Unfair Endorsing

I found the lead editorial from March 4 ("Leading the Pack") to be a bit misleading in nature. The editorial wishes to endorse a specific candidate for the office of Chair of the Judiciary and Honor Committees, but the editors failed to speak with all representatives who have been elected (only speaking to those from some of the more contested representative races). It is also important to note that elections for the Curry School were not yet complete, and The Cavalier Daily's attempt to support a specific candidate is extremely premature from a time perspective.

Juvenile delinquents

All tied up

Tilikum recently killed his trainer Dawn Brancheau at Sea World, resulting in the third fatal incident that the killer whale has been a part of during his 25 years trapped in his little pool of water.

Statistically significant

According to "Honor reviews exam discussion policies," from the Feb. 22 edition of The Cavalier Daily, Andy Bean - the Commerce School's representative on the Honor Committee - told the Committee of a professor who recycled 15 questions from a midterm exam on a final exam.

Broken barriers
