With the opening of Brown-Lupton University Union and the introduction of Frog Bucks, Pond Street Grill's business could be slow enough to merit its closure, a dining employee said.

Ernest White, supervisor at Pond Street Grill, said he is not sure what the future of Pond Street will be.

"I don't know," White said, "I really don't know. That's out of my hands.

"It's up to the school on what they want to do. I'd really hate to see it go. It's a good place."

We need to discuss an issue which we've all had to deal with recently. We've avoided it as long as we can, but this mockery must to be stopped.

Advantage: OU

When I thought of Josh Howard, the first thing that used to come to my mind was a rising star with extreme potential to be one of the best basketball players in the NBA. Recently, however, Howard has been rapidly losing the respect I once had for him.

The focus for the team this season is to improve as a program, said head coach Dave Borelli.

"We have the toughest schedule we have had in seven or eight years. It is going to be a real challenge for us," Borelli said. "You can't get better unless you play the best. Beating a great team makes you a better player. Beating a bad team doesn't make you better."
