Prof.: DU should recognize secular student society
The recent decision by Duquesne not to recognize officially the Secular Society as a student organization on campus robs us of a new source of opinion and debate on the important topics of secularity and religion. The decision therefore makes the tension in the idea of a Catholic University destructive and the institution to appear bigoted.
Does The Duquesne Duke ever do critical reviews on campus plays? Last Friday evening, I took advantage of the opportunity to see a Theater Arts' performance of Shakespeare's Measure 4 Measure. It was amusing, sexy and suspenseful, and despite the varying degrees of Shakespearean accents, the plot was easy to follow. In fact, the production was so good I literally floated home which is the reason for my question.
As I reflect back on Sept. 11, 2001, it amazes me the surprise that met us on that day. Looking back from a time where we assume everything is a terrorist plot, it is hard to remember the world before that terrifying genie came out of the bottle.
