Netters Win Utah Classic

By and • September 2, 2002

Going into its first weekend of the 2002 regular season, the U volleyball team had one goal in mind, and it came away with exactly that goal: a weekend sweep and a first-place finish at the Utah Classic. The Utes saw their first action Friday night against the New Hampshire Wildcats, who started their season as the top-ranked team in the America East preseason poll.

Letter to the Editor: Depression Treatment Complex

By By Richard Delewski and By Richard Delewski • September 2, 2002

Editor: I am writing in response to Casey Jacketta's Aug. 22 column, "Utahns Are High on Prozac and Low on Life." Jacketta's description of how depression is diagnosed ("medicalizing unhappiness," as she puts it) is very incorrect. There is an applied method of differentiating between what is clearly clinical depression and what could be considered merely a very "bad hair day/week.

Letter to the Editor: No Need to Coddle Protesters

By By Jennifer Rose and By Jennifer Rose • August 29, 2002

Editor: I would like to comment on Devan Hite's August 27 article on protesters at Temple Square. These protesters appear to be quite independent. They all pay their own ways to travel to Salt Lake City, and they devote three to eight hours of their daily schedules to demonstrate.

Letter to the Editor: Depression Has Medical Causes

By By Shauni Young and By Shauni Young • August 28, 2002

Editor: I am very uneasy with Casey Jacketta's Aug. 23 column "Utahns are High on Prozac and Low on Life." Having suffered from clinically diagnosed depression for more than 20 years, I am afraid that the information Jacketta asserted in her recent column may actually be dangerous to your readers.

Letter to the Editor: Protesters Don’t Force Converts

By By Rob Sivulka and By Rob Sivulka • August 28, 2002

Editor: I thought the Aug. 27 article "Temple Square Protesters Seek Conversion at Any Cost" was pretty good, except that I really didn't like the headline and conclusion about us protesting "at any cost." Given the quote about our desire to "love people into the kingdom of God and into truth," it would seem that by definition some boundaries are set for our tactics.

Freshman Council Calls for Applications

By and • August 26, 2002

A student government council is trying to make starting college less disorienting and frightening for incoming freshmen. The Associated Students of the University of Utah's Freshman Council is accepting applications until Aug. 29. "The council allows students to get involved on campus, make life-long friends and it serves as a stepping stone into ASUU elected positions," said Mondi Basmenji, council adviser and former council member.

The Sad Story of the Demise of Public Transit

By and • August 26, 2002

There's an old joke that says there are only two seasons in Utah: winter and road construction. While the humor of this joke is debatable, it certainly conveys a sentiment felt by many residents of our pretty great state, especially with the recent reconstruction of I-15 and TRAX across the valley.
