Collegian is now worth reading
I have attended SDSU for the past four years and after reading the latest issue of the Collegian released the first week of class, I was appalled at what I saw.
Where had the old Collegian gone, the paper that I had come to accept as the standard for college newspapers over the past four years?
It goes without saying that the Collegian’s format changes from year to year depending on the current staff and editors, especially the Editor-in-Chief, but what or who has possessed the minds of the current staff to release a college newspaper of this kind?
Don’t they know that I am not alone? Don’t they know that there are thousands of other college students, who every week will pick up an issue of the Collegian and be shocked at what they find? If you are reading this letter to the editor, then you probably already know what I am talking about, since you hold in your hands evidence of the kind of journalism that the SDSU Collegian staff is trying to pawn off onto the student body. And I am sure that you are asking yourself the same question as I am, “How is it possible that there is actual news and content in the Collegian, and not the same old crap that has been shoveled out in years past?”
Thank you, Collegian Staff, for making the Collegian worth reading.

Group should not be allowed to disseminate newsletters
Like many other students who parked behind the library and ag engineering buildings today, I found a newsletter on my car. This newsletter was published by Alamo Christian Ministries and was absolute trash and I personally found it offensive for numerous reasons. The first of which being that I am of a different religious preference than the newsletter.
Usually I can respect the fact that people want to share their views with others and get the word out about their religious beliefs. But this letter was forced on the many people who decided to park behind the library between 1and 2 p.m. on Friday (Sept. 3).
Also, I’d like to point out that the Ministries newsletter was full of the same kind religious propaganda and scare tactics that terrorist groups use to recruit new members into their organizations.
Don’t the people distributing this crap realize that most people just pull the newsletters off their cars and toss them on the ground without even a second glance? And to add insult to injury, the letter wasn’t even printed on recycled paper! Moral of the story: If you have to put your religious propaganda trash on cars, please print it on recycled paper so I don’t feel so bad about throwing it on the ground.
