New
motto is O! so captivating
Old Gold and Black Editorial Board
A
catchy slogan can be a public relations gold mine for any product, or
even sometimes for a place. That must’ve been the rationale behind
the biggest news to hit Winston-Salem since its hyphenation: the city
now has a slogan.
Cab
service flawed, dangerous
By Mike Capizzani
The
cab service was set up to deter university students from driving drunk
— like I said, a very genuine idea. But it is my belief that this
awful service has actually increased drunk driving.
Bush’s
conservative agenda will harm America
By Matthew Barber
While
I too have disagreed with Plumblee in the pages of the OGB and on “The
Advocates,” I firmly believe Torres’ statements linking Plumblee
to Nazism and calling him a fascist were not only inappropriate, but
unprofessional.
Racist
themes, images found in ‘Brother’
By Sabrina Parker
Maybe
you see yourself on the less relaxing side of Mississippi under Jim
Crow laws, where lynch mobs kill black people in the middle of the night
and no punishment will be given for the deaths or beatings of your family
and friends.
Computer
problems must be addressed
Lindsey Faber & Josey Harris
You’ve
complained to your roommate, your suitemate, your RTA and your professor
when you couldn’t get that web page that you needed. But now is
the time to take it to the next level — complain to a higher authority!
Ashcroft
does not represent hate, bigotry
By Chris Plumblee
I
was encouraged to see last week an erudite and scholarly response to
my position that John Ashcroft has been unfairly maligned while performing
his new job as the Attorney General of the United States.
Thanks
for nothing, ThinkPad bandit
By Brent McConkey & Shaw Lentz
You
have truly earned your distinction as the “ThinkPad Bandit.”
And Brent also gives you props for your clever allusion to the Beatles’
somewhat overshadowed Abbey Road track, “She Came in Through the
Bathroom Window.” Touché.
Campus
lacks individuality
By Erin Butler
Last
semester I studied under David Finn, an assistant professor of art,
in a bona-fide university course. Not including me, there were three
other students eager to bring art to a campus that is unabashedly lacking
on the aesthetic side.
Business
focus has taken ideology out of education
By Brandon Walters
Whenever
I read Ginsberg, I envision students my age, broken, bruised, beaten
and bleeding, scrambling though an encroaching cloud of tear gas. I
often wonder why student activism died in this country.
Distribution
process is inane
By Stephanie Anderson
One
of the few fiascoes here on campus greater than the basketball team
is the method in which to obtain tickets to one of their performances.
Why it is necessary to gather forces at the gates of Spry a full two
days prior to the ticket handout is beyond me.
Iverson,
Eminem examples of modern-day ‘real’
By Jay Cridlin
For
someone who hasn’t seriously followed pro basketball since the
first day a surly, overrated power forward signed the first of a slew
of $87 million contracts, I was quite encouraged by the Feb. 11 NBA
All-Star Game.
