By Sara Morrison & Matt Sienkiewicz

Correction

In the Tuesday, Sept 26 issue, President Bennet was quoted that he was opposed the police brutality art exhibit in "Sun unifies Wesleyan groups." He, in fact, is supporting it and allowing it to be shown. In the same article, "Day X," was referred to as the unknown day when Mumia Abu Jamal would be given another ritual, when this is the first day Mumia will apear in federal court. The Argus apologizes for these errors.
