LET'S TALK more about whether the honor system is dead. In this space last week, I made the argument that it is. I claimed the time has come to stop pretending our honor system still works and move on to focus on other positive aspects of the University.

LET'S BE honest with ourselves: Honor is dying. It's happening, slowly but surely. The only question left for us is whether to own up to that fact and let it die quickly, with dignity, or whether to ignore reality until honor coughs its last gasp in our collective face.

DATE RAPE drugs. Those may be the three scariest words I've ever read. But never in my wildest dreams did I think that phrase could ever become more than words on a page - that it would jump out of a book to touch my life. They did, or at least they might have - and that possibility is more than enough.

AFTER a brief hiatus, the royal family is back in Washington, D.C. Now that coronation week is over and George II's seat on his father's throne is warm, we can step back from the situation to examine the lamentable trend he demonstrates - the gradually but steadily narrowing circle of political involvement. Fewer and fewer people comprise the political establishment.

HOW YOU do something is just as important as what you do. Recent events in American politics, particularly the closest presidential election in history, suggest that Americans are more divided and agnostic than ever about whether to consider themselves Democrats or Republicans, whether they favor a liberal or conservative outlook. This space is far too short to attempt to argue for one side over the other. I want to consider the way most of us go about thinking about politics, rather than what we conclude after such thought.

DURING the upcoming holidays, celebrate Thanksgiving a second time, and do it a bit differently. Make Christmas, or Hanukkah, or whatever you celebrate, an occasion for giving thanks specifically for people.

DO YOU know who your teachers are? A recent study indicates that close to half of American college instructors in humanities disciplines are part-time - either graduate students or adjunct faculty. Students should be concerned about the quality of their instructors and about their university's exploitation of cheap labor.

THE PEOPLE spoke. The Constitution ignored them. Our bizarre, antiquated, illogical and unfair Electoral College system appears, for the third time in history, to have deprived the American people of their choice for president. But there is an escape from this perversion of democratic rule. Electors designated to vote for Texas Gov. George W. Bush (R) should defect and vote for Vice President Al Gore (D) to secure the election of Gore, the popular vote winner, as president.

WHERE have all the men gone? In the last few years, educators have observed that male enrollment at universities has decreased dramatically. Their reports have prompted concern that men in general are being turned away from higher education.

TRADITION can be confusing. Sometimes, it provides a connection to a rich past -- a sense of history and roots. Other times, it imposes limitations on us. It prevents us from pursuing various goals or activities just because they're not things we traditionally do. The lack of an arts community at the University falls into the latter category.

NEXT YEAR, don't buy a meal plan. If you're reading this, you'll be an upperclassmen next year. Meal plans for upperclassmen are a rip off. Don't get sucked into buying one.

ADULTS lie to kids all the time. Lies like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny don't hurt anyone because they are widely recognizable as lies -- at least by anyone over the age of 10. But sexual education instructors tell lies to teenagers that can be damaging, since those students are likely to believe them.

COMEDIAN W.C. Fields once said, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no point in being a damn fool about it." The University would do well to heed this advice when it comes to its direct approach to promoting alcohol-free social programs.

IF IT weren't so insulting, it would be funny. The resolution proposed by College Rep. Justin Pfeiffer to require the Pledge of Allegiance at Student Council meetings is so insensitive that it's hard to believe Mr. Pfeiffer is serious.

ANALYTICAL writing often involves searching for a common thread, a common theme that ties works or ideas together. If there is one thread that runs through each of us and through our peers in other places and other times, it's reading.

HOW DID we get from there to here? I'm not confused about the nature of the starting or ending points. But I'm not so clear on how we got from point A to point B.

SOME THINGS improve with age. Access to on-Grounds housing at the University isn't one of them. For the most part, housing is as good as it gets first year. That's backwards -- housing should get better as students gain seniority.

WE THINK of this school as a modern university. Even with all of its traditions, we're still confident that history is a foundation that we can continually build upon. We're sure that in doing so, we can keep up with any other university in the country.

BE CAREFUL not to mistake them for Democrats. It'd be an easy mistake to make. The speeches and interviews from the Republican National Convention in Philadelphia have sounded more like the words of progressive politicians than the conservative core of the Grand Old Party.

SOME PEOPLE dream of a world in which everyone goes to college. Just like world peace and universal happiness, universal college attendance is an unrealistic goal. But more importantly, it's not desirable even if we could achieve it.
