What is general education?
I am on two committees having to do with General Education at USU, and I would really like to hear some students’ opinions about our gen ed requirements.

Philosophical sophistication in the Statesman
I was heartened to see that the Statesman is regularly publishing reflective essays by one of our Philosophy majors, Will Holloway. He has a thoughtful and thought-provoking essay on sex in today’s issue, and an earlier essay (which I had missed) on faith and curiosity. Way to go, Will! Fight the ever-advancing forces of thoughtlessness!
