Dear Editor,
I think the Beacon is a great way for students to know what is going on in the campus community. However I’ve never heard of it until it was presented by one of my professors to the class. It’s a great idea but I think it should be publicized more for students. On display in the dining hall and lobbies of the dorms perhaps.
Thank you,
Caleb Dostie

Caleb,
The Beacon thanks you for your kind words and your consideration for submitting a letter. We appreciate it!
You mention that The Beacon should be more publicized and it should be made accessible in more locations on campus. Yes, while we also wish it could be seen, known, and picked up by everybody, The Beacon is indeed in many locations, including the places you mentioned. If you walk into the cafeteria, there are stacks of Beacons on the newsstand in front of you, in the foyer. If you walk into the dorms, the Beacons are immediately to your right as soon as you walk in.
In fact, The Beacon is actually located in all of the buildings on campus, but that’s not where it stops. It can be found in 158 Pickett Street Cafe, Gritty’s Pub on Fore Street in Portland, Buck’s Naked Barbecue in Portland’s Old Port, the Portland Public Library, and even scattered throughout the Greater Portland area.
Again, we thank you for your contribution. Furthermore, if you’re interested in working for The Beacon, feel free to inquire!
