The Rantings of our Leaders
Welcome
back to Carolina! And welcome to yet another issue of Carolina
Review.
This semester promises to be one of the most exciting in the history of conser¬
vatism at Carolina, and the Review has started off on the right foot with this edition.
For a look at the cutting edge of thought and opinion at the university, read on.
If you enjoy what you see, drop us a line! We’re looking for enthusiastic con¬
servatives who can help us fill these pages each month. Whether you have a skill or
just want to learn one, call the Review's toll-free line, 1-877-585-1406, or send us elec¬
tronic mail at [email protected]. We’d love to hear from you.
As always, we extend a warm note of thanks to our donors and benefactors.
Without their kind generosity, this publication simply would not exist. To those who
have supported the Review over the years, thanks for your continued support!
Good luck this semester. Meanwhile, read and enjoy!
