This past Friday, Nathaniel Haas, an opinion columnist for the Daily Trojan, attacked the USC College Republicans for being “blatantly hypocritical,” and even called on some members to resign due to a photo posted on social media. Ultimately, we made the decision to remove the photo because of numerous comments attacking African American members of […]

Since the Jezebel article pertaining to USC Alpha Chi Omega’s Rush Email surfaced, members not affiliated with the Panhellenic community have used the information to reaffirm their opinions on the “superficial Greek system.” After reading the Daily Trojan’s recent article “Alpha Chi Omega’s standards create unhealthy images” by Sonali Seth, I felt the issue needed […]

As a member of the Trojan Family, I ask you simply to take a stand with the workers who keep our university running. I ask you to publicly declare your support of a living wage for the campus workers who maintain our beautiful campus, and feed our students for a living; a wage they and their families deserve.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Students should seek opportunities to reach out to local communities

December 6, 2014 in Letters to the Editor, Opinion

With such a large the number of students from different ethnic backgrounds attending USC, I would hope that there is more appreciation of the increasing diversity. As an Asian-American student at USC, however, I have found that many students tend to stick with others of similar ethnic background, which of course is totally fine. It’s […]

It seems as though I’m back at the keyboard too soon. It seems as though history can repeat itself within the course of a few weeks. Speaking of history, it’s time for a lesson. I’m told to “trust the system.” Apparently, it’s supposed to stand for truth, justice and the American way (or some crap […]

Students should make the best of this season of giving

December 3, 2014 in Letters to the Editor, Opinion

This is by and large my favorite time of year to buy gifts for others and find incredible deals on gifts for … well … myself. I feel a little guilty admitting this, but if something is a great deal, it’s worth it, right? Do I really need that pair of J.Crew boots for half-off […]

Let’s talk about stealing. Last Monday evening, the news broke that the grand jury would not indict police officer Darren Wilson for the fatal shooting of unarmed teenager Michael Brown. Riots broke out in Ferguson, and peaceful protests were organized in many cities, including Los Angeles. Stuck in front of a television set on the […]

Letter to the editor: On pundits and protests

By Razan Al Marzouqi
November 25, 2014 in Letters to the Editor, Opinion

I’m not here to offer any thoughts on what happened between Michael Brown and Darren Wilson, on whether or not Brown deserved to be shot or deserves justice, on whether or not Wilson was justified or monstrous. And frankly, I don’t think anyone who was not present that fateful night has any business expounding thoughts […]

Rage, rage against the #FergusonDecision

My roommate and I rode our bicycles to the Goodwill on Figueroa this evening. We were two black women together on the street. I wouldn’t have said that of us any other day. Any other day, we’d just be two students. Not tonight. Tonight, our identities are skin deep. Tonight is one of those dark […]
