GIGOLO JOE: Roommates should discuss furniture rules

Ball State Daily News, Ball State University, IN

2 days ago by Joe Cermak

Dear Gigolo Joe: I've had a roommate for a long time, and the one thing that keeps bothering me about him is the fridge. We really are at a loss for how to divide space in it. And a lot of times, I find my food gone or partially eaten because my roomie loves to eat (to say it nicely).

OUR VIEW: Student service

Ball State Daily News, Ball State University, IN

Officer Brandon Qualls is an example for all students on Ball State University's campus. He had a dream, and he went out and achieved it.

He didn't see his college days as the best times of his life, but instead used his passion to get a job at the University Police Department while in school.

Letter to the editor: Mainentence employees hit hardest with cuts

KY Kernel, University of Kentucky, KY

The news that UK President Lee Todd is only taking part of his bonus is comforting, especially since he's asked all staff and faculty to forgo any raises at all.

Some of the employees getting hit the hardest are those UK says they need here for emergencies: food handlers, maintenance workers, lab workers, plumbers, electricians and grounds workers.

CentrePoint gives students more reason to leave than stay

KY Kernel, University of Kentucky, KY

2 days ago by Taylor Shelton

Much has been written and much has been said about the so-called 'development' planned for downtown Lexington. While the CentrePointe tower surely is something, I would hesitate to call it "development." Usually, at least in economics, development implies a qualitative improvement over existing conditions.

Todd's bonus counterintutive during state's tight budget

KY Kernel, University of Kentucky, KY

Just in case you missed it, UK President Lee Todd will be receiving a $145,500 bonus this year. Yes, that number is nearly half of his annual base salary of $304,010 - the man just increased his 2007-08 income by 50 percent. Is this a bit outrageous? Simply put, yes.

Letter to the editor

I am overwhelmingly disappointed by the lack of services provided by the West Virginia State Tax Department. I called the Tax Department at 3:30 p.m. on Friday June 20, 2008. I was greeted with an automated response that stated, "Thank you for calling the State Tax Department.

Specialization can make you a slave

BG News, Bowling Green State University, OH

Buckminster Fuller's history of education demonstrates how the elite of the military-industrial-governmental complex keeps many of us in the dark. When we are in the dark, we can be more easily manipulated without being aware of it.

Fuller's history of specialization in schools and universities shows that the Great Pirates established a land-based home and made someone the Governor.

College life has done very little to quell my inner child

BG News, Bowling Green State University, OH

3 days ago by Levi Joseph Wonder

I've had the opportunity to talk to some college-graduated persons whom I know from my hometown and most of them have described college as a time for immature high school kids to receive university-level educations, to get involved in student organizations and have fun, and to become more mentally and emotionally mature in their lives.

A tribute to Bob

It's funny how life can throw things at you when you least expect it. It's even funnier what you can learn from these experiences and how they change you.

Yes, life is funny like that, but oftentimes, it leaves us crying rather than laughing.

Hate Pittsburgh weather? It hates you, too

The Pitt News, University of Pittsburgh, PA

3 days ago by Molly Green

The city of Pittsburgh is punishing us. The humidity, the wind and the five-minute thunderstorms that continuously interrupt otherwise beautiful weather: punishment.

I came to this realization while I was transporting a pile of clothing, which was at the time marinating in a disturbingly gray soup of dirty rainwater.

The death of Facebook

BG News, Bowling Green State University, OH

3 days ago by Brian Eggenberger

I remember O-REG. It was my first introduction into the wonderful networking world of Facebook. It was awesome! All my college friends were on there, even ones I had never met, and we used it to coordinate interests and events. We could upload incriminating pictures, talk trash on each others' walls, and all kinds of college-age shenanigans.

From the Daily: Loaded words

Michigan Daily, University of Michigan, Mi

6 days ago by Daily Editorial Staff

It took 217 years, but the U.S. Supreme Court finally made a decision Thursday about what the ambiguous nightmare we call the Second Amendment means. Yes, owning a gun is an individual right. But, no, your right to pack heat isn't absolute, especially if you want to own an Uzi.

From the Daily: Raising it through the roof

Michigan Daily, University of Michigan, Mi

6 days ago by Daily Editorial Staff

It's that time of the year again, the time when students receive their annual gift from the Board of Regents: a tuition hike.
