Dear Editor, Verbal abuse directed at the editors of The Lawrentian is nothing new. I can attest this has been a participatory campus sport for decades. The “All the F*ckery” rant of Nov. 13, however, is a truly historic achievement when it comes to empty jargon, veiled threats, insistence on abject apologies for vague offenses, and…
Letter to the Editor from Doug Martin
Dear Editors: I read Claire Zimmerman’s Lore-ence article in the January 31st edition, “Lawrence adds a new UNIC course” with some disappointment. While the peripheral ideas, such as surveying the students of UNIC 142 before and after the course, were spot on, the core course proposal needs substantial revision. I fault the anonymous professor for…

To the Editor, I am writing about an uncomfortable experience I had this past Friday on campus. Chinedu Unaka, a successful stand-up comedian, was performing a show for students, and a friend and I went, expecting to laugh and unwind after a long week. I love comedy, and I have attended other stand-up shows…

To the Editor, With reference to your editorial “Prioritize Student Housing” on Jan. 13, I thought it might be helpful to provide some background on the University’s work on student housing and the processes by which we plan for projects and allocate resources. You correctly note several improvements in student housing in recent years,…

To The Editor, As you are no doubt aware, the election of the next president and vice president of LUCC will occur this coming Tuesday. Having seen student interest in LUCC grow with its importance on campus, I believe this election presents us with the opportunity to place LUCC firmly on the path of realizing…

To The Editor, Hillary promises free college. Free college would cost taxpayers $350 billion over ten years and increase our national debt. Same scam as Obamacare. Hillary would give the federal government control over our higher education and ruin it too. Obama established federal government control over businesses, banks and investment firms through bailouts. Next…

To The Editor, One of the strongest themes in this election cycle is the public outcry of injustice against our most vulnerable citizens, but I believe that in many ways, individuals of mental illness have been silent victims in this election cycle. The mental health of the major candidates running for office is frequently challenged.…

To the Editor, As a senior who cares deeply about the future of the Conservatory, I would like to draw attention to the state of the Conservatory for 2016-2017. Many studios are expecting very few new students in the 2016 matriculating class. The Strings department—comprised of the Violin, Viola, Cello, and Bass studios—is, all…
Letter to the Editor: Morgan Edwards-Fligner
To the Editor, I’d like to address The Lawrentian’s editorial from this past issue. Although I agree with some of the opinions discussed, others seemed to be poorly informed. I agree that the initial rejection of the Anchor Loft application seemed unjustified, and that this year’s process should have been more transparent. With regards…

To the Editor, After speaking with many of my fellow alumni, I have decided to write a letter expressing my opinions to current students. Let me preface this with the statement that I am proud to have attended a school with a student body who are willing to take action in order to change the…
