Nov. 2 has come and gone, and honestly, it has not come fast enough. You see, unless you have been living under a rock for the past few months, pretty much since the semester began, the entire College has been abuzzabout one thing: the presidential election.
Country music is about more than melancholy lyrics of Lorrie Morgan and White Stetsons. It's also about the dancing that goes along with it. Everywhere today we see leaders, and we see followers. This is very clear at the College, not necessarily with people following the Student Body President's leadership, but with people following a fashion or a trend.
We, as students, trust the national news media as an information source: a clear lens through which we can see the world.

No college in the nation is more diverse than our own Muhlenberg College. Where else can you see so many different brands of designer clothing? Is there another college in America where you can see more shades of dyed or bleached hair? Can anyone name another institution where cultural diversity relates directly to what part of New Jersey you're from or whether you call a deli order a hoagie, sub or hero? I doubt you can because the College is the most diverse school in all the land.
