- It's just a place, right? (Mike Vanegas Scene editor)
In three months, I'll be gone. I realized that the other day when an envelope filled with commencement information met me at the mailbox. It was a sign of my collegiate mortality.
Viewpoint
- Don't displace blame; be responsible (Kimmi Martin Reflections of a Nice Girl)
As I sit here watching Monday Night Raw, I can't help but think about the type of age we live in where it is so easy to place blame everywhere but on ourselves. I love it every time the Rock says "candyass" and "rootypoo." I watch in anticipation of seeing who will be thrown headfirst into a table. It is violent, and it is entertainment.
- Inconsistent view of homosexuality misleads students (Charles Rice Right or Wrong?)
On Tuesday, the people of California voted on Proposition 22, which proposes that, "only marriage between a man and a woman is recognized in California."
- We should practice forgiveness (Letter to the Editor )
I just wanted to write a little note of encouragement to the "waterboy." We all have our moments in life that we wish we could take back. I know I have had my share. Everyone makes mistakes and the only thing that we can do is realize them, admit it and try to go on as best we can. To everyone else, give the poor guy a break; no one can do anything about it now and he was not the only one who threw an object at that game. Let's all forgive him and move on with life. I believe he has been more than necessarily punished with every student, faculty member and alumnus calling for his head on a platter.
- Alumni criticism is a disservice (Letter to the Editor )
How ashamed we, as a student body, should be of ourselves. Misconduct at basketball games, poor displays of sportsmanship and self-control and immaturity in the national spotlight have tainted our image. We are no longer the "MVPs." We have let ourselves, our school, our alumni and our historical reputation down.
