A quantitative and qualitative review of "Enough is enough, ASG" in the UNCCH Daily Tar Heel

T Greg's Tomes: A quantitative and qualitative review of "Enough is enough, ASG" in the UNCCH Daily Tar Heel

I knew ahead of time that an editorial would be coming out in the Daily Tar Heel of UNC Chapel Hill regarding UNCASG and its budget. I wrote columns for the NC State Technician for 2 years, and if one thing is true across all college newspapers it's that coming up with editorials daily is always a struggle. So when phone calls get made by a reporter for a news piece, you can almost guarantee that if the news story is salacious enough the Opinion/Editorial section of the paper will write something on it just so they have content to put in print.

An open letter to the Daily Tar Heel

Dear Editor,

Since my term began last July, we have always welcomed public scrutiny to ensure our activities stay in line with student interests. But I echo most of the delegates and officers of the UNC Association of Student Governments in saying I'm mystified by the bulk of your editorial "We need an effective voice."

We're all genuinely excited to be working with Jasmin Jones as UNC's next Student Body President. She made her presence felt at our meeting this weekend, and her candor and good humor will both be needed in tackling the difficult issues students face next year.

Yet your argument that the meeting "could mark the beginning of a change in ASG" comes about 9 months late. The beginning of those changes began in July.
