Immorality evident from Wildcat's front page

I am utterly disgusted and outraged by this paper's display of public sexuality on the front page of Monday's Wildcat! There should be some borderline when it comes to how far this school is going to let the students promote sexuality and drunkenness. It's bad enough to hear about kids going to Mexico so they can get in trouble and drunk since they can't destroy themselves legally here in the States. I thought seeing the terrible porn ads inside the paper was the worst it could get (whereas porn is not allowed to be seen on the computers in the library ... double standard, don't you think?). But, to see on display two women in a position as if they are doing something horrifically provocative and having two other boys outside of them looked like a giant orgy to me! And for you students who are going to tell me to lighten up, gain some maturity and some class; I'm sure your bosses in the business world won't be too happy if they see you doing that while you are representing their company. I felt like looking at the picture left nothing to the imagination. If this is supposed to be an example of our student class, then I have never been more embarrassed or ashamed of being a part of the UA. Considering its annual cross-dressing displays, not to mention fraternity parties and half-naked women walking around, this school should change its name to the University of Sexual Expression and Drunkenness. Have our papers and campuses lost all morality and modesty? I think that question has already been answered. I'm glad Bush isn't coming specifically for the reason that this school's standards are beginning to be an embarrassment to our country. Too bad he won't be here to teach those students a few good manners. By the way, I doubt there would be anything on the front page about students spending their spring break having a good time with Mickey or doing a ministry project for their church. I guess moral and physical destruction are more appealing! [Read article]

Effective marketing is perhaps the most important tool for success in a highly competitive climate, and few are as competitive as the United States in an election year.

The array of advertisements that have already begun to flood network and cable channels from candidates and interest groups that have an obvious candidate bias are, for the most part, taking a tone that pundits, politicians and - as poll numbers and the media suggest - the public think are "negative."

This week, students grudgingly filed back into classrooms and dorms after experiencing a week of academic bliss: spring break. Since the unofficial holiday is the undisputed favorite of college students across the country, we couldn't think of anything to ask our columnists but: "So, what did you do over spring break?"

I ate a giant redwood!

Just kidding; Sequoia National Park says you're not even allowed to touch the redwoods because their root structures can't handle people treading over them, despite their huge size. That didn't stop me from getting several photographs of me gnawing on redwood bark and digging up a nest of baby rabbits nestled between the roots. I put them back, though, because the ranger told us we weren't going anywhere until I did. [Read article]
