DPS, no joking matter

Stephen K. Barnes November 2, 2007
Now first and foremost here I want to say that I don't mean that in a sexist way. I am not distinguishing between men and women, I am distinguishing between children and adults. It's about time Kevin quit being a child and started acting like a Man. He thinks that DPS is a joke; well I think he's the joke, and not a very funny one.

Radical Christianity

Nathan Howard November 2, 2007
As Peter Barron pointed out [in his letter] ("Response to McShane," Oct. 26), there is a difference between radicalized Christianity and radicalized Islam. However, his belief that they are not equally as dangerous is foolhardy. Although correct in his assertion that we rarely see "Christian radicals . blow themselves up," all one has to do is pick up a history book to see the devastation that Christian radicals have caused.

Visual remembrance

Aaron Meyer November 2, 2007
In response to Phil Hayes' letter, I would like to respectfully disagree with some of his points. While Hayes suggests we should be ashamed by the Iraq War display because it politicizes the deaths of American soldiers and Iraqi civilians, I think that this display conveys a message that is far more important than bipartisan distinctions.

Doing the ‘Crocodile’ walk of shame

John Nolan November 2, 2007
One of the inconveniences of the infamous "walk of shame" is that it absolutely does not matter what you did the night before. Even if you were just chilling with your friends and then crashed at their place, if it looks suspicious, everyone assumes the worst.

Radiohead’s Rainbows-direct to you?

Aaron LaPlante November 2, 2007
Last week, Radiohead released its newest album In Rainbows. This was very unconventional, as the band released its record without the help of a record company. The band chose instead to release the album online in two forms. The more traditional way was offering a special-edition, jeweled CD case loaded with extras ,including a few songs only available in this package, for around $80.

Revisiting Rowling’s revelations

Cecily Erker November 2, 2007
As Dumbledore said in the first book in the series, "The truth is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should be treated with great caution." Yes; hopefully, we can?all?do much better. Clearly, Samiksha Tarun did not do her research for her article on J.K. Rowling's revelation of?Albus Dumbledore's homosexuality ("Albus Dumbledore's coming out calls for re-evaluating role models," Oct.

A new Maj-era

Editorial Board November 2, 2007
The season has begun, and the feeling of possibility is spreading through campus faster than a box of doughnuts in Coach Majerus' office. Basketball season is upon us. For many students at Saint Louis University, the basketball season comes and goes without so much as a raised eyebrow, but times are changing.

Why the GOP must avoid Rudy

John Witt November 2, 2007
As the 2008 presidential campaign heats up, Republicans throughout the country are faced with a difficult choice. They can nominate the candidate who seems to have the best chance to be elected president next year, but who will also alienate a major part of the party's political base and hurt other Republican candidates.

Health nuts

Editorial Board November 2, 2007
Keeping healthy can seem like a daunting task when the temperatures begin to drop and stress levels begin to rise, but personal health is of the utmost importance for students. Staying healthy involves more than simply visiting the Simon Rec and eating foods from Terra Ve.

Iran: Say no to another war

George Caputa November 2, 2007
With all this talk about a possible war with Iran, I think that we forget that we are already fighting a war next door to Iran. It was a scary path that we started down in 2003 that led us to the mess we have today. But what exactly happened? Let's take a little stroll down memory lane and examine this war from its inception.

Colbert character confuses

Editorial Board November 2, 2007
Stephen Colbert tried to run for president of the United States . in South Carolina, at least. Colbert, whose fame is constantly hitting new levels as he reaches out to his audience, is a man of two faces: the character and the real person. The problem with Colbert running for president is that the public has to decide which Colbert is running.

Considering the question of character

Allison Reilly November 2, 2007
Crawling into bed at 3 in the morning the other night, I felt terribly confused. I was even more confused as to why I felt so confused. Things felt rearranged, but nothing looked out of place. Things lacked recognition, but nothing in my daily and weekly activities had changed.
