No sweat for single ladies at Eastman

There are two types of college women that go to the gym: those who work out and those who scope out SCSU's male population while pretending to work out. As someone who is serious about getting into shape, I've become increasingly annoyed with the wave of women, or should I say girls, that strut into Eastman caring more about their physical appearance than their physical health.

Dogdeball, sport of kings, (& roomates)

From about 10-11p.m. last Wednesday night, I felt like I was in fifth grade all over again. My team, "The Fruity Picks" and I were running around shoeless, gunning balls at peoples heads without a worry in the world.

With a house full of seven guys, four of them new this semester, my roommates and I were in dire need of a bonding experience.

Sainthood? Don't make me laugh

When I read Eric Aadland's letter in the Opinions page on Monday I did all I could to not laugh out loud. The piece of propaganda that he sent in had no arguments for "Dubbya" being one of the greatest Presidents in the White House. To be considered, he has to do extraordinary things for the well-being of the people of the United States.

When students at a high school "Participation in Government" class were asked to invite outside speakers to debate controversial issues, I accepted this opportunity to discuss why I believed the school should stop purchasing animal "specimens" for teaching biology, and should instead use lifelike three-dimensional models with removable parts and/or interactive computer programs.

Pay attention to all of the protesters

Pay attention to all of the protesters

I'm haunted by the look on this student's face. She's just being arrested and she's partially turning away from the CNN crew to avoid being ID'ed while trying to make a statement. In spite of her anxiety she manages to communicate clearly and effectively to the camera, posing the question, "When are people going to wake up and realize what's happening in America? When are they going to start caring?"

And we do! Young adults! With the right to vote! She understands what is at stake.
