Farewell Column: Thank you, Olivia Pope

By Zaynab Nasif | April 19

If we can all live life as ferociously and justly as Olivia Pope, that might make all of us the gladiators the world needs.

Farewell Column: The DTH needs to support POC

By Ana Irizarry | April 19

When the DTH turns 150 years old, and I’m back in Chapel Hill to celebrate, I want to read more archives with bylines such as Lopez, Gutierrez or Rodriguez.

Farewell Column: I love the DTH, but do better

By Leah Asmelash | April 19

The DTH has a race problem. This isn’t exclusive to the DTH — it plagues both college and professional newsrooms across the country.

Perry Carter (True Thompson) and James Scalise (Stormi Webster) are the writers of UNC’s premier (only!) satirical advice column. Results may vary.

Editorial: The Gilded Now

April 17

The first Gilded Age was a time of technological, social and cultural transition which only came to its close with the crisis of WWI and the devastation of the Great Depression. Twain is oftentimes (probably mis-) attributed with saying that history doesn’t repeat itself, but it definitely rhymes.

Letter: 2-step-verification for email access is classist

April 17

Until the University is prepared to provide and fund texting plans to all students, the idea of requiring us to have phones on hand to use even library computers to check our emails is unreasonable and classist.

Column: Bookshop cat, where you at? I miss you.

By Annie Kiyonaga | April 17

Without The Bookshop's quirky, convenient offerings, the immediate Chapel Hill area (for students without transportation) has become a literary desert of sorts. We need a good, local, independent bookstore. These kinds of bookstores are good for all aspects of a literary community: author, consumer and larger town or community — and they imbue towns like Chapel Hill with literary character.

Viewpoint: How much do we honestly care about privacy?

By Drake Buxton | April 16

As social media grows and becomes more popular, many Americans have found themselves caught in a “Privacy Paradox.” While consumers are increasingly willing to share personal information in order to use social media for no fee, paradoxically they are more and more concerned with privacy.

Letter: Lessons from Palestine on Police Militarization

April 16

SJP was particularly interested in attending this specific session when we heard of a resolution presented by the Durham2Palestine coalition, which demanded that Durham City Council immediately adopt a resolution halting any police exchanges or police trainings with Israel. The public had the chance to hear from both proponents and opponents of the resolution.

Column: A shadow over Ashur

April 15

The American government doesn’t care about the Syrian people — if it did, it would be implementing programs to help refugees instead of bombing their home country.

Farewell Column: Kiana Cole

April 15

 I plan to tell stories for the rest of my life, just like I’ve done at The Daily Tar Heel for the last four years.

Farewell Column: Tradition is the democracy of the dead

By Alec Dent | April 15

I know nothing. And to no fault of yours, neither do you. And that is okay, though this mentality has everything to do with democracy. 

---

Editorial: Thank you, CUAB

April 15

CUAB activities can be hit-or-miss. But this year, the programs offered have been hitting what students want right on the nail.

Editorial: Young people are changing national discourse. We should hear them out.

April 12

How do we critically acknowledge the views of teenagers who have valid experiences but can't vote yet?

---

Column: Mascots shouldn't be racist

By Cameron Jernigan | April 12

I’m excited to be a Florida State grad student, but I’m not excited to be a Seminole.

Op-ed: Affordable housing requires embracing development

April 12

The displacement of the Lakeview residents is a sobering reminder that we have not done enough to provide and protect affordable housing. But the County’s response is a model for practical and effective change.
