Letter: How can UNC honor what it forbids?
On Tuesday afternoon, I attended the Diversity Awards at the Pleasants Room in Wilson Library.
LETTERS
Letter: The NCAA needs to pay athletes
Is there integrity there when some of the student-athletes on the court are playing the game of their life while not even seeing one penny?
Letter: Restore sanity to U.S. foreign policy
President Trump has signaled that he may launch a unilateral attack on Syria, overthrowing yet another secular Middle East government.
Letter: Tears of sorrow became tears of joy
In Dean Smith’s vision for players on the court to have one heartbeat, a special group of individuals created beauty from a memory that once made us weep.
Letter: Art makes us, and the campus, better
With lovely spring weather upon us, it’s hard to imagine UNC’s campus appearing any more beautiful.
Letter: The big game was a hair-raiser
This letter publicly concludes UNC Walk for Health’s successful “Let the Fro Grow” campaign in support of North Carolina star players Joel Berry, Isaiah Hicks and Justin Jackson and their sculptured afro dreadlocks hairstyles.
Letter: Championship came full circle
Back in the spring of 1993, I was 16 years old, and my parents let me borrow their car so I could drive from Durham to Chapel Hill to watch the national championship game between UNC and Michigan being shown on a big screen in Carmichael Arena.
Letter: N.C. voter ID laws could hurt students
In an article published by the (Raleigh) News & Observer on Dec. 31, 2016, former North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory discussed his loss in the recent election, saying, “I think the real impact was [sic] in the Supreme Court decision to disallow us from having voter ID, which allowed a lot of college students who live out of state to vote.”
Letter: NCAA champs: Bless them Tar Heel boys
Tonight, on both sides of the court, never have so many played and coached so toughly for so long.
Letter: Write about eating disorders with care
We would like to commend The Daily Tar Heel for its coverage of eating disorders (EDs) in wrestlers from Friday’s paper.
Letter: Don’t literally give everybody money
In “Give Everyone Money,” Claude Wilson makes a claim at the end of his column that is a lot more dangerous than it seems.
Letter: HB2’s repeal was a mess — Go Heels!
The partial repeal of House Bill 2 is disappointing, but ultimately not surprising. It’s only a partial victory for North Carolina.
Letter: DTH should give José Valle a shot at EIC
Last weekend, the DTH’s board of directors disqualified José Valle from running for editor-in-chief. He had accidentally submitted the wrong file for his budget proposal, which is a new requirement for EIC candidates this year.
Letter: UNC night parking fee prioritizes profit
In response to “Night parking fee raises concern for some employees” by Leah Asmelash, I agree that night parking fees could be problematic for a large community of people.
Letter: ‘One Day’ by Duke’s Grayson Allen
I look at my watch. 4 p.m. Time for practice. Well, it would be time for practice. Damn.
Letter: Students should learn about UNC’s history
More than anything, some of the most divisive debates on this campus over the past few years have been about our school’s history — its buildings, people and monuments.
Letter: Let’s move forward with the transit plan
UNC students, faculty and staff know the importance of transit for getting easily and safely to campus — especially given limited parking.
Letter: We must support the Center for Civil Rights
The proposal under consideration by The Board of Governors’ Educational Policy committee to stop the Center for Civil Rights from litigating against state and other entities defies the mission of UNC-Chapel Hill.
Letter: A college degree can provide opportunities
In response to the article “We generally love college, but not at this moment” published on Feb. 23, I think it is important to contextualize the author’s argument.
Letter: Local voting patterns have skewed left
I’ve done a deep dive into voting patterns of UNC students living on or near campus who are registered in Orange County, focusing on 1992-1996, and 2008-2016 presidential elections.
