Associated Student Government (ASG), the Oxford City Council and the Office of Off-Campus Affairs can add one significant accomplishment to kick off the 2008-2009 school year-changing the penalty for leaving beer pong tables outside. The collaboration between the three parties led to a re-evaluation of the punishment for students who violated the restrictions on outdoor furniture.

Imagine, if you will, a humble town consisting of simply one street occupied on either side by what few small businesses make up the local economy.
We have all seen this image before, the lone saloon, the modest general store and rickety old bank holding the townsfolk's few dollars inside.

The 2007-08 academic year was an eventful one for Central Michigan University.
The CMU Promise, the university's guarantee to incoming freshmen that their tuition will stay fixed for five years, was nixed last spring. Construction on a new education building is underway, while another hotel in the Center for Applied Research and Technology is in the works.

I'm a geek for the Olympics.
I live, breathe, Tivo, and eat the Olympic spirit of competition, and of course, Michael Phelps.
However, despite my ongoing support and fervor of this momentous spectacle, this Olympics left a sour taste in my mouth. It wasn't because China won more gold medals than the U.

All I've been hearing since I returned to Campustown is a whole lot of complaining. Maybe the thought of being indoors all fall is spreading Seasonal Affective Disorder through the population like an airborne virus on "24," or perhaps we're all just uppity because of McCain or the economy or being physically inferior to our golden god Michael Phelps.

Bowling Green has been described as a lot of things; beautiful is not one of them.
Which is why we at The BG News commend the University and USG for focusing on the run-down and neglected campus buildings and landscape. What prospective student wouldn't want to attend BGSU for the weathered quality and dim lighting of University Hall, or the flat treeless expanses that border the University like a concrete moat?
Cleaning up campus doesn't only help make a lasting impression on prospective students, but also shows the University gives a damn about the thousands of people who work, eat, learn and live on campus every single day.

Months of guessing and hypothesizing finally came to an end Saturday when Barack Obama appeared with Joe Biden, a senator from Delaware, introducing him as his running mate. Ever since he locked up the nomination, the question has been out there about whom he would pick.

For five years the Mid-American Conference and its athletes have had a bit of a problem with following the rules. While the MAC is still striving to become a national presence on the athletic fields in the way the Big Ten or any other BCS conference is, it has done a fairly good job of keeping pace with the big guns in national scandals.

In four days, Barack Obama will give his acceptance speech at Invesco Field at Mile High Stadium in Denver. As supporters and protestors begin to arrive, Denver is bustling with Obama T-shirts, buttons, posters, and life-sized cardboard cutouts.
Perhaps John McCain was right about Obama; he is a celebrity.

As a reporter and an editor for The Daily Eastern News, I've dealt with countless complaints about the publication. An exuberant student even went so far as to call me a "liberal piece of crap."
Even though I may not be the person responsible for the mistake or the author of the article in question, I'm still an ambassador for the publication and have to handle any situation in a responsible way.

My summer was pretty low-key (that's a euphemism for "I sat around and didn't do anything that special"), and one of the more exciting aspects of that time was the arrival of what is one of the most commercially successful movies ever made: "The Dark Knight.

I wouldn't trade places with my little freshman sister for any sort of enticing award. Being a senior establishes an earned comfortableness and self-assuredness that three years of college afford. I do not envy my sister's tasks of making new friends, wrestling with questions that lead to choosing the right major or figuring out where I fit in on campus.

To some residents, the opening of a Hooters restaurant is emblematic of Mount Pleasant's moral decay.
This was a nice town, they argue, and opening a Hooters will, in the words of one resident, ruin it.
It's easy to lambaste Hooters because of its popular image: girls in short shorts and tight tops.

So far, the college life here at the U of I has been particularly chaotic. Everywhere you turn you can find a huge event, a sea of orange and blue. And just for showing up you'll be lucky enough to get a free Illinois T-shirt, a few new friends and a side of pizza .

My summer was off to a great start. There were days spent at the beach and nights spent at Milwaukee's many festivals. Time flew by without a hitch until the end of June when I had a rude awakening — school supplies were on the shelves.

Sometimes the best part of an experience also can be the most overwhelming. Ball State truly is a great school. I know it sounds like one of the pamphlets the administration puts out to get parents excited about sending us here, but it is true. Ball State will let you experience so many different things.

With the recent release of "Pineapple Express," and since the turn of the century there has been a spike in the number of these "simple-minded" comedies. They have attempted to be regarded as drug cinema, but they hardly make the list of the greatest drug movies of all time.

Congratulations Ball State. Once again the administrators have put students' best interests to mind.
The university prides itself on having top-notch professors with several years of experience in their fields, and one newly hired professor could not get much more experience than being the former mayor of Indianapolis.
