Baseball looks to enter the win column

February 18, 2005

The U baseball team (0-6) heads west this weekend in hopes of a victory when it faces UCLA in a three-game series. It won't be easy, to say the least. "They will have great athletes," U coach Bill Kinneberg said. "They always do. UCLA will be the best team we've played to this point.

Letter to the Editor: Funding education would do more for the nation’s defense

February 17, 2005

Editor: What's this ARPANET? I thought Al Gore invented the internet. Seriously though, in response to Mr. Hull's defense of Defense ("Defense funding inspires products that save and improve lives," Feb. 15), I must remark on a few common misconceptions.

MWC to try instant replay in football

February 17, 2005

The Mountain West Conference may not be able to be like the Big Ten in all facets, but the MWC will follow in the bigger conference's footsteps in one aspect this fall. Pending a formal approval by the NCAA on Feb. 24, the MWC will institute instant replay for all football games next fall.

Letter to the Editor: Honk and crash

February 17, 2005

Editor: Carrie Farrera ("Honk your horn, damn it!" Feb. 15) advocates using your horn more in Utah. I agree people should use their horn more. However, it should be part of a defensive driving attitude and not considered a tool to let someone know you think they are stupid.

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.

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.
