Apply liberally
In this high-tech age, one would expect engineering or business majors to monopolize well paying jobs. But recent studies by the National Association of Colleges and Employers show that this is not necessarily the case. The job market has extensive new opportunities for liberal arts graduates. Consequently, University students shouldn't feel pressured to choose a major early in their college careers because all types of majors have available markets.
Snubbed?
Remember the good old days when politicians went from town to town, standing on soapboxes and spouting their campaign platforms? Of course you don't. You're a college student. What you know of politicians comes from advertisements on commercials and television news programs. Some of our more politically oriented readers might find out from a newspaper or the Internet. However you receive your information, it is most likely not from the politicians themselves.
... There are still some things that make us all the same.
I like to think that I'm a pretty masculine man. I don't wear pink. I've never seen Steel Magnolias or Fried Green Tomatoes. Even more importantly, I have no intention to. When I eat, I usually need to use at least five napkins. I think guys like Woody Allen give real men a bad name. We're supposed to be strong and supportive to our ladies. We're supposed to be like rocks. One other thing is that we're not supposed to like musicals.
Letters to the Editor
To the Daily:
How could a self-declared "true advocate" of civil rights like Dustin Lee claims to be say the things he did in his letter ("Affirmative action detrimental to 'U'" 10/11/99)? Knowing now that one has to feel rather strongly about his or her opinions in order to air them in the Daily, I am amazed that a so-called defender of "equal rights and opportunities" for everyone could say such things.
