You wake up after a hard night of partying at your favorite bar or a friend’s party. You remember drinking a lot, but the rest of the night is pretty much a blur. You feel hung over, but it is a lot worse than you have ever felt before. Was it just one too many […]

The Sirens of Summer
Daniel Gingras As summer draws closer, the distractions men face are multiplying. The mind of Joe math major contemplates a triple integral, but suddenly goes blank. A staring engineer mistakenly draws a squiggly line and dribbles saliva on his signature green pad. A gape-mouthed English student’s copy of Beowulf slips from his hands and bounces […]

'Justice for All' a good display of free speech
I applaud the “Justice for All” displays at the University Union and on Dexter Lawn. I am pro-choice, and “Justice for All” won’t change that, but they are pursuing their cause in the right manner. By humanizing embryonic life, they may have changed some minds – the photos were graphic and the message was clear. […]

Mothers are not baby factories, give them rights
There has been a lot of discussion on Dexter Lawn and in the University Union the last several days. Some of it good, some of it bad, and some of it clearly not well thought out. Today, I heard something shocking. A member of the organization with the anti-abortion display asked a girl when she […]

Palestinians can't bomb their way to peace, but others can
When I opened the paper last Tuesday I couldn’t believe my eyes: The headline to Brian Eller’s column read “You can’t bomb your way to peace.” I nearly had a heart attack. Was the conservative columnist advocating non-violence? Had he retracted his support for the war in Iraq? Had he finally renounced violence because he […]

Free speech is democracy at work
Tyler Middlestadt It seems like this quarter, more than most, students have been inundated with ideologies about what to believe and why, where to find the facts to support the argument and the consequences of complacency. Part of me can understand why apathy kicks in when students are besieged with propaganda, but another part of […]

Why you can't equivocate Israel with Nazism
I’d like to discuss an opinion Humza Chowdhry expressed in the Mustang Daily on May 18. I suppose that, although I don’t agree with it, he does have the right to express it. It is unfortunate that his leadership only prevents people from understanding the plight of both the Palestinians and Israelis. With every action […]

Conservatives display hypocrisy on Dexter Lawn
Conservatives display hypocrisy on Dexter Lawn So why can you display two-story-tall graphic pictures of aborted fetuses all over campus, but a small flier stuck on a wooden stake showing a little side boob draws the ire of the conservative community? I bet some of those aborted fetuses were female with full frontal nudity. Where […]

Education, not graphic posters, will stop abortion
The images placed on Dexter are supposed to keep women from having an abortion. Well, I stared at the images for a long time, but during that whole time, not once, did any of those images communicate how one could prevent pregnancy or how one can deal with an unwanted pregnancy without aborting it. The […]

Are you sick … of working?
Jennette Ballas and Aliza Elbert Dilemma: I’m not gonna lie. Last night, I went out big and I was so hungover this morning I had to call into work sick. I know if I did go, I wouldn’t be able to function. So I made the call before my shift and told them that my […]
