Letter to the Editor: Dating Jack-Ass Syndrome

By By Erin Laney and By Erin Laney • October 29, 2002

Editor: While reading Jared Whitley's Oct. 23 column, "Mormon Women and the Men who Try To Love Them," I found myself laughing. Please don't misunderstand; I was not laughing because I thought Whitley made a good point, or even that he was funny. Rather my amusement stemmed from the fact that someone as close-minded and theologically narrow as Whitley could have his "theory" printed in The Chronicle.

By and • October 28, 2002

Editor: I am writing in response to Dan Thatcher's Oct. 24 column, "Don't Vote for Steve Poulton," in which Thatcher attacked Poulton, who is running for state Senate in the 4th District.

Letter to the Editor: Tired of Lingustic Nitpicking

By By Terry, Sarah and By Terry, Sarah • October 22, 2002

Editor: I would like to address the benign, but ridiculous letter from Heidi Blitch on Oct. 21 titled "Gender and Entrepreneurs." In the letter, Blitch pointed out that the French word "entrepreneur" carries a masculine gender, and therefore argues that the School of Business's Utah Entrepreneur Challenge is discriminatory against women.

Editor: I'm writing in response to Aaron Guercio's Oct. 18 letter to the editor, "Diversity Has Gone Too Far" about the university "misappropriating" student funds to address issues involving diversity and homosexuality. Guercio, a junior in biology, said he would not expect the university to put on a Heterosexual Pride Week and did not expect them to hold a Gay Pride Week.
