Ineffective Immediately

Posted under "Call To Question" on April 20th, 2010 by Ross Brenneman

There were a lot of strangers surrounding the Senate table this week. We don’t know who they were, they weren’t introduced until the end of the meeting and, frankly, we’re almost done, so they’re mostly irrelevant.

Penultimatum

Posted under "Call To Question" on April 13th, 2010 by Ross Brenneman

The Senate came to terms with, well, its term. Yes, the 2009-10 Senate is now officially history, relegated to the newspaper archives as relics of the good, olden days. KEEP THOSE YOUNG WHIPPERSNAPPERS OFF OUR LAWN!

Plenty to Read About

Posted under "The Other Side" on April 12th, 2010 by Erin Philbrick

Did you know that the Emergency Department at URMC just conducted a study of 61,689 motorcyclicsts and determined that, because baby-boomer riders are aging, they are at greater risk of injury and death while riding?

From the Publisher’s Desk

Posted under "The Editor's Desk" on April 8th, 2010 by Ross Brenneman

It is sad that the Campus Times net does not, despite our best intentions, extend far enough to catch every group. Yet to best of our ability we cover every request (see this week’s A&E section). But even if we can’t always get the writer, we need those requests. We need to be told what’s going on out there.

Posted under "This Week in TV" on April 8th, 2010 by Erica Hyman

This week’s episode of “Modern Family” was probably the most controversial to date. No, there wasn’t anything risque or edgy, but there was a hot-button issue that took center stage: Product Placement. In the episode, Phil Dunfey’s birthday is coming up, and the only thing he wants is an iPad. He spends a great deal of time explaining the various perks of having this device in his life.
