Nicole Gismondo Hello and welcome to the pages of the W’SUP, your one and only student newspaper, for the second time this year. In this edition, the editors have tried to bring you as much diversity as possible. On the other side of this edition you will find the Queer section for the first time ever. We’ve also introduced regular columns to give a voice to as many as eight disadvantaged equity groups. This edition has been produced by students for students. I sincerely hope you enjoy our little slice of the student voice. It’s been a pleasure working with you all. For more editorials, please see the reverse side of this edition.
