The Daily Tar Heel

TO THE EDITOR:

This fall, The Daily Tar Heel has put a lot of energy into updating us on scandals involving UNC students.

Four students’ mug shots were on the front page last Thursday (“Five arrested on cocaine charges,” Sept. 17) along with obscure details of each person involved.

So where is Raymond Cook’s mug shot?

Cook was a member of UNC faculty until Sept. 11, when he was charged with the death of Elena Shapiro while driving drunk. This story is of interest to anyone associated with UNC, yet we’ve been given very few details about Cook.

Thanks to the DTH, we know that Julianne Howard is in a sorority, but not that Cook, who was charged with a DWI on Sept. 11, has previously had run ins with the law over drinking and driving.
