Letter to the editor: Vigilantism and law enforcement

Kevin Kilpatric, Department of Sociology November 25, 2019

I enjoy reading Cedric Lansangan’s articles in the Cougar Chronicle. The writing is crisp and fresh, and Cedric is not afraid to cut to the chase with his point of view. I felt I had to comment on his article regarding the CC Unit’s vigilantism. Inclusion of law enforcement in vigilantism may...

Response to International Men’s Day article

Marcus Cicero, Contributor December 8, 2017

It befuddles me to read such a blatantly biased article published in our school newspaper. The article which attacks International Men’s Day as “unnecessary” is such an affront to reason, that it begs a response. First, the author’s bias is clearly shown numerous times throughout the article,...

Words beyond the graduation

Hannah Snider, Sports Editor September 13, 2017

To Whom It May Concern: This letter I am writing to you- for you- is to help inspire something deep within your hearts. I have not come here today to lecture you about something you already know. My point isn’t to repackage or reprocess an already dull message seeming to be stuck on repeat. No,...

Become a force to be reckoned with

Jordan T. Waechter, Contributor May 11, 2016

  Have you ever heard the saying, “there are people who watch things happen, people who wait for things to happen, and people who say what happened?” What if instead, everyone in the global community — individuals, leaders, strangers and the like created a culture where people...

Do the rich pay their fair share?

Ronald Slater, Contributor May 11, 2016

  The top 1 percent earn $500,000 or more — a great income. Most people only get to that level after many years of hard work, and quite possibly the accumulation of serious debt to fund their education and build their business. Of course, there are people who make more than $500,000...

Letter to the Editor

Luis Higinio, Contributor March 30, 2016

  For the past few weeks, demonstrators at CSUSM, protesting on behalf of diversity and in response to the sudden departure of former Diversity Chair, Arturo Ocampo, have been chanting: “Ain’t no power like the power of the people because the power of the people don’t stop,” and “Say...

Letter to the Editor: What am I thankful for?

November 20, 2014

By Essence Sanders Contributor  While most everyone says they are thankful for the same things, every year I am thankful for my family and my friends. But I had to sit here and think, “what else am I really thankful for?” I seriously could not think of anything. Of course I am thankful...
