On Tuesday, Patrick Walters wrote a column ("Journalistic saboteurs beware: There's still time to improve" SN 4/27) in which he made the outrageous claim that I had implied that "rape education is a bad idea." My stance on rape education is that it is fine but not foolproof.

One of my African-American students approached me after class about the "opinion" piece written by Jim Lala, "Liberal students' silent protest doesn't need words to be whiny"(SN 4/26). It's really difficult to understand why your newspaper chose to give this opinion piece such prominence when it appears to be insulting on several levels and to several populations.
After reading the "Early risers" editorial (SN 4/21), I thought to myself, "8 a.m., I wish I had a schedule that allowed me to start the day at maybe 7 or 7:30 a.m.
