How annoying is it when someone tells you that you look tired? Instead of reading that comment as an insult, use it as a reminder of the harmful effects produced by lack of sleep. As the end of the semester approaches, and we are faced with a seemingly endless number of exams, papers and group projects to complete, our sleep habits may begin to deteriorate.
Students, faculty and staff of the university, we, the membership of N.E.L., believe that leaders and stewards of what is good deserve to be recognized.
Herman Cain is in a tough spot. Carried this far largely on rhetoric and a touted background in the private sector, the Cain campaign machine seems to be running low on fuel. Hampered by a campaign team that is poorly organized at best, a hastily crafted tax plan now under heavy criticism and allegations of misconduct with women in past positions, presidential hopeful Herman Cain seems to be nearing the end of his 15 minutes of fame. Despite all of these kinks in the armor of Cain's campaign, I think his biggest flaw is one that not a lot of people seem to be talking about.
A selection of The Collegian's editors attended a brief performance by the Theatre for Social Change group on campus.
During the pre-dawn hours of daylight saving time, the sidewalks of Charleston, S.C., were pulsing with the flurry of discombobulated people who had spent their extra hour out at the bars.

This movement, at its best, is misguided. The protesters are misguided because of an inadequate understanding of definitions of terminology.
As a 2011 Westhampton College graduate now working as a religion reporter and news editor, I would like to take this opportunity to respond to Qasim Rashid's Nov.
Dear Editor, I agree with Mr. Ahmed that journalists must report the truth, but his November 2 Opinion Editorial "Sickness of Balance" presents a double standard. Previously, Mr. Ahmed concluded his news coverage of an October 20 Shariah Law event that the UR Muslim Law Student Association (MLSA) hosted with an opinionated assertion that "Islam, like all religions, has no basis in science." In his Nov.
I agree with the diagnosis, oft-cited by Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks, that establishment media is losing its way because of its insistence on balance for balance's sake.
I have discovered a newfound weekend hobby: being sober in a room full of sloppily drunken people.
1.What does Shariah mean? "Shariah" is the law of the Qur'an and literally means, "A path to life giving water." In fact, the word "Yarrah" (i.e.
"Why doesn't that girl wear shoes?" I wish I could say that it was a campaign to raise money and awareness for impoverished, shoeless children, but as noble as this may sound it is far from the truth.
When I was traipsing around Scotland during my semester abroad, I noticed that the plastic bags at Tesco, the mainstream supermarket, were streaked with the slogan: "Every little helps." For the life of me, I could not figure out what the missing noun was. Back in America, President Obama's newest slogan seems to be: "Every little dollar helps." For students, that is.
The Libyan revolution came to an unexpected climax this past week when news broke that the deposed dictator, Muammar Gadhafi, had been slain at the hands of the rebel forces.
