Student newspaper to pursue name change

Whitman College's student newspaper, The Pioneer, has announced that it plans to change its name. This endeavor was launched by student leadership of the newspaper and was pursued independent of college leadership and without any formal action by the Associated Students of Whitman College. It appears that the decision about the name of the paper rests with a vote by the student government.  If you have comments or questions, please direct them to pioneer@whitman.edu or aswc@whitman.edu.
