The Avenue takes on: tattoos

Oh, it would hurt. But it would be worth it. To the tune of buzzing needles, I opened the door of Bodytech Tattooing and Piercing. The safe sounds of West University Avenue - cars passing, music playing and horns honking - disappeared and reality set in.

Proposed scholarship bill won't work

While Sen. Jeremy Ring's proposal to push students into certain majors through fiscal incentives may look good on paper, his efforts are not likely to pan out as expected. Even if the bill were to pass, the truth is that science and engineering students have too many difficult classes to be propelled solely by the extra cash he has proposed.

Bill encourages better career choices

As a Ph.D. student in the College of Engineering, I can completely understand Sen. Jeremy Ring's stance on cultivating the student culture toward education, sciences and health care. Historically, there has always been a higher demand for teachers, health care employees and scientists in the United States to support the country's infrastructure.
