How do I get on the 8:15 coffee cup sleeves

You may have noticed that the coffee cup sleeves from 8:15 at Boatwright are not an ad for Starbucks, but have the faces of University of Richmond alumni who seem to be doing some awesome things with their post-Liberal-Arts lives. During the last three years, School of Arts and Sciences administrators have been buying coffee cup sleeves for 8:15 at Boatwright and putting on them photos and information about alumni and seniors who "turn their passion into their purpose."

What is the process for financial aid?

During my various experiences with financial aid, I have figured out a few things that I think everyone should know in order to get the most out of all the aid the University of Richmond gives. I got some of my information from Cindy Deffenbaugh, director of student financial aid.

Popsicles Part Two: What the first amendment means to me

No, no more Popsicles were stolen. Although that would be hilarious and a little eerie (serial Popsicle thief, not cool), I wanted to expand on last week's column with a little more talk about free speech.

This week's question stemmed from last week's Police Report in which The Collegian included a report made to the university police department that said popsicles valued at $5 were taken from an apartment during the summer.

Meal plans, No Tray Fridays and the door handle thingys

What's up with YouTube?

Google, which owns YouTube, signed a contract with a few media companies last Thursday to feature TV shows and movies on the Web site, according to an article in The New York Times. The merge is supposed to generate more advertising for YouTube, because it is not making enough money from its advertising on the user-generated content.

Where ... can we park?

Warning: My column (dubbed the Rice Report by some Collegian staffers) this week will be full of quotes from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. "Look my liege!"

Where is The Collegian printed?

The Collegian is printed off campus by our good friend Travis at the printing press of a newspaper, The Progress Index. Thank you Ben for the question, even if you were coerced.

How do you get the Police Report?

Battlefield Shifts to the Economy: Response

The blog recently posted with the title "Battlefield Shifts to the Economy" may seem factually sound and intellectually logical on the surface; but the underlying argument beneath the complicated tax talk is false. The following is a rough outline of how the argument veered off track.

Drill, baby. Drill.

An emerging issue in the Presidential Race is the debate about how to reduce our reliance on foreign oil and hence reduce the price of gas at the pump. McCain and the Republican party have been gaining traction with the theme, "Drill here, drill now." And for the most part, Americans tend to agree. Sensing popular support, the Right has been milking the issue, calling that Congress be reinstated to help Americans with the price of oil and other purely political moves designed to press the issue rather than solve it.
