Professor
builds sight device
Everything
around you is dark. You can’t see anything. You’re
blind.
Then, imagine a device that’s no larger than a strand of
hair that could help someone who had no sight, see. With the
use of a micro-engine, an artificial eye could focus and relay
images to the brain. |

GROUP
New organization is about
fun, laughs
COMMENTARY
There’s
a new organization on campus, and its rules are simple.
There are none. No mandatory meetings. No screening process
for membership. No dress code. No service requirements and no
dues. But its purpose is clear: All the creators ask is that
you meet people and come to have fun. |

violence problem complicated
COMMENTARY
Did
you know that three years ago a 6-year-old boy shot one of his
classmates in an elementary school? The boy found the gun while
staying in his uncle’s house and took it to school the
next morning. |

Invaluable
linemen deserve credit
They work hard in the trenches, and they don’t
mind it one bit
COMMENTARY
They
love their job regardless of who watches.
It is hard being offensive linemen. When things go well, they
don’t get any recognition. When things go bad, they get
all the blame.
“The only people who realize they are out there are family,
friends and the line coach,” offensive line coach Eddie
Williamson said. “And if they have a girlfriend, then her
too.” |

Movie
review
‘Radio’ boasts heartwarming messsage,
great performances
There
are two reasons why many have already decided not to watch the
film, “Radio.” The first reason is that it was produced
by Disney, a studio infamous for its ability to take a perfectly
good plot and turn it into a super-sappy, feel-good movie with
a predictable Hollywood ending. The second reason is because
it stars Cuba Gooding Jr., an actor whose career went from the
unforgettable “show me the money” guy in “Jerry
Maguire” to the cheesy dentist-who-talks-to-dogs-guy in
the movie “Snow Dogs” (which coincidentally was also
a Disney film). |
