Degeneration
Degeneration
SIR—The degeneration of your so-called political features section into a petty juvenile schoolboy slanging match somewhat distresses me. Your correspondents over the last two isues, maybe with the exception of Tony Haas, have resorted to a level unbecoming "of a student newspaper, of for that matter, any newspaper.
Students, in their attitudes should try and maintain some ideals in politics, be objective in their criticism and try, as far as possible, to keep away from personal attacks.
Might I suggest that if this section cannot be lifted out of the-gutter, you drop it, as in its present form it reflects no credit on you or your paper.
Yours faithfully,
