Dear Jeff,
I just wanted to take a moment to go ahead and apologize if
my article has offended you. It
was written solely with the intention of providing a piece of comic material
to UCLA students. The intention,
however obscured that it may have been, was certainly not to belittle the
library profession, but rather to poke fun at the misguided misconceptions
people have about many things that they do not completely understand. This has been a recurring theme in a
series of Daily Bruin articles over the past couple weeks. I’ll be the first to admit that my
article is grossly cursory in nature in regards to library science. I actually did take the time to
research the profession, and understand that it is indeed a valuable
institution to our society. It’d
be idiotic of me or anyone else to think otherwise, and I hope that this
common sense overshadows the propagation of any contrary opinion. Sometimes exaggeration is the key to
comedy (I’ve never been close to a D-), and the “uninformed” opinion that you
may find so offensive is actually an indictment of the propensity for our
society to form opinions based on soley superficial foundations. Thank you for taking the time to write
to me, and once again I apologize.
