-Though the account was accurate, the revolution publishes a retraction regarding the woman removing copies of our paper from the dining hall while making snide comments. Even considering that the person was not named in any way, just because it was only a rhetorical part of the article we have removed it; similar to how the administration removed our papers from the dining hall- but I really just don't get it… I suppose that they prefer us to appear as simply thieves in the eyes of the student body, but I really did not expect them to stoop so low as to prevent people from reading what we have to say.
It has been rather disappointing to see this latest step that Houghton has taken to keep us from explaining ourselves. It’s not even that they really had anything to fear in our paper; our main criticisms were of ourselves. And if they really thought there was something wrong with our statements then why didn’t they address the issue? I keep hearing about how this school is all about dialogue and actually listening to students, but it seems to me that the administration only listens to what they want to hear.
Really though, we’re becoming far too serious with ourselves here; we haven’t even begun yet and were already arguing; not a good start I tell you.

The idea that theft will raise standards is ridiculous.
The idea that a revolution is necessary to pop the Houghton bubble completely misses the point.
An issue of this weight does not need a couple attention-seeking, over-zealous students mucking about, but a mature and open analysis of potential problems. Instead of making sweeping allegations and taking drastic action, how about settling down a bit and solving the problem peaceably?
Instead of placing them around campus, I suggest you find at least two people willing to help you out, one male and one female, and have them place one under the door of every room in the dorms. If the administration wants to sensor you publicly, then go privately. As I said, I would personally pay for the copies to be made in order to get the word out again. I feel as though your careful and hard worked efforts on this issue would have been wasted unless this message gets out.
