Column denigrated the dedicated fencing team
TO THE EDITOR:
As members of the UNC fencing team, we found Sam Rosenthal's column ("Knights of Columbus, that hurt," Feb. 29) to be belittling.
Too often do journalists reduce our sport to a series of cliches and puns. Rosenthal insulted the validity of this Olympic sport. (15 Comments)
DTH article impeded ability for fair hearing for Coonin
TO THE EDITOR:
I am writing to express my surprise and disappointment in the Feb. 27 article concerning Andrew Coonin's leadership of the CAA. ("Future CAA leadership unclear") I have never met Coonin and do not write as a friend or defender.
Instead, I write hoping that University Editor (Whitney) Kisling and writer (Brian) Austin have already given significant thought to the fact that a DWI is a serious and difficult problem for any student; an individual with a DWI undergoes an arduous process requiring time, money and effort to lessen the harm of the violation.

Attacking Ty Lawson was misguided and deplorable
TO THE EDITOR:
Last Friday a certain kvetch was obviously an attack from a masked N.C. State fan that has nothing left to complain about. Thus, this person decided to spout off at the mouth obscenities that are denigrating to some unknown UNC basketball player. (17 Comments)
Kvetcher was too hard on Lawson for not playing
TO THE EDITOR:
To whomever wrote about Ty Lawson on the kvetching board: I feel you are being extremely harsh on one of our players while being completely ignorant to his situation.
Ankle sprains vary in severity, and in case you were unaware, a 240-pound man fell directly onto Lawson's ankle. (0 Comments)
