On the Friday Margaret Spellings was announced as the next UNC-system president, I was exhausted. I was running on four hours of sleep and hadn’t gotten a full night of rest all week. That week I’d worked several night shifts, dealt with some overwhelming anxiety attacks and turned in a slew of papers.

I am sitting in my car in Cobb parking deck while Harry walks into the Forbidden Forest to meet Voldemort. I can’t bring myself to pull my key out of the ignition and walk to the library.

The woman sitting next to me on the flight collapsed into her seat, exhausted. She slid her carry-on under the seat and introduced herself. We did the regular small talk: “Where are you from? Were you in Louisiana for business?” She slid into a story about the constant travel she does at her job as a pharmaceutical representative.

It’s a simple lesson taught in most introductory writing classes: “Show, don’t tell.” I remember my fifth grade teacher explaining it to us: If two characters are angry at each other, don’t write, “He was mad at her.” Describe cold glares or one character rolling her eyes at another.

I couldn’t keep my head in the classroom. By the end of each day I felt totally drained and anxious. Normally I’d sit near the front and attempt to answer en espanol. But for two weeks, I’d forget simple vocabulary when called on and barely finished my homework each night. I could tell my professor was confused by this change in my work.

You might have seen it amidst your start-of-the-semester emails. In between syllabuses and listserv emails is a message from the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs.

T itle IX is having a moment. The federal law, which prohibits gender-based discrimination in any school that receives federal funding, is no longer just thought of as the law that increased girls’ access to athletic programs.

P lease stop reading this column. Put down your newspaper now, close your laptop and go to your polling place. Fill out your ballot and feed it into the machine. I’m serious.

M en’s rights activists around campus have been distributing fliers filled with statistics on male victims of domestic violence. In theory, groups raising awareness about ways in which men experience interpersonal violence is a good idea.

O n Oct. 1, performance artist Taylor Mac took the stage at Memorial Hall. Just minutes in, I watched as students stood up and walked out of the performance. It wasn’t just rude; it was an indicator of homophobia and unhealthy ideas about masculinity still held by UNC students.
