Maryse Condé is a living legend, one of the most famous and prolific francophone authors alive she has written over 10 plays and taught at Columbia University, University of California, Berkeley, University of California, Los Angeles, University of Virginia and many other schools.
Dave Chappelle's alter ego Tyrone Biggums once preached that dog food tastes just like it smells, delicious. Biggums has obviously never been to the University of Louisville's Belknap campus. Located on 2441 S. Floyd St. right beyond the campus, next to the Bass Rudd Tennis complex and across from the Yum! Center and Lacrosse Field is the Solae factory.
Until 1865, African Americans did not have the right to vote. For women, it wasn't until 1920. Today, candidates and slates were announced for the 2008 Student Government Association elections and, as every year, few students will participate in the process of selecting the University of Louisville's future student leaders.
February may be the designated month to celebrate black history and achievements, but here on the University of Louisville campus the contribution of the black students is praiseworthy year round, especially in the arts. The Black Diamond Choir and African American Theatre Program are two programs that offer artistic outlets for black students on campus.
The Student Government Association at the University of Louisville recently formed the Club Programming Committee, in the hope of assisting Recognized Student Organizations in funding their events. The committee was formed in cooperation with the Office of Student Affairs.
Steven Kazmierczak was a 27-year-old sociology student on Wednesday and joined Cho Seung Hui in the inner-most circle of Hell on Thursday. In Dekalb, Ill., on St. Valentine's Day, students at Northern Illinois University were taking notes, text messaging, and drifting in and out of focus in their afternoon geology class when Kazmierczak emerged from behind a screen and indiscriminately began murdering.
There are not many artists that listeners can rely on to be worth the cost of a CD every time they put a new one on the market. Sheryl Crow is one of those artists. Crow's newest release, "Detours," is just what is expected, respected and to be reflected on by fans.
Love: University administrators and student government officials have worked together to improve commuter student services as well as provide ample amenities for U of L's largest demographic in order to enhance their collegiate experience. Kudos to Barbara King and the employees of Commuter Student Services, located in Davidson Hall, for their work in improving commuter services and attempting to better understand an often underrepresented and unappreciated group of students.
Love: Patrick Henry Hughes has had an impact on the U of L community that will prove to be lasting and profound far beyond his years here as a student. In the microcosm that is the University of Louisville, he serves as a teacher of universal lessons, a constant reminder of the tremendous potential of the human spirit.His embodiment of resiliency, courage, dedication, and commitment are commendable and through them he instills in the university a sense of pride and community. He's the mutual friend that everyone on campus shares.
Rick Pitino pulled a trick I haven't seen since the 1996 release of ìD2: The Mighty Ducksî. The wardrobe change at intermission was right out of the Gordon Bombay playbook. Pitino blatantly lied to ESPN's Erin Andrew's and said that he spilled Diet Pepsi on his white suit.
