In most papers, a student must cite their sources and give credit to the people who gave them the ideas presented in the essay. Most of the time, this consists of a simple work cited page or bibliography of sources included with the final draft of the essay.
To the Editor, I am writing in response to the front-page story about the controversy over Professor Maria Otte's pre-class ritual. While Marist hasn't come down with an "official" ruling, she has been told that her prayers can no longer be said. What I am about to say might not be accepted very well, but I'll just go ahead with it.
To the Editor, I would like to commend The Circle for exposing the discriminatory zoning practices of The City of Poughkeepsie in its November 30th article "Zoning bars Greeks from off-campus living". During my time at Marist College I both participated in Greek Life and lived off-campus.
Dear Editor, I was extremely impressed with The Circle's treatment of last week's front pages stories. The paper's coverage of "pre-class prayers," as well as the state of Marist's fraternities and sororities represents a higher level of journalism, unseen in previous editions.
