Playing revolutionary

Those who attended the living wage rally Wednesday afternoon may have had a variety of opinions, but most would have come away with the same feeling: This is really fun.


Opinion

Baseless accusations

LET'S SAY you were going to the AFC, but you forgot your University ID. The attendants will not let you in without your ID, but you've decided that as a University student, you have a right to use the gym.


Opinion

A campaign of bloodshed

THE UNITED STATES has fought unjust wars and practiced immoral acts formed under the guise of a "war on terror." But most of all, the campaign has wreaked havoc in regions such as South Asia and damaged all possible chances for peace and prosperity.


Opinion

Liberty and health care for all

MASSACHUSETTS is truly a great state. From pioneering new budget and tax programs to progressive marriage plans, the Bay State has paved the way for public policies that receive national attention and open up public discourse about possible national versions of new programs.


Opinion

Greek accountability

ZETA PSI, a member of the University's Inter-Fraternity Council, was recently found guilty of holding an unsanctioned rush event last fall that involved providing alcohol to underage first year students.


Opinion

Dubious disenfranchisement

WORDS SUCH as "disenfranchisement" and "fraud" have become synonymous with elections. Unfortunately, there's a double standard in the actions of civil rights leaders -- it all depends on which group is allegedly being disenfranchised.

Opinion

An illegal abortion ban

ON JUNE 28, 2000, the U.S. Supreme Court yet again reaffirmed the basic principles of Roe v. Wade when it struck down the improperly labeled "partial-birth abortion" ban.


Opinion

Slowing immigration

SO HERE'S where we stand on the immigration issue, the policy question that has split the nation: The Senate, led by Democratic Leader Harry Reid and Republican Leader Bill Frist, had agreed to a "compromise" bill that allows for a "guest worker" program and limited amnesty for some long-term illegal immigrants.


Opinion

A fond farewell

WHAT DO Tom DeLay, Newt Gingrich, Richard Nixon and yours truly have in common? No -- it's not that we're all crooks.


Opinion

Apprasing the lead editorial

The Cavalier Daily's Managing Board -- comprising the Editor-in-Chief, Executive Editor, Managing Editor, Operations Manager and Chief Financial Officer -- gathers daily to debate, decide and shape the opinion they will put forth as the lead editorial.


Opinion

A feminist critique

MODERN FEMINISM has become less of a representationof the scope of women's beliefs and more of an opportunity for female liberals to decry the suburban woman's plight from atop their comfortable, academic soapboxes.
