    Cowley: The U’s Dry Campus Policy Does Little to Protect Students

      People associate college culture with alcohol consumption. If you told students here that the University of Utah is a dry campus, many probably wouldn’t believe you. Fraternities at the U notoriously throw large parties where alcohol is extremely accessible. This leads to unsafe situations within the parties, as highlighted earlier this year when two...

    Cowley: Boycott Greenwashing

    The public is more environmentally conscious than ever before. According to data collected by Gallup, four out of 10 Americans today worry “a great deal” about the environment. As a result, more people are trying to live sustainably. Reusable cups, bags and utensils continue to become more and mor…

    Cowley: Trans Bodily Autonomy is Being Threatened

    The right to bodily autonomy is under threat in the United States. With the landmark ruling of Roe v. Wade being overturned last month, the future of access to reproductive healthcare is extremely uncertain. But the overturning of Roe v. Wade doesn’t only affect women. It impacts trans and nonbina…

    Cowley: Keep Turning Point USA Off of Campus

      A few weeks ago, I visited our campus’ back-to-school club fair. There were lots of organizations and groups tabling, but one in particular stuck out to me. To my surprise, Turning Point USA had set up a table. They offered fliers to TPUSA events and copies of the Constitution, which were littered with pandering...

    Cowley: On Grief and Scrubbing Tubs

    Editor’s Note: This piece belongs to the September print issue, which was dedicated to late Chronicle Opinion Writer Maggie Bringhurst who tragically passed away in a fatal car accident on Aug. 6, 2022.

    Cowley: Dating Apps Make it Harder to Find Real Connection

    On Sept. 12, 2022, the dating app Tinder turned 10 years old. I haven’t been active on dating apps for almost a year now, but I remember how it felt to use them. I remember scrolling for hours and hours, less to find someone I was interested in and more out of total boredom....

    Cowley: Drag is not Harmful – The Daily Utah Chronicle - Daily Utah...

    A couple of years ago, I had my first experience with a vehemently anti-drag person. From ages 15 to 18, I lifeguarded for my hometown’s public pool. During one of my shifts, a coworker got out of the water to come talk to me. As I was stuck sitting in the guard chair, he...

    Cowley: LDS Plastic Surgery Craze is Hypocritical

    Up until recently, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints did not allow their members to get tattoos or any piercings other than a single lobe piercing. Still, there remains a heavy stigma against tattoos and body modification. From the church’s website, “Latter-day prophets strongly discourage the tattooing of the body. Those who...

    Cowley: Pass Meaningful Marijuana Legislation

    The Utah State Legislature made medical marijuana legal in Dec. 2018. Every year since then, the legislature has done nothing but tweak the already existing laws each session. As of Nov. 2022, recreational marijuana is legal in 21 states, with more getting closer to legalization every year. But the reluctance of our legislature to...

    Cowley: Under the Umbrella Fosters Queer Community

    I moved to Salt Lake about a year and a half ago. Moving to a new city can cause an overwhelming sense of being out of place. For me, going out and finding community in the city helped Salt Lake feel like my home. Talking to other queer people in Salt Lake City, any...

    Cowley: The U’s Bathrooms Are Lacking

      In an effort to increase inclusivity on campus, the University of Utah has taken steps to create more gender-neutral restrooms on campus. I’m not going to sit here and say the U isn’t trying to create a better campus. All of the newer buildings on campus have built-in gender-neutral restrooms. However, what we have...
