Editor, For years now I have noticed a trend that the Daily Lobo practices. The trend is to print mainly negative stories about the Greek System. Yes, I have occasionally seen positive stories about the men and women in fraternities and sororities.

What is the artist's role in today's society, especially in the United States after Sept. 11 and now the war with Iraq? I don't know and it seems to me that many artists don't really know either. Art can be political, social, economical, environmental, personal or all of the above, but what can artists do in a time when nothing about the future is certain?
