The flight was short, only 50 minutes, but turbulence rocked our small plane until we were able to cruise above the clouds. But that did not last long. We spent most of our flight ascending then descending. (0) comments

-The following letters refers to "Obama, not perfect but better than the alternative," by David Zugnoni, which ran on Wednesday, Aug. 27. I read Mr. Zugnoni's piece with great interest. As a fan of Barack Obama, I'm pleased that he also feels that Obama would be our best choice for president. (0) comments

I loved the juxtaposition on today's front page: "First-time freshmen flood campus" and "Student Culture: Drink of the week." The average age of freshmen on our campus is 18; it wouldn't surprise me if the majority of students on our campus were also below the legal drinking age. (1) comment
