Missing flag, missing fun

By Alyson Brodsy · Monday, Sept. 30,2002 12:08 a.m.

Now again I have witnessed what I loathe most about my peers. This weekend, in what was presumably an act of inebriation, the American flag that I proudly display at my residence was purloined.

School vouchers a problem

By Alyson Brodsy and Jason Grinblat · Monday, Sept. 30,2002 12:07 a.m.

On Aug. 5, a Leon County circuit court overturned Florida's statewide school voucher program, citing a violation of the state's constitution. The program, part of Governor Jeb Bush's 1999 education reform plan, offers the parents of children attending the lowest-ranked Florida public schools the choice of sending their children to other public schools, or using state-funded vouchers to send their children to private schools, many of which are religiously affiliated.

Three years ago, as a scared freshman not wanting to go to Wal-mart Midnight Madness alone, I introduced myself to a girl on my floor in Read Center. I just wanted someone to compare prices with, and now I'm getting ready to be a bridesmaid in my old floormate's wedding.

Take Back the Night

By Jackie Corgan · Friday, Sept. 27,2002 2:33 a.m.

Students and Bloomington locals gathered Thursday in Dunn Meadow to stand up for women's rights at the annual "Take Back the Night." To show their support, those in attendance took part in a vigil and listened to speakers such as health and abuse specialists. They marched to the Monroe County courthouse for a public speak-out where they listened to women give their own personal accounts of domestic abuse. "Women's rights is something I find interesting and think everyone should fight for them," freshman Jackie Widau said. "My friend was raped and I saw how she had to deal with that pain, I don't want to see that happen to anyone else."

'Guide' one best not followed

By Brittany Ausmus · Friday, Sept. 27,2002 1:27 a.m.

When I picked up Plebes: The Cartoon Guide for College Guides I had some hope for the book. I am a devoted reader of the Onion, a satire newspaper, and the cover boasts that the author, L.T. Horton, is a contributor. Alas, my hopes were in vain.
