"The University deserves a
paper committed to: excel
lence in journalism and other
writing, a conscious effort to
present diverse opinions and
maintaining a sense of bal
ance." Publisher Dane
Claussen once wrote "We
don't think any newspaper
on campus has these goals,
and if one does, it doesn't
show."
The magazine was boosted
early in its first year when
the institute for Educational
Affairs, a New York-hased
foundation, awarded the
publication a $6,000 grant on
the merit of its work. Howev

Commentator failed to
receive any money from the
Incidental Fee Committee in
its first three years of produc

Aaron Knox, rose up against
this resolution, and the IFC
reversed its decision. IFC
Chairman J. Lauren Norris
commented, "I think it's trash;
I think it's poor journalism."
Where do the members of
the Commentator plan to go
now?
"Wo want to continue to
offer a bit of politics and a bit
of humor," Carson said. "The
students hear enough boring
news from CNN."
"We have four set goals for
this year.” Brennan Rounds
said. "We want to recruit a
younger, committed staff, we
need better equipment, we
need to come out on a regular
basis and we need to elimi
nate copy errors."
"With this many virtually
