In response to “UNC trying to quit coal,” (Aug. 27) I am overjoyed by the earnestness of Chancellor Thorp and the University’s Energy Task Force to lead UNC to a coal-free future by 2020.
The speed with which the public forgets disasters is evident in the wake of recent tragedies such as the earthquake in Haiti.
We all knew exactly what would happen when Butch came to town — the good ole boys wanted to run around like they’re still fraternity pledges, hoot and holler and get out of suburbia for an afternoon while having an excuse to get drunk and ogle the undergraduate set for a few hours.

UNC juniors and seniors will remember the Ramshead Rathskeller, which closed two years ago. The “Rat” is among my fondest memories of Chapel Hill. When I came to UNC in September 1948, I frequently went to Danziger’s Vienna Coffee Shop on Franklin Street, which was also a candy shop.
