Corrections

Technician regrets these errors:

Wednesday, August 24, 2011

In August 23's story "Zombies vs. Humans," Technician incorrectly reported Mark Keen's comments regarding comparisons between human diseases and horror movies and the information published was inaccurate.

Thursday, July 21, 2011

In July 21's story "A new era for the Last Frontier," the timeline dates 2025 and 2030 refer to Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle, not Multi-Purpose Control Vehicle as originally published.

In timeline date 2015, NASA will buy its way onto a privately financed space shuttle, not design its own space craft as originally reported.

In July 21's editorial "Student Media will publish the truth," Technician incorrectly reported that Tracey Ray made the decision to pull distribution of The Brick, rather New Student Orientation Director Gabe Wical actually made the decision.

Wednesday, July 20, 2011

In July 14's story "The eye-opening irony of tear gas," Benjamin Quigley's name was misspelled in the photo captions.

The July 14 edition's story  "Racial slur in 'The Brick' raises ire," contained several mistakes.

Although the representatives of Student Media did meet July 8 to discuss "The Brick," they reached a compromise on the sticker July 11, not July 8 as originally reported.

Tracey Ray's title was incorrect. Her actual title is assistant vice provost for student diversity.

The Brick is 128 pages, not 129 as originally reported.

The July 14 story "University forced to bear millions in cuts," incorrectly reported that deans would have to cut 10 percent from each college. They will actually have to cut 7 percent.

In the Nov. 8, 2010 edition, the feature photo "Remember, remember, the fifth of November," was altered to obscure a racial slur in the Free Expression Tunnel, violating Student Media's code of ethics, which prohibits photo editors from manipulating images in a way that would mislead viewers or misrepresent subjects.

Wednesday, June 22, 2011

In June 16's "Obama calls for 10,000 more engineers," Barack Obama's name was misspelled.

Wednesday, June 8, 2011

The photo on page 3 ("Contemporary Art Museum showcases new artists") of June 2's paper was taken by Patrick Easters, not Brent Kitchen. The caption was also incorrect; the correct caption is:

Kelsey Richards, a senior in history, explores an inflatable sculpture which was part of the "Hold On, Loosely" exhibition at the Contemporary Art Museum in downtown Raleigh. "You walk in a refrigerator door and it's like Willy Wonka's wonderland," Richards said. Artist Dan Steinhilber constructed the exhibit from sheets of greenhouse plastic and melted bits of grocery bags. It was constructed just before the museum's opening on April 29 this year and will stay at the museum through August.

In June 2's "Burmese refugees seek therapy through art," the second paragraph refers to artists from Durham. They are not artists, but art therapists. The Art Therapy Institute would like to clarify that although they received a grant from UNC for the program, the original funding was a grant from Strowd Roses Inc.

Monday, May 2, 2011

In Monday's "Lack of funding holds back maintenance of elevators," Technician would like to clarify that problems with elevators occur campus-wide and are not specific to residence halls alone.

story.
