Quote:The statue was erected in 1913 by the United Daughters of the Confederacy in McCorkle Place, where it looks out over Franklin Street, Chapel Hill's main street. It memorializes the 321 university alumni who died in the Civil War and another 1,062 who served in the Confederate Army.
It is more commonly known as Silent Sam because he carries no ammunition and cannot shoot his rifle. According to campus legend, Sam will fire his rifle only when a virgin passes by. So far, the joke goes, that has not happened.

That's not a diss -- that's university legend. It's a joke amongst UNC students....
