U Softball Readies for Cougars

By and • April 10, 2002

The break was short from Mountain West Conference play and not as productive as it could have been, as the U softball team split with Southern Utah last Wednesday. But all that is irrelevant as the Utes get back to conference play with BYU tomorrow. The Cougars are 24-16 (3-5 MWC) and are coming off a game against Utah State yesterday.

The Chronicle’s View: New Computer Policy A Double-Edged Sword

By and • April 10, 2002

There are five student computer labs on campus, but oddly enough, U students must often endure exceedingly long waits to utilize them.

Editor: In reading Mr. Canham's article regarding Amadou Niang's classroom comments on institutionalized racism, I am compassionate toward the angered students. It is indeed uncomfortable to evaluate one's potential contribution to racist structures.

Editor: A debate rages over an incident that took place on March 27 in an African American Studies class. The details, listed in an article in the April 10 issue of The Chronicle, represented two sides of a somewhat convoluted story.

Editor: Regarding the article "Comments Offend Some LDS Students." I feel the students involved are going to the extreme with their reaction to the comment. The whole point of a diversity class is to expose and teach people about different ethnic groups. Personally, I find it disturbing that the students were only able to name four African-Americans in the hierarchy, and I find it even more disturbing that African Americans have only been in allowed in the hierarchy since 1978.
