There are obviously some voodoo vibes emanating from the Eccles Tennis Center. That, or BYU just has a great group of netters. Whatever the reason, the U men's tennis team suffered its first home loss of the year on Thursday with an ignominious 7-0 defeat at the hands of the Cougars.

Editor: Regarding the article "Comments Offend Some LDS Students." I feel the students involved are going to the extreme with their reaction to the comment. The whole point of a diversity class is to expose and teach people about different ethnic groups. Personally, I find it disturbing that the students were only able to name four African-Americans in the hierarchy, and I find it even more disturbing that African Americans have only been in allowed in the hierarchy since 1978.

Editor: In reading Mr. Canham's article regarding Amadou Niang's classroom comments on institutionalized racism, I am compassionate toward the angered students. It is indeed uncomfortable to evaluate one's potential contribution to racist structures. However, I call for the students involved to refrain from complete externalization of their woes and to accept a degree of personal accountability for their reaction.
