Diverse Education, Diverse Ideals

After reading the two letters to the editor in the winter 2014 Montanan, I had to respond. The cover of the fall 2013 Montanan and the related article [It’s a Jeep Thing] were fantastic. UM provides a diverse education to a diverse student body.

After reading the two letters to the editor in the winter 2014 Montanan, I had to respond. The cover of the fall 2013 Montanan and the related article [It’s a Jeep Thing] were fantastic. UM provides a diverse education to a diverse student body. The Montanan celebrates that diversity by representing the many different disciplines taught at UM.

Unfortunately, there are always those who will only see the world through the narrow lens of their own idealism. For anyone to refer to Mount Sentinel as an “undisturbed grass hillside” only shows they have never hiked there to witness the many trails used by both humans and animals alike, nor the very obvious fire road that has been there for decades. The wonderful environment we have in the Northwest was created by God for us to enjoy responsibly. Most owners of Jeeps and other off-road vehicles use them responsibly to enjoy the outdoors without tearing up the hillsides. Loved the article; love the publication. Keep up the good work!
