Author: Upstate Ram
Subject: 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.
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

  • Let him stay. As the one whose post brought this to life I wanted to point out that the young man did see problems affecting our people. I pointed out some of the suspected reasons for the problems. Let him return to Olean or Penn State in a better season than midwinter and he'll have a different take on us. Maybe he'd even envy us (just a little bit!). He stated he wants to return to Olean for the Fordham basketball game again next year. He should do this in conjunction with the Bonaventure student paper. Perhaps he could be a guest columnist and explain that he's sorry for the comments and that now he'd like to write a genuine article on the area and the relationship Bonnies basketball has to the community (it's the only game in town). If he asked the Bonaventure editor, I'd bet he'd be welcome to do so.. (NT) -- Nittany Ram, Tue March 15, 2005 20:01:58
