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 […]

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 […]

Jack Ingram: I’ve liked some of your pieces quite a bit. I especially liked the ones in which you swing about with a double-edged sword. You were mustering up some fine style near the end of last quarter, the opinion section was finally gaining some traction. Others … well weekly can get annoying, and your […]

Tylor Middlestadt’s “Confronting the silent crisis” continues the trend of misinformation in otherwise credible newspapers and magazines. Middlestadt writes about how “the Greenland ice sheet is melting faster than ever before” just like other articles I have read in National Geographic, Scientific America and Time magazine. However, none of those articles mention the fact that […]
