University’s decision to censor should raise red flags

The University’s decision to censor the documentary film thesis of journalism students Jon Bougher and Roman Safiullin should raise red flags for all students.  Bougher and Safiullin, whose thesis centers on a Haitian aid organization, happened to be in Haiti when the earthquake struck.  They may have lived to tell their story, but the University doesn’t want them to.

Columnist is cynical moron

CJ Pruner’s column on Monday regarding Jordan Johnson’s political legacy had a few minor errors that I want him to acknowledge. One, while it is implied that the article is written by CJ Pruner, I cannot help but feel that others deserve credit for its content, namely, Michael Moore movies and malt liquor. Additionally, the article concludes by saying that he is a “journalism junior.” I would like to recommend a more appropriate description, perhaps “cynical moron.”

Texting with correct grammar

After a not-so-short hiatus, I’m back to stand on my giant soapbox and preach the good word of the Grammar Gods.  Please, don’t run away just yet.  I’m not one of those Turlington troublemakers who calls everyone a sinner and, well, other words I can’t get away with saying on this blog.  All I want to do is pass out some electronic illiteracy-is-of-the-devil shirts.  And rant.  Can’t forget that.
