By By Jon Blutarski and By Jon Blutarski • September 10, 2002

Editor: If you read Brandon McKay's letter to the editor, "Reflections of a Sixth-Year Senior" in the Sept. 9, 2002 Chronicle, you probably cried a few tears after hearing about his six-year prison sentence as an undergraduate at the U.
