Intensity exemplifies Earnhardt spirit

ASIDE from the hundreds of other ways in which people may be divided into two camps, such as cat people and non-cat people, Yankee fans and human beings, and so forth, the Western world is comprised of NASCAR fans and non-NASCAR fans.

Keep SAT alive in admissions

I REALLY didn't enjoy taking the SATs. I scored well, but I hated all the drills to prepare, hated getting up early for it and hated those people who wanted to compare scores when we got them back.

Going beyond Grounds for good stories

Shifting focus to student concerns

Shift quotas for quality leaders

ONCE AGAIN, we've reached the point in the school year when prospective candidates for different positions of student leadership begin to besiege students across Grounds, armed with petitions and pages of signatures. This spring's election season has the distinction of being one of the most highly anticipated in years, as the Honor Committee has put several constitutional changes on the ballot that are guaranteed to stir up controversy. In the College of Arts and Sciences, it's a time of fierce campaigning between candidates for the Honor Committee, the Judiciary Committee and Student Council. In smaller schools of the University, however, the atmosphere is a bit different.
