Corrections for Feb. 21, 2008
2/25/08
In The Scene's Oscar Preview, The Eagle mistakenly referred to "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" director Julian Schnabel as a French director. Though the film is a French production, Schnabel is American.
In "SG considers smoking rules," the article said that the new bill would create a new, special Public Safety smoking hotline. The bill actually expands the non-emergency hotline to include smoking concerns.
Because we received the revised bill at 12:30 a.m., long after we convened our editorial board, we overlooked updating our staff editorial, "Where there's smoke..." As a result, there were a number of errors in what we published. Contrary to the staff editorial, the revised bill does include provisions to add more ashtrays across campus and create a public relations smoking courtesy campaign. The revised bill also explicitly states that it does not advocate a campus ban on smoking.

It's pretty embrassing for a paper to say that their got so many facts wrong because they met before they had the correct ones.
It's a poor excuse for journalism. (Continued…)
