Professor Thanks Students

Neil Seitz March 30, 2006
I was honored to be among the 37 recipients of the SGA Faculty Excellence Awards.?As the nomination letters were read aloud, I understood why I was chosen from among hundreds of deserving teachers.?I was there because a student took time to say thank you by writing a letter.

SLU keeps with Mission

Timothy M. Cooper March 23, 2006
I, for one, applaud the University's decision to charge Loyola students fleeing the wrath of God full tuition for accepting the University's offer to house them. It has been said that SLU is all about the business school, and what better way to teach the future mercantile leaders of America about good business than by example.

Improve SLU Recycling Program

Mallory Schwarz March 23, 2006
To the Editor: I think it is about time that our University took some responsibility in protecting our natural resources. With increasing pressure on said resources, college campuses have come to play an important role in environmental stewardship, and Saint Louis University could definitely make a significant difference.

Judicial Affairs Frustrates

Pat Haggerty March 23, 2006
As a student well-acquainted with the Office of Student Conduct, formerly Judicial Affairs, I know what the office is about. Primarily, they strive to better students and their behavior through enforcing rules meant to enrich students in the Jesuit tradition.

SLU politics Are Partisan

Will Dooling March 23, 2006
Nowhere is there a greater hotbed of partisan politics than a college campus like Saint Louis University. With political banter rising to unprecedented levels in recent months, and the disgruntled teenagers on both sides of the fence spewing the same mindless vitriol, people caught in the middle must endure a constant rain of acid criticism.

Be Smart During Break

Students for Life March 9, 2006
As college students across the nation prepare to embark on journeys to a variety of spring break destinations, a curious coincidence has developed in the advertising campaign of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Planned Parenthood offers a wide range of reproductive healthcare services, some of which include family planning, counseling, birth control, voluntary sterilization, abortion or abortion referral and emergency contraception.

Majors Shouldn’t Carry Same Standards

Sean MacLennan March 9, 2006
The concept that all majors should be treated equally is preposterous and sadly is the principle upon which the University and its scholarship program operate. Not all majors are equal in difficulty or in the amount of mental taxation on the student.

Res Life Responds

Argyle Wade March 9, 2006
I am writing in response to the letter authored by Katie Lewis and printed in the March 2, 2006, issue of The University News. I feel that Ms. Lewis unfairly characterized the Department of Housing and Residence Life as unhelpful and blamed my staff because she wasn't able to get a single apartment.

Look: See Injustice Here

Mary Devine March 9, 2006
Injustice-it's something horrible that happens far away. Something that we should think about, but that never directly affects us. At the last Billiken basketball game, I saw a horrible injustice performed by a SLU student. While waiting for a bus to bring me back to campus, I witnessed a commotion involving two homeless men and a girl from SLU.

Blue Crew, We Can’t Hear You

Chris Viernes January 19, 2006
I can't lie, I wont deny it - of the four years that I have spent here at SLU, only this year have I really gotten into our watching and supporting our sports teams. It is a commonly known fact, although not openly admitted, that our school is widely apathetic.
