Cartoonist does her job well, despite politics

In response to David Henry’s Letter to the Editor (“Cartoons present biased opinion,” Nov. 9) that Sarah Quinn’s political cartoons are “lame,” “excessively biased” and “uncreative,” I must respectfully disagree.

While I hold quite different political opinions than Quinn, her cartoons are not only expertly drawn but also clearly put a well-educated opinion onto the paper’s Opinions page.

While Quinn did spend much of August drawing at Palin’s expense and much of the past few weeks have been devoted to criticizing Nathan Deal, Quinn is a political cartoonist.

It is in her job description to be political.

To call her a “lame” cartoonist because you disagree with her ideology is not kind and does not help to contribute to a loving campus.  If you can do better than Quinn, I’m sure that the opinions editor would love to talk to you about drawing the cartoons next semester.

Perhaps you could find a new horse to beat everyday.

But Quinn puts out a cartoon every day on top of schoolwork and graduating soon and deserves acclaim.

Thanks, Sarah, for your hard work.

Anti-abortion display an offensive spectacle

I was surprised and disgusted when I visited Tate II on Wednesday to eat lunch.

I had to walk past a large display with numerous genocide pictures and pictures of aborted fetuses, all very graphic.

A very large area was reserved and fenced-off for just this group, with police standing by.

I do not think I should have to endure such a nuisance in order to enjoy the University campus.

I hope the anti-pornography and anti-gay-sex groups are not allowed to put up extremely graphic materials in the middle of campus to further their political position.
