Column: What am I doing with my life?

If there’s such thing as a mid-life crisis, then surely other smaller segments of life contain mid-crises.

Platform: Make The Daily Tar Heel earn your trust

Opinion Editor Tyler Fleming is the only candidate running to be the 2017-18 editor-in-chief of The Daily Tar Heel. He is a junior political science and history major from Randleman, and this is a short version of his platform.

Letter: ​Students should learn about UNC’s history

More than anything, some of the most divisive debates on this campus over the past few years have been about our school’s history — its buildings, people and monuments.

Letter: Let’s move forward with the transit plan

UNC students, faculty and staff know the importance of transit for getting easily and safely to campus — especially given limited parking.

Letter: We must support the Center for Civil Rights

The proposal under consideration by The Board of Governors’ Educational Policy committee to stop the Center for Civil Rights from litigating against state and other entities defies the mission of UNC-Chapel Hill.

Opinion: Trigger warnings limit trauma, not conversations

This board has mixed feelings about trigger warnings — some find them useful, some say they violate free speech. After some discussion, though, we think we agree on a couple of things.

Opinion: Support student radio, discover new music and tune in

WXYC turned 40 years old recently, which is a long time for a student organization to continuously operate.

Column: The Darth Vader Institute

We all know the southern part of heaven is in North Carolina — but what soft and wondrous summits rim the northern part? I think it must be in Sweden. 

Opinion: Stick to nukes, Rick

Imagine this: H.R. McMaster, current National Security Adviser and UNC graduate, pens a column in our beloved Daily Tar Heel. In this guest column, McMaster slams the Board of Elections for its continued meddling in the student body president election.

Opinion: A farewell to the 'father of rock 'n' roll

Column: What's up, I love my dog

Growing up as an anxious child made me both curious and scared of everything. Our family chihuahua, Lily, always seemed to know something that I didn't — that food and sleep were more valuable than money, that my parents deep down were caring people and that things were probably going to be OK. 

Opinion: Don't forget the International Transgender Day of Visibility

This Friday, take some time to recognize the International Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV). It's a day of the year designated to uplift our transgender loved ones and reflect on their place in our shifting society.

Letter: A college degree can provide opportunities

In response to the article “We generally love college, but not at this moment” published on Feb. 23, I think it is important to contextualize the author’s argument.

Letter: Local voting patterns have skewed left

I’ve done a deep dive into voting patterns of UNC students living on or near campus who are registered in Orange County, focusing on 1992-1996, and 2008-2016 presidential elections.

Letter: ​The U.S. should not be anti-immigrant

I express my support and views in response to the Feb. 3 column, “President Trump’s Muslim ban threatens our identity.”

Letter: ​Re: ​UNC fans ought to support ACC teams

In reference to a previous letter asserting UNC fans should've rooted for Duke.

Opinion: Protest videos don’t paint the complete picture

It’s no secret American culture has long been fascinated with youth and the university. And from Yale and Mizzou in 2015 to Berkeley this February and Middlebury just a few weeks ago, it’s clear we’re living in unrestful times to be on a college campus. 

Column: Now is the time to hold Elizabeth Adkins accountable

On Friday, Elizabeth Adkins was elected student body president of UNC. She is taking over an office that has been traditionally associated with white male recipients of the Morehead-Cain scholarship. 

Column: Politics isn’t like real estate

I’ll always remember one of my first poli sci classes at UNC when the professor asked us to define politics. Someone raised their hand and said in Latin “poli” means many and “ticks” are small bloodsucking termites. 

Opinion: An SBP for the people

Today marks the (hopeful) finale of maybe the most dramatic student body president race in UNC’s history. From the early disqualifications to the appeals to the violation complaints, this race will remain a blemish on student governance on this campus for a while. Before the end of March we expect to have a whole new cast of characters in the high-level offices of student government, but will anything actually change?
