Dogs are wearing costumes, Spanky’s is closing and people are campaigning for Congress on Tinder. Check out what else is going on during one of Chapel Hill’s most chaotic times of year:
QUICK HITS
- Is it a bunny or a beagle? The Hillsborough Police Department hosted the town’s fourth annual Easter Egg Hunt for Dogs on March 31, with a schedule that included a costume contest, K-9 training demonstration and an appearance from the mayor.
- “This is a business — we all love Spanky’s and we all hate to see it go, but as a business model it’s just not holding up anymore.” Spanky’s closed this weekend — so what’s the plan moving forward for one of Chapel Hill’s hottest locations?
- The UNC baseball squad proved they can win tight games on Friday, as they beat Wake Forest in 15 grueling innings and went on to complete the weekend sweep of their ACC foes.
MORE SPORTS!
- Speaking of close games: While the UNC women’s lacrosse team squeaked by Virginia Tech 13-12, the men’s lacrosse team fell to Duke 11-10.
- UNC junior and golf star Kelly Whaley’s expectations are through the roof. And she doesn’t just cope with them — she shatters them.
- “That kind of athleticism, those kind of tools, don’t get past the first round usually.” This football and baseball star is deciding between a six-figure MLB contract or honoring his commitment to the Tar Heels.
CAMPUS HAPPENINGS
- The Tar Heel faithful may be excited for Kenan Memorial Stadium’s addition of individual seats with chair backs and armrests — but where are those old aluminum bleachers going?
- Here’s a new way to ‘hang’ with friends: one UNC student has teamed up with Carolina Housing to set up an area for hammocks outside of Ehringhaus Residence Hall.
- Patrick Register, a UNC graduate, is running for a Congressional seat. His campaign strategy? Matching with constituents on Tinder.
