It’s rare to find a student columnist whose columns you actually enjoy, but I’ll confess a fondness for Melissa Westmoreland’s. She’s bright, witty, forceful and thoughtful ? exactly what you’d want in the “token conservative” column. I particularly enjoyed her UNCG Carolinian column last week, which took perspective when most of her peers were being shrill, and I had to pass this gem along from this week:
I walked past a young man who said to me, and I quote: “I should light you on fire for that,” as he pointed to my Bush pin. I smiled in support of his right to free speech and suppressed mine in the name of dignity.?
