Month: February 2011

America is the land of the free. This privilege of freedom allows us to express our thoughts without holding back. We all have a right to form opinions, and usually we aren’t afraid to share them.

There’s no doubt about it: Valentine’s Day sucks (for the single people that is). All the couples run around, proclaiming their love, exchanging presents, flowers, candy, etc., etc., etc., while we single people cry over a pint of Ben and Jerry’s, and watch chick flicks with crumpled up tissues covering the floor.

As I look over the drafts of pages to be submitted for publication, I notice quite a few of the same names reappearing. Although I applaud the pertinacity of our staff members, as this is a student published newspaper for a primary audience of students, it is my goal that the names that appear on our pages reflect the majors, activities, athletic affiliations, and personalities of the broadest and most diverse cross-section of campus possible.
