By Melanie J. Knox, Opinion Editor As I Wish I promise that I am not a feminist. It's great that women can vote and have equality in the workplace, but I haven't ever been the one on the picket line screaming in the streets. And I'm still not. However, when it comes to Sing Song, I noticed something a little ironic about the themes of the two ... [Read More…]
Men, you’ll never understand women
Weck's World Happy Valentine's Day! Well, for some, anyway. A lot of guys around campus seem to think this day encompasses the very downfall of society. And with good reason, I suppose. Guys think about girls enough as it is, and most of them don't need a special day reserved for the frustrations of trying to figure out the female gender. The ... [Read More…]
“Portraits of Color” deserves much praise
There is nothing but praise to be given to the "Portraits of Color" production presented by Essence of Ebony last weekend. The show featured different aspects of the African culture and its journey toward equality among the American people. Aspects that are so often cast into the shadows of our busy lives and negligence of other cultures and time ... [Read More…]
Displeasure up with Chapel absences
Students are expressing their displeasure with Chapel in more ways than through Students' Association meetings or letters to the editor. They're expressing it through their Chapel attendance-or lack of it. Among the flood of data presented at Tuesday's all-faculty meeting and Wednesday's Students' Association meeting, Brad Carter and Wayne Barnard ... [Read More…]
Letter from the Editor: United Nations shoots self in foot
By Paul A. Anthony, Editor in Chief The United Nations has a problem-it has a loaded gun aimed at Iraq, but somehow all the organization can do is shoot itself in the foot. Consider for example last month's selection of Libya to chair the U.N.'s committee on human rights. Each region of the world gets a turn to nominate a country, and this year ... [Read More…]
War stoops to inconsistent disarming policies
Through the blinding entity we call 'patriotism,' American citizens are being duped into an immoral war with Iraq. I do believe that disarmament is the single greatest goal humanity should strive toward. But disarmament should not be selective, with mid-major powers (Iraq, North Korea etc...) being opposed so vehemently for daring to be like ... [Read More…]
War should be small-scale
War with Iraq looms over our heads like a great shadow of uncertainty. Our generation has yet to see or experience a prolonged, full-scale war. America has been attacked, like Sept. 11 and the Oklahoma City bombing, and many remember the Persian War. However, a war on the scale of Vietnam or World War II is foreign to this generation. But war ... [Read More…]
Al Qaeda, not Iraq, greatest U.S. threat
By Steve Holt, Opinion Editor On Tuesday, CIA Director George Tenet told a Senate panel that reports of planned al Qaeda attacks which led to a heightened U.S. security alert are "the most specific we have seen." But with the shadow of a war with Iraq slowly creeping across the horizon, most Americans dismissed or underestimated the increased ... [Read More…]
Worship involves life, not mimic of church
The Chapel Programming Team desires to move Chapel in a more worship-based direction. The Chapel Programming Team and I seem to have two different definitions of worship. Right now Chapel nearly mimics what we do in church. We sing, pray, read scripture and listen to a speaker. Is this all there is to worship? Is worship confined to what we do ... [Read More…]
Team needs students
If the office of Campus Life really wants its vision to succeed, there has to be more student input than just three or four students on the Chapel Task Force and Chapel Programming Team. Chapel needs to get back to being student-friendly. There has to be some compromise between what the students want Chapel to be and what the administration wants ... [Read More…]
