Welcome back Blue Hens, and welcome to the all-new look of The Review. Every page is now in color, allowing us to better showcase the talents and efforts of our photo and design teams. Our appearance—both online and in print—will continue to evolve and improve over the course of the semester with the help of our brand-new layout edi­ tors and web design teams. We are also introducing a new (as of yet, unnamed) weekly comic strip feature in our Mosaic section, created by a rotating staff of student cartoon­ ists. As far as our coverage goes, the two of us—and the rest of our editorial staff—re­ main committed to the reputation for honesty and excellence we established as a publication over the last few years. We look forward to continuing the conversations we’ve begun and encouraging new dialogues. More than anything, we aim to represent you all as a university community and provide you with coverage you will find alternately appealing and infuriating. If we as a newspaper are to achieve anything, we need your support and engage­ ment. Follow us on social media and read our Tuesday print edition along with our website. Share and comment on posts to foster conversation online. Send letters to our editorial section and spread your thoughts in a more traditional way. Email staffers, or stop by our office in the Perkins Student Center West Annex and tell us about your story ideas. As you can see, we take our work—as small as it may seem—seriously. We hope you do too.

According We look forward to hearing from you. to the NBC News/Marist polls released Sunday, voters—both among Democrats and all those registered —in two key early voting states, Iowa and New Hampshire, favor the Vice President over supposed front-runner Hillary Clinton. Perhaps as election season progresses we could see Joe become a real possibility for the Democratic nomination. Of course, he may not run at all, but let’s hope Joe’s frank style—even if he decides not to run —will influence the candidates in the Democratic race.

Davidson said about 4,000 student survey respondents’ preferences in food, novelty giveaways and activities helped to determine the content of the programming. Working with students also helped those in charge at the University Student Centers understand what students would enjoy, she said. Upcoming Perkins live attractions include magic, music, comedy and a service-oriented painting party—all free of charge. Many Trabant Now events have entrance fees and will be put on by campus organizations. “The University Student Centers will be partnering with Division of Student Life departments, a few departments outside of Student Life and student organizations who either have annual events on Saturday nights or are passionate about being in the program,” Davidson stated in an email message. Due to excited feedback from student leaders, Davidson said she predicts that the turnout for the events will be similar to what was seen on Friday. She said she believes students had a large need for the programming, whether they knew it or not. She said the programming will no longer have grant funding after the fall semester, and the likelihood of receiving it again is low. However, Student Life could fund the programming going forward. It depends on students’ reception, she said. “If students are excited about this program and want it to continue, they need to come every week,” Davidson said.
