Guardian apologize for the last edition's headline

Last week The Guardian ran a headline containing a three-letter tcxting acronym that was inappropriat and unprofessional for our newspaper We apologize to any readers who wer offended. The headline was also placed over picture of a senior administrator. Any connection between the headline and the administrator is entirely conciden­ tal. The headline was also not intende to refer to anything the person said. We apologize for any confusion that may have happened as a result of our headline. It was not intended to refiec on the person in the photo. CONTENTS ATTENTION STUDENTS!

I was very surprised to see the headline on the cover of this week's issue. As far as I know, 'WTF' only has one meaning in the world of test messaging. It's not one that I feel is appropriate for the cover of the campus newspaper and certainly doesn't represent our campus well. Yes, the budget situation is scary and frustrating for everyone, but I'm sure there are more appropriate ways to express these feelings to the campus and the community at large.

Brittney [email protected]

I was very disappointed in the cover of the Sept 9, 2009 edition of the Guardian! I thought it was very inappropriate for the cover to say 'WTF'. Not only was it inappropri- ate, but at first glance it makes it seem that Dr. Filipic has spoken those words and after reading the article I discov­ ered he did not say those words! I think using slang terms like 'WTF' or even any cursing in a educational matter such as a newspaper is wrong and highly unprofessional! It is concerning that you thought this to be an appropriate title for such a highly concerned issue. In the future, let us make sure that Wright State's faculty members are no longer em­ barrased and dismayed with such unprofessional terms such as your cover page for Tuesday the 9th of September.

Do you have something to say? Send a letter to us voicing your opinion about what's happeneing on campus. Email us at [email protected] or go online at www.theguardianonline.com and submit your letter there.

If Provost Angle does become the president for Montana State University, The Guardian wonders what kind of 'ride' he'll get to school each day. Provost Steven Angle is one of three finalists for the presidency of MSU.
