Wimps!-------College newspaper changes its name because editors thought “The Bullet” perpetuated violence

College newspaper changes its name because editors thought “The Bullet” perpetuated violence | Rare: "Students at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Va. will have something new to get used to when they return to school this fall.
The school newspaper has dropped a name that was almost a century old. “The Bullet” will be re-branded the “The Blue and Grey Press.”
“The editorial board felt that the paper’s name, which alludes to ammunition for an artillery weapon, propagated violence and did not honor our school’s history in a sensitive manner,” a university press release said."
