Utah an example of national change

By By Kiyan Sharifian and By Kiyan Sharifian February 17, 2009

Ideological barriers and agendas stymie our country's ability to reach goals that share wide consensus. Burning political capital on dead-end issues does not help America move forward. In considering the wide array of viewpoints in this country, seeking and acting upon the issues that are universal creates the opportunity to encourage compromise on the sharper issues.

Stimulus money should go to homeowners, not bankers

February 13, 2009

I am sick to no end of international bankers getting more money. I am convinced that they have absolutely zero interest in preserving the American dream, "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness (Property)."

Verboseness a trap for college students

By By Spencer Merrick February 13, 2009

As our vocabulary increases during college, let's be sure to use it to better communication, not our perceived intelligence. It's no easier to understand people who are trying to patch up a pointless statement with haughty wordiness than it is to understand people who are speaking with their mouth full of marshmallows.

Rain clouds don?t hold a candle to the economy

By By James Sewell February 13, 2009

I want to live in a place that values education and social consciousness and wants to reward me (only moderately) for working toward meaningful ends. Surely the United States of America, the greatest country in the world, is able to do this. Or is it?

There is a difference between U students and elementary kids

February 12, 2009

This is in response to Samuel Passi regarding the Durex vibrator ad ("Susie needs a husband, not sex-toy stimulation," Feb. 11). Are we really going to compare a college newspaper, whose readers included those over the age of 18 and beyond, with that of a junior high or elementary school handout?

Senate should reconsider position on bill to expedite student eviction

February 12, 2009

Instead of maintaining a process that wastes six weeks of time, tax-payer money and the time of possible renters, the Senate should snap out of it and follow the House's lead.

Necessity of ethics bill speaks of larger problem

By By John Hannon February 12, 2009

The fact that a bill like this would even be considered is a little frightening. If our elected lawmakers are having difficulty deciding whether or not it is okay to make threats, abuse their power and accept bribes, we have a much larger problem than a bill is going to fix.

Sex toy definitely better than having a husband

February 12, 2009

I think Susie should stick to her sex toy and forget about getting a husband like Samuel Passi suggests ("Susie needs a husband, not sex-toy stimulation," Feb. 11).

Susie needs a husband, not a sex-toy stimulation

By and February 11, 2009

In response to the Durex sex toy promotional ad The Chronicle distributed Monday, I personally am not really fazed by such ads and see them as just another attempt for people to make money off of the broken morals of society. However, I can't believe that The Chronicle and the university as a whole would allow this garbage to be distributed on campus

Utahns confused about Common Ground Initiative

By and February 11, 2009

I am writing you today to express my feelings and explain the Common Ground Initiative bills that are being voted on in the next few weeks. Many Utahns believe that these bills have much to do with gay marriage, but they are very mistaken.
