World
isn't our trash can
By Emily Brewer
The recent climatic extremes Winston-Salem has experienced
have issued a great challenge to the greenery we all enjoy.
'Sketchiness'
is universal
By Jennifer Thompson
The Diet Coke has calories. The Special K has
wheat and rice flakes. But over here in merry ol' England, I have discovered
that one thing can be counted upon to be the same as it is back home in
the States. It seems that even when you cross the ocean, a sketchy guy
is a sketchy guy ... is a sketchy guy.
Is
free tuition for all in the university's best interest
By
Chris Plumblee
I
have a somewhat dramatic idea to change the shape of the university forever.
For the Class of 2006, the cost of attending the university is approximately
$34,000 per semester.
A
black-and -white world
By Doug Hutton
Sept. 11, 2001 provided this country an escape, an
outlet from the moral relativism that has plagued the United States in
recent years. This country saw evil in its purest form, a total hatred
for a specific way of life that consumes the heart and soul of its followers,
gaining in intensity until ultimately let out through violence.
Sunday
quest for warm pizza, cold beer turns tragic
By Krys Mroczkowski
Sundays are usually glorious days for me. Since
I am taking a mind-boggling 13 credits this semester (one of which is
bowling), when most students are attempting to finish the ridiculous amounts
of work that eluded them on Friday and Saturday, I find myself playing
checkers using the Goldfish and M&M's from the trail-mix my mom sent me.
Spirit
of party exists first to advance worthy goals
By Jamie Kidd
Picking a weekly column topic is, for me, a highly
scientific process. I generally follow The New York Times e-mail edition
and The Daily Show With Jon Stewart avidly during the week. I then pick
whatever issue seems most pressing and start writing. If I'm really pressed
for time or ideas, I just steal one of Maureen Dowd's topics.
Instant
Messenger lures in students with cheap thrill
By Stephanie Bennett
School's
back in session, and the euphoria of ditching the parents and seeing old
friends has departed, leaving us with only the Lilting Banshees posters
to brighten our days. Already we have tired of the monotonous food repertoire,
the nightmarish class schedules, the unbelievably tiny showers and the
unceasing absence of paper towels in the bathroom.
Embrace
your inner nerd
By Matt Wilson
Go ahead and just face it. You are a nerd. We all
are. Now, just hold on there. Before anyone comes out to find me and prove
to me (by stomping on me) that he is, in fact, not a nerd, let me point
something out. Being a nerd - a trait which I will call hereafter "nerdity"
- is not a bad thing.
The
price of war, the cost of peace: overview of world
By
Ryan Whitley
For
a nation that claims to love and embrace peace, we have managed to be
at war for the majority of our existence. The Revolutionary War, the War
of 1812, the American Civil War, the Spanish-American War, World War I,
World War II, the Cold War, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf
War, the War Against Terrorism - and coming soon to a theater near you,
"Gulf War: The Sequel."
