Reading Time: < 1 minute Diego Ibañez article speaks solely to vegans as opposed to all animal products because they are animal rights sympathizers. Not so. My wife was diagnosed as a Stage IV, terminal cancer patient (breast cancer). She went through specialized treatment at a clinic in Phoenix which used traditional, cutting edge and non-traditional treatments. She has been […]
Reading Time: < 1 minute I have a class that required a textbook that we haven’t used once this semester even though we’re now in February until our teacher announced in class last Friday we would be starting to use our book on Monday. So Monday, I bought the book from the bookstore and was warned by the cashier that […]
Reading Time: < 1 minute Individuals need to understand that the United States of America is a nation of laws. We are governed by the rule of law, which is defined as “no person is immune to law.” Everyone who enters into the country is subject to our law. Opponents of Arizona’s SB1070 and Utah’s Illegal Immigration Enforcement Act need […]
Reading Time: < 1 minute As a pedestrian walking from my car to the main buildings, I have noticed that I can’t “legally” get to the library or LA building from the parking lot I use. There simply aren’t any crosswalks there. In other words, jaywalking isn’t really a choice – it’s a necessity. Then again, as a driver trying […]
Reading Time: < 1 minute I disagree with the article titled “‘Tis the Season.” We “huddled masses” are “depressed” because of the weather, period. We gain weight because we have more reason to stay in and watch TV. We’re lethargic for the same reason. Less exercise and activity outside means fewer endorphins and less dopamine in our brains. When it’s […]
Reading Time: < 1 minute Fitness should be encouraged in computer fields. There are certain aspects that employers look for. The obvious one is skill, and another that is very important and often forgotten is health. An increasing number of jobs involve sitting. There are no required fitness classes for a Computer Science degree. As much as it’s sad – […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes Dear Editor, Paradox is often the most profound well of truth and maybe the most important. Two conflicting or contradicting principles can clash so that they explode into deeper realms of meaning. As a senior in the English program, I have learned a great deal from many of my professors, but I mournfully reflect on […]
Reading Time: < 1 minute I read your recent article, “Jaywalking Costs,” about pedestrian safety at UVU. I was glad to see the university taking steps to promote the safety of its students. Imagine my surprise, however, when I was confronted earlier today by a presumably well-meaning driver of a rattling clunker with a megaphone mounted on the hood, loudly […]
Reading Time: < 1 minute This year, I have had the opportunity to attend some Utah Valley University classes and to be on campus there on many occasions. The unprofessional attire by the staff there is sub par. Recent articles in the Daily Herald and other media hail the “all Steinway campus” and the dreams and visions for the music […]
Reading Time: < 1 minute I’m a current UVU student and I love this school. I love the entire atmosphere of this wonderful university. But I always hate walking by the library or somewhere else on campus and have to cough through the areas where people are smoking. I understand that this is legal as long as they are not within […]
