Editorial: Go to your town's public libraries

|

"Public services exist as the name implies to serve the public, we should be focused on helping them help the most people, not making money or breaking even. If the library loses money, so what? It’s not a government-run bookstore. It’s a public repository of knowledge.  Go to the public library, and be glad it exists."

Editorial: Graduates should know about dignity of labor

"Every job pushes the world forward, whether it be direct or indirect. From the waiter who tames your hunger to the doctor who cares for your loved ones, our daily interactions with people of varying professions have a profound, but ignored, impact on our lives."

Editorial: A deep dive into the proposed Kenan-Flagler fee increase

Column: The guilts of being a first generation immigrant

Not everyone can solve for X, familiarize themselves with the anatomy of the human body or engineer software. But not everyone can analyze Shakespeare, do archival research or move a crowd with just their words either. You have been bestowed with skills that make you unique and have been placed exactly where you are meant to be.

Office DJ: Songs for a karaoke session

"Classics like Cẩm Vân’s 'Hà Nội Mùa Này Vắng Những Cơn Mưa' and Lệ Quyên’s 'Để Nhớ Một Thời Ta Đã Yêu' always warrant a rendition when they come on shuffle, according to my parents. loved ballads from the late 90s and early 2000s that made them nostalgic for the Vietnam they grew up in."

Editorial: There should be concerts at the Dean Dome

|

"Hosting concerts could be a way to gather throughout the year, as opposed to letting the building sit void of fans for months at a time. These concerts could be used to generate excitement and hold true to the legacy of the Dean Dome, as expanding events inside the arena may make it feel more accessible to those outside of the sports world."

Office DJ: Songs to listen to on a 1992 Walkman

"It’s no surprise to my friends that I’m going to be talking about cassettes in this article. Ever since I found my mom’s dusty Walkman sitting in an old box in the attic, I’ve been obsessed with recording music from my phone to magnetic tape so I can wear a clunky box on my hip and listen to music with questionable quality."

Column: Dynamic ticketing is a barrier to enjoying live music

"Ticketmaster paints their strategy of dynamic pricing and platinum ticketing as a practice that supports both fans and artists alike and protects them from villainous third-party sellers. But in actuality, it prioritizes revenue above all else — revenue that goes directly into the pockets of artists and Ticketmaster executives."
