I am sick of reading the discussion about ladies night. Do you want to know the opinion of average Joe or Lane? Who cares? If women are concerned about being taken advantage of, then do not drink to the point at which you cannot control yourself. That is Safety 101. Guys who complain about free drinks for women? Really? Are you really going to try to hook up with a girl who is going to a club or bar just to get hammered? Doesn’t seem to be where you need to look for women anyway, so why does it matter?

There’s been yet another scandal in the Catholic Church. It seems that every few years, there’s something else that comes out about a number of priests involved in pedophilic relations and a subsequent Church cover-up.

The cancelation of the Band of Horses concert turned the potentially greatest exam week many of us would have seen in years into the worst. Heaven forbid we stop cramming and let the Adderall wear off long enough to relax and enjoy some music. True, the Slightly Stoopid concert got a little more “stoopid” than we all expected, but I doubt that fans would have gotten rowdy enough during “The Funeral” to crowd surf and smoke out the Reitz Union Ballroom. Personally, I am embarrassed that our school feels the need to ground us for exam week because we aren’t responsible enough to attend a concert during a study break. Don’t lecture us on stress management, UF; you’ve lost your credibility.
