Nope. And I'm not a socialist. I'm a capitalist with a heart.

Bateman sucked so bad Student Review was killed by Bateman and his ilk. In the early nineties Student Review defined the social scene for the Honors crowd. It was distributed all over campus, but was run by the kids that hung out at the Maeser building. When Bateman came to town he replaced Dean Miller with Dean Cox.

Cox and Bateman kicked the Student Review off campus and emaciated the Honors Program. The honors program went from a strong social scene with its own defacto newspaper (the SR) to a network of honors classes and no centralized structure.
