Final exams are quickly approaching, and with that comes a pile of stress and an even bigger pile of notes, slides and books to study. Choos- ing a location to study is almost as crucial as who you decide to study with. The following are ideal places to inhabit while studying your brains out.

CORRECTION Due to a reporter’s and editor’s error, in the May 6 article, “Passing the torch at casino themed I-ball,” it was incorrectly stated that the ASCSU inauguration ball, or I-Ball, was scheduled for Wednesday evening. The I-Ball is actually scheduled for Friday evening. The Collegian re- grets its error.

The problem is that Obama was supposed to be the an- tithesis of Bush, not a continuation of those same policies. Most Democrats are loathe to call Obama out on this, and Republicans are quick to trade liberty for security, leav- ing our constitutional protections in the lurch. I think a prudent, watered down form of libertarianism, rather than republicanism, is the logical counter argument needed to balance out modern liberalism. Republicans are becoming nothing but obstructionists. Prudent Libertarians may have a better chance of collabo- rating with Democrats. Simplifying onerous bureaucratic immigration pro- cesses to enable people to move, live and work freely is very much a libertarian concept. Yes, most libertarians would rather get the government out of marriage completely, but I think they’d be content with codifying same-sex marriage at the federal level. While some of the most prominent Libertarian-esque politicians today are pro-life, the majority of Libertarians would say that such a decision is one that should be made by individuals, not the government. Moreover, a stronger libertarian voice is needed in order to say what the establishment refuses to admit: the war on drugs has failed and needs to end. We need rational drug policy — an issue that extends much further than marijuana alone. A greater Libertarian presence is especially needed in an age of increasing technology. Our privacy protections need to be extended to our information and internet activity, which neither Democrats nor Republicans have reliable ANGELINA BADALI | COLLEGIAN records of protecting. In essence, libertarianism is an exercise in intellectual creativity. It’s not enough to simply legislate all of our problems away at the federal level. First, Libertarians must ask themselves if this is something that should be done by the government, or is best left free of government intervention — which hinges on the harm principle. Anti-abortion? And anti-war, too? Second, they ask themselves should this be something Student dissatis- honest poetry on the horrors of war first is that one can define a human as that is the responsibility of the federal government or is best faction with the ever imagined. “Dulce Et Decorum possessing fundamental rights from left to states and local governments?

Women who have had abortions are in no way alone, but shame campaigns are isolating toward these individuals. If I were one of the million-plus women who had an abortion this past year, would I feel comfortable standing on the stump yelling about how awesome of a decision it was next to giant posters claiming that I had “committed genocide?” No, probably not. There plenty of reasons why shame campaigns on our campus should provoke a negative response from you. You might be upset about campus efforts that are putting so much effort into shaming women who have sex rather than putting money toward helping the living children who die every day in war zones. You might be upset because nobody can tell you what to do with your body. You might even agree with their ends, but find their tactics reprehensible. It’s time to start channeling our anger about campus shame campaigns toward standing up for the people on our campus that have had abortions. The majority of Colorado residents stand with pro-choice decisions, and if you’re with the majority, start standing up for the individuals who are exercising those choices. Nobody deserves to be isolated through shaming attempts. There are plenty of organizations, like the Women and 12x12=144(C 12 H Gender Advocacy Center, whose aim is not to shame, but to 22 O 11 ) educate people about their options.
