...sensible alcohol policy This year, dean Archie Epps allowed each student with a valid I.D. to consume no more than two beverages in an area fenced off from the rest of the festivities. While we understand his concern about binge drinking and underage consumption, the current system treats drinkers like lepers and needs to be revised. Either allow drinkers to roam free, or turn Springfest into a BYOB affair and free-up extra money to spend on entertainment...
...mail and not an official document. As Kuumba members point out, e-mail are incredibly easy to forge. They can also be casually forwarded and are disseminated much more loosely than official documents. If you cannot get the author to confirm an e-mail, does it constitute a valid source at all?

After all, it just isn't a "Happy Meal" if it's served with a scowl...
...supporters, predictably, attacked the study. Says Dolores Krieger, professor emerita of nursing at New York University, who founded TT in 1972: "It's a cute idea, but it's not valid. The way her subjects sat is foreign to TT, and our hands are moving, not stationary. You don't just walk into a room and perform--it's a whole process...
