Opinion

U should consider going smoke free

By By Sabriel Harris March 12, 2009

We've already seen results from the Utah Indoor Clean Air Act and The Truth campaign. It is inevitable that a smoking ban on campus would produce positive results. With all of the other influences in a young person's life, smoking should not be an option.

Animal rights activists are overpunished

By By Kiyan Sharifian March 12, 2009

Reservations on certain types of research and other social practices need to be taken in to account in the formulation of public policy. Because, as history has shown, the moral truths that Americans hold dear will drive political groups to call out all the louder to be heard.

Racist flyers not part of Chronicle

March 12, 2009

The Chronicle certainly was not involved in the production or distribution of the offensive flyers. We don't deliver papers to any private residences. The information printed on the flyers was disgusting and does not represent our view in any way.

Liquor law change is valid

By By Liz Carlston March 12, 2009

The new progressive liquor legislation is a breath of fresh air and long overdue. Finally, popular grocery outlets such as Trader Joe's, which makes substantial profits from liquor sales, will be able to come to Utah. Loosening restraints on tourism and business will be welcome during the economic recession.

Gun storage bill creates balance

By By Steven Warrick March 12, 2009

S.B. 78 strikes a good balance. Employers and other property owners are still free to prohibit guns inside their premises while law-abiding gun owners are free to store their weapons secured and out of sight in their vehicles.

Reimherr needs to seek student support on fee

March 12, 2009

I find it alarming that Patrick Reimherr is so willing to actively push a fee increase without proven student support. If, as he says, broad student support does exist, then he ought to have no problem with a general referendum on the issue.

Fee not needed to be sustainable

March 12, 2009

We have been reading for months now about fees being increased to improve sustainability. Today, I read another article in The Chronicle, ("Sustainability fee passes temporarily; ASUU must reconcile versions of bill," March 11). But what are these so-called sustainable projects that this money would go toward?

Students should ignore pundits

By By Jonathan Deesing March 12, 2009

If everyone blindly believed the rhetoric of Bill O'Reilly or the extreme claims of the online newspaper The Huffington Post, our country would be extremely divided and misinformed. This is why taking these pundits with a grain of salt is imperative.

Samuel Passi is wrong

March 12, 2009

While Passi has a blatant agenda, scientists have an objective view on matters, basing their decisions and understanding on data and information. Ironically, Passi is entering the field as an opponent to his own career.

ASUU is good for U

By By Jonathan Deesing March 11, 2009

So by all means, continue complaining about ASUU. But don't do it under the impression that ASUU doesn't help students. Because as crazy as they may seem, they still love U.
