Editor First of all, thank you for reading. I am committed to the production of this magazine because I am committed to providing an opportunity for the voices of Multnomah students to be heard. If the students aren’t reading, it is no longer an effective platform. I am also committed to keeping the Muse a place where difficult topics can be discussed in a way that is productive and challenging. As long as that precedent continues, Muse will be something I will be proud to present to my fellow students. The feedback both Matthew and I received from the first issue was incredible, both the good and the bad, we want to keep improving, we want to keep asking questions, we want to grow. This month’s issue covers a wide variety of topics, some that many may consider controversial. We like it that way. We’re not producing a magazine to elicit shock from our students but we do want it to be a catalyst for conversations and thoughts that may not organically come up. I hope you can read this issue and hear the honest voices of these students. I ask that you read critically, but with understanding that these are opinions and everyone is entitled to an opinion. It is preferable that we be a community that does hold a homogenous opinion of the world around us. Engage in these articles, think about them, and if you feel it necessary, respond. Remember, this is your platform.
