	Civil War scheduling unfortunate for students Editorial by Emerald Editorial Board For many University students, football games represent exalted bliss: the crowds, the camaraderie, the exuberance.

	Give me a home where the beer drinkers roam In my opinion by Ossie Bladine The ASUO has $800,000 of surplus to spend and I'm damn thirsty.

If everyone treated all living beings with the compassion and respect they deserve, we could be closer to this reality.
