USC Parking should not have to teach us manners. I agree with Ms. Sneider’s letter, published March 22. USC parking seems like a horribly lucrative institution at times. However, USC Transportation can make as much money as it wants by enforcing the rule against parking in more than one space. Parking in more than one [...]

USC should make fresh food and non-bottled water more accessible.  I strongly agree with Tim Clayton’s opinion column “USC promotes healthy eating, doesn’t deliver,” published Feb. 7. Though the university might encourage nutrition with its words, it fails to make healthy food available and affordable for students. USC Hospitality should immediately make two sweeping policy [...]

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.

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 [...]

Letter to the editor

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 [...]
