DEVERSITY PRESENT AT MIRTHDAY, BUT NOT IN PAPER'S COVERAGE

I was pleased to see the Mirthday article pointing Out "variety and "diversity." However, I was extremely surprised not to see any mention of the six international booths. While surely the most colorful and diverse group of booths at Mirthday, The Current did not even include a photo or mention their presence.

It was especially disturbing to see this lack of coverage as last week was also International Week, which was ignored in spite of its great success. International Week is one of the largest events on campus and involves all eight international student organizations. At the very least, The Current could have included an article letting the campus know about the hard work and talent of the international students who bring so much to this campus.

There is no question The Current staff was aware of these events - a half-page ad with the International Week schedule was run April 13, and I certainly hope the lack of coverage wasn't due to a lack of interest. International events give the entire campus community the opportunity to experience different cultures and traditions. I hope we can look forward to better coverage of these exciting and interesting events in the future.
