uses academic ideas in real world

By
Will Wingfield
The
Old Gold and Black takes its role in the university community and its
responsibility of fair and accurate reporting very seriously. Thus,
we were deeply concerned when an official university communication suggested
inaccuracies in the articles.
Student
columnists must rise above partisan quibbles
By
Kathryn Spangler
Healthy
debate is a cornerstone of any democracy, but I dare anyone to find
something healthy about a group of middle-aged men and women screaming
about taxes and health care as though they were auditioning for
Days of Our Lives.
Increased
technology parallels privacy loss
By
Brett Gray
They're
watching me. I can feel their eyes upon my skin. No, I'm not talking
about the people who watch my voyeur-tastic Web cam, I'm talking
about the University Police.

By
Jamie Kidd
While doing research for this column, I found an Associated Press

Weed
that is terrorism must be attacked at its roots
By
Ryan Whitley
With
the anniversary of the attacks of Sept. 11 come and gone, I want to
reflect for a moment about the future. It is my belief that our response
to that attack was not wholly appropriate, but then this question arises:
What would have been appropriate?

enthusiasm for weekend bar-hopping and college football games.
So-called
'reality' is a threat to real lives
By Krys Mroczkowski
The
last vestige of quality television has fallen prey to the trendy

hope that either the hosts or I contract the West Nile Virus, whichever
will end my suffering quicker.
Embarrassment,
awkwardness typify university life

just plain awkward.
Helpful
hints for the lovelorn
By Scott
Anderson
We

Nevada's
logic up in smoke?
By
Miranda Mills
Calling
all marijuana smokers! Nevada wants you, yes you ,in the prostituting,
gambling center of the nation. Now, after recruiting adulterers,
STD's and the scum bagging wealthy, they want more. They want
the drug-addicted.

By
Fritz Vaughn
During
the early morning hours of the one-year anniversary of the Sept.
11 attacks, honored appropriately in remembrance and hope as
Patriots' Day, I sat awake, reflecting on the events of the
past year and was compelled to write down the following thoughts
on being an American.
Windows

By
Chris Plumblee
Computing
is as much a part of this university as being a basketball
fan or getting plastered on the weekends, which is to say
that if you choose to make that an important part of your
life, you are free to do so, but otherwise, you can take it
or leave it.
