RealWorld aids the advertising needs of nonprofit organizations in the community at a significantly discounted price. For years, students participating in the program have been gaining valuable experience working with clients and developing advertisements.



The program serves both students and the local community, and every possible effort should be made to keep it from going under.

The Horned Frogs led for less than two minutes early in the first half, but BYU quickly turned the tables and never looked back, going on to win 79-63.



Head basketball coach Jim Christian said the Cougars are a very good offensively and overall a well-disciplined team.

With an all-new lineup and fresh activities, this year's Experience India will be an event to remember, said the organization's president.

What makes this year's event different from previous ones is that other countries like Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Bangladesh will also be represented in the celebration, said DJ Perera, president of Students for Asian-Indian Culture Awareness.



"Everyone involved is not necessarily Asian, so that's the beautiful part of it," Perera said. "From the music, to how the food is served, there's just a wide representation."

Romance doesn’t need a holiday

Every year, on Feb. 14, dozens of roses are purchased, boxes of chocolate are delivered, and restaurants are packed with lovebirds.

Three-foot teddy bears convey a message of love and compassion, but also the fact that someone spent a ridiculous amount of money on something the recipient probably doesn't want as a permanent fixture in their home.

Australia offers new outlook on environmentalism

Published Feb 13, 2009

I have flown halfway around the world to begin what could be one of the most influential experiences of my life.

Studying abroad this semester, I'm shacked up in a suburb of Perth, Western Australia (and quite glad to be). I came prepared to soak in all of their environmental practices that I will be able to import to the United States. In the few days I have been here exploring, I have found the green movement in play here through packed public transit systems and solar panels everywhere. But most surprising is the lack of air conditioning.

Letter to the Editor: Targeting file-sharing networks not efficient strategy

Published Feb 13, 2009

In response to the editorial in Thursday's paper regarding the RIAA: While I agree that children should be dancing in the streets because the RIAA has finally come to grips with the reality that their policies aren't panning out as a long-term strategy, the proposed solution of the editorial board makes even less sense. For the sake of my argument, I won't even touch the numbers (music sales haven't dropped dramatically), but just address the proposed strategy.
