Well, folks, it's that time of year again — when Sundays are transformed from the day to cram in the weekend's allotment of homework, into the day to cram a weekend's allotment of chips and dip into your mouth.
It goes without saying that the government's ability to perform essential functions depends on a talented, well-educated and engaged workforce. During the next five years, about one-third of the government's top scientists, engineers, mathematicians, economists and other specialized professionals will be packing up their desks and retiring.
In basketball, they are called "Cinderellas," but in football they are the members of the Football Championship Subdivision. Either way, these teams aren't supposed to beat their bigger and more well-known competition. And yet they somehow find a way to win.
It's Friday afternoon, and everyone is outside for recess. You know that you'll be home in less than half an hour so the only thing on your mind is not being "it."
No, no more Popsicles were stolen. Although that would be hilarious and a little eerie (serial Popsicle thief, not cool), I wanted to expand on last week's column with a little more talk about free speech.
Would you rather eat more bread for less dough? Do you want omelets for dinner and pasta for breakfast? Is a tuna melt sandwich your idea of a complete meal? I think it's time you dared to enter my world: living on campus and off the meal plan.
What many of us do: We wait all week long, with the hope of seeing that person we are interested in out on the weekend to make our "big move." And when we finally see that person, we rehearse in our mind a thousand different ways to approach him or her, and wonder what line we should use.
This week's question stemmed from last week's Police Report in which The Collegian included a report made to the university police department that said popsicles valued at $5 were taken from an apartment during the summer.
I live off campus so I know nothing about meal plans, but I met with Dee Hardy, director of Dining Services. What I learned was that the meal plan themselves have not changed much throughout the years, but the cost of meal plans continues to rise with tuition increases.
Steroid use. Dogfighting. Murder. DUI. Adultery. Cheating.
In a two-year span, Michael Vick has gone from one of the fastest quarterbacks in the league, to an abuser of animals, and now holds a quarterback position with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Google, which owns YouTube, signed a contract with a few media companies last Thursday to feature TV shows and movies on the Web site, according to an article in The New York Times. The merge is supposed to generate more advertising for YouTube, because it is not making enough money from its advertising on the user-generated content.
When most people think about what waits for them down the road, they are filled with fear and anxiety. If you've ever wondered why most seniors hate being asked, "What are you doing after graduation?" the answer is simple. In six short words, you are essentially asking them to tell you about the next 60 years of their lives. This may not be your intention,
Human nature should not be banned.
The school year is quickly coming to an end, but there is just enough time left to look back on the year that was and what it could mean for the year that will be.
Four years ago seems like forever. But in retrospect, they were right when they said it would fly by. I am heartbroken that during my last year at the University of Richmond of actually taking people up on their offers to hang out, to go to dinner, to take road trips and to attend their organization's events, I have met genuine people with whom I feel I've lost time.
Last week I learned that Harry Kalas, the voice of the Philadelphia Phillies, passed away while preparing to call a Phillies victory over the Washington Nationals. He was found, unconscious, on the floor of the booth. I cannot find words to express the sorrow that news brought me. Harry was not just the voice of my summers, he was the voice of baseball.
My fellow graduates, as we reflect on the four years that were our college experience, I would like to take the time to highlight some key memories of our freshman year that only we, as seniors, could understand. Here's to four more years!
First, I'd like to introduce who the writers of this response are - a Turk and an Armenian. We both have an absolute adoration for our countries, and thus, the issue of "genocide" has come up between us in conversation numerous times. Even though we have different views on the issue, neither of us thinks it is up to anyone, aside from Armenia and Turkey, to officially resolve this issue.
Warning: My column (dubbed the Rice Report by some Collegian staffers) this week will be full of quotes from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. "Look my liege!"
