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).

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?

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.

The proposed Universe Project is attractive and appealing in some ways but has a number of problems that drown out its positive aspects.

If you attended the recent lecture by scientist Richard Davidson at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts, you witnessed an individual (me) who questioned his research regarding compassion and the human brain.

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

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.

By requiring undocumented students who work to pay out-of-state tuition, the bill is also pricing the students out of a college education. The Legislature needs to vote down this bill, which will only result in discrimination and restrict the possibilities of hundreds of students seeking a better quality of life.

I am writing as a concerned citizen over the Sacred Ground Initiative that the Sutherland Institute has kicked off. The people in support of it claim to keep families together, but only at the cost of tearing other families apart.

There's no doubt we have to seriously scale back our budget. But in an area that so significantly affects the quality of life of Utahns, we cannot afford to penny pinch. We certainly can't make everyone happy with our handling of the budget, but we can help save lives by cutting carefully.
