To the Editor:

Title of an article two weeks ago - "Williams would get an Eph on its report card." Title of an article last week - "Manhattanville ville come to town, Saturday at 4:00."? Really?

Sincerely,
David Foote '10


To the Editor:

The quality of your sports articles are completely undermined by your shameless and unprofessional headlines. I understand that you are not trying to be The New York Times. Still: "Manhattanville ville come to town, Saturday at 4:00," "Men swim back and (get) fourth," "No. 6 Trinity played an itty-bitty bid better." Seriously? I think the Sports section is always very well done. Nonetheless, your headlines have turned the Sports section into an absolute joke. Stop trying to be clever and funny. It's not working. It's embarrassing for everyone else involved with The Campus. In conclusion, "Sailing club raises a "yacht" of money." Are you the untalented bastard children of Dr. Seuss?

Sincerely,
Erich Enns '10


To the Editor:

Last week, Molly Dwyer '10 called The Campus an illegitimate newspaper that does not adhere to journalistic standards after the Features editors changed her "Winners and Losers" feature without her consent. I do not wish to defend the transgression the paper already apologized for, but I must defend this publication - it is a legitimate paper, and its editors go beyond the call of duty for college publications. As a frequent contributor to this publication, I realize that the newspaper keeps its edge by pushing the envelope with humor. It is the responsibility of the editors to liven up content if it is lacking, especially with features like "Winners and Losers" or my own "Great Eight" that runs in the Sports section. Writers must be willing to trust their editors with their content. In this regard, I believe the criticism was too harsh.

Sincerely,
