We are issuing an apology for publishing a guest column titled “OPINION: We need to change the stigma around sexual assault” on Oct. 20, 2022. This column was submitted by a guest columnist who is a Western student but is not affiliated with The Front or the journalism department. While the piece was tagged as “opinion” on our website, we initially failed to label it as a guest opinion piece in the headline. We take responsibility for publishing it, and we did so understanding that the column presented complex and even offensive ideas.
The leaves are orange and the lattes are pumpkin; it’s officially spooky season!About 60% of Western students are enrolled in at least one face-to-face class this quarter. In-person classes are nice, but in this newsletter, we’ll see how simply getting to campus comes with its own set of challenges. For students who rely on public transport to get to campus, overcrowding has become an issue this quarter. Erik Anderson and Max Larson dig into the issue and why there’s no easy fix. Things aren’t much better for car commuters; There were more than a dozen car prowl incidents at the Lincoln Creek Park and Ride in the first two weeks of the quarter. There were also at least 11 bike thefts on campus. If it weren’t so damn rainy all the time we’d suggest everyone just walk. In city news, house shows are back! Reporter Julia Kohut takes us inside the Bluebird house and talks with the owners about the challenges of running a DIY venue during the pandemic. Kai Uyehara reports from an immigration reform rally in Mt. Vernon.

An anti-abortion demonstration in Red Square on Oct. 6 drew a large group of students who countered the demonstration with their own signs and chants. The protest, organized by Christian, anti-abortion nonprofit Tiny Heartbeat Ministries, began around 12:30 p.m. in front of the Humanities Building in Red Square. There were about a dozen anti-abortion protesters. They carried graphic signs claiming to show aborted fetuses at various stages in development and quickly drew a crowd.

This piece was submitted to The Front by faculty who will form the new Environmental Studies program in Fall 2021.
