Dear Editor, ‘ ‘ ‘ I would like to call into question the ethical character of The Pitt News… Dear Editor, ‘ ‘ ‘ I would like to call into question the ethical character of The Pitt News for printing ‘Breaking bread in Tower B.’ The printing of such a potentially offensive article reveals poor judgment on behalf of the writer who chose such a topic and the editor who approved the story with photographs and all. Writer Noah Levinson himself admits in the article that ‘some Catholic and Christian groups might find Morelli’s impersonation offensive.” The author attempts to absolve Morelli’s responsibility by explaining, ‘He’s just a normal student who doesn’t believe in conservative haircuts.” However, ‘normal students’ are not featured with a front-cover photograph and two-page article about their hairstyles or uncanny resemblances. ‘ ‘ ‘ If Morelli’s actions could be interpreted as deserving disdain were he to be more than a ‘normal student,’ then the campus newspaper that makes this student a celebrity takes away his ‘normal’ stature and is thus responsible for the offense. ‘ ‘ ‘ What if Morelli’s beard and hair had been white, his friends donned him in a robe, gave him a copy of the Ten Commandments and paraded him around as Moses?’ Would the article have been published then, accompanied with photographs of the Moses look-alike in front of the Cathedral of Learning?’ What if he were Middle Eastern and instead of a robe, given a towel for a turban, and people laughed over his astonishing impersonation of Muhammad?’ What if the resemblance was to Gandhi? ‘ ‘ ‘ If Morelli looked like Brad Pitt or George Washington, there would be no need for an ethical inquiry.’ Instead, he looks like Christ.’ By raising him to the status of a celebrity, it makes a mockery of the founder of a religion whom many Pitt students believe to be God ‘mdash; but this is acceptable, even newsworthy, if it’s Christ.’ Would it be the same if it were Moses or Muhammad? ‘ ‘ ‘ What Morelli and his friends do in Tower B is up to their own discretion.’ But a university-wide paper elevating this student to celebrity status simply highlights and glorifies his actions ‘mdash; actions that the article itself says are potentially offensive.’ Who then is to hold you, The Pitt News, accountable?
