As we close in on the midway point of another semester there a quite a few hot topics that students are talking about around the campus. Parking, our football team, free scantrons, Amendment 26 and when the exact date that it will become fashionable again to wear leggings, XXXXL sweatshirts and rain boots. I'm thinking mid-October.

That said, I am going to take a different route, and talk about an issue that has been untouched as of yet by the campus water-cooler. Intramurals. I'm sticking to the important issues see?

Lately, some of the Republican candidates have managed to talk themselves into a hole concerning welfare and those living in poverty. Newt Gingrich, probably the most offensive on the subject, accused all poor people of not having the habit of “showing up on Monday,” implying that those living below the poverty line simply do not work as a result of laziness. He said, “Really poor children in really poor neighborhoods have no habits of working and have nobody around them who works.” 

Well, it’s a new year and a new semester, and for me, apparently, a new addiction, and I’m not sure that I’m all that happy about it. 

To the Editor: 

The first third of Trenton Winford’s column, “College isn’t for everyone,” is hogwash.

I stopped reading after this draconian quip: “Similarly, a high school senior can want to be a college student more than anything, but that doesn’t mean it is what he or she should be.”

I’m all for options in life, but don’t you dare tell any person or group of persons what they should or shouldn’t be.

I will be honest with you. Up until this year, I had never been extremely involved in political campaigns. Even though I always believed that exercising your right to vote is part of your civic duty as a citizen of the United States (I have never missed an election), I had never volunteered my time to campaign for (or against) a political candidate or ballot initiative.
