So don't allow yourself to be dissuaded from logic and reason by the seducing "facts" presented by social conservatives. You'll find that life is much more enjoyable when you aren't being scared stupid.

Building a pedestrian bridge across 500 South and South Campus Drive would be convenient for those students who park at the parking lot on Guardsman Way. It would go a long way in preventing auto-pedestrian accidents on the two streets and would facilitate the evacuation of that side of campus.

We depend on our readers to help us correct our oversights, and we appreciate those who brought this mistake to our attention.

Student rankings should also be instituted to offer a young and current perspective on the various institutions. Although U.S. News can serve as a helpful guide, it is not as reliable as the magazine would like you to think.

The Combat Meth Act proves electronic I.D. scanning is not an unrealistic scenario.

Utah needs to do everything it can to prevent youth's ability to use fake I.D. cards.

In its third year, the dance marathon continues to be a positive and enjoyable tradition. Kudos to those members of ASUU responsible for its organization and to the students who participated. It takes dedication to dance for 26.2 hours, even for a good cause. HIT

I think Ted Wilson, head of the Utah Rivers Council, summed up my thoughts when he said, "My goodness, you're going to destroy the most beautiful, natural place left on the Jordan because you don't want to build an overpass?"

"We are the victims!" I love listening to age-old conservative rhetoric. The pitiful argument posited by Drew Conrad ("We must stop liberals silencing conservatives," March 30) has so many holes in it I could use it to strain my spaghetti.

I recognize that conservatism is not dead, least of all on the U campus. I would argue, however, that it has reached a point of near-paralysis. Unless and until the conservative movement can offer more than tax cuts and "drill, baby, drill," they shouldn't expect to be taken seriously by anyone.
