...There is no reason, when seeing a distressed female, to pull her top down. Sorry boys, grow up.

This story seems like a graduating journalist's cry for fame. If I'm mistaken, then I am sorry, but I don't buy into any of it. Sweet picture on the front page, and nice "swimmer's build," but I feel sorry for anyone who is actually a victim of assault and doesn't have such a romanticized story to tell.

Wow. I guess this just goes to show that when these warnings about the dangers of spring weekend are espoused, the "it can't happen to me" reigns. In no way am I saying you deserved it, as the guys were clearly assholes and deserved to be punished, but Uconn needs to do something to address the problem.

I have talked with a number of people about this topic, and I am torn between talking about this between two different ways.

Let me first start off by saying that I feel sorry for what happened. As a guy, I constantly read about how other guys treat women and it makes me sick. My parents always brought me up to respect women. I hope that over time, you are able to heal.

Now, on to some journalistic criticism. This is on journalistic matters and how this story was handled, NOT about the situation itself. I felt that the article was poorly written and should not have been put on the front page above the fold. If anything, it should have started in the Commentary section and continued elsewhere. Normally, any story that is printed a week after the occurence rarely gets on the front page of any paper. Yes, I know it was traumatic, and if she couldn't bring herself to write it before, then perhaps a reporter should have done an interview, so she could get her story out there and more timely.

Secondly, the picture is totally inappropriate for the article. The first thing I honestly saw when I picked up the paper was the three words "SOME GIRLS LUCKY". We all know that "lucky" is another word for having sex, and to wear that shirt and talk about being sexually harassed, well that was just in very poor taste. After looking closer, I saw that there were smaller words, but from afar, no one would honestly see them. Another photo should have been used, or a different shirt.

Thirdly the article being released when it was was poor timing. Yes, I know taht she might not have been able to talk about it right away, but I ask that you go back to where I said that she should have talked to a reporter. To have the Editor-In-Chief who is graduating next week tell this tale without another issue for anyone to comment about the article seems also in very poor taste. This article should have run sooner, or it should not have ran at all. From my perspective, it seems like she wanted to get her story out there (and I give her full credit for that and support it), so she used her power as Editor-In-Chief and put it on the front page above the fold for the last normal issue.

There are other things that I find wrong with the article, but I have said my piece. If anyone responds, please respond to the fact that I critized the paper from a journalistic side and not from the side of sexual harrassment. I tried to remember while thinking about this article that it must have been hard for her to share her story with the student body, but I feel that the means of sharing this story should have been reviewed before publication.

I agree with Thomas. It was very brave for her to come out and tell her story, but I believe that it could have be done more tastefully. First, the phrase on the tee-shirt distracts the reader from the story. Also, instead of waiting until the last issue of the paper, it could have been posted sooner.

I also do not think that it is appropriate to be bashing the amount of arrests the cops made spring weekend; they are giving up their weekend nights so students can have fun being crazy. They did all that they could with the number of staff and volunteers that they had. Unfortunately, situations like this one occur from poor planning and bad luck. I hope that a situation like hers can be avoided in the future if people are aware of the dangers about going out on nights like spring weekend.

Thanks for abusing your power as editor in chief and slapping this story on the front page above the fold other than turning it into a commentary piece where it really belongs. Thanks for thinking that your story is more important than others when it clearly contains so many flaws and due to your state of drunkenness, etc. Not justifying the action, but Bruen is a horrible person and even worse editor/writer. Sorry this happened to you, but great way to end your college career and poor career as editor in chief, with your last article being this piece of garbage.

Wishing you nothing but hardship the rest of your life,

Oh wow, you're sooooo brave. Please. There's a story of a kid in Georgia who was imprisoned for several years for having consensual sex with a 15-year-old girl when he was 16. THAT'S injustice, not whatever minor shenanigans happened with you. There are COUNTLESS instances of false rape accustations that lead to arrests, convictions, or simply the staining of a guy's name. (Duke lacrosse is only the foremost example).

When it comes to "rape", the vast majority of the time the only injustices are felt by men, not girls. I'm sick of supposed to be feeling sorry for girls (and yes, I say girls just to annoy feminists). This editor will probably have here future paved with gold by newspapers who will hire her only because she's female, while far more qualifed male reporters/editors, etc. get the shaft. Happens every day, in companies, newspapers, etc. across the land. Who's getting raped there?
