Writing on the Mall's Top 10 Most Read Stories of 2009

So, we’re doing two Top 10 lists here at Writing on the Mall.  Here’s the first, which is the Top 10 most read stories of 2009.  Here’s the list:

#10 – Follow-Up on the Death of Kean Weaver: Kean Weaver was a trustee for the college, who passed away in the Spring of 2009.  This article was mostly just a link to a story by the Marietta Times.

#9 -UPDATE: MC Student Faces Up To 10 Years for Alleged Stabbing: One of the bigger story lines this Fall was the case of Thomas Robison, who allegedly attempted to rob, then stabbed a Marietta resident.  He had followed the man from a downtown bar all the way up Pike St. to near where the man lived.  The man survived, but suffered injuries to his stomach and hand.  For those looking for an update, the case still hasn’t progressed much since he waived his preliminary hearing in October.  He faces felony charges with up to 10 years in prison if convicted.

#8 – Marietta College Campus Police Take Heat From Locals: What started out with a series of articles by the Marietta Times led to this article, which strayed off topic severely, and ended up not really going anywhere.  The Times series had been published as a precursor to Doo Dah Day, in which there are lots of violations and citations handed out.  Some questioned the need for basically having two police departments in one city.  The complains never really went anywhere.

Marietta College Statement on the Loss of Caleb White

Good afternoon,

I am very sorry to tell you that Caleb White, a senior petroleum
engineering major, died yesterday from injuries sustained in a
motorcycle crash.  He had been hospitalized for two weeks, and some of
his faculty and fellow students had had an opportunity to visit him.
Caleb was from the local area, and served in the Coast Guard Reserve in
addition to being a full-time student. I know each of you joins me in
sympathy to Caleb’s family and friends.  The loss of a young person so
full or promise is a difficult one for all of us, and I urge any of you
who need to talk to feel welcome to call the counseling center at
extension 4477.  We will let you know when we have information about
