That's funny, because, just yesterday I was discussing with a work buddy of mine what he thought of the new student newspaper. We were looking at the section of the five people who gave their opionion on the nickname. My buddy said, quote, "Yeah, I bet they went out and took the first five people who spoke up for the nickname!"
It's interesting how people can look at something and take away differing opinions, depending on their philosophical bent.
That said, I think the alternative newspaper is a nice move for the campus community! I wish it much luck!
