“Is there such thing as Campus Journalism?” one of the speakers said as he made he’s opening remark at the recently held senior colloquium. And as I was there seated, I realized that there is really a problem not just with the College paper but with the freedom in the University itself.
So I would like to take this opportunity to speak my mind, I am a communication student after all, so I should be able to express my thoughts as freely as possible. The student lacks interest in reading the paper, because they find no sense in it. I mean the College paper in many ways should stand as the Students voice. But sadly, it’s not the way I see it. So, who is really to be blamed on this? Is it the students, the publication, or the administration??
Okay, First things first, who and why does this College papers exists anyway? Obviously we the students pay for these things, so we have all the right to express our thoughts be it an ordinary student or a member of the paper. And let me just defend the students from their (writers) observations of us not reading the paper, well who would want to read the common things, I mean we are all well aware of the things they write about, we want to read of something different and if they cant provide us with that then we surely have plenty of works to do than to read the paper.So what should they really write about anyway? Well we simply want to be educate of the things that we think are worth the space of that paper.
As always said, freedom is never freedom without responsibility. so if this people chose to be in the college paper, they must do what is expected of them, be it from the students or from the administration. i hope to experience some changes the soonest.

hi spring gozum! when we talk about freedom, we think of it as our tickets to do things that we all want, to do things that we really wanted without thinking what other people may think about our acts. anyway, for me, freedom means practicing your right in limited manner and in a careful manner. it is wrong to think that freedom of every person is absolute like he can do whatever he wants even if he will possibly hurt other peole's feelings and minds. i hate those people who are not thinking before acting things, and i know you are not like that. spring, i hope i will still see you next year and i am sure we will both graduate together. just have faith in God and to yourself. good bye!
Simple words for complicated brains of beasts in the wilderness;
Freedom now is as opaque as ashes. The music muddles and the sun sinks without her crown. We have to stand tall and restore democracy just like 'pissing is an art.'
