editors' note
"oday's issue of The Statement showcases some of the best poems and
Ishort stories written by University students. The annual Literary Issue
receives dozens of submissions each year, from which The Statement's staff
of editors chooses its favorites. To the staff at The Statement, it's the student
voice that is most relevant today and our expression through verse and prose
ought to be celebrated. Today, we encourage you to take a break from march-
ing through slush and ice in order to attend monotonous, droning lectures
and appreciate some literature written not by ancient rimers or pompous
bards, but our peers.
