Why not cover interesting leaders?

(02/21/94 5:00am)

In reading The Chronicle on Feb. 15, the first thing I saw, as usual, was the headline story on the front page. Upon reading the story about Scott Keane, I was disappointed to discover that it was not particularly noteworthy, at least not worthy of its location in the paper. My impression was that the author was trying to create come controversy about the candidate or the Duke Student Government when there really was no sufficient evidence. Perhaps more disturbing was the fact that I found myself saying, "Who cares?" after I read the story. Maybe this is indicative of apathy, but I think it is due more to the bad timing and placement of the story. At the time, not many people knew about the upcoming DSG election, let alone cared that one of the four candidates had dropped out. Realizing this, to put this article as the lead story seems irresponsible, quite frankly.
