Komarow said the reporters in the area donned full protective suits to protect them from any damaging substances. Living with real troops in the Middle East gave Komarow insight and the ability to write about the realities of war. One reservation Komarow did have about the war in general, though, was that no actual reporter went with troops to rescue Private Jessica Lynch. The stories about Lynch are all wrong, Komarow said. That particular reporting underscores the value of partial observers. Komarow described his time as an embedded reporter as getting a soda straw view of events and his surroundings. He said many times it was States to piece the larger puzzle together working from Komarow and other reporters limited points of view. This fact stirred many questions from the audience regarding the credibility of journalism today. Komarow insisted that the journalists responsibility was to provide unbiased information. How the society interprets the information provided is what really matters. Today, killing the messenger is bringing on new grave realities, Komarow explained, in relation to the murders of and espereporters world-wid- e cially in the Middle East. Komarow said that while his life has never been threatened, he has known reporters who have been kidnapped or killed on the job.

Carras Holmstead, 28, a local financial professional, attended the lecture because of his interest in Harvard Business School It was informative and helpful to see the practical application of Christensens ideas on disruptive technology. I was surprised to see its broad reaching impact, especially in the areas of education and health care, two of the most pressing political issues in our country. Christensen is famous for his work The Innovators Dilemma and has since focused on help- ing companies recognize disruptive technologies in their respective markets. Christensen explained the disruptive technology theory by analyzing the maturation of the steel industry.

Correction for the Nov. 10 Forum It has come to our attention that the headline, Peer Mentors Help Addicted Students in the Nov. 10 issue is inaccurate. In a letter from Jeff Bell, a Westminster counselor, to The Forum he wrote, The title you chose unfortunately reinforced a myth. It is a myth that most college students who struggle withxtf desire clarity about their alcohol and other drug choices are usually addicted. It is also true that some students are clearly alcohol or other drug dependent The Peer Mentoring Program would not be appropriate for them as there are other programs that would better meet their needs. The Peer Mentoring Program is a prevention program. It aims to enhance students choice making skills and prevent students from making future choices with lasting negative repercussions. - . that was impressive. the aviation program, Larry Hemingway, director of aviation, was on hand to give tours of the flight school equipment.

The program ended with Alison Lewis telling her own story of how alcohol nearly killed her. Several people in the room were nearly in tears. She hoped that by telling her personal story that the truth about alcohol would hit a little closer to home. I thought that Alison speaking was really incredible and brave, said Heidi Krubsack. The overall consensus from the students who attended the program was that it was very informative and the pie was good. The resident advisers said they were happy with the success of the program. The turnout could have been better, but the involvement of the students was awesome, state-of-the-a- Continued from pg. 5 Contrary to the movies, vomiting shouldnt happen when you drink, said Short. Vomiting occurs when your body can no longer process the amount of alcohol in the system and so it tries to get rid of some of the alcohol in order to stop the body from shutting down. These signs do not necessarily mean that the person should be taken to the hospital, but they should definitely not be left alone. The majority of people who die from drinking do so because they choked on their own vomit. This is something that is completely preventable. Alcohol has been a large issue in the media on college campuses lately, said Short, because of the number of deaths that have come from drinking too much. However, many of those deaths could have been prevented. He told of five deaths in Colorado over the past year. He described two of these deaths that could have been prevented if someone would Sif IA 1 1 fc? !I 14 S J. j ,$ iJ SE) 5 1 Westminster.es said Cortney Seggermann.
