		<description><![CDATA[(Printed in the October 6th edition of The Spectator) Dear Spectator editors: Genevive Johns has thoroughly misunderstood my book FAT: The Story of My Life with My Body. As I stressed in my presentation in Powell Auditorium on Tuesday, September 27, certain passages are intended specifically as a cautionary tale about the dangers of unintended [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a former Resident Assistant for Valdosta State University, I assisted in situations that could have become far more serious, if policies such as the new color coded ID system had not been in place. With those experiences in mind, it is unfortunate that Ms. Kaymaya Hinson expresses a preference of personal convenience over the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Students should take Odum library seriously As a longtime Odum patron, I have to agree with the author of the recent letter decrying the complete disregard and lack of respect many VSU students appear to have for the sanctity of Odum library. It’s shocking to see how lightly they take time allotted for studying their [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How many of y&#8217;all have heard of the Biomass Plant that has been proposed for Valdosta?  Many of ya’ll probably don’t know what Biomass is; I know I didn’t until about two years ago when this project first started. The Biomass plant is an incinerator that will burn sewage, sludge and tree “debris” in order [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ According to the housing changes for next school term, the upperclassman-dominated Georgia Hall at VSU will be reserved for underclassman, and with that change, Hopper will now only house upperclassmen.  In all honesty, this is ironic to me.  When you think about the situation, it seems as though Hopper and Georgia are switching places as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I attend VSU like the next person, and, like the next person, I utilize the buses. Transportation has become an issue. The constant inconsistency of the route is too much. I have classes at 3:30 and at 3 p.m., 3:15 p.m. or even 3:20 p.m. a bus can be at the stop to help  me [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What is the definition of a “community member?”  As residents of Valdosta, Remerton, Lowndes County, and Valdosta State, it appears to me that all students of VSU are members of this community, whether it is temporary or not.  As I seem to recall, one of the purposes of many student organizations is to reach out [...]]]></description>

I can certainly understand an argument to stop this funding for fiscal reasons but to believe that safe sex would be practiced more [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At this point in “Post-Racial America”, the celebration of Black History Month on most predominately white campuses (such as VSU) and a sizable portion of black campuses is relatively arbitrary. We don’t fully understand the connotations of the celebration, yet out of a commitment to rote tradition, we do it every year.  The people that [...]]]></description>
