The extraordinary bestselling Millennium Trilogy is being remade by Hollywood for an American audience. This might sound off-putting to people who prefer to see the original Swedish versions, but this one might be too amazing to pass. Director David Fincher, coming off a terrific streak (“Zodiac,” “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” and “The Social Network”) promises to deliver a thriller un- like any you've ever seen before. After losing his credibility in a libel trial, journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig) is recruited by billionaire Martin Vanger to solve the murder of his daughter Harriet, who disappeared 40 years ago. Vanger is certain that someone in the family killed her. Blomkvist brings in the girl that Vanger hired to do the background check on himself to be his assistant. Her name is Lisbeth Salander, a genius computer hacker with a love for mohawks, piercings, and eating disorders. Together they start investigating, and become targets themselves. Fincher has reteamed with cinematographer Jeff Cronenweth and music composer Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, making “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” one of the biggest Oscar frontrunners of the season.

We are especially sensitive to the power of words to harass and exclude some of us on the basis of our identities. We are issuing a call to action to all of us at John Carroll to work toward a more just and inclusive campus that engages all its diversity in the service of student learning. This commitment to inclusive excellence requires the practice of civil discourse on the John Carroll University campus in and out of the classroom. Universities have historically been sites for a free and robust exchange of ideas. That exchange, though, is meaningful only when all participants listen to one another openly and speak to one another respectfully. In such a community all members must feel and be welcome and valued and bystanders must be empowered to speak out against violations of these community values. There is no place for epithets or slurs in civil discourse since name-calling serves only to marginalize and wound some members of our community and to undermine mutual understanding. We strive to promote and ensure civil discourse in our classrooms, and we feel called upon to seek civil discourse throughout the campus. We are saddened and dismayed that so many members of our community feel excluded. Thus, we hope all of us will think before we speak to ensure that we are talking to one another in ways that are civil and respectful. Signed,

Editorial 17 The Carroll News www.jcunews.com Nov. 10, 2011 Editorial Students vote in favor of apathy

Last Wednesday and Thursday JCU held Student Union executive board elections. All but two positions were uncontested and a mere 897 students voted. The fact that the majority of the elected positions were uncontested shows a lack of commitment and interest in working toward making the University a better place. Since less than a third of the total undergraduate stu- dent body voted, this demonstrates complacency and disinterest in Student Union involvement. Members of Student Union need to step up, and ac- cept nominations because the student body is directly affected by the issues dealt with by JCU’s student gov- ernment. There are many students who participate in Student

Union, so they should be willing to assume more of a Cartoon by Emily Day responsibility in the organization. By not running for these elected leadership positions, they are shirking their duty. The effort of those who both ran and voted in this election is commendable and sets an example for students to follow. NOTABLE QUOTABLE Students often complain about problems in the Uni- versity community, yet when they get an opportunity to voice their opinion and elect the best candidates or run “I’ve lived for this place.
