DTH at a Glance: The GOAT

Happy Tuesday, everyone! If you're like me, you'll be reading this half-awake after finishing your homework from the long weekend in a 3 a.m. daze. If you're not like me, good for you! Please teach me the value of time management.

If you are any level of like or unlike me and applied for The Daily Tar Heel, please come to our office to see if you made it onto staff! We made posters and they're really cute — almost as cute as the BABY GOATS one of our editors got to hang out with at goat yoga. 

Here's the news:

QUICK HITS

• We've received over 100 letters to the editor regarding Silent Sam in the three weeks since the fall semester started.
