To-go dining option debuts at Sub Connection

To-go dining option debuts at Sub Connection

Published Jan 27, 2009

Students are making good use of a new to-go dining option, campus officials said.

Simply To-Go, which opened Jan. 19 at Sub Connection, allows students on any of the Silver, Gold or Platinum Frog Pass plans to purchase a pre-packaged sandwich or salad meal that includes a fountain beverage and the choice between a cookie, fruit or a bag of chips for the cost of a swipe, said Legia Abato, marketing manager of Dining Services.

Bush’s vision better than his execution

Published Jan 27, 2009

The sun has set on George W. Bush's administration. The president who will be known for his Texan accent rode off into the sunset to reside in Dallas. While all of this sounds like it's straight out of a John Wayne western, his critics are busy painting a much different picture. They aren't debating whether he was a bad president but whether he was one of the worst in U.S. history. Only time will tell what Bush's legacy will be, but right now we can look at what has happened during the past eight years.

Coach: Absence of freshman guard hurt game

Published Jan 27, 2009

The Horned Frogs missed the offensive presence of freshman guard Ronnie Moss in Saturday night's loss against the University of New Mexico. Moss missed the game because of a violation of team policy.

The good news for the team is that Moss will be eligible to play in Wednesday's road game against San Diego State University.



The Horned Frogs never led in Saturday's 69-52 conference loss against the Lobos.

Three-hour limitation of to-go option irrational

Published Jan 27, 2009

Like most recent changes to the university's dining plan, the Simply To-Go option added last Monday has been met with both praise and criticism.

The new option is Dining Services' response to concerns raised by students who weren't able to use their swipes on the east side of campus. The creation of the Simply To-Go program demonstrates Dining Services' commitment to students' needs, and it has resolved the issue of students not being able to purchase meals while on the east side of campus.

Colors of spring clothing lines brighten outlook for 2009

Published Jan 27, 2009

The malls were packed, elaborate sale signs hung decoratively in store windows and anxious souls swarmed the racks searching for the perfect gifts to go under the tree, but nobody bought much.

Despite the garland and 20-inch snowflakes, shoppers were in low spirits this holiday season.



Perhaps it's the economy or the warm weather that kept wallets shut this past December.

East meets West in brilliant ‘Millionaire’

Published Jan 27, 2009

Jamal Malik, played by Dev Patel, is a young man who knows too much. After coming close to winning the grand prize on the Indian equivalent of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire," he is taken in for questioning for possibly cheating. The police use brutal means to find the source of his answers because a "slumdog" shouldn't know enough to set him apart from the usual doctors and lawyers that appear on the show.

Horned Frogs drop conference game against Lobos

Published Jan 23, 2009

The Horned Frogs never led in Saturday night's 69-52 conference loss against the University of New Mexico Lobos.

The team came into the game in first place in the Mountain West Conference, but is now left wondering how to correct the mistakes that led to New Mexico's convincing win.



"This is a team that's been very, very hot, and we come in here and I thought, for forty minutes, did a lot of good things against them," said New Mexico head coach Steve Alford.

Team’s success calls for more support

Published Jan 23, 2009

Congratulations to the men's basketball team and head coach Jim Christian for their successful season so far.

With Wednesday night's win over the University of Wyoming, the Horned Frogs now sit alone atop the Mountain West Conference.



Christian has quickly turned his team into a winner. The Horned Frogs are off to a 13-6 record and have gone 4-1 in conference play, their best conference start ever.



No one expected much from this year's team, coming off a 14-16 season that culminated with the firing of former head coach Neil Dougherty.

Six ways to land the dream job

Six ways to land the dream job

Published Jan 23, 2009

There's a reason why they call it job hunting. You compete with countless other equally qualified candidates for that dream job. The layoffs and challenges that employers face in a recession seem to only complicate your search further.

LaTanya Johns, director of the graduate career service center, works to improve the job process for MBA graduates from the Neeley School of Business. Johns said former MBA graduates are returning to her office following recent layoffs.

Inauguration a homage to American values

Published Jan 23, 2009

Tuesday was not all about President Barack Obama, not even close.

It was not about the end of the reign of Bush the Terrible, a hymn sung by many liberals.



It was not about the approximately $170 million spent, nor the president interrupting Chief Justice Roberts, nor the chief justice completely fumbling the oath of office.



It was about something much greater than all the players involved. Regardless of whether the inauguration cost $170 million or $17, it was a celebration of American democracy above all else.
