Failing to Represent
I was walking around one of the freshmen dormitories when I came across an intriguing awareness message randomly scattered throughout the dormitory by our beloved EcoReps. Disregarding the biological, and perhaps even philosophical, differences between human beings and common household appliances, this awareness message is simply a poor attempt to try to educate students on […]

An Atheist’s Response to Faith and Science
The undergraduate student body at UR is composed predominantly of engineering and pre-medical students, and as such I feel safe in assuming that Evan Keegan’s opinions article “Science and Faith” was of great interest to many who happened to read the Jan. 23 issue of Campus Times. Though the piece was well-written, and I appreciate anyone who […]

Ask Estrada: Hookups, relationships, and sex toys
Should men be open to their girlfriends wanting to integrate adult toys into their sex lives? Imitation may be the most sincere form of flattery, but invention is often hailed as the more sincere form of criticism. Men often feel hesitant about this topic because they worry that the sex toys are being introduced as […]

Sister Campuses Must Warm Relations
Everyday of the week, big white busses pull up in front of the ITS. Doors open and bus drivers welcome students aboard. Everyday, at least one of these busses makes a stop at Eastman School of Music, about a fifteen-minute ride. The busses then pick up waiting students and head back to River Campus (RC). […]

Weigh All Ideas For Bookstore Spot
With the campus bookstore moving off to its new College Town location, the school administration is left with a large space under Douglass that they must fill. While in every discussion some voices are heard louder than others, we hope that those in charge will carefully weigh all of the options before finally deciding. While […]

Another AIDS Anniversary: Ted Brown’s take on the legacy of PEPFAR
As we pause this week to mark the twenty-sixth recognition of World AIDS Day, it would also be appropriate to acknowledge the tenth anniversary of the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). In May 2003 this health initiative committed the United States to spend fifteen billion dollars over five years for international programs in […]

Print prevails: In defense of the campus newspaper
It’s clear that print media of all forms is struggling and I would hate to see any of it go defunct. But if there’s one type of publication that can, should and will survive, it’s the campus newspaper. When you work on your campus newspaper it consumes you. It becomes all you can think about, […]
