Quality journalism, for once
Hurrah! Never in my wildest dreams did I expect such critical and clear thinking, not to mention quality writing, from the Emerald editorial page. But in your editorial (“Hook, Line and Sinker,” ODE, Nov. 21) finally naming the University administration as behaving like utter tools in regards to His Honorable Sir Knight (Nike CEO Phil Knight) — well, you have done it.
Your editorial was a quality piece through and through, and I hope you continue to use your wit as an independent critical tool, and not just as a means to get invited to those free breakfasts University President Dave Frohnmayer holds in Johnson Hall.
For most of the past 5 years, the Oregon Daily Emerald has seen itself as some sort of free public relations machine for the administration, and I am pleased to see that you have finally found the guts to go out on your own a bit. I can only hope for more in the future.
