Rowe and Stepney for Homecoming Royalty

Rowe and Stepney’s commitment to service and the feasibility of their new ideas make them the right choices

November 2, 2009

For Homecoming king, Desmond Rowe is the clear choice.

Rowe’s experience as co-chairman of Carolina Fever and as a member of UNC Dance Marathon and Carolina Kickoff gives him a diverse sense of service that he brings to this year’s race.

His proposed relief project for the parents and siblings of patients at N.C. Children’s Hospital would help parents and siblings get out of the stressful hospital scene.

The program, Caring and Active Relief Through Athletics and Community, would include a wide range of activities, from bowling and laser tag to tickets to UNC sporting events.

Rowe’s experience and dedication to service makes him a strong candidate for Homecoming king.

Krista Stepney is our pick for Homecoming queen.

Her service proposal stems from her experience working with children at after-school centers around Chapel Hill.

Education Toolbox for Kids seeks to donate items to fill four needs fundamental to children: education, recreation, health and well-being.

We are impressed by Stepney’s hands-on approach that will focus on getting out into the community to develop this project.

She is president of the Theta Pi chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. and Miss Black Student Movement.

For all of her dedication, she gets our vote.

Comment removal?

I can't help but wonder why my comment was removed. I objected to the fact that as a publicly funded university paper you chose to endorse candidates. What are you thinking? And why do you feel so comfortable removing comments that object to your poor judgment? Any of you in journalism school? It would seem not..
