  • Consequences of sexting far outweight benefits

    When approaching the matter of “Sexting has consequences just like the real thing,” I disagree with the attitude towards the act. Sexting does have severe consequences. The reader should be aware of the negativity, rather than the “fun” achieved from sexting. It may be true that a majority of students engage in sexting, but that does not make it acceptable. Just like the “real” act of sex, it also has consequences and those need to be expressed daily.

  • Enfield departure not the end

    I am writing in response to the April 3 article “Andy Enfield leaves FGCU to accept head coaching position at USC.” I am saddened to see Coach Enfield leave so soon after all the Sweet Sixteen excitement.

  • Cover more health and fitness

    I am writing in regards to the health and fitness articles in this newspaper. After reading through a number of articles on the Arts & Lifestyle section of this paper, I realized there were not many pieces on health and fitness.

  • SG President leaving legacy for President-elect

    If you haven’t heard, FGCU student body President Peter Cuderman plans to graduate and attend the Marines, a goal he’s had since middle school. He will delegate responsibility to Juan Cubillo effective April 1, 2013. Cubillo will shadow Cuderman until then.

  • Students should approach threesomes, sexuality with caution

    This is a response to the article published about “Sexy time: Remember, there’s no ‘I’ in threesome” that was discussing college students’ promiscuity. I would like to discuss the attributes that Ashley Scott discusses. I agree with her statements she has made, coming from an FGCU student standpoint.

  • March Madness week great PR

    I am writing to generate support for the excellent public relations work that has been shown throughout FGCU’s epic March Madness run.

  • Government must be accountable for our $

    I am writing in response to the article “Balancing budget doesn’t seem to apply to government like it does to businesses,”  written by James Barrett and published March 13. This article makes great points regarding the business strategy the United States government has (or has not) been using to combat our uniquely high $16 trillion debt.

  • Be careful with threesomes

    I’m writing in response to an article published on March 13, “Threesomes a disaster unless you’re prepared” by Ashley Scott. I have to say I agree with her stance that one should only approach the threesome when ready as well as their partner being ready.

  • More FGCU sports need coverage

    I am writing to express my concern over the sports section in the paper. When I returned to classes from break, I asked fellow classmates how their breaks went, and one boy told me that his break was spent playing lacrosse games.

  • Football at FGCU financially, logistically unfeasible

    Eagle News recently reported that Ben Hill Griffin III donated $12,500 to a fund for the purpose of establishing a football program. FGCU has been in existence for only 16 years. A football team isn’t going to emerge any time soon. As admirable as Griffin’s donation was, it is financially irresponsible and unrealistic for FGCU to start a football team.
