Letter to the Editor: Greeks Need Better Support

By By Nerbonne, Nicholas and By Nerbonne, Nicholas • October 14, 2002

Editor: The Chronicle's Oct. 10 editorial, "The Same Old Greek Story" misses a couple of important points. While it may be true that U greeks are well represented in Salt Lake City offices and university administration, it's not appropriate to blame them for the ongoing bickering between U fraternities and their neighbors.

Letter to the Editor: Hang Those Rainbow Flags High

By By Robison, Dana and By Robison, Dana • October 14, 2002

Editor: I write this in response to Bart Gatrell's October 14 letter to the editor, "Rainbow Flags are Offensive." "Sexual preference" is a misnomer. Gatrell would probably argue that he cannot readily change his "preference" for females or his rather obvious homophobic lack of attraction for males.

The Graying of Video Games

By and • October 14, 2002

Today at 6:00 p.m., Graeme Devine, designer and programmer for Id Software and chairman of the International Game Developers Association, will be giving a free lecture in the Engineering and Mines Classroom Building room 105. When I first heard this news, like many of you are doing right now, I asked myself, "So what? Who's Graeme Devine?" I've since found answers to these questions.

By By Wong, Theresa and By Wong, Theresa • October 14, 2002

It seems like everything is merging these days: telephone companies, music and sports. Wait a minute, sports? All those hard-core sports enthusiasts out there should check out a relatively unknown sport that combines football, frisbee, soccer and basketball.

Letter to the Editor: Don’t Dis the Second Amendment

By By Black, Joshua and By Black, Joshua • October 14, 2002

Editor: I'd like to comment on Adam Benson' views on the Second Amendment in his Oct. 12 column, "It's Time to Put Gun Legislation in the Crosshairs." Benson wrote, "I don't own a gun, and I never will. I don't condone hunting, and I loathe automatic rifles.

Rainbow Flags Are Offensive

By and • October 13, 2002

Editor: What's up with the rainbow flags hung up as part of a gay pride celebration on campus last week? It's just another example of the minority imposing its view on the majority. I don't find a pot of gold at the end of this diversity rainbow. I find a double standard and hypocrisy.

Kids That Wanna Have Fun

By and • October 13, 2002

My educational philosophy was influenced by a conversation I once had with Hoonjin Jung, a friend of mine from Korea. He said that until recently, Korean schools were very strict. They have a saying: "A king, a teacher and a father are the same." When he first came here he was terrified to comment in class, in part because he was still unsure of his English.
