A bad vegetarian

By Timothy Ellison • Nov 16, 2007

I ORDERED THE NO. 3 platter at The Old Spaghetti Factory last Friday and the waitress responded with a wry smile, “The meat lover’s platter, sure.â€Â What did she say? A meat lover? Me? It felt dirty, especially since my girlfriend was sitting right next to me.

Fat chance

By Benjamin Baxter • Nov 14, 2007

I'M FAT. Local news stations like reminding me. I'm not alone, either. News of every flavor reminds me that it's an epidemic. That means you have it, too, or you will.

The One-Finger Salute

By Staff Reports • Nov 14, 2007

Thumbs up to YouTube for letting us watch Fresno State linebacker Marcus Riley knock the snot out of Hawaii quarterback Colt Brennan — again and again and again. Brennan was one touchdown away from breaking the all-time NCAA record for touchdown passes, a record Riley ultimately may have stifled, as Brennan was forced to leave the game after the hit. It may be a small victory for the team, but we’ll take what we can get, especially considering the loss the team suffered on Saturday.

By Julius Dion Bailey, Ph. D. • Nov 14, 2007

MANY ACROSS AMERICA are singing the catchy pop tune "I Got it From My Momma" from Black Eyed Peas member Will.I.Am. As inviting as this song may be to our party consciousness, we can discern quite more from this factually-based lyric.

Oh, G.E.!

By Benjamin Baxter • Nov 7, 2007

Students today don̢۪t seem to realize what being a student means. To wit: you complain about general education. I know I did. Given how many of us hate it so, it̢۪s rare that a comrade tries to set us straight.

Fit to lead?

By Timothy Ellison • Nov 5, 2007

RIGHT NOW MY roommates are watching “Braveheart.â€Â Meanwhile, I’m in my room reading stories about King Arthur in Tennyson’s “Idylls of the Kingâ€Â (for a class, I swear). Somewhere in this great country of ours, a group of people is having a discussion about who our next president should be. What do these three things have in common?

The One-Finger Salute

By Staff Reports • Nov 5, 2007

Thumbs up to the Bulldogs for their victory over the Utah State Aggies. We̢۪re glad the ̢۪Dogs are winning games they̢۪re supposed to win, especially after the hard loss the team suffered to the Boise State Broncos last weekend. We hope this win helps prepare the team for a tough game next weekend against the Hawaii Warriors.
