Although the refund is well meant it isn't practical. Instead of offering some extra pocket change to students, Commuter Services would do better to keep the money to invest in parking maintenance or help subsidize future cost increases or projects, such as the construction of a parking structure.

It is time to demonstrate some tough love for businesses that put profit before safety. I often hear the argument that regulation strangles America's competitive edge. Is that really the only thing that we would have to strangle to keep peanut butter safe? OK, sounds good to me.

If you drive a clunker, be aware of the pollution you're putting into the air if you ignore the manufacturer's suggested maintenance schedule just to save a few bucks.

Recent debate about the Common Ground Initiative has fully exposed the blatant bigotry that exists in this state.

The Common Ground Initiative was one step toward equality. Granting human rights to LGBTQ people through legislation will not take anything away from society; it will only add to society.

If the greek system is about to fail, let it. If the chapters are interested in increasing their presence on campus and recruiting more students, then the national organizations which govern them are welcome to empty their coffers into the effort. But the U shouldn't spend one red cent supporting a system of social networking of dubious benefit to the wider community.

Students disappointed by the apparently antisocial nature of the U would better profit from the good old-fashioned social networks. Join a club, a fraternity, a sorority, or keep yourself posted on the events on campus.

There are worse things than an insubstantial tax discount, but H.B. 35 is intended to be an incentive, not a donation. If lawmakers really want to convince students to stay in Utah, they should consider a more substantial tuition tax credit. Otherwise, the money should be reinvested in primary and secondary education.

While Huntsman is running forward with Utah, the Legislature seems to be running in circles. Instead of learning from him, our lawmakers seem to be bent on showing him who's boss in Utah politics. You'd think they'd catch a hint that he isn't the problem.
