Too many tragedies

Don't drink and drive. Please. I met a mother this summer who lost her 18-year-old son Adam in a drunk driving accident. He wasn't drinking. The man who hit him was, but that man survived.

Don't 'waste' away your experience

A good friend of mine is an resident assistant in Briscoe this year. As we chatted this week about our summers, I asked her why she had decided to become an RA, especially in Briscoe. There's nothing wrong with that, but I was surprised because she seems more academically oriented. During her first two years, she lived in the Honors section of Ashton Center. It seems she didn't have a choice.

Get Legal

Plenty of students are experiencing being away from home for the first time, and money shortages are often a big problem. So when credit card companies offer students cards through the mail or even booths on campus, it's a tempting offer. Just what you need, right?

Pearl Jam's live performance proves better than album

Short hair, tear-free clothing and not a flannel in sight. But, it was unmistakably Pearl Jam on stage at Deer Creek Aug. 18. Although the Seattle-based guitar band seemed impassionate on its last album, it could not disappoint fans ' new or old ' with a performance that matched the band's passion in days gone by. It proved it still could produce the magic made in the early 1990s.
