Controversy hits high gear A few days ago I was biking from my home on Ellendale Place to class. As a student that is well aware of — but has not received — the infamous $300 tickets the Los Angeles Police Department gives out on the corner of Jefferson and McClintock Avenue for riding bicycles [...]

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 [...]

Are Asian Americans a minority? USC has come a long way in diversifying the student body. According to Amanda Pillon’s article on April 8, “Admissions more selective than ever,” the ethnic makeup of the class of 2014 has increased from the year prior to being 20 percent “minorities.” I bet you are asking why I [...]
Read the rest of this article »Right of way I was excited to see the issue of pedestrian safety and traffic code infringement make front-page news on Wednesday, Nov. 18. The article exposed all sides of the issue, from the student bicyclist perspective to the student pedestrian perspective (albeit lacking some conviction), and also the perspective of DPS officials. I have [...]
