Deleting economics class a mistake

By Travis Hornsby | Jan. 27, 2010

The administration of the Warrington College of Business Administration recently announced its plans to do away with managerial economics, a long-required course for many majors in the business college. The deans have decided to replace this course with international business, on the claim that a new global economy demands business students learn how to compete worldwide. However, the real reasons motivating their decision show little regard for the business college students and the value of their degrees.

Baby boomers caught with pants down

Jan. 27, 2010

There are many avenues President Obama could have traversed with his first State of the Union speech, and I suppose that he can be forgiven for wanting to stick with whatever it is his teleprompter told him to say Wednesday night. I probably would have paid attention if he were wearing a T-shirt with three wolves on it.

Dishes delight taste buds

By DREW WATKINS | Jan. 27, 2010

Drew: Tagged down behind enemy lines, you might not expect to find a delicious plate of crispy egg noodles. But that’s exactly what you’ll encounter at regionally famous Saigon Legend, located on 1228 W. University Ave. This unassuming Vietnamese eatery doesn’t plaster its rooms with glow-in-the-dark tables and new-age bullshit; instead it brings a nice medley of pork, chicken and Asian vegetables that will delight the senses and set your taste buds ablaze.

MTV show “shore” fire win with fist pumps

By REBEKAH SHEPPARD | Jan. 27, 2010

Remember when MTV aired shows that didn’t render its acronym a complete misnomer? If you, like me, were still in diapers when the “Real World’s” first season rocked the world of television, my guess is that you can’t. But today, what the network lacks in substance it compensates for with its remarkable ability to repackage the utterly talentless among us as entertainment. The ratings ploy of the season is the show that everyone loves to make fun of: Of course I’m referring to our orange-and-proud friends on “The Jersey Shore.”

Haiti fundraisers get fun

By Jon Silman | Jan. 27, 2010

Sometimes extraordinary things come from ordinary people - in ordinary places. Will Thomas, 33, a common man with sharp blue eyes, works prep at The Top and plays the drums in local band Grabass Charlestons. He gets up early enough to listen to the birds on his way to work and NPR when he gets there. On this particular Tuesday morning, while working in the silver, cluttered kitchen behind shelves of clunky metal pots and pans, the UF grad knew something was wrong.
