Critics miss point

Brian Collar • September 22, 2003

Mate makes some sweeping generalizations and accusations regarding the ongoing conflict in Iraq. First, I'll admit that I'm a bit puzzled on the question of weapons of mass destruction. It seems to me that the president and our allies might like to offer...

Fair, balanced in the midst of all this criticism

[email protected] • September 22, 2003

Although some might want me to censor one side, I refuse to do that. Speaking for my writings, I write it as I see it. Others, liberals and conservatives, should do the same. I'm a liberal in this column, but I check that at the door on production night....

Pepsi priced unfairly

[email protected] • September 22, 2003

I am somewhat embarrassed that a $0.64 issue is finally driving me to take out the pen and rant in The Marquette Tribune. It's a little annoyance but, luckily, it has a very simple solution, so we can use this as a test to see how quickly the...

Bias burns MU conservatives

Joseph Wilke • September 22, 2003

Several friends and I submitted Viewpoints to the Tribune last semester supporting President Bush's Iraq policy, while Tribune columnists and Viewpoint writers — including students like Mate — constantly bashed Bush and U.S. policy toward Iraq....

One with the universe

Sarah Sherman • September 17, 2003

French philosopher Jean Paul Sartre said, "Hell is other people." I wonder if he knew how right he was. For each extra person in the universe, we are that much less together. There is only one, but it is scattered, and becoming even more so.
So yes,...

Fighting for free speech

Television in everyday life

Marianne Gosz • September 17, 2003

Around the world, Americans are often stereotyped as being out of touch with current events or, to be blunt, stupid. Many foreigners think we are egocentric, or that we are unable to see a world beyond the United States. This, of course, is a...

A struggle for all

Nicholas Zettel • September 17, 2003

Here are two pieces of advice for Keener:
First, if people "struggling with homosexual tendencies" want Catholic help, they can seek such help under their own power. After all, we are at a Catholic university. This is our university; Catholics,...

We are ALL Marquette

Christian Eichenlaub • September 17, 2003

For a little Latin, let's try "cura personalis," one of the virtues that our university is founded upon. This "care for the whole person" charges students to develop educationally and socially into adults who are not only true to themselves but also...

Monument violates U.S. principles

Marianne Gosz • August 27, 2003

It is important to have a moral code in your life, and most people get that from religion. The monument is not offensive to those who don't believe in God, but it is offensive to those who believe in American freedoms.
I am grateful for my Catholic...

Twitter Prevails

October 16, 0202

If I am going to download a new app, I need to have a good reason to do so; if I’m going to keep something on my home screen, it had better add some value to my busy life. And to this point, neither Facebook, nor Venmo has given me any reason to consider paying attention to them.
