| Women’s Center demands policy overhaul, rebuke
While I'm not sure I agree with all of the reported recommendations (particularly the part about Zeta Psi members going before ExComm), this is certainly a more appropriate and useful response to the incident than the initial "This time we sue!" outcry followed by the outright insulting and counterproductive "You're either with us or you're for rape!" (and, to be fair, the opposite "You silly bitches need to lighten up!") rhetoric that followed it on these and other pages. However, I am willing to do for the Women's Center what they seem unwilling to do in regards to the Zeta Psi members involved: forgive them for their hot-headed moment of stupidity and inappropriateness and rightfully acknowledge the fact that they're taking substantive (if, in my personal opinion, somewhat misguided) steps to improve campus life for women.
USC guard shows serious dedication
Wooden record is impressive, however in college basketball you have more control over the players you are going to get. It's called recruiting. And if you have a winning program one year, then the following year more top prospects will want to play for you. That is why coaches like Krzyzewski get the top players year after year. In the NBA you have to worry about what will be available come draft time. And you have to worry about free agency. Not to mentions super inflated egos. Red Auerbach was a great coach in the technical sense, but he was an even better people manager. And he deserves to be recognized as the greatest ever.
— Sid, Vienna, Va. Hey Mike, My vote goes to John Wooden. His UCLA teams of the sixties and early seventies transformed college basketball into an art form.
Fire causes $100K of damage to PSL home
PORT ST. LUCIE Hurricane Wilma left Thomas Tomanek's home with about $120,000 in damages that took 18 months to repair. On Friday, an early morning blaze caused about $100,000 in damages to his residence in the 6700 block of Northwest Duke Avenue. Still, the local man seemed relatively upbeat hours after the 12:30 a.m. fire. "Nothing else to be," he said. "I can (lie) down in the driveway and cry if everybody wants me to, but it ain't going to do no good." He said his wife, Raquel Montero, and 6-week-old daughter, Gabrielle, were in the bedroom, when his 13-year-old son, Brandon, started beating on the door. Brandon had walked to the garage to get a broom and saw a "small fire in the fuse box," Tomanek said. They all got out while Tomanek, a nightclub manager in Miami, was at work.
Eighth graders get detentions for paying for lunch in pennies
Do you know how 8th graders act sometimes. It was prob a big joke for the kids to bring in a bunch of pennies and annoy the lunch ladies. Im not saying I didnt do similar stupid things at that age and im not saying what they did was horrible because it was not, but it was a prank and it was with intent to disrupt school lunch so they should get some type of punishment .
