Parting thoughts

BACK IN his super-earnestbleeding-heart-on-his-sleeve days, the young Bono sang, "I can't change the world, but I can change the world in you" (this being years before he actually went out and tried to change the world), and, in a way, that's what I've tried to do in my year as ombudsman.

Speedy delivery, improved online edition

WELCOME aboard to the 115th staff of The Cavalier Daily, most of which was elected by its peers just over a week ago. CD elections are pretty fascinating proceedings that demonstrate the enthusiasm and vigor that embodies its typical staffers.
