when it's time to act, who does?
The Thresher perceived a serious threat to its integrity as a newspaper, and it responded with a gutsy gesture that could not be ignored. I've talked to a member of the editorial staff who assured me that every advertiser was consulted beforehand. As for wasting trees, does anyone remember any of the articles from last September's Thresher s? The "blank" issue spoke volumes. The Thresher followed up with a larger issue featuring more background material on the issues at hand, along with multiple pages of reader response. This clearly demonstrates a commitment to fair and comprehensive journalism. The Thresher has effectively issued a challenge to the student body. Unless we have too much homework this week, maybe we can live up to the Thresher 's expectations and use this forum to turn our dialogues toward positive change. Joe Keithley Jones '97
