Representatives hear student suggestions at town hall meeting

Published Feb 24, 2010

Every morning, campus buses are filled to the door when they leave the Sandage parking lot, senior Ido Farhi told student government representatives last night. Most days, buses have to leave some students behind to wait for the next bus.

"We're not complaining about parking far away, as long as we get transportation," Farhi said. "I think we pay enough tuition to have a bus to ride."

Published Feb 24, 2010

While some colleges and universities across the nation are waiving or reducing application fees to boost enrollment numbers, one admissions official said such measures would not be necessary at the university.

Ray Brown, dean of admissions, said the university does not need to lower its application fees. Instead, by keeping the admissions fees steady over the last 10 years, it has already helped out applicants.
The last increase in application fees came in 2002, Brown said.

Give hockey a chance

Published Feb 24, 2010

If you combine the toughness of football, the jabs of boxing and about a fourth of the elegance of figure skating, what do you get? Hockey.

Do Texans not like hockey because it makes you think about cold weather?



Who doesn't love hockey? People who don't like fast-paced skating, incredible stick handling skills and fights. Apparently, lots of people from the South.

Airing the video of luger’s death unnecessary and unethical

Published Feb 24, 2010

The 2010 Winter Olympic games got off to a sad start. A 21-year-old luger from the Republic of Georgia, Nodar Kumaritashvili, died after a tragic accident during a practice run. As if the accident itself wasn't awful enough, footage of the young man's last run played and replayed on major networks, and was even aired before the opening ceremony. It has now spread all over the Internet, which is a sad commentary on the desensitization of our society.

“South Park” offers intelligent political and social commentary

Published Feb 24, 2010

Entering into its 14th season (195 episodes and a full-length Oscar nominated film), "South Park" has become the unequivocal national forum for unabated political cynicism and social commentary for just about anyone who isn't a member of the AARP.

Where other shows stop short, "South Park" will go. Its ability to spew real and formulated commentary on any subject or event is why it is the smartest show on television. AIDS is not off limits. Neither is pedophilia or the Catholic Church. Global warming? LOL.
