Don’t vote for me
Ever see “Brewster’s Millions” with Richard Pryor and John Candy? Go rent it now. I’d feel better about our political system if someone decided to imitate Pryor’s mayoral campaign in this film.

A limerick for Idaho

There once was an Idaho Board
who fancied itself quite the lord.
It did as it pleased
as it cut student fees
till no programming we could afford.
— Savannah


Better or worse?
I caught the flu, I think. My joints feel like they have sand in them, I have the chills and the sweats, stiffness in my back, and a grocery list of other symptoms. I though I was getting better until Savannah told me that the symptom of meningitis are joint paint, stiffness and fever. I suddenly feel I am running a temperature. If we don’t put out a paper on Monday we all might have caught my meningitis.

Saturday night’s alright
I am so going to see Sir Elton John on Saturday, and I only have to drive to Pullman to do it. Is there some form of higher being or energy regulating this lost little world?
For perhaps the first time in my life, methinks yes, and it can hold this tiny dancer closer whenever it likes.

Get to it
I’ve received a lot of great instruction in UI classrooms over the last four years, but the single most important element of my education has been internships. I’ve been lucky enough to work at The Argonaut and the Writing Center during school, and summer internships have been a great way to travel and build relationships with real-world employers. It’s never too early or too late in your college career to look into acquiring work experience. Some great resources to look into are Monster.com, the Career and Professional Planning Office, and faculty and administrators within your area of study.

Pssst, it’s a secret

I heard somewhere that Starbucks will be giving out free coffee from 9-9:30 a.m. on Wednesday. If this is true, I’m so there.

Please rent to me
Apparently I am an undesirable candidate for an apartment because I don’t have a job. The thing is though, that I am going to live with a person with a job that will pay the rent. All I have to say is that someone should hire me quickly.
— Ryli


Black socks
It’s funny that something as menial as socks can affect your day so much. If I know I am going to have a great day, I put on a good pair of socks. If I feel less than enthusiastic about my life, I put on socks with holes. But above all, black socks are the best; they never get dirty. In fact, the longer you wear them the tougher they get.
— Roger
