John Thompson, executive director of career services, said that he has not encountered students embellishing resumes because of the current economic times and has not heard of employers catching students falsifying their educational or work experience.

Film Review: Machete

Film Review: Machete

Published Sep 16, 2010

Are you looking for a gritty action movie with a low-budget feel, but big-name actors? Then "Machete" is for you. How about a political movie where every nook and cranny is filled with serious, literal allegories to the present immigration situation? If that's the case, probably not.

While most don't take it that way, some people on the far right believe it is a call to action, which is obviously nonsense when you view the film.

Freedom of speech deserves day of honor

Published Sep 16, 2010

As tempting as it may be to silence flag burners or to censor those opinions we'd rather not hear, we must appreciate the privilege we have been given to live in a country that provides each of us with both guidelines and freedom.

Though allowing certain viewpoints to flourish might make us cringe, it is still important that Americans remember to appreciate the laws and freedoms provided for in the Constitution.

Obama's claim to Christianity is personal matter between him and God

Obama’s claim to Christianity is personal matter between him and God

Published Sep 16, 2010

When coaches or parents get caught preaching something they don't practice, their empty excuse is often "do as I say, not as it do."

Recently, in one of the many examples of the media blowing a hardly-newsworthy story out of proportion, many outlets have questioned the legitimacy of President Barack Obama's claim to be a Christian. Besides being annoyed to be hearing yet another story that doesn't warrant appearance in the "news," I've found the whole thing to be ridiculous.

When Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin suffered a season-ending injury in the Bears' third game of the season last year, it effectively derailed any postseason plans Baylor may have had before the team ever really started.

Baylor's offense fell from averaging almost 196 rushing yards per game in 2008 to about 101 yards mostly without Griffin in 2009. But the Bears' quarterback isn't just a runner. He completed 65 percent of his throws through two games in 2009, with 481 yards and no interceptions along with four touchdowns.
