In spite of this, many of us are still stuck perceiving climate change as a purely environmental issue, distancing ourselves from the fact that we are completely dependent on the environment.

So the STUSU election is upon us all and there are some nice issues to choose from, including the ever-present buzz word “accountability.”
Many of the candidates would like us to believe that accountability means openness, responsibility and fairness. For the most part the STUSU meets all of these; [...]

Ever since the spring 2007 STUSU general election, the question has hung in the air: what is “campaigning?” What does it include? What does it exclude? Where does discretion come into the mix? Or plain old common sense?

Matt McCann – The Aquinian
So, can we talk about satire for a minute? Last week, we printed an opinion piece written by Bailey White, about a certain trend in Halloween costumes, and her purported moral outrage with it.
A few hours after the newspapers hit the stands on Tuesday morning, the letters started coming, letters that [...]

Letter 1
The Coalition for Bottled-Water-Free Campuses is thrilled to take this opportunity to inform the STU community of our loftiest aspirations. We are fighting to provide universally accessible, safe, clean, locally sourced Champagne. It is, after all, a “human right,” and we feel that it should be [...]
