Keep advertisers out of Facebook formula
By Jett Wells
Facebook users at Syracuse University have watched their addictive social network evolve from a sleek and young private world for college students to an all-too-viable option for advertisers to probe and analyze targeted consumers and their published personalities.
Fusion program gives LGBT minorities safe haven
By Zac Cummings
Let me begin by saying that I am a staunch supporter of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender rights. But when I first heard about the LGBT Center's Fusion program, I almost lost it.
Letters | Football frustrations
By John Winthrop
My SU class was '62, so I've seen some good Orange football games, even though I DID have to brave the elements in cold, old Archbold Stadium. So what happened? Why is the team SO BAD now? It's an embarrassment, actually. And I get the feeling it isn't going to get any better anytime soon.
Letters | Freshman fan story inaccurate
By Darryl Patteson
While The Daily Orange routinely does a fine job on campus news coverage, Monday's Pulp article "Freshman Orientation" failed on many levels. The story quoted only freshmen and showed no actual "at-game" reporting. The dominant photograph shows students wearing Otto's Army and Homecoming 2006 T-shirts.
Letters | Re: Roberts' event promotion
By Kevin Morrow
Re: Roberts' event promotion In a Thursday (Sept. 13) editorial, The Daily Orange criticized the university for failing to inform the campus community about Wednesday's Newhouse III dedication activities, including the keynote address by Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr.
Letters | Academic freedom
By Mark Rupert
In his column last Friday, Shawn O'Donoghue suggests that the political science department, and me as its chair, are not fulfilling our responsibilities "to make sure a broad variety of political philosophies are discussed in depth with students." He seems to believe that the department should take a more activist role in specifying course content to professors.
Letters | Beauty pageant challenge
By Jessica Martin
Beauty pageant challenge In response to the article "Miss South Carolina is a beauty, not a brain," (Sept. 4) by Caroline Mojonnier. Mojonnier was correct when she stated that the Miss Teen USA pageant is "first and foremost a beauty pageant," but I ask that she and the readers of The Daily Orange to please not hold all pageants and their contestants to the stereotype and negative connotation that the Miss Teen USA pageant and Miss Teen South Carolina may bring to mind, one in which pageants value beauty rather than substance.
Letters | Warehouse director dismissal
By Jesse Stiles, Mick Mather
Warehouse director dismissal I am writing to express my concern about recent developments at The Warehouse Gallery, a Syracuse University affiliated public art gallery. In the past few weeks, it was announced that the Warehouse Gallery would be canceling the upcoming retrospective of the renowned artist/social activist group The Yes Men and dismissing The Warehouse Gallery's Director Astria Suparak.
Letters | VMAs, free speech abuse
By Gavin Lee Jones
The MTV Video Music Awards symbolized the Apocalypse for both the music and television industries, where class, quality and dignity were sacrificed for trashy tabloid humor and bad production quality. I was expecting to watch the same show of the past, where it had respectable performances, a fun atmosphere and stars I could root for rather than feel sorry for.
