Op-Ed » Letters to the Editor

By Mandi Magruder

Dear Editor,

I am writing in response to Kim Tenure’s 25 Apr opinion piece regarding Kate Michelman’s lecture entitled “Facing A Future Without Roe.” Regardless of my position on the pro-choice/pro-life issue, I feel that Tenure and the student statements she included missed or misconstrued several key points of Michelman’s lecture. Tenure’s statement that Michelman’s lecture “hit upon ...

Hi Kim, Just wanted to drop you a line about your Servo Cam article. It turns out I’m the guy who originally installed the camera system as part of a computer science project in my junior year. We setup a dining website as well…which I’m sure has since gone defunct.

The original idea for the project was hatched by ...

Hi Paul; I read the article. It was very professionally written. You wrote what you saw and minimized your own personal views. And most importantly, you did not use four letter words to describe the “four letter word event”.
