Professor's 50 years of service earn him a place in 'U' history
The great thing about Sidney Fine is that he's able to take this huge, sprawling, sometimes impersonal university, and make it seem as familiar and intimate as your family's dinner table.
Letters to the Editor
Late registration
Immanuel Kant, the German philosopher, remarked that if everybody lied, human communication would die out because nobody could be trusted anymore. Loans would not be given out anymore because a promise to pay them off would surely be false. In the same way, if everybody took the position that they will not register to vote and then vote this November, the backbone of American democracy would crumble. Students should register to vote, if for no other reason than to better American society.
Social insecurity
In a petty attempt to push ahead an election-year tax cut, the Republican party is hoping to steal precious dollars from the Social Security program in order to promote its party in the upcoming fall elections. The U.S. House of Representatives split on party lines last Saturday while debating an $80 billion tax cut. With a majority in the House, the Republicans were able to kill a critical amendment and approve the tax cut that will give a break to middle-income married couples and heirs of substantial estates.
