‘An honest proposal’
“You can plan on girls being girls” struck me as one of the most compelling analyses of girls and their anti-complexity, which I have ever read. The author scientifically observes that anyone who doesn’t live under a rock knows of girls’ crazy tendencies regarding relationships. The article’s only flaw is that it does not go [...]
Concern over the dignity of women
We feel that the article “Students show concern for life” needs to be addressed to show that Creighton students are also concerned with the rights and inherent dignity of women. We are not going to debate the merits of pro-life versus pro-choice as the scope and length of this letter isn’t appropriate for such a [...]
Letter to the Editor – Intersecting identities inform lives
Describe yourself in one word. If you have experienced Welcome Week here at Creighton you have probably been asked to do this before. If you are anything like me you struggled endlessly with this question. You probably answered it differently every time and never really liked what you said. After all, how could somebody expect [...]
Our Mother in Heaven
Somewhere, it is written, “Then God said, ‘Let us make mankind in our image, and in our likeness… And in the image of God, He created them, male and female He created them.” Who was God talking to when He said “us” and “our?” Some say the Trinity; but wouldn’t God have then created three [...]
Paying too much to play
Dear Editor, Creighton’s Campus Recreation Department implemented a new payment policy at the beginning of the fall semester. Despite some students concerns and protests, Campus Recreation has maintained the new policy. The changes substantially increased the cost to participating students. For example, prior to the change, a participating soccer team was required to pay a [...]
Review part of bigger issue
Dear Editor, I am writing you in response to “Overrated Runza disappoints,” an article by Jacqueline Lo that was published in the Feb. 22nd issue of The Creightonian. There were many things about this article that bothered me, but one part made me so upset that I felt the need to bring it to your [...]
Professor’s Praise for CU Community
In honor of Founders Week, I’m celebrating my students of the past 20 years as surrogates for our entire student body. I’m sure I speak for a great many faculty members. I celebrate “Peanut,” a charismatic All-American soccer player, who would come in to review his corrected papers telling me once, “I don’t care what [...]
Letter to the Editor: CSU’s reply to “CSU: For what it is worth”
It is an unfortunate truth that the nature of the Creighton Students Union, and the day-to-day efforts its members take to represent the interests of students, is often left unknown to many of its constituents. Recent administrations have made efforts to spread the word of CSU’s activities, successes and struggles to the student body through [...]
Embrace the opportunity
An alumnus writes to us about embracing the “Meatless Monday” campaign. To the Editor: As a Creighton alum, I’m surprised by the backlash over the “Meatless Monday” campaign. Most unsettling is the callous response by some, citing market demand and individual taste as reason enough to end this effort. Why not embrace this as an [...]
