At the end of every academic year, seniors graduate and new people prepare to join the Grinnell community. These springtime evolutions include new editors taking over the S&B. Becoming an editor-in-chief comes with a plethora of responsibilities, one of which is ensuring that the campus community is heard.

While we as editors try our best to focus on the most pertinent stories every week, we can only do so much. Through debate and eventual consensus we arrive at the stories we publish. Unfortunately, however, that debate is only among a handful of editors, and often leaves important voices unheard.

The S&B is not only student-run, it is student-owned through the contributions it receives from the student activity fee. So since you already own the S&B, you may as well take active ownership of it. We would like to invite the entire Grinnell community to voice their opinions on everything the S&B does from stories to photos to the layout of thesandb.com.

Without your opinions, we can only do so much, so please do the right thing.
