Editor, Regarding the recent article "Regents give OK to bond issue," I would say it is about time that somebody woke up and realized the campus needs improvements and renovations.

Tap into your inner depressed 14-year-old self. There you'll find Static-X's new album, Start a War, with bland percussion and lacking dynamics. You'll think you are scoring weed, but it is actually oregano. Let's face it - this band is far too insecure to be hard-core.
