University of North Carolina/Chapel Hill/Tour Heels

Welcome to the learning project on Tour Heels: A UNC Bucket List!

This page is under construction by English 149 (the best class ever) at UNC Chapel Hill, and it will eventually include information on sites of consequence to UNC students.

The construction of this page will be a learning experience aimed at fostering familiarity with wiki markup and editing practices. By using a simple, local topic, we can focus on writing technique rather than content mastery. Be aware that if this page was transferred to Wikipedia, it would be considered too informal, of too localized interest, and too lengthy for easy navigation. That's why we're using Wikiversity.

Description

edit

The Sloane Art Library is located in the Hanes Art Center on South Columbia Street across from Fraternity Court. It is one of the smaller libraries on campus, since very few students at UNC-Chapel Hill know it even exists. It is a very convenient library for students living in Granville and Fraternity Court because of its close proximity to these areas. It is also extremely quiet and peaceful due to the low student volume.

These study rooms can be reserved online through the UNC libraries website and are a great place to meet with study groups. The ITS Help Desk is downstairs, along with the electronic media resources. These resources include screenplays, the DVD collection, and computers equipped with various editing softwares and programs. There is a small studio for recording and editing video and audio files, which can be reserved in advance.

The walls of Sutton's have photographs of families, athletes, and celebrities who have came in to the store.

Historic Sites and Landmarks

edit

The Old Well

edit

The Old Well is one of the most enduring symbols of UNC. It is located on Cameron St. between Old East and Old West Residence halls. It was originally built as the water supply for Old East and Old West dormitories. President Erwin A. Alderman directed its present form in 1897 as a beautification project resembling the Temple of Love in the Garden of Versailles. Students often drink from the well before the first day of class as an old tradition to bring good luck. [4]

 
The Old Well is an iconic symbol of UNC-Chapel Hill's campus

Morehead Bell Tower

edit

Each hour of the day the Morehead-Patterson Bell Tower rings to remind students and faculty of the generosity of two families associated with the university since its earliest days.[5]

Davie Poplar Tree

edit
 
This is a photo of the Davie Poplar tree at McCorkle Place on the campus of the University of North Carolina.

The Davie Poplar Tree is a tuliptree (or tulip poplar) located at McCorkle Place on the campus of the University of North Carolina. It is believed to be at least 300 years old. The tree's namesake comes from Revolutionary War General William R. Davie and legend has it that he stood beneath the tree as he selected the site for the University. Many people say that as long as the tree is standing, the University will be successful.[6]

Old East

edit

Old East is the first building constructed on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Its cornerstone was laid on October 12, 1793. The building currently serves as a co-ed residence hall for students of the University.

Davie Poplar Bench

edit

The bench is located beneath the Davie Poplar Tree. According to campus folklore, if you sit on the bench with your significant other, the two of you will always be together.

Silent Sam

edit

The statue of a confederate soldier by John Wilson. Silent Sam is located on the upper quad. The statue was erected in 1913, and was dedicated to the students who were in the Confederate Army, as well as the 321 alumni who passed away during the Civil War. The soldier is referred to as silent because he is not carrying any ammunition. [7]

Unsung Founders Memorial

edit

The Unsung Founders Memorial is located in McCorkle Place. Designed by Do-Ho Suh, it was erected in 2005 in order to honor the minority groups who helped to build the university. The memorial is a round, black table held up by three hundred bronze figurines. The table is surrounded by five seats, where visitors can rest. The memorial contains the inscription: “The Class of 2002 honors the University’s unsung founders – the people of color bond and free – who helped build the Carolina that we cherish today.”

Campus Curiosities

edit

The Underground Tunnels

edit
 
Student in storm drain system under UNC's campus

The so called "Underground Tunnels" on UNC's campus are actually a series of storm drain pipes. It is illegal and dangerous to go into the storm pipes, but that does not hold students back from exploring their depths. [8]

Order of Gimghoul

edit
 
The castle that is owned by the Order of Gimghoul, as seen from the gravel road out front. Note the black car with tinted windows parked under the porch.

The Order of Gimghoul is a collegiate secret society founded in 1889. Students enjoy speculating about the nature of this society, and visits to the castle site are always exciting for them, especially under cover of darkness.

The Legend

edit

A UNC Chapel Hill student, Peter Dromgoole, was in love with a woman named Miss Fanny. However, another young man also loved this woman, and there was a pistol duel for her affection between the two men. Dromgoole was allegedly killed at the site of the castle, and his blood stains a rock there to this day. The rock was dragged over his body to cover up any wrongdoing. The name Dromgoole inspired the founder of the Order of Gimghoul, who named the Order after this mysterious occurrence. [9]

The Founding

edit

Wray Martin, a student at the University, liked to visit Point Prospect at night to write a private mythology. In these mythologies, which were inspired by the Arthurian legends, he created a "City of the Gimghoul." The castle was in the spot where he wrote, and was surrounded by a "great, island-dotted sea." [10]

Speculations and Weirdness

edit

When people try to take photos of the site, if someone who works for the organization sees you- for example, a maintenance man in a white truck- they will be told they are not supposed to take photos because it's "top secret."

On the eve of Halloween every year, a group of hooded figures with candles appears in the Forest Theater around midnight. A popular student theory is that these figures are, in fact, the members of the Order.

Some students say that the Order is basically just a fraternity that's more secret. One student, walking by at night, saw a male wearing a polo shirt and khakis come outside while holding a red cup.

Gary the Pit Preacher

edit

Gary "preaches" to the student body of UNC Chapel Hill publicly outside of WIlson Library or in "The Pit". He is known for his extremely racist, sexist, and just generally offensive views, as well as for his blue fold-up lawn chair and picket-signs. He has been known to say that UNC is his favorite university to "preach" at- the students can't decide if that is a good or bad reflection on the student body. It is widely accepted that his views are false and irrelevant, and that he is impossible to engage in formal debate. In 2014 Gary was banned from The Pit for a period of one year, and was henceforth known as the "Adjacent-to-the-Pit Preacher."

Theories

edit
  • Gary is the most committed performance artist of all time
  • Gary is hired by the university to encourage debate and discussion
  • Gary is possibly the greatest genius of all time.
  • Gary is a troll.

Activities

Ackland Art Museum

edit

Ackland Tomb

edit

William Hayes Ackland is entombed in the Ackland Art Museum.In Ackland's last will and testament, he outlined he wanted to be laid to rest in a museum to be named after him at Duke University. Duke rejected the idea of have a museum that held the tomb of Ackland and instead, after nine years of litigation, the Ackland trust was awarded to UNC Chapel Hill. Currently, Mr. Ackland is laid to rest in the Art Museum and his tomb can be seen inside the museum. [12]
