To whom it may concern,
Today while on campus, I saw a high school student touring campus with his parents. This student and his parents picked up a copy of The Plainsman and were astonished by several of the front page articles — namely the 'War f@#$%!& eagle' headline and the STD check article. While I appreciate the need to attract readers by publishing headlines that ask for attention, I am also heartbroken that this front page potentially deterred this student and his family from attending our university. While The Auburn Plainsman has a duty to report news that is relevant and interesting to the student body, its editors should be cognizant of the fact that the audience is one of all ages — not just college students. In the future, I hope to see articles on the front page that I would not be ashamed to share with potential Auburn students.
War Eagle!
