    TO THE DAILY:

    This past Friday and Saturday, two superb a cappella concerts were performed at Rackham Auditorium. These concerts were known as Monsters of A Cappella VI. After attending Saturday night's concert, I was looking forward to the Daily's coverage of this concert in Monday's edition. How silly of me to assume that the University's newspaper would cover an artistic event in which three University organizations participated. No, I should have known that this rag you call a "campus newspaper" would have coverage of movies that no one on this campus is going to see because there aren't any decent movie theatres within two miles of campus. You also covered a book review as well as a record review. Also, there was a review of the "Kane Twirling Showdown."

    Personally (and I'm certain that others agree with me on this campus), I would much rather have seen an article about the concert and the article about the cane twirling. Then if you have more space to fill, put the other stuff in. Your paper regularly forgets about any campus activity that is not a sport. Incidentally, the last time I was on a newspaper staff, our first priority was to report stories objectively. Perhaps your writers should look into what "objective" means.
