A new social networking tool makes some uncomfortable

Every time a new social networking tool is introduced, it seems as though the world goes into a new frenzy about privacy protection. By Satpal Khalsa An article on April 12, 2011 talked about a new smart-phone application, Foursquare, that is now available on the University of Denver campus. The app allows students to “check-in” around campus in order to gain points and let others know their location. The article shared people’s fear of the possibility of stalking as a result of this new technology. I think the issue is how you choose to protect yourself. As with Facebook, Foursquare allows you to choose who can see your whereabouts. Knowing how to adjust your settings is vital when it comes to using technology that does have the...Ignorant comments ignite much-deserved backfire, debate

Gay or straight, the issue of the right to marry has never been hotter with religious groups cemented on far-end of the spectrum in attempt to muzzle same-sex marriage once and for all By Steve Coulter When I first received the article about the debate that broke out last Wednesday after Father John Ignatius’ speech entitled, “Why Marriage Has Never Been Gay: A Defense of Marriage as Between Man and Woman,” I knew my job was to remain impartial and take the story for what it was—news coverage of an on-campus event. However, the restrictions of my job have been lifted, so I can freely discuss the topic. As a Roman Catholic and heterosexual male, I’ve never felt so alienated from my religion, and its stances upon a...Colored flags call us to remember Holocaust

Memorial makes Driscoll not-so-green By Cory Lamz Spring may be here, but the grass at Driscoll Green is anything but green. Right now, it’s yellow, orange, red, blue, white, pink, brown and black. Few students seem to notice. Students eat hot dogs from Grill on the Greens while guys from the fraternities on Old Row play volleyball nearby, but no one takes a second look at a couple thousand colored flags. As the flags ripple in the wind, people continue walking by. Only one woman stops to read the info on the sign: “Holocaust Memorial.” The yellow flags represent the 5.8 million Jews who died in the Nazi Holocaust. The red symbolize 3 million Soviet deaths. And the orange stand for 1.9 Polish Civilians who passed. Organized by Never Again, a DU student...Flags of Memory

Like the flowers one can notice blooming all across campus these days, thousands of colorful flags have bloomed around the Driscoll Green as well. These flags, however, are far from trying to elicit any spring-like feelings. Rather than represent life, they are symbols of death. They are symbols of those lost in the Holocaust. Every year during Genocide Awareness Week, the group Never Again!—DU students who raise attentiveness about genocide—place the 2,500 flags on the campus green to represent...A dollar for you, 300 from me

The money question may not be “Where is it going?” By Miyeko Inafuku, minafuku@du.edu When I read “How they spend your money” in the Feb. 23 Clarion, I was not so concerned with where my money is going. I already knew that besides RTD, DUPB gets the biggest chunk of money. Chunk is such a disgusting word, by the way. I can’t believe it has 57 entries on Urban Dictionary. You may know that I know, thanks to the dialogue sparked over an opinion piece that I wrote. Trust me, DUPB is not the bad guy here. Its University Programming Support Committee is actually a good logistical and financial resource for other campus organizations. No, DUPB did not pay me to say ...
