Scandal to Resolution

13 January 2010

It is easy for non-Greeks at Carolina to dismiss the Greek system as, at best, unproductive, and at worst, disruptive and detrimental to the campus reputation. The incidents of the past three months have only reinforced this notion for Greek skeptics and supporters alike. Continue Reading

Restoring Thomas Jefferson

18 November 2009

Americans are a mysterious people. Known around the world for bravely and successfully experimenting with democracy and limited government, initiating the greatest worldwide movement in the history of Western civilization, we are intensely proud of the abstract values for which we stand and the history that developed them. Yet myths live on in our political culture at the expense of credible history and often at the expense of our founding principles. Continue Reading

Truth and the Freeing Arts

18 November 2009

Walking through campus, you might come across the phrase Lux libertas, our school motto, which means “Light and Liberty.” Lux libertas was the belief that laid the foundation for free academic inquiry and exploration for truth which led to UNC being hailed as the premier liberal arts institution in North Carolina.

  • The Green Police
    This was probably my favorite Superbowl ad. It was very revealing as to the overall trend of the green movement. What was also interesting was how close the scenes depicted in the ad are to real life. Consider the first scene where the man is arrested for requesting plastic bags at the supermarket. This past spring the [...] […]

  • The Ultimate Bankruptcy of the Social Gospel
    So I have just finished reading Shane Claiborne’s book The Irresistible Revolution. It’s been popular for a while, especially in certain circles at UNC. The book and author are the latest iteration of the stream of Christian theology which was known as the Progressive Gospel in the early 20th Century, Liberation Theology in the 1970s and [...] […]
  • Feminists Gone Wild
    To celebrate women’s week, the Carolina Women’s Center is involved in a project entitled Take Back the F-Word.  It is a project in which students are to “Imagine a world where no one is confined by rigid gender expectations . . . a world built on ideals of inclusivity and social justice.”  The f-word project is [...] […]
