Editor's note - The Phoenix

Editor’s note: This article was initially published in The Daily Gazette, Swarthmore’s online, daily newspaper founded in Fall 1996. As of Fall 2018, the DG has merged with The Phoenix. See the about page to read more about the DG.

In the past, the Daily Gazette has stopped publication at the end of classes, so today would normally be our last issue of the semester. This year, we are happy to continue providing you with up-to-date coverage of news, arts, and sports as well as campus events listings, Sharples menus, the weather, and more through the reading period and the first day of finals. Our final issue of the semester will be this coming Friday. Any campus events or other pertinent information should be sent to us no later than 8:00 p.m. on Thursday if you would like it included in Friday’s issue. As always, feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
