DTH at a Glance: Thank Gawd it's Friday

This year's seniors are, arguably and substantiated-ly, the glorious bookend of an era of unrivaled greatness. We round out the "Next Greatest Generation," per a questionable TIME.com article. We're some of the last to first-hand remember the tragedies that shaped modern American culture, the struggle of not being able to use a landline and the internet at the same time, and "In The Zone"-era Britney Spears.

We're also the final class at UNC to have the old, absurdly late-in-the-semester drop period for classes. So until Oct. 18, we can give up on a course with no repercussion or responsibility whatsoever.

Y'all have fun with those "withdrawals" on your transcripts, little kids.

IN ACC PREVIEWS

UNC football kicks off this Saturday, and our sports writers killed it with their season preview. Read up on our likelihood of beating all 13 teams we'll face in the ACC. Get a good look at the Tar Heels' offense and defense for this year, and check out specific features on players like Mitch Trubisky and Elijah Hood. 

IN HB2 UPDATES

Even though a court just ruled UNC cannot enforce aspects of HB2, academics aren't hopeful about the University or state's national perception until the courts are finished deciding on the law.

IN OLD RIVALRIES

UNC dragged Georgia football 121 years ago, and they could do it again in Atlanta on Saturday. The first time these two schools faced off, it sparked an almost-forgotten rivalry that lasted, like, 50 years.

IN CAMPUS NEWS

If you've been wondering why you've been accosted approximately 12 times a day by people with clipboards, you might have walked by one of 68 campus voter registration events hosted across 18 college campuses by Hillary for North Carolina.
