Staff Editorial: Administrative Forum
The Student-Administrator Discussion Forum held on Dec. 3 was successful, and the Newswire (er...Xaverian News) would like to commend the students, faculty, staff and administrators who participated.
Students were able to get tangible and real answers from Xavier’s important decision-makers, and most questions were directed at Academic Vice President and Provost Dr. Roger Fortin and President Fr. Michael Graham, S.J.
We initially were slightly disappointed that only 45 students (a mere one percent of the undergraduate student population) were in attendance, but the depth and length of the discussion made it clear that any more students would have compromised the quality of the event. [full article]

Awkward Ave.
I felt as though I should take some time to address a few awkward scenarios along with my own personal techniques of how I attempt avoid these uncomfortable situations. Based on my history tainted with awkwardness, you can take these techniques for what they’re worth.
I shall begin with the common case: there is always that person you see on a regular weekly basis; perhaps it is at the gym or maybe at the coffee shop the same time every morning. You know them, but you don’t know them, and it is highly doubtful that you know their name (unless you have done some successful Facebook stalking).[full story]

I hate women! Shame be to the uppity lass who thinks she can get a college education! Their hormones keep them from thinkin’ any logical thoughts! Shame! Shame!
Shame be to the men who think the women are good for anything ‘cept’n
birthin’ babies.
SHAME!
If women get start believin’ they’re equal to men, there’ll be no stoppin’ em from doing whatever they want to do.
