College is supposed to take students away from the comforts of high school and prepare them for the inevitable difficulties of the real world.

Our university bubble isn't showing us the real world. I mean, honestly, how many first-year professions pay well enough for a brand new BMW? As students, we may not know what we want, but we should face the facts and realize our eyes need to be opened. It's time we grow up and see the world.

Cheney not worthy of building title

Published Sep 17, 2009

The University of Wyoming will name its international center after former Vice President Dick Cheney. To be frank, it's a bad idea.

His name only signifies the poor policy decisions of the Bush administration. This is the man who allegedly authorized the use of harsh interrogation techniques, otherwise known as torture, on Guantanamo Bay inmates after Sept. 11. It is hard to see any positive effect from naming a building after him.

Empty characters cant save disappointing 9

Empty characters can’t save disappointing ‘9’

Published Sep 17, 2009

The little rag doll at the focus of the new animated film "9" had come a long way before hitting theaters this month. The film was originally an Academy Award-nominated short film before help from producers Tim Burton and last summer's blockbuster "Wanted" director Timur Bekmambetov lent their star power to it.

"9" is the second animated film from Focus Features after this year's "Coraline." Both films are not your average Disney-Pixar movie fare, containing dark themes that would probably frighten or at least creep out some children.
