President Bashar al-Assad, I wish to congratulate you on your recent publicity here in the United States.

With all due respect, my colleagues are wrong. Linux is hand-down the best option for computing. It isn’t even a competition. Neal Stephenson said: “Macs are hermetically-sealed sedans that look great and have a lot of advertsing. Windows machines are big SUVs that break often, but they’re everywhere and everyone knows how to use them. […]
So, USA, we’re talking about another war. Or maybe we’re not—I’m a little confused still. Actually, while we’re talking about this, I’m confused about how many wars America is still involved with.

Amanda Hollman, assistant opinions editor, @HollmanAmanda The beginning of each semester brings what each student dreads: tuition payments. UVU’s payment deadline, including the day that classes will be dropped for nonpayment, is set before financial aid even arrives at the school.

Amanda Hollman, assistant opinions editor, @HollmanAmanda Let’s face it, we all have days where we run out of time to pack a lunch and are on campus all day. At that point, you either have to starve or buy something. Luckily, our campus has a variety of food vendors to choose from. Here at […]
Michelle Ngo, opinion writer, @michelle_tngo If you were to spend an hour asking UVU students whether or not they were working during the school year, a majority of them would say yes.
