Marijuana Prohibition
Michael He's scathing editorial of Scott Jeffrey's stance on the legalization of marijuana is completely absurd and unfounded. I am not a supporter of Scott Jeffrey but I do support the legalization of marijuana for the reasons he gives and many others.Jeffery is completely correct in saying that the over 20 million marijuana smokers in […]
Find something better to do.
Wow, never would I have thought that someone would waste their time to write such an article. The fact that you were offended by a word that the dictionary defines as "To name and dedicate ceremonially: christen a ship." is ridiculous. Granted the word has a religious definition, but the paper used the NON-RELIGIOUS definition.It […]
No Wings and No Research?
As a lifelong Baltimore fan, I considered the Red Wings a selling point for Rochester when I made my final college choice. It saddened me to see them change their long-standing affiliation practically upon my arrival. However, what saddens me more is to see CT publish an article, ostensibly about the Wings, which actually spends […]

Athletes need adequate security
Two bizarre incidents last week put security at major sports stadiums around the nation under the microscope. The incidents took place during Monday Night Football between the Eagles and Redskins and a meaningless contest featuring American League Central cellar-dwellers on Thursday night. The two horrific scenes illustrate that fans are too bored to behave like […]
Kodak endangers environment, health
To a student at UR, Kodak is probably thought of as nothing more than the provider of cushy corporate scholarships and rsum-boosting internships, perhaps a supplier of film for art majors and maybe to some, Kodak is recognized as playing a large role in the general Rochester community.What you might not realize is that along […]
Printing charges not justified
The announcement that ITS will begin charging for printing has caused a lot of well-deserved commotion at UR. Obviously no students are in favor of having to pay more money in order to be prepared for class, nor should they be. This proposition has seemed rushed from its onset and has lacked the input of […]
Sustained development requires contributions from all of us
Sustainable development is the progression of humanity. It is a long-term vision of progress in which future generations' well-being are held equal to the current one's. This contrasts significantly with many current development trends, such as fossil fuel consumption, over-fishing and exploding population growth, all of which take place at rates suspected to be too […]
