Bush insulting to activists
By
Kat Spangler
This week's celebration of Earth Day was met by the usual presidential
photo-ops (look, George W. Bush in the Adirondacks!) as well as a deluge
of protests from environmental advocates declaring that Bush is allowing
the environment go to hell in a hand-basket.
Heavy
metal stuck 'down in a hole' on campus

Jay Cridlin
One
Wednesday night a couple of years ago, I was up in the Old Gold and
Black office with a few editors, staring at a photograph of a construction
worker standing in a hole outside Calloway Hall.
Freedom
of religion, speech apply to every religion
By
Molly Mattingly
It's
always encouraging to see students so actively supporting their First
Amendment rights, taking to heart their freedom of speech and freedom
of religion to protest what they view as protest-worthy. Certainly
freedom of speech and freedom of religion are rights, but it is unfortunate
to see those advocates of "freedom" really advocating censorship.
Column
neglects additional, broader Christian theologies
By
Adam Ployd
I am a Christian. It has taken me 20 years to define what that means,
and it is a definition that is challenged and develops every single
day. Through my struggles to find a faith community and to articulate
my own beliefs, I have learned that the word "Christian" means many
different things in our society.
Response
extreme, not chalking
By
Rosemary Williams
I read Dustin Smith's column ("Religious freedom taken to extremes,"
April 18) online, and as a prospective student I must say that what
strikes me as "extreme" is not the fact that Christian students
chalked the sidewalk surrounding the Quad on April 14.
Changes
in European politics merit more concern, attention
By
Doug Hutton
While
Colin Powell's peace mission was floundering in Jerusalem and
Venezuela's military deposed a president only to restore his power
two days later, Western Europe fell below the radar in the past
week.
Students
should approach campus security with common sense
By Chris Plumblee
How
safe do you feel on campus? Have you experienced something
that makes you feel for some reason that the campus is not
as safe as you once thought it was? With the recent news reports
of peeping toms and intruders in the women's showers on south
campus, it's no wonder that people are starting to reconsider
how safe they are on campus. However, don't worry, because
the administration is already working on a solution.
Tolerance
a two-way street
By Jordan
Webster
Tolerance
is an interesting word. We know what it means and what its
practice entails. Or at least we think we do. According to
the good people at Webster's, I give you tolerance: "a sympathy
or indulgence for beliefs or practices differing from or conflicting
with one's own."
