The editorial notes Harry Moldovan resigns as president of the Student Council with weeks left before a new election. Vice-President Ian McGarr will assume presidential duties. The piece praises Moldovan’s dedication and records while acknowledging mixed reactions to his departure.

English, commercial, and various field calls show strong hiring trends across colleges.
A student signed into 120 math with no placement test and later tried to withdraw to 160. He faced a legal paper ordeal requiring four signatures from professors and the department head, all before 4 p.m. After three hours of hunting, he completed the switch and had to catch up on missed work. The anecdote ends with a riddle: if x equals y and y equals confusion, what does x equal?
