		<description><![CDATA[Dear Editor, In 2010 WMU’s student body voted to put in place what would soon be a monumental achievement, the $8 student sustainability fee. The extreme foresight in understanding the importance and need for providing the funding of campus sustainability improvement should be commended. Now the issue lies solely in the hands of the students. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Editor, This letter is to students considering teaching as a future profession.  I am a retired teacher who taught in Michigan public schools for 26 years.  You should be aware of a side of education in this state that your professors are unlikely to disclose. You must understand that you, as a teacher, are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Editor, In my personal opinion, no one should be allowed to bring a personal vehicle onto the Western Michigan University campus without first completing a driver’s safety class. This applies to everyone, not just students. I say this because it appears that during the period of time many campus drivers have had their driver’s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Editor, What is the clear and specific purpose of Occupy Wall Street movement and what do its followers particularly want to achieve?  This question remains unclear after months of protests that generally speaking are against our current economic system in the nation. In a nation like the United States, whose economy is one of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Editor, Campus tours at WMU have a large impact on students contemplating whether or not they should attend. The current way that the tours are being done is exceptional when compared to most other public Universities; however, I believe that they can still be improved upon. The tours should extend beyond the main area [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Editor, The Western Herald recently published two articles and an editorial about the replacement of nine honey locust trees by solar panels near the Western Michigan Univeristy Miller Auditorium parking ramp.  While I strongly advocate for the use of renewable energy sources, this paradoxical campus planning decision makes it appear that WMU believes reducing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Western Herald recently published an article highlighting WMU student outrage in response to the installation of solar panels and fifteen electric car-charging stations that resulted in the destruction of nine trees. I am disappointed and saddened by the shortsightedness of this project’s dissenters. Construction and maintenance projects all over Kalamazoo often result in the [...]]]></description>

Throughout all of the good things at WMU, one area does stick out like a sore thumb and I would like to share it with you—the dining services. I feel that there are not enough healthy choices and too many unhealthy ones. [...]]]></description>
