Ailey O’Toole Staff Writer If I were to say “OCD,” what would come to your mind? Probably your friend who arranges her wardrobe by color, or that guy next to you in class who always has to have two pencils lined up perfectly on his desk, or someone you work with who uses Purell every five minutes during flu season. OCD, the acronym … Continue reading Stop stereotyping mental illness
Spencer Schneier Staff Writer Last week, I had the opportunity to speak to U.S. Senate candidate Sean Haugh. If you haven’t heard of him, that’s quite understandable. He is the Libertarian Party candidate, and as he explained to me, he began his senate campaign in 2014 because he thought it was ridiculous the party wasn’t going to run anybody. Haugh received a … Continue reading An interview with U.S. Senate candidate, Sean Haugh
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”
Adam Griffin Staff Writer George Washington was born on Feb. 22, 1732 at Pope’s Creek, Va. He was born to a middle-class Virginia planter family with older brothers who were educated in England. Washington lost his father when he was only 12 years old, and the financial strain it placed on his family prevented him from going to college. His stunted education plagued him … Continue reading George Washington, the young man
Mark Parent Opinions Editor Last week, the U.S. national debt eclipsed $19 trillion. As Donald Trump would say, that’s huge! But unlike Trump’s antics behind a podium, this is no laughing matter. Instead, our spiraling fiscal situation is, perhaps, the greatest threat to our country. In fact, when one examines the debt to GDP ratio — which is, probably, the most effective measuring tool at … Continue reading Bernie Sanders will bankrupt the U.S.
Spencer Schneier Staff Writer Energy is arguably the most important element of modern society. There is a direct relationship between humanity’s ability to utilize energy and its ability to grow and develop. If you reject this notion, I would suggest you stop reading here, because you should go read a history textbook instead. Getting that out of the way, energy is currently at … Continue reading The world should embrace free-market energy alternatives
Lauren Cherry Copy Editor Let’s go over the style stars of the 50th Super Bowl. While Lady Gaga has toned town her outlandish style, her outfit by no means qualifies as “normal” — and I am more than okay with that. Most people wouldn’t use anything in the realm of normal to describe a red sequin Gucci suit, but her custom-made ensemble is just … Continue reading Spartan Sensibilities
Quinn Hunter Senior layout Editor Taylor Swift. How do I even begin to explain Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift is flawless. She has seven Grammys and a white Audi. I hear her legs are insured for $40 million. She does car commercials in China. Her favorite movies are from Disney. She met Ed Sheeran at an award show and he told her she was pretty. She … Continue reading The debate of a generation: Taylor Swift or nah
Ailey O’Toole Staff Writer Cyclothymia is a rare mood disorder in which the patient experiences emotional highs and lows. The symptoms are similar to those of bipolar disorder, but they are less severe. If you have cyclothymia, you can generally still operate in your daily life, though some days not as well as others. The unpredictable nature of a cyclothymia patient’s mood swings may … Continue reading Mental Health: Cyclothymia
The Editorial Staff Last Wednesday, social media was lit on fire. The culprit, of course, was a flier posted by the UNCG College Republicans. 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
