Quick hits for Oct. 13, 2016

UNC's birth month

UNC deserves more than a mere day for its birthday. We submit that we deem October “University Month.” All classes will be canceled, and we will spend the entire time celebrating the school and its accomplishments: first public school, best value and best at dodging cheating scandals. Go Heels, happy b-day.


Fall Break = freedom

For those of us who have trudged through sleepless nights of typing and studying, this upcoming break goes out to you! Fall break is like the appetizer to Thanksgiving break. It gives us just enough of a taste of sweet vacation to crave more. Go home, get some sweaters and sleep, and come back rejuvenated.


Freedom for all?

Religious freedom does not mean freedom for your religion. Argue about the Supreme Court all you want, but some are backing a candidate who openly wants to ban a major religion while claiming to defend religious liberty. They probably even think this quick hit is about Hilary Clinton (hint: it’s not).


Late Night with Roy

The pivotal pep rally for the men’s basketball team, Late Night with Roy, is fast approaching. It’ll be a great event with friends and sports all around. A few suggestions from our team: Speed-dating with Roy (a nice candlelit dinner with our fav coach) and Late Night with Roy Cooper (like a talk-show but edgier).


Trendy misogyny

Trump supporters have made #repealthe19th a trending hashtag on social media. According to polls from FiveThirtyEight, Clinton would win if only women were allowed to vote. But none of her supporters are calling to revoke men’s right to vote. Maybe because women had to fight for their right?

Kenneth! Ken-Ken the Bone-man! Sure, your question wasn’t exactly hard-hitting. Sure, you walked into the town hall leaning more toward Trump. But dang, you won us over with a sincere smile that was so refreshing amidst a quite uncivil debate. The flash of your disposable camera will live on forever in our hearts.
