I read this comment and in my head imagined you slipping on some shades after posting it. how could I have ever assumed otherwise*~johnny northside~*, when even dvd pirates don't scare you?
They were not affected and never will be. Education has it's own set of laws and guidelines within the government that control the flow of money.

Less parking? How can that possibly be good for students in any way? This smells funny. Parking's bad enough, not only for Dinkytown residents, but commuter students as well.
As a longtime resident of this neighborhood and a loyal patron of the Oak Street Cinema, I'm so disappointed that it will be torn down. It's a local tragedy of the first order. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like enough University students care about independent cinema to come together to save it. Hell, they can't even get their asses over there just to watch a movie. I'm glad the development is delayed, but it's surely inevitable with the new stadium opening soon. I suppose it's impossible to save it, but I suggest that everyone drop by and see a film sometime before it closes down. It'll be a sad day when it does.
I have done a lot of research about the VISTA program. I have gone to program websites and seen a lot of excellent work. I just graduated with my Bachelor's degree from the University of South Florida and could certainly choose to work instead of volunteer. If I was working, I most certainly would not accept $210/week before taxes in payment--my skill set is more valuable than that. Instead of working, I feel that now is the time to make a commitment to my community. Between the stipend and the education award, this is still waaaay less than I would make in a job that my degree has prepared me for. I have talked to a lot of VISTAs and it seems that you, "alumni" have made a lot of blanket statements based on your personal experience that are incorrect or unfair to the many individuals that work hard and make large financial and time sacrfices to make changes in the community.
Also, I don't think people sign up for the program to slack off. I am prepared to work a lot harder for less and I have many friends in the program that do the same.
Your opinion is an unfortunate blight beneath such an enlightening and important article.
Nothing was proved or disproved here. That was merely a request for a second person to shut up. The internet is not for civil dialogue. The internet is for porn.
You just proved their point you dolt.
Michael went through an awful lot of hard times, which he didn't deserve to go through. Many of his fans remained faithful, despite the rumours. It's a tragic death, and lets hope he's well and happy somewhere...
Goodbye Michael Jackson x
You, too.
When Bush was in office, did it aggravate you when people would post wild accusations about him with absolutely no substance behind it? How intelligent did those people sound to you? How intelligent do you think you sound now?
If you want to rag on a politician, then please actually say something. Otherwise, please shut up.
I didn't know the U succumbed to peer pressure so easily. Hey U of M - want to try some weed? EVERYBODY's doin' it...
are being paid less than President Bruininks...
Are we near the top of the BigTen in performance?
Ah another one of those wing-nut, Obama bashing, fiscal conservatives enters the fray.
Welcome to Obamaland!! This is what we get now that Obama is in office. People who aren't so well-off blasting those that are. Can any of you honestly say that if you were in Bruininks position that you wouldn't want to be paid/compensated as much as he is now? The U, with more then 65,000 students systemwide, is one of the nation's largest universities. The days of colleges and universities being just places of higher learning and not being profit-driven are long gone. Colleges and universities are businesses. Get used to it, people.
I have no problem with Pres. Bruininks making $750K, after compensation, as he's worked his entire life to get to this point. I'd gladly pay Pres. Bruininks his $750K over Obama's $400K salary anyday.
You left 3M for a dishwasher job at the U? Did you work the 3M cafeteria or something?
That's so baby-boomer of you.
Dudes, you do newspeak better than Orwell ever would've imagined. Satan/god/your mom, am I glad I live in Europe.
The lyrics refer to the New York working-class immigrant masculine ethos, in which wage-earners take pride at working long hours to afford the outwards signs of having "made it" in America.

Waterosity: Go Green with a Splash in an innovative way to create awareness on water conservation. Water shortage is a very real issue not just in numerous parts of the world but in places like SoCal in the USA too.
There are numerous inexpensive and easy things people who are environmentally conscious can do, so as to conserve water. Some of these are washing only full dish loads of water, directing grey water from the kitchen and bathroom to the garden, washing your car with a bucket of water instead of the hose, using a low flow shower head etc.

god dammit Texas just secede already...
Our provost would have you believe that the students here are getting ever so much better based on SAT/ACT scores, for example. No doubt these scores are lower, on the average, at our mythical West Overshoe.
Better faculty? Ah, that's a good question. Pedigree maybe? Or the amount of grants they bring in? At the U, I'd concede, the quality of teaching does not seem to count for as much as it might in, say, West Overshoe.
This is such a shame some of you who are being so mean. yall dont know what he went through and what he was going through and yet some of yall have the nerve to say stupid shit about somebody dying and about somebody you dont even know.And all of you sayin the stuff probably listen to his music more than the people who arent saying anything.Micheal Jackson is a legend and a idol and even though he had his moments and some of the things he did were not the best you dont have the right to judge him about that.And honestly you shouldnt be looking at his downfalls look at all his acomplishments and all the things he has achieved and if you aint got nothing nice to put on this website under his picture then just dont say anything at all. I LOVE MICHAEL JACKSON!!!!!!!!!!! R.I.P!!!
The U's standards aren't especially high for students and I've been shocked by the inconsistency of the instruction here. That's why I asked how you define "better." You don't have to be condescending.
Please don't be a fat head... The name implies an institution with significantly lower standards for faculty and students...
I can't believe you've written this.
Get a clue.
