Maybe hiding international news from Americans is part of President Bush’s secret agenda to bolster his decreasing popularity ratings. A massive earthquake has devastated the Kashmir region in Pakistan/India, and no one seems to know or care about it. The Tribune’s Oct. 10 headlining story regarded residents of Creston and their feelings about an old […]

Providing faculty housing is not the answer, raising salaries is
At first glance, providing a few faculty/staff with housing (Housing Projects on the Horizon, 10/6) for between $300,000 and $400,000 seems like a good solution to the housing problem. Upon further review, however, I believe it is a long-term waste of money. First, even at these prices most new faculty will not be able to […]

Alex Spanos, I want an answer

Greek facts misconstrued
I hate to be one that keeps adding to how distorted Mr. Kirkish’s views are on the greek system, but I feel another low was hit in the arguments. While required to do a philanthropy, it means more to us than feeding the homeless. We actually had TWO philanthropies by choice last year: one winning […]

Stop popping your collar or I will take matters into my own hands
I have a huge problem, and unfortunately it is with my roommate. Let us just refer to him as “Ben,” so that we can protect the accused. As of late, Ben has been walking around with an unusual bounce in his step, and sway in his hips; but why? It is because of his newfound […]
