Quick hits for Feb. 25, 2016

Final countdown

This is our last round of Quick Hits before Margaret Spellings takes office. The last time we will simply be students. Now we get to look forward to being unvalued customers without the ability to choose our leader or return to the old one. Rest assured, valued reader, we will not stop talking about this.

Sun on a cloudy day

During the apocalypse that almost erupted yesterday afternoon, we took cover in the Student Stores. While we feel we do not need to further justify why Student Stores should not be privatized, we will speak to the wonderful hospitality we received. They gave out free cookies! No private company would ever do that.

To pimp a milkshake

While The Daily Tar Heel article about North Carolina native Rapsody working with Kendrick Lamar was super cool, we are saddened by one fact: We want to go to Cook-Out with Kendrick too. Envy is wrong, but we can’t help it. So Kendrick, we will buy you as many milkshakes as you can eat if you will meet us there.

Just walk away

We would like to extend our gratitude to the students across all UNC campuses who planned the upcoming class walkout. This is the only kind of event where you get to protest a f*cked up situation and get to leave class at the same time. So to any one on the fence about walking out — join us and walk out.

Petty Pat

Gov. Pat McCrory promised retaliation if Charlotte approved LBGTQ nondiscrimination policies. Well, they did it (Thumbs up). Ball is in your court now, McCrory. We would suggest moving somewhere remote like Antarctica in protest,  but we suppose the gay penguins would bother you too much.

We ain’t mad

We always support college media, but we have to say, this year’s Daily Tar Hell was a bit disappointing — though we were glad to see its return. We have no problem with N.C. State’s newspaper making fun of us, but next time we would like to see them be sharper. Roundabouts ain’t really comedy gold.
