Letters to the editor

Comprehensive coverage?

Editor:

I am writing this letter in hopes that some of you will take notice of

the fact that several students at UC Irvineare dying [in support of

affirmative action] as we speak.

No matter what the cause they stand for, it is a tragedy for all

students, faculty and staff when members of our academic community see

their options limited to measures as drastic as a slow, painful death.

Despite this fact, I am amazed at the lack of coverage that has been

given to these students by student papers. I hope that this situation will

be rectified. If we cannot do a better job of reporting the events of our

system to the people involved, we are no better than the other forms of

media and their coverage of the UCs.Ed Gomez
