Opinion misguided and lacked research I found “Identification unnecessary in political realm, Nov. 15” extremely offensive. It smacks of intolerance, ignorance and even outright hostility to the transgender community. Its misleading title provides a taste of the issues within. The author (along with much of the general populace) lacks a clear understanding of transgender issues. [...]

Israel and U.S. relationship under strain  Today marks the day the Palestinian Authority will request the United Nations to recognize the Palestinian territories (Gaza Strip and the West Bank) as the State of Palestine. Because of the PA’s unilateral decision to go to the U.N., it has deeply worsened the possibility of future direct negotiations [...]

Letter to the editor: Barkley needs reprimand

March 23, 2011 at 9:47 pm

I am a USC Lambda LGBT Alumni Association board member. I believe wholeheartedly that it is incumbent upon the Daily Trojan to provide coverage of Matt Barkley’s Twitter comment on Feb. 26 in which he pronounced that he was, “…SMH [Shaking My Head],” with regard to the Obama Administration’s subsequent refusal to continue defending the [...]

This house can learn, too Service learning is the foundation that the Joint Educational Project House is built on. To say that extra credit is “handed out” to volunteers would be a severe understatement. JEP volunteers must earn whatever credit they receive, and the tasks JEP volunteers undertake vary based on which courses they participate [...]

Sustainable food limited Here’s something that should make you lose your appetite: Only 6 percent of food served on USC’s campus is purchased from local producers. Even less is organically grown or raised. The bread on that sandwich you’re eating likely came from a factory in Ohio, the meat from a slaughterhouse in Kansas and [...]

Bike controversies still need a voice To USC officials: To be truthful, I have appreciated your attitude and actions toward the student body since I enrolled in USC in the fall of 2007.  I believe that you actually have the opinions of the student body in the forefront of your reasoning, and as such I [...]

Controversy hits high gear A few days ago I was biking from my home on Ellendale Place to class.

Letter to the editor

Feminism not a simple issue I am writing a disappointed response to Allegra Tepper’s article, “Benefits to New Sexism Blur Lines of Equality,” published in the Daily Trojan on Sept. 28. I find it impossible to consider this a thoughtful exploration of gender experience, as the author introduces her argument by showing utter disrespect toward [...]

Letter to the editor

Healthcare needs to be student priority Though it is not difficult to find political opinions about healthcare policy around campus, few students know what the new healthcare law will mean for them.  Since many students are young and healthy, we tend to not spend too much time worrying about our insurance coverage, which can make [...]
