Songstress and Siren, Jessica Galan (Page 8, April 5)

Ms Jessica Galan, a very beautiful talented young lady full of ambition and desire to succeed!! I am very proud of you my friend!! It is very rare to find a person like this in these times, so dedicated to what she loves, which is music. She has the combination of her love for music but she does not forget how important it is to love music and share her talent with the world along with an education, & well educated because this lady is an honor roll student…. Isn’t it incredible how one can dedicate herself to her talents which are many, dancing, singing, piano, along with keeping up so great in school! It is very hard, but she does it and that what makes her even more amazing. I support you 100 percent!! Best wishes & success in your career!! Love you

With Jessica perhaps the less said, the better!… her art and being is, indeed, ineffable. Jessica not only has all these abilities, but the endurance which is the most difficult, and challenging. I applaud her endlessly…

I have known Jessica for several years now. I was one of her back up dancers. I must say i never met a more motivated more talented woman in my life. She has made a difference in my life and i know for sure her music will make a difference in this world. I am proud of you for what you have become and i know i am destined to see you on MTV. I love you and keep up the great work!!!

Class Cuts, Protests and Tensions Arise at NJCU (Page 1, December 7)

I graduated in 1979. 33 years later it’s SOS. In the famous words of Steven Tyler,”It’s the same old song and dance.”

Art Department rejects student’s piece for display (Page 1, February 15)

I think that this issue is more complex than just a case of anti-Semitism. May I suggest that the artist, through the conscious use of the word “Juice” and illustrations of both apple and grape juice, and the quotation coming from the mouth of a young girl, appears to be making a tongue-in-cheek comment on the unconscious, subliminal transmission of baseless misunderstandings of facts from generation to generation. One could, perhaps, create a reasonable back-story in which the girl overheard someone repeating the persistent lie that the Jews killed Jesus. She heard “Jews” mispronounced as “juice” and created a narrative from that error.

I, for one, am willing to give the artist the benefit of the doubt and the reaction to this was reflexive and not considered.
