No bull with Natalie

Straight-up advice from a straight-up chick

Dear Natalie, I'm a Project 60 student. Recently on campus, I made some new friends while down in the dumps over my wife's passing. Now they're telling me that not only can they be my friends, but they can be my brothers, sisters, parents, and yes, my gods if I want them to be.

Response: "Israel, Palestine conflict"

Student group responds to last week's opinion piece on Israel, Palestine conflict

A wonderful opportunity to discuss international issues on our multicultural and diverse campus was presented in the Oct. 3 article "Can Israel, Palestine Conflict Be Resolved: Israeli and Palestinian Students Debate Two-State Solution."
