Down with dorms

We at The Daily Tar Worker reject all efforts to improve on campus housing. What students need is assimilation. We submit to whomever has control over this to tear down all dorms and build barracks. Just rows of tents, with one safe box to store your government-provided laptop and burlap UNC hoodie.


Stomp 'em out

Thank you to the 4th Circuit Court for knocking down the Voter ID laws in North Carolina. This is a great step toward ensuring voter equity. Now, unfortunately, party hacks and bigots, like cockroaches, will scurry away from the light to every dark corner of the state’s laws and geography possible. Chase on.


RIP Harambe

The University of North Carolina school system has a zoology program. We demand Margaret Spellings strongly and publicly condemn the shooting of Harambe. We must let the world know that UNC will not tolerate this kind of zookeeping. Spellings, please, do not let us down on this. #RIPHARAMBE


Make it strange

Not much on popular, mainstream media brings us joy, but we were overwhelmingly happy to learn Stranger Things is coming back for its second season. We think Eleven and the Demogorgan melded into one, kind of like something from Harry Potter. The characters must go on an epic quest to bring her fully back.


Thieves in the night

The Rosemary Lot added an automatic agent machine to collect parking fees. While we were initially meh, we pine thinking about how we can no longer wait out the inevitably tiring humans in the booth to sneak out the lot like thieves into the wee hours of the night. Also, it sucks someone is probably losing their job.

Falling down

We want fall weather, but we do not want the increased workload that comes with school progressing. While the semester just started, we are already anticipating the worst: Long nights in Davis Library, looking at all the happy dogs pass outside our window. It is the best of times and the worst of times.
