Colaborative
efforts for homeland security
The creation
of the new cabinet level office of Homeland Security

SA
President talks about RIsing Junior
I’m
writing this in response to the “Our Voice” column on
the Rising Junior Exam (Proficiency Exam) in the November
14, 2001 issue of The Exponent. First
of all, I want to say that I am not in favor of the
Rising Junior Exam. I thought I would give a little
insight on this issue since I deal with it at least
once a week. (Read full article)

This
is our house
Before
I begin to discuss the race for our vacant seat in Congress,
I need to clarify some points Aaron took exception to
in the last issue of The Exponent. The statistics I used
in my previous article may come from a conservative source,
but they do not just single out one part. The top 30 list
I quoted from includes both Democrats and Republicans.

Royal
Rumble
Before I begin
my fascinating discussion about next year's U.S. House
race, I need to discuss something that has been bugging
me for awhile now: baseball contraction. I have to admit
that I am open to that idea, but not to the Minnesota
Twins. The problems of Major League baseball will not
be solved by contracting the Minnesota Twins.

Our
Voice - Response to Amanda Renelt
Renelt’s argument, in the Nov. 14 Exponent that academic
emphasis will benefit NSU is completely valid. NSU needs
to become more competitive in recruiting prospective
students. That can be done by emphasizing and developing
current academic programs and organizations. (Read

If these walls
could talk...
When asked
to write a regular column, my first thought was, “I
can write about anything.” The next was, “Another deadline
to miss.” Then it was classic writers’ block. I had
no direction, zero ideas and a deadline fast approaching.
Instinct said to come up with excuses enough to not
get this in before the weekend (which I didn’t). After
delaying, I decided time would be better spent dreaming
up ideas... (Read

Forgo own needs
for others wants
There
comes a time in our life when we have to forgo our needs
for other people's wants. It is that time of the year
when we must start to focus on others rather than ourselves,

influence you to do some good for others this holiday
season. So please read on and see how you can help shape
other's lives for the better.

Holidays are
a special time
The time
is here for finishing last minute papers, and cramming
for finals. As the semester winds down, the thought
of a break lingers in the back of many minds. I find
myself growing more and more anxious as each day passes
to escape from the hectic schedule of everyday life,
to the laid back pace of Christmas vacation. (Read

Steak
& Buffett: so much meat, so little time
Steak
& Buffet is one of Aberdeen's best-known restaurants.
Being located on 6th Avenue near RG's and K-Mart helps,
but its fame comes mostly from the unusual niche it
has staked (or steaked?) out for itself. See, this is
an all-you-can-eat steak place. I had no idea that such
a critter even existed before moving here, but clearly
it has carved out a place in the public imagination.
This recognition has generated a number of Steak & Buffet
nicknames, like "Steak & Stuff," "Beef and Barf," and
my favorite, "Roast and Run." (Read
