Politics is about competition, not meeting in the middle

Published Mar 3, 2010

Last week, the legislators in Washington decided to get together and try to create a health care plan everyone would agree on. As expected, both sides merely pointed fingers at each other and nothing got accomplished. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton even said this would hurt U.S. reputation in the world.

This got me thinking about this whole bipartisanship thing and figuring out it's a scam and a way for politicians to quiet the American voice.

Legislation stalls at Congress because of the public, not the president

Published Mar 3, 2010

When President Barack Obama decided to initiate significant health care reform, it is not likely that he was attempting to infuriate a majority of American citizens. It is a sad reality, however, that most Americans have lost hope in health care reform. But the lack of support for health care reform is not a result of Obama's mistakes. It's the ineffectiveness of the U.S. Congress that has prevented the potential for health care reform from becoming a reality.

Scharbauer Hall houses many departments under one roof

Published Mar 3, 2010

Morrison Wong called one of the temporary on-campus trailers his home since 1984 until this semester, when he moved into his new location at Scharbauer Hall, which opened this spring.

The trailer was not actually home, but where his office was located for about 25 years, he said. Wong, chair of the department for sociology and anthropology, said the trailers were supposed to be temporary, but when the master plan for the campus was put together a social science building was never part of it.

For some, Chilean disaster hits home

Published Mar 2, 2010

A university alumna living in Chile woke up to violent shaking in her room on the 15th floor of the apartment building where her family lives in Santiago. As she heard glasses and bottles breaking, paintings falling and furniture shifting, she was sure the building would collapse. After waiting about two and half minutes for the earthquake to end because the shaking made it difficult to move, her family made the descent down the 15 flights of stairs in complete darkness to leave the building. It was one of the scariest things Carla Noriega ever experienced.
