What do people
drop on New Years?
No possums were
harmed during the
writing of this story.
By Ashlen Renner
Staff Writer
From giant acorns to

giant pickles, many cities
and towns in North Carolina
drop their own objects
to mimic the ball drop in
Times Square signifying
the countdown to the New
Year.
For the past two years,
sophomore Erin Boehlert
has been celebrating New
Years Eve at First Night
Raleigh, the official name
of the symbolic acorn drop.
In 2012, a record 80,000
people counted down in
downtown Raleigh as the
giant acorn dropped.
Its really busy, but its a
good atmosphere, she said.
Its good to be around people
and celebrate.
Raleigh, known as the
City of Oaks because of the
many oak trees that line the
streets of the city, has been
dropping the acorn since
1992.
For many, New Years
means more than watching
the New York ball drop on
TV.
Freshman Anna Phares
attends a New Years celebration near her home in
Richmond, Va.
People just fill the streets
kind of like Halloween on
Franklin, she said. Its pretty
rowdy. There are a lot of
people on the roofs and a lot
of screaming.
In Southern Pines, New
Years festivities have more
of a family feel. At the early
hour of 8 p.m., the town
drops a four-foot steel pinecone laced with lights.
Its a tradition, said
Jessica Harrelson, presi-
Its pretty rowdy. There are a lot of people

on the roofs and a lot of screaming.

Freshman from Richmond, Va.
dent of the Southern Pines

Business Association, which
hosts the celebration each
year.
They close off downtown
Broad Street; theres a DJ
and a band. Some stores stay
open late and serve food and
hot chocolate.
Brasstown, a town priding
itself as the possum capital
of the world, lowers a live
possum safely to the ground
at New Years. The celebration also features a Eulogy
to a Possum, a Possum
Idol sing off, and a Miss
Possum contest.
Mount Olive drops a
glowing three-foot pickle
from a flagpole in honor
of the Mt. Olive Pickle
Company, a business that

has been a staple in the town
since 1926.
Junior Kacy Rhyne said
she wished there were more
festivities for the holiday in
her hometown of WinstonSalem.
A lot of people go to Lake
Norman, she said. Its basically like a normal weekend.
But Harrelson said New
Years celebrations have
become something towns can
take pride in.
Its a production,
Harrelson said. This year
we want it to be awesome.
We want to take it up a
notch.

Free Saturday parking in Chapel Hill this month

By Mary Taylor Renfro
Staff Writer
The Town of Chapel Hill is offering free parking in several lots and on-street spaces to
accomodate holiday shoppers on Saturdays in December.

For anxious holiday shoppers hoping to make their

way to Franklin Street with
ease this season, the town of
Chapel Hill has a solution.
Chapel Hill will offer
free parking at all parking
lots owned by the town, the
Wallace Deck and on-street
metered spots during the
day on Saturdays this month
to accommodate holiday
shoppers.
Some parking areas will
be free through Saturday
nights, but the Wallace Deck,
Rosemary/Columbia Lot
and 140 West Lot will begin
charging their normal rates
after 5 p.m.
Meg McGurk, executive
director of the Chapel Hill
Downtown Partnership, said
the town has been offering
free parking on Saturdays in
December for the past several years.

McGurk said the change

was added on top of the current policy of free Sunday
parking. The partnership
hopes the offer will encourage
more holiday shoppers to visit
the downtown area.
Parking is free every
Sunday and on holidays, but
this is really the time that the
town offers free parking specifically to benefit the merchants
downtown and the community
to encourage the local shopping in our downtown district,

McGurk said.
Its a great partnership,
and were really glad that the
town is willing to partner
with us.
The partnerships latest
parking study, which was conducted in 2007, found that
community demand totaled
2,840 parking spaces, though
the town only provided 840.
Since then, the town has

added the 140 West Parking
Deck on Rosemary Street,
which has 337 spaces.
Lauren Martin, former store manager at the
boutique Bevello on East
Franklin Street, said she
was pleased to hear that free
parking will be available on
weekends this December.
I definitely think it
would be good for business,
Martin said.
Martin said she hopes free
parking will encourage people
to be more willing to come
downtown to shop.
We hear people complain
about parking a lot especially the on-street parking
with the meters so hopefully this will help with that,
she said.
Jim and Jean Turner of
Pine Knoll Shores said they
visit Chapel Hill frequently
and they consider the parking
situation in the downtown
area challenging.
Just today, this is actually

my first experience trying to
park on the street with the
new meters, and theyre evil,
Jim Turner said.
Though they were not
familiar with the towns free
parking policy on weekends
in December, both Jim and
Jean Turner said they liked

the idea of it.
I think it would be marvelous for the town and for its
visitors, Jim Turner said.
Well have to come back
for it.

A seniors advice for exam stress: Laugh in the face of nals
never told anybody, but I

secretly loved finals week
my first year at UNC.
After a semester spent
wondering whether I was
doing college right, it was
a relief to know the answer
had been reduced to a simple
directive: Study hard, and
pass a test. OK, I thought. I
can do that.
My appreciation for finals

didnt go away after that,
either. They make me feel
studious and thoughtful like
I always imagined my college
self would often feel.
Theres something undeniably cozy about sitting
silently in solidarity with
ones fellow students, emerging from hoodies and remov-
ing headphones at regular

intervals to get coffee refills
at Alpine.
Everything becomes so
much simpler during finals
week. When non-school obligations clear their throats
and tap us on the shoulder,
the gravitas of final exams
helps us feel perfectly justified in brushing them off.

The BEST live music ~ 18 & over admitted
Its finals week, dammit,

we snap. Cant you see Im
studying here?
But I write this with some
melancholy. I am no longer invested enough in my
academic success (Kidding,
Mom!) to feel the finals spirit
as fully as I used to.
As I walk through Davis
Library today, I feel like an
older brother who exchanges
knowing looks with his
parents while his younger
siblings rumble downstairs
on Christmas morning to
see what Santa has brought
them.
Yet this is no ode to finals
week. Like the ingredients
of a delicious cake, everything that makes finals great
also makes them dangerous in excess. The singlemindedness with which we
devote ourselves to these tests
Henry Gargan
Opinion Editor
and papers has the potential to quickly devolve into

unhealthy obsession.
Youll probably see lots of
listicles in the coming days
preaching best practices for
stress management.
Take lots of little breaks,
reward yourself, get plenty
of sleep. Do all of those
things. Your emotional wellbeing during this trying
time is more important than
anything.
But Ive found the best
way to guard against the

worst of exam stress is to
enthusiastically and, yes,
perhaps a little ironically
embrace everything that
makes finals week so awful.
Have fun with it.
Break out the sweatpants
and slippers, or grow yourself
a silly finals beard.
Drink too much coffee,
even if youre with me in
thinking it tastes like dirt.
Buy lots of unnecessary
office supplies and make flashcards because thats what the
good students did all semester,
and you suspect they might be
on to something.
Recall Harry Potter and
the boggart, and apply Remus
Lupins teachings: The only
thing that can truly defeat the
existential crises that accompany such high stakes is to
laugh in their face.
A Child Shall Lead Them...

With carols and candlelight services,
let us welcome the child of God together this season.
