The Iraq Report: a fair and balanced perspective
By
As some of you may know, Gen. Petraeus and the Executive Branch recently released their 2007 Iraq progress report to Congress, and, as expected, it was doctored to appeal to the administration's exponentially failing image. All things considered- though only four of the 18 goals set for our invasion of the nation and recent surge of troops therein have been met- the report seemed optimistic, representing a 45 percent decrease in overall sectarian violence and civilian casualties.

As an alumnus of Colorado State University, I am absolutely appalled at the articles that you have written about the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity over the past few weeks. Where do you get the audacity to write about a fraternity who donated over $1,000 to sponsor a youth soccer team this past fall? In addition to participating in CSUnity on an annual basis, they also help to sponsor the Fort Collins Teen Splash Dance.
Freeganism-beyond the hype of green movement
By
Freeganism is an emerging subculture that advocates opting out of the consumer-driven, "throw-away" society by using and eating its waste. In the United States, we throw away a ton of stuff, but not all of it is grade-A trash. A lot of what we dump is useable and is trashed for aesthetic reasons, technological upgrades, obsoleteness, a change in taste or favorite color, or just to make room for our newest batch of stuff.

In France, the international prototype for the kilogram, a 118-year-old cylinder safely locked up just outside Paris, is curiously losing weight. The kilo has apparently lost 50 micrograms, about the weight of a fingerprint, and has left an inconsistent metric constant for scientists.

PIKEs are like crickets: loud, annoying, and they never shut up. To the guy who left his Chase debit card in the 1st National ATM in the LSC on Wednesday, I had it cancelled and destroyed it. Since when did beards become cute? I have a message for all you "cute guys with beards".
