Dear Readers, 

Hello, and welcome to issue 12! 

This week marks our second to last issue of 2024. I want to thank you all for sticking with us through this rollercoaster of a year. It has truly been one-of-a-kind, and I cannot thank you all enough for supporting us at our highs and especially, our lows. I will undoubtedly have more reflections to share next week, but for now, I will leave it at this.

Both our men’s and women’s basketball teams are once again in season, bringing a new energy to athletics on campus. Last Friday marked one of the biggest games of the men’s season on MU’s campus, Battle of The Bronx. The Jaspers came out victorious against Fordham after an incredibly fought game. The women’s team will take on the Rams tomorrow evening, so stay tuned next issue for more on that. Keep up to date with all things athletics in our sports section!

For the rest of issue 12, we have another packed issue for you all. In news, we are pleased to formally introduce to you the new interim president, Frederick Bonato, Ph.D. We are thrilled to welcome him to campus and hope you will be able to learn a bit more about his plans for the campus community. In the rest of news, we feature an on-campus talk with students about the US presidential election results and Her Campus’ MU chapter making a comeback at the end of fall semester. In features, we talked to student veteran’s about what the Veteran’s Day holiday means to them and spoke with students in attendance at Battle of The Bronx’s tailgate event, Fall Frenzy. In A&E, we have a Jasper Jams with cast picks from MU’s upcoming Players performance and a Book Nook review on “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo”. Lastly, in sports, we cover Battle of The Bronx, the men’s and women’s home opener games and a recap of women’s soccer’s successful season. Be sure to check it all out! 

Until next time,
