Don’t Treat Gymnasts Like Hockey Players?

By , , and • March 28, 2002

While covering last Saturday's Utah gymnastics meet, I was taken aback after a fan comment following a rare lower-than-expected U score (there weren't many, as the U scored a school-record 198.425). Moments after the gymnast's routine, the score was raised by the 11-year-old club gymnast, and it was turned to face the crowd.

Nice Guys Finish Last, So Acting Mean Is Alright

By , , and • March 28, 2002

Hall of Fame baseball manager Leo Durocher was the guy who coined the now-famous phrase "Nice guys finish last." Unfortunately, the same logic does not dictate that jerks always win. Were that the case, the New York Giants and Oakland Raiders would have been in Super Bowl XXXVI, Mo Vaughn and Troy Percival would have long-term deals with the Yankees, and Rick Majerus would long have surpassed John Wooden in number of NCAA basketball titles accumulated.

Editor: I was appalled to read the March 13 news article "U Files Suit in Support of No-Gun Policy," about lawmakers wanting to lift the ban on guns on the U's campus. As a student here, and a person who has even considered obtaining a concealed weapon permit, I feel better knowing that guns are not allowed on campus.

First, a complaint about the voting process: why do they make it so hard to find out WHERE to vote? No wonder nobody votes. Now that I've said that, on to other issues: There has been a bit of an uproar in The Chronicle about the Apathy Party's absence from the debates.

When Halle Berry won the Oscar for best actress in a leading role Sunday, it was a victory for women everywhere, Julianne Malveaux said. Berry broke down borders as the first African-American woman to win best actress, "but like Halle Berry said, that award is for every nameless, faceless woman of color that now has a chance because that door has been opened," Malveaux said, paraphrasing Berry's acceptance speech.

Editor: I would just like to point out that Stephanie Mcfeely answered her own question. In her March 28 Letter to the Editor, "Keep U Gun Policy," she asks, "Why in the hell would anyone need to bring a pistol to writing or drama class after the various school massacres throughout the nation?" That is exactly the reason people take the time to obtain a concealed weapon.
