Letters to the editor

The "Letter to the Editor" section of the Viewpoints page is the forum for individuals to write letters concerning our paper's content as well as campus, community, state, national and international issues.

Letters should be 300 words or less.  The Marcolian reserves the right to edit letters that exceed this limit.  The deadline for submitting letters is 5 p.m. Monday. Letters are printed on a first-come, first-serve basis. All letters must be signed and include a phone number for verification purposes. The phone number will not be published. Letters received after the deadline will be held for the next issue.
