...staff is correct in criticizing Dean Lewis for refusing to endorse the change from "freshman" to "first-year." But it fails to point out a larger issue highlighted by the dean's veto: The council's new system of serving up proposals for Lewis' veto is totally humiliating, since it only underscores (and exacerbates) the council's place as a non-force on this campus. The system also destroys the arm's-length relationship that any legitimate college student government should have with the administration.

Simpson argues, "People across the land feel frustrated about the immigration situation. Unless we reform legislation, the American dream will turn into the American nightmare." To a certain extent, the Senator is correct in his prediction...
...Stone has also been described, as a tireless campaigner. Plus, she won the Golden Globe for best female actor--the Golden Globes used to be considered laughable, but they have slowly gained respect because they often predict the Oscar winners. Since 1989, the Golden Globes have been 75 percent correct in predicting the Oscars in the four acting categories...
