and show compas-sion for another living being.

KG: Puppies in the Pit, run by Carolina Helping Paws, is one of my favorite exam time events. Getting to pet dogs in between long hours spent in the library is a great way to relax. The best part about this event though, is that you get to enjoy all of the great aspects of having a pet without having to take care of it full time —something that would be especially stressful during exams.

Dogs, cats, birds, reptiles and even fish can be messy. Don’t believe me about the fish? Try cleaning out a fish tank without getting water and little pebbles everywhere. I don’t think I need to explain dog and cat messes. The point is, though they don’t mean to be, pets can be messy creatures. There’s water, hair and poop to worry about, and all of it can end up on your floors, your furniture or your roommates’ belongings. This is why all dorms and most apartments will not allow their residents to have pets in the buildings.

While leaf blowers, lacrosse team practices and general shouting have woken me up early in the morning while I’ve lived in a dorm, I cannot say I’ve ever been awoken by a dog’s bark or a parrot’s squawk. Allowing students to have pets would welcome another noisy factor into our close-quarters living conditions. Waking up to my neigh-bor’s dog barking at the window—or worse: my own dog barking, which might wake my neighbors—would not facilitate a stress-free environment. Vocal animals really shouldn’t be kept in small rooms in high-capacity build-ings, like dorms and apartment buildings.

Though I love my dogs (I have two at home: a poodle named Tonks and a west island terrier named Beamer), having them with me in college would cause more stress than it would relieve. Keeping up with their well-being while I’m trying to keep up with my own would be too much for me to handle. Pets should be kept in environ-ments in which both they and their caregivers are most comfortable—in homes, not dorms.

DO IT FOR DAVIEIt was raining that morning. When I arrived

at UNC-Chapel Hill for a tour, the sky was gray and misty as we tried to find the auditorium in the Student Union, wherever that was. We ambled into our seats with damp clothes. As the speaker expressed her love of all things UNC-CH, I was secretly hoping that the rain shower would cease before I’d have to trudge through sheets of water again. Leaving the auditorium, I meandered through the Pit and Polk Place, keeping my head down and shoulders slumped. Upon entering Mc-Corkle Place, I finally lifted my head, only to tilt it further as the famous Davie Poplar towered above. With new, bright green leaves, Davie swayed and nodded in my direction. Extending backwards, motioning to the clouds behind him, he let the sun seep through his thick limbs.

For me, Davie brought sunshine to UNC-CH and forced me to look up into the arms of a community. This April, Davie and his kin will sprout green buds. This month we can learn how to go green like the three-hundred-year-plus fellow in McCorkle Place. Throughout the average UNC-CH student’s day, there are plenty of ways to conserve. It may not be easy. It may not be convenient. It may not feel like it’s a big deal. But it is. It is about thinking outside of ourselves. It is providing for our future. It is being aware of our environment. If all these aren’t good enough justifications, you can always just do it for Davie.

In the first few hours of your day, open the blinds and the window. While you take in the new day, you also remove the need for artificial light. As you brush your teeth, remember to keep the water turned off. When leaving the bathroom, turn off the light as well. As you’re leaving your room for the day, you’ll remember that you kept the light and television on. You’ll begrudgingly turn and hastily unlock your door, slamming the switch off in spite. Just remember that you’re doing it for Davie. In the third hour of your day, take care to walk or bike to class. You’re already going to be late because you had to return to your room, and you still have to print a paper for your next class. As you speed walk to the Undergraduate Library, you wait in line for CCI printing. As your patience wanes, your eco-friendly thought process doesn’t, and you remember to print your paper double-sided. As you walk out of the library, you’re so pleased with yourself that you can hear a catchy theme song in your head. The many squirrels chitter compliments at you, birds fly around you, and trees bow as you walk by. Who knew sustainability could be so rewarding? To top it all off, you make it to class on time, too!

During the fourth hour of your day, you remember to recycle your handouts. For hours five and six you decide to do laundry. Washing your clothes on cold, you save energy. After your laundry is clean, you research UNC-CH’s eco-friendly programs. During hour eight, you go to the gym. You clean equipment with a cloth towel instead of disposable wipes. When you shower afterward, you make it short and cool. You walk to McCorkle Place to see Davie and sit below him reading instead of watching your favorite show on Netflix. With the sun shining in the Carolina-blue sky, who needs Chuck Bass or Rick Grimes? Through hours 10 and 11, walk home and recycle your water bottle. On the way, pick up supplies from Student Stores and carry them in your backpack instead of in a plastic bag. When you return home, you lower the thermostat and unplug unused chargers. By hour 14 you’re preparing to go out and celebrate your ingenuity for the rest of the night. As you walk toward North Campus and the world beyond, you pass Davie. As he resolutely rises, you realize that there is strength in providing for the earth, and if it’s good enough for Davie, it’s good enough for you.
