Scantastic
Oct. 14, 2008During last week's Student Government elections, student voters overwhelmingly rejected the referendum to install hand scanners at Southwest Recreation Center.

Republicans pulling out all stops to win
Oct. 13, 2008For those of you who haven't read it already, pick up a copy of George Orwell's "1984."

The two most important terms in there are "doublespeak" and "doublethink."
