Opinions

By BRENT PHAM
OPINIONS | Being relatively new at Chapman, I have never heard of these so-called "taboos" on campus you mentioned about. However, I feel that you criticism of "rich" kids is uncalled for.

OPINIONS | When we enter this institution, we agree to abide by a conduct code. The problem is hardly any students have read it.

OPINIONS | Many things have shocked me during my semester abroad in London. Paper is a different size. In my dorm, faucets have separate spigots for hot and cold water, leaving you with either freezing or burning hands and no middle ground.

OPINIONS | Last week’s editorial in The Panther appropriately expressed concerns for student behavior and safety, but wholly missed an opportunity to discuss a larger dynamic that is now present between Chapman University’s administration and its students.

OPINIONS | Great article on Elie Wiesel’s visit to Chapman – unfortunately, I missed the event. I’m responding to Professor Nubar Hovsepian’s take on Wiesel, the Holocaust and Israel, and how I’ve experienced these hot topics in some of my Chapman classes.

OPINIONS | Not all of the people at Chapman are rich. Not all of the people in Orange County are rich. You chose to come to Chapman in the first place so stop complaining about it.

By G. WOODS, ORANGE RESIDENT
OPINIONS | I am a local resident and have been for almost 30 years. While last week’s editorial made a few valid points, the reasoning is lacking.

OPINIONS | There are things you’re not supposed to say on this campus. There are taboos on anything that disrupts the ebb and flow of everyday life, on any vocal dislike of a campus production or any pointing out of the privileged environment.

OPINIONS | I’ve never been this excited to go to a birthday party. Next Sunday I will be attending Leon Weinstein’s 100th birthday. Weinstein is a Holocaust survivor who I have gotten to know this semester.

OPINIONS | It started as a social experiment. I wanted to see if I could go a whole month without wearing a bra. See, I hate bras.

OPINIONS | “What are you doing after college?” The average senior gets asked this about 10 times a day.

By NUBAR HOVSEPIAN
OPINIONS | Before Elie Wiesel’s visit to Chapman last week, some of my students asked me if I would attend. I said no, and explained that though he is a Nobel Peace Laureate, I have some major qualms about the inconsistencies of his moral purview.

OPINIONS | Was my apathy perpetuating something horrible in some other part of the world?

OPINIONS | I’m not the girl you take home to meet the parents – especially if the parents are upper class.

By THE PANTHER EDITORIAL BOARD
OPINIONS | It’s about time we treated the Undie Run as adults. Because they cannot ensure the safety of thousands of half-naked and most likely intoxicated revelers, college administrators are discouraging students from participating in the Undie Run and the after-parties that follow.

Do you think it’s inappropriate for female students to go to class without a bra?


“They can do what they want. It doesn’t bother me at all. I mean, it’s not the most flattering look.”
Jonathan Pollard, accouting major.
Junior


“It’s one thing to be revealing. It’s another thing to just be comfortable in your body.”
Malia Wright, theater major.
Sophomore


“I suppose it depends what outfit [she] was wearing without a bra.”
Grant Cushman, communications major.
Senior


“Depends how big [her] boobs are.”
