With the University of Louisville's final football game of 2008 upon us, it's obvious the season did not go the way many had hoped.
No, the Cardinals didn't have National Championship aspirations like last year, but with eight home games and a weaker than normal Big East conference, a bid to the postseason should have been almost a guarantee. Instead, Louisville will have to win Thursday at Rutgers just to keep those chances alive.

For Tara Schapmire, social work has been a life long calling.
"I was meant to be a social worker," said Schapmire. "I found my life's calling in oncology social work.

When I learned a field existed that would allow me to combine these interests, I went after it."

For senior nursing major Lindsay Luckett, who spends most of her time on the Health Sciences Campus, decisions made by the Student Government Association feel distant.
"It's hard to relate to the things that they are doing on Belknap campus because I don't spend any time there," Luckett said.

Megan Steinberg isn't happy with having to pay the $250 next fall for the University of Louisville's mandatory meal plan. But for Steinberg, a leukemia survivor, the problem has less to do with the wallet and more to do with the body.
Steinberg, a senior sociology major, said the disease changed her life and has affected the way that she takes care of her body. She feels it is important that students be allowed to choose what they want to eat, especially for students who want to avoid eating certain foods that may contain harmful ingredients.

The gavel bangs and Student Government Association members scurry to their seats. It's Tuesday night and another meeting of the SGA student senate has begun.


The meeting will see reports from the top four executive officers, possibly an outside speaker and perhaps a student will take advantage of the time at the beginning of each meeting where a non-senator can speak for ten minutes about an important issue.
Unlikely, considering how few students seem to attend.


Column: When text is best

"Steve proposed to me on top of the Sears Tower!" was what my step-sister told me. Wait a minute, it was a text she sent to my cell, not what she actually told me. Some things you simply shouldn't text to people, especially important or exciting news to a family member.
Texting cannot replace communication via telephone or in person. Just because the majority of people have cell phones does not mean they have them completely charged and on 24/7. The amount of cell phone use, especially with texting, varies dramatically from person to person.
