'Whip it' in the bud

By Alyson Brodsy and JP Benitez · Sunday, Aug. 8,2004 9:16 p.m.

Some people say things about gift horses and whether or not you should look at their teeth. Having never received my full Future Farmers of America membership, I can't say I ever was able to make heads or tails of that wisdom. For lack of a deep historical investigation of the phrase, I suppose it translates loosely as: Don't complain about free things.

Professor speaks on overspending, high tuition rates

By Alyson Brodsy · Sunday, Aug. 8,2004 9:14 p.m.

When officials at U.S. colleges hike tuition, they say the extra revenue is being used to fund academic programs.

New trend: abortion clothes

By Alyson Brodsy and Jonathan Blanks · Sunday, Aug. 8,2004 9:13 p.m.

Perhaps Nathaniel Hawthorne's Hester Prynne should have marketed her scarlet "A" as a political statement for all women like her. Plannedparenthood.org seems to think it is a good idea. According an article in the Chicago Tribune last Wednesday, Planned Parenthood began selling T-shirts last month that read: "I had an abortion." To me, the use and sale of this shirt illustrates the "pro-abortion" message that anti-abortion advocates often accuse abortion-rights proponents of using -- instead of the latter's preferred message of "choice."

Tragic history makes interesting read

By Britany Ausmus and Brittany Ausmus · Sunday, Aug. 8,2004 9:07 p.m.

When the subject of concentration camps is discussed, it is usually in the context of the Nazi atrocities of World War II. The same applies for the mass persecution of ethnic groups, secret police terrorizing the population and senseless deaths of millions of people at the hands of the government. While the Third Reich was responsible for these atrocities, so too was the Soviet government. This oft-forgotten legacy of the U.S.S.R. has, for the first time by a Western writer, been explored in depth.

In the ongoing procession of events that lead me to believe I don't know what the hell is going on anymore, VH1 has successfully wrapped the most recently completed decade in a shroud of accelerated nostalgia.

Short, but not too sweet

By Amy Hamblen · Thursday, Aug. 5,2004 12 a.m.

I hate punk that's positive. Which is good in this case, because there's hardly anything uplifting on this album at all.
