This particular article has been a bit of a long time coming at this point. Remember about a week ago when I was sort of live tweeting about the College Republicans club watch party for the State of the Union address I covered? https://twitter.com/jdrochlin/status/958522572882112512 Well, the piece I wrote with Brandon about the address is …

This issue of the Daily Titan is actually a pretty huge accomplishment all around, for every desk that was involved. At the News Desk, my co-editor Sarah and I put together a big three-story package following up further with the altercation involving part-time anthropology lecturer Eric Canin.
