LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Democrats: It is time for us to grow a backbone

By GUEST CONTRIBUTER
November 14, 2016 2 Comments/in Letters to the Editor, Opinion

I cried. I know many people did, so I’m not ashamed to admit it at this point. I started out simply scared, clutching my phone with white knuckles as I frantically refreshed Fivethirtyeight.com. The predictions coming in were increasingly bad for us Democrats, and I started cursing out Nate Silver and lamenting each state that […]

Illegal Adderall use must be curbed at USC

November 1, 2016 in Letters to the Editor, Opinion

In a world riddled with deadlines and seemingly impossible study loads, the average college student is faced with constant feelings of uncertainty. Can I really get through midterms without feeling like a failure? In this same world, there are so many expectations students put on themselves to not only pass, but to excel, to essentially […]

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Stand for an end to violence

By GUEST CONTRIBUTER
October 25, 2016 in Letters to the Editor, Opinion

Hispanic Heritage Month concluded on Oct. 15, and now Domestic Violence Awareness Month is coming to an end, but let’s not forget that stopping family violence is just as important as the people running for the 2016 presidential office. Elections come and go, but domestic violence hasn’t stopped. Since the presidential race started, a lot […]

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: I was a freshman 50 years ago

By Daily Trojan Staff
August 22, 2016 in Letters to the Editor, Opinion

It can’t be true. Was it really 50 years ago I moved into Town & Gown as a freshman? Growing up in Palo Alto, I always knew I wanted to attend college in Los Angeles. Little did I know that, in 1966, I’d begin my love affair with USC in particular and Southern California in […]

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Previous letter to the editor argues fallacy

By GUEST CONTRIBUTOR
April 19, 2016 1 Comment/in Letters to the Editor, Opinion

This letter is a response to the letter to the editor in the Daily Trojan on March 29 voicing the common misconception that students protesting tuition hikes “can’t have their cake and eat it too.” That letter to the editor presents a false dichotomy. Unfortunately, student, worker and teacher services do not directly correlate to […]

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: USC should go smoke-free

By GUEST CONTRIBUTOR
April 13, 2016 in Letters to the Editor, Opinion

The Smoke-Free Campus Coalition, which consists of undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and staff, was formed last fall with the goal of changing USC’s smoking policy to that of a 100 percent smoke- and tobacco-free environment and of promoting a culture of health. In February, the SFCC surveyed the student body in order to ascertain […]

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Financial costs accompany student activism on campus

By GUEST CONTRIBUTOR
March 29, 2016 2 Comments/in Letters to the Editor, Opinion

You can’t have your cake and eat it too — a line we’ve all heard way too often. However, it’s trite but true, and aptly applies to the attitude many students have in light of recent events. There have been several causes that have galvanized the student body. Recently, the University enacted a tuition hike […]

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: An open letter to President C. L. Max Nikias: A troubled Trojan is looking for answers

By GUEST CONTRIBUTOR
March 22, 2016 3 Comments/in Letters to the Editor, Opinion

Dear President Nikias, Spring break is over and yet many of my fellow Trojans come back restless, not because of the fun they had traveling but because of the looming bills and payments that await them. While students should be able to focus and hone in on getting good grades and enjoying their college experience, […]

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Don’t impeach Sen. Jacob Ellenhorn

By GUEST CONTRIBUTOR
March 21, 2016 53 Comments/in Letters to the Editor, Opinion

I pen this open letter to the sane and responsible USG senators, however many there may be, recommending that they do not vote to impeach Sen. Jacob Ellenhorn at the hearing on March 23. This is by no means a statement of support for the senator, who has by all means earned his own dismissal […]
