Quick hits for March 26, 2015

Multiple Directions


When One Direction named its latest album “FOUR,” no one knew the title was actually foreshadowing Wednesday’s catastrophic news. While Zayn Malik goes his own way, we’re left to wonder who will hit the high notes and gaze dangerously into cameras.  But Zayn, you still light up our world like nobody else.

Strong kick game


Tonight, the Tar Heels will don shoes that are less a departure from UNC’s usual fresh footware and more a simple statement of swagger: Each baby blue shoe features a pleasingly huge Rameses graphic. We hope they’ll make a win that much more enjoyable or a loss somewhat easier to stomach.  

Boycott the gown


UNC won’t let seniors leave without one last act of highway robbery — $90 for regalia they’ll never use again. This only works because parents, at their most sentimental, would justify any expense to give their children one last “real college experience.”  Don’t take advantage of our parents, UNC.  They’re nice. 

Carmichael Classic


Shout out to the women’s basketball team for its buzzer-beating victory against Ohio State on Monday night in Carmichael Arena. We’re hoping that electric atmosphere of a home NCAA game will grow the team’s fan base and encourage folks to consider hosting a mens’ game at Carmichael one day. 

Board of  Wusstees

The Board of Trustees failed to make a decision about the renaming of Saunders Hall on Wednesday, even after some awesome speeches from students. Our theory is that whatever decision the BOT makes will happen this summer when no one’s on campus and senior activists have left.  Prove us wrong, please. 

Welcome back, PJ


Alert Carolina! PJ Hairston is back on Twitter as of a week ago. His tweets so far contain nearly as many emojis as letters, which is probably for the best. But we’re actually looking forward to the privilege of enjoying his social media hijinks now that we’re no longer sharing a campus with him. Watch out, Crown Town.
