Kennedy issues an executive order establishing the Peace Corps. It proved to be one of the most innovative and highly publicized Cold War programs set up by the United States. During the course of his campaign for the presidency in 1960, Kennedy floated the idea that a new “army” should be created by the United States. This force would be made up of civilians who would volunteer their time and skills to travel to underdeveloped nations to assist them in any way they could. ...[/SIZE][/I] [B][FONT=Arial][SIZE=6][COLOR=rgb(255, 128, 0)]SU News[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/B] [B][URL='http://www.dailytarheel.com/article/2016/02/brice-johnson-clutch-again-for-unc-mens-basketball-in-his-final-home-game']Tar Heels Discuss Controversial Call That Helped Give Them a Victory Over Syracuse (dailytarheel.com; Marks)[/URL][/B] [I]Brice Johnson is screaming — again. Fists clenched, arms flexed. You know how he gets. But this time is different; it’s more than a basketball play. There’s a minute and change left in the No. 8 North Carolina men’s basketball team’s eventual 75-70 win over Syracuse, but at the time, UNC is only up three points. Joel Berry pulls the trigger from deep, uncorking a shot just behind the arc. It clanks — hard — off the rim. Find the ball, get to the ball. Who has the ball? This is where Johnson comes in. He leaps in the air, one white shirt in a mob of orange ones, and somehow manages to get his hands on the ball. “What other person would you expect to get that rebound?” Kennedy Meeks said. Now it’s Berry’s turn to wait, but there’s no mad dash for the rebound this time. Johnson hops back up and lets go of a floater. Swish. “Thank God he’s down there getting the rebound,” Berry said. “I don’t know what the score was at that point, but we needed it to close out the game." ...[/I] [B][URL='http://www.syracuse.com/axeman/index.ssf/2016/03/syracuse_basketball_loses_to_north_carolina_75-70_brent_axe_recap.html#0'] [IMG]http://image.syracuse.com/home/syr-media/pgmain/img/axeman/photo/19850268-standard.jpg[/IMG] Review of Syracuse Loss to UNC (photo gallery; PS; Axe)[/URL][/B] [IMG]http://content.tegna-media.com/photo/2016/03/01/635923938582138066-USP-NCAA-BASKETBALL-SYRACUSE-AT-NORTH-CAROLINA-80114266_671348_ver1.0.JPG[/IMG] [B][URL='http://www.12news.com/news/nation-now/watch-north-carolinas-marcus-paige-pay-homage-to-coach-roy-williams/62624181']Watch UNC's Marcus Paige Pay Homage to Roy Williams (12news.com)[/URL][/B] [I]Senior nights in college basketball are about for home crowds to celebrate veteran players for the final time.

About 70 people turned out for a meeting at the Southwest Community Center to discuss the Consensus commission proposal to create a metropolitan government. Some speakers, including City Councilor Khalid Bey, were hostile to the plan. Others said they were puzzled by what the new government would look like and who would write its rules, details that Consensus has not prescribed. Still other speakers emphasized the need for change and expressed hope that the Consensus initiative would yield progress. "I think we all agree that something different needs to be done,'' said Bishop Ronald Dewberry, pastor of New Life Temple of Praise. Dewberry said discussions about government reform have gone on for at least two decades, while poverty and lack of employment have driven city residents away. ...[/I] [/QUOTE]
