Scooter riders have alternatives
By Max J. Krause | Feb. 3, 2008I don't understand why students are so disturbed by the decal increase. Owning a scooter is a luxury. If you can afford to spend $1,500 on a scooter, then you can afford to pay more than $100 for a decal. If you want to be "green," buy a bicycle. A nice, used road bike costs $150 from any of the local bike shops, and it gets infinity miles per gallon with zero emissions.

Column insulted men's intelligence
By Neil Cain | Feb. 3, 2008This letter is in response to Carly Hallam's piece about anti-male advertising. Having worked in the advertising industry for nearly a decade, I've got a possible paradigm shift for Ms. Hallam to consider. Imagine networks have been airing a female-centric show. The show appeals to stereotypical aspects of females. Women will watch this show. It allows them to satisfy their instinctual urges without fear of being judged. Now, after all these weeks, comes the finale of this show. Women around the nation gather, laughing and de-stressing all at once. Advertisers fill the show with inside jokes for those who have made the season a regular entertainment event.Women take a step back and chuckle at just how fun it can be to give in and admit that sometimes, you really like fulfilling the more silly of the stereotypical traits for which your gender is known.
