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
