Blind date:
Like for most blind dates, I was set up by one of my very dear friends. And yes, I will still call her a dear friend. This hasn’t been the first blind date she has set me up on, but I hope it’s the last. I appreciate her thoughtfulness. I think she never wants me to be that 76-year-old maid at the end of Elm Street living in a brick house with four cats, three dogs, two fish and a partridge in a pear tree.
Columnist apologizes for errors
Editor’s Note: This is in response to Zach Conrad’s column on Nov. 6, 2001 titled, “Christianity and Islam: can both religions be right?” “He is on the path of life who heeds instruction, But he who ignores reproof goes astray.” -Proverbs 10:17 After further research, I found I had misquoted Mohammed saying, “To make others believe in Allah and his Apostles and to participate in a jihad (holy war)” as a response to what would be the best deed of a Muslim, next to believing in Allah.
Tis the season for bad decorations
I get along quite well with my roommates. They put up with all my faults, shortcomings, and flaws; in short, they are swell people. They are even so swell they do not make fun of me for my hideous music (can you say Andy Williams?). I write this not because you need all of this information, but because in a roundabout way, it is my way of apologizing for what I am about to say.
Devotion to SDSU’s volleyball women leads to exciting road trip
Myself and three other men, spurred to action by a misguided sense of adventure and school spirit, hopped in a car at 12:30 a.m. last Saturday morning. Our destination: an obscure little town, somewhere in Michigan where the SDSU volleyball team had advanced to the Division II national championship match.
Play lets audience see sounds of season
Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the voices of a radio show? Even though the upcoming theater performance of “The 1940′s Radio Hour” takes place almost 60 years ago, audience members will get a peek into the action and see themes that exist today.
Even today, do guys pay?
When it comes to dating, chivalry is not dead. At least not here in Middle America. Twenty-five randomly chosen SDSU dorm-dwellers (13 men and 12 women) were asked the question “Who should pay on a first date?” All but one either thought the man should pay or the check should be split.
American Outlaws’ tells of Jesse James, ‘A Christmas Story’ teaches important lessons
“American Outlaws” The West has never looked so good. Les Mayfield directs a seductive tale of heroism and vengeance in “American Outlaws.” The war has ended and the young cowboy heroes return home to start living their lives again. Things barely have a chance to get back to normal when the railroad company swoops in and tries to buy up their land.
Consistent routine vital to stress management
With finals week approaching, some students are finding themselves unprepared for the grade-making or grade-breaking exams. Early studying and reviewing for finals is suggested by teachers and students. “A review process is critical. You can’t just wait until that week [before finals] and assume you will do well,” Academic Development Specialist Mark Binkley said.
Power outage leaves campus in the dark
When last week’s blizzard dumped 10 to 16 inches of snow on the Brookings area, more havoc was created than just a day and a half of classes cancelled. Snow packing into sophisticated electrical equipment shut down power to most of the university Wednesday night, causing more missed classes, not to mention a shortage of light and heat.
Religious variety graces campus
SDSU is a religiously diverse campus. Exactly how diverse, however, is anyone’s guess. Ann Marie Bahr, professor of religion and philosophy, said many faiths don’t have their own campus organization. “There are a whole set of faiths represented that are not big enough [for an organization on campus],” she said.
