Embrace movement, forget about the destination

Henry Downes November 20, 2012

I wrote this on an airplane napkin, as my handwriting – jerked and jolted by turbulence – meandered and bounced like an ECG graph or a lie detector. I was trying to keep still, but simply couldn’t...

The real problem behind marriage equality found in the institution

Chris Beacham November 19, 2012

In the election of 2012, voters in the states of Maryland and Maine chose to legalize gay marriage. To many, this was a cause for celebration and foreshadowing of widespread change. To others, it was something...

Give more tickets to current students

Brad Tipper November 19, 2012

Covers still exist because you are willing to pay them

SoRelle Wyckoff November 19, 2012

It’s time the smoke cleared on the rules of on-campus smoking

UA, Aramark should let no UA student go hungry

Tray Smith November 15, 2012

For years, I have mocked the idea of the hungry college student. Who is going to take on the expense of college and not have money for food? Conversely, if a student cannot afford food, why would he or...

In response to: ‘Bikers must follow University policies’

Letter to the Editor November 14, 2012

We should take some time away from cellphones

Sophia Fazal November 14, 2012

Life without a cellphone seems stupid. As a young college girl with more anxiety than even a dinosaur could take on, I just see red flags and danger everywhere, and not having a way to speed dial Daddy,...

Irregularities in sleep patterns create unsettling feeling

Tarif Haque November 14, 2012

I don’t sleep at night. It’s a common annoyance – possibly chronic, sometimes tragic. I want to shut down but can’t. My thoughts will not be still. How do you stop thinking? It’s unclear what...
