Weekly Briefing: What follows the midterm madness?
Is it just me or was that Fall break over in the blink of an eye? Maybe it’s the senioritis setting in, but I could have used more of a break. At any rate, here is what’s featured in this week’s issue.
This week we covered several events held by the Office of Diversity Initiatives, including one upcoming that will dive into the disproportionate criminalization of racial minorities in the LGBTQ+ community. Two members of our staff attended the Safe Zone training and our editorial board wrote about why it is essential.
Arts and Entertainment Editor Emma Watts attended a presentation by photography icon, Cecil Williams, who spoke about his work on documenting the South Carolina civil rights movement. She also pulled together a list of mid-semester self-care activities, based on a discussion that our staff had about their personal preferences.
News Editor Noelle Kriegel covered the tennis ball theft reported by former tennis team member, Alex Sklizović. He claims that the tennis balls, which were donated to the former team members, are not the first items to be stolen from the tennis office.
In a sports column, Sports Editor Michael Kuras expressed his dissatisfaction with the refereeing at this season’s soccer games. In separate sports news articles, Kuras covered the eventing team’s first match of the season and yesterday’s cross-country run.
That’s it for this week, Pacers. We’ll see you next Tuesday.
