LETTER TO THE EDITOR | Biased election article
While reading through (last) week’s Collegian, I was shocked with how the election was handled. I realize there wasn’t much lead time and the president won the election, but the article was incredibly one-sided. I look at the front page of the newspaper as the “News” section. Only the first three paragraphs were news; the…
LETTER TO THE EDITOR | Students will be involved in creation of online radio
To the editor of the Butler Collegian: Donald Perin interviewed me for the Oct. 25 edition of the Collegian about a project that I have been working on for over a year: a “web radio station,” as part of the newly formed College of Communications Media Group. I am greatly disappointed with the tone of…
LETTER TO THE EDITOR | Staff members deserve the recognition
I’d like to thank The Collegian for taking the time to recognize our hard-working staff in the article “The men behind the Butler blooms.” It was exciting to see a positive article about the often unseen hard work of those on staff who make this campus amazing! I appreciated seeing this and just wanted to…
LETTER TO THE EDITOR | More positive stories would benefit the Collegian
Kudos… kind of. For the first time in my four years of being at Butler, I have finally been given the opportunity to read a fun, refreshing, non-opinionated, interesting story. “The men behind the Butler blooms” was a great story. I am not getting my hopes up or anything, but maybe more students would read…

The Butler Collegian—among other media outlets connected to the university—belongs to…
OPINION | Free speech privileges not worldwide; use them wisely, often
As a journalist, there are few words more important to me than those in the First Amendment. It’s that lovely set of 45 words that keeps people from being persecuted for speaking against the majority, for explaining why they think the way they do or for simply disagreeing with a public official. My favorite week…
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 | 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…
