Since I bother reading the responses to the editorials, but dislike doing so, I will sum this essay into the following phrase, so you the reader will not have to continue further: The Northern Star is a repulsive form of literature.

For those that have quit reading, I applaud them, for we that are still reading are of the poor few who do not like one-sided arguements, and thus feel a need to give the Star, everyday we’re here, a chance to earn respect in our hearts and minds. How can a paper that is supposed to be a model of good journalism do so, when all it does is continuously repeat the same stories with the same points. Granted, it has its good points, and to Miss Christiansen, it does have its facts, but the editorial is where the peronality of the paper comes from, along with how the stories are reported, not what kind of comics it has, or that maybe it gets a one page loan from the Associated Press.

I was very surprised to see one day, an article interviewing Mr. Bolles of the Judicial Office about the recent incidents between students. Could there have been a case of the flu in the green building on Lincoln Terrace? There was an example of what I want to read: an authority of the campus who has a reasonable statement to something the paper has been rolling around in their mouth like a cow with its cud, continuously regurgitating the same conclusions.

A bit of repetitous propaganda? I won’t go that far, but maybe in the future, the Star can shine like the Tribune, instead of flickering like the Enquirer.
