Staring the U’s Tuition Issue Straight in the Eye

By , , and • January 24, 2002

It's all too easy to shrug your shoulders and turn away from the tuition quandary. It's all too easy for students to ignore the financial realities and hope that administrators don't push for big hikes. It's all too easy for administrators to lean on students when budgets get tight.

Editor: While I am not a resident of your state, I feel very strongly about the issue of firearms on campus. Throughout America, states and localities have enacted statutes that disallow firearms in certain localities such as schools, parks and churches.

By By Kevin J. McFarland, Sophomore, Communication Skills, By Kevin J. McFarland, Sophomore, Communication Skills, and By Kevin J. McFarland, Sophomore, Communication Skills • January 24, 2002

Editor: I have not followed too closely the policy changes that have taken place recently concerning firearms. I would like to know what the exact current ordinance is and what it was changed from. I know that concealed weapons are now not permitted on campus and that by now people think that there will be no more gun violence on campus.

January 23, 2002

Letter to the Editor: Pouring New Salt on Fraternity Wounds

By By Reed Sutton, President, Kappa Sigma, By Reed Sutton, President, Kappa Sigma, and By Reed Sutton, President, Kappa Sigma • January 23, 2002

Editor: When covering a story in the future, I would strongly suggest researching the organization involved, as well as its members. Rod Harris is no longer the president, as you wrote in the Jan. 23 news story, "Kappa Sigma Busted for Booze." Furthermore, singling out the Kappa Sigma house as the problem on Greek Row is a great way to hype a story, but holds little merit over the past four years.

Editor: This gun issue is not about allowing a free-thought environment to exist on campus. Controlling thoughts or opinions with guns is what terrorists try to do. The debate is not about safety concerns at the Olympics. One can already see the fences and security check points coming into place for the Games.

Letter to the Editor: Rationalizing the Concealed Weapon Agenda

By By Tyson A. Romney, Junior, Political Science, By Tyson A. Romney, Junior, Political Science, and By Tyson A. Romney, Junior, Political Science • January 23, 2002

Editor: I write in response to the Jan. 22 guest opinion column written by Assistant Professor of Political Science Mark Button, "Concealed Guns Poison Soil of Academic Freedom." In his article, Mark seems to be convinced that the great majority of students walk around campus under a cloud of "suspicion, anxiety and fear" about guns.
