A caption for a photo corresponding with coverage of a climate change rally on page one said the goal of the international event was to reduce carbon emissions to 350 parts-per-million. The goal of 350 actually represents carbon concentration level, not emissions.
The headline for an article regarding budget cuts to campus organizations on page one read that the ASPC’s budget cuts hurt clubs. The headline should have read that college budgets cuts overall, not ASPC funds, have been negatively affecting on-campus organizations. ASPC’s budget has not been reduced and they are not conscientiously reducing funds to clubs due to the current economic situation.

5-C Students Are Disenfranchised by the CUC Budget Process
By TSL | Editorial We know that students do not have final control over 5-C budgets, and the drastic cuts that will be made in next year’s budget are likely to ruffle students’ feathers, no matter how much input is collected from students. Still, it is reassuring that the college’s administration and student government are interested in what students want and need, as evidenced ...
