Letter to the Community
Our health care offer is consistent with the university's commitment to offer comprehensive health-care benefits designed to promote and sustain good health for all of its employees and their families.
Education: The Issue of 2012
It sounds to me like Santorum is giving up when he says we should put education in the hands of "parents and local communities" letting them "deal with that."
The Many Shortcomings of Groupwise Email
I have yet to hear any positive feedback from actual Novell users on campus.
American Public Goes Unrepresented in the Oscars
The people in the Academy are predominantly white, male and above the age of 50, meaning that the movies they choose often reflect the values and cultural biases of that demographic. I am not represented by this demographic, nor is most of our Santa Clara community or a good portion of the American public.
Benson Does Not Make it Easy to Count Calories
I think putting the caloric content of their delicacies on display would not only be an easily implemented good gesture on Benson's part.
The Hangover Cures that Work
Here is where I am supposed to say that the easiest way to cure a hangover is not to drink, but I am not writing fiction here.
The All-American Values Live On Through Disney
Walt Disney Company inspires and entertains, but these goals would not be possible without the brilliant craft of storytelling.
The Oppressive Nature of the Disney Conglomerate
America has something of a love-hate relationship with the Disney company.
Prop 1A: California's Train to Financial Deficit
Proposition 1A authorized $9.95 billion in bonds to fund a high-speed train to Los Angeles from San Francisco. This project must be killed immediately.
Student Support for Facilities Laborers
Santa Clara facilities workers are part of our campus community, they are employed by the university and many of them have been working here for 20 years or more. There is no reason why they should be receiving lesser treatment or respect, they are just as much a part of our community.
Celebrity Lives Tainted by Drugs
Amidst all this drug and alcohol use, let's not forget all the Andy Rooney's and the Jeffrey Zaslow's — people who undeniably did more good than harm while they were alive.
Letter to the Editor: Politeness Not Chivalry
I am looking for a world where we hold doors open for the person behind us no matter their gender.
Policing the World
We have lost that special spark that is the true sentiment of the American Dream.
In Defense of Chivalry
When it comes to chivalry, intention is everything. If you go out of your way for a girl because you sincerely find her incapable of doing things for herself (which I hope most guys don't truly believe), she will pick up on that. And if a girl is feeling chivalrous and wants to walk a guy home, this should be acceptable.
Reality Television Degrading?
With the opportunity to enrich our lives with such a variety of engaging and thought-provoking literature and media, we choose fist pumping and slang talking, cat fighting and name calling, "Jersey Shore" and the "Bachelor." If this is the direction American values are headed, I really hope the Mayans got their numerology right.
Letter to the Editor: 4 da Vinci CFs
The punishment enacted upon the four da Vinci CFs lacked conscience, competence, and compassion.
The Freedom to Smoke
The only reasonable way a non-smoker is going to be exposed to significant smoke today is for a brief moment as he or she passes a smoker on the way to class. The notion that this requires a campus-wide smoking ban is baffling.
