Editorial: Campus input needed in expected dining hall closure
When Baylor opens its newest dining hall, East Village, in the fall of 2012, students might have to bid adieu to one of the current dining halls. At a March 27 town hall meeting, Baylor administrators told a group of students the university might close an existing dining hall after East Village Residential Community opens in August. The two dining halls considered for removal, said Dr. Jeff Doyle, dean for student learning and engagement, are Collins and Memorial. Penland would more likely receive a renovation, and Brooks would not close because of its importance to the Brooks community.

Editorial: Smith took noble stand against Goldman Sachs
On March 14 Greg Smith publicly resigned as executive director of Goldman Sachs. In an
opinion piece that ran in the New York Times, Smith detailed his reasons for leaving the
investing giant, citing a decline in the company’s culture. According to Smith, when he began working for Goldman Sachs immediately after college, the company prided itself on camaraderie among team members and caring for clients.
