Opinion

Students should be grateful despite library delays

September 9, 2008

I am disappointed by the remarks in The Chronicle's house editorial ("Library delays are product of poor planning" Sept. 5). I am disappointed by the lack of understanding and appreciation for what has occurred before our eyes in an extremely complex and difficult construction project.

Basic classrooms should be priority

September 8, 2008

Should the funding be approved, the U must follow through with its plan to create more classrooms.

U Book enriches college experience

By By Anne Roper September 8, 2008

Iff students become involved with the traditions and activities at the U, even just one club, they will find the university experience completely changed. Professors will learn their names, and they will stand out among the applicants for a job, post-graduation.

K-UTE should use ASUU funding, FM frequency, local bands

By By Andrew Cengiz September 8, 2008

U drug education program is missing the point

By By Aaron Shaddy September 4, 2008

Perhaps drug and alcohol education at the U should emphasize the same goals that a good sex education course would have: If someone is going to do it anyway, they might as well know what they're in for.

Buy at U’s new farmers market, support local economy

By By Anne Roper September 4, 2008

A quarter of market vendors are only making a little more than $7,000 for their farm labor, but the U community can show its support by shopping primarily at the farmers market.

McCain?s VP pick has too much on her plate

By By James Sewell September 4, 2008

This is not about the ability of women to be both careerists and good mothers; it is about the ability of one woman, with a particularly difficult set of circumstances and distressing lack of credentials, to grapple well with urgent national issues.
