Barack Obama's election on Nov. 4th made me so proud to be a part of this wonderful, open-minded, accepting nation and gave me so much hope for the future. Within 24 hours that pride in the good of America was reduced to shame when I found out that California voted to pass Proposition 8.

USA Today reported last week that ESPN canceled a planned ad campaign that would play on the commonly held stereotypes of students from various colleges. Yes, Marquette made the list, and it hit a little too close to home for this columnist.

Guns N' Roses' highly anticipated album "Chinese Democracy" will be released Nov. 23. Funny thing is, more than a dozen Web sites currently have some or all of the tracks from Axl Rose's 13-year-masterwork available for download. And the album is free.
Illegal to download, but free.

I go to Marquette, and I am not Catholic. I'm one of 'those.' I went to public school and had never heard the word 'Eucharist' before I arrived on campus. But at Marquette I have never felt like one of 'those' or like an outsider when it comes to my faith.

Justification for the Use of Statins in Primary Prevention: an Intervention Trial Evaluating Rosuvastatin, more commonly the "JUPITER trial," recently concluded daily administration of the drug rosuvastatin, known commercially as Crestor, reduces the risk of a future heart attack by up to 60 percent in otherwise perfectly healthy individuals.
The study, sponsored by the drug's manufacturer AstraZeneca, has been hailed as groundbreaking by some and portentous by others-are we actually taking the first steps toward a society similar to those depicted in White Noise, 1984 and Fahrenheit 451? Both sides of a divided Royal Purple staff weigh in.

I admit it; I'm a reality T.V. junkie-but not for the trashy game shows. I love those specials on unusual families. I adored Little People, Big World, I was into John and Kate Plus Eight for a while (although I can't stand Kate anymore), and now my kick is watching the Duggar family in 17 Kids and Counting.

When one reflects on this election's historical importance, they will obviously remember Barack Obama's victory over John McCain and the Democrats' assumption of power, but just as Obama should be associated with his party's rise, Sarah Palin's name should be linked to the downfall of her party.

I often curse my younger brother for not buying into today's technology. However, when I walked right into a newspaper stand while texting on my way to class the other day, I envied his independence.

University President Michael Rao's interview Thursday with Central Michigan Life included remarks aimed to ease concerns about the recent faculty contract.
This would be well and good, but Rao's remarks did not answer the appropriate question.
When asked whether the latest faculty contract was fair, Rao cited economic woes, including rumblings of a possible state funding callback from Gov.

Somewhat reluctantly, I am writing about the election. Not entirely reluctantly, but what I mean is that I think my opinion is too biased and one-sided to say anything that is going to do justice to the historic events of last week. So instead, I am going to throw out some patriotic clichés, such as, "Today I'm proud to be an American," "I have hope in this country," "United we stand, divided we fall" and my personal favorite, "Make love not war.

On the night of the election, I was at the home of a conservative. I was watching the Comedy Central Colbert-Stewart special when the announcement was made: "Barack Obama is the President-Elect." I wanted to scream and rejoice, but I didn't want to offend my friend's mother, so I yelped into a pillow.

We have not committed to giving the Lawrence campus universal wireless access, or even good Internet access everywhere. While we acknowledge that the university has expanded wireless access to common spaces in dormitories and classrooms, there is still more work to be done.

The student door monitors and security are asking that everyone, who is not handicapped or does not have a large bundle, to refrain from using the handicapped entrance to the lobby of the Auditorium (AUD) building.
A growing problem that constantly arises in the lobby of the Auditorium building is that able-bodied persons use, or attempt to use, the handicapped door located on the Michigan Avenue side of the AUD building.

The issue of race has always preoccupied Americans, one way or another. In every piece of history written from the colonial days until today, Americans have been faced with a great dilemma: on one hand stands a deeply-rooted desire to maintain the American Dream, keep Democracy alive and support ideals and ethics like the value of family, life, right to work and equal opportunity.

I have seen the same scenario on Central Michigan University's campus more than once.
Faculty and administrators, or even finalists for administrative positions, hold open forums to speak on topics in light of bettering CMU.
The problem is, they don't realize what it means to speak at an open meeting, or at least the media's ability to report on one.

Is there a cause that is greater than yourself? Some would say no, and some would say that people should serve a purpose beyond their personal desires. They say that, it's a moral obligation to serve the community. But is it still moral when that self-sacrifice is forced upon us? Is it even legal? The 13th Amendment is very clear: "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime where of the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

In case you haven’t heard, a black male was just elected president of the United States, so this hardly seems like the day and age to suddenly take such a huge step back in another area of our civil rights. I don’t understand something. How could anyone have voted for Proposition 8? Can anyone give me one good reason why it should have passed and why the right of gay couples to wed in California was just rescinded? I’m issuing a challenge.

Saturday, Nov. 15 marks the opening of the firearm deer season in Michigan, and hunters across the state will once again flock to fields and forests in search of that elusive trophy. The good news is that, for the first time in years, hunters in the Lower Peninsula won't be heading to their bait piles on opening day.

All teens await their 16th birthday, often because this is when they’re allowed to claim that sweet, sweet driver’s license. My vehicle options were my dad’s bulky van (used to haul our boat), and my mom’s Honda Accord, which had a manual transmission.
