Shifting spotlight from Clinton to new chief

IT REALLY is time to move on. A former president who attracts controversy like honey attracts bees is certainly front page material for The National Enquirer, but even juicy gossip can get dry after it's been repeatedly beaten to a dead pulp.

Don't rush to economic judgement

MUCH AS it pains me to say, it appears that there is a recession in the works. This bothers me - and it should concern my fellow fourth-years as well - for two reasons.

Honorable students make honor system work

IF YOU haven't heard anything about the upcoming vote on the Honor Committee's proposed changes to the honor system, then you've either been living under a rock or have been riddled with the winter flu that's going around.

Honor system unable to rise from dead

LET'S BE honest with ourselves: Honor is dying. It's happening, slowly but surely. The only question left for us is whether to own up to that fact and let it die quickly, with dignity, or whether to ignore reality until honor coughs its last gasp in our collective face.

Bringing diversity from across state lines

OF THE University, Thomas Jefferson once said "the great object of our aim from the beginning has been to make this establishment the most eminent in the United States, in order to draw to it the youth of every state."

Honor system lacks legitimacy

I WANT TO thank the Board of Visitors. After the story last week about how the Board may have suggested some of the changes in the honor system that we will be voting on this spring, my initial reaction was that of smug satisfaction. I've always thought that the honor system could not exist in its current form for much longer, and that it would only be a matter of time before some outside force took matters into its own hands.


Opinion

Break leadership stereotypes

SOMETIMES there seem to be only a few dozen contributing members of the University community. These superhuman students run the publications we read, decide which speakers and musicians we hear and allocate funding for the organizations whose meetings we attend.
