We have a lot of choices in how we get our news. Media corporations such as CNN, FOX NEWS and MSNBC run 24-hour news networks as well as up-to-date Web sites to satisfy our curiosity. The news channels are generally disappointing as they attempt to stretch an hour’s worth of […]
Hard work of a few make homecoming a success
A warm, clear day and the hard work of a few helped make this year’s homecoming celebration a success. And after this particular one, I can say that with the utmost of confidence. Upon accepting an internship with the Office of Alumni Relations, I did not know what to expect. […]
Sleep deprivation causes a slip in motivation and landslide in grades
Students need it. Students love it. Students want more of it, but can’t seem to find the time to have it. What is it? Sleep. The college years are notorious for the “no sleep, all study” mind frame that most students have. Between classes, study groups, homework and social lives, […]

‘Duets’ a tribute to Reba
The jury is still out on who exactly caused the lights to go out in Georgia, but it is apparently clear who can¬-after decades in the music business-still top charts with a debuting album.
