Ithacan or Ithacan't?

In the September 30th edition of the Ithacan, Junior Niki Black wrote a short story on English professor David Kraymer.  In the article she interviewed Heike Domine a female Senior.  When Niki read the paper the next day, she found that the Ithacan editors apparently felt that Heike was too masculine of a name to possibly belong to a woman, and changed every pronoun related to her from she to he.  Sloppy mistakes are one thing, but actively going out to break the truth is entirely different.
