Mary Windsor Staff Writer “Make sure you spell it ‘Tha,’ with an ‘A’ instead of an ‘E.’ Everyone makes that mistake… don’t know why, but that’s not how you spell ‘tha,’” Cameron Tripp, the trumpeter and rapper of the group Tha Materials, laughed.

The Editorial Staff After more than a year of indecision, the UNC-Greensboro Board of Trustees finally decided to change the name of the Aycock Auditorium; in effect, of course, this action removes former Governor Charles B. Aycock from prominence on campus. Earlier this semester, we at The Carolinian decided to play a neutral role in this ongoing process; we simply felt that taking a side … Continue reading Board of Trustees should adopt “Smart-Tillman Auditorium”
Spencer Schneier Technology Editor After months of attempts, the FBI recently revealed that it is unable to get into the San Bernardino shooter’s phone, and is now claiming that it needs Apple to build a backdoor so that security officials can access the phone. The situation reeks of a lot of the problems plaguing the way Americans think about technology, or rather the lack of … Continue reading FBI vs. Apple: Society and tech, the changing story
Shaquille Blackstock Staff Writer The winter time, for those who are fortunate, is a time of brisk joy. Hot chocolate, warm fuzzy coats and hats, snow days and choppy winds usually come to mind. When it snows, people react with an almost frenzied joy, rushing to Walmart to buy all the bread and milk for whatever strange reason. For those … Continue reading Winter wonderland: The other story

While this history is valid and slavery is a black spot on our national ethos, it is not the full story. African Americans contributed greatly to the founding of America in battlefields, courtrooms and convention houses. … Continue reading African Americans and the American Founding
Daniel Johnson Sports Editor It feels like when February comes around every year and people start talking about African American athletes, the same half a dozen names come up. Names such as Jesse Owens, Jackie Robinson, Muhammad Ali, Bill Russell and Jim Brown and their accomplishments are all discussed every February, year after year. Yes, they are names that should be celebrated, but there … Continue reading Shining a light on the forgotten athletes
Andrew James Staff Writer It is a strange phenomenon when the escapist luxury of sports intersects with the American political landscape. We see it when athletes join the Black Lives Matter movement, the scads of domestic abuse cases, and the media reaction to uncovering Donald Trump hats in an athlete’s locker.
