In response to 2023’s tragic fatal shooting of UNC’s associate professor Zijie Yan, Students Demand Action at UNC met with the chancellor’s office to discuss campus safety and gun violence prevention.

It’s an almost-daily occurrence to stand in a line to get into Lenoir Dining Hall for lunch, where you will tirelessly scout out an open table, stand in another lengthy line to get food and then climb over chairs, bookbags and people to get to your seat. PLUS Swipe restaurants don’t act as a refuge with prolonged waits to get a box of food. At dinner time or after a sporting event, Chase Dining Hall consistently turns into a frenzied feeding ground. In both dining halls, promotional events like Ramsgiving or chef takeovers create the same crowded conditions.
The Carolina Dining Services’ Student Dining Board is tasked with making decisions about everything from the meals served at dining halls, to addressing food insecurity at UNC. Their role allows direct communication between students and dining staff.

Once a bustling rail town, Carrboro has redefined itself as a vibrant hub of culture and arts: a train station once full of commuters now seats diners, and former boxcars welcome people into what are now bars.

I’ve got a pretty big appetite. My roommate calls it a “big back” problem, but I just call it hunger. You’d think I’m lucky — there are plenty of options for food on and around campus; the issue is, they are all expensive.
On March 19, student advisors from the UNC Office of Student Conduct launched the Student Advocacy Network, an independent defense group aimed at providing more robust representation for students facing charges in the new staff-led Conduct Board System. The group hopes to work around the new system’s restrictions on student counsel.
Struggle meals — we know them well. The haute cuisine of the college student. Food combinations that would otherwise offend the senses, blaspheme the gastrophile. But, within the confines of a Davis Library corral, 2 a.m. during finals, these foods sustain us in our Sisyphean struggles toward that 4.0.
With the semester nearing its close by the day, some problems seem to matter much less than others. There’s the two-week-old laundry that’s been piling up, there’s that date you’ve been meaning to go on with that girl in your psychology class and there are those texts you haven’t answered from your friends and family in an attempt to completely lock in during these dire times.

Bread is a staple food in most diets: sweet or savory, sandwiched or toasted, it is guaranteed to be eaten frequently. But despite its simplicity in our minds, it is deceptively difficult to make and requires hours of heating, cooling and fermenting to get the desired flavor and variety.
