Junior Libby Davis, the newly chosen fall 2010 Skiff editor-in-chief, said she has several goals to improve the Daily Skiff, such as incorporating more student and faculty opinion into the paper.

The selection committee is made up of journalism faculty, non-journalism faculty, and journalism and non-journalism students, said Davis, a news-editorial journalism and history major.

It is unfortunate that during a period called "CommUNITY Week" intended to bring diverse groups together, Peace Action created an exhibit clearly meant to increase rather than reduce divisiveness. Presenting the destruction of Palestinian villages by Israel in 1948 without also stating that destruction occurred on both sides as the result of a war initiated by the invasion of Israel by Eqypt, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Jordan seems to be a deliberate disregard for history that is wrong in general and specifically inappropriate in an academic setting.

It is no secret that athletes get paid millions of dollars to play their sport and that seems a little obsessive.

There are many other ways, and many more productive ways for the money to be spent.

Teachers, professors, nurses and other professions that are taking a hard hit from the dwindling economy should get increases to their salaries while athletes' are reduced.

Sophomore psychology major Eric Russell likes Market Square just fine but he said the dining experience can get boring. Especially when trying to eat healthy, Russell said, his options seem slim.

"Sometimes I feel myself eating the same thing every day because of the lack of variety, especially the time between lunch and dinner," he said.

The Dining Services Committee of the Student Government Association is launching a new program to help students like Russell find variety in Market Square.
