Letter to the Editor: Homosexuality is not against truth of the Bible, judging them is

Published Sep 4, 2009

Wyatt Kanyer's "Christians unfit to judge" was difficult to understand because he never defined terms, and it was splattered with his own judgments. In any opinion article or argument, one must always define the terms he or she is arguing.

Nowhere in the article was Kanyer's definition of "judgment" clearly identified. Another term that was not clearly defined was "homosexual lifestyle." This may have been because there is no single definition of a homosexual lifestyle. Just as there are uncountable heterosexual lifestyles, there are innumerable homosexual lifestyles.

The university has treated a total of 185 students with type A influenza, or about 2 percent of the student population, and six of those cases were confirmed by county health officials to be H1N1, a university official said.

The university has now publicly joined SMU and other universities in Texas and around the nation in protest of Bud Light's "Fan Cans" promotion.

Dethroned Miss California has every right to sue

Published Sep 3, 2009

As an ardent supporter of hard-hitting, informative news, I felt it was my duty and obligation to keep the students at the university informed about one of the most crucial, and yet veiled, issues affecting our country in the last week.

No, it's not health care reform, nor is it a new strategy for the war in Afghanistan. The story I'm talking about is much more disturbing and leads right to the core of American culture.
