Wescosville, PA Illegal aliens and a flood of foreign students taking public money to study while Americans are kept off campus — not reported.

Illicit sex — not reported.

Sincerely,

Canton, MI Your staff’s fight to secure your paper’s First Amendment Rights with advertising will benefit every Pennsylvania college newspaper. On behalf of East Stroudsburg University’s student media, I’d like to thank you for opening new doors and securing our rights, as well.
