Letters to the Editor

Deesing?s article was spot on

September 9, 2009

Editor:I appreciated Jonathan (Deesing)'s insights in his opinion piece about Gov. Huntsman ("Huntsman a model for open-mindedness" Sept. 2). I have had similar feelings over the past couple of years,...

Online textbooks don?t hurt students

September 9, 2009

Editor:This is in reference to Liz Carlston's column ("Online textbooks hurt students in the end," Sept. 3). The author failed to address all aspects of one of the most important issues to the students....

Transportation fair good place to learn about the issues

August 28, 2009

Editor:Wow! Thursday's opinion page is all about lack of parking on campus, construction impeding commuting to and while on campus and even a poll on commuting options. On Tuesday, Sept. 1 you can learn...

U events hinder student parking

August 27, 2009

I resent students being told they have to park elsewhere, often in pay lots, even if they have parking permits.

Illegal immigration wrong in every way

April 28, 2009

Those aliens and their children overwhelm Utah's schools, hospitals and prisons. They provide illegal labor that displaces and undercuts jobs for legal Utah citizens.

Obama proposal not change nor something to believe in

April 28, 2009

I for one am tiring of arbitrary, principle-free economic policy and to add the prostitution of bank reputation is sickening, incontinent and tribal.

Gun needed for protection of wife, kids

April 27, 2009

Deesing states that Utahns are gun-toting, fear-driven imbeciles. I believe I speak for the majority of gun owners in this state, as well as in this country, when I say he is making an ad hominem attack based on his own ignorance and irrational fear of guns.

TRAX graffiti unfathomable, unacceptable

April 27, 2009

I take TRAX at least three to five days per week and the so-called artwork left by these "contributors to society" makes me sick.

Gun owners? safety concerns legitimate

By and April 23, 2009

Jonathan Deesing ("Gun love is fueled by fear," April 22), is living in a world where the sun is always shining and birds are always chirping, but back in the real world, there are plenty of things to fear. What is wrong with dreading your security system going off in the middle of the night, or fearing what might happen if you get too close to Pioneer Park one night?

Competition improves med school

By and April 23, 2009

The best part of Drew Thompson's story ("Med school looks to offset cuts," April 22), was not in the description of our medical school's budget cuts and not in the details of possible governmental or administrative "solutions." It was in the last paragraph where Thompson describes the reaction of Bill Shelton, the applicant: "He plans to take the (MCAT) again and hope for better results next year."
