marriage article too dumb to read
As I read Ben Heaton's article, I almost fell out of my chair. I don't even know where to begin. At first I thought it was a joke. I'm ashamed that such an article was written at my school in this day and age, as it was one of the most overtly racist pieces of […]
Freshman Housing
Dear CT Editor,I am writing in response to the article by Jamie Sokol on November 18th. As an alumni I enjoy the CT online and as a 1999 grad I was fortunate not to have been at the university while freshman housing was a part of the college experience. Though I was on a predominantly […]
Marriage
To the Editor: Is it April Fools's Day? Was I reading The Onion? My jaw is still dropping after reading Ben Heaton's letter in praise of anti-miscegenation laws ("not practiced by the majority of civilized people"?) and, by extension, the effort to prevent gays and lesbians from legally marrying in this country.

Anthony. As one teaching a course on the impact of feminist thought on contemporary life (The Colloquium in Women's Studies, […]
A letter to Jim Mack
As a woman, I recognize that the rights given to us today are not the same as our foremothers had. I am grateful for those who preceded us, bringing equal voting and property rights. The feminists in the early part of the century gave me the right to vote, survive independently, be a part of […]
jim mack will never get any play again
I was somewhat puzzled by Jim Mack's article "The hypcrisy of feminism." I'm just not really sure from where he gets his ideas. Did he really grow up with the notion that feminism's largest goal is public toplessness? Feminism is a celebration of women, and I received different vibes from Mack's article. I define feminism […]
The "Modest" Right
Reading Leila Seghatoleslami's letter, I felt compelled (by god?) to respond. She is absolutely correct. There is a strong media bias in this country. Its liberalism is obvious to anyone willing to open their eyes and see the truth that those liberal elites have been hiding from us. It is a testament to the glory […]
