The Southwestern is the student newspaper of Southwestern Oklahoma State University. It is published every Wednesday during the fall and spring semesters, except during holidays and finals week. Students in the editing class serve as section editors, and students in the news gathering and reporting class serve as writers. The editorial board meets every Wednesday at 2:00 p.m. in the journalism lab, Campbell 211. The Southwestern encourages comments from the student body, faculty, and administration in the form of letters to the editor. All letters must include a name for consideration; however, the name may be withheld upon request. The opinions expressed within signed editorials are the opinions of the writ- ers; the opinions expressed in unsigned, boxed editorials are the opinion of the staff. Neither is necessarily the opinion of the university administration, staff or faculty.
