DTH at a Glance: Mobile homes, Music on the Porch and a millennial politician

Happy Thursday and National Goof Off Day, UNC! Before pranking your roommate, check out the morning news:


QUICK HITS 

  • There’s no room at the inn for mobile home residents in Orange County. Homestead mobile home park is forcing residents to relocate, and Lakeview mobile home park is projected to be converted into a luxury apartment complex.
  • In the mood to hear the sounds of the South, live? Turn up to Music on the Porch tonight to hear two of the world's best banjoists — for free. 
  • It’s that time of the year again — you know, when students raise $200 to go 24 hours without sleeping or sitting! The famed Dance Marathon, led by Carolina for the Kids to benefit families of patients at UNC Children’s Hospital, is celebrating its 20th anniversary this weekend.

A CLASSY AFFAIR

  • Whether you’re the freeloader or leader, you probably agree that work is rarely distributed evenly in group projects — and many UNC students agree, saying that the format doesn't work at universities.
  • Thinking about taking an online class? Think again — a 2015 study found evidence that online instructors are 94 percent more likely to answer posts from white male students than any other students. 
  • “I think one of the real special treats of Bob Peet is going out in the woods, going out in the field with him, and learning all his knowledge." Professor Robert Peet is retiring after 43 years at UNC. He is leaving behind a major legacy within the University’s studies of botany and biology. 

CITY AND STATE

  • Staff writer Rachel McKinney talked to Matt Hughes, a recently appointed member of the Hillsborough Board of Commissioners, about his experience as a millennial politician and plans for the future. 
  • REVIEW: Are you soy into Chinese food? Take a wok past CVS to Shanghai Dumpling to eat noodles, dumplings and rice that might leave you wanting a wonton more. 
  • In a field dominated by men, Ingrid Wicker McCree is a “total stud” as the athletic director at North Carolina Central University. She spoke at the Chapel Hill Sports Club's Wednesday meeting about being a leading woman in athletic administration.
