As an alumnus of FAMU, I am very proud of the FAMUAN campus newspaper. Additionally, I applaud the staff for the hard work and dedication required to publish it three times a week. However, I respectfully urge you not to sacrifice quality for quantity. For example, in your 17 September edition, two titles of articles had obvious problems. The first, “War will am-Bush U.S. image,” should have read, “War will harm-Bush U.S. image.” The second, “Willmington blazes coaching trail for blacks, should have read, “Willingham blazes coaching trail for blacks.” Also, I noticed typos in several of the articles. I hope you understand that this criticism is provided in the spirit of love and comes from one who cherishes our great university. Knowing that others always have FAMU under a microsope, I don’t want to provide them any fodder to denigrate our great instition. Keep up the great work.
