Dear Gigolo Joe: I've had a roommate for a long time, and the one thing that keeps bothering me about him is the fridge. We really are at a loss for how to divide space in it. And a lot of times, I find my food gone or partially eaten because my roomie loves to eat (to say it nicely).

Officer Brandon Qualls is an example for all students on Ball State University's campus. He had a dream, and he went out and achieved it.
He didn't see his college days as the best times of his life, but instead used his passion to get a job at the University Police Department while in school.

The news that UK President Lee Todd is only taking part of his bonus is comforting, especially since he's asked all staff and faculty to forgo any raises at all.
Some of the employees getting hit the hardest are those UK says they need here for emergencies: food handlers, maintenance workers, lab workers, plumbers, electricians and grounds workers.

Much has been written and much has been said about the so-called 'development' planned for downtown Lexington. While the CentrePointe tower surely is something, I would hesitate to call it "development." Usually, at least in economics, development implies a qualitative improvement over existing conditions.

Just in case you missed it, UK President Lee Todd will be receiving a $145,500 bonus this year. Yes, that number is nearly half of his annual base salary of $304,010 - the man just increased his 2007-08 income by 50 percent. Is this a bit outrageous? Simply put, yes.

I am overwhelmingly disappointed by the lack of services provided by the West Virginia State Tax Department. I called the Tax Department at 3:30 p.m. on Friday June 20, 2008. I was greeted with an automated response that stated, "Thank you for calling the State Tax Department.

Buckminster Fuller's history of education demonstrates how the elite of the military-industrial-governmental complex keeps many of us in the dark. When we are in the dark, we can be more easily manipulated without being aware of it.
Fuller's history of specialization in schools and universities shows that the Great Pirates established a land-based home and made someone the Governor.

I've had the opportunity to talk to some college-graduated persons whom I know from my hometown and most of them have described college as a time for immature high school kids to receive university-level educations, to get involved in student organizations and have fun, and to become more mentally and emotionally mature in their lives.

It's funny how life can throw things at you when you least expect it. It's even funnier what you can learn from these experiences and how they change you.
Yes, life is funny like that, but oftentimes, it leaves us crying rather than laughing.

The city of Pittsburgh is punishing us. The humidity, the wind and the five-minute thunderstorms that continuously interrupt otherwise beautiful weather: punishment.
I came to this realization while I was transporting a pile of clothing, which was at the time marinating in a disturbingly gray soup of dirty rainwater.

I remember O-REG. It was my first introduction into the wonderful networking world of Facebook. It was awesome! All my college friends were on there, even ones I had never met, and we used it to coordinate interests and events. We could upload incriminating pictures, talk trash on each others' walls, and all kinds of college-age shenanigans.

It took 217 years, but the U.S. Supreme Court finally made a decision Thursday about what the ambiguous nightmare we call the Second Amendment means. Yes, owning a gun is an individual right. But, no, your right to pack heat isn't absolute, especially if you want to own an Uzi.

It's that time of the year again, the time when students receive their annual gift from the Board of Regents: a tuition hike. Given inflation, it's an unfortunate reality that tuition may need to be raised over time. But what is uncertain is if the rate of increase over the past few years has been justified.
