...Budget cuts are a reality, and we understand that the Quad must be affected; in an economic climate like this, we all must make sacrifices. As the university cuts back, however, it must ensure that options are in place to provide each undergraduate with a relatively equivalent experience.

From the perspective of the student body alone, these budget cuts will often negatively impact student life, but they must be endured as they come. Although we understand the necessity of these budget cuts, there...
