In the commentary Monday concerning the new movie about the heroic efforts of Americans to deter Islamic extremists from flying a plane into a building, Ms. Marschall made it seem that any American who wants to relive the “tragedy” is a bloodthirsty savage. What she did not tell you, unfortunately, is that many of the […]

Finally an election is coming our way unlike the United States government, where individuals are not forced to vote between the lesser of two evils. Next week is the election for the ASI president and Board of Directors candidates – I know you’re counting down the days like I am. Since I’m an old-timer about […]

In his article, Mr. Chowdhry accuses anyone who supports Israel to be immoral. How dare he? How can he accuse Israel’s supporter to be immoral while he supports Hamas, a recognized terrorist organization set on killing innocent Jews, Israeli or not, and is bent on destroying a country? And this, two days after a terrorist […]

I once again gasped as I read “The Right Way,” a piece of journalism so interesting I read it weekly. While the things he said were interesting, I believe Mr. Eller may be illuminating one side of the story: The patriotic side. I never understood this argument, you are either with us or against us. […]

It is very sad to see still another letter, like Humza Chowdhry’s, appearing in a university newspaper. What is the intention of these oft-repeated messages? They offer no solutions to the very complex problems of and between the Palestinians and the Israelis as people. They offer no suggestions for ending the tragic costs, particularly in […]

Maki is the right choice for ASI president On May 3rd, I will be casting my vote for Todd Maki for ASI president. Maki is my choice because of his strong experience within Student Government. He was a part of a massive bus surveying taskforce that complied student concerns to strengthen ASI’s voice when approaching […]

As a proud alumnus of this school, I was shocked that Humza Chowdhry would be allowed to print pure virulent propaganda in this schools newspaper in the Article titled “Zionism and the ongoing Israeli terrorism” April 19, 2006. It is truly disappointing that in an age where people are trying to find common ground, and […]

Huzma Chowdhry’s appalling commentary (4/19) was littered with half-truths and thinking at least as biased as the “Zionists” that he criticizes. Especially considering that this week there were nine innocent people killed by a Palestinian suicide bomber. Meanwhile, the newly-elected Hamas government defended the right of maniacs to carry out these attacks. This is the […]

Regarding the recent commentary by Tylor Middlestadt on textbook prices, let me share my perspective as a published author. The primary culprit in rapidly rising prices is the wide availability of used copies. Consider what happens when a new edition of my book is adopted for use here. The first quarter, many new copies will […]

Next time instead of writing an article, just put in big bold letters, “REPUBLICANS RULE!” It will save you the painstaking time that you obviously took to write such a brilliant piece of biased nonsense. Your title begins with “Good vs. Evil” and yet, nowhere do you mention what exactly good and evil are. In […]

When I thought the service they provide us couldn’t get any shakier, they threw a new one at me. Before they have tamed the Oracle fiasco, they decided to get in over their heads and roll out a new portal look. While the new portal look was more aesthetically pleasing, it only lasted a few […]
