Comments

Thought the magazine was great – beautifully laid out, interesting and relevant articles. Recipe guide was a nice touch; fashion section could maybe be expanded a bit (though I dunno, maybe you all don’t want to step on Stitch’s toes).

My biggest (and really only) problem was this: WHAT is up with the news section? Why is there “news” in here that is months old? I know someone got mugged at Burger King IN FEBRUARY; I know DU had troubles with midget wrestling. Also, whyyyyy is “people don’t like bad smells” in the news section? Sounds like a Daily Northwestern headline. Basically, this section was the problem child, and I thought it weakened a publication that was, otherwise, of exceptional quality. Not meant to offend the contributors; just want to give my honest opinion.

Other than that, keep up the good work – overall a great first run.
