I am pro-life. Fine. Each to his own, right? Yet I was surprised the other day to read that people who share that belief are right-wing, fundamentalist radicals who don’t know how to properly use the term genocide (“Pro-life exhibit vulgar propaganda,” “Genocide not an appropriate analogy,” SN 10/26). Though I can understand disagreement, let’s be honest.

While reading the Opinion Page in Thursday’s State News I ran into the letter by Nick Friant criticizing Bobby William’s poor coaching job (“Coach disgraceful, dismiss Williams”). Now, I don’t watch a lot of football - college or otherwise - and I don’t claim to know the game.
The potential drop in the number of international students studying in American colleges is an unfortunate circumstance of the Sept.
Earlier this semester, when I was supposed to finish reading a journal article that needed to head for an editor, prep a lecture for class and evaluate a bunch of papers for my students, I was instead consumed with thoughts of something that affects everyone’s lives on campus.

A couple weeks ago, I noticed that my cell phone was missing. I didn’t think too much of it at first, as I’m notorious for losing things - pencils, money, train of thought - nothing is safe from my lack of organization.A couple days later, it dawned on me that despite my clumsiness with my personal property, I’m usually a bit more careful with devices and items that generally cost as much as my entire usable paycheck.So after a day of retracing my steps, and a careful search of drawers, boxes and pants, I concluded that my phone was lost.
Having to cope with any type of tragedy is not the best feeling in the world, but when there are people dedicated to helping others cope with traumatic experiences, there is a feeling of gratefulness and relief.
