Unsportsmanlike Conduct

You may remember that I recently posted a letter to the editor that Zack wrote about the IU basketball games. The letter ran in our local newspaper the week after the IU students left for Christmas break. Well, after the IU Daily Student staff returned to their office after vacation, they decided to run the letter in their paper as well since Zack's teacher had sent it there too. So, it ran as a letter to the editor last Thursday along with the other letters to the editor. Then, this morning, another professor brought today's IU Daily Student to Paul and lo and behold there was Zack's letter again both at the top of the front page and on the front page of the sports section. IU's basketball team lost their first game at home in two years on Saturday and I guess the language from the student section reignited the issue Zack brought up in his letter.
