TO THE EDITOR: This morning, 38 million children in Sub-Saharan Africa woke up with no school to attend. In Uganda, half of the population is less than 15 years old and only 54 percent of children will complete primary school. Does this sound OK to you? That’s why we’re Building Tomorrow. Building Tomorrow is an international social-profit organization encouraging philanthropy among young people by raising awareness and funds to build and support educational infrastructure projects for under-served children in sub-Saharan Africa. With your help, BT’s newest chapter here at UNC can reach its goal of raising $45,000 to build a primary school in Uganda.
TO THE EDITOR: I’m going to argue for a revision of UNC’s sexual harassment policy to be more intelligent, or at least spark some debate on it.

TO THE EDITOR: Why is there a shooting incident at the University of Texas and there is absolutely nothing about it on the front page of the DTH website? Are some kid’s air guitar ambitions more newsworthy than a large and prestigious American university dealing with yet another appalling on-campus act of senseless violence?

Correction (September 28, 10:29 p.m.): Due to an editing error in this letter the host organization’s name was incorrectly spelled. It is Latinas Promoviendo Comunidad/Lambda Pi Chi Sorority, Inc. The Daily Tar Heel apologizes for the error.
You’ve probably noticed stop signs posted around campus saying, “STOP. Tuition Ends Here.” No, tuition hasn’t magically disappeared, but we’re asking you to stop and think about just how far our tuition gets us here at UNC.
The class of 2014 is second to none! A university is nothing without its student body; therefore, calling its newest addition “second-best” is calling the entire institution “second-best.” That doesn’t sound like Tar Heel pride.
In one of the more misleading pieces I have read in the DTH, President Obama deceitfully defends his administration’s actions in supposedly supporting our students in the higher education system (“Supporting our students, strengthening our country,” Sept. 23).
Contrary to all the heavy campaigning, elections are about more than just supporting your favorite political party. While both McIntyre (“Vote Democrat and keep the country on right track,” Sept. 21) and Jones (“Single party rule is not productive, not wanted,” Sept. 22) make passing reference to the importance of researching candidates, their arguments boil down to party politics. According to McIntyre, it is crucial that we kick out the obstructionist Republicans, while according to Jones, it is crucial our Democratic President be checked by a Republican Congress. These arguments, whatever merit they may have, are both flawed. They both argue that voting should be based solely on the party, rather than the merits, of a candidate.
TO THE EDITOR: Zuhaib Mahmood’s letter “Column perpetuates idea of meaningless, trivial sex” (Sept. 23) criticizes an earlier column for cheapening sex and calls for the promotion of “real” sex.
TO THE EDITOR: Shame on the DTH for running Thursday’s Daily Dose about a drunk British man’s intentionally causing a hamster’s gruesome death. Like all Daily Doses, this was not a local story that had any bearing on the Chapel Hill community. Unlike other Daily Doses, however, this was not funny or amusingly quirky. The DTH could have — and should have — chosen to run a different story.
TO THE EDITOR: Thursday’s article, “Freshmen assimilation at center of rush issue for UNC Greek system,” highlighted the Board of Trustees’ redundant and unending debate concerning whether or not the University should force Greek organizations to recruit members only during the spring semester.
