While there have been many skeptics in the last couple of years about the validity of global warming, it has become a generally accepted fact - at least on Smith Campus - that carbon emissions and fossil fuels have disrupted the natural progression of weather and have led to the phenomena we call global warming.

Over the past three years, I, like any other self-respecting UConn undergrad, have grown to hate the West Virginia Mountaineers.
Whether it was the 66-21 drubbing the UConn football team received in Morgantown the year they were crowned Co-Big East champions or Joe Alexander and the Mountaineers knocking the Huskies out in the 2008 Big East basketball tournament, I developed a deep and undying hatred for everything West Virginian.

Senator Joseph I. Lieberman (DI-CT) refused to meet with demonstrators staging an impromptu sit-in at his office on Capitol Hill Thursday that ended with the arrest of nine individuals, one of whom was a UConn student.
"When Lieberman came out against the [health care] bill, we thought 'okay it's time to step it up,'" said Jason Ortiz, a 6th-semester communications major and president of the UConn ACLU.

Bridgewater State College does not allow postings which advocate the use of alcohol or illegal substances. This is a viewpoint biased policy, and it seems to me that it is unconstitutional for that reason. Even if it is not unconstitutional, I will argue that it should be removed.

Picture this: you are on an airplane preparing for takeoff with your two-year-old son - who won't stop screaming. It could be because he's scared of the loud noises the engines are making, he's hungry or he would just rather walk up and down the aisle than be strapped into a seat against his will.

What seemed like the answer to all music enthusiasts' prayers, Pandora Internet radio provided a world where streaming songs was endless and free. But as of July 2009, restrictions were set on free Pandora accounts that many listeners today fail to recognize exist.

Book and movie themed T-shirts are nothing new. Publishers and Hot Topic stores have been selling them for years. But the Twilight apparel craze has gone far beyond the occasional "Team Edward" or "Team Jacob" sweater and crossed into a full-on creepy cultural obsession.

The Sophian has mixed feelings about Otelia Cromwell Day. We think it is important as a memorial and a symbol but think that, as an event, it has been mismanaged. The day seems to have self-congratulatory motives, while the events simply "preach to the choir" - the people who are interested in diversity and who support diversity causes on campus are the only ones who show up, other than those required to attend for a class.

Although you'll never stumble upon it by accident, SooRa Restaurant has been serving a steady base of customers who have found their way to the Roundhouse Plaza.
Quite frankly, I'm not so sure why. The service is barely existant, there's an odd smell hanging around, the staff doesn't appear all that perky, and most importantly, the food is as memorable as Paris Hilton's credibility.

To the editor of the Tripod: He must be far gone in idle speculation who believes - with the infatuated cadre of scribblers on the Tripod editorial board - that an arduous course of study taught by a professor justly famed for his weeklong lecture on the "bills of credit" clause of the Constitution, and his affecting tribute (extending a fortnight or more) to the provision - less elegant than serviceable - guaranteeing uniformity in customs duties imposed by Congress and collectible in the port cities of the Confederacy - I had begun to say, one must be lost in idle dreams to believe that factors at once anomalous and adventitious (e---------le b--------hood!!) must be invoked to explain the enormous enrollments which the class customarily draws - enrollments which continue to increase despite the surtax which all students in "The Formative Years" are now required to pay (the sum was $184 during the Spring semester of 2008).

Paris's bicycle rental system, Vélib', which was imposed to inspire environmental awareness, is now facing the harsh reality of vandalism and corruption. Vélib' bicycles are primarily used by Parisians commuting around the city. One simply needs to swipe a credit card at an electric docking station to receive a bicycle for a specified amount of time.
