Diversity: more than a buzz word?

Editorial Board August 21, 2008
As Saint Louis University students step back onto campus this week, they are bound to notice more than a few new faces. Just as China has prepared to welcome thousands of international visitors for the 2008 Olympics, SLU has mobilized its recruitment forces in Asia to court more international students.

Brewery buyout a global wake-up call

Editorial Board July 17, 2008
Slighted. Betrayed. Abandoned. Disoriented. Uncertain. Ask any Cardinals-worshiping, Budweiser-drinking, die-hard St. Louisan how he or she feels about Anheuser-Busch's recent buyout by InBev, and that is what you're bound to hear. One month ago, a proposed takeover of Anheuser-Busch by international mogul InBev, a conglomeration of Belgian and Brazilian brewers, went public.

Burke’s controversial legacy

ADAM TAMBURIN July 17, 2008
Archbishop Raymond Burke, St. Louis' honored and controversial Catholic spiritual leader, is packing his bags and heading to Rome-for good. In his wake, waves of memories arise. Some are candid and thoughtful; others are borderline infamous. No matter how many parties he offended by sticking rigidly to Church principles, Burke must be commended for the challenges he gave his flock to digest.

Underage, in power and out of control

Editorial Board May 2, 2008
On Saturday, April 26, photographs of next year's Student Government Association Executive Board and some senators were e-mailed to several Saint Louis University officials and The University News. The photos show SGA members drinking alcohol at a "Voice for Progress" celebration party on Friday, April 25, and some of these individuals were minors.

Celebrating Schutzman

Editorial Board May 2, 2008
On New Year's Eve, Saint Louis University sophomore Brigette Schutzman, a cross-country and track athlete, was involved in an automobile accident, which left her in a coma and with a broken pelvis. Schutzman's doctors originally issued her a grim prognosis: a 1 percent chance of survival.

Disarming G.S.E.C.

Editorial Board April 25, 2008
Without the three-hour showdown during the Student Government Association's Wednesday, April 23, meeting, Saint Louis University may have welcomed a new club to campus. G.A.M.E., which stands for "Gun Awareness and Marksmanship Education," sought Chartered Student Organization status.

SLU athletics are looking up

Editorial Board April 25, 2008
Saint Louis University sports greeted new faces this year-not just on the court and field, but on the sidelines, in the locker rooms and in executive offices. Athletic Director Chris May, Men's Baseball Coach Derek Hendrickson and Head Men's Basketball Coach Rick Majerus are each finishing their first year at SLU.

Feeling blue for a greener SLU

Editorial Board April 18, 2008
D-. That's the grade Saint Louis University just received in a "Campus Greening Efforts,"study conducted by the College of William and Mary. The study measured student attitudes toward climate change and was split into two categories: Universities with "high" and "low" institutional support of campus greening.

Core beliefs

Editorial Board April 18, 2008
Jesuit universities, including Saint Louis University, use a foundation of core courses to introduce students to their missions. Fundamentals like math, language, science and history make up the requirement lists of each of the University's colleges. But this institution maintains two hefty requirements that many do not: It orders that students study both philosophy and theology in order to graduate.

Chaifetz adds something extra to urban oasis

Editorial Board April 11, 2008
In 1993, West Pine Boulevard became "the Mall," and the campus unified from Grand Boulevard to Vandeventer Avenue, and from Lindell Boulevard to Laclede Avenue. Saint Louis University's reputation as a Midwestern, commuter school came to an end; its ascent to B-List U.

Making space for the mission

Editorial Board April 11, 2008
At Saint Louis University, space signifies status. A space on campus-whether a dorm room, a classroom, an office or an event location-is a declaration of backing, support and encouragement. That's why designs for a Gay, Lesbian, Bi-sexual and Transgender at SLU, however tenuous, are courageous and welcome.

No room in the end for SLU housing?

Editorial Board April 4, 2008
For three years, the pressure-cooker of overcrowded student housing has been steaming at Saint Louis University. This week, it began to boil over. After sign-up appointments concluded on Saturday, March 29, 219 SLU students were wait-listed for housing. They were instructed to regularly call the Department of Housing and Residence Life in order to try and snag anticipated openings for the fall.
