Letter to the Editor: “Free” software isn’t about price
BY RICHARD STALLMAN
The "free" in free software refers to freedom, not price. Therefore, please describe me as a "free software advocate."
Letter to the Editor: Abortion is 'dehumanizing'
BY JOSEPH LIPA
Ultimately, if anything is “dehumanizing” to women, it’s not allowing them to be born.
Letter to the Editor: 40 years later, Roe still controversial
BY JONATHAN LESNAU
Using terms like "reproductive justice," "needless waits," and "the right to decide when and if to have children" avoids the most important question surrounding abortion: Is the fetus human, and does it have the right to life?
Letter to the Editor: Don't blame the victim
BY WILLIAM ROGERS
We, as a campus, need to recognize that consent may be "sexy," but more importantly, it is required. We, as students, need to send a message to each other that rape will not be tolerated on our campus and that the human rights of each person must not be violated.

BY MOZHGAN SAVABIEASFAHANI AND AZADEH SHAHSHAHANI

Letter to the Editor: Big Ten shouldn’t sell off its integrity
BY SCOTT KASHKIN
For me, the participation of schools exclusively from the Midwest was what made the Big Ten charming and appealing. I hope that advertisements in Michigan Stadium aren’t next, but I can’t say I’d be shocked by anything in a world where money trumps everything.
Letter to the Editor: The ‘U’ should take advantage of local food
BY MADELINE DUNN
Most food served in University dining halls travels hundreds of miles, uses thousands of gallons of water and is picked well before its ripely filled with the essential nutrients that should be appearing on our plates. However, I think that the leaders and the best should try harder to avoid the waste that our current food system promotes.
Letter to the Editor: Voter turnout rates in Ann Arbor are difficult to measure
BY TOM WIEDER
From many years of experience in working the student precincts, including this year, I can tell you that an extremely small percentage of students registered to vote here, who are actually still living here, fail to vote in a Presidential election.
