Dealing with the identity crisis

Being the beat writer for Utah football, I often get asked what I think of the team or how I think it will finish the season. My response is always the same-which Utah team are we talking about?

Opening up about the ‘N-word’

By By Carlos Mayorga • October 22, 2007

The "N-word" is often used carelessly in media and music, and in most cases, people are uninformed about the deep, hurtful meanings behind it, a scholar from Chicago told a crowd of about 100 students and faculty Thursday.
