Re: “Gazette Spoof Issue” April 1, 2010

To the editor:

I just want to say thank you to the Gazette.

The April Fool’s Issue was incredibly entertaining, and recent issues have been incredibly relevant. The April 6th issue was especially interesting. There was intelligent discussion of the Queen’s Alma Mater Society apology letter, and I frankly agree with the editorial discussing it. A lot of debate in the Gazette lately has been about issues of political correctness, and it’s nice to see debate about PC is still alive and well, regardless of the controversy.

On top of that, the article regarding binge drinking and eating was both relevant to student life and very well written. Up till the past week I had been reading a few articles and then tossing the paper, hoping for these changes. Finally I’m seeing the Gazette we all want: relevant, intelligent and not afraid to be disagreed with. After all, how can we discuss issues without a little controversy? Thank you Gazette, keep up the good work!
