Alligator cartoon




There have been several "official letters" from the University administration (Dr. Machen, Dr. Telles-Irvin) about the first editorial cartoon published in the Alligator on Sept. 13 and the "revised" editorial cartoon on Sept. 19. The editorial in the Sept. 19 Alligator by the editorial staff was also important.

Here are a few questions to think about:
1. What is the relationship and role of an independent student newspaper?
2. Is this an important issue for the president and vice-president of student affairs?
3. What was the intended meaning of the cartoon? What was the effect of the cartoon?

Inside Higher Education has a good summary of the issue as well.
