r just wanted to say I read your article "The Choice to Voice Stutters at Columbia" and thought it made excellent points. I agree that it should be a given that students here be involved in keeping up with current events and news around campus whelher reading the Chromde, Sun- TImes, or listening to the radio. It also shows interest in your school and that YOll are not ignorant, but educated on issues arowxl campus. I know how it feels to work on a paper and feel like no one cares, or that no one is reading it. I was the Editor­ in-Chief of my high school newspaper, and I would get so upset because it was overlooked by the students. I also like how you promoted the Reader, showing goOO taste. Keep up the good work!
