I'm worried, people. Gas is at $4 a gallon. Our government is acting like Daniel Day-Lewis when it comes to oil. We need a solution, and we need it quickly. We're the United States, for crying out loud! How dare we pay the same price for oil that other countries have been paying for years? When will some brave, courageous and uncomfortably attractive individual come along with the answer?
That time is now.

It is very easy to get lost in the shuffle at a large, metropolitan university like St. John's, especially if this is a person's first year in college. To make sure that this does not happen to the fresh-faced and bushy-tailed freshmen that are still on the high of senior prom and graduation, each one is assigned a freshman advisor from the well-known Freshman Center located in St.

Students here at St. John's have been complaining about the lack of campus life for the past few years. Residents say that the campus dies each weekend, forcing them to go elsewhere to have some fun on days off.

I lost access to my Facebook account for five days recently, and I thought it might be the end of the world. What would I do after checking my Gmail account? I was at a loss. But an amazing thing happened: absolutely nothing.

Boycotting the U. of Perelman
To the Editor:
The renaming of Logan Hall to Claudia Cohen Hall is really an outrage because it was done without forethought. Perelman donates his money and expects something named after him or a member of his family.
