Personality reigns in changed world of news
Satellite dishes rush around the screen to reveal "News Alert" in big block letters. My heart rate picks up. The possibilities rush through my head ? plane crash, war development, another Cheney heart attack? But wait, what's this? Nothing has changed in the past few hours. No news is breaking. All that has changed is […]
Letter to the Editor
Everybody should take responsiblityAs we all know, lately there has been a noticeable increase of hate signs on our campus. From your own headlines which read, "Pride Network fight intolerance," "Personalized hate," "I got my pride ? no one can take it away," to educational articles about the Chinese New Year and the Pan African […]
Finding a home for conservativism among liberals
Republicanism on the UR campus isn't exactly in vogue. Often vilified by our peers, those who wave the banner of conservatism can feel as if they have no voice.

In addition to investing an enormous amount of money in this school, we are also investing four years of our lives. Add on the life long effects of this education, and we […]
Sex & the CT
I went to the porn on campus and gleefully heckled with my fellow students. It was very fun. What wasn't very fun was that when the man in the porn took the woman's head in his hands and started shoving it up and down on his penis as she was blowing him, all the guys […]
