Subject: Working for a student publication is supposed to be a learning experience. Students will make mistakes, and suffer lapses in judgment. I'm sure Mr. Cataldo will learn from this experience, and emerge a better journalist because of this unfortunate incident. To become sports editor of The Ram requires two solid years of dedication to the newspaper. He's worked hard to get this position. He should not lose what he's worked hard to obtain over one lapse of judgment.
In reply to: Ram '05 's message, "I am a Fordham student and I know a few people that work on The Ram. It is unconfirmed but I have heard that the editor in chief is very unhappy with the backlash about Cataldos Overtime column and they are considering getting rid of him. Im not positve but it looks like he is on his way out." on Tue March 15, 2005 17:45:30

  • Serving on a student newspaper is a learning experience. Although I was disappointed bigtime in the article, I think it more important that the young man learn from this experience and that he not be fired. As stated above, if the editor in chief passed on the article, a good part of the fault lies there as well. An apology followed by a renewed committment to journalistic quality would be the best solution. (NT) -- Upstate Ram, Tue March 15, 2005 19:09:20
