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.

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.

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.

Singer-songwriter deserves to climb the charts

Singer-songwriter deserves to climb the charts

Published Jan 23, 2009

Just five years ago, singer-songwriter Brett Dennen was a camp counselor who played his songs in front of the fire. With his new album, "Hope For The Hopeless," Dennen still retains that sense of intimacy.

Dennen's sound calls to mind his contemporaries, like Jason Mraz and former tour mate John Mayer, who make wistful, easygoing pop.



Producer John Alagia, who has worked the boards for acts like Mayer and the Dave Matthews Band, gives the songs a stripped-down feel, showcasing the substance of Dennen's songwriting over style.
