The announcement came Tuesday at the last BFC meeting of the academic year.

Indiana Daily Student Editor in Chief Rick Newkirk has had a good run. He has overseen some big news -- a restructuring of the University and a men's basketball coaching shakeup come to mind. But with the semester drawing to a close, Newkirk and his management staff are leaving us for the brave world of professional journalism -- I wish them well.
