TO THE EDITOR:
The Chicago Cubs’ victory in the 112th World Series was refreshing to watch. Historic underdogs, even if they weren’t this year, finally had their time to make baseball history.
THE ISSUE: The Unsung Founders Memorial in McCorkle Place recognizes the enslaved people who built UNC. Over the years, people eating or changing their child’s diaper on the statue have attracted controversy. These viewpoints debate what the memorial’s purpose should be. You can read the other viewpoint here.
As promised in our column, here are our endorsements as they would appear on the ballot. If you want some sort of reminder of who we endorsed, feel free to print this and take it into the polls. While we're endorsing only Democrats, the oppositional party candidates were earnestly and openly looked into. Being a Democrat did not guarantee any endorsement. Call us partisan if you want, but statistically, most people vote along party lines even if they identify as independent.
Today The Daily Tar Heel Editorial Board presents the first installment of our endorsements for the 2016 elections. Next week we will publish more endorsements and release an Orange County sample ballot to show you our choices visually.
THE ISSUE: It’s October — the spooky month — and the editorial board was feeling the spirit of the season. Horror movies are always divisive, leading to arguments among friends during movie night.

FROM AN EDITOR:
When we arrived at the Cone Denim Entertainment Center in downtown Greensboro on a rainy Tuesday afternoon for a Foals concert, we were a little confused. We saw the typical people you expect at concerts — the frat bros who are attending the “most indy concert ever,” the cool parents that are having a few blissful moments away from their kids screaming to hear some other parent’s teenagers scream, and then there was us — two reporters trying to figure out where to pick up our tickets.
This year has been a very good one for me. It would be easiest for me to write a farewell on all the good I accomplished this year, the fun times I’ve had with friends or the stellar experiences I’ve had serving as the assistant opinion editor for The Daily Tar Heel.
This past weekend I was in my friend Becca’s car on our way to lunch. I mentioned I was writing a column on the deep appreciation I have for UNC’s own Ackland Art Museum. After hearing this, my friend said she had never been to the Ackland. I responded in bewilderment. Why would someone not go to Ackland?
Growing up, I felt separated from everyone. I was a little kid with horrible handwriting, colorblindness and a love for reading. Needless to say, I was a pretty easy target for other kids to ridicule.
Rafah is a city on the southern end of the Gaza Strip, right on the border with Egypt. In 1956, the Israeli military killed 111 innocent civilians in its conquest of the region.
As a military veteran, the founder of UNC-Chapel Hill, William Davie, would be especially proud of the University today.
Oh, the places you’ll go — a phrase that is sometimes synonymous with graduating is now on the minds of many seniors leaving Chapel Hill.
In the spring of 1928, James Webb had just finished his senior year at UNC, earning a degree in education, but Webb never became a teacher.
The student becomes the professor this Saturday.
With the presidency of the Black Student Movement in hand, Jeremy Mckellar plans to utilize the group’s meeting space to give its members more assistance.
