As a former editorialist for this very student paper, I know a thing or two about hitting the "Send" button too quickly, about not really thinking things over sufficiently before letting them get to print, about wanting a Mulligan after it's a little too late for one. So I am willing to give my fellow alumnus David Anderton the benefit of the doubt, to believe he was not fueled by malice when he referred to the current Richmond students as "a self-absorbed and over-indulged group of apathetic human beings" in a letter to the editor earlier this week.

A mass of people even left at halftime, when the game was still close with Richmond trailing by a mere 13-6 deficit.
While I agree with Mr. Anderton that it was disheartening to see so many students leave this past weekend's football game early, I find his personal attacks to be even more disheartening.
With Parents Weekend quickly approaching I've got two things on my mind. One of which may or may not include hiring Merry Maids to come and salvage what's left of my apartment. "Mom, I swear it came this dirty!"
As the sun began to set on the University of Richmond, candles flickered against the shadows of dusty combat boots lined in rows across the Forum. The boots of soldiers were intermingled with the shoes of Afghani civilians who, like the fallen soldiers, have perished in the war in Afghanistan.
