Welcome to Campus VIBE.

For those of you experienced with the former Lifeline section, this might be new to you. But Campus VIBE is the new weekly section appearing in Central Michigan Life nearly every Wednesday.

While this issue is a little different, because we are focusing on registered student organizations, next week will be a little bit more toward what a normal VIBE is going to be.

If you turn quickly to page two, you will see a redesign with picks for the week, the top five singles, albums, movies and video games, among other tidbits of information.

I also would like to mention the rant section we have available for next week on page two. So if you have something you would like to rant about, whether it be about a public issue or an annoying roommate, send around 100 words to studentlife@cm-life.com.

But I want to address why Campus VIBE was created: the students. This section is focusing on what the students want and what they are interested in. So, in order for this to work, we need your help.

We need to know what you want to read.

So this is a call out to you, the reader, we need to know what you want. What kind of stories would interest you? What would you enjoy out of VIBE?

This section will hit many hot topics and subjects, and we will take a similar stance. We want to write for you to give an understanding of the days and times we live in.

We will be hitting some touchy subjects — that is for sure. So keep that in mind when you pick up each Wednesday edition of Central Michigan Life.

We have a new look, a new attitude and will be looking to continue the long-lasting tradition of good work. So while many things are a little different, things will very much stay the same, too.

So we want to hear from you. Don’t be afraid to send an e-mail, because that is exactly what we want.

If you think of something on the fly, throw it out there to us, it won’t be shot down but, rather, thoughtfully considered.

So with that said, send me an e-mail at studenlife@cm-life.com. And enjoy the new Campus VIBE.
