I am writing in response to the column entitled “No One’s Innocent,” by Ms. Hadley Rush.
One has to wonder what the editors of The Arbiter are thinking when they let their culture columnist write a column advocating that students falsify medical excuses, pay students to do their work and steal from department stores.
I realize that this column is meant to tongue-in-cheek, but to me this column is an insult to the students that are actually here to learn.
This may be news to Ms. Rush, but some of us are here to get an education; not to swill beer and rip off department stores.
Maybe if she attended some of her classes instead of nursing her hangovers, she might understand this concept and produce a column that actually says something, instead of the meaningless superfluous fluff like “No One’s Innocent.”
I want the editors of The Arbiter, Ms. Rush and the readers of The Arbiter to know that there are students at this University who want something more meaningful out of their college education than liver cirrhosis and sexually transmitted diseases.
