LETTER from the EDITOR


Dear Readers,

Hello, and welcome to issue 5!

I hope you all had a very happy Valentine’s Day and celebrated love with the people you hold closest to your heart. Having the privilege to love someone is such a gift, and any opportunity to celebrate love in the many ways it comes is such a beautiful thing. I am a person who will text my friends that I love them unprompted on any given day, so needless to say Valentine’s is one of my favorite holidays. 

Speaking of Valentine’s Day, campus was filled with love this week. Between themed bake sales, candy grams, crocheted flowers and everything in between, there was something going on just about every day the past week. Even Provisions got in on the fun, setting up a little Valentine’s market for students to purchase chocolate and stuffed bears. For what was an exhausting, stress-filled week for many, it was nice to see the love on campus bringing some smiles to student’s faces. 

While this issue may not have a ton of Valentine’s specific content for you, I can promise you each story was edited and written with love and care from our staff. In news, we discuss proposed changes to the MU block schedule coming spring 2026 and SGA’s mid-semester appointments for their empty positions. In features, we cover MU’s resource fair and Kappa Delta Pi’s Literacy Alive event. In A&E, we cover a new Grammy award-winning  faculty member for music as well as a Valentine’s themed Jasper Jams. Lastly, in sports, we cover the men’s basketball game against St. Peter’s and provide a Games of the Week update. We hope you’ll check it all out! 

Until next time,
