Kanye's comments break record of idiocy
By Samuel Thomas | Sep. 14, 2009I have to admit, I usually hate everything on MTV and refuse to watch it, but when I got on Facebook and saw no less than 700 statuses along the lines of "Kanye West at the VMAs - what a terrible person!" it was of the utmost importance that I find the video online.

Bright Futures needs higher standards
By CHRIS MOODY | Sep. 14, 2009I would like to defend Kyle Robisch and his column last week regarding Bright Futures scholarships. It seems Sarah Maloney is nitpicking the literal meanings of his words. Anyone deserving a need-based scholarship is required to have a certain GPA and SAT score. That is supposed to be the point of a scholarship - to give an incentive to be a well-educated student. What's the point in receiving a scholarship to attend the university because I can't afford it if I fail every single class I take? So cheers to you, Kyle, for making this point.

Students to blame for high food prices on campus
By Derek Matteson | Sep. 13, 2009Yep, that's right. I blame you guys, every last one of you who eats on campus. I know it takes five minutes in the morning to throw two slices of bread together with some meat and cheese, but that five minutes will save you 20 in the Subway line. I bring my lunch every day I can. When they were open, I was a faithful Wendy's dollar burger patron when I couldn't bring lunch.
