''The Centurion'' was a conservative magazine focused on Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey. Its motto is "veritas vos liberabit," which is Latin for "the truth shall set you free." The magazine attempts to counterbalance that which its staff perceive as a predominant orthodoxy of social liberalism and political progressivism of the professors and staff at the university. They believe this is confirmed by documented faculty donations to political candidates in the 2004 presidential election. ''The Centurion'' was founded in September 2004 by James O'Keefe, a junior philosophy major, after he was fired from The Daily Targum. It was co-founded by fellow Rutgers college students Matthew Klimek, Joseph P. Nedick and Mason-Gross art student Justine Mertz. ==Overview== ''The Centurion'' has featured cover stories on Rutgers alumnus Paul Robeson, academic freedom, eminent domain in New Brunswick, New Jersey, the secret society Cap and Skull, the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy and the Rutgers College Governing Association. Mostly, it focuses on campus fraud and due diligence issues, claiming in its mission statement to be a remedy to "excessive political correctness and corruption at Rutgers." But it has recently taken on national topics. On foreign policy issues, the journal often takes a neoconservative stance. Domestically, it echoes paleoconservative sentiments, often railing against abortion on demand, gun control and illegal immigration. The magazine is known for its walk-in video reports. In one video the editors of The Centurion attempted to ban Lucky Charms from Brower Dining Hall on the grounds the breakfast cereal was "offensive" to Irish-Americans.〔http://www.rucenturion.com/movies/luckycharms1.mov〕 This was explained by conservative columnist Greg Walker, who took part in the exercise〔http://www.dailytargum.com/media/paper168/news/2005/04/18/Opinions/Absurdities.And.Ironies-927804.shtml?norewrite&sourcedomain=www.dailytargum.com〕 A specifically an ironic reaction to the targeting of sandwich names at the privately owned Grease Trucks by the Rutgers LGBT community. School staff met with those whom complained about the "offensive" breakfast cereal as a matter of requirement to follow up on all complaints, no further action was taken on the matter. The ''Centurion'' is a member of the Collegiate Network. Although officially recognized by Rutgers,〔http://studentdevelopment.rutgers.edu/studentorganizations.php?p=list〕 The Centurion incorporated as a New Jersey 501(c)(3) for liability and financial reasons, and maintains a board of directors. 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「The Centurion」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
