Tate Plaza Abortion Display

They just keep coming. On Wednesday, the Center for Bio-Ethical  Reform, a national pro-life organization, posted their pictures of genocide victims and aborted fetuses in Tate Plaza. And the editorial board is not happy. Whether you are pro-life or pro-choice, this is despicable. Comparing victims of the Holocaust to aborted fetuses is simply insulting. This poor excuse for an organization proves shock value trumps compassion. Some advice: scaring and alienating students does not further the pro-life cause.

Veteran’s Day

Veteran’s Day is the time for students everywhere to sit down and remember the sacrifices soldiers made for us. Soldiers set aside their college years and families to serve this country in war and peace. There aren’t many heroes in this day and age, but this day celebrates the real ones.

WNEG: A bottomless pit?

E. Culpepper “Cully” Clark, the dean of the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication, said Thursday there is no set date or dollar amount until the college will walk away from the WNEG “investment.” While we understand it can take years for a new acquisition to turn a profit, the students deserve to know just how much money will be “invested” until the college says “no more.”

Nice People

Some people are nice. The editorial board is happy to see students help to make a sincere difference in Malawi. We’re excited to see a Christian student group and an Atheist student group team up to make the community a better place. Your efforts make this University proud.

“Once we got to Vietnam, [the pilot] said, ‘Look out of the window,’ … All I could see were bomb craters. I knew I was in the wrong place.”
