CONSENSUS EDITORIAL

Published on January 26, 2007 by The Sentinel

Take a deep breath, because the second week of classes is over and most students have slipped into their routines, including the Sentinel staff. Each year, our biggest challenge is the first issue. It is hard to come back from a long break and immediately work under pressure and deadlines; not to mention the stress that everyone experiences getting ready for a semester with new professors, boring textbooks, exams and papers. However, this year, the reward by far outweighed the work that we put into the first issue.

 As the staff perused the campus, we noticed that several of the Sentinel newspaper racks were empty. For that, we have only our readers to thank; and well, maybe some of those homeless geese.

 Many students pick up our newspaper just to scan it quickly over a cup of coffee between classes. Others read our newspaper to keep up with the campus news. Of course there are also the horoscope gurus or those who like to do a crossword puzzle during class. We do not care why you pick up our newspaper, we are just glad that you picked it up in the first place. As staff and students, we believe that staying educated with your campus life is almost as important as your homework. Being not only a well-rounded student, but citizen and taxpayer as well, involves being "in the know." Whether you read the AJC, the NY Times or the Sentinel, you need to be keeping up with current events, also known as history.

 We hope that the student body's positive response continues throughout the semester, as we continue to bring you all that is KSU.
