Quote from the editor:
Quote:
Although Eder said he expected a response from the column, he, like Underwood, said he did not anticipate a reaction of this magnitude.He said he did not hesitate publishing Underwood's work on Friday because it accomplished the goal of a column.
"He wrote about something that he saw and that already existed before he wrote it. Any good columnist is a keen observer of human behavior, and I think that's important -- that's exactly what he did," Eder said.
Despite negative feedback, Eder said he thinks something positive will come of the column.
"Daniel's column initiated a lot of discussion and dialogue with things that needed to be said and needed to be heard," Eder said. "That is the first step in positive change coming about."

A KEEN OBSERVER OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR?!?! Excuse me?! If by keen observer you mean stereotyping and shallow, then why yes, absolutely.
THINGS THAT NEEDED TO BE SAID? It needed to be said that sorority women are mindless prostitutes and Stepford wives??? Somehow I don't think that's as important as covering stories on your campus finances and other things that NEED to be said. No one NEEDED to say that.
and the only positive change I can see coming from this article is that this Underwood fellow realizes that his articles are poorly written and pointless (journalism major here) and smack of misogyny and racism as well as a pandering disreguard for the viewpoints of others. He screams that he wants people to accept this Christian point of view that he has...but refuses to be as accepting of other viewpoints (somehow that seems...uh...UnChristian to me).
