Stop, drop and ... oh, to hell with it!

Monday, Nov. 5,2007 8:15 p.m.

This attitude is a cause for concern, taking into account the multiple deaths of college students in fires during the past several years. For example, during the first week of classes in the fall of 2004, three fraternity brothers at the University of Mississippi perished in a fire after a party at their house.

Quitting simply means that certain priorities, like preventing cancer or saving money, become more compelling than the addiction.

To vote or not to vote

By Scott Leadingham · Monday, Nov. 5,2007 8:12 p.m.

Seems to me there’s something important happening today. Class? Nope. Work? Definitely not. French pedicure and bikini wax? No, that was Saturday. That’s right, how could I forget? Today marks our yearly ritual of purposely forgetting to vote. Since it’s been an entire year since you last avoided the polls, it’s understandable that you, like me, would have trouble remembering to do your civic duty and refrain from voting for no good reason other than pure sloth. Take, for example, the following conversation with my roommate which took place last election day:
