Thirty Two Hours.

On Feb. 26, 2022, the elevator in Koury Residence Hall stopped working. This left Eleanor Bolton and Laura Saavedra Forero, UNC students who use wheelchairs, stuck in the hall for 32 hours. So, on Thursday, Campus Y Co-Presidents Saavedra Forrero and Megan Murphy sat out on the steps of the South Building for 32 hours to protest for a more accessible campus and community. Co-Photo Editors Kennedy Cox and Samantha Lewis, and Staff Photographer Heather Diehl, joined them periodically over these 32 hours to help capture this demonstration. Graphic by Carson Elm-Picard.

Orange County hosts Veterans Day Celebration

On Nov. 11, the Town of Chapel Hill hosted the Orange County Veterans Day Celebration to honor veterans who have served in the United States military. The event took place at the Southern Human Services Campus and was free and open to the public.  “Millions have served...they were key and essential to the formation of service forces that enabled the United States of America to defend and protect our citizens and interests,” Retired Master Chief Petty Officer in the U.S. Navy, Lee Heavlin, said in an email. “Many never made it home. Maybe that fact bears hard on all veterans and motivates us to get involved, help others and become active in our communities.”
