Surrendering to sentiment

(05/20/00 4:00am)

TRADITIONALLY, the graduation edition of The Cavalier Daily has held two types of opinion columns. Some people write a normal column about gun control, the honor system, or U.S.-Cuban relations. It's a way to deflate the maudlin weepiness of the graduation paper. Others write a more personal column, one that buys into the edition's sentimentality. If you've read my column before at all, you should expect the first kind. I'm too practical, too logical to be swayed by teary-eyed emotionalism. I'd never write that second kind of column.

Rarely, however, does something happen that is quite as overboard as this.
