Staff Editorial: Sounding off
Something we probably don’t tell you enough is that by no means do we consider the Newswire to be our paper. It’s your paper; the newspaper of all members of the Xavier University community.
This week, we were incredibly excited when our letters inbox overflowed to the point of us having to fork over the extra cash to put out an extra-large issue.
And since we feel like we’ve done our share of mouthing off this year, we’re going to sit back and let you sound off this issue.
As much as we love telling you what to think, we really prefer it when you think for yourselves.
Staff Editorial: Oops, we did it again (an April Fools issue, that is)

Crash course in Fashion 101
I may not have any more authority than the next person regarding fashion. I’m not a judge on “Project Runway” nor do I have an in to Fashion Week in Paris or Milan.
However, I do pay a lot of attention to clothing and fashion. I have watched far too many episodes of “What Not to Wear,” read Vogue and People Style religiously and have spent far too many hours shopping online. I would also like to think that being from Chicago keeps me updated on current trends. [full article]
Wednesday
Since there are only two short weeks left of Calendar City (I know, citizens, I know...be strong...), I have decided to come clean on a number of deep dark secrets that I’ve been holding back for years...
First of all, I am not a vegetarian. I always say that I am. Go ahead and ask me next time you see me on campus. I will tell you I’m a vegetarian. I am lying. Shortly after the conversation I will likely eat something that used to be alive. I guess I always figure that as long as I think I’m a vegetarian and am not eating meat at the time you’re asking me, I can consider myself a vegetarian.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
