Your Aug. 30 “Poison Ink” cartoon depicting the ISU Foundation as a sleazy prostitute lifting her skirt is offensive and totally inappropriate. This odious image, which surely marks a new low for your editorial page, manages to leap so far off the deep end as to offend the entire citizenry of Ames, the whole ISU community and most especially the dedicated and effective staff of the ISU Foundation.
