The Varsity would like to apologize for two mistakes made in last week’s issue. In the profile of Students’ Administrative Council (SAC) presidential candidate Mark Freeman, the second paragraph contained incorrect information. Freeman did not say that his high school political career was a failure.
Instead, the writer meant to say that Freeman failed in his goal to stay out of politics after high school, but actually ended up running for SAC president.
An additional mistake occurred in the pull quote, which should have been attributed to an article on Michael Andreae, whose profile appeared in the same issue. The Varsity sincerely regrets the errors, which were made during the page layout and copy-fitting sections of our production night.
During the SAC presidential election, The Varsity newspaper was cited by some student politicians as being an active player in the election. Some candidates for office have speculated that these mistakes were part of a campaign to discredit candidates in the election. Moves have been made to credit the paper with the success of some candidates, or the failure of others.
The Varsity regards these accusations as groundless.
