ONE OF the downsides to receiving an education at the university level is that students often become blinded to some of the less esoteric lessons they should be learning. The amount of information crammed into our minds during class periods spent discussing Sophocles or Pauli gives us the impression that the act of absorbing this staggering flow of data is the essence of learning.

DOCTORS today face an interesting problem in that the very success of their profession makes their job harder. Medical science has made several astonishing leaps in recent years, from the creation of new imaging and surgical techniques to the generation of novel drugs and therapies for diseases as diverse as cancer and hypertension. Ironically, though, the existence of these new treatments frequently comes back to haunt those who try to keep their patients healthy. People seem to think that the existence or potential for new miracle cures releases them from any obligation to take preventative steps to ensure their health. The effects of this mindset can be devastating.

THE RETURN of students, while in many ways pleasant, always brings with it something people in Charlottesville dread. Just one week into the semester, traffic around the University has entered its perennially snarled state. Congestion has been a way of life around U.Va., but that doesn't have to be the case.

WELL, SUMMER'S almost over, and once again the world has failed to destroy itself. I suppose it's been a run of good luck. The world didn't destroy itself last summer either.

STANLEY KUBRICK'S final masterpiece, "Eyes Wide Shut," arrived at a time eerily coincident with a new wave of concern over movie content and how it should be handled. While I went to the theater in Richmond to see it last weekend, the chain's national administration was busying itself implementing a new pledge to more strictly check the ID's of people entering movies rated "R" and "NC-17." Many groups are pressuring Hollywood studios to tone down the violence level in movies, or at least to show more realistic consequences. But America's general mindset towards movie content and how it should be handled remains very difficult to understand.

OUR NATION'S capital recently has been deep in a debate on the issue of health care. Only a few days ago, the Senate voted on a package of health-care reforms, a so-called "Patient's Bill of Rights." Rather than agree to any form of compromise, Senate Republicans decided to push their own version of the bill. In an essentially party-line vote (two Republicans defected), they succeeded in pressing their end of the debate. Democrats predictably lamented the event as a loss for all Americans. While that is not quite true, the way this bill, and indeed the entire issue of health care, has been handled stands out as a particularly unfortunate failure of American legislators in recent years.

When you think of one issue that desperately requires this nation's immediate attention, one thing that cries for all of us to unite in passing a constitutional amendment about, what comes to mind? Gay rights? Abortion? Patient's medical rights? How about flag burning? Should we pass an amendment that would prevent people from burning the flag of the United States?

I GUESS we're supposed to feel really stupid right about now. With Alexander "Sandy" Kory's alleged greed exposed, we're supposed to fall all over ourselves weeping bitter tears of shame over the agony through which we put Richard Smith, Bradley Kintz and Harrison Kerr Tigrett.

WE COULD immediately tell that the letter was a clever deception. I had my suspicions the moment my roommate pulled the envelope from the mailbox and said, "It's from Steve Forbes!"
