Letters to the Editor No Scientology please

State Hornet (California State University Sacramento) October 02, 2002 by Lynda Young - CSUS Staff http://www.statehornet.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2002/10/02/3d99d38962479

This is the second time in two weeks that I've seen in the Hornet an 8-page promotion for Scientology/Dianetics with NO indication that it's a paid advertisement. I am disgusted and angry and I don't want to see it again.

This week's edition printed its "regret" on page A-6 that the paper failed to indicate it was an advertisement last week, but that this week's edition would be "labeled correctly". It isn't!

I'd like to know how much someone was paid to accidentally-on-purpose forget to label that advertisement not just once, but twice. It appears that someone on your staff is already a victim of Scientology, and now they're attempting to spread their little disease.

Dianetics/Scientology is known to be an organization that thrives on human gullibility. It's nothing more than a "snake-oil" scheme for sucking in foolish people and taking their money...and it's highly successful at doing so in manipulative and unscrupulous ways.Your unlabeled insert is typical of their underhanded methods.

A college newspaper ought to be run by individuals intelligent enough to avoid being duped by organizations like Scientology. I only hope that your readers are more astute than your staff.
