I can't believe what I just read in the Feb. 12 issue of The Miami Student. The entire section on Whore-o-scopes and the Infamous Top 7 is absolutely disgusting and inappropriate, by Anna Turner and Liz Caskey.
These are things that belong in the grocery store checkout aisle in a "rag magazine." What if a prospective student and his or her parents picked up a copy of this newspaper and read it? Is this what we want to project our university as being all about, especially in this time
of low enrollment?
I believe in freedom of speech, but I feel this is totally inappropriate trash for a prestigious college newspaper and can't believe the administration on this campus allows such things to continue to be printed. Let's grow up and stop printing such childish trash and stick to news stories worthy of our newspaper.
