Bicyclists should stick to the driving laws too

I was walking from the parking structure to building 26 and had to cross the street at South Perimeter and Via Carta. Before I stepped into the crosswalk, I looked for cars and other hazards. I had barely stepped out…

With the right attitude, music can play up confidence

When I was little, I took piano lessons. I started at age 9, and continued through high school. For those nine years, nothing in the world could faze me when my fingers touched those smooth, slick keys. To this day,…

Lessons in Love from a Good Student

Abortions are being used as a form of birth control

I would like to comment on Ms. Kasavan’s letter regarding the “Justice for All” exhibit. In her first paragraph, she states that there were people left feeling more confused and uncertain about where they stand on the issue of abortion…

Why are mechanical engineers so opinionated?

So I have one question: What’s with all the mechanical engineers writing letters to the editor? I open a Mustang Daily every other day or so and every time I read the letters to the editor, there is always at…
