NSU community, this is your wake-up call. We have, by far, one of the most beautiful campuses in the state and it is being tarnished by lazy community members who leave behind their leftover utensils, dirty plates, crumpled up napkins, empty soda cups and the lists go on.

Rick Santorum and Sarah Palin: Archetypes of the real America

High oil prices ache the head and the wallet
Bad news: gas prices are projected to reach $5 this summer. A recent article by the New York Times has confirmed everyones worst fears.
America’s prisons: They want you
It is really despicable what U.S. prisons have become. Prisons, which I will remind you, are built with federal money — your money — are not interested in saving tax payers anything.
