DTH at a Glance: FD(TH)OC

Hey Heels, welcome back to campus for spring semester! Here's what you missed:


QUICK HITS

  • "Every shot I shot, I thought was going in. When you feel like that, I mean, it makes the game so much more fun." Luke Maye led the charge in last night's 96-66 victory against Boston College — he finished the game with 32 points and 18 rebounds, both career highs.
  • Joshua Daniel Edwards, 25, was indicted on all charges by an Orange County Grand Jury yesterday for the Nov. 2 fire at the Davie Poplar tree. He's been charged with six different felonies.
  • Orange County schools are facing a funding crisis due to proposed legislation that would reduce the size of elementary school classes. According to a spokesperson for Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools, the school system would need the equivalent of two elementary schools to provide enough classrooms for students.

LOVE AND BASKETBALL

  • By the end of the first half last night, the Tar Heels had already scored more points than in their entire 40-minute struggle against No. 8 Virginia on Saturday, and a change to the starting lineup is to blame.
  • Women's basketball got their first ACC win of the season against Pittsburgh on Sunday in a close game decided by one three-pointer.
  • COLUMN: For Eliza Filene's family, Carolina basketball is a religion — one that became especially important as her uncle battled leukemia. Read the life lessons she gleaned from  Dan and the Tar Heels here.

INTERNAL AFFAIRS

  • Erica Perel has been named The Daily Tar Heel's new general manager after serving as our newsroom advisor for nine years.
  • Former DTH advertising director Rebecca Dickenson has begun work as the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce's vice president of membership, where she'll oversee the chamber's relationship with its 1,200-plus members.
  • COLUMN: "Spring is a time of growth, and that is what you should expect from this semester’s The Daily Tar Heel." Editor-in-chief Tyler Fleming reflects on last semester and looks to the spring for our FDOC paper.
