Letter to the Editor: Missed deadline? Run a write-in campaign

February 15, 2005

Editor: I agree with Taylor Morgan that application deadlines for the election should have been publicized ("2005 ASUU elections leave students with fewer choices," Feb. 14) for those who wanted to run but didn't know about the deadline, there is another option: run a write-in campaign.

Show the money!

By By [email protected] • February 9, 2005

By [email protected]:You're right. We don't "need our student fees being used to buy pancakes and bagels to 'get the word out' about a party's platform." ("Don't Show the Money", Feb. 9, 2005)That's...

Utes retain No.1 ranking

February 8, 2005

While the Red Rocks' score of 195.275 against No. 25 Minnesota Saturday was their lowest of the season, it was still good enough to keep them atop the national rankings. The Utes have already knocked off No. 2 Michigan, No. 5 UCLA, and have seven more meets remaining against teams currently in the top 25.

False start

February 8, 2005

With a boatload of new players and a new coach, the U baseball team began its 2005 campaign the same way it started its 2004 season-with three straight losses. Although Santa Clara swept the Utes with game scores of 5-4, 5-3 and 6-3, it's not as if Utah was blown out in all three games-in fact game one could have gone either way.

Letter to the Editor: Anorexia cartoon hinders eating-disorder recovery

February 8, 2005

Editor: I read your newspaper between classes, or while waiting for classes to start. I normally think your staff does a wonderful job fitting in a lot of opinions and trying to show both sides to a situation. However, the cartoon in which an obese man is wearing a shirt that says, "I beat anorexia," (Feb.

Letter to the Editor: Physicists do a lot more than make weapons

February 8, 2005

Editor: In response to Sonya Kousoum's letter to the editor ("Physics should be used ethically" Feb. 7), I'm glad that she has taken an interest in physics events. But as far as physics being hard (which is what everyone says when I tell them my major), sure it requires time to get familiar with the subject, but isn't that true of anything? Anyone can learn physics if he or she has the time to learn it and have proper instruction.

Why does federal support fall as tuition rises?

By By Linda Ho • February 7, 2005

Popular media portrays the typical college student as hopelessly poor yet decked out in the latest fashion trends while scoring excellent grades. In the real world, students work one or two jobs to live and pay for school. Yet the money hardly ever reaches the bank after tuition, books and food.

Letter to the Editor: Honor the dead, help Iraqis vote in California

January 26, 2005

Editor: I was a soldier. While in Iraq, I witnessed an Iraqi father exhale his last dying Arabic words only moments after begging me to take his 10-year-old son to America. Insurgents brutally killed one of my Iraqi translators. I attended the memorial services of 15 soldiers who were shot down on their way home for leave.

Letter to the Editor: Mayor didn’t oppose light rail

January 26, 2005

Editor: In my letter ("Rocky deserves to be booed," Jan. 25) there is a factual error. I said that Mayor Rocky Anderson had adamantly opposed light rail. That isn't true. I called the Wasatch Front Regional Council and learned that it was Mayor Anderson, now retired, from West Valley City who worked to block light rail initially.
