Le Dernier Cri

By Claire Burke · Tuesday, Oct. 9,2007 10:26 p.m.

This past month in New York, London, Milan and Paris, fashion weeks have been forecasting the trends for next season and allowing designers to show six months worth of hard work to their eager audiences. This season, we saw many new trends for spring, including menswear-inspired looks, muted colors, hats in many forms and the ever-present spring floral print. This season’s looks were much more sophisticated, with clothing that was more structured and planned than that of past years.

Coach’s dilemma

By Thomas Wachtel · Tuesday, Oct. 9,2007 7:55 p.m.

Unless you’re new around here, you probably know that in the United States, we have guaranteed freedom of religion, and (supposedly) separation of church and state.

Facebook activism?

By Ayesha Awan · Tuesday, Oct. 9,2007 7:52 p.m.

Browse through your friends’ Facebook profiles and you’ll see that a good number of them are part of at least one politically-oriented group, such as “Barack Obama: One Million Strong for Barack” or “Abolish Abortion.” I’m sure these students have the best of intentions when joining these groups, but take a practical look at them.

The upside to downers

By Jennifer Miller · Tuesday, Oct. 9,2007 7:50 p.m.

CAIRO, Egypt – Here’s an idea: Let’s sweep the auto industry out from Detroit. While we’re at it, let’s knock out tourism from Egypt. No? Then why has the U.S. undertaken the revitalized surge in the movement to eradicate poppy fields in Afghanistan? The poppy plant is used in the production of opium and heroin – an industry that accounts for the main source of revenue for the Afghan state.

Up, up and away?

Tuesday, Oct. 9,2007 7:49 p.m.

In the 2007-2008 fiscal year, students at the University of Colorado-Boulder can expect their tuition to increase by a fair amount: 14.6 percent to be exact. While increasingly unaffordable higher education strikes a chord with many of us state school students, consider this: The tuition increase is taking effect despite state funding that’s more generous than ever.

Leaning across the table at a Sherwood Oaks Christian Church dinner, Lyle Haskin asks Gene Ruder, “Who’d you have?” The scene looks like any other jovial dinner party, but the answer to Haskin’s question refers to who Ruder had as an oncologist at the Midwest Proton Radiotherapy Institute, where both men are being treated for cancer.
