Letters to the Editor

The Eastern Echo

A Socialist point of view on Haiti

Sunday, Feb. 7, 2010

Dear Mr. Hendricks, I have little interest in a petty squabble over ideology with a student of political science.

Letter: EMU athletics aren't what they once were

Wednesday, Dec. 9, 2009

As an alumnus, former walk-on football player and sports editor of The Eastern Echo, I am almost speechless when looking at the state of the Eastern Michigan University athletic department as it pertains to the revenue sports of football and basketball.

Dear EMU community, We, Students for an Ethical and Participatory Education (SEPE), are writing you because of our mutual interest in Eastern Michigan University’s values: integrity, respect, education and relationships.

Letter: Proposed weapon legislation good for colleges

By Gordon Kangas · Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2009

In the Echo’s recent article on the proposed legislation to allow the carrying of weapons on campus, a variety of critics voiced their concerns. As a supporter of this bill, I would like to address those points. First, to Police Chief O’Dell, who said, “Say you have a situation where officers are pulling up and everyone has guns. There’s no way of telling who the bad guys are.”

Letter: EMU could do without football

By Zachary A. Jones · Wednesday, Oct. 7, 2009

Eastern Michigan University has about a $1.8 million yearly football budget. We have 99 men on the roster, yet only 40-50 will see any play time. This means we spend about $13,000 per player this year or $26,000 per player who will see play time this year. EMU has only won 22 games in the past seven years. This is an average of 2.75 wins a season, meaning it costs us about $645,000 per win.

Letter: Stop buying what sex sells

By Amber Bauerle · Sunday, Sept. 27, 2009

My attention was brought to something very disturbing the other day. The Eastern Michigan University hockey team has new posters for the 2009-2010 season. Rather than displaying pictures of the team or coaches, they depict our female classmates in nothing more than hockey jerseys and heels.
