To the Editor:
Last week's edition of The Middlebury Campus published a photograph that we believe is in poor taste ("Springtime Smoke," The Campus, March 19, 2003, p. 4). This newspaper is meant to be a representation of our college community. Both the arrival of spring and the students of this College deserve a far better representation than a lone photograph of a student enjoying a 'Springtime Smoke.' Given the context of heated debates and what remains an unclear role that smoking is to play on this campus, we have the expectation that our paper will act with sensitivity. Political messages should be confined to the editorial page. The photographers and their editors have the responsibility to rout out biases in their work, striving to present an accurate and quality representation of student life.
