My name is Kenny Tracy and it is a pleasure to be serving as your Student Body President. I, along with Vice President Chase Mizzell and Treasurer Coy Gibson, are excited to be serving as your executive officers for the upcoming year.
As a victim of a bicycle collision last week, I am completely appalled that USC earned a bike-friendly distinction from the League of American Bicyclists.
In Thursday’s edition of the newspaper, a letter to the editor made the argument that the fervent media attention displayed surrounding the Trayvon Martin tragedy is used solely as a means to exploit the racial divide that still plagues this country.
In response to Wednesday’s column “Americans deserve health care as right,” I thought it was important that the readers hear both sides of the argument.
Martin Luther King Jr. said, “I have a dream that my ... children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” The recent killing of black teen, Trayvon Martin by a neighborhood watchman proves his dream still has not come true.
The myth persists. Contrary to the popular idea that federal student loans have been a consequence of rising college tuition prices, which have increased by twice the rate of inflation over the past three decades, the very opposite is true. Federal loans are, at least in part, a cause of such tuition hikes. As The Center for College Affordability and Productivity states, increases in federal student aid since it’s inception in the 1970s have allowed colleges and universities to raise their tuition, confident that federal loan subsidies would help cushion the increase. As a result, annual federal student loan volume has increased tenfold — measured in inflation-adjusted dollars — every year since.

On Feb. 1, I received an advertisement for an event sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs that would allegedly alleviate some of the injustices in the criminal justice system.
As an international student, I count myself lucky to have been able to experience life in Nigeria and outside of it.
You know it is an election year when liberals like President Barack Obama start making outlandish promises to their various core constituencies in order to attract votes. Often, these promises are far-fetched and to the trained ear they sound too good to be true. And even more often, they involve more government spending and tax increases to pay for them.
Rather than inviting the Carolina community into a potentially fruitful conversation about a rich subject, columnist Patrick Mitchell, “The Coffee Shop Atheist,” has provided us, for the third time in the past several weeks, with too many ideas to consider at once: an introductory critique of intelligent design concluding with a disputation of biblical interpretation.
