Staff Editorial: Blue > green
We don’t have a lot of hobbies besides putting this fine publication together, but one of them is attending Xavier basketball games.
So naturally, we decided to stay in town for a few extra days after finals to go to the Tennessee game.

I want to bring the fantasy world of Donkey Kong to life on campus. I want miniature sidekicks named Diddy. I want to ride ostriches or swordfish for extra points and I want eat bananas hanging in mid-air.
