Editorial: In N.C. politics, the glass is half-empty and so is the House
"Never has it been more apparent that North Carolinians deserve better than these representatives who, though skilled in deceit and self-preservation, betray the basic ethics underpinning functional democracies."
Editorial: Welcome to the Crowded Table
This album is not easy listening like most country music. It’s not about drinking beer with your friends or girls in short shorts. This is protest music — protesting the death of these women and women being silenced.
Column: Stripped: Sex is everywhere
The way we talk about sex and sexuality is both a byproduct of our society and a tool that can be used to shape that same social structure.
Guest column: Thoughts from beneath the tarp
"Wait, have I been ghosted? I don’t know what to do. Should I text them? Or would that seem too clingy?"
Editorial: UNC police chief must listen
"Perry must actively listen to and learn from student leaders from every corner of the University."
Obituary: Eno the emu
Eno ran so we, too, could run. And boy, could Eno run!
Column: The odd traditions of the Nacirema: football
"The Naciremanian tradition of football is long-standing and important to the various tribes. In many senses, this ceremony forms the foundation of their communities' public social exchanges."
Letter: What's in a name
"We proudly wear this new name. " Dean Susan King speaks to the renaming of the UNC Hussman School of Journalism and Media.
Column: Welp: Sam Howell, chancellor?
"I’m no expert when it comes to administrators of institutions of higher education, but what’s not to like about Chancellor Sam True First-Year Quarterback Howell?"
Editorial: A meaningful ballot
We love North Carolina. We are proud to go to school here. Moreover, we love having our voices heard and our votes matter — thankfully, this is becoming a possibility.
Editorial: Will the real conservatives please stand up?
Politics is about finding solutions that satisfy as many people as possible. Only through an open debate will we learn what those are. Let’s create a school of not just diversity of gender, race and sexuality, but also of political views.
Editorial: A thank you
UNC is full of students, professors and faculty members who have served, are serving or will serve in the military. We owe them a thank you for their service.
Remembering 9/11
Instilled in our hearts is an undying American spirit, based on a love for and commitment to our citizens and our country. Of the people, by the people, for the people. That’s our light at the end of the tunnel. That’s what we choose to believe in. That’s what we hope you carry with you, today and on all days.
Letter: Tar Heel dead
I wasn’t a Tar Heel born, I wasn’t a Tar Heel bred, but with Mack Brown as your coach, I will also be a Tar Heel until I’m dead!
Letter to the editor: The Q word
"I agree completely with your point that I have no right to use the N-word (nor would I ever choose to)."
Letter: One step at a time
"My hope is that this race will not only spread the word about our wonderful group on campus at UNC, but will allow people to see us as we are — students of medicine, engineering, law, social work, etc. — taking life one step (or stride) at a time, just like everyone else."
COLUMN: Unapologetically loving "Lover"
"I will admit there are a couple of songs on her latest album that I am not a fan of, but this is insignificant in comparison to my respect for Taylor Swift as an artist. Not every beat or lyric will resonate with each listener, but love and its butterfly effects is a theme to rally behind; a unifier not just for 'Swifties,' but for everyone trying to find a place in this world."
