We’ve heard that some are identifying the Concourse with a “right-wing” party of “extremists” on campus. We are mystified. This forum is as open to the proponents of “the left” as it is to anyone else. But we cannot publish articles we do not have. If anyone thinks our influence is disproportionately favoring a particular political party on campus, then by all means, let him write in to shift the balance! Nothing could please us more.
