To The Editor:

As you probably know, the University awards a number of scholarships which are presented each year at Recognition Day to commend outstanding achievement by our students. In order to be considered for scholarships, students must apply in advance (or be nominated by faculty members).

To the Editor,

I was informed of the alleged theft of The Free Press through several of the students still attending school there. I agree, it was unfortunate. Perhaps it was a misunderstanding, perhaps not. The DA felt there was not enough evidence to pursue the case, but this does not prove their innocence, or their guilt.

To the Editor:

Last week’s editorial by Mr. Peoples regarding the actions of Mr. Pergola and his minions addressed an age-old assumption, ‘if I wasn’t convicted, I must be innocent’.

We have all witnessed technicalities being implemented to avoid conviction in our legal system, which in no way render true guilt null.

Letter to the Editor,

In response to your editorial, The games go on, I find it amusing that you portray yourself as the advocate of free speech on behalf of the USM student body. The reality is, when you allowed an article in your publication to be printed that misrepresented the large group of students in the Greek community, you were actually guilty of restriction of free speech by polling students who weren’t remotely associated with Greek life.

I am sick of the story about The Free Press thefts. This has been three weeks now, and honestly I do not care anymore.

The papers were stolen, at first I thought it was a big deal, now it’s like laddi-freaking-da, the papers were stolen. People made bad decisions, let’s move on with our lives.

I find stereotypes intriguing. I am particularly interested in the popular negative stereotype of stereotypes. We were all taught in elementary school not to judge people by stereotypes. Yet we need stereotypes to organize our world. We need categories to help us understand who we are in relation to others, and to what groups we do and don’t belong.

There were 11 of us in the small room. We sat at opposite ends of two tables in semi-awkward silence. It didn’t look good.

I had been a little nervous all day. Not really knowing what to expect from the first official meeting between The Free Press and Greek leaders.
