Every time I drive by Kum & Go these days, I get a little nauseated. Nope, it’s not because of the 15 times I stopped there two weeks ago to get some Red Bull to finish my senior paper, or because public restrooms freak me out. I don’t even have to go in to feel like I’m going to puke. What would cause such a severe reaction, you may ask?

Jeremiah Wright, were the issue at the forefront of campaign news this week after Wright gave a controversial speech at the National Press Club in Washington. The resulting public reaction has proven to be negative, linking the views of the pastor with those of Obama himself.

So here I am at the end of a long journey. Four years after starting college, I’m wiser, more cultured and a little taller. I have been getting a barrage of questions like: “What are you doing after graduation?”, “Where will you be?” and “When can I get that money you owe me?” I don’t really have an answer to any of these questions.

The front-page article printed in Chips (Vol. 130, No. 21) regarding trayless week was misleading, to say the least. Dealing with statistics often is, as it can be difficult to know what exactly your data is telling you. There are a number of issues that must be addressed to draw any sort of reasonable conclusions that this study failed to look at in any way.
