resources to show support.

It was a year of big
storms, big wins and big
shocks.
In February, a
University junior was reported
to be assaulted on Franklin
Street in an apparent hate crime
an incident that rocked the
idea of Chapel Hill as a haven
of liberal tolerance.
In May, the bodies of a Chapel
Hill couple were discovered
and their teenage son has since
confessed to the killings —a
still-developing case that has
captured national media atten
tion.
There were a few storms this
year, and the name Katrina
now carries a different mean
ing. The record-setting storm
forever altered the face of an
American beacon and uncov
ered immense shortcomings in
federal preparedness.
Cleanup has soldiered on
since Katrina made landfall
in August, but by all accounts,
affected areas haven’t under
gone much improvement.
2005 also was a year of acqui
sitions. The Supreme Court lost
and gained a leader. The N.C.
House consolidated its lead
ership. Local politicos largely
remained the same with a few
new faces cracking onto the
scene.
The University won over a for
mer vice presidential candidate
and recaptured the national
basketball spotlight.
It was a year with defini
tive highs and lows, one to be
remembered for better or for
worse.
