TO THE EDITOR:
With Homecoming weekend looming, I find it paramount to speak up regarding one of the most divisive issues of our time, and certainly one worthy of lively debate. For too long we’ve been captive to Justin Bieber’s antics and the good boy/bad boy flip-flopping act worthy of politicians (looking at you, Lincoln Chafee). What started as harmless ballads serenading our pre-pubescent and adolescent subconscious has turned into a full-fledged assault on our day-to-day existence.
The path diverges ahead of us, and it’s time we made a decision. Will we stand idle as Bieber continues to drop eargasmic musical wisdom on us all? Or will we come together and be heard? We must be steadfast in our commitment to either embrace our melodious neighbor from the North or #StopBieber entirely. The current trend of middle-of-the-road confusion and apathy is unbecoming of an institution of our pedigree, and as a proud alumnus, I demand to know where we stand. The brunt of the responsibility falls on the narrow shoulders of you undergrads, but with Homecoming just a few days away, time is running out.
