Letters to the editor
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrase “student council”.
Summary
- This News-Letter article publishes two letters: one about Witness Theater and one about a petition opposing the Patriot Act.
- The paper reported that Angelo Santiago argued Witness Theater gives students, including first-time writers, actors and directors, a chance to learn and improve.
- The article says Santiago asked reviewers to be less harsh toward student performers and playwrights.
- The reporter writes that Marc Goldwein said 500 people had signed the ACLU petition by Nov. 22 and argued that students should read it carefully.
- According to the article, Goldwein said the proposal would ask Student Council, Hopkins administration and security to refuse cooperation with some investigations, disconnect video surveillance and publish a list of people and property under investigation.
- The article adds that Goldwein argued the proposal challenged campus security and privacy, and asked students and Student Council to review it before taking action.
