Letter to the editor: Fight song should emulate U diversity
April 15, 2014
Editor, Just a “crazy” idea: Who am I, sir, a Utah ____ am I! Is there any reason I can’t fill in that blank with any term that I am feeling at the time? This song is unique among universities and colleges in that it is an expression of who we are at the U. That term could be anything that s...
Letter to the Editor: Lagoon ‘zoo’ isn’t humane
April 2, 2014
Editor: The Wild Kingdom Train Zoo located at the “historic” Lagoon theme park in Farmington, Utah is an embarrassment. Do not let their advertisements, “The second largest zoo in Utah” fool you. Animals such as Siberian tigers, lions, a jaguar, a golden eagle, ostriches and camels are among ...

Letter to the Editor: UTA not to blame for travel troubles
February 5, 2014
Editor: I can write pages and pages on Katherine Ellis’s piece published on Jan. 9 (“UTA needs to improve its services”), but I’ll leave it to these few points: First and foremost, UTA can’t just flip a switch and say, ‘Gee guys, it’s time we stop providing substandard service to Salt L...

September 17, 2013

Letter to the Editor: U.S. should be held accountable
July 1, 2013
Editor: By Jake Rush’s definition (“Snowden’s actions show disloyalty to government” published June 17, 2013), the very existence of the United States of America is bad because men and women of the late 1700s were disloyal to their legitimate British government. Indeed, Mr. Rush’s entire article p...
Letter to the Editor: Comments on unfinished Marathon ‘insensitive’
April 19, 2013
Editor: I read with dissatisfaction the article “Marathon tragedy hits home” in The Chronicle, which reported on U students’ experiences with the Boston bombings. In particular, a student’s quote caught my attention, “You feel bad for the 4,000 people that didn’t get to finish because they clo...
