Students
need more focus on Iraq conflict
This
column represents the views of the Old Gold and Black Editorial Board.
Even as the debate surrounding the prospect of using force to oust Saddam
Hussein and his regime from Iraq heats up within the international community,
the issue is receiving surprisingly little attention within our campus
community and the community at large.
TV
must improve race portrayal
By Chris Plumbee
I'm
now curious about race relations in the media and how that affects society.
Race in the media is a touchy subject because many people, primarily
black people, find the racial tendencies of television to be offensive.
I'm going to tackle race on television head on just to see where it
leads me. I can't pretend that this is all my own idea though.
Undeserved
tuition hike hits pockets
By Doug Hutton
Something is missing in the financial picture of this university.
Yes, our endowment has suffered due to the economic recession. The
last two years have seen substantial declines in the market value
of our investments.
Anti-gay
sentiment ails community
By Dylan Morris
This is the first time I have ever written anything for the Old Gold
and Black, but the climate on our campus has pushed me to make my
voice heard. It amazes me that on a campus like our own, intolerance
and hate could run so rampant.
Wake
should do more to bring in international students
By Han Hsiang Hsiao
The university is infamous for being homogeneous and there are reasons
behind it. One of the main reasons is that Wake Forest is really expensive
for international students, especially when international students'
home currency exchange rate to U.S. dollars is bad.
Abortion
ad is notably absent
By Jamie Kidd
As the Bush administration threatens to pull out of yet another United
Nations treaty over terms that they have chosen to construe as promoting
abortion, a similar issue has been quietly brewing here at Wake Forest
over implied approval of abortion.
Bad
days seem to cover college career
By Miranda Mills
A string of bad days, a week from hell, college life, the never-ending
workload É whatever your name for it, it's a series of bad days -
just overall badness. Being young and in college, the "bad" can be
brought about by many things.
Poor
Palestinian choices fuel current conflict, plague future
By David Dolgin
Firstly I'd like to make a few corrections to what appeared here last
week. Some of my facts were incorrectly cited. The first was concerning
the raids of Arafat's compound and the documents found there. The
citation should have said, "according to Carolina B. Glick writing
in the Jerusalem Post Oct. 11, 2002."
Declaring
a major can turn into a major pain in the neck
By Jennifer Thompson
Remember way back during the fall of your senior year in high school?
I know for some of you juniors and seniors that time might be getting
blurry (perhaps as a result of alcohol-induced memory loss).
Texts
hold origin, solution to conflict
By Ryan Whitley
It is difficult to talk for long about the problems associated with
the Middle East without mentioning the role of religion. The world's
three great monotheistic faiths were all born out of this war-torn
region; all three claim Jerusalem as a holy city.
No
matter who won in the elections, we, the people, still lose
By Krys Mroczkowski
Well, the votes are in, the ballots have been counted and recounted,
and it's official -- I don't care. No matter which way the "balance
of power" has swung in this hyped-up election, apathy will continue
to rule as my main governing body.
