Margaret Sanger unfairly represented

I was alarmed by the one-sided discussion of Planned Parenthood and Margaret Sanger in Thursday's Alligator article. Margaret Sanger was not a eugenist, a racist or an anti-Semite and was in no way affiliated with Nazi ideology. In fact, Sanger's books were of the first to be burned by the Nazis, as they contradicted their anti-family-planning agenda. Additionally, Sanger consistently stated that family planning decisions should be made on an individual basis, not on a social or cultural basis, which of course directly contradicts core eugenics ideology.

Web has become double-edged sword

Forty years ago, Leonard Kleinrock sent the first message over what is now known as the Internet. The message - the word "log" - was to be sent from a computer terminal at University of California, Los Angeles to another terminal at the Stanford University Research Institute, but it wasn't a complete success.

Music deserves some air time

I would like to respond to letters from Gene Cowell and Meagan Gregory approving of the recent changes to WUFT-FM's radio schedule. Although I'm happy that some new NPR programming has been introduced, such as "Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me" and "This American Life," in other respects the changes have been for the worse for anyone with an appreciation of music. Classical music has been shunted off to HD radio, and jazz has gone away altogether.

Boy meets girl: the "boyfriend" trend

I’ve always been jealous at how effortlessly my boyfriend can just roll out of bed, riffle through a pile of questionably clean clothes on the floor, and pull together a simple, yet stylish, ensemble in a matter of minutes.
