Letter to the editor: Cartoon distorts image of Catholic church and its dignitaries

Comments Off 15 April 2010

Dear Editor-in-Chief, On April 1, 2010, The Clarion Call printed a political cartoon that was aimed to start a discussion about the abuses within the Catholic Church. However, the cartoon was poorly done, portraying all Catholic priests as child abusers which contributes to a stereotype that ignores their constructive service and personal sacrifice on behalf [...]

This is unsettling to me because I strongly believe that the pro-life/anti-choice worldview is based on contempt for women, especially young women of reproductive age. [...]

Clarion should offer late-night dining choices

Comments Off 11 February 2010

Viewpoint I have never been bothered by Eagle Commons closing at 6:30 p.m. on Saturdays. I always got there before then and laughed at the kids who stood at the locked doors looking in on the last meal of the day. I was never one of those kids until this past weekend when my boyfriend [...]

Comments Off 17 September 2009

In the few years that I have been involved in the Clarion University Young Democrats here on campus, many things have come to my attention and I believe that it is time to put an end to this sentiment that has been directed at the group. Over the past few years, we have heard many [...]
