There are some things in life that just make you want to scratch your head and ask, "What in the world were they thinking?"
For instance, the Green Bay Packers refusing to let one of the best quarterbacks on the planet come out of retirement and run your team, despite the fact that he lead you to a 13-3 record and had you within one game of the Super Bowl a year ago.

Cabell County Schools has set a positive precedent by implementing random drug testing for students at Huntington and Cabell Midland high schools.
All students who participate in extracurricular activities and purchase parking passes to drive to school will be randomly screened for such substances as marijuana, cocaine, opiates and alcohol.

It is easy to think of only football once the fall semester begins on any campus. The fall editorial staff at The Parthenon is certainly not immune from talking about the brand-new college season. It is that one-of-kind time when tens of thousands of college students, administration and alumni can all come together in a rauckus environment.

As a conservative, I was particularly disappointed with Michael Cartier's assessment of the Georgian conflict. The invasion of Russian troops into Georgian territory was not any sort of "retaliation." For nearly 20 years, Russia has attempted to destabilize any former Soviet republic that has broken away towards democracy.

Off-campus drinking may well have just become far more costly for those underage students who choose to imbibe. Citing the desire to maintain and improve safety within the community, Public Safety Chief Michael McNair recently disclosed a new initiative aimed at improving communication and cooperation between Public Safety and police departments in Maryland and D.

It's an error message we've all faced or will face sometime during our academic career at Kent State. You send an e-mail, maybe with an attachment or two, to a classmate or a professor, and then you get an impossibly fast response:
"Your message cannot be delivered to the following recipients.

Even within my major, there are courses that appeal to me much more than the ones I am obligated to take. Exactly how much of a say should we have in our education?

The mere thought of Howard's registration and override process sends chills down the average Howard student's body. This isn't because they don't want to start classes… it's because they CAN'T.
When students arrive at Howard they receive a scheme that serves as a guide to graduating on time.

Barack Obama opposed the war in Iraq from the beginning because it distracted from our efforts to fight terrorism and al-Qaeda in Afghanistan. Obama will carefully redeploy our troops over 16 months, sending additional reinforcements to Afghanistan.

As a new school year begins, I'm sure you're wondering the same thing I am: where did the time go? What happened to playing Barbies and G.I. Joes? Now we're in charge of controlling our own lives. As a member of the senior class, I have learned a lot more in my three years at Capital than what could be taught in our UC courses; knowledge that I hope the incoming class uses to make the transition to college that much easier.

A little more than two months ago, the house I grew up in was destroyed in a fire. Our financial situation became immediately unclear, and it seemed like I wouldn't be able to complete my senior year at the most expensive university in the country.

I used to be just like you.
Young, full of hope and dreams for the future. I wanted to be an astronaut, a writer, a sculptor, an Olympian. But then I came to Goucher- a joke, don't panic!
That's not true (except for the astronaut bit) - not because Goucher doesn't have the capability to change you, for better or worse, but because I didn't embrace or engage this capability.

It's not a housing crunch, but it sure is a situation. As many of you are aware, there are quite a few freshmen living in temporary triples. In fact, approximately 55 percent of the class of 2012, 873 students total, currently live in this situation. Due in part to an 18 percent increase in enrollment, this scenario represents both a great challenge and a great opportunity for AU.

The Democratic Party's formal effort to take back the White House began last Monday as the party held its 2008 national convention in Denver. The convention shortly followed the announcement by Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) that Sen.

I just recently returned from a year in Leuven, Belgium, where I had the time of my life. I was able to learn so much about another culture, while studying, traveling and living in a house full of international students. However, I know that my experience would not have been the same without the help of Loyola and its staff.

Syllabus Week
Oh boy! It's that special time of year again, a time when students and faculty gather together to review four-page, stapled documents detailing how many times this semester young scholars will cry. Cheer up, though; syllabus week affords an opportunity to gaze fondly at that cute junior girl who decided to take your class.
