THIS YEAR, students have once again proposed to eliminate the single sanction for honor offenses.
CAMPING out, regardless of what people may think, has not always been the method for obtaining entry into men's basketball games.
IF I were an identity thief, I would not have to lift a finger to target my next victim. Last Wednesday, I sat beside a woman at a computer terminal at the library who was on the phone regarding an ISIS problem, walked past my roommate who was ordering from Dominos and came upon a list of individuals who did not bring their IDs outside the Newcomb Dining room.
CANNIBALISM. It's a joke --something that our "developed" civilization did away with, something that appears only in horror movies or tales of barbaric civilizations lurking in jungles.
SEXUAL EDUCATION at the University does not come from judgmental teachers, outdated videos starring animated sperm or a strict policy of textbook-only, human anatomy study.

SUFFERING from allegations of a nuclear program and involvement in the Iraqi insurgency, Iran has transformed itself into the prime nuisance of the United States and the international community.
