Profiles pending Several readers asked whether the Daily will ever run profiles of people from the community. Something I find odd is that there are no regular profiles of professors. Profiles can be wonderfully informative and entertaining, and writing them is a skill every journalist needs. Daily editors have discussed including more of these types of stories, and starting next quarter, the Daily will run a series of profiles of a student, staff or faculty member. The Daily has reported on several discrimination suits filed against the University over the last few months, which prompted a reader to suggest broadening our coverage of this issue to include an examination of the climate which may contribute to such suits.
Some serious analysis needs to be conducted and raise consciousness in the process.
I absolutely agree and suggest that reporters take a look at what the University is doing to prevent discrimination and improve the working environment for its staff. A fraternity member wrote to complain about lack of coverage of the greek system at the University. A search of the Daily archives brings up more than 10 news stories on fraternities alone since the beginning of the academic year. That does not include editorials or letters to the editor. While the Daily's coverage of fraternities and sororities may not seem complete to members of those organizations, the stories are being written.
