Grass is greener at Zona Luce Plans for further development of the campus have often showed a new building placed in the field directly behind Zona Luce. Though no plans for any new buildings associated with the Centennial Campaign show a building in that spot, past blueprints have. The field, one of the only consistently green, healthy lawns in ...

Column Like I See ‘Em: Beware of greed Ð even at college
By Steve Holt, Opinion Editor When a Florida real estate investor Kevin Shelton fired $10,000 in cash into a crowd at a shopping center to "create a world of hope and joy," he couldn't foresee the mess it would cause.

Mess with Texas
By Joel Weckerly, Sports Editor Weck's World "Don't mess with Texas." Sure, the phrase merely represents a campaign to cut down on statewide litterbugs, but honestly, do Texans wear T-shirts emblazoned with the slogan just because they're tired of freeway garbage?

Letter from the Editor: Separate but equal month?
By Paul A. Anthony, Editor in Chief Is black history separate but equal? Black leaders not only say it should be, they also advocate a system of segregation against which their parents and grandparents fought.

Lori’s Story: Tanning beds equal unsafe tan
By Lori Bredemeyer, Copy Editor It's February and it snowed last week, but my friends are beginning to worry about how they'll look in their swimsuits.

By Kyle Peveto, Opinion Editor Vermont Gov. Howard Dean ended his campaign for presidency Wednesday. His campaign's promising beginning slowly grew to an embarrassing end. Through all the yelling and endless Bush bashing, Dean did accomplish a few things worthy of admonition. Dean stirred up and dusted off the stodgy political scene. He ... [Read More…]
SA passes responsible budget
The challenge for the Students' Association lies not in spending $111, 500; the challenge lies in spending it well. And thus far, our money-once Congress had enough people to vote on it-has been well spent, with few exceptions. Several additions to this semester's budget are good ideas. Foremost of these is a section for Campus ... [Read More…]
SA reps must commit
By Melanie J. Knox, Opinion Editor As I Wish Members of the Students' Association who made commitments to the student body and the administration, but shirk those commitments, have lied to their constituents and discarded both responsibility and integrity. Recent letters to the editor seem to imply that the Optimist has called for SA members to ... [Read More…]
ICOC forums can begin healing
Talking things out can lead to healing. This has been the standard idea in psychological counseling for the last century, and we hope it can begin to close the rift that exists between the mainline Churches of Christ and the International Churches of Christ this year at Lectureship.
