It’s the little things people appreciate most. Around campus, it’s the little things that can make the difference between a great day and a crappy reason for getting out of bed that morning. Today, I’d like to talk about … wastes of time and money.
Ever since Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean” whenever someone mentions a pirate your mind automatically jumps to Johnny Depp and eyeliner. Does anyone ever stop to think, do they still exist? Well the pirates are back and stronger than ever, and no, not Orlando Bloom or Kiera Knightly, but the Somalis.
Safety Inspections are currently taking place in various student residences around campus. The main goal of these invasions of privacy is to check for any safety violations or illegal substances such as drugs and alcohol (abused by underage students).

Some teachers are more qualified to teach than others, as you’ve probably already noticed. In one class you might have a teacher whom you really connect to, and who explains the concepts in ways that you really understand.
With papers due every week and students having to juggle school, friends and other obligations, it’s no wonder when people find themselves faced with the last minute assignment.
Dear Freshmen,
Health and Safety inspection time is not one of panic. This is the time where big fancy officials come around to make sure that we’re not making our rooms a hazard to ourselves. They want to make sure you aren’t plugging your computer, your TV, and your PS2 into a single multi-plug extension cord.
Dear 49ers,
My name is Holly Byrd, and I am the President Pro Tempore of the Student Senate. We in the SGA Legislative body are here to provide a link between the improvements that need to be made to our campus and the Student Body.
Those who celebrated Barack Obama's victory in the presidential election as a sign that the United States can at last be called a land of fairness and equality shouldn't count their chickens before they've hatched. What should be a confident step forward into a new era for this nation is overshadowed by segregationist worldviews that have endured, and, sadly, thrived.

It has been an issue that has popped up in Washington, D.C. It is debated on street corners, city halls and in the back of Chik-Fil-As across the country. Should America make English its national language? I answer this question with another question. What would this accomplish?
Let’s talk about sustainability. That’s not something you hear often in daily conversation, right? But as out of place as it may seem, students and staff across this campus are engaging in a dialogue about sustainability that is growing even as you read this.
Judging from the way the earth’s population keeps shooting up and how in some countries there already isn’t enough to go around, the answer is yes. If things are bad now, imagine what they will be like in years to come.
