Letter from the editor: the Online Pacemaker

Remembering 9/11

Today, more than ever, people are asking, “Where were you ten years ago?” Our News Editor attempts to provide some perspective.

Farewell Editorial: My time here hasn’t been a total waste

I came to the editorial board of The New Perspective late in my Carroll experience. It is one of my greatest regrets from my time as a student. I was never as involved with the paper as I could have been. In many ways that is the story of my time here. I didn’t take advantage of all the things Carroll offers.

Pet Peeves: This isn’t high school; let’s stay on track

I like to stay on track in class. In high school we used to ask our teachers stupid questions to get them to deviate from the topic and take up class time. Getting sidetracked was fun back then, when we had to be there. Now I find it quite annoying.
