The philosophy behind the music
The Eastman School of Music welcomed several new faculty members this year. One of them, Carlos Sanchez-Gutierrez, is one of the most prominent living Latin American composers. A graduate of the Peabody Conservatory, Yale and Princeton Universities, he is a fellow of the Guggenhein, Fromm, Rockefeller and Camargo foundations. His many awards include a Fulbright […]
Campus Times Online Website
To the Editor:I receive the Campus Times Online weekly in my email and I appreciate the service as it keeps me in touch with the goings on at my alma mater. However, I wish that you, your staff, or those at College Publisher would find a way to resize your story images before you post […]
Meliora weakened
Meliora" is UR's official motto, representing the university's commitment to be always better. This year, Meliora Weekend lacks the star power of previous years, despite its high quality speakers. It is clear from any Meliora Weekend flyer that none of the speakers are of the same notoriety as, for instance, Hillary Clinton or Bill Bennett. […]
Editorial Observer
The undergraduate student directory, or stalker guide, is a nightmare inducing publication. It prints the name, home address, phone number and on-campus address of nearly every UR student. Admittedly, the stalker guide is useful to me when I am stalking or, rather, if I am stalking. It is also alarming to me, however, that an […]
Letters to the Editor
Alcohol not necessaryAs a UR student, a staff member, and mom to a wonderful UR sophomore, I take umbrage to recent articles by Chris Voisine and Nick Delahanty, bemoaning the downtrend of fraternity-related alcohol consumption.Consistent lack of responsible behavior by some Greek organizations and some students are causal in the recent probations, not offenses by […]

No limit hold 'em – bring on the 'reform'-ation
As readers of my columns note, I attempt to mix humor and wit to make my points seem at least somewhat enjoyable to slog through. However, I find that this week I can only lay bare some of my thoughts on how best to make this country better. Most of these are simple solutions, but […]
The American people deserve the truth
In the days before Watergate, the American people were accustomed to believing everything they were told by their government. Of course, Americans may not have agreed with the policy of that government, but they always assumed that what they were being told was the truth. It wasn't really until the Vietnam War and the Watergate […]
Music being stolen and kids being sued
I'm a college student, and as a college student, I like to think I have a few relatively inalienable rights. First, I no longer have an enforced bedtime. Second, the drinking age really doesn't apply to me. Third, I'm allowed to download all the music I want without having it weigh heavy on my conscience. […]
