Staff Editorial: Veterans Day, ‘all but forgotten’
Each year as the November weather takes hold, Americans remember our military heroes whose sacrifice and service enable us to enjoy countless freedoms in this great nation.
Yet here at Xavier, Veterans Day passed all but unnoticed, largely overshadowed by 1-in-4 Day, which, though addressing the important issue of sexual assault on campus, distracted campus from that spirit of remembrance.
We say “all but unnoticed” because the Xavier ROTC program did honor fallen Xavier graduate Capt. Matthew C. Mattingly in a solemn and touching memorial dedication. Sadly, the event was away from the heart of campus, and though the small gathering of about 40 people undoubtedly made the dedication more intimate, it’s a shame that more students did not participate.

Visit local record stores and shake up your music
The music industry was dealt a harsh blow in late 2006 when Tower records closed all of their U.S. stores. The decline of music sales reflected the growing trend toward illegal downloading and a preference of digital over physical product.
With the advent of iTunes and other digital musical sources, independent record stores struggle to keep their heads above the waves of liquidation. However, some local stores refuse to quit. [full story]

‘Power Plays’ to be wild ride
This weekend, Xavier Players presents its fall studio production of “Power Plays.” The show, directed by professor Cheryl Couch, is a set of three zany, one-act plays by veteran comics Elaine May and Alan Arkin. The play’s absurdist, sketch-comedy humor is a tribute to both writers’ Second City beginnings. [full story]
