Well, here we are again. The end of the semester and the beginning of finals is upon us. While most of us will probably spend the next week burying our noses in books and sleeping at the library, this might be a good time to look back at the semeste...

What absurd assumptions

Music with substance. It’s obvious to me that you know nothing about music with substance. I’d like to point you to Fabian, Mary Hopkins, Opportunity Knocks, Leif Garret, The Osmonds, The Partridge Family, Tiffany, New Kids On The Block, Nsync...

How is this fair?

What a double standard. So much for the so called “Zero Tolerance for Hazing.” This has now opened the doors for any future hazing at UTSA to be appealed. FIJI shouldn’t have been kicked off. They should have just told members to stay...

Commentary

By:

Letter to the editor in response to “Romo should resign” from our March 30, 2010 issue.

Replete with a tenuous grasp on the facts and the exorbitant demand for President Romo’s resignation, Mr. Hensley’s letter amounts to little more than misinformed opinion masquerading as fact....

Letter to the editor

As a member of Atheist Agenda, I’d like to say a few things to Gonzo Smothermon and a few others. First off, you claim as if Atheists believe or worship Satan. As an atheist I don’t even believe in Satan, or hell for that matter. So the fire a...

Letter to the Editor

I normally would not do this, but in this case it really bothered me. I am not sure if you are an aspiring sports writer, if you are a knowledgeable NFL fan or if this article was just assigned to you off-hand-whatever the case may be. I saw the article...

By: Nadijah Tamimi

Letter to the Editor

The article’s quotes from Glen Reinsford act as an embarrassment to journalism and the principles of truth it is based upon. Reinsford preys on those who are ignorant and pretends that the historical events he sites and his foundationless opinions o...

So I’m sitting outside the HSS today in “Smoker’s Alley,” minding my own business, willingly exposing my lungs to carbon monoxide and carcinogens, and knowingly putting myself at risk for various types of cancer by lighting up a ci...

Letter to the editor: Don’t just talk about smoking, do something

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 15:29:11 -0500

By:

Last week’s letter by Nick Hargis was heavily opinionated. With his snappy, irrational, judgments I couldn’t help but think that he was “on edge” and that he “needed” a cigarette. He seemed to take a stance against both...

By: Letter to the editor

As I read Carly Haycraft’s passionate plea in the November 3rd issue of the Paisano to ‘stop whining’ about litter caused by smokers and to ‘walk around’ the smokers, I am reminded that I shouldn’t have to avoid smokers...
