Dear Editor,
On behalf of the student athletes on campus, we would like to voice our disappointment with the recent articles regarding athletic involvement in sexual misconduct and the athletic department budget. We believe these articles unfairly judge student athletes’ character and their value to the College.
We believe that student athletes bring significant contributions to the College in the form of community service, advocacy, Forester spirit, and support for various organizations across campus. Student athletes are proud to sponsor campus events such as GLASA Sled Hockey, National Girls and Women in Sports Day, Special Olympics, Ry’s Run, Hero’s Day, Benny Water’s Community Day, Play for a Cure, and countless other campus-wide events. Furthermore, we are honored to be active members and supporters of organizations across campus aside from athletics, such as theater productions, Greek Life philanthropy events, Brain Awareness Week, Relay for Life, Student Symposium, and many more.
We take great pride in the positive impact we feel that we have on our campus and hope that students, administration, and staff can see that as well. We, as student athletes, believe in our Tradition of Excellence and appreciate the fact that our campus is a supportive community for every student.
With much Forester Pride,
Lake Forest College Student Athletic Advisory Committee
Dear Editor,
I just wanted to let you know that there is an error on page 8 of the [February 10, 2015 issue] of The Stentor. The title and author of the play mentioned are spelled incorrectly (in both the article and the picture caption). It should read: for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf by Ntozake Shange. I know it’s a small thing, but I believe it is especially important to give proper recognition to black female writers, a class of people who are grossly underrepresented in the publishing industry.
Best,
Kayla Huber ’16
