Show Monday nions October 27, 2008 Letters to the editor Tuesday morning I arrived at U V U campus at 9:30 a.m. thinking I had plenty oftime to park my car, claim my seat on the front row of my 10:00 a.m. class, and possibly even flirt with a few beautiful, female Wolverines on my way. Unfortunately, none of the above happened. My carranout of gas while I was looking for parking, I missed the first half hour of class, and I got a parking ticket for parking in the wrong lot. The increase in the number students is Murde has decreased available parking. Finding a parking spot has become almost impossible. Would it be possible to provide another parking lot along with all the new buildings? -Michael Nuga Thank you for the Halloween issue. I must say that being from South Africa where we don't celebrate the holiday, I have never truly been in the spirit of Halloween. So I was a bit hesitant about reading the Halloween issue of your newspaper. But I am glad I did because it definitely changed that for me. Not only were the graphics great, but the stories you featured were thrilling too. This year, Halloween is going to be a different experience for me, I am now looking forward to the costumes, candy and decorations. Thanks again, your newspaper is much appreciated! -AshleighBucccri Does U V U really care about student health care? Recently I was introduced to UVU's student health care system. I reaJized it is not very sufficient to the needs of students. The coverage you may purchase is expensive and does not really cover everything you would like it to. B Y U has an excellent health care plan, which does not cost much and gives students adequate coverage for their needs. Why. being so close to B Y U and so reminiscent of B Y U , can't U V U have similar coverage? With university status, why doesn't UVU take advantage of the opportunities they are offered? I f the faculty were to get together and write up a proposa! and send it off to some insurance companies, surely they would receive a response to their liking. With better coverage students could focus on academics rather than how they are going to cover their next insurance payment. -Melissa Reid Jordy Kirkman/UVU Review I have not been alive long, but this election stands as the most pivotal I have seen in my life. The ideas and beliefs of both candidates arc so different Do as your blogging and the nation is in a difficult time. The outcomes of many important issues hinge on who will take office. It is my frustration that I have heard more about what is wrong with either candidate from their rival than what is right from either campaign. The debates were painful to watch. It was a mudslinging, balancing act Slogging without action has little to no merit where both candidates skirted issues and danced around questions. My mother told me it was rude to point fingers, but it seems whole campaigns are built around doing it. It would be nice if issues were presented in their entirety, the candidates to have told the whole truth allowing the voter to make accurate decisions based on personal beliefs rather than a marketing strategists rendition. key, cool inventions, interesting thoughts, poetry, or the coolest clips on YouTube. Opinions editor As pointless as some of these blogs may seem, Hypocrisy has taken a new form: it's called the problem is when people that blog feel they are helping by writing about how we should have a blogging. No longer does someone have to limit them- greener society, fix problems in Darfur and Tibet, selves in how big of a hypocrite they can be since vote for or against something - they limit themnow the Internet has given them a venue to ag- selves in their cause by only going on about it in gressively complain about the world, and then do blog form. nothing about it. If you really want to get involved in a cause, get away from just blogging about it, move away Not all bloggers are like this, of course. There from the anonymity and security of your computare those who simply want to have an online diary of sorts about themselves, or their dog, cat, mon- er, and get out and be involved. SPENCER SHELL Don't dress it up. Say it straight. I am tired of hearing why the other guy sucks. -Andy Earl Letter to the editor requirements uvu.review.opinions@gmail.com • Letters must be turned in on Wednesday by noon in order 10 be printed in Ihc ncxi edition. • We make no guarantee lhal letters will be printed. • Letters 300 words or less hnve a greater chance of being published - anything longer will be edited for content. • Please provide an electronic copy regardless of whether or not you wish lo submit a hard copy. • A l l letters become the property of UVU Review as soon as they are submitted. 2 — 5 E* 3 3 c —\ 4 5 8 8 2 2 1 4 3 3 6 2 4 4 7 9 5 5 1 3 1 6 5 1 5 8 l\ 7 CD —I OL. 7 9 3 2 3 8 5 9 1 4 9 8 1 6 4 6 2 5 5 1 4 1 4 6 6 8 9 3 3 4 2 2 9 8 5 3 5 9 1 2 4 6 2 3 1 4 BY JORDY KIRKMAN UNDECLARED Hmm.
