Public meetings protect students, professors
By Zac Cummings
We would all like to think that sexual harassment and racial discrimination don't have a place on campus. At the very least, we would like to think that all university employees, especially our professors, maintain mature and professional relationships with their students.
Editorial | College students need affordable birth control
Playing it safe in the sack just became a lot more expensive for college students (see page 1). Budget-reducing legislation is escalating the price of oral contraceptives for women in college. This could pose serious problems if it discourages the use of birth control.
Letter to the editor: Encourage civil religious debate
There is a disturbing phenomenon that has plagued this nation over recent decades known as Secular Fundamentalism. This is an extremist, uncompromising notion that people should shut up about religion (except to condemn it), but can talk loud and long about anything else.
Letter to the editor: RIAA can't sue away its problems
This letter is a response to Mr. Williams' article entitled "Copyright crackdown: Music industry targets college students with lawsuits to stop illegally downloaded music files." The RIAA thinks that it can will its problems away with the help of its lawyers.
Letter to the editor: 'Otto the Orange' coined in 1992
I just read the story on Mary O'Brien and noticed an error in the story on the birth of Otto. He was not born in 1995; that was the year that then-Chancellor Shaw made Otto the official mascot of Syracuse University. After trying for years to replace the retired Saltine Warrior, the Orange was actually born in 1982, and the name of Otto was given in 1990.

Kris Miller's column added nothing of substance; all he did was stoop down to the level of the thoughtless liberal "ninnies" that he bashed in his column. I thought the topical issues between the two opposing ideologies were things like trade tariffs, individual freedom, income redistribution-welfare and universal health care.

I've spent four years at Syracuse University. That's enough time to have seen all the big shots like Michael Moore, Cindy Sheehan, Ann Coulter and John Ashcroft come to campus and the reactions they've provoked. I've patiently sat in on all of these talks and asked a few pointed questions, nothing too critical of the speaker, out of respect and tolerance.
