I agree that it is a benefit to our campus to have a second student newspaper. However, it is not a benefit if the paper is so poorly composed that it could damage the reputation of the student body at UND. The Student Journal is edited EXTREMELY poorly. The number of punctuation, grammatical, and style errors in general is so large that it brings the overall quality of the paper down to a level that is laughable. The design is even worse, ever hear of justifying the text? When you look at the front page, is there anything that tells you that your reading a publication from UND? Nope.
If it were a publication that I had put out, I would surely be embarrassed. Wouldn't you at least look at another newspaper to see how it's put together? My biggest fear is that potential new students that tour UND will pick one up. What would your first impression be if you saw such trash being distributed around campus?
