...stop writing freely. I have not yet finished my Core Requirement, but I vaguely remember hearing somewhere about "freedom of the press." The administration's actions smack of nothing less than censorship. The administration should not meddle with legal, non-academic-related conflicts, should not be able to censor what is printed on campus and should lighten up.

When the Supreme Court decided in the last decade that a school could censor student newspapers, it determined that schools were not to be grounds for free expression. Schools are the learning grounds for generations of students and should be the grounds of free discussion, and yet more and more obstacles are placed in the path of discussion...
