Opinions

Student should not criticize the Exponent

"Exponent wants improved writing by engineers" — Ryan Gates, junior, Schools of Engineering, please stop trying to be clever or insightful because you're not. You're an engineer and should be taking the time to learn about engineering — you've been here how long? Two years, yeah how long has the paper been here? We realize the Exponent is free (so stop picking it up) and some people argue that choosers can't be beggars. Should we say hypocrite now? No, too soon. No, too late. No, you probably got it because you're an engineer and don't have time to write — so leave it to the other people. So let's all get off the bitter bus because who's driving it now? We just want to pick up an Exponent, read the news and feel satisfied that we know a little more than we did when we woke up. Enjoy the rest of the day, Ryan — oh and Gates, I think I quoted you so your name is in here more than mine.

Bethany Gainey

Junior, School of Consumer and Family Sciences
