There is only one Eve Carson
Margaret Jablonski, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs
It is with a very sad heart that I write this column at the end of a tragic day in Chapel Hill. Over the course of 27 years of working in student affairs, I have had the privilege to get to know and (try to) advise and mentor many student leaders.
There was only one Eve Carson, however, and she touched me deeply.

Mixtape downloads keep hip hop fresh
I have two guilty pleasures.
One: I excessively check hip-hop Web sites.
I'm talking at least five times a day.
And two: I download mixtapes off these same Web sites.

CCL: A gateway drug
Chatham County Line is the type of band that appeals to a wide swath of music fans.

The band released its fourth LP, IV, this week and will give it a proper celebration Friday at Cat's Cradle. (0 Comments)

'Penelope' a charming tale
In the modern fairy tale, "Penelope," the title character - as countless princesses before her - must wait for a prince, or at least a blue-blooded heir, to agree to marry her so the horrible curse upon her can be lifted.

Malkmus meanders through frustrating LP
Stephen Malkmus doesn't want to be a hero.
"I am not a present to be opened up and parcelled out at will," he sings on "Gardenia," Real Emotional Trash's most unabashedly pop tune.
There is, of course, plenty of irony in Malkmus' self-characterization.
As leader of the now defunct, ever-influential band Pavement, Malkmus became just that to a lot of college music fans - back before "indie rock" became a catch-all for anything that falls between Top-40 radio's buttery fingers. (0 Comments)
CCL gives tradition a kick

Un mensaje de la editora: Crecimiento Latino beneficia a todos
Creo que lo que más asusta a las personas día tras día es el cambio.
Mientras que sea algo presente en nuestras vidas, muchas veces cambio no es tomado como algo positivo.
Claro que hay muchos cambios que nunca podrán ser buenos, como la muerte de un amigo, y otros que siempre significarán buenas noticias, como una boda. (0 Comments)
A message from the editor: Latin American growth benefits all
I think that what most scares people day in and day out is change.
While it's a constant in our lives in every way, it often isn't taken as something positive.
Of course there are a lot of changes that can never be good, such as the death of a close friend, and some that will always be good news, like a wedding. (0 Comments)
