'The Beacon' is back online

The Bacon is glad to see that our older, better funded step-brother, the Beacon is back online.

Here's our favorite part. Below "Contact the Beacon," it reads:

"Please send 'Letters to the Editor' to Hannah Mitchell, wavecraver911@yahoo.com."

Thanks for being professional, big bro.

Even though I tend to find fault with much of what the Bacon writes, I have to agree with you 100 % that this is ridiculous. I bet it gets changed in 24 hours. Great find Bacon!!!

looks like a work in progress....unless the beacon only publishes in september....unless "No Articles Exist for This Section" is the overall description of what the Beacon has become...

I think "no articles exist for this section" is a very adequate description of the Beacon. Hopefully, we'll see some real "articles" worthy of publication, rather than just puff stuff. This is not trying to slam the students who write for the Beacon. They just haven't been given the freedom to express themselves over the last few years. That's why the Bacon was born.
Is it true that all Beacon articles have to be reviewed by someone in administration before publication? Am I wrong on that?

Forget a review by the administration...those articles should be sent through the Center for Writing Excellence before being published. I counted way too many errors on Monday.

You would expect anything less from PBA? This Univercity is deplorable when it comes to spelling, grammer and the English languge in general. I don't know if it is the southern location, the influence of txtin or lack of education that causes what we see all around us. As you stroll threw campuss, read the sings. I guarante you'l find more than one misspelling or exampull of poor grammer. Look at fliers, handouts from differint departmints and anything PBA lends its name too.
It's just the PBA way. They will always need cannin fodder for Searle so they make shure that PBA studints look dum so they will always have imployees four Sailfish Services, Admissions and Enrollment Services.
