But even as she stood among signs reading “Tony Rand steamrolled our town,” Wolfenden said she was not sure of the effectiveness of the protests. “I have really given up trying to accomplish any thing,” she said. “I just want Tony Rand to know that we are humans that live here.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu.
