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 […]

A human cannot be illegal.” He went on to write, “We have to understand the plight of illegal immigrants entering our state,” and that “amnesty should be […]

Presence of guns creates a safer society John Gudenzi’s opinion article published April 23, titled “Presence of guns would trigger anxiety,” is laden with misrepresentations. The most heinous of them is the misrepresentation of the ruling by the Colorado Court of Appeals, which decided to revoke the earlier ruling — not on the basis of […]

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 […]

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 […]
