Let's play a little game. I'll give you two description of one of Penn's college houses, and you'll try to guess which one is more accurate. For the moment, let's call our test case "Gutmann College House." Gutmann is the complete college house. It is ideally located near major academic buildings, libraries, retail shops and athletic facilities.
No one can deny this measure has good intentions. Those who serve Philadelphians by saving citizens from fires and keeping them safe deserve our respect and our gratitude. And when they are killed in the line of duty, it's their children who are left to pick up the pieces.
Apology owed To the Editor: I just wanted to congratulate President Gutmann on an interesting choice for a holiday picture pose ("Controversary erupts over student in terror garb," DP, 11/3/06). The body language certainly is telling; naivete meets duplicity (I'll let you determine which is which).
Anyone would be tough-pressed to find a major incumbent in Pennsylvania more deserving of a second term that Ed Rendell. Especially if you're voting in Philadelphia; Rendell has been great for the city and the state. Before Rendell took office in 2002, Pennsylvania was ranked 42nd of all states for job growth.
America created the Atomic Energy Commission to oversee nuclear power; nation should take up similar effort stem cells.

After surveying 150 students, it's obvious students aren't getting enough rest - make sleep a higher priority.
Student tested limits with costume, but criticism of president isn't warranted.
It's not often campaigns revolve around a single issue. But for Joe Roebuck, that should be the case. In the early morning hours of July 7, 2005, state legislators in Harrisburg slyly (or so they thought) passed an enormous pay raise for themselves. The bill increased the base-pay salaries 16 percent, from $69,647 to $81,050.
Democrats want you to vote this Tuesday entirely based on your opinion of President Bush. Mailing after mailing, TV ad after TV ad and speech after speech the Democrats have attempted to make every Republican candidate look like Bush's ally and therefore, according to them, an enemy of the people.

This proposition is simply not the best way to accomplish the goal of rewarding servicemen and -women. A proposition much like this one went to - and was not approved by - voters shortly after the first Gulf War more than 15 years ago. There seems to be little reason veterans of this particular war are much more deserving than they were 15 years ago.
The Opinion Board's final vote on this issue was tied, so it decided to leave readers to weigh both sides: Yes: Philadelphia is behind the times. In a city where 45 percent of residents are white, only 14.3 percent of city contracts went to minority-owned businesses last year.
Imagine being able to vote in major American elections without stepping foot outside your front door, without the aid of the Internet or some type of telepathy. Just put on a bathrobe and walk into the voting booth during the commercials of The Jerry Springer Show: That's all it takes.
A Republican really never had a shot at Pennsylvania's 2nd district. The district, one of two representing Philadelphia in Congress, is heavily Democratic. In 2004, Fattah won re-election with 88 percent of the vote - the second-highest margin in the state and the highest for a Democrat.

Tomorrow, as Americans, we have an opportunity - and a responsibility - to make a decision about the future of our country. Will we continue the misguided war in Iraq, or will we adopt a timetable for bringing our troops home? Will we continue the $12.
Homicide is exploding across the city, and it's high time something was done.
With LSATs and job interviews, students shouldn't forget that they can make a difference in erasing educational inequality.
