Emily Pittinos: Note to self (and others like me)
BY EMILY PITTINOS
The solar system, romance and youth won’t wait. Always choose Jupiter.
Andrew Eckhous: Higher standards for ‘heroes’
BY ANDREW ECKHOUS
We can respect our soldiers, and we can salute our soldiers, but we must be cognizant of their actions at all times because when someone has a gun and unfettered protection, their actions resound even more loudly, for better or for worse.
Katie Steen: Feminaysayers no more
BY KATIE STEEN
Some people might need feminism more than others, and it’s a shame that such a powerful woman like Mayer doesn’t realize this.
Paul Sherman: An obstructive move
BY PAUL SHERMAN
In recent years, the filibuster has been used solely as a roadblock instead of as a tool to raise important questions about legislation or nominations. The destructive nature of the filibuster has been furthered mainly by the creation of the dual-track system.
James Brennan: Solvency isn’t salvation
BY JAMES BRENNAN
No one is entitled to an easy life, to a job or to money. But no one should be condemned to a life of permanent hardship and struggle. The people of Detroit, Pontiac and Flint are no different than anyone else.
Hema Karunakaram: CSG is worth the time
BY HEMA KARUNAKARAM
We go to one of the greatest universities in the world, and we continue to produce some of the world's most ambitious alumni every year. CSG not only provides a powerful platform for developing the skills of those who are involved in it, but it also seeks to nurture all students on this campus and help them to be safe and successful during their time here and beyond.
Emily Pittinos: The grief of moving on
BY EMILY PITTINOS
I think my grief is the quiet kind. I go to class, make art, write columns, go to work and keep my upper lip stiff, because that’s what she’d have done. My grandmother was a hard-working warrior of a woman and, though I miss her stern grace, I feel at peace knowing I wrung myself out to her before she died.
