Letter to the editor
Dear Editor,
First, let me say as a recent alumna of Georgia College & State University, I have seen the paper change each year I was enrolled at the school. This year, however, I can honestly say the paper looks excellent. Change is always a good thing, and for GC&SU’s paper a face-lift was definatly in order.
With the little bit of paper experience gained at GC&SU, I know how hard it is to put out a paper each week without mistakes. Don’t forget everyone is human, but this year’s editor seems to get fewer and fewer mistakes as time goes on, and the paper becomes less and less of a joke each week. It is important to be educated. Educated in class, educated in extra curricular activities and most of all educated about life.. isn’t that the reason we go to school? One of my points in this letter is: read the paper. Like the paper’s motto reads, “It is their duty inform and your job to know.”
Now to the main point. I must comment on Dr. Harris’ thoughts about the Relationship Realities section of the paper. I must commend the staff for adding this new section to the paper. As a young, Female I can relate to everything she writes about. Each week when I grab a paper or look at it on the web, I read that first. Relationships with friends and relationships with the opposite sex, it doesn’t matter. It is just very interesting and can reach everyone on some level.
I’m not so sure that Desiree meant for the reader to take the quote “A woman isn’t a woman without a good man to love” so seriously. I merely read it as I can be whole without a man, but it is nice to have someone of the opposite sex there to share things with. Yes, college is about discovering yourself. But to some level it is finding the maturity to deal with relationships. I feel that each week the young women of the campus get honesty and an opinion on relationships from this section. If they choose to listen fine, but that is their choice. Just as Dr. Harris said, “Young women need to discover self worth, their own goals, talents, and strengths.”
Shouldn’t they be allowed to choose to read what one student’s opinion is.
