It kills me that I’m not here

Letter to the Editor | Friday, October 2, 2020

I’m not here. It kills me that I’m not here. Over the past few months, I’ve had low-grade fevers, shortness of breath and no sense of smell. I’ve also experienced chills, loss of feeling in my hands and feet, dizziness, vision problems, hearing problems, nausea, weight loss, heart rate issues, fatigue, memory loss, panic attacks,

OCS leader discusses office’s plans for year

Tom Naatz | Friday, September 13, 2019

The Office of Community Standards, more commonly known as OCS, is the campus body tasked with helping students make “good choices,” office director Heather Ryan said. Particularly, she said, the office deals with “social” misconduct — such as alcohol and parietals violations. Changes to office procedures this year are small: it is amending its process

Why should I care? News and citizenship

BridgeND | Thursday, April 5, 2018

I like to think of myself as fairly engaged in politics and the world. I follow many major and minor news outlets on Twitter, listen to a number of current events podcasts in the mornings and tend to look through the major stories of the day in The New York Times at breakfast. I don’t

Not-so minor miracles

Zach Klonsinski | Friday, May 19, 2017

11:45 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 26, 2015. That was the moment that forever changed how I viewed the work done in the basement of South Dining Hall by the wonderful people who work for The Observer. It started with a simple statement: “People are saying Fr. Ted died on Twitter.” I don’t remember who exactly said

Don’t feel obligated to vote

Letter to the Editor | Wednesday, October 26, 2016

Whether it’s to prevent the worse of two evils from getting inaugurated, engage in public duty or display honor for those that have perished for this right, many clubs and organizations on campus have pushed to ensure the largest turnout of votes possible in the upcoming election. My response is this: If neither candidate has

My year becoming a survivor, supporter and activist

Letter to the Editor | Thursday, August 27, 2015

This past year, three of my close friends became victims of sexual and physical assault. I became a victim, and then a survivor, of dating violence, sexual harassment and stalking. The ability to be a normal college student was taken away from me. Every week, I had at least three of the following: police interview,

Practice taking responsibility for your speech

Letter to the Editor | Thursday, January 22, 2015

I have said things I regretted more times than I would like to remember. I have also refrained from saying what I have thought at times because I feared embarrassment or being misunderstood, or I was just unwilling to accept responsibility for my words. Being responsible for what I say is burdensome. The Twitter account

“So we talked about abortion and marriage and re “So we talked about abortion and marriage and religious freedom, and I don’t know how we could not talk about it. I mean, we have to be authentic teachers. We’re not going to be silent about the truths that we hold dear.”

Joseph R. Biden has become the second Catholic President in United States history, but his position on abortion is “one that cannot be condoned” according to Rev. Robert Dowd. 

“Other bishops think that, because he’s a conscientious Catholic whose faith is obviously important to him, we should strike a more positive tone, particularly at the outset of his presidency. After all, in many ways Biden’s positions are more in line with Catholic teaching than Trump’s, particularly when it comes to migrants, refugees, climate issues, poverty and inequality,” Dowd continued.
