Abstract:
I've debated with myself for months now on whether or not I should write this article. I'm still not entirely sure that I want to, but it's Saturday, and I have nothing else on my mind, so I guess I'm reluctantly going with this. In the simplest way put, I don't think that the school newspaper gets a lot of respect....

This is a tough break for a lot of dedicated people. I don't want to knock any of the Student Activities staff members or their student leaders, they do a ton for the campus community, but if this isn't a sign of things to come I don't know what is.

You're going to lose your newspaper one day, Assumption College. Maybe not next year, maybe not the year after that, but something's got to be done before a publication that has nearly a 50 year history at the school goes straight out the window.

It's also funny that I can pick up the last issue of AC Magazine(along with those strategically placed donation cards tucked inside) and read a four page spread on the Mass Communications concentration and all of their All-Stars from the Class of 2010, but then read the next day that the second longest running publication on campus is going to get sliced and diced.

Somebody told me once that the field hockey team stuffs their wet cleats with copies of the newspaper. Looks like the College and Student Activities are about to do the same.
