Opinion: The first online edition of The Vermilion, the University of Louisiana’s official newspaper, was published recently. It was a giant leap forward in presenting everything good about the University to both students and alumni alike, and it has great potential in being used as an excellent marketing tool in promoting the University as it is completely public and no longer confined to the racks in the academic buildings. Unfortunately, the editor of our school newspaper, Nick Fontenot, made the decision to publish an opinion piece in this dawning of a new age for the paper.
