After two years, sorority reaches official status

Published Sep 16, 2010

For four semesters in a row, the university's Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. chapter never officially had more than three members. This semester marks the first time the group will meet the student handbook requirement of a minimum of seven active members.

According to the AKA website, the sorority is an international service organization and is the oldest Greek-lettered organization established by African-American college-educated women.

AKA President Liberty Bell said trying to revive the sorority has been challenging, but she takes it in stride every day.

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

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

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."

Published Sep 16, 2010

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.

Sweat shop-free items are no help at all

It's great when I'm able to get through to people. When I'm able to show someone that trade is actually a good thing or how the minimum wage can hurt the poor, I know I've made a difference.

It stills pains me, however, to read articles like the one in the Skiff Tuesday that begins with "The university bookstore showed its support for ethical business practices by beginning to offer products from a new clothing line committed to a humanitarian effort."
