News happens every day. The Kansan has produced 121 issues and 10 special sections since August. Therefore, it would be nearly impossible to rehash every story he Kansan has published this year. Instead, here are some highlights.
Masked men on campus One man, wearing a Guy Fawkes mask, recognizable from the movie "V for Vendetta" entered classrooms in Budig Hall and Wescoe Hall on the afternoon of Nov. 5. In some of the larger lecture halls, he interrupted classes to make statements in protest of sexual assault. He called for punishment of alleged assault perpetrators and threatened action. The man was arrested and plead not guilty to charges of disorderly conduct and obstruction of legal process. The man was joined by one other man, who was also protesting the campus' handling of sexual assault.
