The AFB provides funding for student organizations all over campus, and last year, AFB received about $76,000 in student money.

The split of the nation's judicial leaders on whether America needs to do something about global warming is a good thing.In a 5-to-4 decision Monday, the Supreme Court ruled the Bush administration's Clean Air Act does allow the Environmental Protection Agency to regulate carbon dioxide emissions and berated the EPA for not attempting to regulate them in the first place.
