In a News Brief in the previous issue of the Ampersand, the last line was misinterpreted by some as implying that Eugene Wong is homophobic. While Eugene claims to be a Republican, he is not, in fact, homophobic. Eugene is probably more of a fiscal conservative anyway, which would put him at odds with the current administration’s spending policy and the pork-barrel happy republicans in Congress. Or maybe Eugene just votes the way his parents do. Which assumes he is old enough to have ever voted in a national election, which he isn’t.

In any case, the Ampersand wishes Eugene the best of luck running Conservatives for Bush here at Wesleyan, and apologizes sincerely for any offense he may have taken. The Ampersand would also like to apologize for any perceived quantitative or qualitative implications regarding Dave Wilkinson’s sexual orientation in the same piece.
