In Thursday’s Targum, Ysabel Gonzalez wrote an opinions article entitled Cracks in Another Red Tape System (found here).

She claims that professors and the University at large are not interested in individual students and their needs, but rather in the statistics which represent them. She believes that professors need to take more of an initiative to connect with students …

Among the most pressing of these is healthcare reform. It is necessary to note here that, according to an ongoing Gallup trend poll, a sizeable majority (about 60%) of the public still sees the floundering economy as the nation’s “most important problem.” However, this figure has dropped steadily from a peak of 86% since the beginning of the year, while the number of Americans citing healthcare …

Clyde refused to publish the piece, citing worries that the visceral depictions of suicide across cultures might lead some students to kill themselves, resulting in a lawsuit against the Daily Targum.  The column was written as a rebuttal to Josh Baker’s argument for stricter gun control laws two days earlier.  It is reproduced here, in its original unedited form, so that …

Recently we implemented a forum page into the Johnsonville Press. The forum gives us an affective tool in promoting interdisciplinary and community discourse, and we plan to use it accordingly. In the near future, we hope to develop and build upon community discussion groups geared towards further exploring issues raised here on the JVP; peer review groups geared towards sharing and improving upon the artistic and academic fruits of our labor; and providing a more fluid and engaging experience to our regular visitors. We encourage all of our readers, …

On March 8, Why Are They More Important? appeared in the opinions section of the Daily Targum’s website as part of Anna Norcia’s column, Just the Facts. The piece discussed the recent charges of domestic abuse against Chris Brown, but was more concerned with the public’s response.  In her article, the writer asks why the public is more concerned with the altercation between pop stars Chris Brown and Rihanna than with the wrongdoings of other celebrities.
