correction
In the Tuesday, Oct. 13 issue of the Miami Hurricane in the article titled, “Freshman drowns in Lake Osceola,” it was reported that Timothy Williamson was one of the three students who went swimming in the lake. In fact, Williamson stood around the lake in order to ensure that everything went okay, he said. The Hurricane apologizes for this error.
