Students moved into their dorms Friday on the UNC campus, and the school's new chancellor was there to greet some of them. “I’m a freshman, also," said Lee Roberts, the former interim chancellor who was elected permanent chancellor on Aug. 9. The school has an incoming class of 4,700 first-year students. That figure doesn't include transfers. (WRAL.com)
