News Editor Eric Lach wrote about Mayor Giuliano’s visit to the Center for Community Partnerships last week, but the article missed or purposefully left out some important parts of the new mayor’s visit. Giulano expressed his excitement over new luxury condos planned in the North End. In response to a question concerning relocation of current residents, he replied that they would most likely have to leave the city.

I would also like to point out Eric, that your quotation, “Get involved in the Middletown community; meet people,” was actually incomplete. The next line was, “but not too much. Don’t endanger yourselves.” In fact, he was not urging us out into Middletown, but warning us that Middletown is a dangerous place and Wesleyan students should avoid making real connections with the residents. I think it’s important for Wesleyan students to know what our new mayor thinks and I’m unconvinced your article did it justice.

The club sports column is also, regrettably, flawed. Club sports are great! I’d love to know more about the women’s ultimate team or maybe the history of why Wesrugby is the only Division I sport at Wesleyan. Too bad I never found out about any of that in columnist Jeremy Powell’s article. If you missed it, he believes that his status as a “dude” defends him from knowing anything about women’s club sports, and that writing his columns based on what his friends tell him is a good way to go about writing for a newspaper. Contact info for the team captains is available on the WSA website.

I also raised my eyebrows at your classification of Wesrugby as a “woman’s team.” It is true; I am quite sure that there is a woman on the team. Are we a women’s team? That’s an interesting question, but certainly not one that your reporting skills have unearthed. Also, Jeremy, Wesleyan does not “also” have women’s teams. Women’s teams are not the side dish to your oh-so-hearty colum—n fact, you could only think of half the column inches of your usual articles in your apology to the women’s teams. The solution is not to do a “special focus” on women’s teams in the next few weeks. The solution is to recognize that people of all genders play club sports at Wesleyan, and writing a column about club sports requires a commitment to all of those sports rather than just those on which your friends play.

I write this not to criticize all Argus reporters. We all choose our commitments at this school, and I want whatever it is we d—ports, activism, theater, journalism, et—o show the best Wesleyan we can make.

I only happened to have time to attend the mayor’s talk by virtue of a meeting being cancelle—usually my schedule requires that I miss most events, and so I rely upon the Argus to find out what’s going on at this school. Poor reporting by some Argus reporters and columnists leaves a stain on the entire newspaper and makes me question the accuracy of all of the articles.
