Philosophy contemplates itself

[email protected] • November 6, 2003

Let us now abolish interrogatories for their intrinsic fault. Everything shall be stated positively in the form of a hypothesis. Clearly, the work of a good statistician can now suit us better than any philosopher. There being at least two or more...

Campus benefits from complaints

[email protected] • November 6, 2003

Teske politely asks the Marquette community to stop complaining about life at Marquette. He calls for us to ignore things we would like to change and make better. A university is intended as a place to freely exchange ideas. In Teske's utopia, this free...

Lack of meal options eats at MU student

McCoy is a freshman journalism major.

Sodexho serves unfairness

[email protected] • November 6, 2003

Management at Sodexho has gotten progressively worse since my freshman year. The practices and policies used to be clear cut and understandable. It was communicated by the building managers to the student managers and the student workers. Now, many of...

Elections need reform

[email protected] • November 6, 2003

The special interest problem is only one of many failings in the election process. We live in a "pay to play" democracy where large donors and special interests are too frequently the deciding factor in elections. Thus, reform of the current campaign...

Confusion cleared up by conservative

Mike Uhrich • November 6, 2003

Therefore, to remove a feeding tube or to abort an infant is a crime. Certainly, though I am conservative, I can conceive situations in which these options might seem best, but to allow them is hypocrisy. Indeed, Mate, what you call a flaw in our logic is...

Both sides guilty of neglect, not facing real issue

Nicholas Zettel • November 4, 2003

Individual rights mean nothing without legitimate conversation pertaining to what the underlying assumptions and positions are. There exists a deeper process. Instead of, "Who gets what right?" ask "What does my position assume and why?" The other side...

MU must prohibit Planned Parenthood

Thomas Jensen • November 4, 2003

First of all, Planned Parenthood is not truly for sexual health or responsible decisions. Birth control is designed to make sexual organs function abnormally, which is a strange concept for health care. This is the reason why there are so many risks to...

Democrats mourn prosperity

Brian Collar • November 4, 2003

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi pouted, "Bush has the worst record on job creation since Herbert Hoover" and "Mr. President, where are the jobs?" If Pelosi's staff supplied their boss with better news clippings, she might have been informed that last...

Debate on life issues vexes students

Vinnie Bergl • November 4, 2003

First of all, absolute freedom for each and every individual in a society is a fundamental impossibility. It always has been and always will be. It is a fact of human nature that individuals have desires upon which they cannot freely act without impeding...

Party plagued by leadership lapses, bungling

Bob Mate • November 4, 2003

First, most Democrats believe only a heroic leader can save them — another FDR or JFK. But look at successful Republican leaders. Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich was more like Henry VIII (see Gingrich's first divorce) than FDR. Former...
