TAKE A STROLL THROUGH CAMPUS this fall and you’ll likely be exposed to the many ways that people choose to make a statement.
Be it through body art, creating crafts for a cause or simply by the colors of their clothes and the language they use — the members of the Carolina community are abounding with abstract, powerful and unique messages that come together to define who we are.
For this issue of Blue & White, we’ve chosen to celebrate personal expression. With a nod to Carolina’s activism-centered past and an eye to the future, our theme is “speak out.”
Discover how students who are hard of hearing struggle to adapt in a hearing-dependent world (page 22).
You may know of Title IX as the landmark law that ensured women had an equal place in sports on college campuses, but learn about how it also complicated men’s sports in our story about the crew teams (page 14).
Whether you have gotten into an argument with the Pit Preacher or have hurried by to avoid his wrath, you might appreciate our look at religious speech on campus (page 11).
Interactive Theatre Carolina uses student actors and true-to-life scripts to engage the campus in conversation about controversial issues (page 17).
If you’ve ever people-watched in the Pit, you’ll enjoy the photo essay highlighting some unique personalities on campus (page 20).
We’re hoping the people in this issue will remind you of the value and power in your voice. Speak out, Tar Heels, and remind the world why they should listen.
