I am a pretty avid reader of the Forty-Niner, but I never saw any articles about the amendments to the ASI bylaws. When I read the proposed changes, “wow” was my only response. I felt like they were trying to pull the wool over our eyes. One of them wanted[Read More…]

Letter to the editor-Peace in the Middle East our responsibility
You know, I am really sick and tired of this victim vs. perpetrator game played by the two most prominent cultures on Earth — Jews and Muslims. Yes, I am a Jew, but I am an American and my Americanism comes first because it gravely affects us all here. As[Read More…]
Letters to the Editor-Forty-Niner BLR coverage

Letter to the Editor – Students need university preparation, need to speak
In the Sept. 11 issue of the Daily Forty-Niner, Krystle Ralston’s column “Professors need to be more understanding”, I just have one problem with Ms. Ralston’s well-written article on the idea that college professors need to be more understanding of students’ needs – she is completely wrong.
