Recent proposals concerning individuals who are held in Guantanamo Bay being transferred to a prison in Thompson, Ill., located 150 miles from Chicago, have stirred the emotions of many Illinois politicians and citizens.
However, we believe that bringing alleged terrorists from Guantanamo Bay is not a danger to Chicago and the surrounding areas.

Eastern's 2008 security report, released in October, shows drug- and alcohol-related offenses on campus are on the rise. While this may come as a surprising increase to some, there are reasons the campus community should be happy with the report's findings, namely in the area of campus safety.

Currently, there is a movement on campus-under supervision of the student-created group Students for a Living Wage-to increase the wages of all ISU employees.
Also recently, their proposal to increase these wages to $19.51 was decried by Diann McKee, the vice president of finance here at ISU, saying this increase would cost $12 million for full-time employees, which would either cause budget cuts or require the university to increase revenue in some fashion.

Two weeks ago, the entire nation reeled over the events of Fort Hood, Texas.
What appears to be the attack of a lone gunman, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, is one of
the most violent non-military events to occur on an active base in American history.
Although initially reported as dead, Hasan is alive, and now charged with 13 counts
of premeditated murder.

But there are people who want to abuse the privileges that have been guaranteed by making a mockery of these rights.

Thanksgiving break is less than five days away and I couldn't be more excited. Not because it's the first time I'll be home since school started, or because I can catch up on sleep or even because of the pecan pie, but because of the traditions. This Friday when everyone is packing up their cars to go home, I'll be taking the train down to Carbondale and driving another hour to the southernmost tip of Illinois to take part in a Steele family tradition: Deer season.

The members of Westboro Baptist Church paid a visit to the St. Louis area for the second time in two weeks. On Nov. 12, the religious group, famous for protesting at the funerals of fallen soldiers, showed up at Northwest High School in Jefferson County. Their purpose was to spread the "truth" to the high school-aged "brats," as they eloquently put in a recent press release.

Imagine picking our government’s leaders right from the comfort of one’s computer chair. No need to drive anywhere, no “I Voted” sticker, no stamps, no paper forms. While it will be a long time before state and national governments seriously consider the Internet as a method for casting ballots, online voting is not far from reality here on the UW-Whitewater campus where it is being considered as a way to select representatives for Whitewater Student Government.

Last week, I came home to find my dad perched in front of the television with the usual CNN playing. He turned to me and informed me that, "There was a shooting at a military base in Texas. The shooter was Arab. And Muslim." Damn. Maybe this is selfish on my part.

As college students most of us consume alcohol at some point, but we miss asking ourselves a fundamental question. Why do we do it?
It is easy to say that we want to have a good time, but the experiences the night before may lead to the realization that it was really the opposite.

In the online edition of "The Simpsonian" a disgruntled Simpson College student commented on an article on Student Government Association budget allocations. The student was irritated on how funds were allocated for the student groups and let their feelings be heard loud and clear, without ever attempting to approach members of SGA and talk to the people who could possibly remedy the situation.

There was a time in my life that I was excited to get an onion ring in my fries. It was almost an occasion to hold a national holiday. I'd have called it "Onion-tentional Tuesday." But, that's neither here nor there because in my bag I found a value-sized disappointment.

Show me the money.
Tom Cruise might have been talking about being on the receiving end of financial benefit, but SIUE students have to question where their money is going. With academic and campus activity funds freezing left and right, this question is reasonably asked since students pour their hard-earned wealth into the college funds.

Due to the current economic state of our country and the inability of many companies to cope with the suffocation suffered at the hands of the financial crisis, we've seen a vast expansion in the working class and the unemployed. Some have gone back to work, some are helping their family out by going to work for the first time, while others are struggling to find more work after being laid off or fired.

I've never understood why Glenn Beck is so sad. He's come such a long way. In the late '80s, while hosting the morning zoo at a Phoenix pop station, he called a rival DJ's wife to mock her recent miscarriage. Now, he denigrates an entire nation's women for seeking abortions.

Contrary to popular belief, hookah bars are not a safe alternative to cigarette smoking. In fact, hookah smoking poses just as much risk (if not more) to the health of the smoker as well as those in the same vicinity. Many advocates of hookah smoking will tell you that there is no tar in hookah smoke; they will also tell you that there is less nicotine.
