ited to issues surrounding tuition, though.
According to Wynne, it’s crucial to have
members of each major, athletic team, and
student organization in attendance for equal
representation.
“If there was a proposal for more money
for the nursing program, it’d be really good if
a nursing student went,” he said. “That leaves
a good taste in their mouths and lets them
know about it [first-hand].”
Transportation to the event will be pro
vided and is scheduled to depart at 8:30
a.m. from the Warwick Center. Interested
students are asked to arrive by 8 a.m. A
catered lunch will be served. Any questions
regarding Student’s Day or reservations for
the trip may be directed to Wynne via e-mail

reporting, but it is possible to check one’s own
bias. Realize “what is true, important, and real
to you, then challenge yourself to recognize
that no one has a monopoly on the truth,” said
Beinart.
For the public, “the only way to filter bias is
to read as much as possible,” said Goldberg.
Beinhart identified the two stereotypes that
he believed were the source of much of the
bias in the press. The idea that “Republicans
are mean but tough while Democrats are nice
but soft... and that Republicans are dumb
but honest whereas Democrats are smart but
dishonest,” have constantly been reiterated by
both sides of the press, said Beinhart.
Goldberg was of the opinion that these ste
reotypes, more often than not, tended to favor
the liberal point of view, especially in areas
regarding the environment, abortion, gay
rights and affirmative action. Most recently,
an obvious example of the “liberal media
bias” was the amount of attention that was
given to Bush’s military record as opposed to
that of Kerry’s.
Beinhart agreed that liberals did have the
advantage in most areas of politics. However,
currently two pressing political issues, nation
al security and the economy, clearly placed
the conservative agenda in a more favorable
light.
Dr. Weber then asked the two panelists if
there was such a thing as objective media, and
how much bias is acceptable? The two panel
ists agreed that essentially there is no such
thing as objective reporting. Nonetheless, the
Ideal of objectivity should not be ignored
because it reminds journalists to be aware
of their own biases. Additionally, as long as
a journalist is upfront about their beliefs and
opinions there is nothing inherently wrong
With some bias in the media.

from HOUSING pagel
Brad Reid, the Director of Housing and
Residence Life, believes that incoming fresh
men have more of a need to live on-campus
than upper classmen.
“The younger the student, the higher the
need to live on campus. A student coming
straight from high school to the university
needs the experience more,” Reid said.
As in past years, sophomores will receive
housing priority over freshmen and will
receive first pick of the housing on campus.
The new housing policy is not expected to
be a permanent change. For the 2006-2007
school year, a new apartmept-style complex is
being buih to house 536 more beds. The new
space should allow more space for upperclass
men to live on campus.
Many students are not satisfied with the
new housing plan. Senior Marquita Lewis,
who has lived on campus for four years, does
not agree with the new policy.
“I have friends who are in jeopardy of
finding new housing or going to community
colleges closer to home because of the loss of
housing. If I am going to give my money to
live on campus, I should be able to,” Lewis
said.
The Office of Housing and Residence Life
is willing to work with any juniors or seniors
who have unique circumstances for which
they need to live on campus. Reid encour
ages these students to contact him about their
housing situation, which he will review on a
case-by-case basis.
Other juniors and seniors who had hoped
to live on campus are encouraged to con
tact Commuter and Non-Traditional Student
Services for help finding off-campus hous
ing.
