Facts over theory

I found Harrison Freund's column "Reversion to the Mean" pointlessly simplistic and unacceptable. He does such a good job discrediting his own illogical statements that it is a wonder why he wrote the article in the first place.

Making headlines

I wanted to address the headline of the August 31 news article titled "Report exposes high hunger rates." This headline not only is misleading, but also is not valid.

Minority report

A Pew Hispanic Center report issued last week revealed Hispanic enrollment at American institutions of higher education is rising even faster than the demographic's college-age population.
