First off, I would like to state that I am in no way suggesting that racism does not exist in America. That being said, I would like to address a recent article called “Racial entertainment” [Malaika Carpenter, Dec. 4, 2007].
In her article, she addresses the now famous “white” tree - which she calls the “white [...]

Dear Editor:
As we all have been repeatedly, creatively and probably unconsciously informed over the past few months, our own Temple University has proudly ranked No. 1 in diversity according to The Princeton Review’s list of “The Best 366 Colleges” As we all know, Temple has been tooting and hooting about their achievement from the moment [...]

Dear Editor:
So again, our whole campus is well reminded of the lack of security concerns on our campus from last week’s incident at Anderson Hall. Do we feel safe going to a school in the heart of North Philadelphia? Our administration seems to claim that they are committed to campus security. However, the Student Labor [...]

Dear Editor:
When I walked past the Bell Tower last week, I encountered graphic images of abortions and protesters from the Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance.
I am relieved that a group like Generation Life finally brought honesty to the abortion debate at Temple. The images depicted the horror that abortions cause, and compared abortions to the lynchings [...]

Dear Editor:
My senior seminar art class has a problem: gallery space for our final art show. I am asking you and your readers for any potential spaces or suggestions on finding a large, decent gallery space. Oh, and did I mention in a short amount of time for a short amount of money? The show [...]

I, like you, attended the recent “10,000 Men” rally held on Sunday, Oct. 21, 2007, at the Liacouras Center.
Similar to the Million Man March of 1995, and the anniversary Millions More Movement gathering of 2005, it was a historic and very much needed event.
Historically, few researchers have studied the impacts of such gatherings by actually [...]

On a sports column about the low number of minority head coaches in college football that appeared Oct. 23
Dear Editor:
You have a short memory, or perhaps you are too young to have ever heard about Ron Dickerson, our former football coach at Temple who was black and who was an assistant at Penn State before [...]

In response to “Study: Alcohol increases chance of breast cancer by 30 percent.”
Dear Editor:
As a Ph.D. scientist and Napa Valley winemaker devoted to the cause of ending breast cancer, this issue hits very close to home. We have thoroughly researched the scientific literature and found the following:
1. There is consistent scientific evidence that alcohol intake [...]
