TO THE EDITOR: Thank you for The Daily Tar Heel. It truly is Chapel Hill’s only newspaper these days. Your love letter to the P2P is well deserved. That we can afford to give free bus service is still a marvelous thing to me. I help pay for it by my taxes, even though I have used it only twice in my lifetime. The day may come. That’s an opinion, but not the main reason I write.
As a former editorial board member, I was taken aback by the recent "The Institute of Politics is more than just a 'resume booster." The piece is fluff, little more than an advertisement.
Almost every day we hear about a new tragedy in some corner of the world. While we hope a life-threatening event would never occur on our campus, we must always be prepared. Whether it is a tornado warning issued for Chapel Hill, a large fire rapidly spreading or someone intentionally trying to harm our community, Carolina is prepared to communicate those risks quickly and direct students, faculty and staff to take immediate action.
On Friday, the UNC Board of Governors imposed a policy banning the UNC Center for Civil Rights from engaging in advocacy for clients. The ban on the Center’s work prohibits the Center from representing clients in any capacity.
Is preemptive violence against hate speech justified? Last night I was walking to Franklin Street, and heard someone yell, “White Power!” from Silent Sam. I finished my trip, and then walked over to talk to the small group of people around the statue.

For our Labor Day edition and in light of recent events on campus concerning Silent Sam, we've dedicated most of our print edition for Sept. 4 to publishing the many letters we've received concerning the Confederate monument.

TO THE EDITOR: I have the good fortune of working near the winding path through the new Sam W. Hitt Medicinal Plant Gardens, located between the Koury building and the Health Sciences Library.
TO THE EDITOR: It’s time to take plastic bags out of supermarkets.
TO THE EDITOR: The new restrictions on student usage of the Anne Queen Faculty Commons in the Campus Y is a gross example of faculty elitism and privilege.
TO THE EDITOR: I am writing to urge you to cover the ongoing controversy about water fluoridation in Chapel HiIl via OWASA.
TO THE EDITOR: I, like many alumni, oppose the removal of the statue of Silent Sam from the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
TO THE EDITOR: William Sturkey (History) argued in a recent Letter to the Editor on Aug. 25 that restricting student access to Anne Queen Commons in the Campus Y was “a gross example of faculty elitism and privilege,” running counter to the recently-established “Guiding Principles” of the College. Indeed.
TO THE EDITOR: With the nation now focused on calls for the removal of confederate monuments including Silent Sam, it is critical for us to consider more pervasive forms of racism affecting our country and, more specifically, affecting our campus.
Today the University will be conducting our summer semester emergency sirens test between noon and 1 p.m.
In his letter outlining the ways in which Roy Williams has failed to live up to John Wooden’s life credo, Mr. James Harris demonstrated an incredible acuity: the ability to flawlessly count to six.
Steve Kirschner, our Director of Athletic Communications, yesterday admonished the Daily Tar Heel for publishing letters critical of Roy Williams. He argues that their actions “smear the reputation of the coach, program and university.”
I am writing in response to the editorial asking for ideas for better student seating.
