Errata
In last week's article on the world literature departments ("New world lit department considered"), the Thresher quoted Associate Professor of German Studies Christian Emden in a way which implied support of a merger between the world literature departments. However, it was not the intention of the Thresher to align Emden or the German Studies department with the supporting side of ?the debate. Last week, the Thresher incorrectly reported some of the grades from the Baker Institute Student Forum's "Grade the President" panel ("BISF event gives Obama 'C+'," ). Obama's initial score was a 3.07, not a 3.20. 2.90 is a B-, not a C+.
In last week's issue of the Thresher, Gabe Cuadra was not properly pictured in the BISF debate segment on page 3.
The Thresher regrets these errors.
