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?

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.

Hits and Misses

March 11, 2009

Now that the fee has passed, the Trustees should ensure in their next meeting that such a media council would not waste student fees or interfere with the independence of student media.

Humanities Majors Aren’t Useless

By By Jeffrey Jenkins March 11, 2009

All degrees serve a purpose. However, the fine adjustment between life and real life is more fully realized in the humanities. Don't allow the popular major trends to set your course of study. Humanities majors need not live in fear.

Refugees need better care

By By John Stafford March 10, 2009

America needs to show the world that the words inscribed on the Statue of Liberty are not mere hyperbole, but a respected manifesto of the way we as a people and as a country seek to do good in the world. At the very least we should make a greater effort to look after refugees in Utah.

Stem-cell decision proves Obama is pro-death

March 10, 2009

Barack Obama reversed the U.S. stem cell policy Monday. This is just another "change" in the wrong direction. In under two months, Obama has managed to use his power to take money from my wallet and the wallet of every taxpaying American to help end the lives of living human beings.

GO accountant not at fault for errors

March 10, 2009

Allow me the opportunity to correct the information published in Friday's edition of The Daily Utah Chronicle, ("Parties punished for flawed financial disclosures," March 6). It seems to me that Michael McFall was not attending the same hearing that I was, considering the information that he presented in his article.

Sustainable Initiative a positive campus change

March 9, 2009

Change is essential to improve the quality of our education and our university as a whole. The initiatives we have crafted work to enhance the education one receives at the U, both in and outside of the classroom. This is our chance as students to be the voice and change-agents in supporting the Sustainable Campus Initiative as it will benefit our economy and our university community and decrease our environmental footprint.

Sustainability initiative worth looking at

By By Casey Elliott March 9, 2009

The SCI is a worthwhile investment that can produce great rewards, if we all support it. Please take the time to read over the proposal, fully grasp what this initiative is capable of and ignore the propaganda.

Initiative’s purpose unclear and lacks student support

By By Kasi Goodwin, Ali Amundsen March 9, 2009

We support efforts toward sustainability, but we feel that students deserve the opportunity to decide whether or not they want their fees increased and to know exactly where that money will go.
