Concerning June Bug

I'm embarrassed that Julia Sharpe's "June bug" was published, and that the ignorant and racist attitudes in the article were condoned by the editors of The Cavalier Daily.

Debate worth having

Debate has recently sprung up concerning Julia Sharpe's "June Bug" article in The Cavalier Daily about her study abroad experiences in South Africa.


Opinion

Stereotyping Africa

I am appalled at Julia Sharpe's article ("June bug," Feb. 9). The writer's blatant inability to critically assess her surroundings is evident in her patronizing and stereotype-ridden description of what she saw in Cape Town, South Africa. "Hence the paradox of tourism and Cape Town.

Horribly mistaken

Elizabeth Ford's "Glamorous Mistakes" (Feb. 9) is horribly mistaken about how MTV has portrayed teen pregnancy.

Healthy hoos

As the debate over healthcare reform has raged on during the past year, hyperbole seems to have become its defining feature.

A Shrimp in Spaghetti

This title may seem a tad bizarre, even silly, but it is how I describe myself. Ridiculous as this extended metaphor is, it nevertheless assisted me with my acceptance to the University. I am a 5-foot-1-and-a-half, Italian girl, who is incredibly proud of her heritage and is a family-oriented fanatic.

To print or not to print

Yesterday, The Cavalier Daily did not hit the stands until late afternoon. As our name implies, we aim to publish a newspaper each weekday but because of inclement weather, that promise was not delivered.
