TO THE EDITOR .'~-"'-."'O-~~N I am pleased students KUKOC ;, have decided to write to The "?lH Dome. AlthOugh the Letter to the Editor was of a criti­ BRINGS cal nature, I am glad that students have taken an active interest in their newspaper. Keep in mind, as you read this column, that The Dome is your newspaper. CHAMPIONSHIP The letter is in reference to the Feb. 4 issue, where I ran an advertisement for Temple University's Hospitality and Tourism School. The article claimed that Temple is EXPERIENCE TO A the only university in the "area" that effectively "pre­ pares" students for careers in the Hospitality field. The claim is false. misleading, and deceitful. Obviously, TEAM Temple is not the only school to have such a program in the "area," as the writer points out. The letter makes two points about said ad: it should not SALIVATING FOR ITS have been run because it was untrue; it should not Mve been run out of pride for Widener University.
