Fallen Mascot
Grace and Rameses, November 2005
Since I live in Chapel Hill, have die hard UNC fans for children, and have opportunities to go to many UNC games, we have lots of pictures like the one above. I just don’t post them very often.
Jason Ray, the student who cheered on the Tar Heel nation as the UNC mascot, died from injuries suffered in a tragic car accident. I want to pass on my thoughts to his family members and friends. He sounded like a great kid that will surely be missed.
Some 2,700 Applicants Notified Of Carolina Acceptance — in Error
About 2,700 applicants for fall 2007 admission to Carolina were notified mistakenly on Jan. 23 that they had been accepted. In fact, decisions on these applications have not been made, and the students were not expecting decisions until March 31.
The Office of Undergraduate Admissions said two simultaneous human errors involving e-mail messages were to blame. Its staff began apologizing to applicants the next day.
“We are still mortified that this happened,” admissions Director Steve Farmer said Thursday, nearly two days after the error. “I hate that it happened. We try to make sure the candidates under our care are treated fairly and humanely, and it’s heartbreaking in this case there were 2,700 students we’ve failed.”
