The doctor is in?

By Muhlenberg Weekly Executive Board

Doctor's hours in the Health Center are…oh wait, no one knows. We should even have to ask whether or not the doctor is in. The two hours a day that there are actually doctors in the health center change daily. Sure the hours are posted months in advance, but we can't schedule our sickness.

View from the Left: Say goodbye to reproductive rights

By Alex Breiding

Viagra, male infertility, vasectomies, growth-hormone shots for short little boys and, not to mention, psychotherapy for pedophile priests. What do they all have in common? Each of these treatments are available for public and private insurers under the Affordable Health Care for America Act, colloquially known as the new health care bill that passed in House of Representatives last week.

Today's Issues: A hard habit to break

By Adam Yu

It seems as though a column that I authored for the November 5th issue of The Weekly has raised a few questions. The column shed light on a topic that has received little to no news coverage or public attention.

Smoke out

By Kelly Frazee

Smoking is a personal choice. Not smoking is also a personal choice. I personally choose not to smoke. I don't like getting a face full of smoke when I walk out of a building, but I don't obnoxiously cough or badger you about choosing to smoke. I don't go up to you and rip the cigarette out of your mouth and yell at you.
