Dear Editor: As a member of the class of 2012, I am thrilled about the commencement speaker Fordham booked this year. Mr. Brennan is not coming to Fordham to impose policies or decisions with which some would disagree. He is coming as a member of the Fordham University community to share his experiences from his time as a Ram.

  Dear Editor: I thought it was very inappropriate for Fr. McShane to demand an apology from The Ram regarding the satirical April Fool’s edition. Fr. McShane has a lot of nerve.

Dear Editor: I was not surprised to read your editorial on Feb. 1 (v. 94 i. 2), in which you discuss President Obama's recent remarks on the costs of higher education, accountability and your own view as college students in which you express that you are glad to "hear about a possible tuition decrease.

In the wake of the article "Dead Carriage Horse a Tragedy, but Not a Call to Action" (The Ram, V. 93, i. 19), the issue to ban horse drawn carriages from the streets of New York has garnered even more support with the second collapse of a horse this season on Nov.

Dear Editor: Though there may not be a consensus on the validity of race-based affirmative action in Dr. Mark Naison's senior seminar, Affirmative Action and the American Dream, we seem to agree on the idea that something must be done in order to minimize the gap between the wealthy and the disadvantaged in our country.
