Is this insightful prose, art, or just the output of a lazy columnist? Claire Readhead’s recent column in The Cornell Sun’s The Tarnishing Tiara consists a bunch of rambling and rather silly dialogues.

The Cornell Daily Sun is one of the best college newspapers here in America. After all, we produced E.B. White, and a lot of their columns are quite engaging. Why does the Sun let their columnists produce such inferior work? Can’t they replace a regular column with a guest column when their writers run out of something to say?

On second thoughts, if a writer never has something to say, why are they there in the first place? Claire of the Tiara only has to write every other week, and her previous articles this semester don’t seem that promising. Her first column had no paragraph breaks. Her second column (which was more of a rant in list form) was called Top Five Men at Cornell Not to Date. Her article two weeks after was aptly named Top Five Men at Cornell Not to Date Part II.

Not exactly the kind of writing I’m looking for when I open the Sun.
