Letter from the editor

Posted on 24 September 2008 by Remington Tonar

Thanks for logging on to TheWarrior.org the website of Marquette’s independent news source. Our cover story for this issue is about an awesome program that the University has, which allows older alumni to return to their Alma Mater and audit classes, helping them be the difference at every stage in their life. This program is a perfect example of how Marquette strives to offer the best for students and the community, and as such we should attempt to return the favor by always behaving in a manner that reflects the great school that we attend. On campus, or off, students need to be more conscious of their behavior, especially when intoxicated.

Also in this issue is a great point-counterpoint editorial on the recent government bailout of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, a debate that anyone concerned about the unstable economy should find relevant. If you don’t know much about the nuances of this crisis, you may also want to take a look at the Finance column in the News section, where Jacob Jasperson provides some tips on how you can help keep the economy stable.

Regular readers will notice a significant change in the News section this week. Joseph Schuster, formerly The Warrior’s MUSG reporter, will no longer be writing for us in that capacity. Mr. Schuster was recently appointed to MUSG, and as such Molly Petitjean will be replacing him on the MUSG beat. On that same note, I would like to thank everyone who submitted letters to the editor in response to Joseph’s article in the previous edition of The Warrior. It is heartening to see the level of dialogue that Joseph’s articles have created, as it is this type of discourse that ultimately makes us more informed and aware students.

In addition, I would like to draw your attention to Cathleen Bury’s article on John Tefft, the United States’ ambassador to Georgia, who is a Marquette University alumnus. Cathleen was in contact with the ambassador’s office, and had scheduled an interview, which unfortunately had to be cancelled due to an emergency meeting between the ambassador and NATO representatives. The article is still very informative and definitely worth reading.

Tom Klind joins us in this issue as our Religious beat reporter and Catholic columnist. In this edition, Mr. Klind reviews and responds to the latest book by controversial professor, Dr. Daniel Maguire, who was reprimanded last year by Milwaukee Archbishop Timothy Dolan for publishing teachings contrary to established Catholic doctrine.

On a personal note, I would like to recognize Dr. Chris Miller, the new Vice President for Student Affairs, for his outstanding work at Marquette thus far. His predecessor, Father Andy Thon, was well respected and left big shoes to fill, and I am glad to see that the University hired a man capable of filling them.

Once again, thanks for visiting TheWarrior.org!
