We think it’s only appropriate to respond to an article by two men with a letter by two lesbians who are equally invested in stripping women of their natural rights.
There has been a great deal of talk about President Barack Obama’s new health care bill in the news recently, and I feel that the recent article by The Lamron columnists juniors Joe Flynn and Alex Dee provided some questionable information that lead to misguided opinions.
On March 8, The Lamron published an article by Nick Yager about the Westboro Baptist Church and the United States Supreme Court’s decision to uphold their ability to protest at military funerals.
In vitro meats certainly do represent an “interesting” solution to both environmental and ethical issues concerning animals but as is almost always true when using the word “interesting” as a primary descriptor, there certainly are some issues that have yet to be brought up.
Junior Sam White's "Occupy Geneseo: misplaced activism won't spark change" (The Lamron, Nov. 10) claiming to be "all for the views they hold, but [stating that] the protest itself is backward," irrelevant to Geneseo and "merely preaching to the already convinced choir" reminded me of the age-old rhetorical question: "With friends like this, who needs enemies?"
It is always difficult to explain religious beliefs that are not your own, but sophomore Danielle Ferrante's Dec. 8 article, "Christian Science denies medicine and leads to numerous unnecessary deaths," presented some disturbing and false statements about the Church of Christ, Scientist and the teachings of Mary Baker Eddy.
Cornerstone Cru and its members would like to thank everyone in attendance at the Creation Ministries lecture presented by Jonathan Sarfati on Oct. 25.
I am writing in response to senior columnist David Myers' Nov. 10 article, "Transportation in America can't compare to systems abroad." David, a friend of mine, is correct: public mass transit in America is not comparable to the systems in countries like Japan, France and Germany. Mr. Myers conveniently forgets, however, that the United States in general is not comparable to those countries. There's a lot more to building public transit – particularly high-speed rail – than throwing money at it while pointing and saying, "Look mommy, shiny twains!"
I am writing in response to senior Editor-in-Chief Jesse Goldberg's article from Nov. 3, "Police violence at Occupy Oakland unacceptable." I feel, Mr. Goldberg, that your article is incredibly biased. You did not tell the major details and left out what the protesters were doing wrong.
I wonder how Mr. Yager, a man, would feel if I referred exclusively to first year students as "freshwomen."
I was very and frustrated by article titled "Prospective students hungry for useful tours, not grandma's cookies" that appeared in the April 14 issue. As a tour guide, I felt that the article was written with ignorance and made generalizations that could have easily been avoided had the author done just a bit of research about his topic.
This weekend was Siblings Weekend, as you may know, and my younger sisters were here. On the way back to our room from a light show on Saturday we encountered girls dressed as Native Americans for a cowboys and Indians party. The girls had feathers in their hair and paint on their bodies, and they wore mock buckskin clothes.
On Saturday, The Statesmen, a bar on Court Street, hosted a Jell-O wrestling event. It was advertised as "girls trying to kill each other for a prize of $600 cash." The Statesmen, despite various e-mails and messages on Facebook, refused to answer to questions asking if they would be willing to allow men to participate or host a separate event for men.
In the Feb. 24 issue of The Lamron, the staff editorial "SA Candidates Should Exhibit Decency and Transparency" presented an opinion about my actions without considering all of the facts of the situation. In the spirit of transparency, I believe that it is my responsibility to inform the students who will be voting on March 8-10 about the reasons why I am running for director of student programming and therefore necessarily resigning as chair of the Undergraduate Student Association Elections Committee.
Back in the heyday of imperialism a little over a century ago, Rudyard Kipling rationalized a racist "right" of colonial powers to appoint "leaders" and dictate policies for non-whites under the guise of the "white man's burden."
It is admirable that student organizations are raising money for the American Cancer Society. What would do the most to combat cancer would be local action aimed at restricting smoking on campus.
