I was a little confused after reading an article about CVS possibly moving to High and Lane in place of Arby’s and Short Stop. The word “extinction” was used, as were the phrases “local vendors” and “mom and pop shops.” Isn’t Arby’s a national chain? How will the loss of Arby’s effect the local character of campus?I’ll tell you how. Nada. Not a bit. However, the Lantern has decided that Campus Partners is some sort of evil conspiracy bent on the ruination of the off-campus area. So regardless of the facts, regardless of whether or not Campus Partners is even involved, the Lantern must find a way to spin the story toward their editorial goal.Hopefully the next time the Lantern publishes an article on off-campus development they’ll forget about their Orwellian nightmares and stick with objectivity.
