Homecoming 2008
Crouthamel running
to do service project
Project to help
local teachers
BY LAURA HOXWORTH
STAFF WRITER
For Jeremy Crouthamel, it’s all
about the love.
“When I came here four years
ago, I fell in love with-Carolina and
everything about it,” he said of his
school.
UNC played an important role
in definining Crouthamel as a per
son.
“I’m obsessed with this school
and everything it stands for,”
Crouthamel said.
To act on this, Crouthamel
is running for Homecoming
king, and fellow senior Donovan
Livingston is the other candi
date.
The essentials
Crouthamel is a senior English
and Spanish double major from
Seven Springs, N.C.
He hopes to represent the
school he said he loves so much
with the title of Homecoming
king.
Crouthamel is involved with
the UNC cheer team, Carolina
Fever, Teaching Fellows,
Crusade, Dance Marathon, Sigma
Alpha Phi and the Eve Carson
Scholarship.
Crouthamel said a main reason
he chose to run for Homecoming
king is the opportunity it presents
to design and carry out a service
project.
The project
If elected, Crouthamel's goal
will be to organize and put on a
conference on gang prevention
for any interested teachers who
work at Durham and Chapel Hill
schools.
Gang violence has plagued parts
of the region, and Crouthamel
wants to educate those who can
do something to curb this trend.
He noted that gang violence is
becoming a problem even in mid
dle school.
“I’ve wanted to do something
to support Durham schools for a
really long time; I just haven’t had
the means,” he said of his potential
project.

elections will get the means by
which to implement the commu
nity service projects of their own
creation.
The one-day conference would
bring in experienced speakers to
coach educators on how to recog
nize gang problems and interfere
constructively to stop gang vio
lence before it starts in their com
munity.
Crouthamel said he would aim
to bring in three speakers, one for
each aspect of gang violence pre
vention.
The first would stress recog
nition of gang activity, keeping
an eye out for indicators of gang
involvement.
Another would talk about the
law and what teachers can and
cannot say and do.
The other speaker would speak
to the psychology of gangs and why
some feel the need to join them.
The event would target teach
ers looking for help, struggling to
respond to gang violence in the
community.
“I think a lot of teachers are
starting to realize that it's becom
ing a larger and larger problem,”
Crouthamel said.
He said he chose this service
project because he wants to raise
awareness of gang violence, a
problem that heavily affects teen
agers and other members of the
Chapel Hill and Durham area.
Crouthamel wanted to tackle
the problem of gang violence
after serving as a N.C. Teaching
Fellow, and teaching is important
to him.
“I want to be an educator. I
want to teach high school, and
I want to teach in Durham,” he
said.
Crouthamel said he believes
that teachers will be able to pass
their knowledge to future genera
tions to oppose gang violence in
the community.
“Teachers will be in the system
15 to 20 years, so that’s 15-20
years of difference they can make,”
he said.

that gang violence has been a topic
at the forefront of many people’s
minds since the murder of former
student body president Eve Carson
in March.
The campaign
Crouthamel has assembled a
committee to help with his cam
paign, which will use posters,
a Facebook group and word of
mouth to help students become
familiar with Crouthamel and his
platform for a community service
project.
In addition to having a
Facebook group for his own cam
paign, Crouthamel has joined
the groups of the other five cam
paigning for a coveted crown this
week.
This is something that
Livingston has also done in his
campaign.
Crouthamel also said he will be
spending a lot of time in the Pit this
week.
“I want to meet as many people
as possible and let them know my
passion for the school,” he said of
his goal there.
Crouthamel said one reason
he would represent UNC well is
that he tries to live his life the
way early 20th century Indian
political and spiritual leader
Mohandas Ghandi said was best:
to be the change you wish to see
in the world.
“I want to change the world,” he
said.
“Durham and Chapel Hill is a
great place to start.”
