Arab Culture Crisis

|

Just recently, the Israeli cabinet voted to expand the ground war in southern Lebanon in its continued effort to uproot Hezbollah's terror infrastructure, which has been assailing the Israeli civilian population.

Making Fieldstock a Tradition

|

With the demise of Tubestock, a hallmark of sophomore summer for the past 20 years and an event that students have looked forward to since freshman fall, many sophomores feel that a right of their summer was taken away from them.

Education isn't just for working women

|

To the Editor: While I share Deborah Wassel '07's feeling of obligation to "do something great" with my life, and I appreciate her support of gender equality at home and the workplace, I consider part of her argument ("Women at Work," July 18) unfair.

Evaluating the AC system situation

|

To the Editor: I think last Thursday's article about the valve breaking in Alumni Gym was one for the classic archives ("Valve causes serious AC failure at gym," July 27). The whole idea that a faulty valve ordered for a brand new fitness center would render the facility useless (or at best suffocating) for the entire student body for pretty much the rest of the summer is just so utterly absurd that it actually doesn't surprise me; rather it highlights the utter incompetence behind some of the things that go on around here.

Boo and Rally

|

My co-workers and I have been joking this past week that while our tans look like they've been acquired at some exotic locale, their origin is unfortunately much more pedestrian.

Is There No Honor Anymore?

|

To the Editor: I want to refute Brian Chao's article, "No Justification for Zidane's Head-Butt." I don't claim to know the specifics of this case or to know what actually happened between the two soccer players, whether Zidane's sister and sick mother were insulted or not.

Mahmoud's Game of Chess

|

Right now, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is smiling. Death and destruction make him happy -- especially when it advances his maniacal schemes and especially when those doing the dying have coffins draped by the Star of David.

This Might Be Abrasive, But...

|

The issue of gender equity in schools is older than the hills. Well, it's pretty old, at least. It therefore didn't surprise me to read the New York Times' recent series on the "gender gap" in higher education.

What "Underdogs?"

|

To the Editor: Thank you for running such a great humor piece, "Rooting for the underdog: How the Mets shape my life," about the "underdog" New York Mets in the July 6 issue!

No Justification for Zidane's Head-Butt

|

To the Editor: I am writing to voice my strong disagreement with Jennifer Yu's article, "Zidane deserves sympathy, not scorn, following head-butt," (July 13) expressing understanding for Zinedine Zidane's disgraceful act on the pitch in last Sunday's final.
