Within the umbrella topic of American democracy and the catch words we use to understand it, "freedom of the press" is an extremely important idea: We hold the topic dear to our hearts.
In Chapel Hill, it seems that a right-wing conservative is afraid to come out of the closet.
With all of the discussion in the past few years on the frustrating parking situation at the University, one would think someone might have started responding. Instead, with a recently announced increase in the amount of parking fines this year, it seems student concerns are falling on deaf ears.
North Carolina 3is just plain not friendly2 to homosexuals.

Whether it be due to a shortage of funding, poor leadership or lack of vision, some programs are started with the best of intentions but never attain the greatness to which they aspire. The University Writing Course is one such example, and with the proposed changes documented in an April 25th Chronicle article, the program is removing itself even further from its goal.
Driving drunk is a deplorable crime-more so when it leads to the death of a human being. But is it as reprehensible as cold-blooded, first-degree murder?
It often takes a while to sort things out, particularly when it comes to legal matters. But after 25 years, people are still wondering exactly what Title IX entails.
