Will Partin, a graduate student at UNC, is planning on teaching a

new course, Art History 290: The Critical Histories of Video Games.

By Carly BerkenblitStaff Writer

For Will Partin, exciteddoesn’t begin to capture hisfeelings about the University’sfirst humanities course on

video games.“Excited is an under-

statement,” said Partin, thegraduate student teaching thecourse this summer.

The summer session

course, titled Art History290: The Critical Historiesof Video Games, will look at

video games through theirhistory, theory, form, functionand culture.

“I didn’t take a class ongame studies until my senior

year,” Partin said. “Once Itook that class, I knew I’d

want to teach my own versionsomeday.”

The new games courseopened for enrollment thissemester, and Partin saidquite a few students havealready signed up.

The focus of the courseis twofold. According to thesyllabus, the class will look

at the relationship betweengame designers and the play -ers. The class will also situategames in their cultural andhistorical context.

Freshman Bruce Zhangsaid he has never heard of thecourse, but he would be inter-ested in taking it.

“There is a lot of debateabout video games being

violent or sexi st,” Zhangsaid. “(I think) that learningthe history and the currentstate of video games could

be interesting .”Partin has similar ideas for

his course.“By virtue of (video games’)

popularity, games both pro-duce and reflect culturalattitudes toward race, gender,

violence and sexuality,” Partinsaid. “There’s no one way totalk about games, so I wantedto develop a curriculum that

would reflect the diversity ofthe medium.”

Partin also added a number of field trips into hiscourse. One trip includes a

visit to the Ubisoft studioin Cary, which makes videogames including “Assassin’sCreed” and “Just Dance.”

He also plans to utilize

guest speakers into classlectures who range fromprofessional gamers to indiegame designers.

Senior Dalia Kaakour saidshe has never heard of thecourse but said she has neverhad any interest in games.

But Partin explained howthe course goes beyond just

video games.“One of my central learn-

ing goals for the course isfor students to understandthat games can’t be reducedto a single cultural monolith… (games) can be examinedthrough many theories andtake many forms,” Partin said.

Partin explained that while

game studies isn’t a new dis-cipline, his generation neverhad to adapt to gaming.

“When I was very young,my parents used games to helpteach me the alphabet, basicmath and typing,” Partin said.

The use of video gamesas learning tools still appliestoday and will continue to berelevant for future genera-tions, Partin said.

“I want (gaming) to betaken more seriously as amedium,” Partin said.

For students looking toearn more credits and knockout a few general educationrequirements, summer schoolcould be an attractive option.

“I think for students whoreally are trying to graduatein four years and want to do asecond major or minor, sum-mer school is a great option,”said Jan Yopp, dean of sum-mer school.

Each summer session isfive and a half weeks long,and classes meet for an hourand a half each week day.Maymester courses only lastfor three weeks, but studentsare in class on week days forthree hours and 15 minutes,

Yopp said.This summer, the

University is offering 550 sec-tions of summer classes, 60 of

which are during Maymester.Maymester and summer

school cost the same percredit hour. For undergradu-ate North Carolina residents,the cost is $235 per credithour while out-of-state stu-dents will pay $620 percredit hour.

Yopp said Maymester ismore suited for students who

want time for other activitiesduring the summer.

“One of the ideas (behindMaymester) was to give stu-dents some options so thatthey could earn some creditin summer and then have freetime to do an internship, dostudy abroad, work a job ordo something else with theirsummer,” she said.

Some Maymester students will even get to travel as partof their course.

Professor Geoffrey Bellis teaching a course in theenvironment and ecologydepartment that will spenda week in Clearwater, Fla.,in the Tampa Bay. Students

will apply the concepts theylearned in class by helpingrestore islands affected byinvasive plants.

Bell said he thinks theformat of Maymester cours-

es lends itself well to thisexperiential style.

“You want the emphasisto be on actually doing stuff,”he said.

Although this is his firstMaymester course, Bell saidhe has seen studies that haveshown cases where shortenedclass terms have enhancedstudent learning. Bell said hethinks part of the reason is

because students do not haveto balance five courses.

Professor Brandon Baynesaid this could even be a chal-lenge in a summer sessioncourse, especially in thosethat typically come with a lotof reading.

“You have to think abouthow to structure the class in a

way that’s fruitful,” he said. “It’sa challenge to really synthe-size the material and achievehigher levels of mastery.”

A religious studies profes-sor, Bayne said he enjoyedthe smaller class size ofsummer courses because itallowed him to interact more

with students.He said in his summer

course last year, he had 12students in a class that nor-mally has about 180 studentsduring the school year.

Yopp said the averageMaymester class size is 14 stu-dents. She said summer session

varies more because it includesmore large lecture classes.

Editor: summer is a time for depthCOLUMN

Sam SchaeferSummer Editor

A s a person who hasspent the bulk of myalmost 21 years of

existence within the city lim-

its of Chapel Hill, it might betempting to believe I knoweverything I’ll ever need toabout this area.

This is a sentiment I’vesometimes noticed amongfriends approaching the endof their time at UNC, butit’s especially an idea I oftenheard expressed by peopleI went to high school with

just before we graduatedfrom East Chapel Hill HighSchool.

At times, it has been anotion I have entertainedas well. It’s easy to fall into

a routine, to feel too busy toimagine the lives that unfold

beyond the sights of ourfamiliar routes.

But in reality, it was aridiculous thought.

It’s impossible to know andunderstand the lives of everyperson even in a small town,and Chapel Hill is no longer a

small town.It’s a big town, and it’s get-

ting bigger.But summers in Chapel

Hill feel different.There are plenty of reasonsI love Chapel Hill in the sum-mer — near-daily YoPo trips,

warm nights, outdoor music,pickup basketball with oldfriends — but it ’s the town’stemporary contraction in sizeand slowdown in pace thatinfatuate me.

In the summer, everyoneseems in less of a hurry andmore willing to talk.

Chapel Hill feels more likethe town of my childhood — aplace where people have timeto tell stories.

I think it’s this quality,more than any other charac-teristic, that attracted me topursue the Summer Editor

position at The Daily TarHeel. A newspaper is a fantas-

tic place to work because, if you’re doing your job well,it is a supremely humblingexperience. It exposes youto people and perspectivesthat live outside of your neatroutines.

Your job is to investigateand relay the stories of thosepeople — and to do it as fairly,accurately, empatheticallyand completely as possible.

This is a tremendousopportunity and responsibility.

Often, the most importantstories are the ones that aremost difficult to tell, ones thatare deliberately hidden away

because they challenge ourcomplacency and make usuncomfortable.

Chapel Hill’s unhurriedsummer nature does notmean that we will be able tocapture every nuance of allthose stories in this commu-nity, but it gives us a chanceto slow down and look moreclosely at the stories we dotell.

We will make mistakes thissummer, and we could evenmiss stories that urgentlyneed telling if we are notcareful.

Nonetheless, my staffand I are going to throwourselves into our missionas best we can — the task of

telling the most important,most human stories of thiscommunity.

We are students who arelearning the ins and outs ofthis profession, and we willneed help if we’re going to dothis well.

Students, come work withus. We’ll have the time toteach you, and you’ll have thetime to learn.

And everybody else, talkto us. We want to know yourstory, and we’ll have moretime to tell it the way itdeserves.

Cely’s House brings Italian artist to campsThe summer camp is

devoted to teaching

kids about art.

Robert McNeelySenior Writer

For over 25 years, Celyand Bill Chicurel have been

working to bring the joy ofarts and crafts to children ofall ages.

The husband and wife arethe founders of Cely’s House– an art institution offer-

ing classes in a wide rangeof artistic disciplines to thepeople of Chapel Hill.

Founded in 1988, Cely’sHouse runs out of theChicurels’ home and hostseverything from birthday cel-ebrations to summer camps.Cely Chicurel, a former pro-duction potter and art enthu-siast, runs the main operation

while her husband helps toschedule and organize theinstitution’s events.

This summer, Cely’s House will host six weeks of summercamp for about a dozen chil-dren in the area, with the goalof introducing them to differ-

ent art styles and theory.“It’ll be a very full sum-

mer,” Cely said. “(Cely’sHouse) is kind of an old-timey type of camp, but we’redoing all types of crafts. Itry to offer as many differentmedia as I can.”

Cely said her love of artsand crafts began with her firstcamp experience and howcreative she felt like it allowedher to be. She said fosteringthat same sense of accom-plishment with people hasalways been exciting to her.

Bill Chicurel said the years

the couple has devoted tomaking Cely’s House a well-rounded artistic organizationhave made both him and Celytrue professionals.

“We’ve pretty much per-fected it,” he said. “We sort o fimprove each year as far asmost things go, but it’s always

been such an enjoyable thing.”In addition to being what

Cely Chicurel refers to asthe bookkeeper for the orga-nization, Bill Chicurel alsoteaches piano at the couple’shome. He said in the yearssince the couple has startedteaching the community,they have seen many of the

COURTESY OF CELY’S HOUSE

Cely’s House will host seven weeks of summer camp for localchildren. During July, the campers will learn about Italian artists.

“We’ve started seeing a second generationcome through here,” Bill Chicurel,

piano teacher at Cely’s House

children they first taughtgrow up and move out intothe world.

“We almost feel likegrandparents in a way,” BillChicurel said. “We’ve startedseeing a second generationcome through here whoseparents were kids of ours, andsome of them are now even

helping us out.”During July the camps will

feature guest lectures fromartist Beatrice Ruggeri, who

will help educate studentsabout Italian artists.

“I’m focusing more on the visual a rts and some o f thegreat Italian painters,” shesaid. “It’s easy for kids to seethe art, but I try and reallyget them to think about

what the se arti sts rea llymeant. I like to introducethem to why these peopleare important as well as

what the y did.” After relocating from

Italy about two years ago,

Ruggeri settled in Chapel Hilland made contact with CelyChicurel after hearing abouther group. Since then, the twohave collaborated on various

workshops and projects.“(Cely Chicurel) is an

amazing artist and very tal-ented,” Ruggeri said. “Her

way and approach with chil-

dren and family is very simi-lar to mine. At the beginningof every workshop, she really

works to make everyone feelcomfortable.”

Cely Chicurel said thememories she has createdfrom running the summercamps have been incrediblyrewarding and that kids get agreat deal from the exposure.

“When I see how they’vegrown and their confidenceat the end, that alwaysmakes me excited,” she said.“Everyone is able to takesomething from it.”

Many aspects of Chapel Hilland UNC’s campus go quietin the summer months — butfor Moral Monday protesters,the season represents a timefor getting fired up, for changeand for more work to be done.

The N.C. NAACP-ledprotests have been takingplace for the last two years,

both within and around thestate legislature in Raleigh.Protesters include people ofall ages and backgrounds —seniors fighting for Medicaidexpansion alongside children

younger than 10 calling for better public education.

The weekly protests started

in 2013. Hundreds of protes-tors were arrested that first

year, including students and

local government officials.The organization said

the protests will continuethis summer depending onhow the state legislatureapproaches key issues, suchas the voter ID law. If statelawmakers do not act inaccordance with the desiredoutcomes of the NAACP, thenthe protests will continue.

During his closingremarks at the HistoricThousands on Jones Streetrally in February, the Rev.

William Barber, pre sidentof the N.C. chapter of theNAACP, announced thatthe Easter holiday was the

deadline for the N.C. General Assembly to make progresson certain issues.

“(If) they keep crucify -ing our children’s educationand crucifying minimum

wage and crucifying votingrights, then we promise thisstate that in the season ofPentecost, the defibrillators

will come out again, and we will engage in nonviolent civildisobedience,” Barber said.

Students and facultyhave been among the MoralMonday protestors arrestedduring demonstrations ofcivil disobedience. Duke his-tory professor William Chafeis one of them.

He said the arrests wereundeserved, and the protest-

ers are simply exercising theirright to free speech.

“It’s a very simple process

of expressing yourself in aform of speech, which is tocarry a sign and sing a songand to do so without inter-rupting the legislature but

within the legislative build-ing,” Chafe said. “Frankly,it was a fairly stupid moveon the part of the police tosay that that was illegal andunconstitutional.”

The legislative building’srules have been changed this

year, affecting the time andmanner in which protests canoccur and potentially result-ing in more arrests.

The updated rules say pro-test areas must be marked

and cannot block the entry ways to the chambers, thechapel and the legislative

services office.Demonstrators can’t block

elevators or photocopiers.UNC senior Shauna Rust,

co-president of the Campus Y, said she participates in theprotests to rally against votingrestrictions and other lawsthat she says discriminateagainst minority groups.

“There’s so many issuesthat are really important …especially for students and

just people in general in NorthCarolina right now,” Rust said.

“But last year I was specifi-cally focused on voting rights,the new voter ID law that

would really impact a lot of

university students in NorthCarolina and also people ofcolor and working people in

the state.”Rust said Moral Mondays

provide a way to get largegroups of people together toshow solidarity in support ofcertain issues.

“It really sends a powerfulmessage,” she said. “You cango and individually meet withlegislators, but I feel like it’salways more powerful andreally sends a message when

you have such a large amountof people show up in forceand support of a lot of differ-ent issues that they’re reallypassionate about.”

Key injuries hurt the Diamond Heels

DTH/JOHANNA FEREBEE

Junior center fielder Skye Bolt (20) makes a hit in the Tar Heels’ game versus App State on March 24.

By Carlos CollazoAssistant Sports Editor

The 2015 season for theNorth Carolina baseball teamhas been one of ups and downs

— 32 games into the season. After a convincing openinghome series sweep againstSeton Hall to start the year,the UNC baseball teamshowed that it had the pitch-ing strength — both in thestarting rotation and the bull-pen — to compete with thetop teams in the ACC.

“Our bullpen’s really good,”said Coach Mike Fox said afterthe final game of that series.

Since then, things havetaken a turn. While juniorreliever Reilly Hovis — who

was second on the team lastseason with 81 strikeouts— has dealt with a forearmissue, the rest of the bullpen

has struggled to live up tolofty preseason expectations.Senior Trevor Kelley and

freshman Nick Raquet have been the lone bright spots, while veteran reliever ChrisMcCue has struggled to returnto form after a season-endinginjury last season, and juniorTrent Thornton has had strug-gles since being moved back

into the pen, as well.In addition to the bullpen

injuries and struggles, the TarHeels have had to deal withinjuries to senior righthanderBenton Moss and sophomore

shortstop Wood Myers.Moss missed several weeks with a right forearm strain, which led to some shufflingof the weekend starters, whileMyers broke his left fibula ina 13-2 loss to Coastal Carolinaon March 10.

While Moss is back on themound and has pitched wellsince his return (3-0 with15 strikeouts and just four

walks), Myers is expected to be out at least three to fivemore weeks as he recoversfrom surgery.

With Moss back and seem-ingly healthy, UNC has atleast two capable startersto go to with highly-touted

freshman J.B. Bukauskastransitioning to the collegegame seamlessly.

“He’s just got explosivestuff; he’s got so much poten-tial,” Moss said of Bukauskas’first collegiate start. “It’s awe-some just to watch him.”

On Monday, Bukauskas was 3-1 with a team-high eightstarts and a 2.66 ERA.

After Myers’ injury, fresh-man infielder Logan Warmothhas made the shift from third

base to shortstop, and hasthrived in the “new” role.

“I feel good at short. I’ve

played there my whole life,” Warmoth said after a 12-11midweek loss to Davidson.“At the beginning of the year,third was a change for me.So now it’s just going back tohome, really, at shortstop.”

Fox said that his team’sinfield defense — which

was one of his big gest con-cerns coming into the sea-son — has solidified since

Warmoth’s move to short-stop, and while losing Myers

bat at the top of the lineupcertainly hurts, other playershave stepped up offensively.

Most notably, junior catcherKorey Dunbar and walk-onfreshman Brian Miller. Miller

leads the team with a .379 bat-ting average while Dunbar is behind him with a .318 mark.

And after Fox talked abouthow junior center fielder SkyeBolt — arguably the team’smost talented player — need-ed to play better, he’s startedto improve in the box as well.

Legislature to look at budget this summer

By Kate GriseSenior Writer

Weeks after students haveleft UNC classrooms and putspring finals behind them,North Carolina lawmakers

will remain hard at workpassing some of the mostimportant state policies —including a budget that willfund the University.

The two-year state budget

is a long process that willinclude debates about educa -tion spending for both publicschools and universities, teach-er pay and business incentivespackages — and it will likely

be the main piece of legislationgrappled with this summer.

“Usually that doesn’t getpassed until down to the endof the session, which is tech-nically the end of June butusually rolls over into July,maybe even August,” saidCarter Wrenn, a conservativepolitical consultant.

The N.C. legislature mustpass a holistic budget thatencompasses many differentstate sectors, unlike the U.S.

Congress, which can tackleissues and policies individually.

“In the legislature here, it ’s

what is known as an omnibus bill — it’s got everything in itor what seems like everythingin it,” said Ferrel Guillory, aUNC journalism professorand director of the Programon Public Life. “Hundredsof decisions are made in the

budget, and it tends to comedown to the last minute.”

University funding has been a contentious area sincethe economic recession. Since2011, the UNC system haslost more than $500 millionin state funding — includinga $65 million cut in 2013.UNC-CH took a 5.5 percentcut of $28 million.

“It’s been cut pretty bad,and I know that there is a lotof feeling in the legislaturethat the university systemcould take some more cuts,”Gary Pearce, a liberal politi-cal consultant, said. “In turn,if the university system isperceived as being weak-ened, does that hurt NorthCarolina’s ability to attractpeople and jobs and business-es and new technology? That’s

where the big direct impact onstudents will come.”

The newly selectedmembers of the Board ofGovernors, which oversees theUNC system, will be swornin on July 1 at the beginning

of the fiscal year. Sixteen newmembers — half of the board— were elected this month by

the N.C. House and Senate.“Those are the people

who forced (UNC President)Tom Ross out. Those are thepeople who shut down (UNClaw professor) Gene Nichol’scenter. That’s who runs thesystem,” Pearce said of theBoard of Governors.

In his budget proposalreleased in March, Gov. PatMcCrory included an increasein pay for new teachers — simi-lar to increases in 2014.

New teacher pay wouldincrease to $35,000 a year,

which McCrory and otherRepublican leaders pledgedlast year to do. Wrenn said he

doesn’t think lawmakers willargue with that raise.

“It’s still an emphasis onincoming teachers and over-all not a very big pay raise— not enough to ratchet upteacher pay substantially,”Guillory said.

There are no increasesfor other state employees inMcCrory’s budget — includ-ing university employees,Guillory added.

The legislature will have tomake other decisions regard-ing environmental regulations,incentives and tax rates.

“Sometimes things just arisein the budget that you don’tknow about because it’s such a

big thing,” Guillory said.

Price feels the championship pressure

By C Jackson CowartStaff Writer

Caroline Price is haunted by her second-place trophy.

With the North Carolina women’s tennis team tied3-3 in the 2014 NCAAChampionship match, Pricefound herself in a winner-take-all battle with UCLA’sKyle McPhillips.

After falling down 5-3,Price fought off three champi-onship points and forced thematch to deuce seven times.But on McPhillip’s fourthmatch point, Price returneda volley just past the UCLA

baseline.

The consolation prize washers.“I wake up every morning,

I see it and I remember thathorrible feeling I had in mystomach of losing and beingso close,” said Price, now asenior. “It came down to mymatch.”

“I lost the national champi-onship for us.”

That devastating defeat was over 10 month ago — andUNC hasn’t lost since.

The No. 2 Tar Heels havecruised to a 23-0 recordthus far, punctuating an

undefeated indoors season with an ITA National IndoorChampionship — earningPrice Most OutstandingPlayer honors and netting theteam the top spot in the pollsfor six straight weeks.

But the team’s lone senior wants more.

“We aren’t satisfied,” saidPrice, the No. 18 player in thenation. “Yeah, we won nation-al indoors, and we (were)ranked No. 1, but we thinkthat we can still improve andget better.”

“There’s still so much more we want to prove.”

The Tar Heels returnfive of six singles starters —

including sophomores JamieLoeb and Hayley Carter,ranked 9th and 17th nation-ally — from a team that wona school-record 29 matches

before the title loss. And with the rest of the

team’s matches being playedoutdoors, where the Tar Heelsnaturally thrive, UNC could

be looking at another record-

breaking season.“We’re motivated and

excited to take this one stepfurther,” Coach Brian Kalbassaid.

“There’s nine girls on this

team, and they’re all going toneed to contribute to get to where we want to be.”

But for the six players onthe roster a year ago, the bit-ter taste of defeat can only besquelched with a champion-ship victory.

“We’re not done this year,”said junior Whitney Kay.“We’re not going to stop withthe Indoor win. We want to

win an ACC title and then anNCAA title.”

Kalbas knows that a high win total means nothing without hardware to accom-pany it.

“Last year we had a reallystrong finish to the year,

but we didn’t really accom-plish anything,” Kalbas said.“We didn’t win an ACCTournament title; we tied

with three other teams for theregular-season; we didn’t winan indoor title; we didn’t wina national title.”

“This team is very hungryfor more opportunities toprove themselves.”

Senior: Do what you love this summerCOLUMN

Henry GarganOpinion Editor

Chapel Hill can be alonely place in thesummer. I know this.

I’ve spent 21 of them here.

As a coll ege studen t longingfor the hustle and bustle ofcampus and nostalgic forhis high school friends whoreturn home in decreasingnumbers with each passingsummer, it would be easy todespair during these long,hot, quiet months.

But four summers ago,an amazing thing happenedthat gave me hope — hopethat summer in Chapel Hill

wouldn’t be as bad as all that. And it hasn’t been.

It was the June before I was set to start at UNC, andmy high school friends and I,enjoying our lives’ final periodof uninhibited irresponsibility,made plans to get together andthrow around a Frisbee. We didthis pretty much every day.

And as we always did, we headed to a nearby fieldthat’s precise location willgo unsaid for reasons that

will soon become apparent.Something was different thatday, though. From afar, wesaw two brightly colored,shapeless blobs lying near thecenter of the field.

Up close, we saw what we were dealing with: two deflat-ed bouncy houses, a generatorand five gallons of gasoline.

We looked at the assem- bled items and around atthe rest of the field. It wasdeserted and silent but for thehum of a nearby building’s air

conditioning unit. We looked back at the bouncy houses.

Finally, one of us got up thecourage to fill up the genera-

tor and start it up. It mighthave been me, but I’m not sureif grand theft bouncy househas a statute of limitations,so let’s assume it wasn’t. Theinflatables — one, a traditionalmoonbounce; the other, aTwister mat — roared to life,and we were in business.

For nearly two hours, thefour of us lived out an 8-year-old’s dream birthday party:Two bouncy houses to our-selves in the middle of a fieldand no lines, no parents, no

screaming toddlers to worryabout accidentally kicking inthe face. We dove after frisbeesonto the springy Twister mat

and did flips inside the castle.But like all inexplicablegood fortune, this too cameto an end. We looked up andsaw a van approaching fromthe distance — all we couldmake out were the words“party supply,” but we knewthe jig was up.

In full view of the van’sdriver, we put our shoes backon and walked away, the gen-erator still roaring and thecastle rippling slightly in the

wind. We were action heroes

walking away from an explo-sion. We didn’t look back.

We have our theories about what those bouncy houses

were doing in that field, but itdoesn’t matter, at least to me.I like to think they served thegrander purpose of teachingme that nowhere, even aftera childhood’s worth of sum-mers, will run out of ways tosurprise you.

If you find yourself in a rutthis summer, just keep doingthe things you love, and savorthe routine of it all. Maybe

you’ll be rewarded with a pairof bouncy houses yourself. I

wouldn’t be surprised.

Every summer, Carrboro ArtsCenter does a series ofcamps for young artists. From film and beat-making classesto writing and design work-shops, the ArtsCenter summercamps offer something forany kid looking to pursue anartistic dream.

Jamie Stuart, a staffwriter for The Daily Tar Heel,talked to Jesse Hollars, the youth education coordinator,about the unique purpose the ArtsCamp programs serve.

The Daily Tar Heel: How longhave the ArtsCenter summer

camps been running? Jesse Hollars: I’m not sure,

actually. I’ve only been therethree years, and it was defi-nitely running for five beforethen. So it’s definitely been a

while; I’m not exactly sure onthe number of years.

DTH: What do you think isso important about what youguys do? What do you guys

bring to the community?

JH: I think it’s a place forkids to get more art thanthey’re getting in schools. In alot of public schools, kids get to

go to art once a week — maybethey do some basic crafts intheir classes. Our camps allowthem to choose an art form likedigital technology or paintingtechniques or modern dance,and then they get to spend a

week working with a profes-sional artist on that. I thinkit kind of lets them exploreinterests they might not get toexplore in school.

DTH: What kind of kidsdoes it draw in? Kids fromany particular school or area?

JH: Most of the kids are

definitely from Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools, occa-sionally some from Durham,a few from Hillsborough anda few from private schoolslike Woods Charter and St.Thomas More and things likethat. But mostly from theChapel Hill-Carrboro area.

DTH: Which age group would you say has the highestturnout?

JH: Our Little Camperscamps are really popular;those are for rising kinder-garten and first graders. And

then ArtsFocus camps are forsecond through sixth grad-ers, so I would say definitelyelementary age.

DTH: What kind of arts do you offer? Is there a musicalaspect or mostly visual artand photography?

JH: A lot of it is visual artsand digital arts. We havesome dance — hip-hop danceis one of our most popularcamps. We’re doing con-temporary dance this year.

We have a good amount oftheater. Music is probably the

thing we have the least of.DTH: Are there any other

fun facts or anything wedidn’t get to talk about?

JH: I think it’s pretty coolthat all of our teaching artistsare actually working artiststhemselves and they’re alllocal. They all come from theChapel Hill area.

DTH: Do you have an idea ofhow many kids you guys draweach summer?

JH: Last summer we had840 individual kids. A lot ofthem come multiple weeks.
