1" azz band Club Boheme performed Sunday morning

rest of the improv troupe’s mem
bers stressed that regardless of
their initial success or lack thereof,
the audition process for Chips is
far different —and far more fun,
they said than that of any other
artistic group on campus.
Most unique to Chips’ process
is the fact that those who make it
through auditions don’t go direct
ly into the performing group, but
rather into an incubator program
designed to take people who show
particular promise and mold them
into even better comedians.
Russell Johnson, a senior in
Chips, explained that the troupe
determines who enters the incubator
program based on how those audi
tioning progress during the course of
the audition and callbacks.
“It’s this room full of people and
all of Chips is there,” Johnson said.

“The audition environment sets
everybody up for success because its
overwhelmingly positive.”
RUSSELL JOHNSON, SENIOR IN CHIPS
“We get two people up on stage who
volunteer to improvise together,
and we give them a suggestion and
they do a brief scene. As auditions
progress we give them constructive
notes and see how they take those
notes and adapt.”
What the group’s members
stressed the most, though, was
that the intimidation factor is low.
Johnson said that going to audi
tions is like getting to see a free
show every night, and each audi
tioner gets a chance to improvise
with a current member of Chips.
“The audition environment sets
everybody up for success because
it’s overwhelmingly positive,”

meet,” Morey said. “We’re asking
them to take on a very difficult job,
a job that’s not always safe.”
In anticipation of the review,
requested by N.C. Secretary of
Correction Theodis Beck in July,
the N.C. General Assembly set
aside $2.5 million in the 2008-09
budget for recommended reforms.
The NIC will provide knowl
edge and tools to the N.C. DOC
and coordinate communication
between N.C. lawmakers and states
already in accordance with the rec
ommended statutes.
George Keiser, chief of the com
munity corrections division of the
NIC, said it’s possible that legisla
tors might not be open to recom
mendations from an outside fed
eral agency.
“There is no tjuick, simple
solution to most of the business
issues that we take on,” he said.
“Particularly when we start talk
ing about changing major statu
tory policy.”

Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu.
Johnson said. “We’re very support
ive during the audition process.”
Katherine Lloyd, another mem
ber of Chips, went even further
in her evaluation of not only the
group’s auditions, but its identity
as a whole.
“I think it changes you as a per
son. I don’t think you can be in
this organization or even audition
for Chips or do (the incubator pro
gram) and have it not change you,”
she said. “You learn so much about
yourself. You really have to open up
and put yourself out there.”

high, cheering loudly after reach
ing each 10,000-meal mark.
Packages of food contained
rice, soy, dehydrated vegetables
and vitamin-rich flavoring tablets.
Once packaged and sealed, the
meals have a shelf life of five years,
said Rod Brooks, chief executive
officer of Stop Hunger Now.
SHN plans to send the meals to
Haiti, El Salvador and India. SHN
works with established programs in
place in those countries to ensure
the meals reach their destination,
Brooks said.
“The meals that we package are
used to support school lunch pro
grams,” he said. “It creates a private
incentive to parents. Enrollment
doubles or sometimes triples once
parents know their children can
have hot meals.”
For the last three years, SHN
held similar events at N.C. State
that each packaged about 300,000
meals, he said.
“This was the first year we
involved other universities,” Brooks

“Enrollment doubles or sometimes triples
once parents know their children can
have hot meals”
ROD BROOKS, chief executive officer of stop hunger now
said. “If we could get 1,500 students
to package 300,000 meals at one
school, why couldn’t we get 4,000
students to package 1 million meals
at three schools?”
APPLES, an academic and ser
vice student organization, helped
plan the event Joy Messinger, a first
year graduate student in the School
of Public Health and APPLES’ com
munity partner outreach coordina
tor, oversaw the planning.
“Issues like world hunger won’t
end until people take a look at what
needs to be done,” Messinger said.
“This event shouldn’t be the end.
It’s just the beginning.”
APPLES targeted first-year vol
unteers and invited students from
Duke and N.C. Central universities
to UNC’s event site.
“We’ve always supported
interinstitutional collaboration,”

APPLES Director Jenny Huq said.
“Involvement of first-year students
was important.”
Many of them partook in the fes
tivities at UNC.
“It makes us feel more like a com
munity, bringing people together,”
first-year Chelsie Coffman said.
“People are suffering... I wouldn’t
want to be in their shoes.”
Both SHN Ejjid APPLES plan to
make Million Meals into an annual
event.
“It would be great if more stu
dent groups want to come and help
plan out this event in the future,”
Messinger said. “So much food
is produced in the world, there’s
no reason why people should go
hungry.”
