Subject: How To Be A U-M Professor
In case you haven�t heard, there�s already a poetry-writing robot, or program, at least here, and even includes a �plagarism avoidance algorithm� - if they didn�t kill that English requirement for engineers, this would get an awful lot of use.
This poem :
Crazy moon child
Hide from your coffin
To spite your doom.
isn�t the greatest, but sure beats what I�ve read in those LSA �student-published-so-we-have-something-to-put-on-our-resume, damnit� magazines.
Hey, now there�s no need to criticize LS&A kids writing in publications to have something to put on their resumes. It�s impressive that you emailed us the day the issue came out, kudos.

Subject:Compliments and Suggestions
Hey guys and gals of the E3W, I am an avid reader of your witty Newspaper and I enjoy the short chuckle I get from reading it while wating for professors to show up for class. I especially enjoyed the Subway sandwich maker and Honors commons articles this past issue. I do have a couple of suggestions, however, to keep the quality of the E3W at its high.
First, Keep the jokes clean!! Intelligent humor is much funnier. Sexual jokes are easy to make. Its the good clean humor that separates the E3W from the rest of the pack
Second, while I am not particularly a Jesus fan, I�m sure you turn off a lot of readers by blatantly bashing their main man all the time. People take religion seriously and there are probably other things on campus that can be made fun of.
Third, while I�m at it, an article suggestion for next issue: �Airbus not only takes people to airport, but flies them home too!!�
Thanks for listening. I look forward to the next issue.
I like that you compliment an article with the word �fucking� in the title and in the same email tell us to keep the jokes clean. As for your clean suggestion, yes the idea of a mode of transportation taking people places is hilarious.
