Leah Kraus proposed the establishment of on-campus housing in which a variety of pets, including dogs and cats, could be kept by students (Nov. 1). While humans have domesticated various species to live with as companion animals, there are both benefits and risks associated with this arrangement. We need to think carefully about whether, on […]

All University students are given 10 free sessions a year at the University Counseling Center, which I believe is a well-intentioned gift, but an insufficient one. There are two realities we must face here. One is that, while a good start, 10 sessions of therapy, for anyone, with any problem, is about enough to get […]

Recently, Women's Caucus held a consciousness-raising meeting, where a group of women gathered to share their gripes about sexist experiences they had undergone at work, in the classroom or in any other aspect of their lives. According to Wikipedia, "Consciousness raising (often abbreviated c.r.) is a form of political activism pioneered by United States radical […]

Remember the days before Facebook profiles had turned into lengthy, self-indulgent autobiographies? Think back - it was a long time ago. Some of us were still in diapers. Remember when each page consisted of a simple profile, with a place for groups, friends and a wall? Remember when everyone had just one picture tacked up […]

Thanksgiving break is less than a week away, and students will soon be emigrating en masse from UR. For those who live in the northeast, the best travel option is typically to drive home. Since many students are without cars on campus, this means having their parents drive both ways. This - coupled with most […]

It's a natural period for self-reflection, what with the whole it's-the-end-of-the-year, leaves-are-changing thing, and it even comes with a holiday built in to remind us of what we have that's worth appreciating. Unfortunately, the Campus Times will not be published […]

It doesn't happen often, but it's nice to see an occasional RPO review in your pages. Thanks for Samantha Miller's recent piece. I'd like to see more students take advantage of this top-flight orchestra, especially considering Paetec Corporation's generous underwriting of $5 student tickets. That's an amazing deal. The RPO is a fine orchestra with […]

Students often cite poor team performance as a reason for not attending UR sports games, but this argument continues to be disproved, especially with the play of this year's fall teams, two of which are still in the postseason. The men's soccer team stormed through the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament here last […]

Over the past two years, I have noticed that students as a whole are less socially and environmentally conscious than in the past. There is very little activism at UR and students seem more concerned about what is going on in their social system of academia than in the world outside of college. As a […]
