Last week, The Spectrum assigned me to cover a forum on the war with Iraq. Unlike previous forums on the issue, the format of this was more similar to a debate, and I looked forward to hearing educated opinions from both the pro- and anti-war sides of the issue.From a journalistic standpoint, I was quite disappointed with the speeches and responses to questions on the part of the anti-war speakers.

The waste of space called "Better than Stick Figures" has crossed the line of decency. In the April 18 issue of The Spectrum, the "artist," if you could even call him that, insults the English speaking skills of Asian teaching assistants, saying students ought to be given foreign language credits for attending Chem 101.Paul Hebert's insensitivity is extremely disturbing and exemplifies the very racism and bigotry that caused the reverse discrimination perpetuated by Affirmative Action.
