Letter to the Editor: Where’s the humor?

by Luke Hunter UNA Student

There was a time when I would pick up my copy of The Flor-Ala every Thursday morning. It was something I would look forward to. The articles were informative, there was variety and it was a humorous paper. The Flor-Ala is definitely still informative, but the humor seems to be gone. I know that with new staff comes change. That only makes sense, but the paper doesn’t seem to be a college paper anymore. Sure, there are plenty of articles about UNA, but the wit is gone.

What happened to the back page? Every issue you could see students flipping over their papers to see the Facebook Wins of the Week or the variety of comic strips, but now not only is the back page just a pile of ads, the comics, Facebook Wins, Sudoku, etc. are all simply gone.

Perhaps I’m being a little harsh. The quality of writing is still there. The dedication to UNA is still there. These latest issues, though, have simply not excited me to pick up my issue every Thursday morning. I simply hope that The Flor-Ala will return to being a college newspaper instead of just a newspaper about college.
