COVER
The front page continues to look good. It grabs my attention and it's timely.
And once again there's news in the news section. The first two pages contain five stories, and no jumps. It's easy to read, and it's interesting to read.
LEADS
My favorite lead in this issue is on the Sara Jochems story. It has some color but still manages to tell me what the story's about.
As a former resident of Indiana, Corbin Smyth has a lot of things he needs to get used to: the Duluth weather, culture and his new position at the UMD Kirby Student Center director (KD).

I LIKE IT
The news section is impressive this week — six stories. As I read the paper I feel like the Statesman is plugged in and paying attention to what's going on. I feel like reading the paper is going to clue me in to events I missed this week at UMD.
