Dudley Keith: Give UNC students prime seats
Watching the UNC Tar Heels playing the Duke Blue Devils in basketball recently, I was wondering why most of the views of the Dean Dome show sedate nonstudents.
Why are the students of the premiere public institution of higher learning in our state relegated to one section behind one of the goals?
When the Heels play Duke in Durham, the coverage will show the students ruling the court.
With all of the scrutiny on athletics at UNC, why not put the students first, literally, and give them prime seats before well-heeled supporters (pun intended)?
The students whom we all are supporting should be front and center, wildly cheering on their team.
