'Full House' star Dave Coulier performs for more than 600 students Wednesday evening for Howdy Week.

Former Uncle Joey entertains ‘Full House’

Published Aug 28, 2008

Dave Coulier, who famously portrayed Joey in the television show "Full House," left no topic untouched during his stand-up comedy routine at the Brown-Lupton University Union ballroom Wednesday evening.

Using his distinctive voice imitations, Coulier provoked laughter from more than 600 students for over an hour by poking fun at everything from the Chinese Olympic gymnastics team to Shaquille O'Neal to his own mother.



Programming Council chair Kristen Chapman said the group wanted a "novelty act" who would be familiar to students.

Phillips-Felder was an elementary school teacher and then a pastor's wife before she became a widow in her early fifties.

McCain unlikely to grasp conservative vote

Published Aug 28, 2008

In recent history, the support of evangelical Christian voters has been more important to the Republican Party than ever. Without it, George Bush would likely have lost the 2000 and 2004 elections. These days, it's hard for a Republican to get elected without strongly opposing abortion, same-sex marriage and gun control. But during a recession under one of the most unpopular Republican presidents in history, John McCain has quite a mountain to climb to become a candidate that conservatives will really want to rally behind.
