Letter to the Editor: Standardized Tests Are Still Unfair to Some

By , , , and • April 13, 2003

Editor: I found John Morley's April 9 column, "Testing the Way to Scholastic Equality" interesting, but flawed. Morley stated that standardized tests act as a "uniform yardstick by which to measure students." I ask, what students?

Anyone who loves to camp, has the gear and can't afford housing could pitch a tent on the lawn, post a political sign and work on some dreds.

Offense Progresses in Second Spring Game

By , , , and • April 13, 2003

Though the U football team's offense looked much better in its second spring scrimmage than the first, it was still advantage defense on a beautiful Saturday afternoon at Rice-Eccles Stadium. "Offensively, it's starting to resemble an offense...The first scrimmage, I'm not sure what it was," coach Urban Meyer said.
