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 […]

College lessons I’ve learned   Things I Overheard While Talking to Myself is a book by Alan Alda I bought when the actor came to campus as part of Visions & Voices, and it encompasses some of the most valuable lessons I have learned in college. Lesson No. 1: No one gets to be at […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Response to the op-ed I wanted to correct some misinformation that was included in the Daily Trojan Op-Ed on Sept. 10 which indicated USC has a “free-speech zone.”  No such zone exists on campus. The author also implies that the university does not respect free speech rights.  This too is false.  As stated in the […]
