Errata
In the article "Non-major Humanities courses cut" in the Feb. 26 issue, the Thresher reported that all Humanities courses not directly related to a major would be cut next year. Instead, just two pre-professional journalism courses, HUMA 250: Writing for Print Media and HUMA 251: Typography and Design, will be cut. No other courses are slated to be cut at this time. In the article "Tuition rises 5 percent due to endowment losses" in the Feb. 26 issue, the Thresher reported the total for tuition, fees and room and board for 2010-11 would increase to $48,500. Tuition will actually only increase to $45,500, which is $3,000 less than the Thresher reported.
The Thresher regrets these errors.
