I want to be free; free to do whatever I please. I do not want to be tied down to one guy. I am in college; I should not be picking out a husband, I should be exploring my options. While in college, I have been dating or hooking up with about four guys at school and three...

Most manners are taught - or should be taught - while growing up, but what about the manners of dating? While on a date, if my fly is unzipped, I would not mind someone pointing it out so I can fix it - it is only slightly embarrassing. I say please, thank you and you're...

Unjust, disgusting, outrageous and cruel were several of the less profane words used by classmates in my public speaking class after we heard our professor had been unceremoniously dismissed by the university. Told with three weeks left in the spring semester to have their...

The Northeastern Patriot recently published several articles on affirmative action, in particular one on Northeastern University's Ujima Scholarship program. I will leave it to others to debate the merits of the Patriot's position on affirmative action, because I feel there is...
