    GALLERY: Life on an empty campus – The Daily Free Press The Independent Student Newspaper at Boston University MENU CORONAVIRUS, PHOTO GALLERY: Life on an empty campus April 27, 2020 11:50 am by Angela Yang ngela Yang is a freshman studying journalism at the Boston University College of Communication and the City News Editor at The Daily Free Press. Unable to return home to her parents, who have been put out of work A because of the coronavirus, she’s remained on BU’s campus and begun working as a cashier on the frontlines of the outbreak. In this photo essay, she details a typical day in her new life that has been transformed by the pandemic. I was still on campus in the days after Spring Recess when the email rolled in. It was one I had dreaded for days but expected would come: all students must now vacate their dorms, save for extenuating circumstances. I called my mom immediately. I had warned her not even a week beforehand that it could happen, but the possibility was now a reality. My parents rent a small bedroom in Los Angeles County with a bathroom attached and a kitchen in a shack outside. That little hut served as my bedroom for the summer, and it’s where I would now return to indefinitely — this time with no opportunity to see my friends or head to a coffee shop for a bit of escape. It was disheartening, but I began to accept that I’d once again be sleeping on a foldable spring mattress too short for my body.

    Citizens for Farm Animal Protection (617) 522-2016 PO Box 470857 [email protected] Brookline, MA 02447 www.citizensforfarmanimals.com Letter to the Editor Guide Thank you for helping spread the word in your community about voting YES! on Question 3 by writing a letter to the editor (LTE)! Other than the front page, the editorial page is the most commonly read page of many newspapers. Therefore, it’s an effective tool for citizens to make their voices heard in a political campaign. LTEs can be used to express your point of view in general or in specific response to a printed letter, editorial, or article. Only a few of the letters to the editor received by a newspaper are actually printed, so every letter we write – and every word within it – needs to count. By staying succinct and on message, using terms everyone understands, you will increase the likelihood of printing. We’re always happy to provide contact information for local papers and to do a quick fact check and proof read on your letter before you submit it. Email [email protected] or call us at (617) 522-2016. Guiding Principles Be prepared and follow the rules. Most papers allow between 150 and 300 words. Shorter letters tend to have a higher chance of being printed and read. Each newspaper has rules regarding submission, for example, some have a form on their website, while others should be sent via email. We can share those specifics with you, just ask! Be timely. A timely response to a specific piece will increase the likelihood that your letter will be published.
