letter from the editor

This has been a historic last few months, not only for our nation, but also for our local community. This recent election was a whirl of chaos and wonder with record voter turnouts overwhelming the polls, our community stood up for more than just candidates they supported.

In this issue, we wanted to focus on how people in our community have been involved locally, culturally, and politically. Just walking around campus the last few weeks has shown dozens of students working to register voters, and others were utilizing their free speech rights on the plaza while regular “Joe Six-Packs” were waving signs from street corners.

We want to hear what you have to say, too. Check out our post presidential election questions and let us know what you thought on Nov. 5, the day after election day. Tell us what you thought about our cover story on the issue of abortion.

In other news, College Avenue leaped over a major hurdle in September. We are now able to give our homeless publication permanent residence. Ladies and gentlemen, we have magazine racks. The 51 new metal racks will house thousands of copies all over campus. We will also continue to distribute our publications off campus.

Also, I’m very proud of our staff. They have worked their butts off to produce this issue for you, our readers and we hope you’re pleased. We appreciate our dedicated readers, and hope you stay tuned for our continual efforts to increase the quality of our publication. It has been amazing watching our magazine grow and I could not be more thrilled to be a part of it.

We look forward to hearing all of your feedback. Good luck for the rest of the semester.

Peace and love,

Makayla Braden
