Regardless of your position, if you cannot verbalize a sentence with proper subject-verb agreement, use of rhetoric, and order food in any language, you cannot speak that language. If universities make an effort to ensure that their students can speak English, shouldn’t they also make an effort to ensure that their educators can do the same?

On the Scene: What do you think of the SGA-suggested student service fee increase from $250 to $300?
In this installment of “On the Scene”, we asked students what they thought of the SGA-suggested student service fee increase from $250 to $300?
Facebook is serious business
Facebook has become an integral part of life in the U.S. but it all really is a fad, just like Myspace. Will all this really matter in a few years? Hopefully not.
However, I do have one good thing to say about Mark Zuckerberg and his life-draining website. I am really glad that they have started to stand up for their members and have started to make efforts to keep what you consider private, private.
America pays for the pursuit of coal
I wouldn’t normally say this, but I think I have really started to come around to the idea of alternate energy. Well actually, I am for any kind of energy even nuclear, just not coal. Coal has become one of the biggest nuisances in America’s pursuit to light our homes and charge our iPods.
NSU social Greek Community in state of gridlock
While what you might see and hear about is the drinking, hazing, parties, irresponsibility and complacency, this is the exception rather than the rule; and I know this because I myself am a “Frat Boy.” I pledged an Interfraternity Conference (IFC) fraternity at my undergraduate institution. And from what I see here, there are three major issues that hamper the advancement of the Greek community at NSU.

Its abuse is a serious issue, which is why the anti-meth public service announcement advertisements on TV are just as serious. Advertisement agencies are waking up to this “serious approach” and more and more harsh-reality warnings are showing up during commercial breaks. But do they work?
Street advertising deserves its own corner
Driving down U.S. 1 is quite a test of your attention span. It is remarkably easy to get distracted, taking in all the visual stimulation that is hurtling past your vehicle at 30 mph. There are big tall buildings to look at, street signs to pay attention to, and traffic to worry about. But a new distracting sidewalk phenomenon has the streets of Hallandale Beach spinning in controversy.
Our future in space: NASA’s troubles and SpaceX
With the swan song of NASA’s Space Shuttle program sung with the flight of STS-135 (Atlantis) in July of last year, financial prospects for NASA look grim. With an economy in dire straits and little to spare, the retirement of the Space Shuttle has led to a stagnation of space flight options for the agency that sent a man to the moon in the depths of the Cold War.
Why you should be skeptical about Kony 2012
I am writing not to thwart the efforts of this movement, but to raise awareness to actually researching something before committing to it. It is really easy to follow the herd and mindlessly join the growing numbers of the “Anti-Kony Campaign.” But if all you did to make an “informed” decision was watch the video—you have some homework to do.
