A cartoon of mine was published in the Opinions section of The Collegian. The cartoon depicted girls of the Westhampton class of 2013 in white dresses, having fun, holding flowers, hugging and having their picture taken. In the next panel were girls of the Westhampton class of 2016 in chains and wearing black dresses. The colors of their dresses had absolutely no connection to race in any way, by any means. The symbolism of the chains for the girls of 2016 was in reference strictly to restrictive changes implemented without any student input, and nothing else. I sincerely apologize for any offense implied by my cartoon and hope that this statement may clear up any confusion.
