The County Election, George Caleb Bingham, 1851

The Skidmore News published on Friday has a good article about the murky waters surrounding the election of this year’s Senior Class President.  The election, held last April, was contested on grounds of voter coercion and resulted in the disqualification of incumbent Mia Guajardo.  SkidNews has the full story here.

The oft-criticized Skidmore News is having its first general meeting of the semester to discuss assignments and story ideas. SkidNews, which has had some trouble finding student support in the past, is looking for students interested in journalism who are willing to share thier opinions, as well as artwork, comics or editorials, with the campus. Meetings are held in the newsroom on the bottom floor of Case Wednesdays at 9pm. Snacks.

This is the perfect opportunity for all you folks over on the ACB talking about the shortcomings of Skidnews roll up your sleeves and get involved.

I’m not trying to start a journalism war or anything but a concerned tipster sent us an email today about how Skidnews refused to run the weekly “Ask the Sex-perts” column this year. Apparently, in the past, the Center For Sex and Gender Relations had written a column that would research and answer student submitted questions which had previously stumped the Center’s staffers. Anyhoo, Skidnews has supposedly declined to run the column this year citing its non-pertinence. I’m no Tom Brokaw but wouldn’t the fact that those questions were student submitted make them pretty pertinent? So what do you think folks? Skidnews, any comments?
