[Editor’s note:] In last week's article, "SGA debuts new senate seat," Molly Goguen was paraphrased as having said enrollment numbers were lower than average, when, in fact, she was discussing the fact that enrollment numbers were down from last year's extraordinarily large incoming class. The Gatepost regrets the misrepresentation."
