Changing gun laws will be ineffective

Changing gun laws will be ineffective

A gunman fired several shots on the University of Texas at Austin campus Monday before killing himself on the sixth floor of the Perry-Castañeda library. Fortunately, no one else was harmed in the incident,however, it does highlight a major issue affecting college campuses around the country: the right to bear arms on campus. Most campuses do not allow civilians to carry guns and I believe this incident is another reminder of what a mistake that is.

The future of the country depends on teachers

Published Sep 30, 2010

Dear Skiff Editors,

I was confused and a little annoyed this morning when I opened my paper to a piece entitled "Teachers already well-off in salary." I became more upset as I continued to read the article. I found Mr. Lauck's opinion predictably stereotypical of what teachers have been battling for decades, starting with his presumption that teachers "wish [they] made more money."

Arming students will result in more deaths

Arming students will result in more deaths

Martin Luther King, Jr. made a timeless point when he said, "Hate begets hate; violence begets violence; toughness begets a greater toughness." An act of violence, in general, is bad enough. Add to that the possibility of worsening or encouraging that act, especially when such action would be preventable, and you have exactly the issue I have with allowing college students to carry guns on campus.

Common Reading is an intellectual undertaking, not political

Published Sep 29, 2010

The choice of books selected for university common readings was criticized in national publications, but the university's selection goes beyond the "common" in the reading, as it tries to choose a diverse set of works each year, a university common reading committee member said.

According to the Inside Higher Ed website, the book selections colleges make were too similar, left-leaning and not sufficiently challenging.
