From the Desk of the Editor

Welcome to the third installment of the S&B Magazine!
This month, we’re celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Faulconer Gallery, along with examining a host of publications—from the most established to the newest—that have been serving the campus community with equal fervor. In our Comments section, Asia Sample’s comic Lucerito offers a light-hearted look at the Grinnell community, a teasing tone balanced with the more sober reflections of student and professor on the role of the liberal arts today.
In our first full year on campus, the magazine’s identity is not all so obvious. Yeah, we have been here before, but we are not quite second years. Maybe we’re more like transfer students—we’ve got some solid experience under our belts, but, in a lot of ways, we’re still learning the ropes. And we’re working on developing a solid support group to help us achieve our hopes and dreams, goals and aspirations. We need all the resources of the Grinnell community.
As a supplement to the newspaper, we provide a wider forum to discuss pressing issues and communicate creatively. We’re always looking for feedback. If you have questions, comments, ideas, criticisms, witticisms, reach out to us. We may look and feel a little different from our newsprint brethren, but the [newspapr] e-mail account serves the same purpose.
