Hustle and bustle, it’s how we function. And, in order to do so — to live and work and socialize or go to school in all parts of the Valley, we must transport ourselves. As scientists are currently preoccupied developing cell phone technology that allows us to send emails or order pizza from the moon by commanding an imaginary friend (Siri), teleportation technology won’t be making its debut any time soon.
In an age where everything is on the Internet, privacy is not a word one hears regularly. Yet, in the real world, where people live, breath, go to class and can’t be terminated by deleting a line of html coding — privacy is still valued. Even, at a public university.
“BREAKING: Peyton Manning eats In-N-Out Burger. They don’t have that in Florida. He obviously prefers Arizona.”
According to Ohio Sen. Nina Turner, R-Cleveland, if women’s reproductive health is regulated, so should men’s. She introduced Senate Bill 307, which would require men to regularly see a sex therapist, be routinely tested for cardiac stress and get a notarized affidavit signed by a sexual partner confirming impotency in order to acquire a prescription for Viagra.
Bravo to the stellar pitching performances of the ASU softball team. Senior Hillary Bach and sophomore Mackenzie Popescue each had impressive performances in last week’s Wilson/DeMarini Invitational. Bach threw the sixth perfect game in ASU history against Wichita State and Popescue threw a no-hitter against Boise State. The two pitchers have helped the defending national champions improve to 21-2 on the season. Bach finished her junior campaign with a record of 10-0 and an ERA of 2.79 and is on track to have an even better senior year. Bach has already posted a 9-0 record with a 0.28 ERA this year while Popescue is 4-1 on the season with a 1.38 ERA.
Take off your pants. Donate them. Run around.
As Americans, we cling to the idea that above all else, freedom and liberty of the individual must always remain our top priority. Without this as the bedrock, our economic disparity of wealth could mirror that of a third world country, we could owe more debt on our education than our credit cards or worse yet, we could become Canada.
Social media is a popularity contest. Or at least it used to be. Perhaps in some ways it still is. Either way, like the discovery of a new fossil fuel, we’re fascinated by it and have yet to lift our gaze from the microscope.
They make promises only to attack and attempt to debunk those of their opponents. They cling to extreme claims or ideals in a desperate hope that more votes, donations and support will come pouring in. They are Republicans, Democrats, liberals, conservatives, candidates and constituents — these are irrelevant titles — and they’re abandoning any middle ground seeking to exist on the fringe and remain in the way of progress.
Bravo to Rep. John Kavanagh, R-Fountain Hills, confirming that House Bill 2675 was withdrawn on Thursday. As you now know, this bill would have required all students, aside from those on national merit and athletic scholarships, to pay a mandatory $2,000 toward tuition. There would be no such thing as a “free ride” in Arizona. This is really a bravo to student activism and a collective opposition to this bill from introduction to its withdrawal. You spoke out against it on campus, at committee meetings, in our letters to the editor section of the paper and of course — online.
As the state of Ohio and the nation mourn the loss of three students’ lives at the hands of one of their former classmates — a boy who felt so outcast, so ostensibly on the fringe, his only perceived means of crying for help was through the barrel of a gun — the state of Arizona attempts to come to a conclusion on Senate Bill 1474, the guns on campus bill.
It’s not every day you see a coach of a major collegiate sport walking around campus, let alone on any of ASU’s.
You read articles about the cost of higher education every day. You talk about it with your friends and write it down on applications for student loans. Where then, do you stand on the value of a college degree?
Rising tuition has become commonplace in higher education and each academic year comes with a slightly greater increase than the last. ASU In-state costs went from roughly $5,400 during the 2008-09 academic year to more than $8,500 this year. Thankfully, for in-state undergraduates, the end of the increases is in sight.
Bravo to The Arizona Board of Regents coming together in unanimous opposition to Senate Bill 1474 Tuesday, which would allow anyone over the age of 21 with a concealed-carry permit to carry a gun on campus. A sufficient argument that this legislation is a necessity, or is beneficial to anyone at all, has yet to surface. It has been opposed by the University community, President Michael Crow, the ASU, NAU, and UA police departments — the people it will directly affect and put in danger — and now ABOR has officially given it a thumbs down, as well.
The Republican debate Wednesday night in Mesa, the final debate before the primaries, returns the political spotlight and eye of the nation to Arizona.
As college students, most of us are in a perpetual state of penny pinching. We forgo a night out for a new textbook (or vice versa) and in order to pay tuition, some of us go without life’s other luxuries such as new cars, new technological gadgets or a new wardrobe every season. But perhaps the most basic, most vital expense is rent or the cost of housing, and for a lot of us, it’s too damn high.
Our early adult lives are dictated by a series of decisions seemingly inundated with rankings. As we leave high school and compete for acceptance to universities across the nation, we see how we rank among our peers by subjecting ourselves to a series of standardized tests in order to gain admittance. We then cipher through the various meal plans, housing plans, programs of study, Princeton Review “Top 10” lists and pit each institution of higher learning against one another by comparing how they rank nationally in academics, standard of living, athletics and job placement post-graduation. The list is endless and never all-inclusive or absolute. It changes all the time. Depending on who ranks who where, is what gives any title such as “Best Party School,” or “Top Business School” any weight or authority.
Bravo to confectionary and candy-making mainstay Mars Inc. for giving their chocolate products — Snickers, Dove Bars, Twix and M&Ms, to name a few — a slim down. After signing a pledge with Michelle Obama’s Partnership for a Healthier America, the company began a project to phase out all portions exceeding 250 calories by 2013. This means smaller portions, new packaging and hopefully less obese Americans. While we can all agree there is nothing fun about “Fun Size” candy bars, this is a king-sized leap in the fight for a healthier America. Snack responsibly.
Every day we’re bombarded with thousands of advertisements, images, information, propaganda, political literature, petitions or some other variant of the aforementioned. And when you break it down, they all aim to do one thing: convince you that your signature, your involvement, your awareness, your “click to learn more,” or your inclusion on an email newsletter list and not more than five minutes of your time will either inspire or block some form of social change.
