TO THE EDITOR:
Over the past four years I have always been one to defend The Daily Tar Heel in their reporting as many of my friends have always felt that the happenings in the black community are vastly under reported.
It was only to my dismay that I picked up the paper Monday morning to find out that there was no mention of this year’s step show.
Granted there was not much written about Homecoming (not even a mention of Mr. and Miss UNC — another injustice to people in my class), but to me, this year’s step show deserved some coverage.
Not only did an organization reach a milestone of winning the title 10 years in a row, but practically an entire performance was dedicated to Faith Hedgepeth.
I’m wondering if there was even a reporter sent to the step show, but I guess men’s basketball deserves all of our attention.
Three different articles in a weekend of obvious wins against no-name opponents for men’s basketball is two articles too many. I appreciate the success of our athletic program as much as the next Tar Heel, but there is more to be aware of and informed about at UNC than Roy’s Boys.
