Wow, it's is nice to see a student newspaper editorial board come out against AI!

"The irony is that as Penn pours endless money and energy into AI advancement in its attempt to get ahead, the University is only quickening its own demise. AI cannot coexist with education — it can only degrade it"

Thinking about the 30th anniversary of the #OKCBombing brought back memories of being a freshman reporter during that time about an hour away, at Southwestern Oklahoma State University, close enough that we did do some news coverage of the campus response to tragedy.

I wrote a story about the nursing department's response that I remember writing well, especially of the short interview I got to do with a very tired nurse who had come back home to rest before heading back to OKC. My story is on page 8 of the issue. it definitely brings back memories of that time.
