Save TWU! Save the English language! Save our lake! Save our trees!

Notes to our local newspaper:
1) Texas Woman's University -- not Texas Women's University
2) "came to be known" -- not "became to be known"
3) Paris is not negotiating to sell Pat Mayse Lake (Charles Richards, front page, 2/27/2008) -- there's quite enough misinformation being spread about this issue without the newspaper aiding the effort. And if the petition was presented to the city council, does this not violate the open meetings act since such action was not posted prior to the meeting and, in fact, the meeting itself was not posted?
4) Op-Ed 2/24/2008 -- "Hearing things first hand and being able to view candidates in person as they relate to an audience says much about a candidate." I don't think so -- my actions (hearing things first hand and viewing candidates in person) may serve to enhance my knowledge and understanding, but they say absolutely nothing about any candidate.
5) Editorial 2/19/2008 -- Take your daughter to work day again? "Many other seasonal worker enterprises, such as ski lodges, hotels and landscaping also are denied the number of workers they need this year, but they have been able to grab onto almost all the workers allowed into the country, because those jobs do not require the same dedication circus workers and carnival workers must have. For those jobs, a worker usually has to travel eight months of the year, moving almost every day." Does "those jobs" refer to ski lodges, hotels, etc. or to circuses, fairs, etc? Essentially, all the information in this article is contained in the first paragraph and regurgitated (and not very well) in the remaining nine paragraphs. If you don't have anything to write about, why waste the space?
