Letter from the Assistant Editor: 

Where is the art?

The campus of Franciscan University teems with young artists. Whether one sees a guitarist playing on a hill or a ragtag ensemble of many instruments, or walks into a common room to see the murals on the walls, the fine arts permeate this community.
    Why then are the opportunities to foster these talents nearly nonexistent? The lucky few who plan to use the piano, organ, or their God-given voice to make a living have the option of the Sacred Music major. But what about those who play strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion? What about the artists who want to refine their skills?

Letter from the Editor:

The news crisis in America has been growing and changing the last few decades, but it does not entirely revolve around emerging technology. Americans, especially young adults, simply aren’t following the news like they used to, a frightening prospect to many people.In the book “Tuned Out: Why Americans Under 40 Don’t Follow the News,” David T.Z. Mindich explains that young people today are not only far less likely to know about current events than previous generations, even with the rise of the internet, but that they are far less likely to care about their lack of knowledge. This disparity is leading to a lack of civil involvement, a lack of political and social understanding and a less informed nation.
