Description

The campus community has been rocked by an event of cross-burning. A large cross was burned into the quad with gasoline by two students, who have since confessed. It is interpreted as a racially-charged event, despite the students claiming it to be simple vandalism. The FBI was also contacted. Multiple viewpoints are expressed post-this event, including that idea that an action like this makes instituting a Black studies requirement all the more urgent. A commentary article looks at the [sic] 'forgotten minority' of LGBTQ students. Members of Dream House question the line of action taken by the Vice President to obscure the burned cross, once found. The 'Scores' computer virus affecting Macintosh computers, has been discovered on the Wooster campus. The Cleveland Orchestra will be performing at McGaw Chapel.
