Editor, I have heard a lot of mudslinging about the vice president's recent hunting accident in which he accidentally shot a good friend in the face with birdshot. Remember that - birdshot.

Editor, Sami Shakir has expressed his right to freedom of speech. His comments are insulting to me by claiming that I am denigrating this issue of the Mohammed cartoons by standing up for my right to criticize government, religion or any other sensitive issues to any other person.

Editor, The recent letters to the editor about the issue of smoking on campus are yet another example of confusing issues related to public health with morality in order to justify regulating the behavior of others. In the United States, people no longer have the right to harm themselves, and anything ...
