Mr. Skurko is a freshman, so he may be ignorant about what goes on around campus each year ("Administration must make Easter day off," March 18). I am not going to argue the idea of having Easter Sunday off versus Martin Luther King Day off, nor the possibility that the MLK statue may be a small band aid that the administration is trying to apply to a larger problem.

I simply wish to impart some additional information. Mr. Skurko, Martin Luther King Day does not solely give students an opportunity to "booze up" another night. I've been on this campus since 1999, and every year I've seen stories and pictures in the newspapers distributed around campus about people performing community service in honor of that day, that man and that ideal.

A lot of people take the opportunity to do volunteer work either in this area or at their homes. So, please check your facts before making your argument.

And, if we ever get the Monday after Easter off, I'll go out drinking in your honor.
