If you are a driver in the Chicagoland area then you know your worst enemy. No, not the bikers who fail to see instructions on the road or the traffic wardens who spot out an expired parking meter just seconds before you run back to your car. The real enemies of any driver in Chicago are those ever vigilant red-light cameras.

To the Flame,
I have read your paper with some frequency since my coming to this university, and I happened to come across this most recent issue. Being a member of the UIC Men's Tennis Team, I was proud to finally see some sort of recognition in the Sports section of the newspaper.

The Flame apologizes for running the article, "Paranoia in the Gambling Den" (Sean Murray, Mar. 1, 2010), which covered the UIC Men's Tennis Team. The article was intended to propose that people placing bets against the UIC athletic teams would soon lose their money due to the Men's Tennis Team's winning streak.

I grabbed a copy of the Flame two weeks ago and lo and behold, right there on the front page something struck me.
If you haven't read the article "The Perks of Being a Chancellor," I highly recommend you visit the Flame's website, search through the backlog and give it a skim.

Move over Baby Boomers! A new generation is taking over and nothing is about to stand in their way. The Millennials, as they are being called, are all 18 to 29-year-olds who have come into adulthood in the new millennium (in other words they are the children of the digital age).

Unless you've been living under a rock (or stacks and stacks of our missing Cauldron issues…we WILL find you…) this past week, chances are you've already heard this story.
DATELINE: SeaWorld - Orlando, Fla. Tillikum, a 12,000 pound male Orca (better known as a Killer Whale), after performing an evening show inexplicably kills his trainer.

Why is recycling so hard for some people? Not just recycling but also, to follow the cliché, reducing and reusing. In all seriousness it is not asking much.
Energy efficiency and "going green" are fairly big topics in our society, compact fluorescent light bulbs (those spirally light bulbs that save energy) and hybrid cars are gaining popularity, yet so many people won't put forth the effort to just recycle.

In the March 4 opinion piece discussing the negative sentiment on campus regarding Saga Inc., "Saga's not so bad, quit whining," the author argues that Saga's monopoly is not "anti-Hillsdale" because the administration signed the food provider's contract. This argument actually proves the opposite point.

On Feb. 26, The Chronicle of Higher Education reported the suspension of East Stroudsburg University Associate Professor of Sociology, Gloria Y. Gadsden, after a student reported her "threatening" Facebook statuses to the administration.
On separate occasions in the past month, Gadsden posted "Had a good day today, didn't want to kill even one student.

It's rare to think about where our clothes, computers and various other electronics come from, but when we do, we have to face the uncomfortable fact that our clothes were probably made in sweatshops and, more than likely, were produced by a child - our computers are, as were some of our iPods.

There's nothing that annoys me more than someone who has no idea what they're talking about and hates on people who disagree with them. That sentence seems pretty loaded and it should. I'm talking about the small, yet media-consuming "Tea Partiers." Don't get me wrong; I'm all for the First Amendment.

The lights, the glitter, the glam-the Academy Awards were quite spectacular this year, as usual. Besides the awkward red carpet interviews, Cameron Diaz calling Steve Carell "Jude" because they didn't fix the teleprompter and Barbara Streisand's dress, I rather enjoyed the Oscar broadcast.

Upon waking up every morning, we have a decision to make about what to wear. Like most campuses across the nation, here at Cleveland State students seem to avoid getting dressed. Okay, not literally dressed, but the choice of wearing anything found in a magazine seems to be out of the question.

Feeling the cold on my face and unsteadily balancing on blades, I stepped onto the rink. Between the crowd of middle-schoolers clumped on the sides and the three-foot-tall hockey kids going the wrong way around rink, I was reminded of my short-lived quest for Olympic gold this past week at Newark's finest ice arena.

With all the online technology and social networking available today, starting and spreading a rumor is easier than ever. But it has also become easier to get caught. Recently in the news, there has been a growing trend of people getting into trouble for writing comments about their schoolmates and work collegues on Myspace pages, Facebook walls, and personal blogs.

Who went to the concert on Saturday? We didn't. We had other, more exciting things to do, in more exciting places than Kresge Auditorium.
It seems that we weren't the only ones with other plans, because Kresge was-for the second time this year-conspicuously not full, as Union Board estimated 500 people attended the concert, in which it had 900 tickets available to sell.
