The solution to crime problems like these recent knifepoint robberies is simple. Every year its the same story: cops all over the place patrolling North Campus at all hours of the day and night, handing out parking tickets with extreme prejudice and keeping an eye on all those potential shoplifters at the bookstore, while meanwhile this kind of crap goes on every year at South Campus and the Heights.

Dixie Chicks Column Is Misinformed

By PAT KEWLEY | Mar. 26, 2003

I'm writing in response to Stefanie Alaimo's column of March 24, "Vintage McCarthyism Is Back In Style." In it, she calls the recent criticism of the Dixie Chicks' singer Natalie Maines for her recent anti-war statements "vintage McCarthyism" and "good old fashioned blacklisting." Alaimo then goes on to call this a threat to their First Amendment rights, and that due to this, Maines' "livelihood and right to free speech was put in jeopardy." Though I consider myself a pretty strong liberal and wholeheartedly agree with Maines' remarks about the war in Iraq, I think that Alaimo's column in defense of her was extremely reactionary and poorly thought out, and displayed many glaring errors in logic.
