MY FRIEND tells me I am a hopeless romantic. She claims that love is not an indescribable spiritual connection between two people, but rather a matter of mere compatibility. I should find someone who treats me well and has similar career aspirations. Wanting anything more, she says, is a naive desire I formed after reading "Romeo and Juliet" one too many times.

THE DEBATES over President Bush's tax plan have centered on the role that it will have in stopping an impending recession that many economists are predicting on the horizon.

THERE is a battle occurring inside each one of us. Our animalistic side is fighting our rational side. We desire to smoke marijuana, but we know it destroys our body. We desire to eat a gallon of ice cream, but we know it makes us nauseous. We desire to have sex, but we know it increases our chance of catching a sexually transmitted disease.

YOU ARE enjoying a lazy afternoon watching television when you start to feel kind of hot. Even though it is mid November, you chalk it up to El Nino and return your attention to "The Real World" marathon. Suddenly, the fire alarm begins to beep. You sigh, figuring it is a drill, and remove your gaze from the television. Flames are descending quickly down the stairs. You set off on a mad dash for the door, but then remember your security blanket is upstairs. You stop, panicked. You have two options: abandon the blanket or face the fiery inferno.

SOME OF the best things in life reside beneath the surface. Rose quartz is enclosed by metamorphic rock. Stalagmites hang from the ground we walk upon. Unbroken shells lie beneath the beach.

THE STAKES were high: 85 minutes, six and a half weeks of material, 50 percent of the course grade. But I was calm. I had understood all the problem sets, and studied the night before. No sweat, I thought, as the midterms were handed out.

ONE WOULD think Cornel West's lecture "Race Matters" would have included a substantive discussion of racial problems and solutions. But it did not. Empty rhetoric and misleading generalizations constituted his entire speech this past Friday at Old Cabell Hall.
