Abortion defies logic

By admin | March 26, 2009

"They're not really humans," "Their lives hold the potential to improve the lives of others," "Doing this is economically necessary for some," "It's not morally wrong," and, "If you don't want one, don't get one." Such were the arguments for keeping slaves in the 1800s. Today, these same arguments would be ridiculed if anyone tried to use them to justify slavery, yet all of them are used to justify abortion.

Life in slow motion

By Michael Rogers | March 26, 2009

It's safe to say that I hated this school one year ago. For lots of reasons, I also hated the insecurity I felt within myself. There is nothing like being in a city, state or nation where you don't know a single person.

How to find happiness

By admin | March 5, 2009

As of late, the opinion section of The Collegian just hasn't been doing it for me. Most of the articles are pretty negative, dealing with who should do what and why life is miserable in some way.

A column with no point

By Michael Gaynor | March 5, 2009

People take themselves too seriously sometimes. Everything's so important, so crucial, so consequential. But with Spring Break mere hours away at this point, I'd like to drop all those pretensions of seriousness and just give you some recreational reading to get you excited before school breaks.

Letter: Prague Film School

By admin | March 5, 2009

Quite a lot was written about Prague in the '90s, the city being trumped up as the new "left bank" for expats with a bohemian bent.

A few words of gratitude

By admin | March 5, 2009

I'm sure there are countless articles and editorials in this week's edition of The Collegian recapping the wonderful snow day we all saw on Monday.

Go back to Compton

By admin | February 26, 2009

So last weekend -- what a doozy. After the week from hell of two five-page papers and a test, I thought I was going to explode.

A Merry Christmas?

By admin | February 26, 2009

Last holiday season, I received a number of text messages on Christmas Day from several of my friends wishing me a Merry Christmas.

How I imagine a Collegian meeting

By admin | February 26, 2009

Ahem ... Ahem ... AHEM. OK so, now that I have your attention, I was hoping we could get this meeting started as we really have a lot to get through tonight and that deadline isn't getting any further away. Firstly, you will all be happy to hear that the editorial staff has finally figured out what those red and green squiggly lines under your submissions in Word are, and no, Ben, they do not have anything to do with Christmas.
