Reading Time: 2 minutes I was amused to read one of your latest installments in The V concerning Joseph Smith. The author did a moderately okay job in questioning the tenements of LDS faith based on their hero worship. The author refers to the sensationalist tactics used to portray the LDS prophet Joseph Smith. However, the author uses effectively […]

Reading Time: 2 minutes I think this school is in great need of a new science building. There are lots of classes taught on campus that can take place in any classroom. Desks, chairs, paper and pencil are you need to get the class functioning. The same cannot be said for many other departments on campus, namely the science […]

Reading Time: 2 minutes I’m curious as to why the student paper would write a supposed news article about Ology without checking out the facts with the developmental mathematics department or the UVU Tutor Lab. Your writer has basically written an advertising piece without labeling it as such for a private, off-campus, tutor service.  I accept the fact that […]

Reading Time: < 1 minute In response to Andy Sherwin’s “Palin: pining for a signing” Andy, a “gargantuan jug of salsa for the chip on your shoulder” is exactly what you need to help straighten out your political thinking. I’m not suggesting that Sarah Palin is the BEST candidate to oppose the current president; but, compared to Obama, she (or […]

Reading Time: 2 minutes Dear Editor, As a student I am constantly running around UVU campus, from one class to another.  Usually after a couple of weeks I find the most time-efficient paths to follow as I travel.  Sometimes these paths take you across grassy lawns.  Honestly I know that I’m not the only person on campus who values […]

Courage to keep going – Letter to the editor

November 23, 2009

Reading Time: < 1 minute I am so happy about the Nov. 16 article “Project Encourages Women to Continue Their Education.” It helps me keep being motivated and continue with my professional career. A couple of years ago, I was feeling a little depressed and kind of lost. I have had in my mind for a long time the idea […]

Reading Time: < 1 minute The UVU testing center is no vacation. Unfortunately, my classes this semester have left me no choice but to pay frequent visits to this dreaded piece of land. Each time I go, I pray that my next experience will be better than the last and so far my prayers are left unanswered. I like to […]

Reading Time: < 1 minute Dear Editor, I am a deaf UVU student. I read a recent article titled “Plight of Utah’s deaf students.” Thank you for supporting the deaf here; we have a lot of oppression and it’s nice to be noticed. I believe students need to be exposed to all cultures because there are so many different kinds and we need to respect them all.

Reading Time: < 1 minute The primary reason for Utah being last in terms of per pupil spending is the high ratio of children to adults. Utah is among the top states in terms of percentage of the state budget allocated to public education, but by the time that amount is allocated to students, the per pupil amount is not […]

Utah is among the top states in terms of percentage of the state budget allocated to public education, but by the time that amount is allocated to students, the per pupil amount is not very high.
