Increase of red light cameras promote safety

Published Jan 31, 2008

During the last few months, red light cameras have been installed all around my home turf.


I see technicians out there regularly, adjusting the complicated equipment and wonder if anyone other than me is getting into the habit of looking up to see if there are cameras before deciding to slide through a yellow light?


I must mention, I have never gotten a ticket for running a red light, but I have lots of questions about the new camera system.


Who pays if someone borrows a car and runs a red light? What if the cameras and red lights get out of sync?

Published Jan 31, 2008

I seriously have to disagree with a house editorial published Jan. 24, about head basketball coach Neil Dougherty's actions to get more fans at games.

Scholarship hike to benefit students

Published Jan 31, 2008

During the past few years the university has increased tuition at a rate of 8.4 percent while the academic scholarships remained static after being initially rewarded.


For most students who are on need-based scholarships, it can be hard to find the extra cash to pay for the difference between the increased price and the old amount.


However, this year's tuition will increase once again, but this time each academic scholarship will increase at 8.4 percent, mirroring the current rise. The total number of scholarships given will increase, too.
