I am writing in response to Sarah Carlson’s article entitled “Sing Song Gate ’06 creates scandal.” She was quoted as saying that Moonies were heard “swearing” after it was announced for the second time that we had lost.

I completely understand that she was trying to display how emotions get out of hand at the end of Sing Song. I agree.

However, I do not appreciate her reporting that we were swearing when she did not hear it herself. I was sitting with the rest of the Moonies, and I did not hear a single curse word.

Therefore, I do not understand how anyone else who was not right beside us could have heard swearing.

I realize this may not seem too terribly signficant, however this statement that we were swearing had some unwarranted consequences.

For instance, with Lectureship going on all this week, many Moonies who were in the show had to explain to Galaxy alumni why we were allegedly “swearing.”

Galaxy alumni questioned the character of the club that they participated in while here at ACU.

This is extremely disappointing because of the fact there was no swearing involved.

Again, I understand that Sarah Carlson was trying to paint a picture of the emotions that take place during Sing Song.

However, I think she could have used better discretion with her words.

Thank you for your time.
