...past year we have spent more words on art-house one-time band-of-the-moment Lightning Bolt than on double platinum success Carrie Underwood. What explains this? The snobbery of music writers? The difficulty in getting promo copies of albums from piracy-paranoid major labels? The desire to inform our readership about new and artistically interesting music?

Even after Farid requested that a community advisory be sent out to inform the campus about her assault, the College did nothing. Dean David T. Ellwood ’75 of the KSG responded with an email to his students. It is troubling that no email was sent expressing the College’s “concern for the welfare” of Muslim students...
