Opinion

The field of candidates for the 2008 presidential election falls far short of the qualities that the President of the United States should possess. Recent presidents and current candidates alike all have been lacking in some key areas that we the voters should no longer excuse. (1) comment

Wither the "M" in SMU?

What happened to the "M" in Southern Methodist University? At least once or twice each semester someone asks me this question. Sometimes it's a letter from a person in the Dallas community, occasionally someone who finds it incredulous that SMU requires neither chapel attendance nor courses in religious studies for graduation.

Barefoot Living

Shoes aren't natural, and other reasons why being barefoot is better

by Keven O'Toole, Contributing Writer,kmwilson@smu.edu.

Walking around without any shoes, I tend to get a lot of questions. Or rather, I tend to get the same questions over and over again, so I figure that I can use this opportunity to kill several birds with one stone and explain myself once and for all. Also, it is fitting that I address the title of this column early on, which is no mere coincidence; my decision to go barefoot reflects a much deeper set of values and principles, which are paramount to a life of true contentment.
