Tutu is May ’OB speaker
South African leader topped the list
BY MEGHAN PRICHARD
STAFF WRITER
He has negotiated for equality
in South Africa, was awarded a
Nobel Peace Prize in 1984 and was
elected as the first black African
archbishop of Cape Town two
years later.
And now, Desmond Tutu will
deliver this year’s May commence
ment speech.
“Our world desperately needs
the compassion and under
standing that he exemplifies,”
Chancellor Holden Thorp said in
a press release today.
“I can’t imagine a finer, more
qualified person to inspire our
graduates and their families.
Having him speak at Carolina’s
commencement will be a slam
dunk for our graduates.”

Students line the steps of Carroll Hall during Good Morning America's broadcast early Saturday morning. The morning news show is
visiting all 50 states. The show filmed at UNC throughout the past week and'sought to gauge the political attitudes of students.
Crews staged ‘balanced’ political representation
BY EMILY KENNARD
STAFF WRITER
Tensions between Obama and McCain
groups escalated before a “Good Morning
America” broadcast Saturday as TV crew
members replaced Obama supporters at
the front of the crowd with McCain sup
porters.
UNC first-year Clay Vickers arrived on set
at 5:30 a.m. to grab a prime spot in front
of Carroll Hall, ready to display his support
for Obama.
He was one of about 20 Democrats picked
by the film crew to move back to make room
for more Republicans, right before filming
started.
“It’s not a reflection of the truth,” Vickers
said. “This is what’s wrong with the media
Ackland celebrates 50 years
BY KEVIN TURNER
ASSISTANT ARTS EDITOR
Sept. 20, 1958, was the first
day the Ackland Art Museum
opened its doors. Fifty years later,
art from that period of American
history is on display at the same
museum.
“Circa 1958: Breaking Ground
in American Art,” which opened
Sunday, is the Ackland’s largest
and most ambitious exhibition
to date and features works from
some of the most influential art
ists of the 1950 sand ’6os.
“I wanted to know what was going
on in the art world in 1958, when we
opened our doors,” said Emily Kass,
director of the museum.
And as America changed, a lot
was also going on in the art world.

Student Body President J.J.
Raynor, who was a member of the
Commencement speaker advisory
committee, said the archbishop
was still No. 1 on almost every
committee member’s list this year
as well.
“I think he was upset because
he wanted to come in years past
and couldn’t. This year he got back
to us right away,” she said.
“I think he made it a personal
point to come speak at UNC.”

School and PACE Academy, which
he graduated from in 2006.
Jemma Strauss, who used to eat
lunch with Bailey in high school,
said he found ways to make her
happy when she was upset.
“He would stick a straw up his
nose or something, it >vquld always
make me laugh,*she said.
“He was so well-liked.”
Bailey was active in hi* church’s
youth group and attended a mis
sion trip to Mexico to build houses
for the poor.
He also volunteered with spe
cial needs children with the Family
Advocacy Network.
But memories of Bailey’s quirks
drew the most smiles at the memo
rial service.
“He would sit on the couch and
watch the country music videos
and sing at the top of his lungs,”
said Ray Warren, the Orange
United Methodist Church pastor
who led Bailey’s service.
“Only thing is, he couldn’t
sing.”
He would try to eat two hot
dogs at the same time or build
a makeshift bike ramp to jump
over the church mailbox, Warren
said.
Bailey had plans to become a
chef or work in youth ministry.
Warren remembers a time when
Bailey came to his office and told
him he thought God wanted him
to help other teenagers.
Bailey said that he wanted every
kid and every teenager to know
somebody loves him, Warren
remembered.
“Josh’s 20 years of life simply
cannot be summed up in this
room,” Warren said.
He emphasized that Saturday
was a time to celebrate Bailey’s life
and be at peace with his death.

They are also hoping to hold a

“Don’t fool yourselves to think

you are,” said Paul Cuadros, a
UNC-Chapel Hill journalism pro
fessor and the author of a book on
the South’s Latino communities.
The coalition was founded
Saturday at the conference, held
at N.C. Agricultural and Technical

The conference was initiated by
UNC-CH’s Coalition for College
Access, which formed last spring
to confront possible legislation
during the summer session.
