Regime Change at the Stanford Review
For being the center of all that is evil at Stanford University, most people know little about the criminal personalities that run the Stanford Review. In order to add a face to the madness, the Review wanted to introduce its brand new esteemed staff of Volume XXXII. ....Full story in News.....by Editorial Staff

Uncritical Students Sign Petition for Fake Cause
Forty-two Stanford students have signed a petition in support of HAASSU's effort to give campus palm trees "the axe." Fliers advertised athletic scholarships and laborers as worthier causes than palm trees. ....Full story in News.....by Christine Boehm

Howard Dean: Bad for Democrats, Bad for Democrats
The current Democratic Primaries have put the magnifying glass on Democratic candidates and on the Democratic Party as a whole. However, of all the Democrats, the greatest focus has been put on the former Governor of Vermont, Howard Dean. Outwardly, Dean has been portrayed as a leftist Democrat with a hot temper. He has been shown to have a lack of political suaveness and an inability to hold the interest of the public. Dean is now currently seen as a whining and confusing character. The fact that Democrats have made Dean one of their front-running candidates will only hurt the Democratic Party and will, by default, boost the lead President Bush will have as the incumbent. In plain terms, Dean will help George Bush get re-elected. ....Full story in Opinions.....by Alex Moore

Illegal Immigration - Not Racism
Over the last decade it seems that the phrase "illegal immigration" has come to mean "racism."

Ever since I returned from being abroad in Chile last quarter I have been thinking about how much tamer, lamer and generally more high-schoolish Stanford has become. I know it isn't the students (even uber-over-achievers like us want to relax, socialize and have fun), and I know it can't be the athletics (we've won a ridiculous number of Sears Cup trophies and our basketball team is #2), so I'm left to point my finger at the Stanford Administration. But unlike those that have complained about the administration before me, I do not want to focus only on what effects the administration's policies are having on current students, but also on the effects they will have on alumni and school reputation. ....Full story in Opinions.....by Brooks Kincaid

Why We Support Israeli Settlements
An old joke tells of two men sitting together, complaining about the many problems in the world. Unable to contain the frustration any longer, one of them bursts out "It's all the fault of the Jews and the plumbers!" The other one looks at him, bewildered, and asks "Why the plumbers??" ....Full story in Opinions.....by Daniel Kaganovich and Michael Butler
