Kudos to ‘In the West’
The 18 student performances which make up the play “In the West” are amazing, the Avedon-inspired student photographs are compelling, and the music by LouAnn Petty and her two friends is beautiful. Don’t let the opportunity go by to soak up this unique experience; you don’t even have to drive out of town!

In the last issue of The East Texan, the article “Privacy waivers protect students” was an unedited version. The article should have read:
Like the registrar’s office, the counseling center also maintains records on students using their services. The center helps students in a variety of ways including academic counseling, career counseling and personal counseling to help students deal with relationship issues or mental health concerns.
Although the University’s policy states educational records do not include student counseling records, these are covered by state and federal law, according to Dr. Linda Clinton, counseling center director.
Students can request the counseling center release information such as medical records to parents or other individuals or agencies with a consent form that is good for 90 days, Clinton said.
“There is a form that we use if we feel that we need to get records that the student has that are out there somewhere else or we need to release records or we need to just notify somebody or we need to share information,” Clinton said. “It’s a send-to or get-from type of form.”
Also, in the story “University to sponsor Dallas trips,” the text should have stated the trips would cost “$5 plus the cost of DART fare.” We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.
Concerning Homecoming court nominee photos for the Oct. 11 issue of The East Texan:
We did not want to print these pictures in the spirit of fairness. Some of the photos submitted were not of high quality and would not have come out as well as others in reproduction. In the future, we are asking SGA to accept hi-res digital photos to help alleviate the problem.
