Dubious dollars
Last week, the Michigan Student Assembly approved a plan to put a fee increase proposal on the November ballot. The proposal would raise the student fee by $1.50 per term, pushing the total student fee to $4.19 per term.
18 and life
Believe it or not, students who are under 21 do drink. Every weekend, students armed with fake IDs go out to intoxicate their worries away while at the same time attempting to avoid the dreaded Minor In Possession tickets and the Department of Public Safety. Tougher punishments and regulations seem to have little effect on the number of people who are willing to risk legal ramifications for a drink.

When my father and I debate an issue, one of his favorite rejoinders is "I hate to interject with the facts, but ..." While watching the presidential debate Sunday night, I couldn't help but think of my father and his fondness for facts (he is fond of saying that he knows everything that is unimportant and my mother knows everything else) - both major candidates merrily bored the nation with political sound bytes, silly jokes and selective use of facts and figures.
