Letters to the Editor

Rational thought not based on attendance of a lecture

University should rethink unexcused absence policy

War in Iraq is based on interests, not values
COMMENTARY

Will Brown, whose piece “Rational thought still popular on campus” in the April 15 issue of the Skiff commended TCU for welcoming Robert Jensen and his decidedly unpopular message, ought himself be commended for engaging with a view he does not personally support.
Time with Skiff was well spent
COMMENTARY

From the advent of my personal literacy, I have been a voracious reader. Starting at a young age, even ketchup bottle labels were not outside the realm of my interest; nor were my mother’s romance novels, an incident that prompted an emergency trip to the children’s library and a euphemistic explanation of the word “passion.”
U.S. needs to admit to old faults
COMMENTARY

Secretary of State Colin Powell stirred up a hornet’s nest last week when he briefly addressed the involvement of the United States in the Pinochet dictatorship in Chile. Answering a student’s question about the 1973 military coup, Powell said the incident was “not a part of American history that we’re proud of.”
