Better late than never

Linda Convissor of UNC passes on this info about the University's new memorial to the oppressed workers that built it.

Dedication of Unsung Founders Memorial
Saturday, November 5, 10:00 a.m.

If you have been on McCorkle Place recently, perhaps to vote, you may have noticed the new sculpture installed near Alumni Hall and the Morehead Planetarium. The sculpture “honors the university's unsung founders - the people of color bond and free who helped build the Carolina that we cherish today.”

The sculpture, which is a gift of the class of 2002, was installed in late spring and will be dedicated this Saturday, November 5. The community is invited and I hope you will come to campus for this dedication and let others know about it.

Where's the money

Submitted by Ruby Sinreich on November 4, 2005 - 2:29am

So the election is just days away and we haven't had a single discussion of campaign financing. There were a few newspaper articles after the previous filing deadline, but I've been unable to glean any kind of consistent information that I could use to compare and contrast the candidates.

I understand there was just another round of reports due, but I haven't seen any coverage of that. So... what do you know, readers? Who's getting how much money and from whom? Anyone want to go up to Hillsborough and do some research?
