taken on dates.
“I hear of so many ‘sleepovers,’ but guys won’t
take a girl out on a date,” Pandich said.
“I no longer go for the hookup scene,” junior
Casey Holmes agreed. “I would rather be tak-
en on a date and be in a relationship.”
New technologies like Facebook, Twitter and
text have made it easier to get in contact with
the opposite sex. Students said they have
more confidence while texting and tend to
say things they probably wouldn’t say face-
to-face. Junior Evan Scott admits that class
lectures are great times for texting heart-to-
hearts.
Unfortunately, this new technology has also
made college relationships more complicated
as well. Sophomore Hannah McGee pointed
out that texting has become a way around
22
actual phone conversations. And thanks to
Facebook, people can see each other before
getting involved which puts more importance
on looks.
“These days someone may flirt with you on
Facebook or via text messages but in reality
you have no meaningful relationship,” Hol-
mes said. “It makes it even more confusing to
try to figure out what guys actually are look-
ing for.”
Many students seemed to agree that new
technology has a big impact on relationship
fidelity. This technology makes it very easy
for someone to talk to many people at once,
and it’s a lot easier to flirt.
“I think it feels harmless to most people since
it is not face-to-face, but it still can be re-
ally hurtful if your significant other finds out
you’ve been going behind their back,” Pan-
dich said.
Don’t worry though ladies, according to Scott
there is still hope.
“Although it’s definitely not raining men,
there are over 20,000 people at this school,”
he said. “That’s a ridiculous amount of guys,
and no, not all are taken, and no, they’re not
all jerks, and yes, they would like to talk to
you!” k

THE REAL
“NEW MATH”
Although the 60 to 40 ratio makes
the campus dating scene harsh at
times, many young women at UNC
disagree with the New York Times
article, “The New Math on Campus,”
printed in February. Students such
as junior Taylor Pandich and senior
Autumn Provenzano said that while
they do get dressed up to go out,
they don’t usually intend to find
dates at bars.
The men also disagreed with
writer Alex Williams’ interpretation
of Chapel Hill nightlife. UNC guys
like senior John Russell found the
article emasculating. It questioned
their ability to charm the ladies,
attributing all their luck to the
eagerness of girls to find dates. The
article also labeled college men as
perpetual players, but many resent
these classifications.
In the article junior Emily Kennard
commented on cheating, saying,
“If you don’t let it slide, you don’t
have a boyfriend.” This portrays girls
as desperate, and many girls would
not allow a boyfriend to cheat.
The New York Times article implied
girls are satisfied with the hook-up
lifestyle. But the girls in our article
would rather be taken on dates and
have a boyfriend than a one-
nightstand.
It is also interesting that while the
girls interviewed in the article talk
about the desire to hook-up, allow
cheating and pick the first guy they
see, they don’t personally condone
or partake in these lifestyles.

Scarred by the Sun Alexander McQueen
After sophomore Katie Terry discovered a
cancerous spot on her foot, her view of skin
care and sun protection changed.
She had the spot since she was a little girl.
“My parents considered it a birth mark,”
she said. But last summer, Terry noticed
that the mark had changed shape and color,
so she went to the dermatologist to have it
removed.
A biopsy showed that the spot was cancerous
– stage one melanoma.
“I’m lucky I came in and got it removed when
I did,” she said. “Obviously, it could have
been a lot worse.”
On August 27, Terry had a golf-ball sized
area of skin removed from the top of her
right foot. “It was extra scary because the
area was close to the nerve, so they could
have had to remove my toe,” she said. But the
surgery went as planned. A plastic surgeon
grafted skin from her hip to replace the skin
he removed from her foot. And Terry still has
all ten toes.
“It’s never going to look completely normal
again,” she said. “I know that.”
But Terry said she doesn’t hide from the sun;
she has just learned to be cautious.
“I have to be really careful with being burnt,”
she said. “It’s not a thing I would risk again.”
Terry, who is fair-skinned, worked
as a lifeguard

during the summer and occasionally went
to the tanning bed before prom or spring
break. “I paid to have skin cancer, in a way,”
she said. “I made the situation worse by
subjecting myself to it.”
Now, Terry has to have regular skin checks
every six months.
“I’m more prone to have another problem
than someone else in my family,” she said.
“It can be places you would not think. Your
hands and feet and also your scalp are more
common than you would think.”
Many of Terry’s friends
have started opting for
spray tans instead of
going to the tanning
bed. Last summer, the
