TO THE EDITOR:
I’m sorry to sound like a prude, but I thought the headline “@#it happens at UNC” was quite inappropriate. It’s one thing to spell out a cuss word in the body copy of an article, but using profanity on the cover was low class. It’s really indicative of how society continues to crawl deeper and deeper into the gutter.
The Daily Tar Heel should follow George Carlin’s list of “Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television” as a guideline.
Yes, times have changed, and our use of language has changed, but class is still class. The DTH and its editors showed very little class in letting that four letter word be front and center of my storied college newspaper.
