The Journal has fallen in love with Phil Eckelkamp. It has gotten completely out of control and makes The Journal's content look weak. Has the president of SGA become the Paris Hilton of Webster University?
For the last three to four Thursdays I've picked up The Journal only to discover article after article of Phil Eckelkamp. We get it, he's the president of student government, but honestly, no one gives a damn. Every week the university is forced to look at pictures of Eckelkamp doing something pointless with SGA, and now this week we have to look at his girlfriend. Enough is enough.
Please cease from printing anymore stories or pictures of Phil Eckelkamp or anyone connected to him - the students of Webster could really use a break. There has to be better stories and people around the university that can fill The Journal with superior substance than this borderline tabloid garbage.
I'd rather see a story about campus road kill than read another article about Phil Eckelkamp saying that he's leaving the student government better off than when he came in, he didn't. That SGA president who tampered with the ballots two years ago was a lot better. Please consider my suggestions and switch content.
