Traditionally, November causes us to bleed out of our ears. It is a time when our radio stations like 99.9 KEZ make the conversion from its regular genre-specific drivel to around-the-clock Christmas-specific drivel. It is a time when department stores and grocery stores follow suit. It is a time when
As of late, we have been hearing a lot of talk about a dynamic leader with broad, idealistic aspirations. The principles of change and hope for a better future have been alluded to more times than can be counted. At this time in history, the pieces have come together to create a climate in which true transformation is possible.
Tuesday will mark a beginning for one of the presidential candidates and a new era in American politics. As their campaigns shift into high gear, though, we are already mourning what is about to come to an end — the sassy political coverage that has made us laugh through what could have been an otherwise tense election season.
Bravo to the youth outreach programs started by the ASU athletic department. Hoping to curb Arizona’s abysmal high school dropout rates, Sparky and company have been working to foster excitement among Valley elementary and middle school students about the prospects of higher education. Even better, its benefits reach beyond the programs’ goals by putting loud, excitable fans in the seats and creating a legion of proud lifelong Sun Devils. Also, we hope, all of the children are being asked to sign letters of intent to play for ASU someday. At least a handful of those lil’ recruits ought to pan out, right?
When anything goes wrong in life, the natural first reaction is for the person or persons involved to find where to point the blame.
When thoughts of increased tuition and/or fees pass through the mind of an average college student, the typical knee-jerk reaction involves cries of protest and a long string of expletives directed at the school’s administration.
The road the White House has been a long one.
Sen. John McCain will carry his home state.
Boo to the NCAA. They haven’t actually done anything to upset us yet, but we’re just anticipating poor relations between our University and the overlords of intercollegiate athletics now that we have a robot on campus capable of fielding baseballs. Designed by ASU researchers, the “catch-bot” boasts a .800 fielding percentage and can move at around 30 mph and could possibly shore up Pat Murphy’s middle infield come springtime — if only robots were allowed.
It would not be a stretch to say President Michael Crow is the least popular man on this campus.
We could not help but notice a theme among ASU athletics this weekend. And we hate to be the ones to point it out, but across the board the Sun Devils are looking shabby.
By all accounts, the Jetsons are supremely badass.
In the news media, there has been one fundamental question posed to readers over the past few years: Paper or plasma?
Boo to the new speed cameras on highways statewide. Sure, the budget could use some money, but this is not the way to be doing it. The problems are plentiful: it will create unsafe situations with speeding cars slamming on the breaks when the vans come into sight, it will not flash the equally dangerous under-the-speed-limit drivers and it will not take into account the driving safety tactic of going with the flow of traffic. But the state will have nothing of those arguments, so sadly, we only have one word of advice to give to our fellow drivers: Smile.
It has been over one week since onlookers along University Drive were left in udder disbelief.
Boo to the impending departure from our campus by Google. While they’ll still work with the University on all of the school’s Google-hosted Web applications, Google will no longer have an office on campus — no matter how much your search for it, it won’t be there. Not even if you’re ‘feeling lucky.’ Honestly, this Google News isn’t too sad, but it does make us ASU kids feel unwanted. That’s rude. What on Google Earth were they thinking?
We figured the bars surrounding the Tempe campus were the byproducts of an oversized college crowd with an overzealous appetite for booze. After all, these establishments have, for years, served as a beacon of freedom for co-eds living life away from the rigid structure of their homes.
In a famous nursery rhyme, the angry giant warns the reader of his impending rabblerousing with a simple call: Fee-fi-fo-fum.
It sure would be easy to write this editorial about all the bad things that happened Saturday night, like the fact that the Sun Devil football team lost a nationally televised matchup in front of a few million viewers or that the Georgia Bulldogs held the Sun Devils to four yards rushing.
