Here's the offending point-of-view phrase:
- an impressive four out of five students compete in some form of varsity, club, or intramural sport.

[edit] Opinion?
Are there objective criteria for being listed in the "Selected Faculty" listing? Or should this list be titled "Some Faculty" members?
Selected Faculty
- Dr. Thomas Banks - Professor of Classics, Chair of the Classics Department
- Dr. Lendol Calder - Associate Professor of History, Chair of the History Department, teaches in the First-Year Honors Program, Foundations
- Dr. David Crowe - Associate Professor of English, Chair of the English Department, teaches in the Sophomore Honors Program
- Dr. David Dehnel - Professor of Political Science, Chair of the Political Science Department, prefers to be called "Dave"

No . . . as far as I can tell, there were no selection criteria. It appears that the faculty named are, mostly, involved with the college's Honors Program and Classics Department. I was reluctant to strike the list - it's not harmful or misleading - but I agree that some more-neutral term is worth using in the title. I'll switch it to "some," for now.
[edit] Copyrighted text
I reverted the article because I think that David-snowball may have inserted a large amount of copyrighted text in this edit. I am not suggesting that he was intentionally violating copyright. I think he just did not know. I have had difficulty finding the pages that most of the text came from because the college appears to have removed or moved a lot of their web pages. However, the "music" content came from here. It is a Google cache because the page is no longer online. David-snowball's contributions can be seen here. He has uploaded five pictures from the college's website (his only other edits are to this article). He claims that they can be used freely, but I have not found that on their website and the music page above has a copyright notice. It would be rather unusual for them to do so, but not unbelievable. Because all of the text was added at once, some of it confirmed to be from the college's website, and he uploaded five pictures from the college's website, I think that the rest of the text came from there too. Unless the copyright status can be confirmed, I think that the article should not include the text and that the pictures should be deleted. -- Kjkolb 10:10, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
He's a professor here, and the chair of Augie's Speech major, so I assume he would know. Loque
