October
is a month to celebrate

October
has finally arrived, and I couldn't be happier. For many reasons, October
is one of my top-ten favorite months.
The
price of war, the cost of peace: breaking the cycle
By
Ryan Whitley
This
week I want to talk about the other part of the victim/aggressor cycle,
the path to peace, and identify its strengths and weaknesses followed
by an example of where it has been implemented and is succeeding.
Practicing
tolerance ought to abet a mere claim to it
By
Miranda Mills
My
mind has been decidedly plagued recently, after writing on a rather
controversial topic, in a column deemed by some a "cliché" and
a "lame attempt at humor." Maybe so. It got me to think about what I
wrote.
Quad
became money pit
By
Chris Plumbee
This summer, the administration of the university made a big decision
to spend a major contribution and repave part of the Quad.
Athletes'
greed leaves American sports eating dust
By
Fritz Vaughn
Unfortunately, the athletes we often publicize as "role models"
should not be labeled in such a way, and this past month has only proved
this truth to American sports fans.
Vermont
leads reforms
By
Maggie Sibley
If
you want to see how most of America will operate in 20 years, go to
Vermont. I spent this past weekend in the Green Mountain State, and
was awestruck to be surrounded by such simple innovations as trash
cans with one door for recyclable items and another for common garbage.
Get
me to the polls on time
By
Jamie Kidd
This
year, unlike many midterm election years, is proving to be quite
interesting. Incredibly important policy outcomes hinge on the results
of the elections.
More
to Winston than most realize
By
Lisa Mann
Every
weekend I hear people talk about how there is nothing to do in
Winston-Salem, how the downtown is just awful and what a broken-down
town we all live in the majority of the year.
Remembering
those society forgot
By
Jennifer Thompson
Growing
up in on the inner edge of the suburbs of Charlotte, the closest
you ever get to "the street life" is when you accidentally take
the wrong exit off 77 and end up in some part of downtown that
isn't the part where Discovery Place is.
Democrats
should grant Bush power to wage his war
By
Albert Rattacasa
Last
week's hysterical display of partisan politics by both Senate
Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) and former Vice President
Al Gore angered many Republicans and other Americans alike --and
rightfully so.
