Excuses and wasted potential
Many weeks have passed since President George W. Bush took office. Although I have had mixed feelings about Bush, there is one thing I know for certain ? I am glad that former President Bill Clinton is gone. I can hear people on the left groaning, dismissing my remarks as those of a Republican obsessed […]
Letter to the Editor: No-Sweat campaign not imperialistic
In his March 29 editorial observer ?Sweating ?No-Sweat,?? Thomas Paris describes UR anti-sweatshop activism as imperialistic in its driving belief that the workers who make our clothes should earn a living wage. He argues that these jobs are a blessing for many people in developing nations, and that we should not impose American wage expectations […]
Standing together
People complain about apathy on campus. People yell about the lack of unity. I challenge them to do something about their complaints. During the recent rash of racial and discriminatory incidences on campus, much attention has been given to the negative aspects of our college community. Believe it or not, we do have an active […]
Taking responsibility
Every year, April Fool?s Day involves pranks including the Campus Times April Fool?s edition and the Scuzz, published this year by the Azariah Boody Society.Among the people at whom this year?s Scuzz took aim were the Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity for alleged bigotry, SA President Meng Wang, accused of not accomplishing anything during his administration, […]
Letter to the Editor: Take pride

As someone who has not only dabbled in the dating game, but also watched too many ?Sex in the City? episodes, I have to say it makes me feel good to know that I don?t have to plan my years after college around someone else?s needs. Call it selfish, but I?ve watched so much turmoil […]
International scenes
One of the ways UR students find a sense of escape is through the study abroad program. Study abroad locations such as Arezzo, Italy and Cairo, Egypt have beautiful scenery and are not covered with snow for the most part of the school year.Therefore, there has been a contest organized to bring us the best […]
Letter to the Editor: Scuzzy activities
Generally, I look forward to reading the Scuzz each year as an extension of the comedic wit on campus. This year, however, I believe the Scuzz has gone too far. In the past, all personal references were without any information identifying the person being poked-fun at.This year the Scuzz included a personal attack, accusing me […]
Wilson Commons central to campus life
Wilson Commons opened to the campus on April 4th, 1976. It promptly filled campus needs as a home for student services and a comfortable place to hang out. The Commons?s architectural grandeur made it a stunning addition to the campus landscape. While its unique architecture has often posed challenges to functionality, the Commons has proven […]
