Grey’s’ continues dramatic pulse
According to the brilliance of Facebook, “Grey’s Anatomy” is currently the second-most popular TV show at SDSU and in the entire Facebook network. Considering that and the fact that “Grey’s Anatomy” recently returned for season three, I wanted to spend a minute or two speculating on what the new season may hold.
Bar Bargains tap weeknight crowd
It’s common knowledge that less-than-rich students pounce on a cheap price or any opportunity to save money. So when Brookings bars set drink specials on weeknights to attract more people to their establishments on slow nights, it’s just regular business – or is it? Nearly every drinking establishment here in Brookings has a drink special occurring on every night of the week.
Squirrels and a map guide traveller to a Wal-Mart meal
The squirrel has finally sniffed a treasure in the middle of the field. Unmindful of me observing only a few yards away, not even signaling an expression of dim surprise, it took something from the ground. Whether or not it was food, I didn’t know. It meant so much for the squirrel, I could see how the nibbling went on for minutes.
Letter to the Editor: Campus protest
I believe that the evangelism students that visited campus were good for the school. They encouraged open debate on the topic of homosexuality. They caused many to remember their feelings in this matter, and have discussions about this important issue. There would not have been a large crowd surrounding them or a need to create posters against their views if they had no impact on anyone’s thinking, would there? One thing that many people will not mention is that what was printed on their signs was in no way false.
Letter to the Editor: Respect
Respect. Everyone is talking about it but no one is saying it – respect. Respect for other people, opinions, beliefs and ourselves. Sadly, the term love has lost many of its definitions and now seems to be either a religious or sexual term. The term respect, however, still remains universally understood.
From the Right: Activist Judges
Activist judges are continuously writing their own laws. The timeliest example I can give just happened on Sept. 26. Earlier this year a law was passed in Kentucky forbidding protests within 300 feet of a military funeral. A federal judge, who said the protesters are protected by free speech, overturned the law this year.
You don’t have to be a two-party zombie to take an honest stand
George Washington once warned the nation of the inherent dangers involved with becoming a two-party political system. Here we are, 200 years later, stewing in the mess we’ve created. The masses are compelled to blindly label themselves as a Democrat or a Republican.
From the Left: Activist Judges
The only time judicial activism is used as a term is when someone describes a court’s ruling that they do not agree with, especially if the Right does not agree with it. No one even knows a true definition of this “activism.” Some say that it is a court ruling on a controversy based purely upon its political agenda, or it’s when a court overrules a law of Congress as unconstitutional.

After four consecutive games on the road, the Jacks return to Coughlin-Alumni Stadium. On a two-game winning streak, the Jacks battle the University of Central Arkansas Bears. The Bears began their first season as a Division I-AA team well, compiling a 4-1 record.
