This is the last issue of The Knox Student for the year, and what a crazy year it’s been! “Campus Discourse” became the official 2008-2009 catchphrase of the year, because we just couldn’t stop yelling at each other. We at TKS consider this to be a good thing, within respectful bounds, of course, but we’d like to remind the campus that all our shouting will have been for nothing if we forget ...

I’m extremely glad that some of the top brass at TKS finally decided to show their true colors through a front-page article on ‘gender equality’ and through an op-ed article about ‘resisting’ Campus Security and the administration — it makes it that much easier to counter arguments when your opponent isn’t trying to hide behind fake walls of impartiality. I’ve been sitting and watching the political and social climate on campus this year ...

What about those indicate that he is not concerned with how ...

My interest has significantly increased this term, and during the last month, I looked forward to every edition of TKS, whether it was to read coverage of Ashcroft, someone's column, excellent performing arts coverage, or the flunk day issue.

Last week’s TKS article concerning the current CFA landscaping project [“Out with the old, in with the new”] warrants clarification. While it's true that the Campus Environment Committee endorsed the project, we did so only with many reservations and suggested alterations. In fact, CEC had only 90 minutes to study the plan. The same was true for the admissions office, which had similar concerns. That said, we were told that $15, 000 - 30 ...
