Athletes need adequate security
Two bizarre incidents last week put security at major sports stadiums around the nation under the microscope. The incidents took place during Monday Night Football between the Eagles and Redskins and a meaningless contest featuring American League Central cellar-dwellers on Thursday night. The two horrific scenes illustrate that fans are too bored to behave like […]
Kodak endangers environment, health
To a student at UR, Kodak is probably thought of as nothing more than the provider of cushy corporate scholarships and rsum-boosting internships, perhaps a supplier of film for art majors and maybe to some, Kodak is recognized as playing a large role in the general Rochester community.What you might not realize is that along […]
Printing charges not justified
The announcement that ITS will begin charging for printing has caused a lot of well-deserved commotion at UR. Obviously no students are in favor of having to pay more money in order to be prepared for class, nor should they be. This proposition has seemed rushed from its onset and has lacked the input of […]
Sustained development requires contributions from all of us
Sustainable development is the progression of humanity. It is a long-term vision of progress in which future generations' well-being are held equal to the current one's. This contrasts significantly with many current development trends, such as fossil fuel consumption, over-fishing and exploding population growth, all of which take place at rates suspected to be too […]

UR service workers need student support
As the wind brings in the cool air, it brings in contract negotiations with it. For those of you up on campus activity, you probably already know that some 200 to 220 campus employees, mostly consisting of our steady, loyal and fine building service workers and food service workers are represented by the Service Employees […]

Dorm food, Italian style
Settling back into dorm life can be a serious challenge ? no air-conditioning, having to use shower shoes and ? worst of all ? schlocky college food. Everyone recognizes that campus food isn't exactly easy on the digestive tract, but what alternatives do we have? With a few dollars, some basic kitchen equipment, and about […]
Not all fats are the same
English physician Thomas Moffet once observed, "Men dig their graves with their own teeth and die more by those fated instruments than by the weapons of their enemies." Though spoken in 1600, these words ring especially true today, when the value of a meal is not defined by the quality but the quantity of food. […]
