Dear Editor,
Last week, The Minaret devoted twelve-pages to the wide-spread, but hidden problem of rape. The staff, editors, and advisor, Dr. Charles McKenzie should be commended for bringing this problem out of the shadows. By publishing the “special investigation” section, The Minaret has educated thousands of people about the complex problem of rape, and hundreds of campus victims know they are not alone. I believe the University, if it takes seriously the magnitude of the problem, should devote many more resources to educating all students, especially Freshmen, to prevent rape on campus. If it does, it will be because The Minaret brought this problem into the open. Thank you.
