The cartoon associated with the opinion piece, “Independents need more ownership of Homecoming,” in The Butler Collegian last week was done in poor taste, not to mention inaccurately. I am not opposed to The Collegian’s opinion about the decision to not let Independent Council have a team in this year’s Homecoming. This was an editorial…
Fresh take on old problems
As a much older BU alum, I subscribe to the Collegian for the latest happenings on campus. The parking problem story (Aug. 31) remains just that. In the past 50-plus years, Greek housing created parking lots, and new “lots” (library, next to Alpha Phi etc.) have resulted in additional spaces. Closing of the old mall…
LETTER TO THE EDITOR | Changes within CCOM cripple college
As a recent graduate of the College of Communication, it has come to my attention that several changes are occurring that greatly concern me. First, let me say that as a student I was worried about the changes that were taking place in the college, more specifically the strategic communication program. I was dissatisfied with…
LETTER TO THE EDITOR | CCOM should be a professional college
I am a 1966 graduate of Butler University and a member of the Alumni Association Board of Directors. I’m proud to have served on the Board of Visitors to the Jordan College of Fine Arts for a decade. In a recent article by Brooke Deady in The Butler Collegian (“CCOM introduces new major,” March 30),…
LETTER TO THE EDITOR | Views from a UConn student in Houston
When I stepped out of the San Antonio airport Friday morning, I thought about the possibility of weekend success for my Huskies and I thought about the fans from the other schools thinking the same thing. I thought about the attitude I could expect from each. Having met Kentucky fans at previous UConn basketball games,…
LETTER TO THE EDITOR | King Family says “Thank You”
We would like to express our sincere appreciation to our family and friends who have stood beside us during this time of unspeakable grief. No words could ever express our appreciation for the love and support you all have shown us after the passing of our son and brother, Cameron King. It is only the…
LETTER TO THE EDITOR | CRU posters offend; lack class
I find the new CRU Christmas posters to be extremely offensive and I sincerely doubt that they are reflecting what the club wishes to be seen as. The new posters caught my eye with their flashy design, so I stopped to give one a read. Most of the content is fine, but the final portion…
LETTER TO THE EDITOR | Greek system divides students
Let it be known that this is not a letter written out of bitterness from a wannabe-Greek student. This is written to finally provide a legitimate, objective criticism of the social Greek system at Butler. Note the use of the word system; this is not a letter to criticize people within the system. The Greek…
LETTER TO THE EDITOR | Parking least of our concerns
As we head into week two of classes, Butler’s largest-ever freshman class is beginning to familiarize themselves with the campus and its workings. Certainly more than a few of them will pick up the September 1st issue of the Collegian, open to the opinion section, and see that the most pressing issue for the Collegian…
LETTER TO THE EDITOR | Collegian informative inside the “bubble”
It seems that people only write letters to the editor to complain or criticize. That changes now. I was disturbed and taken aback while reading last week’s issue to find a letter to the editor criticizing the content of this publication for writing shallow articles, insignificant to anyone outside of “The Butler Bubble” and detrimental…
