Check out the Web site for Tuesday, November 3, 2009 I breakin news and more. Volume 136, !ssue 10 A soggy, spooky Homecoming Wet weather, Hens' loss fail to dampen Saturday's festivities

Students and alumni alike swapped Halloween's orange and black for UD blue and gold on Saturday as thousands braved rainy conditions to root on the Blue Hens, catch up with old friends and eat, drink and be scary. A crowd of 20,639 was on hand to witness James Madison University defeat the Hens 20-8 in a game that saw quarterback Pat Devlin sacked eight times and the offense never reach the endzone. Still, UD spirit never wavered, as costumed fans cheered on the home team. Two robberies in Newark Saturday night tainted the festivities, but overall, police reported one of the least problematic Homecomings in recent memory, as most students dispersed from the tailgate when asked and police made few arrests.

Dear readers,

Last week, I had the once-in-a-lifetime chance to visit the New York Times newsroom in Manhattan. As part of a field trip for my Global Media and Politics class, my class­ mates and I took a tour of the newsroom and met with a for­ eign affairs editor and members of the Times' editorial board. Few places represent journalism better than the Times' building. One of the most-read and most-respected news organizations in the world, the.paper is one of very few to still have foreign bureaus around the world. From the six-story newsroom in the 8th Avenue sky­ scraper, the paper's journalists print stories that are read in cap­ itals around the world. And from a 13th floor conference room, the Times' editorial board writes editorials that often affect policy in those very capitals. That's the power of journalism - it literally can change the world. That's why, on a much smaller scale, of course, we at The Review spend so much time in a cramped office in Perkins Student Center putting out the paper each week. Many say print jouri:talism is dying. Maybe that's true (even though I still have faith that there are enough people who enjoy sitting down with a newspaper more than with a com­ puter). But, journalism, in whatever form, is not going any­ where.

Faithfully yours,

Josh Shannon, Editor in Chief

Money stolen from house on Cleveland Avenue A21-year-old male residing on East Cleveland Avenue had money stolen from him between 1:00 and 1:30 am. Sunday, Cpl. Gerald Bcyda of the Newark police said The victim returned home with cash he had earned that night at his job and placed it in his room. The victim's roommate, who was at home sleeping, heard footsteps on the third floor but thought it was the victim, Bcyda said The unidentified suspect entered the room wear­ ing what appeared to be a Halloween costume, and the vic­ tim's roommate escorted the allegedly intoxicated suspect out of the residence. Later, the victim returned to find the window on the third floor open and the money from his room missing, Bcyda said The suspect was described as a white male, 5 feet 10 inch­ es to 6 feet tall with an average build, 150 to 160 poWlds and wearing short pants, suspenders, no shirt and a green hat
