To the Editor:
I am often impressed by my fellow Tufts students' opinions and arguments as presented in the Daily and other campus media. It is terrific that first-year students jump right into the dialogues and begin new ones as well.
However, I offer a quick caveat: be very careful about making blanket statements about Tufts when you have been here for only two months, especially regarding sensitive issues like race relations on campus. In Lisa de Elizalde's Viewpoint, ("A Natural bond," 10/31), she says, "Couples of different races [at Tufts] are nearly non-existent." Sorry, Lisa, that is simply not true. I can name loads of inter-racial, inter-ethnic, inter-religious, international couples that I've known at Tufts over the last three-and-a-half years. Maybe you just haven't met them all yet.
Arguing over this point is not my intent all. Please keep writing, everyone, but only say what you know and know what you say.
