I am writing in response to the Aug. 28 article, “Freshmen lunch credit dropped, then restored,” about freshmen being mistakenly charged for lunch at the Marketplace.
This article is the epitome of The Chronicle’s tendency to publish articles that contain no news. This article has no substance and does not belong in a newspaper.
The Chronicle’s commitment to publishing a daily newspaper is admirable, but at a university like Duke, there are not enough daily occurrences to fill a newspaper of this length.
A shorter version of The Chronicle or an every-other-day system would be far more effective and would eliminate the need for articles that insult the intelligence of the Duke community.
