Dear people of the great state of Washington, Hello, I am a third-grade student in Northern Virginia. In third grade, we do state reports, and I have chosen your state.

Letters to the Editor | Don’t increase parking price

PATTI ELSHAFEI, Pullman

February 27, 2018

Filed under Letters to the Editor, Opinion

Parking wants to increase rates … again. Absolutely absurd. They need to take a 2.5 percent decrease like academic programs on campus instead of raising parking rates. They tried to trick the university consumers into believing that there was no increase this fall 2017 — but by changing...

Letters to the Editor | House should consider immigration bill

NORM LUTHER, Spokane

Filed under Letters to the Editor, Opinion

Americans’ memories for political events are notoriously short-lived, but one event should never be forgotten amid our great immigration controversy. That involves the bipartisan immigration reform bill the U.S. Senate passed by a veto-proof 68-32 margin on June 27, 2013. The bill included a nationwide...

Filed under Letters to the Editor, Opinion

These opinions and comments are mine and mine alone and do not represent the views of any clubs or organizations I am affiliated with. I did not realize how little ASWSU Senators sought out the opinions of their constituents until I watched the live stream of the senate meeting where they voted on the ...

Letters to the Editor | Higher student voting turnout necessary for change

WILLIE DICKERSON, Snohomish

February 1, 2018

Filed under Letters to the Editor, Opinion

Only 7 percent of the student body voting raises questions. (“Server issues didn’t impact turnout, chair says” by Linh Nguyen, The Daily Evergreen, Tuesday) Is this a mistake? Do these elections matter? How many of these students vote in state and national elections? Do they know they live in the l...

Letters to the Editor | Pink Pussyhats should not divide feminists

RUTH GREGORY, Pullman

February 1, 2018

Filed under Letters to the Editor, Opinion

It saddened me to see the opinion article “Pink Pussyhats problematic for populace” in The Daily Evergreen on Tuesday, which criticized the wearers of the political hat without any context. I say “without context” because I am the woman in the picture and my husband is the man. Our picture was tak...

JOHN MILLER, Tacoma

January 16, 2018

Filed under Letters to the Editor, Opinion

I am discouraged to read of the proposed cuts to The Daily Evergreen. If there is one thing that is needed in our society today, it is the demonstrated importance and independence of the media.
