Dear Editor,
This might be an ethical gray area, but you’re writing a letter to yourself. Some may say this is a cop-out, however, there’s a reason you are doing so. Since this section of the Record is for students to voice their opinions on issues that they feel passionate about, why shouldn’t you be able to write and edit your own concern? Right? Right.
First things first, students of CSB/SJU, I know there are issues, events or policies on campus that you feel strongly about. You know how I know this? Because I hear about it EVERYWHERE. On Facebook, riding the bus, walking through the computer lab, in class; even when you whine (more often praise) about the IT Services student repair technicians on your customer service surveys, because I read them, because that is also me.
Behind closed doors, you won’t shut-up about whatever is bothering you. Yet, when it comes to standing up and speaking your mind in an open-arena (the editorial section of the Record), you’re silent.
What better way to maturely voice your opinion and show off your composition skills you learned in FYS than to write a letter to the hard-working Record editorial staff, so we don’t have to whip one up at 11 o’clock at night.
CSB/SJU students, I personally invite you to come criticize or commend anything you’d like (even this very letter) right here. We’re really not smart enough to think of our own material (as is evidenced in this piece), so please loyal readers, throw us a bone.
