WHO IS racist? It seems to be the question of the week. Am I racist? With dozens of students telling me that I am, it would be unfair to not at least consider the possibility.
HONESTLY, no one likes taking the SATs. Sitting in a classroom for hours on a Saturday with a calculator, a couple pencils and 30 other jittery high school juniors isn't anybody's idea of a good time.
NOW TWO years after the fact, it is time to evaluate the value of Greek recruitment being moved to the spring.
WHEN THE election results were counted, one person was in the lead. After a second vote, the underdog was named president.
FLIERS on Grounds went up right before Spring Break about "End Violence Against Children Week." That sounded reasonable.
MCINTIRE School of Commerce professor Neil Snyder published a column entitled "Reading off the Scripture" in the March 21 issue of The Declaration, in which he argued frankly for America's unilateral support of Israel in the Middle East.
THE MARCH 20 lead editorial, "A declaration of policy," clarified The Cavalier Daily's "policy prohibiting its staffers to write for other news gathering publications on Grounds." The paper came under attack the week before Spring Break in The Declaration's letters to the editor section ("Writer wrong," March 7) when "Trudy Verdad" asked, "As a Cav Daily writer, can I write for the Dec too?" The Managing Board of The Cavalier Daily made the right move in addressing this issue in its proper lead editorial format.
CATHOLIC archdioceses throughout the country have faced mounting accusations that they ignored allegations of sexual misconduct on the part of their priests.
LAST WEEK, the U.S. Senate passed the McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform Bill. The groundwork behind this bill was seven years in the making and President Bush is expected to sign it into law.
I LOVE the Class of 2002, my class, at the University. I really do. But a phone call I received the other night made me think twice about supporting my class by giving to the class giving campaign, something I was most likely going to do.
SELF-SEGREGATION. It's an interesting term, and it is even more interesting as of late at the University.
ENRAGED. Perfectly and succinctly does that describe how I feel. In this day and age, being the angry black man is something maligned and demonized by popular culture.
NONE OF us who spend our free time in the basement of Newcomb Hall at The Cavalier Daily office expect the rest of the student body to fully agree with our coverage and opinions.
JESSE Helms has gone and lost his mind. Thank God. The Republican senator from North Carolina and ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, known for his opposition to foreign aid, wants to add half a billion dollars to the American contribution to a fund for fighting AIDS in the developing world. Perhaps AIDS activists should have seen it coming.
A FEW WEEKS ago, a handful of students from the Architecture School - who are no doubt regretting their actions right now - had a party.
WITH LESS than six weeks left in the semester, one worry springs directly to mind. No, it's not finals - we don't need to start worrying about those until reading days.
FOR THIS week's column, I've chosen not to address a typically opinion-friendly issue like race relations or budget cutbacks.
LIFE in the so-called post-Sept. 11 world is beginning to resemble a bad spy movie. Our Army slinks through caves searching for a bearded villain.
EVERY year University students are targeted by honor societies that offer membership based on supposed academic excellence in exchange for a fee.
THIS IS what I'm sick of: I met a girl on the bus the other day who said, "Oh you're from D.C.? Me too." Where did you go to school, I asked her.
