Army must be integrated to stop bias against homosexuals
By WILLIAM QUINN | Apr. 8, 2008Imagine that a resident assistant walking through a dorm at night hears a noise that sounds suspicious, so he or she knocks on the door. He eventually gains access to the room and realizes that he has interrupted a sex act between two male students. He reports the incident to the administration. The president oversees an investigation into the sexual identity of the two students. The investigation infuriates other homosexual students, so several of them walk into the president's office and claim to be homosexuals. After learning that all the students are in fact homosexuals, the university expels all of them.

Leak deserves credit for championship
By Dana Preble | Apr. 8, 2008A little detail bugged me in Mondays Grad Tab 2008 article. It says …the Gators football team, led by quarterback Tim Tebow, snagged a championship of its own on Jan. 8, 2007. Im not trying to take anything away from Tim Tebow he is a tremendous athlete, a great person and he was a major contributor to our championship. He is now our leader and I look forward to the 2008 season.

Media falsely name McCain 'maverick'
By JOSHUA FREDERICKSON | Apr. 8, 2008Members of the mainstream media in this country have been engaged in a nauseating love affair with Sen. John McCain ever since his failed presidential campaign in 2000. During that campaign, the Arizona senator swept the press off of their collective feet with his brash "straight talk," his disarming charm and his self-deprecating sense of humor. Many so-called "journalists" labeled him a "maverick" because he occasionally refused to toe the line of his intellectually and morally bankrupt party. However, this, in and of itself, does not a maverick make. Simply repeating something over and over again does not mean that it's true.
