Get in gear - Housing should select RAs by November
A resident adviser position comes with many benefits. In return for their services, RAs receive free room and board, along with use of an Ethernet-connected computer for the year. The incentives ensure that the University has plenty of applicants. Currently, the RA selection process is not finished until late February. By this time, most students have already made their next year's housing arrangements. Housing concerns deter students from applying to be RAs - the University should select its RAs by an earlier date.
Brave, clean, and taxed
"A scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent." But if a group of Colorado citizens gets their way, the Boy Scouts of America will have to add taxable to the end of their Scout law.
This November, Colorado citizens will vote on a state initiative, spearheaded by trial lawyer John Patrick Michael Murphy, that would end tax exemptions for 8,300 churches and nonprofit groups. Included in this group of organizations are the Boy Scouts, Easter Seals, Meals-on-Wheels, and Planned Parenthood.
