Krysten Heberly Opinions Editor As science has progressed, so has our fear of science. It seems as if every other day, a new buzzword comes out to describe the chemicals which we are putting into our bodies, separating them into the categories of good and bad. However, as many of us learned in school, science is not a simple subject. This means that our categorization … Continue reading An Organic Problem – The Validity of Hydroponics
Krysten Heberly Opinions Editor One of the more exciting ways to spend a night, is to go see your favorite band perform live at a local club.

Annie Walker Opinions Editor The marvels of modern technology have revolutionized the world as we know it. Tools of constant communication have enabled us to simply pick up the phone or open a laptop and, moments later, send a message to anywhere in the world.

As early voting opens tomorrow, there has not been a presidential election cycle within living memory so fraught with controversy. Through the course of conflicting information, outright nastiness, and disturbing revelations, one clear choice emerges. As the official student newspaper of UNCG, The Carolinian endorses Hillary Clinton, the candidate we feel will do the most good for our nation and our fellow students.

Taylor Allen Editor-in-Chief “We will never forget.” This phrase has been emblematic of September 11, 2001 for the past 15 years. It seems to me that as a nation, we have done well to keep that promise. Personally and culturally, 9/11 still has a profound place in our collective memory. Everyone has a story about 9/11, even those of us who were too young … Continue reading 9/11 Editorial
The Editorial Staff On the first Tuesday after spring break, March 15, UNC-Greensboro students will be faced with a critical choice. And no, it has nothing to do with the presidential primary elections. Instead, all North Carolina voters will be asked to vote either for or against the Connect NC Bond. This newspaper strongly urges you to vote for the package. The simple fact of … Continue reading Students should rally behind Connect NC Bond
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”

Simply put, the upper-half of the flier showcased a number of racially insensitive quotations from Democratic politicians — some of whom are long deceased — while the bottom-half of the flier contained a Republican party elephant, the party’s mascot, with the … Continue reading UNCG College Republicans epitomize cheap politics
The Editorial Staff Last week, over three-dozen people marched on the UNC Board of Governors meeting in Greensboro at A&T University; unfortunately, the protesters caused such a disturbance that four individuals were arrested. As the News and Observer reports, the Faculty Forward Network, an outgrowth of the SEIU that aims to protect the interests of university faculty members, organized the protest in an ill-fated attempt … Continue reading Margaret Spellings should be given a chance to succeed
The Editorial Staff For more than one year, students at UNC-Greensboro have been waiting on pins and needles for a resolution to the debate surrounding the name of the Aycock Auditorium, which currently bears the name of controversial former Gov. Charles B. Aycock. This debate, however, seems stuck in the mud of campus politics. In 2014, Chancellor Linda Brady created an ad hoc committee for … Continue reading Board of Trustees: Make a decision on the Aycock Auditorium
