Vice Chancellor for Communications and Public Affairs Joel Curran said the public relations department has vastly improved since 2013 through the reorganization and addition of staff members, specifically focus- ing on media relations, social media and content development. “There was no real modern architecture built around the evolving nature of communi- cations and higher education,” Curran said.

By Jonathan Ponciano

Staff WriterUNC’s public relations department has

reorganized and centralized since 2013, when complications from the athletic-academic scandal highlighted the weakenedstate of the department.

Vice Chancellor for Communications andPublic Affairs Joel Curran said the publicrelations department has vastly improvedsince 2013 through the reorganization andaddition of staff members, specifically focus-ing on media relations, social media andcontent development.

“There was no real modern architecture built around the evolving nature of communi-cations and higher education,” Curran said.

The University has paid $996,566 since2013 to hire Edelman — a marketing andcommunications firm — to prepare mate-rials in anticipation of the release of the Wainstein report.

“At this point in 2013, the investiga-tion was underway and the public rela-tions department was understaffed andunequipped with resources to tend to dailyoperation activities while preparing toaddress the Wainstein report,” Curran said.

Curran said the University has greatlyreduced the need for Edelman since thedepartment completed its new set of execu -tives by hiring Director of Media RelationsJim Gregory in Feb. 2015.

“We called upon Edelman to help us because we just simply didn’t have enoughpeople to handle all the things that we hadto respond to during all of 2014,” Curransaid. “We couldn’t stack up fast enough, and we needed help.”

North Carolina Attorney General RoyCooper confirmed what many have beenspeculating for weeks — the Democrat isofficially running for governor.

“North Carolina is better than this —it’s time for our state to work for every-one, not just a few,” Cooper said. “That’s why today I am announcing I am a can -didate for governor of North Carolina.”

Cooper made the announcementMonday from Nash Community College,having grown up in Nash County. Hisspeech focused on raising the minimum wage, improving public education andlowering college tuition costs.

“It’s so emotional for me that he’s com-ing to Nash County Community College— that indicates that he’s for everyone,for all, for people that have an education

or no education and for people who really want to dream the American dream,”said Matty Lazo-Chadderton of theDemocratic Women of Wake County.

“With Roy Cooper, what you see is what you get. He walks the walk, hedoes not talk the talk,” she said. “InSpanish we say, “Hechos, y no palabras,”meaning “fight, and not ‘blah blah blah’” — that’s Roy Cooper.”

He’s challenging incumbentRepublican Gov. Pat McCrory — witha recent poll by Public Policy Pollingputting Cooper in the lead for thethird month in a row.

“The crowd that’s in charge in Raleighis leading us down the wrong path, givingto those at the top while forcing everyoneelse to pay more and get less,” Coopersaid. “They slash away at our schools anduniversities, leaving behind too manypeople in too many places — but I knowNorth Carolina can lead the South again.”

Cooper would be a welcome changefrom McCrory’s politics, particularly where education is concerned, saidUNC Law student Jeff Warren.

“My stepmother is in public educa -

tion, and we’ve really felt the impact ofthe policies of Gov. McCrory and thestate legislature for far too long — tothink that we can’t do something tochange this is r idiculous,” he said.

Warren said he would like to seeCooper make significant changes withregard to North Carolina’s higher educa-tion policy, particularly in light of recent budget cuts to the UNC Law School,including the closure of the Center onPoverty, Work and Opportunity.

“To think that there’s a state legisla-ture that’s not looking out for its stu-dents is something that’s really got tochange,” he said.

Cooper previously served in theN.C. House of Representatives and theN.C. Senate. Lazo-Chadderton saidCooper’s record in the Senate led herto support his campaign, in addition tohis inclusive policies.

“We can have a wonderful NorthCarolinian dream with Roy Cooper asthe governor,” said Lazo-Chadderton.“We are ready for a change.”

Pomp and protests at University Day

By Mona Bazzaz and Cole del CharcoStaff Writers

The University honored its222nd birthday in Memorial Hallon Monday morning with balloons,speeches and a couple dozen mem- bers of the University advocating forthe removal of the Silent Sam statueon McCorkle Place.

“Take it down, or we shut youdown,” demonstrators said.

The Real Silent Sam Coalitionorganized a rally, which began about9 a.m. Monday. Demonstratorsstarted at the Silent Sam statue andmade their way through McCorklePlace, past the Old Well and eventu-ally into the ceremony at MemorialHall.

“Confederate Sam is a glorifiedsymbol of slavery,” the protestorschanted.

University Day ceremony

The demonstration lasted a fewminutes into the ceremony. Oncethe protestors left Memorial Hall,Chancellor Carol Folt said she washappy the protestors were able to voice their opinion.

“I think all of you feel like I do,that universities are places wherestudents speak, and I am glad thatthey feel comfortable to come hereand that we could all hear theirimportant message,” Folt said.

Folt introduced UNC-systemPresident Tom Ross on his finalUniversity Day in the role. Ross saidhe wanted to thank faculty, staff andstudents.

“(University Day) reminds us for what this University, and in particu -lar this campus, stands. As it has been for more than two centuries,it has been a public university. Andit must stay the University of thepeople,” he said.

Alumni awards

Four UNC alumni receivedDistinguished Alumna and Alumnus Awards: Jacqueline Charles, MonaFrederick, Betty Hunt and SarahParker.

Charles is the Caribbean corre-spondent and senior Haiti reporterfor the Miami Herald; she coveredHaiti’s earthquake in 2010.

Frederick, the executive direc -tor of Vanderbilt University’sRobert Penn Warren Center for theHumanities, oversaw the forming of

a digital archive of materials basedon the book “Who Speaks for theNegro.”

Hunt created and edited “TheMini Page,” a weekly newspapermade to engage children with newsthat appeals to readers of many ages.

Parker was an associate justice onthe North Carolina Supreme Courtfor 13 years and chief justice foreight.

The Edward Kidder GrahamFaculty Service Award was givento Peter White, a professor of biol -ogy, for leading the North CarolinaBotanical Garden from 1986 to2014.

Aziz Sancar, who won the NobelPrize in Chemistry on Wednesday, was also recognized by Folt.

Keynote address

Folt said a turning point for theUniversity, starting five years ago, was emphasizing innovation.

“UNC’s leaders declare America’sfirst public university must be hermost innovative,” Folt said.

Folt challenged students and fac-ulty to innovate in the way classesare taught and to innovate acrossdepartments.

“Fast change is not always the

hallmark of the Academy,” Folt said.“But the Academy should abso-lutely be able to handle it. We have been, and we always will be, changeagents for good. But it has to startnow.”

Real Silent Sam rally

June Beshea, an organizer of TheReal Silent Sam Coalition, said thegoal of the rally was to point out thehypocrisy of having Silent Sam oncampus.

“This rally is supposed to go offof this idea I had,” Beshea said.“Fredrick Douglass has this speech,‘What to a slave is Fourth of July?’ And we’re going to play off o f that with, ‘What to the black woman isUniversity Day?’ because we arenot represented in that type of way.”

Shelby Dawkins-Law, for -mer Graduate and ProfessionalStudent Federation presidentand third-year Ph.D. student inthe Policy Leadership and SchoolImprovement program in theSchool of Education, said the rally was important for questioningUniversity Day celebrations.

“The point of this rally is tothrow it in people’s faces on the day

that we celebrate this University,that this University has lots of s—tthat doesn’t need to be celebrated,”Dawkins-Law said.

Dawkins-Law, sitting at the footof Silent Sam, said the Universityhas a long history of racism.

“Just because there aren’t slaves working on these grounds anymore,it doesn’t mean that white suprem-acy isn’t still alive and real. It’s asalive and real as this statue I am sit-ting on,” she said.

Forty minutes into the rally, dem-onstrators lifted a black skirt ontothe rifle of Silent Sam.

“We’re decorating this monument with a skirt to represent the Negro wench’s skirt who was whipped untilit was in tatters, the Negro wench who was dragged from the shelter ofa building over there, Battle Hall,”Dawkins-Law said.

Dawkins-Law said the rally wasmeant to show the monument reallyrepresents racism.

“When you dedicate a monumentand brag about how you whipped aNegro wench while you dedicatedit, you can’t possibly argue 102 years later that this monument wasn’t about what it ’s about,” shesaid.

Priyesh Krishnan, studentcongress finance committeechairperson, said any studentorganization that applies formoney from student govern -ment is required to have anaccount.

“They make a specific requestfor the use of money for thisfiscal year and we make a judg -ment and have guidelines onhow beneficial this is to the stu-dent body as a whole,” he said.

Sophomore Conner Nevel,Campus Y director of finance,said the Campus Y is anumbrella organization — con-sidered one student organiza-tion with multiple subgroups.

Nevel said when the Campus Y pitches for money fromthe University, as they did atFinance Committee on Oct. 6,they go as one organization,even though they are made upof about 30 committees.

Nevel said Campus Y financedirectors have used MicrosoftExcel and another software pro -gram to make accounts moreaccessible and efficient, in orderto more effectively allocatemoney for the organization.

Until recently, the Campus Y was responsible for dis-

tributing its money fromStudent Congress into indi- vidual Student Activiti esFund Office accounts for eachcommittee — a process withextensive transaction fees.

“We expressed to SAFOthat we think it could bedone better, that we couldcome up with a system that benefitted an umbrella orga-nization, like ourselves, moreefficiently,” Nevel said.

“For years we had essentially30 different bank accounts inSAFO, which was extremelyinefficient because, as far as feesgo, we were paying 30 times theamount we should have been.”

Junior Keegan McBride, pastCampus Y director of finance,said the finance directors cameup with their own system ofallocating money to combat theexcess of fees and issues associ -ated with the old process.

“We came up with thissystem where we can put allof our money in one SAFOaccount, not segmented, andthen we can segment it onour end,” McBride said. “Andthen we took it a step furtherand aimed to give all of ourcommittees access to theirown information in real time, which is something tha t youcan’t get from SAFO.”

McBride said this newmethod increased usabilitydramatically, allowing eachcommittee in Campus Y tohave a password-protectedaccount that could be accessedat any time of day, rather than just once a month like SAFO.

“Now our per transactionfee will be around $1, ratherthan up to $25,” McBride said.“If you make 500 transactions,that makes a huge difference.”

Rally reaction

Winston Crisp , vice chancellorfor student affairs and co-chair-person of the task force on UNC-Chapel Hill history, said he wantsstudents to feel empowered and beheard.

“I thought what happened attoday was appropriate,” he said.

UNC junior Sara Muharemovicsaid she thought the event was not well-timed.

“I think they have a right to pro-test, and that’s good that they’re tak-ing action, but then I think that theyshould be more considerate of theoccasion and maybe protest on, youknow, another day,” she said.

Journalism professor JockLauterer said he thought publicuniversities should welcome studentprotests.

“I was so proud that thisUniversity chose to have a measuredand celebratory response instead ofcalling in the campus cops, like whatcould’ve happened at some universi-ties and some other countries wherefree speech and the right of protestis not looked upon with favor,” hesaid.

Bike parking shortage at Kenan-Flagler“I typically laugh at the warningand throw it away.” Charlie Shiett

MBA student at Kenan-Flagler Business School

The Departmentof Public Safety saysa new rack is coming.

By Blake HoartyStaff Writer

Students who commuteto South Campus on bicycleshave been complaining aboutthe lack of vacant bike spaces.

Sean McKelvey, a second- year MBA student at Kenan-Flagler Business School, isspecifically concerned withthe lack of bike racks.

“I have noticed this issuesince my first year of businessschool,” McKelvey said.

“I bike to school every

day. I usually lock my bicycleagainst the fence along thesouth lot behind the McCollCenter. I think they candefinitely benefit from add -ing another bike rack in thesouth lot. It basically affectsall students who bike to theB-School.”

McKelvey said the prob-lem hasn’t changed since the2014-15 school year.

“It looks like they madean effort to expand the patio where the original bike rackis, but they haven’t added bikeracks to the patio,” he said.“There are only 12 slots, soeveryone else is left to theirown devices, parking their bikes against a chain-linkfence or a signpost or any pre-

standing object they can find.”Charlie Shiflett, an MBA

student at Kenan-Flagler, said bike racks near the school areusually full.

“I have noticed this prob -lem for about a year and ahalf,” he said. “I ride my biketo school. I typically lockit around a railing that isclose to school. As I arrive toschool, the bike racks are full.”

Shiflett said he hasreceived a variety of warnings.

“I have been ticketed for

locking my bike on a railingclose to school. It’s some formof a warning. I typically laughat the warning and throw itaway,” he said. “I come out tomy bike, there’s a yellow slipof paper on it, and I throw itaway.”

Isaiah Stackleather, aKenan-Flagler student, saidsimilar problems exist acrosscampus.

“I ride my bike to campusevery day. I always have aproblem parking,” he said.

“Usually when I’m on maincampus around Lenoir, it’salways a pain to find open bike spaces that are conve -niently located to where Ineed to be.”

Randy Young, spokesper-son for the Department ofPublic Safety, said DPS hasnever issued a ticket for these bikes.

“We’re not ticketing any- body,” he said. “We haveissued no tickets to bicyclistson southern campus whopark by the business school. We have put out some warn-ing placards.”

Young said DPS is workingon solving the problem, anda new bike rack will be addedsoon.

“I’m not sure when it’sgoing to be in — it should be within the next month — butit should add at least 10 morespaces,” he said.

Young said alternativeparking methods can presentan environmental hazard.

“The warning placards area reminder that the facilitiesused here on the campusdoes not allow anything to be affixed to the campuslandscape because we wantto be ecologically minded,”he said.

“The alternative parkingmethods cause damage totrees and landscaping, and we want to keep the air clean.”

According to Livability.com, Carrboro is the best place for singles in the country. We asked local residents what they thought about this raCarrboro, look out. There

are singles in your area.Livability.com, a site dedi-

cated to researching the bestqualities of small-to-medi-um sized cities, has declaredCarrboro the best city forsingle people in the UnitedStates in 2015.

According to the site’seditor, Matt Carmichael, therankings were determined by a combination of elec-tronic data and personalopinion.

“We used data that helped

us create a short list —things like number of singlesin the area, of young peoplein the area, of attractions where you can meet peop leat karaoke bars and stuff likethat,” Carmichael said.

“Then, we used that shortlist to create the top 10 andmade sure we were gettinggood national representa -tion.”

“The students shouldtake comfort knowing thatthey’re a good part of theranking,” he said.

The man behind “The Notebook” and “A Walk to Remember,” New York Timesbest-selling author Nicholas Sparks will speak about hisnewest book, “See Me,” tonight. Sparks spoke to Arts & Entertainment Editor Sarah

Vassello about the joys andchallenges he faces as a writer.

Daily Tar Heel: Did you always want to be a romance writer?

Nicholas Sparks: No, I mean, Ithink growing up I had no idea what I was going to do. l wrotemy first novel at the age of 19and my second novel at the ageof 22, but even then I didn’tthink I would be able to makea living at it. When I was 28, Idecided I was going to decideI was going to try and write anovel that moves — that I wasgoing to give it my all, and atthat point in time, it worked.

DTH: What’s the best and the worst part about what you do?

NS: The worst part is the chal-lenge. It’s becoming exceed-ingly difficult to write a novelthat both delights and surpris-es the reader. The challenge oforiginality and literary style —it’s quite a difficult thing to do.The best thing about it is that writing allows me a lot of timeto watch my children grow,spend time with my familyand it allows me the opportu-nity to pursue other venturesas well — film, television,teaching track and field.

DTH: How have those pursuitsgone? Why did you get inter-ested in them?

NS:I’ve done a lot of differentthings — I’ve coached trackand field, I founded a school,I traveled the world, and I

suppose you can call thesethings bucket list items orpotential dreams — just, ‘Hey,this sounds like somethingfun to do for a while.’ So, writ-ing allowed me the opportu-nity to do those things.

DTH: When you go to meet andgreets or events, do peopleever ask you for dating advice?

NS: There’s people that askme all the time about adviceon all sorts of things, and myanswer is always the same.I say, ‘Look, I write novels,that’s what I do. I’m not in theadvice-giving game.’

Part of the resolutionencourages local schools toemphasize the history of thesepopulations.

Johnson said she hopes topartner with the school sys -tem to make this a reality.

Tribes have lived in OrangeCounty in the past, and todaythe Occaneechi tribe is locat-ed in Hillsborough.

“I think one impact of thismyth that we’ve been toldabout Columbus is that wethink indigenous people arenot around us,” Johnson said.

Mayor Mark Kleinschmidtsaid Chapel Hill agrees withCarrboro on the issue.

“I expect that there will be much support for refram -ing the day and recognizingindigenous peoples,” he said.

The resolution waspassed too recently to imple-

ment celebratory measuresMonday, but recognition forIndigenous Peoples’ Day is inthe works for next year.

“Over the course of thenext year, we can work withthe other municipalities andthe Occaneechi tribe andother indigenous people todecide if folks want some -thing more than a resolution,”Johnson said.

extend beyond public relations when assessing these figures.

Lois Boynton, a publicrelations professor at UNC,said it can be difficult fororganizations to deal with theexpectations of public relationsofficials to be accessible andresponsive. She noted a grow -ing demand for constant infor-mation sometimes exceedsdepartments’ capacity to effi-ciently engage with the public.

Curran said it was impor-tant to expand the contentside of the department.Before 2013, Curran said,there was only one person inthe department with videocapabilities.

The department now hasa videographer and studiomanager, along with mul-timedia and video contentproducers. These additionshave allowed the Universityto produce and publish fourtimes the number of videoscompared to two years ago.

The department has alsoadded social media staffers.Boynton said social media isattractive because it catersto a platform many of theUniversity’s constituents arecomfortable using. But, as with any source of media, itposes some problems for pub -lic relations departments.

“The extent of how we aregoing to monitor the nontra-ditional media and the socialmedia becomes a real issuein gauging which problemsto address and how soon thisshould happen,” Boynton said.

Andy Thomason was theeditor-in-chief of The DailyTar Heel in 2012-13 and cov -ered University news for three years before that.

Thomason said duringhis time, the public relationsdepartment facilitated contact with former Chancellor HoldenThorp and acted as a liaison between journalists, admin-istrators and experts at theUniversity. He discussed socialmedia’s role in facilitating com-munication with Thorp.

“In emergencies, if I reallyneeded him, I would just DMhim on Twitter,” Thomasonsaid, saying he knew Thorpused Twitter consistently.

Thomason also said theaccessibility of administrators varied based on the individu-als in the position.

Curran said the depart-ment’s newly organized staffis now able to handle issuesor crises that occur on a daily basis in ways that wouldn’thave been possible with the

more of a spirit and approachto work and not a limitation,”Smith said.

It’s an unusual partnershipmade possible by Krawcheck’srelationship with the school,Smith said.

Krawcheck graduatedUNC in 1987 with a degree in journalism. At the time, there were few women leadinglarge business corporations.

Today, women are 45 per -cent of the labor force of S&P

500 companies, but they onlymake up 4.8 percent of CEOsand 14.2 percent of execu-tive officers, according to the Washington Post and CNNMoney.

Coming out of Wall Streetat the tail end of the financialcrisis, Krawcheck wondered whether the lack of diver-sity influenced the economicdownturn — essentially, whether simply too manypeople were agreeing.

“Nobody will talk aboutdiversity as a solution for thecrisis,” Krawcheck said.

“But the research is prettydefinitive: The diversity ofskin color, thought, disposi -tion, background, education, you name it, makes for a moreeffective management team.”

The dearth of diversityinspired Krawcheck to startprograms like Ellevate and toraise $10 million for the new women’s investment platformEllevest.

“The linkage is that each ofthese is about the economicand financial engagement of women,” she said. “Closingthe pay gap or the gender

investment gap — theseissues involve more women inthe economy.”

Guice, CEO of Olly Oxen,said she is helping to connectEllevate with the businessschool and reaching out toCarolina Women in Businessto get more students involved.

“The really great thing aboutEllevate is investing in yourselfas a woman. It pulls so manyneat resources in the Triangle because there are so manygreat entrepreneurs,” she said.
