Please, make your voice heard
Do you find the Commentator “advantageous to students’ cultural development?” Failing that, do you think finding us not advantageous stinks to high heaven?
Do we make your day better, your outlook better informed, your campus life more diverse in thought and opinion?
Do you find our stabs at humor entertaining?
Our reportage unique and incisive?
Our viewpoint refreshing or challenging?
Do you consider the effort to defund us an illegal, censorial, wrongheaded abuse of power? A petty act of personal vengeance by petty tyrants? Or perhaps just ill-advised?
Do you like free speech? Is the First Amendment more than just “an outdated law” to you?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, please let the Programs Finance Committee know today. Tuesday afternoon at the latest.
Please email:
And tell your friends.
Cheers,
The Company

Dan, what river room is the meeting on tuesday?
January 30th, 2005 at 11:24 pm
Dan speaks the truth. We ask all supporters, alums and fans of the Commentator to speak up.
Also, look for a guest commentary in Monday or Tuesday’s ODE, as I think it’s the best and most public statement we’ve made on the situation confronting the magazine.

Andy, we’ll make that public as soon as we know. The ASUO is very good at “forgetting” to get such info to us. Watch the ODE also; they seem to get info about ASUO actions regarding us before we do.

Tyler,
Surely you mean the “best” statement we’ve made so far aside from the new issue, which is one of the best I’ve seen in years. (Speaking as the fairly hands-off Publisher.)

I know that the College Republicans have put the issue of our hearing on their weekly meeting agenda. Ready the troops…

Tyler, you answered the question re: alums I was just about to ask. I look forward to giving them a piece of my mind.

Censorship of the press is the wave of the future according to the article below 36 percent of high school students think censorship by the government is good.
