Here we are again. Another week, another issue, another chance to Vent. So, has anyone heard that the United States is on the verge of war with Iraq? You have? Oh. Great, because we have more views on that situation. Where would we be without our military? And where would we be without our law enforcement? Greg kicks off Part Three of his Seven Eleven series with a look at Radford's finest. And speaking of Radford, what is with these class-cutting policies that keep us from graduating on time? Perhaps Valerie can shed some insight. Finally, be sure to check out the bruise board and the new weekly "What do you Think?" column! Cheers!

Just A Few Good Beers: Justice or Overkill?
Mike Flick | Copy Editor
Instead of the usual American politics, I have decided to vent about a recent court verdict that has divided my hometown of Charlottesville, Virginia. On August 16th of last year, parents George and Lisa Robinson decided to spend $360 dollars on beer and coolers for their son's 16th birthday celebration. The police eventually came and charged the couple with sixteen misdemeanor counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The couple was found guilty, and the commonwealth's attorney asked for 90-day sentences. What did they get? Eight YEARS.

Working at 7-11 Part Three: Getting to Know RU's Finest
Greg Woodruff | Staff Writer
These last few weeks, I've given you some insight as to what it's like to work at 7-11. I saw many things and had many things to piss and moan about. A lot of things I saw really pissed me off. The world needs to change, and hopefully I can make at least a little difference with these articles. For one thing, I hope to make you a better customer.
