A week ago today, my friend Ryan died. I had never lost a friend before. I wasn't sure what to say or think. I felt disoriented for days. I had to go to class, work and fulfill other duties, but it was like my ears were ringing from an M-80 that exploded too close to my head.

Levi Bulgar said he's bringing back the Summer Senate.
As student body president elect, he has a great idea. However, more initiative needs to be taken to ensure the success of this plan, and Bulgar himself needs to set bigger goals for himself.
The organization stems from the executive board and their cooperation would set precedence for other members.

This semester has been a stressful one. Long hours and late nights have consumed my life, but I wouldn't trade the experience I gained. I've thought a lot about what I would write in my last column. My intention was always to address my last column as Editor in Chief to everyone I love, because I couldn't have survived this semester without them.

Either the media are at the feet of college athletics or college athletics are at journalists' throats. There's no in-between.
Last month, The Daily Texan reported on its blog that the Austin Police Department suspended an assault with injury investigation in which Longhorns backup quarterback John Chiles was a suspect.

In case you haven't heard, we have an imminent crisis on our hands.
The news-savvy college student has likely heard that food prices are on the rise, to the point that Third World governments are being overthrown to protest the unavailability of life's most basic commodity.

Way back during the Freshmen Orientation of 2004, I had the pleasure of hearing Professor Phil Laemmle's famous "Biscuit Speech." Laemmle was a great teacher and great man who made a positive impact in the lives of numerous students. His annual Biscuit Speech, delivered at freshmen orientation, was about how college freshmen are young and stupid, but by listening to folks like him, they could fix it together.

Four years ago when I first stepped foot on the University of Louisville campus, I'll never forget that ball of apprehension lodged into the pit of my stomach. I felt in over my head and scared. However, it took no time at all to learn the tricks of the trade, so to speak, of college life.

With plenty in America calling Barack Obama's comments elitist, maybe it is time the United States took a look in the mirror. Currently the saber-rattling and bellicose rhetoric emerges at a thunderous pace as Washington and the military amp up possible war with Iran.

Words usually flow freely to me. I can flex my vocabulary muscles on cue and rattle off 17 synonyms for the word depressed. On Tuesday night, all words escaped me. That's when SIUC senior Ryan Rendleman died in a car accident. Ryan was a friend to all his co-workers at the Daily Egyptian and an inspiration to us all.

And it came to pass.
Early in the morning toward the last
day of the semester,
There arose a great multitude smiting the books and wailing.
And there was much weeping and
Gnashing of teeth,
For the day of judgement was at hand
And they were sore afraid, for they
had left undone
Those things which they ought not to have done,
And there was no help for it.

It's time that Pfizer made an oral contraceptive for men. Admittedly, there are reasons besides the prevention of pregnancy for women to take oral contraceptives, but it seems to me that it's a little misogynistic for a major drug company to make a pill that cures the inability to achieve an erection but not to make a pill to help men do their part to prevent an unwanted pregnancy.

At the end of each year, the editorial staff examines all our issues for the topics and controversies that dominated our headlines. We've seen a last-second Monon win, the loss of a favorite Mexican restaurant, three tragic deaths of members of the DePauw community and the announcement of our next president.

With every end, there is a new beginning. Haunted by the surgical scars from two blown ACLs and the deep throbbing pain of a strained UCL in my elbow, my collegiate baseball career was left in shambles. For two years, I fought through the injuries, but in vain.

One of the perks of knowing that I'm graduating in 12 days (not that I'm counting) is that I now feel like I can be completely honest about my experiences at DePauw. I haven't always spoken up, even when I wanted to. I always felt I wasn't qualified to speak my mind on certain subjects.

Everyone has heard of the "feminist movement," but many people are unaware of a growing movement in a similar direction - only with our male counterparts. There are men's rights activists in growing numbers in the country - including St. Louis - who feel they are an oppressed minority and want to vocalize how they are affected by sexism just as much, if not more, than women.
