Contradictions Permeate Editorial, News Pages

This article criticizes the Cavalier Daily's recent coverage of issues pertaining to sexual assault. The writer takes issue with Kathryn Hamilton's critique of assault hotlines in her opinion article "Silent Voices," and objects to the publication of a photo showing students at a party accompanying an article about two students' alleged ingestion of the date-rape drug Rohypnol. Finally, he criticizes the newspaper's publication of an article refuting the veracity of the two students' claim that they were given a date-rape drug. The writer asserts that the newspaper should have obtained interviews with the Inter-Fraternity and Inter-Sorority Councils regarding this case.
