“I’ve had [this hairstyle] for about six years now. I don’t really remember what even inspired it, probably just saw it somewhere and thought it was cool. It’s definitely a conversation starter, and I’ve met a lot of people through my hair. Many people ask me if I’ve ever thought of getting rid of it, and I have; but I’d miss it, so for the time being, I don’t see it going anywhere.”

The Emory Wheel was founded in 1919 and is currently the only independent, student-run newspaper of Emory University. The Wheel publishes weekly on Wednesdays during the academic year, except during University holidays and scheduled publication intermissions.

The Wheel is financially and editorially independent from the University. All of its content is generated by the Wheel’s more than 100 student staff members and contributing writers, and its printing costs are covered by profits from self-generated advertising sales.
