By , , and • March 28, 2002

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.

ASUU Presidential Candidate Statements: Probable Cause

March 28, 2002

WE ARE THE GRAD STUDENTS RUNNING FROM THE LAW SCHOOL, AND WE ARE UNAFRAID OF THE ISSUES THE OTHER CANDIDATES WON'T CONFRONT. Through our undergraduate and graduate educations, we've watched a world of candidates who do nothing but show their party names and faces.

ASUU Presidential Candidate Statements: Impact

March 28, 2002

Oftentimes in student campaigns, both past and present, we hear idealistic statements and "glittering generalities." These may include, "We're going to make the U campus a better place," or, "We're going to solve the parking problem." While these ideas are both valiant and necessary, the distinction of the Impact Party from the rest lies in our specific ideas of how to solve these problems coupled with our leadership experience in all aspects of university life.

The Chronicle’s View: Leavitt Should Have Vetoed Tuition Bill

March 28, 2002

The Utah State Legislature and Gov. Mike Leavitt continue to make it harder to attend school in Utah.

By By Fred Thaller • March 28, 2002

If you build it, they will come! And come they did yesterday to the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening of the new Utah Diabetes Center in Research Park. A host of dignitaries and U officials showed up to celebrate the opening of U Health Science Center's newest crown jewel.

ASUU Presidential Candidate Statements: Apathy

By , , and • March 28, 2002

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.

Letter to the Editor: Keep U’s Gun Policy

By By Stephanie McFeely, Junior, Social and Behavioral Science, By Stephanie McFeely, Junior, Social and Behavioral Science, and By Stephanie McFeely, Junior, Social and Behavioral Science • March 28, 2002

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.

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.

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.
