Letter from: John T. Steffen

Re: Stoffer, Parents Criticize BYU Following Suspension

Dear Editor:

I tend to agree that the letter by the BYU Honor Code office was poorly written because it implies certain conduct on the part of Julie that probably didn't occur. 

However, I agree that Julie should be suspended for participating in the show itself.  MTV is not that much different from the pornographic pay per vew stations in its content and morality.

Thus, I believe she violated the Honor Code by participating in that program and should be suspended, but a different letter should have been written.

Thanks, John T. Steffen (1988 Graduate of B.Y.U.)
