Noble Niner

Happy 49er New Year all!  Welcome back to another exciting semester at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte!  As the first week back to class for students rolls on, UNCC is a hot bed of activity.  WOW! (Week Of Welcome for you freshmen or transfers) continues today with Keychain Keepers (11-2 Belk Tower).  Also at Belk Tower today is the Student Organization Showcase, also from 11-2.  Venture is hosting an indoor rock climbing event from 3-8 in the SAC.  UNCC’s Greek Community is hosting an open house from 5-6:30 in the Lucas Room of Cone Center, and for you artsy types, auditions are being held for Sylvia and Our Country’s Good from 7-9 in Belk Theatre in Robinson Hall.  This week is a great time for you to find out where you fit, and contribute to the betterment of our campus.  Find out about these and other campus events at UNCC’s Campus Events page.

 As you may have noticed, Noble Niner lay dormant for the duration of the summer.  Despite that and attempts to bring this website down, I am committed to exposing truth, holding UNCC’s officials accountable to us, their customers, and bringing a sense of pride to every Noble Niner.  Stay tuned weekly for the latest news, campus happenings and goings-on in the surrounding community.

As always, wear the green and gold, fight the good fight, and if need be, let Silence speak for YOU!

As UNC Charlotte completes final exams; as seniors prepare to walk on Saturday; as Chancellor Dubois allocates $250,000 to make UNC Charlotte safer (how about a new police chief?); as Chancellor Dubois’ office is outfitted with gold toilets…

Trouble is brewing in the heartland.

It appears Noble Niner is making waves in the UNC Charlotte community. A reader commented “this [site] is anything but modeling [the] ideals that we as members of UNC-Charlotte want to represent.” Alright, fine, let’s all submit obtusely to authority without question.  That mentality worked well for Jews during World War II, didn’t it….  Funny, isn’t it, how Noble Niner is demonized, while it seems the author of the comment turns a blind eye to the sordid actions of the administration.

Another reader sent a message via Facebook: “the staff in student orgs have an agenda of trying to grow sororitys, frats, and the republicans. just my two cents”. I know no party nor brotherhood save the Niner Nation. Given that, it is interesting to note the reader is affiliated with the College Democrats. You didn’t realize we had a College Democrats chapter, did you? As to the “agenda” of the OSA staff, I’m sure they help those who help themselves.

Meanwhile, rumor has it CMPD detectives have been calling around doing investigative work to determine who is behind last month’s destruction of two Muslim Student Association signs. Proof the Rent-A-Cop has effectively run the UNCC department into the ground? You tell me….

As always, stay tuned for the latest.
