''Lot's Wife'' is the student newspaper of Monash University's Clayton campus. It is produced by students, for students and operates as part of the Monash Student Association. ==History== ''Lot's Wife'' began when a collection of Monash (Clayton) students stormed the office of the Monash student newspaper of the time, Chaos, in reaction to the sexist and derogatory material Chaos routinely published.〔(MSA.monash.edu.au )〕 Throughout the 1960s, ''Lot's Wife'' remained at the forefront of student media. ''Lot's Wife'' gained its name from the Biblical passage in which Lot and his wife fled Sodom. Lot and his wife were spared from God’s wrath at Sodom on the premise that if they left behind the destruction that befell their town without looking back, they would be spared. Once they had escaped, Lot's wife looked back. As a consequence she turned into a pillar of salt for disobeying God's orders. The message of never looking back has been enshrined in ''Lot's Wife'' since its inception and continues to be reflected in each edition of the publication. Many of ''Lot's Wife''’s contributors have achieved considerable notoriety in later life. This tradition of progressive journalism within ''Lot's Wife'' has recently been challenged by an article written by the Liberal staffer for Andrew Robb, Con Helas. Helas, a Monash Arts/Law student claimed in print that multiculturalism is 'the single greatest threat to civilisation'.〔Helas, Con. 'A Conservative Speaks up' in ''Lot's Wife'', Edition 4, 2007. p. 7. Also available at (msa.monash.edu.au )〕 In the previous edition of ''Lot's Wife'', the editors called out for conservative articles to be submitted following accusations against them of left wing bias. Helas' article was leaked to ''Crikey'' and ''mX'' (which received front page coverage) and as a result, Helas is no longer employed by Robb.〔Conduit, Dara & Snell, Naomi, 'Editorial' in ''Lot's Wife'', Edition 4, 2006 p. 3. Also available at (msa.monash.edu.au )〕 ''Lot's Wife'' found itself in the middle of a media storm when an article was published and distributed to first year students at the traditional O-Week events discussing different ways to consume and prepare marijuana. The article titled "Cooking with Schapelle" drew the ire of anti-drug groups.〔(Heraldsun.com.au )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lot's Wife (student newspaper)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
