Letter: Popping the bubble

105

I am sick and tired of being in “the bubble.” The student population here at Brigham Young University is cosmopolitan, and The Daily Universe should be too. I’m sorry to all the people who find articles like “Vegetarians join forces” and “Monty Python’s Holy Grail meets Napoleon Dynamite” rich and fulfilling, but those stories do not change my view on anything or get me curious about becoming vegan or a connoisseur of Utah cinema. We are a global generation. The snippets of world news that cover not even half of the second page are stories that should be explored. International events give the reporters at the DU a chance to be a part of something larger than the area around the Brimhall Building.

Under the title of The Daily Universe reads the following: Serving the Brigham Young University Campus. If the writers at the Daily Universe want to live up to this motto, please inform your readership about the world we belong to and not just Utah County. When “journalists” decide to live up to your own words about the world being our campus, tell me. Until then, I will be reading the copies of the New York Times that you so generously offer as an alternative to your paper.
