Raleigh, N.C. — North Carolina State University is asking all students, faculty, staff and alumni to wear Carolina blue Tuesday, March 18 in remembrance of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's student body president.

I only hope Eve had at least a small inkling of just how much people thought of her in her life. She must have been an extraordinary person. It sounds like the world is a lot worse off now, may she rest in peace.
