Chartwells aims to please, yet misses

Editorial Board • March 7, 2008

In its "Dining Services Guide," Chartwells-the food services company with a monopoly on Saint Louis University eats-claims to be "committed to providing quality and nutritious food with exceptional service." Though Chartwells does, in fact, serve food, the price of this food, quality of service and current hours of operation are questionable.

Concealed weapons an on-campus curse

Editorial Board • March 7, 2008

Some say that the best way to fight fire is with fire. And, by extension, the best way to fight firearms is with more firearms, according to 15 U.S. state legislatures.

Until Last Week, Saint Louis University students directing "A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant, and a Prayer"-a theater piece produced by members of Una, SLU's feminist organization-had little to worry about. They had booked Tegeler Hall for tonight and Saturday, Feb.

Dear SGA: We need to talk

Editorial Board • February 15, 2008

Dearest Student Government Association, Is something wrong? You've been acting rather distant lately. Valentine's Day came and went, and you never called.

Living up to leadership

Editorial Board • February 8, 2008

Lent is a season of sacrifice, especially for Catholics. From Ash Wednesday to Easter, Catholics abstain from a sinful indulgence of their choice-sugar, smoking and sloth top the list every year-to mirror the sacrifices of Jesus Christ.
