The first was a full front page spread about a drag queen who performed on campus. Obviously such an act was very important to the life of the collegians at KSU. On the back page was a small picture of Ravi Zacharias, a noted Christian apologist who appeared on campus the night before. A very brief description, but not a word about his message. Ravi Zacharias had been upstaged by a drama queen.
Then this Monday the big news was the Fake Patty's Day celebration held last Saturday in Aggieville. Aggieville makes no bones about being anti-Christian. Christian activity is not welcome. But getting college students drunk by the hundreds is all right. And of course, the day was celebrated by the Collegian. Not much later a young man was found dead on another Kansas campus, apparently from drinking too much. But that did not make the front page of the Collegian.
Kansas State University is a great school. It has produced some very worthy people. I wonder why the college paper wants to cater to the lowest common denominators of society. I'm guessing that is not the only university campus with these issues.
