By: Chase McDonough The Daily Tar Heel’s coverage of abortion is home to their arguably worst and most biased reporting. Beyond simply Pro-Choice, the DTH has adopted radically Pro-Abortion stances that would seem to place everything, even the health of the mother, behind the supposed panacea found in abortion. Even more outrageously, this coverage comes [...]
By: Sarah Bowman There are words that hold special levels of meaning and importance. You cannot use “stuff” the same way you use “rights;” you cannot use “good” to properly convey “honorable”. Unfortunately in our society of social and mass media, we are bombarded with the misuse of words every day. It is essential words [...]
By: Sean O’Donnell Peter McClelland’s article urging conservatives to reject the upcoming marriage amendment (Carolina Review, 01/29/2012) presents an honest, but incomplete, attempt to invoke the banner of individual liberty. His argument falls short because it overlooks the fundamentals of our laws and history. The author warns that the amendment “may seriously violate the federal [...]
By: Brendon Madigan I evidently struck a nerve with the liberals calling the shots at The Daily Tar Heel (DTH) with my letter to the editor entitled “Savage’s ‘filthy’ dialogue does not belong at UNC.” I argued that the University should not allow $18,500 of student fees to be used to bring a speaker to [...]
By: David Ortiz Without a doubt, the most callous treatment of human sexuality at this university is produced by third year medical student and DTH columnist, Perry Tsai.

By: Marc Seelinger ASG Must Change to Become a Viable Organization For over forty years, the Association of Student Governments (ASG) has purported to represent the needs and interests of students to the UNC General Administration, the UNC Board of Governors, and the North Carolina General Assembly. Ironically, the same students who are supposedly represented [...]
By: Anthony Dent On Friday, January 27th, I received notice of a meeting to review the university’s nondiscrimination policy as it relates to belief-based organizations (e.g., Young Democrats, Carolina Review, or InterVarsity). This committee was called after university administrators ruled that Psalm 100, a Christian a cappella group, did not violate the current nondiscrimination policy when they voted [...]
By: Matt Oakes A lively debate pitting well-known UNC-Chapel Hill professor Bart Ehrman against the Director of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts Daniel Wallace, was held on Feb. 1 at UNC-CH Memorial Hall. The two scholars seemed to radiate with overflowing knowledge up on stage as the audience began to file [...]
By: Natalie DeMasi What graphical analysis and “Gone with the Wind” teaches us about friendship Few would argue with me when I say that Scarlett O’Hara was a bitch. She used her feminine wiles to twist and manipulate men, causing enough destruction in her wake to constitute a four-hour movie. Scarlett seized the attention of [...]
