Dear Editor:

I am a little confused here. I just read that you are no longer allowing comments about letters to the editor in a forum manner. This is because people are “slamming” each other. Yet you can “slam” this University … that’s OK … double standards here?

I am pretty disappointed in this year’s DE staff. It seems that every issue has something that is controversial. This is all well and good IF it is kept in an objective manner. When a single opinion is being expressed there is no objectivity in it.

And, although I know there are a majority of students from the Chicago area, I always cringe when I look at the sports section and find the Sports Banter section with another question about Chicago sports teams. Enough already, this is southern Illinois, not little Chicago!
