Imagine yourself riding on a crowded bus, your face pressed up against some fat guy's armpit. The sweat from his face rolls down onto your shoes. But you can't move, because you're straddling a metal bar while a woman's six kids bite your ankles and draw pictures of Barney on your butt.
So it's all coming down to the Sunshine State. It's very troubling that a few scattered votes might actually determine the next leader of the free world.

Doesn't the news make you mad sometimes? Send it back. Ballantine Hall has new recycling bins for your IDS and using them will help save wild forests.
While the Oct. 25 IDS article, "Science pitted against religion," tried to undermine the relationship between science and Islam, the teachings of Islam prove otherwise.
The plans for the new science building concern me as they seem to include the destruction of part of the woods between Ballantine Hall and the Chemistry building. I am very surprised by this.
I was completely taken aback today upon seeing the fantastic world of make-believe that the staff editorial (Nov. 9) painted on the topic of IUSA's proposal to dictate the starting and ending times of construction projects on campus.
