<p class="byline">By Irene Thirlwall</p>
<p>Are you graduating
this May? Why does it take so long? That is the question. Spring
break is next week and when
we come back we will only have about five weeks until graduation.
Many seniors who have applied for graduation (including myself) have
not
heard anything yet. Why? Because our
school’s evaluation process is still being handled like we
were back in the day of the dinosaur. No computers, no technology. <a href="stoneage.jsp"><b>More>></b></a></p>

<p class="storyText">If you’re reading this, it could only mean
one of three things—you came to school. That is unless you’re
reading this on The Collegian’s Web site. I’d like to
personally thank all six of you by the way. If you’re reading
this, it also means you found the best parking spot since freshman
year when you accidentally
came to school on dead days. It means your wait in the Taco Bell
line downstairs at the USU was short enough to actually call it “fast
food” without having a guilty conscience.<a href="simplertext.jsp"><b>More>></b></a></p>

<p class="storyText"><strong>Japanese food culture should recognize
global concerns</strong></p>
<p>In response to the story “Honor culture and let them eat whale” by
Yoshie Okabe (March 29), I must admit that I am truly saddened. Whales
do not fight back, they are harmless and ignorance should not be
the cause of their demise. If they were meant to be eaten,
they would be smaller and easier to catch.<a href="#"><b>More>></b> </a></p>
