Letters to the Editor

Wrongly associated To the Editor: I've followed with increasing distress your coverage of the Halloween party photographs with your president, Amy Gutmann ("Critics demand Gutmann atone," DP, 11/9/06). My distress has nothing to do with the photographs, offensive though they are, but rather with the continuing suggestion and innuendo that President Gutmann is sympathetic to terrorism or to Muslim extremism.

Michelle Dubert | Two jokes, two reactions

Few people complain at constant Jew-bashing in 'Borat,' yet Saad Saadi's Halloween costume draws fiery criticism.

Editorial | A bright spot for justice

Some semblance of sanity finally returned to the Tracy McIntosh trial this week. The former Neurology professor and convicted sex offender had - up until this point - gotten away with his crimes with little more than a slap on the wrist. After promising to show the niece of his friend around the Penn area, McIntosh took the 23-year-old to various local bars and then back to his office, where he allegedly raped her.

Elizabeth Song | When it comes to animal testing, red tape isn't all bad

After a video showed horrific animal-testing experiments 20 years ago, Penn and others have cleaned up their acts.

Gabe Oppenheim | The Jekyll and Hyde of ZBT

Penn's ZBT fraternity has long had a history of good and bad; the two have finally split up permanently.

Editorial | Fix the Legislature

Downsizing Pennsylvania's Legislature should be the top priority of the newly elected body.

Cezary Podkul | Can money bring voters to polls?

In Arizona, voters will decide today on a ballot measure that would reward one lucky voter with lottery funds.

Letters to the Editor

I took a photo, too To the Editor: I am writing to acknowledge that the photo I took with a student at the annual Halloween Party ("Controversy erupts over student in terror garb," DP, 11/3/06) has caused a kind of wounding to some in the Penn community. I did not immediately associate what I saw of the student's costume with the kind of gear worn by a suicide bomber.

Sharon Udasin | Penn should be spreading the word on flu vaccine

With college life such a great environment for diseases to spread, the University should be helping students get vaccinated.

Bob Casey for Senate

As much as Bob Casey may claim, this election is not about electing Bob Casey to the U.S. Senate. This election is about removing Rick Santorum from it. Santorum, a two-term senator, is passionate and works hard for Pennsylvania. He has delivered, with major funding appropriations - and is in a position to become the No.

Guest Opinion: Amy Gutmann | Reponse from the president

As many of you have heard or seen by now, there was a photograph from our annual Halloween party that has taken flight over the Internet.

Agustin Torres | Exaggerations plague Penn's housing brochures

Let's play a little game. I'll give you two description of one of Penn's college houses, and you'll try to guess which one is more accurate. For the moment, let's call our test case "Gutmann College House." Gutmann is the complete college house. It is ideally located near major academic buildings, libraries, retail shops and athletic facilities.

Ed Rendell for governor

Anyone would be tough-pressed to find a major incumbent in Pennsylvania more deserving of a second term that Ed Rendell. Especially if you're voting in Philadelphia; Rendell has been great for the city and the state. Before Rendell took office in 2002, Pennsylvania was ranked 42nd of all states for job growth.
