EDITORIAL | Naming rights for sale What’s in a name? Tradition? We are all excited about the new residence hall and accompanying dining facility. Some on the Newswire staff have been very anxious to see the end of construction sounds outside the Commons and Husman Hall. More to the point, we all agree the individual towers being named to donors and a central Jesuit name for the hall itself allows the University to make money as well as retain its uniquely Jesuit identity. We think a building on campus with a Jesuit name would be a welcome change of pace. Really, after the name of the University, what do we have? Conaton, Smith, Cintas, Gallagher, Husman, Kuhlman, Buenger, Commons—the only outlier is Alter, named for Archbishop Karl Alter of Cincinnati from 1950-1969. We’re all for the towers being auctioned off to the highest bidder; in fact, we’re up for auctioning off individual tables at the new dining hall—anything to lower tuition a little. But seri- ously, there are hardly any buildings that resemble a Catholic influence or Jesuit tradition, especially considering all the new construction. According to breaking news, Student Government Association and the Dorothy Day Center for Faith and Justice will collaborate on nam- ing options to present to students for a vote. Due to students knowing relatively little about prominent Jesuits not named St. Francis Xavier or St. Ignatius Loyola, this could get quite interesting. Either some to- tally ridiculous name, chosen at the whim of the students, will plague Xavier’s campus for years to come, or a relatively meek SGA insists on Letters to the editor bland and uninteresting cliché saints to name the new building.

Current members of the group include junior Rich Notter on the tenor saxophone, junior Joe Carriere on the piano, senior Will Washington on the trombone, sophomore Steve Kinney on the drums and freshman Anthony Notaro on the bass. The group changes a bit each year as new students come to Xavier or band members graduate. All of the group members are also part of the Xavier Jazz band, which sometimes provides sup- port for the Quintet when mem- bers are unavailable. “It’s definitely a collaborative effort between the two groups,” Notter said.
