CARSON
FROM PAGE 1
One of Carson's major oppor
tunities as a voice for students was
expressing students' concerns about
tuition and fee increases.
But an accelerated tuition
schedule left Carsons administra
tion with less time than expected
to organize student tuition forums
and mobilize student protests.
About 30 students showed up to
protest the board's Nov. 15 vote to
increase tuition for out-of-state stu
dents. Nearly 200 students came to
the previous years meeting.
Carson said her style as presi
dent has ultimately moved away
from forums as a large source of
student input. “I don’t like to sound
pessimistic, but the kids who go
to forums are the kids who have
already come to me and told me
their thoughts," she said.
Instead Carson said she uses her
social connections, the student gov
ernment blog and meetings with stu
dent leaders to keep her finger on the
pulse of undergraduate opinion.
Although Carson has worked
with groups to bring some con
cerns to the administration, prog
ress does not always follow.
‘Eve and her Cabinet have done
as much as they can to follow up
with our group this year," said Salma
Mirza. organizer of the UNC chapter
of Student Action with Workers. “It’s
more of a matter of the University
not listening to them than Eve not
listening to us."
SAW regularly brings protests
and concerns to the UNC admin
istration about rights for laborers.
And from an administrative
point of view, Carson conveys many
student messages well.
“Eve compares very well with
the last four student government
presidents I’ve worked with," said
Margaret Jablonski, vice chancellor
for student affairs. “She’s been as
effective or more effective in work
ing with the Board ofTrustees."
At meetings with administra
tors and officials, Carson said she
brings “student experts" to offer
firsthand experiences, such as last
semester when she invited Carolina
Covenant scholars to share their
stories with trustees.
Although some students do go to
meetings and voice their opinions,
others, like freshman Cara Donnelly,
said there is not enough readily
available information to know how
to voice thoughts and ideas.
“Eve spoke at (Convocation), but
I haven't heard from her specifically
this year," Donnelly said. “It’s not like
I have an e-mail address (for her). As
a freshman, I feel like information
should be more available."
And that's been one of the big
gest challenges for Carson: hearing
the voices of all students, given her
limited amount of time in office.
“We have a year here, and it's
important to recognize leader
ship. develop it and mentor it,“
Carson said.
“It’s important that you welcome
students from the moment they
come to campus and say, ‘We want
to hear your ideas.”

OWASA Sustainability-
Administrator Paula Thomas said
that police are usually successful in
communicating the restrictions to
violators and that OWASA doesn't
contact the violators if the police
have already talked to them.
“More times than not, the police
force are very successful at getting
compliance," Thomas said.
Water violations can be reported
to police, but the vast majority are
reported directly to OWASA. More
than 300 violations have been
reported to OWASA since stage 2
restrictions went into effect Nov. 1.
Since May 2007, the Chapel Hill
Police Department has responded
to about six reported incidences
of water-use violations, including
at East Chapel Hill High School
and a hotel on Erwin Road, police
spokesman Lt. Kevin Gunter said.
“In both cases, there were sprin
klers just left on," Gunter said.
Carrboro police Capt. Joel
Booker said he doesn't think the
Carrboro police have responded to
any violations.
When violations are reported,
police tell offenders about the rules
they have broken.
“Generally w-hat w-e do is try to
educate the violator," Booker said.
“We’re not trying to catch people in
violation so much as trying to make

Repeat offenders are warned
by the town. On the third offense,
OWASA can turn off their water,
which Thomas said has not yet
happened during this drought.
If OWASA decides Thursday
to implement stage 3 restrictions,
Thomas said that enforcement
tactics might change and increase
but that she doesn’t think OWASA
would change its punishment for
first-time violators.
“As the drought continues, it
will be more and more important
to conserve," she said. “Our move
is going to be much more vigilant
with enforcement."
The situation is different in
neighboring areas. The fine for
first-time violations in Raleigh is
SI,OOO.
The response this year also differs
from enforcement during the 2002
drought, when first-time violators
faced a 525 fine, Booker said.
While police help with enforce
ment, it's often a challenge. Booker
said, because officers aren't as
familiar with water violation
enforcement as they are with more
common violations.
“It’s kind of new territory- for us,"
he said, “It's not the kind of thing we
do daily like we do for traffic law."

primal, sensual or proud, but always
energetic.
"I’m thrilled with the perfor
mance. W r e bring a lot of energy
with us wherever we go," said Maria
Bauman, an Urban Bush Women
dancer.
Though initial segments of the
dance explored African history and
the legacy of slavery , the later parts
visited themes of gender roles and
sexuality in contemporary society.
And Bauman said its chaotic
nature was meant to allow audi
ence members to find their own
interpretations.
“We’re only a conduit we’re
a prism that facilitates people to
examine their own lives more," she
said. “Everything that people glean
from the piece is valid."
Though very little English or
dialogue was used, “1 accept" was
the final cry as both groups came
together beneath a beam of light to
close the show.
“My belief is that we are pow
erful beings, each one of us,“ said
Jaw-ole Willa Jo Zollar. artistic
director and choreographer for
Urban Bush Women. “We create
through improvisation, but we arc
alive in the moment."

But all the dancers I saw not
only stood all 24 hours, but they
jumped with enthusiasm to a cho
reographed Britney Spears rou
tine, belted song lyrics until they
lost their voices and generally suf
fered in good spirits.
Almost every thinkable perfor
mance group from The Embers
to professional jump-rope artists
to campus groups was there to
keep us entertained.
Fatigue had almost won the
battle at 8 a.m.. when 1 was more

it wasn’t about me anymore.

short, witty comedy with more irrev -
erent jokes about c ollege lite.
Swardson said he loved to black
out from drinking because he
wanted to lx- a detective when he
was a child.
“When you wake up. you have a
lot of mysteries to solve." he said.
He also talked about when he
applied for a job at Taco Bell and
was required to fill out a special
skills section on the application.
"There's nothing special about
me. That's why I'm here," he joked.
I-ast on stage was Galifianakis.

around stage as I attic ()rphan Annie.
He also performed a stand-up rou

Graduate student Peter Franzcse
said the comedians’ integration of
Williams and other l 'N'C celebrities
made the event worth the cost.
"It was a nice little personal
touch for campus." he said.
