Students at Northern Illinois University are continuing to move forward, but the WC feels Gov. Rod Blagojevich's $40 million plans are a step in the wrong direction. (5) comments
The other day I did an experiment - I separated the shirts in my closet by color. That may sound a little obsessive-compulsive, but it made me realize something about myself and everyone else. I discovered most of my shirts are one or two colors and only a very miniscule portion is dedicated to other pigments. That wasn't the only peculiarity I noticed. Upon broader investigation, I realized I usually wear my hair the same way, keep the same rigid schedule from week to week and in general don't stray from the norm of my life. (1) comment
It is an argued fact that after four seconds of any article, the reader will decide to keep reading or look elsewhere. This is the "four second rule" of journalism, and as a result, three things can be concluded. (2) comments
I was appalled and disappointed by the behavior of my fellow Western Illinois University students on Saturday, February 24th. I was at the Ritz around seven or so having a couple drinks with friends when about one hundred kids in green shirts on a bar crawl trampled through the door. They immediately demanded drinks from the lone bartender and when she could not serve them as quickly as they would have liked; they began to call her offensive names and throw beer bottles across the bar. They ruined both pool tables by pouring alcohol all over them. A fight broke out between two young men in green and the bouncer ended up getting punched in the face. (35) comments
