Andrew Eckhous: Equality overdue
BY ANDREW ECKHOUS
Anything less than a full endorsement of marriage equality for all signifies that our “precious” rights are more valuable than the actual people that use them.
Paul Sherman: Show me the money
BY PAUL SHERMAN
Today, campaign spending is out of control and must be reigned in.
James Brennan: Embracing my inner feminist
BY JAMES BRENNAN
I’ve made a commitment to leave anti-women jokes behind. It’s hard to break a lot of the bad habits I have when it comes to women — hanging out in a fraternity adds to that challenge — but I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t try to overcome an aspect of myself that has hurt others. I’m a feminist, whether I like it or not.
Patrick Maillet: Out of touch and outdated
BY PATRICK MAILLET
The Republican Party has become out-of touch and outdated. It needs to rethink what its core ideals are or it will continue to lose presidential elections. Unless it begins to recognize its faults, the GOP will continue to ostracize more and more American voters.
Timothy Burroughs: A Republican critique
BY TIMOTHY BURROUGHS
Inclusivity and innovation could be just the kick-starts the party needs. If the party can become one of a broader base by preaching acceptance, the Republicans will gain the added boost they need to retake the White House in 2016.
Kevin Mersol-Barg: (Dis)honor societies
BY KEVIN MERSOL-BARG
The Order of Angell should disband and similarly elitist, self-congratulatory groups organizations should consider doing the same.
Joseph Horton: What makes the Mitten?
BY JOSEPH HORTON
Here, understanding can’t always be found on a map, but you’ll know it when you’re there. Or, as a good Michigander friend of mine says, invoking his grandfather, “Michigan’s a destination state. There’s no reason to be here besides being here.”
