Letter to the Editor
“Vampires on campus” Everyday when I walk to DeSantis I have to dodge the people harassing me to give blood. It never fails they are always out there offering you FREE anything in exchange for your blood. I understand that the blood is necessary and that there is a need, but is it really […]
“Where Oh Where” is Public Safety?
Last week when I lost something very important to me, I went to the side of the Parker building, where public safety was located last year, and it was gone. There was no sign and, not so much as a phone number to call.
Accessibility at NSU, not so automatic
Ever thought about what life would be like if you had a disability. I mean really thought about it? Let’s say, for instance, you had limited use of your hands, as is common in a spinal cord injuries or people with Cerebral Palsy. How would you button those skinny jeans, put on a belt, tie […]

This is my beef with standardized testing: It’s bogus — especially when you were unfortunate enough to have been passed through the entire Florida educational system. For those of you feeling the impending doom of the post-college life, I’m right there with you. Graduate school sounds like a fantastic escape from the “real world,” right? Ehh, not when you step out of a GRE testing center.
There’s still time to save the post office
Have you ever had a piece of mail ruined? A letter crunched or a poster bent? Chances are that the culprit behind such destructive negligence was someone employed or some machine used by the United States Postal Service. I cannot tell you how many issues of my Transworld subscription have been destroyed by poor handling or how many packages have ended up in wrong states only to be told that an error had an occurred and, “We’re sorry.”
