Michael Runyan, R.I.P. Inspiration from tragedy In a modern culture saturated with video games, movies and Internet videos of gruff, tough soldiers, we find it striking to see and hear some of the descriptions of 1st Lt. Michael Runyan at his recent memorial service. While Runyan possessed the bravery, bravado and toughness many often associate with the military, his primary personal qualities—leadership, compassion and friendship—were the touchstones of every con- versation of those remembering Runyan. From the stories of Runyan running alongside a fellow soldier through a grueling 19-mile run even though he had been disqualified from the race, to his daily encouragement of younger soldiers through kind words and honest dialogue, the testimonials of Runyan match our idealized version of an American serviceman. Of course, the message of every remembrance of Runyan has been to not merely understand his life pursuing his passions, but imitate it. For us college students, that means not just wasting a Friday night at Dana’s, but perhaps sitting around with a group of friends—discussing, laughing and enjoying each other’s company. It also means making the most of holidays with family or even that Saturday afternoon service trip down to Over-the-Rhine. So yes, this is a moment to remind everyone of how short life is. And maybe also to encourage everyone to step out a daily grind of shuffling between classes, the library and a weekend party to enjoy family, friends and life’s little pleasures.

By selecting this controversial phrase for its T-shirt slogan, SASA demonstrated that it was committed to a slightly higher advocacy goal — not only making people “aware” of the issue of on-campus sexual [email protected] assault but to get people talking about an issue that is especially marked by the silence of its victims. It is for this reason that the Newswire, though usually cautious about causes that seem to purposefully court controversy, endorses this effort.
