On his inauguration day, President Joe Biden signed an executive order to halt construction of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline, an $8 billion project routed from Alberta, Canada to the American Gulf Coast. This decision comes after an outcry from environmentalists concerned about increase of fossil fuel usage, as well as Native American tribes whose lands the pipeline would be built upon.
Orange County could see a drastic change to our area in the near future. The Texas-based convenience-store chain, Buc-ee’s, is planning to open its first North Carolina location in rural Efland — a 104-acre project that, if passed, would be the largest gas station in the world.
Last weekend, an individual broke into the Campus Y and committed an act of vandalism.

Many things are dear to a college student’s heart. For some, it’s the idyllic nature of a spring day relaxing on the quad. For others, it's the roar of a crowd at an athletic event.
The Daily Tar Heel and The Chronicle might be rivals, but we can agree on at least one thing: student journalists should be treated fairly.
Break is over, Valentine’s Day is approaching and cuffing season is well underway. And after months of social distancing and pandemic-induced isolation, many of us are feeling extra deprived of human connection. But with COVID-19 cases still on the rise, finding a companion to cuddle up with during the winter months is harder — and riskier — than ever before.
Editor’s note: This article is satire. Unfortunately, there is no rectal testing option for students. (And please don’t share swabs.)
This year, our resolutions are a little late. We’re sorry. Perhaps this could be excusable, considering the fact that the last 10 months have been shadowed by a devastating pandemic. Nonetheless, we figured it was still important to set some goals and prioritize before the year is underway.
CORRECTION: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that only one testing location was open to students during move-in. There were two locations open to students during move-in. Additionally, the University conducted on-site testing at seven residence halls. The Daily Tar Heel apologizes for these errors.
New semester, same irresponsibility.
If there’s one thing we’ve learned from 2020, it’s the limitations of our ability to accurately predict the future. Before this school year began, nobody could’ve foreseen that we’d be in the position we are right now (that is, except for literally everyone, including the many public health experts our beloved administration chose to ignore).
As the year approaches its close, the long-awaited Spotify Wrapped has finally made its debut. Whether you’re anxious to see just how bad your revisit to the "Hamilton" soundtrack really was or just excited to flex your results on your social media platform of choice, every Spotify user looks forward to the platform's annual release of listener data.
When December rolls around, there is cause for reflection. Another year over, full of experiences, memories and events that mark that time. We begin to think about resolutions and what we learned from the past year as we move onto the next.
Finals season is upon us — and given the already intense levels of stress we’ve endured this semester, this one is sure to be a doozy. To make matters worse, we won’t have any reading days to cushion the blow. (Thanks, UNC.)
In case you missed it, Joe Biden has been elected the 46th president of the United States.
The 2020 presidential election brought with it many historical milestones: a wave of once-red states turning blue for Joe Biden, the first woman of color elected to be vice president and record voter turnout. However, if there is one takeaway from this election, it is that white people must practice better allyship to communities of color, especially Black Americans.
The time has come for shopping carts to be filled, for professors to be scrutinized on Rate My Professors and for spreadsheets of the best courses at UNC to be shared on Twitter. It is, after all, registration season.
It’s so close we can taste it.
