  Governor Gilmore's Tax-Cuts Hurt Radford University
Graphic By: Jenn Peterson Jeff Davis | Vent Section Manager

The following is an excerpt from Governor Jim Gilmore's (R-VA) website:

"When Governor Jim Gilmore took office on January 17th, he promised to deliver meaningful tax relief to the people of Virginia. In his first one hundred days in office, Governor Gilmore delivered. The Personal Property Tax Relief Act of 1998 is the largest tax relief measure in the history of the Commonwealth. This legislation will eliminate the car tax on approximately 90 percent of all Virginia vehicles during a five-year phase-in period beginning January 1, 1998."

Sounds pretty good, right? Money going back to the consumers...sounds democratic to me. By 2002, taxpayers will be getting a 100% reduction in this tax. Alas, things are not black and white.


 Bad Timing on Spring Break?

Bad Timing on Spring Break? For every college student, it is the pinnacle time to get away from the drudgery of classes and monotonous routine. Often, it's a time to enjoy the weather. That's what we believe anyhow. You turn on any of those "buzz" TV stations and you'll see "Such and Such Spring Break 2001" splattered all over its broadcast with people in skinny swimsuits with white sand underfoot and blue water in the background. But here at RU, we get an extra early spring break. It's fun to be out before anyone else, but in other ways, it isn't.

 RU Landscaping Enough?
Graphic By: Rachel Thomason Rachel Thomason | Executive Director

Every year we see the same thing. The campus is mad with movement in the weeks before graduation. This movement is not from excited students about to graduate however. It is from the massive amounts of shrubbery, bushes, grass, and other greenery that are being uprooted, moved, planted and replanted. Trees are moved clear across campus in preparation for the wave of deep-pocketed parents due to arrive at RU.
