Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Scene
There’s recently been a sudden surge of my old high school friends coming home from missions trying to get used to being around other old friends who’ve “changed.” It’s still difficult for them to resist urges to shake hands and shove blue books into people’s hands, so they socialize more passively with “guy’s night out,” which is essentially when guys foreswear association with any relations to the fairer sex (be they casual girlfriends or wives of several years) to assert “maleness.

The Gods Must be Crazy: Confessions of a Comic Book Fan
It’s almost 5 AM and I’ve been up all night reading. The Green Arrow is explaining to his girlfriend, the Black Canary, why he must stay behind and sacrifice his life to save some survivors of the latest threat to all life in the universe: Anti-Life. “I can’t lose you,” she breathes, raising her hand to the glass window.
Health insurance options under par
Did you know that you can get student health insurance from between $30 to $150 a month? Up until a few days ago, I didn’t either. As it turns out, UVU students can gain access through an online health insurance distributor called CampusCoverage.com who have a company in almost every state.
Who Killed George Tiller?
Many from within the anti-abortion movement, such as the National Right to Life Committee, Operation Rescue, Kansans for Life and various Jewish groups have condemned Scott Roeder, the alleged murderer of the doctor George Tiller.

Transparency and fairness are key to a democracy – at least in theory. However, a growing number of students are concerned with the legitimacy of the recent student election. There’s no need for pointing fingers or petty grudges. Our student body president is Trevor Tooke and that’s final.
Kelly Clarkson Concert Tickets Go On Sale
On June 11, pop artist Kelly Clarkson will perform at Brent Brown Ballpark, the UVU baseball stadium, at 6:30 PM. The performance is part of UVUphoria! II, Orem Summerfest and Clarkson’s tour for her new album ALL I EVER WANTED, her fourth studio album which released just last week.
The Show Must (Not) Go On
The death of a theater production is arguably UVU’s best-kept secret controversy this month. Electra, which was slated for release in early March at the Provo Theater, was cancelled last week for suggestive sexual content. Electra is a classical Greek tragedy by Euripides about a brother and sister who are commanded by the gods to kill their mother.
No car, no problem
Every time I eat one of my typically modest-budget meals, I always find myself thanking heaven I’m too pathetic to have a car. To be sure, I’m more pathetic for not having a license.
