When I first came to UMass from the active-duty Navy in January of 2007, I was immediately struck by the relatively-poor resources on campus for veterans. From the inept transfer "orientation," to the endless arguments with financial aid over my veteran status, to the cold treatment by the housing assignments office, my transition from the military to the UMass community was anything but smooth.

The theory of evolution is arguably the most misunderstood theory in all of science. In a recent poll conducted by USA Today, it was found that almost half of Americans (47%) believe that evolution is either definitely or probably not true. But almost all scientists (95%) believe the theory to be either definitely or most likely true.

A few months ago, Mike Gravel was just another politician vying for the endorsement of the Democratic Party in the 2008 presidential election.
You've probably never heard of him, but those who have know him to be a man of interesting politics. Arguably, those politics got a lot more interesting on March 25 when, after suffering defeat in the primaries, the former Alaskan senator changed his tune.

The offices of the editorial board of The Middlebury Campus are located in the basement of Hepburn Hall. These are shabby rooms, prone to leaks in wet weather. The pipes rattle and clatter in the winter. After a night spent putting together the newspaper, the office is invariably a mess, strewn with half-eaten dinners, discarded design mock-ups and elusive red pens.

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?!
Well, no… not really, actually.
Call me a drama geek, hippie, bimbo, or whatever you like (although I really don't think any of those names apply to me), but I kind of always liked the idea of Castleton not needing a football team to define itself.

I have noticed that The News rarely features articles about Greek Life here at Northeastern. The only articles that seem to focus on fraternities and sororities are published when they get in trouble with the law or the university, or when they sponsor an event.

Five years ago, when Northeastern's janitors first came to the Progressive Student Alliance (PSA), they wanted help in securing contract improvements that included higher wages, more efficient equipment and education about where to air grievances like supervisor abuse.

Ducks can't read. And a lot of college students don't bother to either. When walking across campus with friends, searching for the perfect place for a game of ultimate frisbee, soccer or muggle quidditch, little yellow signs are hardly on our radar. But perhaps they should be.

As a college graduate, the possibilities are endless for you - but it is time to start asking yourself those big life questions. What will you do to make this life worthwhile? We all reach the point where we realize we must focus on something bigger than ourselves.

Well, this is it - graduation. Given the economy, I can look forward to getting no jobs with my UConn degree. But at least my alma mater taught me to drink. Cheers, UConn.
You know that statistic they teach you on orientation where one of the people sitting next to you won't graduate? It's true, just ask my buddy who sat to my right.
