Editor: Once again, the School of Business has advertised its annual Utah Entrepreneur Challenge, and once again, I am disturbed by the wording of the contest.

Editor: I'd like to respond to Dana Robison's Oct. 15 letter to the editor, "Hang Those Rainbow Flags High." In her response to Bart Gatrell's Oct. 14 letter, "Rainbow Flags are Offensive," Robison attacked Gatrell as someone with an "unbelievably bigoted attitude" and even went so far as to say he has a "homophobic lack of attraction for males.

By By Guercio, Aaron and By Guercio, Aaron • October 17, 2002

Editor: The U focuses on diversity as a key element in quality education. However, though it is true that classes in black history, foreign studies and fine arts do add to the roundness of one's experience, the school has gone too far in its attempts to diversify the student body.

By By Roach, James V. and By Roach, James V. • October 17, 2002
