A day for dissent

August 30, 2006

While numerous U students and staff members were among the thousands of protesters and supporters that converged on downtown Salt Lake City yesterday, one student had the rare opportunity to make her voice heard over the sea of demonstrators. Senior Erica Torres took the stage just before Mayor Rocky Anderson at the "We the People for Peace and Justice" rally held at Washington Square.

Zundel needs to go

August 30, 2006

Editor: Would you please fire Aaron Zundel? His articles are a waste of the otherwise very enjoyable Chrony. He has nothing useful to say, and his articles serve only to irritate everyone. He's a lot like Kellen Wilson in that regard, except that he's on your payroll.

Don’t fret-the season’s only days away

In my childhood, the most depressing day of the year was the day after Christmas. All the presents had been opened. All the anticipation was gone.

Isn't technology wonderful? Over the last 100 years, we've seen airplanes, space travel and, most importantly, breakfast cereals that offer twice the chocolatey goodness of their forerunners with only half the calories. While all of these contributions are well and good, there is now an invention on the horizon, the importance of which falls somewhere between the advent of the polio vaccine and the creation of the wheel.

Living the dream

By By Tony Pizza • August 30, 2006

Most Ute fans become aware of their love affair with the U at a very young age, but it can be difficult to remember the exact moment. For some people, it might have been when Mike Anderson ran for a U football record 254 yards against Fresno State, or the U's back-to-back 34-31 victories over archrival BYU in 1993 and 1994.

Only the Chrony still cares about P.O. overspending

August 30, 2006

Editor: ?? Disaster! Debacle! Arrogant, egotistical disregard! These are just a few of the sensational words and phrases used to describe the most successful Associated Students of the University of Utah program of the '05-'06 school year in Aaron Zundel's editorial.

Salvo rains fire for Utes

By By Cody Brunner • August 30, 2006

If Airial Salvo were a quarterback, her average stat-line might look something like this: 33-for-35 for 400 yards and five touchdowns. Those numbers are impressive, huh? Well, that word explains Salvo pretty well, since as a sophomore, she's already one of the top players on the 2006 U volleyball team.

After a competitive weekend in Florida, the U volleyball team finally knows that it can compete with the best teams in the NCAA. "We're four points away from being one of the top four teams in the nation," middle blocker Emillie Toone said. "We just have to keep working hard so that we can be up there to beat them next time.
