TO THE EDITOR:
I was very disappointed that The Daily Tar Heel chose to run a lead story on the front page Tuesday about middle class families choosing to build environmentally friendly “green” houses (“Support for green homes grows,” Dec. 1).
While I understand the importance of environmentally friendly building, Tuesday was World AIDS Day, when we take time to remember all of those suffering from this terrible pandemic.
Surely the staff at the DTH could have run some kind of front page story on the events that were happening all through campus on Tuesday to help prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS and remember those that have died or are suffering from HIV/AIDS. Finally, whose idea was it to run a green story on the same day we play Michigan State?
Get with it, DTH.
