Editor,

As a parent with a child just beginning his freshman year at SF State, I love being able to read your publication online. It makes me feel a little more connected to his world.

I’m so hungry for daily details of what is going on around him at SF State and rarely satisfied with the brief phone calls or e-mails from my son.

This is a lifelines for worried parents who do not want to constantly bug our kids for details of their new life on campus. The students are not the only ones adjusting to the newness of college – we parents are too! And being able to read your paper online really helps.
