Opinion: BYU campus not the friendliest place on earth

November 20, 2007

I never go to the Brigham Young University campus. It isn't that I have very much against it. After all, it's lovely in the fall. The bookstore is a hundred times better than ours could ever be -- I mean, I bought gold shoes there...cute gold shoes -- and I enjoy visiting the offices of The Daily Universe to imagine how nice it would be to work in a newspaper office that has been remodeled some time after 1957.

Dear He says, She says: I've been seeing the same guy, "Dave," now for a whole semester, but I have the hots for his best friend "Casey." OK, so occasionally hooking up and having the most romantic nights of my life probably constitute more than just "having the hots" for Casey, but he doesn't even live in the same state.

There is a rumor of an old man who has skied Alta Ski Area his entire life. People say he has figured out the Utah weather pattern for snow and he's almost always right. The old man believes that this pattern determines when the resorts will open. As far as this year is concerned, he's dead on.

U groups quiet over pill price

By By Constance Yonashiro • November 20, 2007

A grassroots college movement opposed to the recent spike in birth control prices received a big break at the beginning of this month. But don't expect to find many U students championing the cause.

Rivalry ranks high nationally

The Salt Lake takeover

By By Trevor Hale • November 20, 2007

In downtown Salt Lake City, the chances are pretty high that you could throw a rock out of a moving car and hit someone in a band. More than that, the chances of you hitting someone in a good band are almost just as high. Salt Lake City has always had a reputation for producing good, often great, bands, and most of the time they're playing for the love of music and not to snag the cover of Rolling Stone.

The Edge: Breaking down the rivalry
