Redaction

I would like to extend an apology to the owner of Slayter Box 7408 for the submission that was printed yesterday, November 5th. Until this point in time we have trusted the student body to provide an accurate Slayter Box number if they do not want their name signed at the bottom of their submission. This is just a matter of ownership of your words and opinions. As managing editor I take full responsibility for the lack of ownership taken with the submission signed with Slayter Box 7408 since the author of the submission to "Listless in Lower Elm" did not choose to take ownership. The reason why "Listless in Lower Elm" didn't have a name or Slayter Box attached is because it was an entry created by editor Kaitlyn Grissom. The Bullsheet is trying out a new editing style including something called "Ask Bull" and we figured it would be clear that they were made-up articles by the nature of their (lack of) signature. I am sorry it was not clear. In the future we will be researching Slayter Box numbers to ensure this never happens again.

My sincerest apologies, Laura Masters, Managing Editor
