In the next three months, theUNC-system Board of Governorswill be reviewing the Four Year Tuition Plan, which was created in2006 by President Erskine Bowlesto provide more stability to thetuition process.
The board is considering several recommendations.
In the next few weeks, The Daily Tar Heel will take a closer look at each of the seven policyrecommendations.
Recommendations for updating tuition policy
by tarini parti
sTATE And nATionAl EdiToR
The UNC-system Board of Governors are back where they
were four years ago — trying tomake tuition rates as predictableas possible for students.
Before President Erskine Bowlescreated a tuition plan in 2006,there were no limits on tuitionincreases and universities had noframework for using the revenuegained from tuition increases.
But a provision in the N.C. General Assembly this summer deviatedfrom the plan and made the tuitionpolicy revert back to uncertainty. It
allowed universities to make supple-mentary tuition hikes of up to $750
to offset budget cuts. With stimulus funds running
out and the UNC system consis-tently being forced to slash its bud-get, administrators say they can’tcut anymore, and tuition hikesmight be their only resort in theupcoming years.
So to avoid future sudden hikesin tuition, the board is reviewingthe cap on resident-undergradu-ate rates to give universities moreroom to increase tuition in years of decreased state funding, said UNC-system Chief of Staff Jeff Davies.
A task force created by the boardrecommended that universities be
allowed to increase tuition for resi-dent undergraduates by up to 10 sEE tuition Cap, pAGE 4

percent in years when state appro-priations are well below average,Davies said.
A cap of more than 10 percent would not be considered because it would put universities under a fed-eral watch list, he said. The currentcap is set at 6.5 percent.
Updating the tuition plan toincrease that cap to 10 percent willgive universities flexibility whilestaying within a limit, said CharlesMaimone, vice-chancellor for busi-
ness affairs at UNC-Wilmington, who was on the task force that

NOTED. A fire that caused $20,000 worthof damage to a home near Paragould, Ark.,
wasn’t started by an electrical fire, food burn-ing or arson.
It was caused by some dead plants. According to an insurance investigator’sreport, the flowerpot contained dead, decom-posing flowers planted in the summer of 2009spontaneously combusted.
QUOTED. “I do wish the family well — themoney from tourists will probably help them agreat deal — and I hope t he lamb survives.”

Just place it inside a pocket of salty, pretzel-like dough, then dunk it in cooking
oil for about 20 seconds, just enough time for it to remain alcoholic.
That’s the recipe for deep-fried beer, an new treat three years in the mak-
ing by Texas inventor Mark Zable. His creation will be officially unveiled at
a fried food competition at the Texas state fair later this month.
Five beer-filled pieces will sell for $5, and the Texas Alcoholic Commission has
ruled that people must be 21 or older to try it. Zable has only deep fried Guinness
so far, but said he might switch to pale ale in the future.
“It tastes like you took a bite of hot pretzel dough and then took a drink of beer,”
Zable said. A previous invention of his was jalapeno corndog shrimp.

For a department that valuesself-expression, communicationused to be a real problem for theDepartment of Dramatic Art.
Multiple groups competing forthe same theater space, numerousdirectorial boards and far too many productions meant that somethinghad to change.
“As I understand it, the quality of theater was at an all time lowin the University, but the numberof productions was at an all-timehigh,” said department studentrepresentative Miles Cozart.
In an effort to fix this prob-lem, the dramatic art departmentstreamlined its three branchesunder one directorial board lastfall.
Th e Lab ! Th eatre , D D A M a i n s t a g e a n d t h e U N CPlaywriting Studio unified morethan a year ago.
This season, there will be fourLab! shows and two DDA shows in
Kenan. Auditions are currently beingheld for the first two productions.
“We reduced the number of productions so the people aren’t sodamn tired,” said David Adamson,director of undergraduate studiesfor the department. “We are tryingto make things better.”
The department aimed to find amodel that allowed the most stu-dents to participate in productions
without overextending themselves, Adamson said.
Though funding for the threegroups remains separate, the
board of directors is now thesame.
Senior Zac Moon, one of fourstudent producers with Lab!,remembers the department’s pastdifficulties from his first year at theUniversity.
“Three separate groups were try-ing to use the same space in KenanTheatre and coordination was anissue,” Moon said.
Gregory Kable serves as the fac-ulty advisor on the board. Four stu-dent producing directors also leadthe board.
These directors, in addition toseveral other managers and staff members, have worked together inorder to establish clearer commu-nication. One board now controlsall of the groups.
“Now that it is run by one groupof people, it is much easier to com-municate,” Moon said.
The department is now able toplan the entire season of shows inadvance.
Lab! and Mainstage productionscollaborate and plan shows for
Kenan Theatre a semester beforethey premiere.
But working together to planhas not changed the makeup of these groups.
Lab! remains a completely stu-dent-run and student-funded orga-nization, while Mainstage is opento the wider community, memberssaid.
A year after the switch, studentsand faculty feel the change.
“I definitely felt a difference,”Moon said. “It became much clear-er who to contact.”
Adamson said he is excited forthe energy of the new season.
“At this point there is no tellinghow the season will be,” he said.
Luck and chemistry.Two local writers point to these forces as
the ones that brought them and kept themtogether during their 35 years of marriage.
Dragged by friends to see Fiddlin’ Bill andhis band perform in Boston in 1974, CarolHenderson, 57, had no intention marryingthe fiddler himself one year later.
“I took one look at him and thought ‘Oh!He’s the one,’” Carol said, “which was really
weird, because I was the ‘ice goddess’ in col-lege — that was one of my nicknames.”
Ten years younger than her husband,Bill Henderson, Carol said he robbed thecradle.
“I think the cradle robbed me,” Bill said.“Well that’s true,” Carol said. “I did pro-
pose to him.”Married on the same day as Bill and
Hillary Clinton, — “Hey, they’re still togeth-er,” Bill Henderson said — the couple haseked out a living as writers.
Although Bill has focused on coaching writing for the last few years, he hopes topublish a novel soon.
Carol, too, wants to publish anothermemoir and is currently working on severalediting projects.
After dabbling in music, film and the per-forming arts, Bill settled into a career as a
writer, publishing three novels.Carol, a creative nonfiction writer, has
also shifted focus to coaching and teaching writing but still publishes her own work onthe side.
“It was essential for me to find myself through writing and to share my writing
with others,” she said.“I’m really eager to help others find that
voice and get it out.”Bill said he has also been driven by some
form of artistic expression, starting with afull-length novel.
Bill drew from his personal experience asa musician for his first fiction novel, “StarkRaving Elvis,” a serious but comic story

about an Elvis impersonator.For his first foray into nonfiction work,
Bill published “I, Elvis: Confessions of aCounterfeit King,” in which he relates hispersonal experience of trying to be an Elvisimpersonator.
Driven by the importance of helpingpeople find their voice, Carol has also spenta lot of time in the Middle East, leading
workshops training Qataris to write abouttheir lives.
“Getting that out and helping them sharethat with others is what drives me,” Carolsaid. “That and my Hula-hooping.”
The Hendersons are always up for a fundiversion, whether it is Carol’s newest hobby or broadcasting 140-character micro storiesfrom Bill’s Twitter account.
But life hasn’t always been about Hula-hooping and tweeting.
Carol’s first memoir was about the trau-matic experience of losing their first child.
“Honing that narrative into a real story that was helpful to other people to read —that was big for me,” Carol said.

Hurricane Earl is nearing NorthCarolina, but the coast is the only area likely to be affected.
The state is expecting the cat-egory-three storm to impact thecoast today and be gone before the
weekend. As of 1 p.m. Wednesday, it had
sustained winds of 120 miles perhour, said Ryan Boyles, direc-tor of the State Climate Office of North Carolina. But by the timeit approaches the state, it willslow down by as much as half thespeed.
Although UNC does not expectsignificant impact, it is participatingin state emergency preparations.
The University is informing stu-dents of weather changes throughthe AlertCarolina website, but it
will use AlertCarolina text messag-es or e-mails to contact students if the situation worsens, said Randy
Young, spokesman for the UNCDepartment of Public Safety.
“There is little to no risk in theTriangle area,” Boyles said. “We may get some winds, we may see someclouds. I doubt we even see rain.”
He said they are pretty certainof the storm’s path in the next48 hours, but the intensity of thestorm is harder to predict.
“Hopefully this will move on intime on Friday so people can get outand enjoy the weekend,” he said.
But flooding and coastal ero-sion remain great risks, said Gavin
Smith, executive director for theCenter for the Study of NaturalHazards and Disasters.
“Just a change 80 miles east or west will make a huge difference inthe impact on the outer banks of North Carolina,” he said.
Ocracoke and Hatteras Islandshave already been evacuated inanticipation of the storm.
The State Emergency OperationCenter in Raleigh is open and com-
municating with local emergency centers, preparing for the potentialeffects of the storm, Smith said.
The state is also working withfederal organizations, such asFederal Emergency Management
Agency and the National Guard topre-position equipment and per-sonnel in threatened areas, he said.
UNC-Wilmington has formed its
own protocol in the event of a hur-ricane, said Kevin Madsen, emer-
gency manager for the university. Wilmington does not expect a directimpact from Earl, but the university is prepared nonetheless.
“We are monitoring the hur-ricane situation, and we commu-nicate with different departmentsand student leadership in theschool,” he said.
“Getting that out and helping them share that with others is what drives me. ” — Carol henDerson

But policy clarification was notthe only issue lurking in the forum.
“The hot button was the DTHarticle yesterday,” Dobson said. “I
was totally offended by it.“The first thing I did after I
read the article is that I called Bill(Burston) and Tonya (Sell) to sit
down and talk to them,” he said.Dobson said that he asked Sell,
the assistant director of housekeep-ing, about comments she madeabout slapping people aroundamong other things.
He then assured the forum thatSell was simply using figurativelanguage.
Several employees at the meet-ing suggested that Dobson writea rebuttal to Tuesday’s article todemonstrate department unity, buthe resisted and warned employeesagainst talking to reporters aboutpersonnel issues.
As the discussion progressed,the divide between workers
and management became moreapparent.
Workers were concerned aboutlosing rest and break privileges,
while management said it does not want workers to abuse breaks.
After reading employee breakand schedule policies, one audi-ence member said that “(workers)are being made to feel as if they arenot equals on this campus … (thepolicies) seem to be really, really,really harsh.”
Dobson said he would makesure discretion is used in thefuture to avoid management beingtoo harsh toward employees, add-ing that a distinction needs to be
made between well-needed rest breaks and blatant abuses of thesystem.
the best opportunity to preparefor Saturday’s LSU game, NorthCarolina football players will not beavailable to the media the remain-der of the week,” Best said in therelease.
While the Tar Heels could usea player of Austin’s caliber againsta team that has two national titlesin 10 years, they also face a squadthat had the 112th-ranked offensein the nation in 2009. The Tigers’offensive line also allowed 2.85sacks per game — good for 105thin the country.
In 2009, Austin played in all 13
of UNC’s games and accumulated42 tackles and four sacks. He’slisted as an All-America candidateand was likely to be one of the firstdefensive tackles selected in the2011 NFL Draft.
Austin is also one of the big-gest personalities on the team. Heregularly finds the camera and cel-ebrates with his teammates afternearly every tackle for a loss.
His absence will certainly be felt by the defensive line, but foresighton the part of the Tar Heels has putthe team in a position to soft en the
blow.
Austin and wide receiver GregLittle, who was also investigated by the NCAA, played with the secondteam during training camp. Fromthe first day of camp, which beganon Aug. 6, the players were missingfrom the first-string squad.
Neither of the players have beenallowed to talk to the media sincethe investigation began.
Juniors Quinton Coples andMichael McAdoo moved along thedefensive line earlier in trainingcamp because of the probability that Austin wouldn’t be able to play this season.
“I think the most prudent thingthat we can do is prepare,” Davissaid in an interview with TheDaily Tar Heel on Aug. 24. “Give(Austin and Little) some practice
opportunities, some practice repsduring the course of the week, butalso prepare for the inevitability that potentially they might not beable to play in this particular ballgame.
“That’s where depth, that’s where experience, that’s whereother guys stepping up and realiz-ing how important it is for them to
be prepared to play a small, limitedrole or maybe potentially a biggerrole.”
cess to know the likelihood of thecap being approved.
“There are some board membersmore willing to raise tuition thanothers,” Davis said.
The board will make its decision by the end of the year, before presi-dent-elect Thomas Ross takes over.
Ross, elected last week, did notgive a specific plan for tuition whenasked following the announcementof his selection.
Julie Rice-Mallette, financial aiddirector at N.C. State University and another member of the taskforce, said if the 10 percent cap isadopted, the board needs to makesure the system continues the com-mitment to need-based aid.
The tuition plan currently requires 25 percent of the revenuegained from increases to go towardneed-based aid.
UNC-CH Board of TrusteesChairman Bob Winston said he isunsure of how the increase in capcould affect the University.
“I don’t think there’s been enoughdiscussion yet to give the Board of Governors feedback and how wefeel about it,” Winston said.
The company’s 5-year-oldprogram, Corona Cares, willraise money to benefit patientsand families in the LinebergerComprehensive Cancer Center atUNC Hospitals.
Throughout the month of September, the company will raisefunds from beer sales to be puttoward a direct donation to thecancer center.
“It’s important for us as a com-pany to give back to the communi-ty, and this program is an excellent
way to do that,” said Bill Ligas, aspokesman for the Corona import-er, Crown Imports.
Twenty-five cents from the saleof every case of both Corona Extraand Corona Light sold in the state
will be donated to the program.The company will also raise
money through the sale of paperlimes in participating bars andretailers in North Carolina.
The company’s donation will be the first of its kind in the state.
Since 2005, the program hasexpanded from Chicago to bothcoasts.
Some are wary, however, of analcoholic beverage company rais-ing money for cancer.
Brittney Stokes, a sophomorefrom Eden, N.C., where there is aMiller Brewing Co. plant, said shefinds it difficult to reconcile the twoideas.
“My mom knows a lot of retir-ees from the [Miller] plant, andthe majority of them are now can-cer patients,” she said. “If they’regoing to have this program, thenthey need to raise awareness abouttheir own product and prevent thedisease instead of trying to cureit.”
Despite these concerns, repre-sentatives from the hospital do notsee a conflict of interest.

ISLAMABAD (MCT) — Three bomb blasts tore through a ShiiteMuslim procession Wednesday in Pakistan’s second-largest city,Lahore, killing at least 28 peopleand wounding 200 others, authori-ties said.
The attacks occurred as thou-sands of Shiites marched throughLahore’s streets in a traditionalmourning procession for Yaum-i-Ali, one of Shiite Islam’s mostrevered holy figures. No oneclaimed responsibility for the
blasts, but Sunni Muslim militantgroups have frequently targetedPakistan’s Shiite minority in thepast.
Lahore’s top administrativeofficial, Khusro Pervez, called the
attacks “very well planned” and car-ried out at a time when Pakistaniauthorities have been preoccupied
with massive floods that ravagedlarge sections of the country thissummer.
The blasts began just after Iftar,
the early evening period whenMuslims break their daily fast dur-ing the holy month of Ramadan.The first explosion was a low-intensity blast that struck march-ers as they neared the procession’sendpoint. A television camerashowed frantic marchers crawlingfrom the site amid a cloud of blacksmoke.
After the blasts, police struggledto maintain order as angry Shiitesset ablaze a police station.

9 to 5? Meet 9 to 3 — as in 3 o’clock in the morning.The minds behind The Independent Weekly’s new musicfestival in downtown Raleigh didn’t know what they weregetting themselves into when they started building the 120-
band bill from the bottom up. But if they manage to pullHopscotch off, it stands to leave an indelible impact on theTriangle’s music scene.
“It’s a nightmare,” Independent marketing and festivaldirector Greg Lowenhagen said. “A really fun nightmare.”
2010 promises to be a watershed year for music in NorthCarolina. With the arrival of Hopscotch this month and
Asheville’s Moogfest in October, the state has two huge first- year festivals on the horizon.
“It’s really well positioned — if we do it right — to create aunique niche in the Southeast,” Lowenhagen said. “Not just inRaleigh, not just in the Triangle, not just in North Carolina —
but really something that can attract people from Charleston,
Columbia, DC and Richmond and Asheville.”For Lowenhagen, devising Hopscotch was the next logical
step in an area that seems t o beg for a larger festival.“I felt that the city was ready,” Lowenhagen said. “There’s a
vibrant scene, there’s a lot of young people and a lot of greatestablished music venues.”
After pitching the idea of a multi-day festival in various bars and venues in Raleigh to The Independent’s receptiveowners, the next step was to come up with a diverse lineup.Lowenhagen allocated the responsibility to the publication’smusic editor, Grayson Currin.
“Greg gave me the best edict you can get,” Currin said.“’Draft the fantasy list of bands you’d like to have at a fes-tival.’”
Currin’s list has seen a few changes from when he begandrafting his dream team.
“Four of them died,” he said. “That’s how long we’ve beenplanning this festival — four people that were on the originallist have since died.”
Building an attractive lineup is an arduous task in itself,made even more difficult by the fact that Hopscotch hasn’thad the chance to establish a track record yet.
“Very few bands are just going to jump on board withsomething that’s brand new,” Lowenhagen said. “There are alot of bad promoters out there, a lot of people that fold, peoplethat don’t pay — everyone’s skeptical.”
Combating the incredulous is personal friend of Currinand Lowenhagen, Paul Siler, guitarist for Birds of Avalon.Siler’s foundation in local music and his multitude of industry friends helped the team score Chicago post-rockers Tortoise.The band’s commitment soon became the tipping point forother bands on the fence, Currin said.
“You start to add a band like Tortoise to a roster and then you get some of these up and coming bands like Washed Out,”Lowenhagen said. “And your list at the end of your e-mailstarts to grow.”
“Pretty soon, the roster starts to sell itself.”
One of the biggest challenges of building a bill is balance.Festivals need a sizeable turnout to remain economically
viable and a line-up of unknown bands isn’t guaranteed topack a club.
“I’m personally a huge fan of a lot of experimental, weirdmusic,” Currin said. “Noise, drone, improvisation — for a first-
year festival, incorporating that kind of stuff is risky. It’s notNew York. It’s not Brooklyn.”
It’s a risk the Hopscotch team is willing to take.Fostering the fringe is an across-the-board fusion of
national and local: Public Enemy shares a bill with The LoveLanguage while Vitamin Water sponsors alongside SchoolkidsRecords.
Big acts proliferate exposure and the idea is that someone visiting the area for the first time will have their interest gal- vanized in what the Triangle has to offer, Currin said.
Where Moogfest is backed by the music promotiongiant AC Entertainment, Hopscotch remains in the handsof Lowenhagen, Currin and only a handful of dedicated
Independent employees and interns.Tasks that would normally be delegated to teams and task
forces, like answering general information e-mails or makingsure the right streets are closed off, are left almost entirely toLowenhagen and Currin.
“It comes down to details like our official coffee sponsor,Larry’s Beans — we have to make sure their creamer passesstate code to be at the right temperature for service in theCity Plaza,” Lowenhagen said. “Meanwhile, what you’re real-ly concerned about is whether Broken Social Scene has theappropriate backstage setup they need.”
It doesn’t leave much room for a personal life. TheIndependent has given Lowenhagen a month off from hisnormal job as marketing director to focus on Hopscotch, butthe workload has only increased — Lowenhagen barely hadtime to catch dinner with his mother on her birthday.
For Currin, the ends justify the means.“It’s like, ‘Wow, this is a lot of phone calls and e-mailing and
making sure these details are in place and checking back withthis person about this detail and going back to t his person,’”Currin said.
“But at the end of it, you’re just like, ‘Oh shit. This is going
to be so fun.’ That’s kind of the ethos of the whole thing.”

‘The Record’ makes noise, artfully

There are some relationshipsthat stand the test of time — Romeoand Juliet, peanut butter and jelly,
wine and cheese.If The Nasher Museum of Art
at Duke has any say in the matter,records and art will be seen as an
equally classic pairing.This week, the museum launched
“The Record: Contemporary Artand Vinyl,” an exhibition that high-lights art in which vinyl plays anintegral role.
Trevor Schoonmaker drew on along-standing tradition of visualartists’ use of the record to curatethe show.
“The record is a subject that art-ists have been working with themat-ically for years and years,” he said.
Schoonmaker’s experiences asa UNC post-grad impacted histhought process as a curator.
“When I graduated, the first jobI had was in an independent recordstore. I moved back to WinstonSalem and I worked at the RecordExchange,” he said.
“It stems from that, but then
more so once I moved into curat-ing, just looking at work and see-ing the motif of the record as asubject that comes up over andover — it hadn’t really been dealt
with before.”Mark Katz, a professor in the
UNC music department, contrib-uted an essay to the exhibit’s cata-log called “Beware of Gramomania:The Pleasures and Pathologies of Record Collecting.”
For him, vinyl’s physical prop-erties make it conducive to visualart.
“I think the tactility of vinyl isimportant to people. You can pullout a recording, you can hold it, youcan look at the grooves,” he said.
“This is a slippery term, but ithas a kind of authenticity to it.”
And while the exhibit orbitsaround a central theme of therecord and its role in art, the worksthemselves range from small-scaledrawings to large installations.
“For me, every piece is impor-tant to tell a different story, in some
ways for a different audience,” saidSchoonmaker.
With a roster of artists thatrange from textbook names to rela-tive unknowns, the exhibit shoulddraw an assortment of viewers.
“The most savvy art aficionados will be drawn to different works because maybe they’ve nevernoticed that Jasper Johns ever pro-duced a work engaging a record.”
Though the exhibition takesplace in the context of a museum,the intricacies of the relationship
between records and visual art
extends far beyond the confines of the Nasher’s walls.
Katz sees the connection between these two worlds on thesleeve of a record.
“Some are really beautiful cov-ers, these 12-by-12 artworks. That’sa lot of the motivation behindrecord collecting. People associatethe records they have with the cov-ers,” he said.
But in an age of CDs and mp3s,
does vinyl still have relevance withthe Pitchfork generation?
Schoonmaker is confident thatrecords have a sense of nostalgia
and viscerality that modern medi-um lack.
“Mp3’s, they’re singular,”Schoonmaker said.
“When you look through oldrecords, it’s like they’re teleporting
you to another time and place. I want people to get that feeling inthe show.”

Saint Solitude is the stage nameof Dup Crosson, an Asheville resi-dent who manages to create full-bodied, melodic pop as a solo musi-cian. This Saturday, he comes to Local 506 with Free Electric Stateand Birds and Arrows.
Crosson took a break from a bikeride to chat with Diversions staff
writer Anna Norris about his cre-ative process, local music festivalsand his take on local music scenes.
d i v e r s i o n s : You areresponsible for almost every noteon this album. Did you choose todo that out of necessity, or were
you looking for maximum stylisticcontrol?
dup crosson: There’ssome trumpet and cello and some
vocals done by friends. It’s kind of the way I’ve always done it, so it’smostly out of habit. I always jokearound with people saying it servesmy megalomania a lot better.
I really just like being in controlof all those nuances. I do miss thecloseness and creativity with otherpeople in the studio, but I also
work really strongly when I’m by
myself in a creative atmosphere by myself.
diversions: Was it hardto get used to touring with a full
band?
dc: I had always traditionally played with other people, and Iused to do a solo show with a loopstation. I think I still like makingrecords by myself but as to playinglive shows the chemistry speaks for

itself. I think the audience really connects more when you have a full
band. Also for me, I’m a drummerfirst and foremost, and having livedrums really means a lot to me.
diversions: Was it a
coincidence that you chose such alonesome-sounding moniker with
your lush, poppy sound, or was itall on purpose?
dc: That was actually a totalaccident. The name wasn’t meantto be what it turned out to be. Ididn’t expect this project to turninto my solo thing. It just kind of stuck. And I think over the yearsI have made more upbeat music. Ithink it was a reflection of whereI was personally. I did grow uplistening to depressing music, butit’s hard to listen to Elliot Smithrecord after Radiohead record afterSmashing Pumpkins record.
dive: Your Myspace saysthere are only a few more shows
before heading into the studio. Are you going to keep it as a solo thing,or are you going to add a few morepeople in the process?
dc: The basics of it will be just me. I’ve been demo-ing a lotof sounds that are just me. But I’vegot another month before I headinto the studio to start recording,and I’m going to try and get a lotof people into the process.
I think I want a little more thirdparty critique and intervention. Idon’t want to limit myself to justmy own ideas this time. I want to
bounce some ideas off of other peo-ple. I have met a lot of other people
whose talents I want to use.
dive: Do you have any plansto check out Hopscotch or a littlecloser to home, Moogfest?
dc: I could potentially checkout Hopscotch. Moogfest I was onthe fence about. I really do want togo see bands like School of SevenBells, but I don’t know if you knowthis, you’re not guaranteed an entry even with a ticket. I don’t knowabout dropping $75 and not beingsure you’ll get to see the bands. But
you know, I’m not used to the fes-tival thing.
dive: What are your plans forshows this weekend, and for travel-ing and touring after this upcom-ing album? Would you like to try and get into the festival circuit?
dc: Well, you know it’s a littleearly in the planning stages to belooking at tour destinations just
yet, but yeah definitely. I’d loveto play a couple festivals, it’d be agreat atmosphere. You know, if thedemand is there, we’ll go there.I’m really excited for the show –I’ve played Local 506 before and itimmediately spoiled me as to whereI want to play around Chapel Hill.I think it’s one of the best venuesaround there.
dive: You reside in Asheville, but you’ve played a lot of shows inChapel Hill and Raleigh. What
would you say the about the musicscene in Asheville versus the onehere?
dc: Actually, I have this con- versation a lot with friends in
Chapel Hill who want to convinceme to move to Chapel Hill. They say my project would be more acceptedthere, but the sense of place I havein Asheville is very strong, and tome that’s more important than
being in a place where the scenemight be better. It’s like movingsomewhere for a new job — it’s notgoing to work if you don’t feel aconnection with the town.

Ten movies to fall
for this autumnMachete
If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if you pissed off Danny Trejo, Robert Rodriguez’snewest action flick has all theanswers.
With a trailer that boastsmachine guns, swordfights andmassive explosions, “Machete”guarantees heart-romping actionin the sordid yet enthralling stylefor which Rodriguez is known.
Buried
Starring Ryan Reynolds as PaulConroy, a US contractor kidnappedand buried alive in Iraq, “Buried”sets out to prove that not all thrill-ers need big budgets and specialeffects to be tense.
Much of the film is claustropho- bically shot from within the coffin, which will be Conroy’s grave at theend of the film unless he can deliv-er a hefty ransom to his unknownattackers.
the Social Network
Told through the brilliant cine-matic eye of David Fincher (“FightClub,” “Zodiac”), this true story of the dawn of Facebook unravels thedeeds of inventor Mark Zuckerberg(Jesse Eisenberg) and the allega-tions of copyright infringementmade against him.
Tracking both the creation andrise of this internet phenomenon,it’s a film that speaks particular-ly to today’s internet-addicted,Facebook-proficient generation.
StoNe
Any movie containing power-house actors Edward Norton andRobert De Niro is worth gettingexcited about. In “Stone,” Nortonplays a convicted arsonist seekingto get out of prison by having his
wife manipulate his parole officer(De Niro).
Scripted by NC screenwriter Angus MacLachlan (of “Junebug”fame), the movie looks to be ataught and intricate psychologicalthriller.
hereafter
Described by leading manMatt Damon as Clint Eastwood’s“French film,” this movie jugglesthe storylines of four differentpeople who have been affected by death in different ways.
The destinies of an Americanpsychic (Damon), a French tsuna-mi survivor (Cécile de France) andtwo twin English boys (Frankie andGeorge McLaren) converge in thisupcoming drama.
127 hourS
It was inevitable that the story of mountain climber Aron Ralston
would get the big-screen treat-ment, and luckily it’s at the handsof Danny Boyle.
The movie depicts the eventssurrounding Ralston’s infamousadventure that ended with him
being pinned under a rock for daysand ultimately amputating his ownarm to escape.
due date
Robert Downey Jr. and ZachGalifianakis join comedic forcesin this road trip movie about anexpectant father (Downey Jr.)hitching a ride with a strugglingactor (Galifianakis) to make it tothe birth of his child.
While it may be a repackagedform of Galifianakis’s breakoutfilm “The Hangover,” you can stillexpect some fresh laughs full of absurd situational humor.
love aNd other drugS
Director Edward Zwick (“BloodDiamond,” “Defiance”) isn’t knownfor his dramatic comedies, buthe’ll nonetheless helm one with“Love and Other Drugs.” StarringJake Gyllenhaal as a suave sales-man hawking male performance-enhancing drugs and AnneHathaway as his love interest,the film is both a romance and askewering of the pharmaceuticalindustry.
Black SwaN
Natalie Portman and MilaKunis portray ballet dancers thatget caught up in a rivalry tinged
with sexual intimacy in Darren Aronofsky’s newest drama. Freshfrom his critically hailed 2008project, “T he Wrestler,” Aronofsky has already garnered hype for thisdeliciously dark, warped film. Youdefinitely don’t want to miss thisone.
the fighter
In “The Fighter,” the story of blue-collar boxing legend “Irish”Micky Ward and his trainer/half-
brother Dickie Eklund is broughtto life by Mark Wahlberg andChristian Bale.
Director David O. Russell cre-ated the cult classic “Three Kings”and Ward’s thrilling trilogy of fights with Arturo Gatti captivated
boxing fans, so expect this film to be a knockout.

arnhao + holygrailers split ep
electro-pop
On the ArnHao + HolygrailersSplit EP, Raleigh’s Denmark ONErecords asserts itself as a major andemerging force in the local elec-tronic scene.
ArnHao and Holygrailers ignitethe fire on the label’s first split EP,crafting an ethereal and soulful takeon electro-pop.
Combining the artistic efforts of Arturo “Trizz” Holmes and UNCalum Andrew Hamlet, Atlanta-
based ArnHao draws from Pitchfork
influences like Toro y Moi and BlocParty and infuses them with an irre-sistible warmth, the sonic equiva-
lent of a defibulator.Full of celestial references,
sparkling synth and pulsating beats, ArnHao’s “Oh?! (IntangibleFantasy)” sweeps the listener into aswirling body of sound. Lyrics like “I
want to ride my bicycle into the sky / I want to escape on an escalator inthe city,” reference “intangible fan-tasies,” as the song’s soothing vocalsultimately send the listener into a
blissful trance.Raleigh’s Nikhil Shah, aka
Holygrailers, relies on similar souland sensuality in his two dubsteptrack contributions, “Rosa” and“Morning Nap / Buttons.”
On the latter, soft static andambient piano chords creep to life,much like a slow start to an early morning. At first the diversity islimited and hints at overrepetition,a frequent consequence of electro-pop. But throw in a drippy faucetand a growing commotion of snapsand twitches, and Shah maintainsa simple and refreshing balance of synth and soul with striking preci-sion.
Denmark ONE’s debut compila-tion proves just how infectious andmultifaceted electronic music can
be. But it’s the way in which bothartists rely heavily on a sense of emotionalism that sets them apartfrom the Passion Pits and MGMTs,
especially in a genre that tends torely all too frequently on the sameold musical tropes.
Denmark’s debut EP has certain-ly whet our palettes for more soulfulelectro, and based on the work fromthe two contributing artists, thingsshould only get sweeter from here.

father Murphyno room for the weak
rock/experimental
No Room For The Weak, a four-song EP from the Italian trio FatherMurphy, is an ironic title. On analbum whose pace feels like a deadpulse, the weakness is glaring.
Father Murphy boasts a brandof doom-and-gloom rock that’spowered by sparse electric guitars,swirling feedback and droning
vocals.Sudden stops and starts to the
band’s songs make for a weird,rhythmic tension. It’s the kind of stuff you’d find in an old cult clas-sic horror movie. With its seem-ingly religious name and sound,it’s a successful gimmick.
But this is a hard genre for thecasual listener to get into, and
Father Murphy doesn’t do themany favors.
The nine-minute, patience-eroding “We Now Pray With TwoHands We Now Pray With True
Anger,” contains only the same gui-tar chord with barely distinguish-able chant-like vocals.
The chanting mutates to wailingand back, but the instrumentationnever changes to take the song any-
where, leaving you wondering whatthe point of the ride was.
And while Father Murphy’ssophomore album had songs filled
with a sense of purpose and drive,that feeling is gone here.
Perhaps the only song worthlistening to is its cover of LeonardCohen’s “There Is A War,” in whichthe group’s reverb and echoesmake the song much more sinis-ter-sounding than the original’sacoustic plucking and lightheartedchorus could.
An EP is a chance for a band touse the minimum amount of timeto pack the maximum punch to alistener. Unfortunately, it seemsFather Murphy decided to use thisformat as a vessel for its own self-indulgence, a roster of filler tracksthat will deter all but the mostdedicated of their fans.

get low
Tennessee hermits are strangecreatures, especially when they hide in the hills and shroud them-selves in rumor and legend. As sub-
ject matter, they make for strangemovies.
But strange is as strange does.Faulkner, for instance, was astrange guy, and Southern Gothic isa strange genre, but their strange-ness is majestic and awesome.
“Get Low,” an Appalachian tonepoem and a Southern folk film, is
likewise awesome in its strange-ness. On the one hand, its mostmemorable image is an old blackpreacher meandering through apiney wood to the distant soundof scratching fiddles. On the otherhand, it co-stars Bill Murray.
Talk about strange.Robert Duvall stars as the afore-
mentioned hermit, Felix Bush, who lives a reclusive life outside of town. Rumors swirl of Bush’s darkpast, and Bush doesn’t help things
by beating young men in the street with pick handles.
“Get Low” has cinematography crisp as a winter morning in thefoothills, and its acting is high-quality, even by Duvall’s standards.But it still feels more like a literary endeavor than anything else. Equalparts charming and haunting, it’sloaded with the humor and horrorof a true Southern novel, as well asits cast of archetypal and movingcharacters, chief among them oldman Bush.
Bush is an ornery Faulknerianfigure with a few outsized ambi-tions, and the movie’s major plot
vehicle is the confessional livingfuneral he throws for himself withthe help of carpet-bagging funer-al home director Frank Quinn(played with classic deadpan ease
by Murray). The resulting climaxis a true spectacle, and though the
story is occasionally conventional,the ultimate balance is unambigu-ously in the movie’s favor.

the laSt eXorciSM
Around 250 exorcisms are per-formed in the U.S. each year, whichmeans that either a few hundreddemons are deported annually or
Americans subscribe to fictitioushealing powers. With his uniquely minimalist approach to horror,
director Daniel Stamm considers which of these possibilities is morefrightening, creating a faux-docu-mentary whose lo-fi realism andintimate performances compen-sate for a dearth of chills.
The film follows a disillusionedpriest named Cotton Marcus(Patrick Fabian) whose long-termpractice of exorcism recently cameto a halt when he realized that it
was nonsense. He brings a filmcrew along with him to Ivanwood,La., where he intends to showthat the exorcism he’ll perform on16-year-old Nell Sweetzer (Ashley Bell) is nothing but theatrics.
But things change when post-exorcism Nell becomes disturb-ingly violent and demonic, suggest-ing that her condition may not be
psychological but in fact real.Stamm cleverly uses the mock-
doc narrative style to force audi-ences into reconciling explanationsfor Nell’s behavior. Initially viewersare coaxed into the same disbelief as Marcus, but once the documen-tarians seem to lose sight of theiroriginal thesis, the audience is lefton its own.
That is, until the final 10 min-utes, which undermine the open-ended tone that Stamm so keenly cultivated throughout most of thefilm. Without saying too much,Stamm does decide to recklessly slam the door of possibilities shutin this final act. And without sayingtoo little, it flat-out sucks.
But what keeps it all together arethe film’s superb lead performanc-es. Fabian’s smiley, sleazy preacheris somehow a relatable figure, asBell’s tormented Nell sports lov-able bounce one moment and
wicked fury the next. With almostno digital effects and intentionally unpolished editing, Bell single-handedly carries the film to itsscariest heights.
Much like a demon new to thesoul-possession game, this filmplants disturbing thoughts in theaudience’s mind but forgets tomake it scream.

Wl Ficc f ic
by elizabeth byrum
staff writer
For local music blogger Zeno Gillof Durham’s Pox World Empire,finding a blog name came as easily as recalling his daughter’s unusualtitle for the family car.
It’s an apt name. Walter the Fish,Gill’s new music blog, aims to letreaders see unconventional Q&Asin which two musicians intervieweach other.
“What I’m hoping for is somemore in-depth questioning. I’ma musician myself. I’m hoping tolearn the sort of things I would wantto learn from musicians — the craftof the songwriting, the recordingprocess, the bands’ dynamics andall those details,” said Gill.
The first conversation, featur-ing The Old Ceremony’s DjangoHaskins and Charlotte’s AnnaBullard, delves into the roots of Bullard’s songwriting, the type of questioning that Gill had in mindfor the interviews.
Although he runs the blog, Gill’sprimary role is one of moderatorand initial contact. Once two musi-cians are set up, they control theinterview process, including thequestions and method of convers-ing.
In Gill’s experience, it only takesa brief explanation of the concept
behind Walter the Fish before musi-cians are enthusiastic about the idea— the dynamic between artists isalready there.
“I think there have already beensome cool questions that maybenon-musicians hadn’t thought toask. I am hoping that things will geteven more involved. The interviews— I’ve been calling them conversa-tions — I am thinking they mighteventually be less about an inter-
viewer and an interviewee, andmore about two musicians havingconversation without a particularsubject in mind.”
For Maria Albani of Chapel Hill’sOrganos and Schooner, postingher interview to the site felt like agood fit — she had already spokento Broken Social Scene’s Andrew
Whiteman, but had yet to find the
right venue for publication.“For our interview, Andrew and
I did that on our own. I knew thatI was going to do something withthat, but I never really found theright thing for it,” said Albani.
From discussing the differenttracks on Albani’s Organos EP toher ultimate DJ name (it’s 9LiVEZ),the two were able to engage in ques-tioning on their own terms.
From stripped-down song expla-nations to quirky conversationsabout instruments, Walter the Fishprovides a sense of informality thatother blogs and publications lack.Its casual nature fosters conversa-tions that might not occur in othersources of media.
“That’s another nice thing aboutthis musician-to-musician conver-sation is that we get to hear a musi-cian’s response to a song,” said Gill.
Gill has several other collabora-tions in the works, including con-
versations between Brad Cook of Megafaun and Mac McCaughan of Superchunk as well as Reid Johnsonof Schooner and Stuart McLamb of The Love Language.
If all goes according to plan, Gillhopes that the blog will continueto expand in content, includingnational and international namesand other formats such as Skypeinterviews.
The blog may still be getting itsfeet wet, but the local and regionalfocus Gill places on Walter the Fishallows it to be a relatable resource— while it is a great way for musi-cians to sync on the same level, itis equally satisfying for the generalmusic fan.
“We are just lucky we live ina place where we have this greatmusic scene with a million musi-cians, and some of them arenationally and internationally known.”
It’s a rarity that Gill doesn’t takefor granted.
“It provides a pretty easy segway into expansion, I’m hoping,” saidGill.
Louisiana State quarterbackJordan Jefferson must be lookingforward to returning to the GeorgiaDome.
In his freshman year, Jeffersongrabbed LSU’s starting job after
winning the 2008 Chick-fil-A Bowl
Offensive MVP in a 38-3 blowoutof Georgia Tech.
The LSU offense struggled last year, as they finished an anemicninth-from-last in yards per gamein the Football Bowl Subdivision.
The main problem for the Tigers was a lack of blocking. Jeffersonspent as much time running away from burly defensive linemen ashe did looking downfield for openreceivers.
“He’s a kid that’s very athletic, very mobile; he can extend plays with hislegs,” UNC coach Butch Davis saidduring a teleconference on Monday.“Obviously he’s thrown for over2,000 yards, so he really representsa multi-dimensional threat.”
LSU can only hope that Jeffersonis much improved from the sopho-more that led the Bayou Bengals to
a disappointing 9-4 campaign.“He’ll play better,” LSU coach
Les Miles said in t he same Monday teleconference. “We expect him toplay better. His leadership abilitiesare still getting better.
“He’s prepared very well thissummer,” Miles said. “He had a
very good summer. He’s in the bestshape of his life. He’s really beenaggressive and is learning.”
Davis said that despite thestruggles, it was clear to him thatJefferson improved over the courseof last season.
“Watching their film, they havea lot of talented, gifted athletes andsome kids that are extremely explo-sive,” Davis said. “They present achallenge to any football team, andit’d certainly be something we’ve
been working forward towards.”LSU’s offensive line will be
strongly tested by UNC’s formi-
dable defensiveline, even thoughit was announced
Wednesday thatMarvin Austin
would not play.Safety Deunta
Williams believesthat two newpotential starters,Quinton Coplesa n d T y d r e k ePowell, are ready to step up andmake contribu-
tions along the defensive line.“They understand that they are
kind of the new guys in the unit,and they don’t want to be the weaklink,” Williams said on Tuesday.
Williams especially singled outCoples as a guy who has turned
heads during the course of train-ing camp.
“He is one guy who a lot of guys were wondering what position he would play,” Williams said. “I thinkhe’s done a great job of getting greattechnique.”
If the LSU linemen can keepCoples, Powell and the rest of thedefense at bay, Jefferson will havenumerous weapons to throw to.Terrence Toliver returns afteramassing more than 700 receiving
yards last year.Teaming with Toliver will be big-
play threat Russell Shepard. After being recruited as a five-star quar-terback to LSU, Shepard moved to
wide receiver and spent most of theseason tethered to the bench.
He showcased his blazing speed with a number of long p lays whenhe was on the field.
“That’s certainly the plan,” Milessaid. “We’d like to throw (Shepard)some balls. We’d need more pro-tection for the offense to get in theposition to give him the football.”
