Category: Letters to the Editor

Mr. Ingram, I am appalled by your disrespect. So Nick didn’t go to New York in September, he went in October. Where the hell were you? Sitting safe and comfortable on your couch watching the firemen on TV? While as a 17-year-old, Nick was out there picking through rubble and dead bodies? He went because […]

While reading the Mustang Daily on Tuesday, my attention was drawn to the letters to the editor section. One letter in particular struck a nerve. Matt Bozigar who has no affiliation with the Cal Poly men’s soccer team, except for being a fan, wrote a critical piece on the coach and the team. Being a […]

This letter is in response to Jack Ingram’s article “It’s an opinion …” and “Are you a terrorist?” Jack writes, “When I applied for this position as a columnist, I did so with the intention of ‘popping’ something.” Wow. You did? This makes me think that the Mustang Daily is like Taco Bell – they’ll […]

Clearly, when you want to say someone was wrong to attack another, the best way to do it is to attack them. I was amazed at the sheer volume of responses to Jack Ingram’s column yesterday. Guess what, it’s HIS column and he actually managed to turn his retort into a general talk, analyzing Nick’s […]

I would like to take this opportunity to give a hearty round of applause to the Theatre and Dance Department’s Fall production of the Pulitzer Prize winning play, “Proof.” If you did not get a chance to see it last weekend (Nov. 10, 11 and 12) run to the box office as fast as you […]

Jack Ingram’s most recent column (Nov. 15) was ridiculous. Whether I agree with his point of view or not is irrelevant; in the words of Voltaire, I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend, to the death, your right to say it. However, I must ask that if Mr. Ingram, […]

Jack Ingram, you’re wrong and Nick was right. Your attempted rebuttal to save face was sad, (wait let me use your favorite literary tool the thesaurus to find more sophisticated words to describe just how sad it was so I appear to be more credible); pathetic, feeble, dismal, off point, out of context, redirecting and […]

I would like address your claim that the ‘Activities since 9/11 have been counterproductive to counter-terrorism; adding fuel to the fire that is global terrorism.’ Ah . . . I think I finally understand. The killing of terrorists doesn’t seem to be doing the job; why don’t we sit down and talk with them? Wouldn’t […]

Why were the Latino minorities scoring below the Asian minorities in Alhambra schools? No responses. Not surprising; it’s a difficult subject to approach. Luckily Miss Potter seems to have broken the monotony, kudos and such. As promised, here was the reason. The Asian kid whom first investigated the problem concluded that Asian parents are more […]

A college fun fact: people go into it thinking that they will get a fresh start. Recall the month before you came to Cal Poly; remember making yourself promises to break a pattern engrained by awkward teenage years (shyness, physical image, being single)? I’m no exception. My first quarter at Poly I attempted to recreate […]

Men’s soccer coach Wolfgang Gartner is a horrible coach, role model and representative of Cal Poly. Do you know what I experience first-hand when I sit for a Cal Poly men’s game? I hear Wolfgang yelling at the top of his lungs, I see our defenders stealing the ball then being told to “kick it […]
