Mother's absence brings lost hope

This week marks one month that I am a motherless child.

Regardless of physical age, to our parents we are eternal children. I know this as I look at my daughters. My children exude this youthful fascination, much younger than their years, even though they are nowhere near the physical realms of adulthood. more >>>

ndividuality more than skin deep

CRYSTAL VALES cvales@mscd.edu

I dedicate this column to all the authentic individuals out there (you know who you are), and to all of you who know who Ayn Rand is and appreciate her work.

Our campus is somewhat diverse; all of the obvious commentary applies, different races, genders, etc.

Some look like they just rolled out of bed (me), and some look like they're strolling on the catwalk (the chicks in stilettos, ouch!). more >>>

Lack of education a true act of torture

ZOË WILLIAMS williamz@mscd.edu

Last week, I was sitting in a coffee shop reading from the Al Jazeera Website and an over-stimulated suburbanite bustled up to inform me that she could not read "Eastern News" because she just couldn't understand "why the heck those folks hate us so darn much." I replied by turning my computer screen in her direction to point at the headline of the story I was reading: "C.I.A. has secret terror jails." more >>>

Bush and Co. may benefit from flu

JAMIE DICKERSON jdicker5@mscd.edu

Lies, lies and more lies. The Bush administration has told so many I can hardly keep track. This time, the lie is the impending doom of the world population that can be found in the form of the Avian Flu.

Whenever Bush proposes a plan or asks congress for money, I always think, who will get rich off of this scam? Bush asked congress for over $7 billion to prepare for the potential pandemic and more than $2 billion will go toward vaccines. The obvious answer to the "who is getting rich" question is clear: Donald Rumsfeld. more >>>

Contentment key to technology race

SEAN G. DONOVAN sdonova3@mscd.edu

I want you to look around you right now. Find everything within arm's reach that has an electrical circuit and hold it in your hands, or if it's a computer look at the box in front of you. Take a good look at these objects of yours. Wait a second...now they're obsolete. It doesn't matter if you just took it out of the box, what you possess has just been outdated, outmoded, upgraded, and reinvented to make what you have fodder for eBay. more >>>

First dates leave one with more questions than answers

BETH HANNON bhannon@mscd.edu

Nothing will save you from being ridiculously nervous on a first date.

What is this war we all have between our hearts and our heads? My heart beats like crazy in anticipation of the first date.

My head tells me to quickly call and cancel. Reschedule with the trusty TiVo. more >>>
