I highly disagree with the majority of the claims Ginny Robinson makes in her critique of the Love is Love campaign ("Love is propaganda?," Feb.
In "Love is Propaganda" (Feb. 15), Ginny Robinson argues that anyone considering the Love is Love campaign with "more than a precursory glance" would find it a "dextrous use of propaganda to advance a social agenda." The word she was looking for was, I believe, "cursory," but that is beside the point - Ginny's glance was blinded by ideology and her column was more propagandistic than last Friday's campaign. Ginny veiled her argument as a call for "critical thought," but this purported lack of bias was misleading.
Re "Love is propaganda?," Feb. 15: The basic argument of the column reads only slightly more mature than a kindergarten student missing out on the latest primary school fad. There are several inaccuracies in Ginny Robinson's argument.
The editors of The Cavalier Daily have done a disservice to their readers, as well as their writers, by publishing such poor journalism as "June Bug" (Feb.
Though I am shocked at the unapologetic pretentiousness of "The Ten Society" featured in The Cavalier Daily's article ("New secret society, The Ten, seeks to reclaim elitism," Feb.
Last week, the Honor Committee reached the two-thirds majority needed to put a constitutional amendment to referendum that would disclose more information about the results and discussion of honor cases.
When Jonathan Larson wrote Rent in 1989, he had yet to realize the legacy he would leave the world. Rent is an thought-provoking musical written about the different faces of AIDS.
Unfortuantely, the issue of Single Sanction reform never seems to seize the student body for too long before it fades.
After reading Ginny Robinson's column ("Love is Propaganda," Feb. 15), I was left feeling quite frustrated - and just as a heads up, this is coming from a straight female. You brought up a variety of contradictory points within your piece. First of all, you wrote "To deny the complexity of love by ignoring the variation in human relationships erodes the campaigns validity," while in fact, that is exactly the opposite of what the campaign is promoting.
I was absolutely appalled by Ginny Robinson's column ("Love is Propaganda?," Feb. 15). How disheartening it is to see a piece that does nothing but speak in generalizations and offer the most absurd arguments for her alleged "argument." I am not involved in the LGBT, nor did I get a chance to even pick up the shirt (I still have mine from last year), but I was outraged to read her ill-informed and quite frankly, prejudicial piece.
While I rarely take anything printed in The Cavalier Daily to heart, Ginny Robinson's opinion on the Love is Love t-shirts is pretty disturbing and hopefully not representative of the University community.
Ginny Robinson's column yesterday lacked the same "validity of assertion" she said the Love is Love campaign missed.
Re "Honor passes tentative public summaries amendment," Feb. 11: Though I am a firm believer in confidentiality and respecting students' privacy, I truly believe this amendment will help the Honor Committee break down the separation between the student body and its elected representatives.
The House of Delegates rightfully tabled four bills last week that would have mandated Virginia universities to cap out-of-state enrollment.
Burying the lead means that somewhere deep in a news story readers stumble upon the real news - something that should have been in the first paragraph.
Many university students have no problem rejecting critical thought in exchange for a free t-shirt. At least, that appeared to be the take-home message of last week's Love is Love campaign sponsored by the University's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Resource Center.
In a move intended to make the University community more hospitable for prospective American Indian students and faculty, members of the American Indian Student Union circulated a survey to gauge demand for a Native Studies minor.
Student Council met two days ago and passed a bill that would allow the University Board of Elections to standardize the guidelines for students to submit constitutional amendment proposals.
Over Winter Break, I went back to China where I spent my first 16 years. Though many perspectives on China are circulated, after talking with Chinese citizens and government officials, I would like to offer my personal observation and reflection on one pressing issue: housing. The continuing housing slide in the United States and Europe has not decelerated the skyrocketing prices of housing in China.
