Get Your Tickets

Many students who applied for block seating were denied. They were then forced to wait in line with those students who didn't have 50 friends.

Tar Heel Quotables

"We are ready for anything, there is nothing they will find."

Animal Protection Society Executive Director Laura Walters

On an unexpected inspection of the Orange County Animal Shelter. Surprisingly enough, they found animals.

"We want to preserve the undergraduate teaching function."

Arts and Sciences Dean Risa Palm

On not eliminating class sections after registration. It's good to know undergrads will still be taught at UNC.

"If there were no game, students would be doing different things."

Provost Robert Shelton

On the scheduling conflicts between the football game and University Day. Things like going to University Day? Hahahahahahahaha!

"A lot of technique is involved in rowing."

Journalism Professor Jan Yopp

On the Carolina Master's Crew Club. Apparently rowing involves more than just putting your paddle in the water, taking it out and putting it back in again.
