Chancellor Holden Thorp announced in an e-mail Wednesday that the University intends to start cracking down on smoking violations.
Smoking is prohibited within 100 feet of public buildings - essentially banning smoking on campus.
Starting Sept. 2, the Department of Public Safety will give out $25 fines, plus $121 in court fees, for smoking in a smoke-free zone.

Webmail should be Deleted. Then Expunged.
UNC is finally looking to outsource its e-mail service to an Internet provider such as Google or Hotmail.
Here, Here!
The Webmail system as it stands is unrelentingly plain, and by plain we mean prehistoric. Webmail may be the last remaining artifact of the University's early days during the era of the original Hinton James.

Collective bargaining - I didn't know what that term meant for the first three years of my college experience.
I didn't know that it applied to workers' right to collectively organize and bargain with their employers, that North Carolina is the only state that prohibits collective bargaining by state employees, and that the ban - implemented in the 1950s - is one of the last remaining pieces of legislation from the Jim Crow era.

Hooking up on campus isn't easy. To have a rendezvous in your dorm room, establishing privacy requires a bit of craftiness. Unless your roomie is into listening to your late night, mid-day, whatever time of day affair, typically some kind of code is required between the two of you as to letting each other know when to and when not to just walk in.

We applaud the University's recent decision to add gender identity and expression to the nondiscrimination policy.
We also thank the many student activists and leaders who have long pressed for such an addition.
UNC has now joined the majority of its peer institutions in protecting transgender and non-gender-conforming individuals.

Almost all of my politically aware life, I've lived under a president who I felt represented neither me nor the best interests of our country. And until recently I had no hand in changing that.
This past May, I was proud to cast my first-ever ballot for Sen.

As a resident of the dorms for the last two years, I find the University's treatment of the housekeepers deplorable and disrespectful.
As some of the least seen and least heard members of the University, housekeepers and their demands have long been ignored by the University.

The average Duke student has many reasons to feel poorly disposed towards his Tar Heel neighbors: their uncomfortably competitive basketball team, their lackluster shade of blue and the fact that Tyler Hansbrough killed a man in cold blood in 2004 (no, I can't prove that).

It's no big secret that our state, including this University, was built on tobacco money.
It's not an especially trendy or glamorous part of our history - perhaps not as much as anti-smoking campaigns are - but it's there, and there's not really anything we can do about it.

Fore! That's the number of unsettled cases filed against the University in recent months.
This time the plaintiff is the son of former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, senior Andrew Giuliani, which is generating media attention.
Last month Giuliani filed suit against the University, complaining that he was unfairly dismissed from the men's golf team last school year.
