Dining Services removes peanut butter crackers after recall

Published Feb 12, 2009

Dining services employees pulled peanut butter sandwich crackers off the shelf at Bistro Burnett on Wednesday morning because of a previous recall on the crackers issued by Kellogg Co., a university official said.

Frank Horak, manager of retail units for Dining Services said he took the Austin brand crackers off the shelf as a precaution after someone phoned in the tip.



"I called the Bistro and said, 'There seems to be a problem,'" Horak said. "I had them take the crackers off the shelf just to be safe."

New offensive coordinators and team to make winning formula

Published Feb 11, 2009

While some might have found it odd, last week's announcement that the Frogs would be changing to a co-offensive coordinator system should come as a surprise to no one.

It really was the team's best option.



Former offensive coordinator Mike Schultz left to take the same position at the University of Illinois in early January. It took the Frogs a little more than a month to announce his replacements, former wide receivers coach Jarrett Anderson and former running backs coach Justin Fuente.

Britney single a reflection of society’s immorality

Published Feb 11, 2009

The English author G.K. Chesterton once said, "art, like morality, consists of drawing the line somewhere." This quip echoed through the chasms of my mind when I heard about Britney Spears' controversial single "If U Seek Amy." For those who are not quite as hip as me, it phonetically spells out the F-word in sequence with 'me.'

So, where do we draw the line? I would hardly define this as art, but beyond that it clearly exemplifies Spears' moral compass.

The 2.5 child average that American families normally have has been blown out of the water by single mother, Nadya Suleman.



Suleman is now a mom to a total of 14 children.

SGA upholds veto against removal of runoff elections

SGA upholds veto against removal of runoff elections

Published Feb 11, 2009

The Student Government Association House of Student Representatives overwhelmingly voted Tuesday night to uphold a presidential veto against the bill that would end the runoff system of SGA elections. The final vote count was 28 in favor of the veto and 7 opposed, with three representatives abstaining from voting.

The bill, when introduced before the House on Feb. 3, faced little objection or debate.



President Kelsie Johnson vetoed the bill after careful consideration, she said.

Government should not meddle in people’s lives

Published Feb 11, 2009

People often think that I am a conservative, but I'm not. I'm a libertarian.

Conservatives take pride in the idea that they want a more free government.



"Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives," Ronald Reagan once said.



But conservatives also frequently oppose abortion, gay marriage, marijuana legalization and other views that constantly contradict what freedom is.



They don't want government to grow unless it grows how they want it to.

SGA veto sheds light on House indifference

Published Feb 11, 2009

Student Government Association President Kelsie Johnson's decision to veto a bill that would remove the runoff system from the organization's elections should be commended.

Last week, Johnson vetoed the legislation that would allow for a student to win the election with only a plurality of the vote, not a majority. In the past, a runoff election has occurred if no candidate had a majority. A plurality is when any candidate gets the most votes in an election, whereas a majority requires more than half of the votes.
