EDITORIAL
Misplaced subsidies
 When it comes to public transport, the Greek state has always had clear aims: It deems that the public transport system exists to perform a social function and for that reason is willing to subsidize losses with money from the state budget. But that does not apply to the public utilities, also known here as DEKO. The problem is that we want them both to operate as corporations and play a role in social welfare at the same time.
COMMENTARY
The specter of a sinful past
 University asylum legislation was introduced to dispel fear. Union members, the rationale was, should be concerned about police officers in their midst. Likewise, no one should fear that the army will ever again invade the Polytechnic building.
OPINION
Specific proposals for our universities
 It appears to have become something of a rule that public debate about issues of critical national concern revolve around established rhetoric. And higher education is no exception to this rule.
