#STATEment

We usually give N.C. State down thumbs, but this one is special. We always knew they were awful at basketball, but the most recent UNC-N.C. State game proves it once and for all. Really, it makes sense. The school’s motto is “Think and Do.” When you go so long knowing you are losers, it affects your performance.

Student Union? More like student disunion, amiright? Looks like student government is now separated. Good riddance. The fight for separation ended in a way fitting the way it was fought.

The Daily Tar Worker was disappointed to see it was not invited to the Donald Trump press conference. If the president-elect is so worried about fake news spreading, he needs The Tar Worker. It has never actually published a real story. Our Marxist truth will revolutionize the country.
