To the kid in my geography class: Stop watching turtle porn!
To the guy reading “Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life” while drinking a PBR at noon on the seventh floor of Davis: The world will never understand you.
To the couple in the sixth floor Davis study room: That was some pretty naked studying.
From Nash Keune’s narwhal castle to recent contested elections, it is obvious to most that student government needs change. The other day, I stumbled across the article about how several members of Student Congress want to change campus elections (“Runoff elections could be discarded,” March 3). I asked myself: Is this the kind of change we want?
On behalf of the Carolina Experience Enrichment Scholarship, we would like to announce a new source of funding for undergraduate and graduate students eager to leave their mark on the world: CEES Fellowships and Grants.
In response to Wednesday’s article in The Daily Tar Heel, “Runoff elections could be discarded,” (March 3), I thoroughly disagree with the measure now being considered in Student Congress. The decision to eliminate runoff elections would not only reduce the competitive spirit of elections, but it would also fail to uphold the democratic principle of majority rule.
Last night, six seniors played their final home games as members of the men’s basketball team. The pre- and post-game ceremonies were classy and emotional. The team showed passion and grit, bringing the seniors a much-deserved winning send-off and the program its historic 2,000th victory. Yet many students silently mocked the entire affair.
I’m not typically one to defend others, especially The Daily Tar Heel, but Chase McDonough seems to have missed several points in his own letter to the editor published Wednesday, “Article on Horowitz didn’t capture nature of speech”.
In 30 seconds I can tie my shoe, sing Yankee Doodle or cross the intersection on Manning Drive. I cannot, however, explain to Student Congress why my organization should receive more funding than what was allocated by the finance committee. For Student Congress to allow organizations such a short period of time to present their appeals is unrealistic and patronizing.
