Opinion

EDEL: Against Adderall

Another’s use of Adderall doesn’t make me worse at math or biology, but another’s use of Adderall can make me look worse at math or biology, and that’s nearly as bad.


Opinion

RUSSO: Honorable eats

Perhaps more importantly, it will serve as a reminder that the honor system exists to benefit the community rather than to act as a strictly disciplinary force.


Opinion

CONNOLLY: Life on the brink

I would argue that the lack of diversity on The Cavalier Daily Life section staff impedes its efforts to present a full range of student life experiences to its readership.


Opinion

HUMOR: Dry spell

I went through a two-year dry spell in college. For longer than a root canal procedure but less than the time it takes to adequately learn Japanese, collective reality pitched a no-hitter.


Opinion

FETZER: Continuing the conspiracy

A year ago, I observed that Larry Sabato, a professor of politics at the University, had taken the absurd position that, although the Warren Commission had bungled its investigation, it had arrived at the right result: Lee Oswald was the lone assassin of our 35th president.


Opinion

HORNE: Treatment of tragedy

Connor’s suicide cannot be another off-limits topic that is swept under the rug; this has to be a discussion the administration is willing to have with the students.


Opinion

EVANS: Success of the Swedes

The Ambassador makes it clear that lagom is the secret to tackling the challenge of balancing the protection of vulnerable populations and ecological systems with economic development.


Opinion

WHISNANT: Freedom from fear

There is no contradiction, however, between loathing the horrors of abduction, disease and terrorism and refusing to be scared in our daily interactions with each other.


Opinion

KELLY: Deriding Deep Throat

The administration’s goal of defending national security through increased secrecy measures has crippled press freedom and reporters’ incentives to investigate disconcerting or failing features of U.S. defense policy.


Opinion

BERGER: A lose-lose situation

Criminalizing this type of drug use could act as a deterrent for pregnant women who abuse illegal substances from seeking medical advice from their doctors, if they believe they could be prosecuted.


Opinion

MENNINGER: Major obstacles

The amount of credits required to fulfill such majors and minors cuts down on students’ abilities to experience the plethora of other interesting courses that the University offers.


Opinion

WAN: Fighting for suffrage

The Occupy Central movement in China is a courageous act against the prerogative of Beijing and a justifiable expression of frustration over economic inequality, but it is not making any progress.


Opinion

BROOM: Show and tell

With a digital platform, The Cavalier Daily staff has the ability to have as many photographs or graphics as it likes without worrying about the confines of newsprint.


Opinion

RUSSO: A time for change

Most of us at the University are interested in more than one thing, and don’t need general area requirements to force them to take classes across disciplines.
