The economy—something I will probably never understand. I tend to leave that to my smarter, more numbers-oriented counterparts. However, I think that even I have a grasp on the fact that our state and federal economies are struggling. We have all seen how it is affecting the entire country, and I am sure we all have a personal scenario attached to the effects of a … Continue reading A day at the capitol: an answer to rising costs
Last time I checked, one of the core values of Gustavus is Justice. The article “Sexual assault reported on campus,” crushed that value to pieces. I am absolutely appalled that this article was published in the manner it was, and there is more than one reason for this. Reason number one: Jeff Stocco was interviewed before the hearing for the assailant in question was held. … Continue reading Re: Sexual assault reported on campus
I was pleased to see Annika Ferber’s informative article “New exhibit at Hillstrom Museum of Art shows familiar styles” in today’s issue of The Gustavian Weekly. The Weekly’s coverage of Museum exhibitions and programs is much appreciated. I would like to correct a small error in the article, however, in a quote attributed to me in the context of discussion of the liberal arts ideal. … Continue reading Re: New exhibit at Hillstrom Museum of Art shows familiar styles

The fact that Gustavus has a plan of action to follow in the case of a crisis involving students is often taken for granted by the average Gustie. Distant memories of the F3 tornado that tore through campus more than a decade ago serve as the sole reminder of how College officials are prepared to respond quickly to a disaster on campus.
