LETTER: Greeks have more crime problems than they let on
February 13FBI statistics say that 80 percent of all gang rapes that occur in the United States happen in fraternities. An anthropological case study of Greek life by Peggy Reeves Sanday, "Fraternity Gang Rape: Sex, Brotherhood and Privilege on Campus" concludes that sororities are often complicit in the cover-up and sometimes even the set-up of rape cases in fraternity houses.

COLUMN: Globalization is best for all
Alma Olaechea | February 13Globalization. It's a word we hear thrown around a lot these days, usually in conjunction with words such as "protest," "evil" and "corporations." But what is it, really? What are the WTO and NAFTA, and why exactly does their existence cause street battles between activists and police?

LETTER: Government should work for its people
February 12So you think Enron had a great scam going? Imagine a world where you start the year making a wish list of all the things you want to buy and spend money on. Now imagine getting to do all the things you want to do and buying all the stuff you want.

COLUMN: In defense of Bush's 'axis of evil'
February 12As one might expect, the part of president Bush's State of the Union Address that has garnered the most attention and protest is the characterization of Iraq, Iran and North Korea as an "axis of evil." These individual nations protested by calling the United States a variety of names and many traditionally friendly nations also disapproved of the classification. In the United States, Clinton administration officials and other experts derided the remark as "delinquent" or "ill-advised," and I am sure that there are many here on campus that believed it to be straight-up warmongering aggressiveness.

COLUMN: Loving difference on Valentine's
February 11So, Valentine's Day is on the way again. Time for an excess of all things red and pink. Of course, I'm not generally all that big on the whole secular, commercialized holiday thing. But this, pitiful as it is to admit, is going to be my first Valentine's Day that I'll actually be dating someone - barring any unforeseen mishaps between now and Thursday. So you'll have to forgive me if I wax a bit cheesy.

LETTER: Criticism of APS voters ignores other key factors
February 8This is in response to Trey Smith's letter to the editor on Feb. 7. Mr. Smith I understand your criticism of the APS school board, however, your criticism of the voters who voted down the bond issues seems naãve, at best.

February 8Steve Determan's letter in the Feb. 5 edition of the Lobo underscores how deeply entrenched racism is in our society. Luckily, his attempt to refute Ms. Valdez's article was illogical and narrow minded.

LETTER: Time will show that your college degree is valuable
February 8I am disappointed that Brandon Curtis would link the value of his degree of political science to finding a job that would pay his bills. The university system has never claimed that the education offered was practical. It is not the purpose of a professor to "guarantee" a job upon graduation.
