First, and perhaps easiest to write off as chance oversight, is the misspelling of names and titles. The Crimson's plea that it is impossible to be perfect under tight deadlines with volunteer reporting might seem to hold water. However, some cases are harder to excuse. James T.L.

Following it is "Barbarella," a plea to the space-faring sex kitten to save Weiland from his malaise.
