It seems we're getting shocking news from everywhere. The country is facing an economic crisis, North Korea is resuming their nuclear activities and Clay Aiken has finally stepped out of the closet. Now as shocking as Gaykin's, I mean Aiken's, coming out is, what is more shocking is some of the news that hasn't been reported by our laser-focused media.

There's something about those slanted aisles of FroGro that makes you wonder: who's around the corner? And more importantly, what do they look like? Because chances are, if they're moderately attractive, you've got a shot at love (thanks, Tila!). In a surprising - and somewhat disturbing - turn of events, FroGro is proving to be more than just a place where you can be greeted by a masturbating homeless person who invites you to join him in some fun; the 40th Street staple is steadily establishing itself as a maze of polystyrene cups and vegan soy ice cream where, if you're lucky enough, you might just meet your future soulmate.

Have you noticed the financial crisis developing right before our eyes - this country's worst since the Great Depression? Most of us know it exists but don't understand it to the extent we should.
I randomly surveyed over 120 Penn students, and only 31 percent reported that they were "extremely confident" or "pretty confident" in their ability to understand the current financial dilemma.

After Friday night's first Presidential debate, Democrats envisioned a clear victory for Barack Obama. Republicans envisioned a clear victory for John McCain. Ron Paul supporters were probably happy he wasn't invited to participate in the craziness of the first debate.

As college students, we are taught to open our minds and consider different viewpoints and opinions before coming to a conclusion. But how can we be expected to make an educated decision about our vote, a decision that will potentially have a huge impact on our future and the future of our nation, without having access to both sides of the issues?

In the mid-1990s - I don't recall the exact year, but my dad was still living - he and I were together for New Year's, just the two of us and a brew or two. "Well," he said to me, "Now that communism is gone, when capitalism crashes, where do we go from here?" His question seems very relevant this week.

Behind the scenes in Mead Hall, the future of Drew is starting to become realized in a master plan. While the plan is not finalized and the goals are long-term, Weisbuch looks as if he will give Drew a bigger face lift than any of us dreamed. And to think we thought new windows and paint on some buildings were surprising.

Dear Editor,
Last week's Acorn featured a letter to the editor decrying the provocative article, "It's not size that counts…" in the Sept. 19 issue. This letter unfairly chastised the article's author and the editorial board of The Acorn from a vantage point that dismissed context, and inappropriately infantilized the entire College of the Liberal Arts community.

With the 2008 presidential election rapidly approaching, student groups on campus have been doing a fantastic job registering first time voters - but what if these students do not have the opportunity to go out and vote?
A total of 1,950 new voters were registered last year at Drexel, and events this year have registered 1,600 more students, as reported by The Triangle in the April 4 and Oct.

It's always about this time of year that I start to lose the middle ground between working hard and playing hard.
At this point in the semester, I actually have to produce grade-able work and complete time-intensive reading assignments. From Sunday through Thursday I'm a human dynamo of nervous energy - constantly churning out papers and practice exams.

I'm confused.
If I would need a doctor to perform a life-altering procedure, I would choose the person with the most experience possible, whose walls were plastered with certificates for everything and anything (I wouldn't care if they were awards for a pie eating contest, just as long as they show that this doctor's got commitment).

To understand is not to condone.
Unfortunately, this is difficult for some to comprehend. Some prefer to operate under the assumption that all things are equal, and nuance does not exist. In their minds, to write about a topic is to legitimize it, to discuss something forbidden is suddenly to claim it is permitted.

It has recently been discovered that an amendment in the constitution for the Student Government Association, Inc. was illegal. Now, every single Montclair State University student will vote to see if the SGA will be dissolved.
The amendment, added way back in 1977, stated that if the SGA ever was dissolved, "the remaining assets shall be transferred and distributed to the members of the corporation in equal shares.

To the Editor:
Last Friday, I attended the brownbag, "Why Most Feminists Support Obama," which was hosted by the College Democrats. I thought it was a great success, as did most people I talked to. Students and professors of various political stripes attended to hear Professors Byrd and Washington discuss the various issues that feminism encompasses, and why they believed that Senator Obama is better suited to address those issues than his opponent, Senator McCain.

For those of you who are not aware, there has been a recent discussion regarding Pace's sexual assault policy and protocol. There basically isn't one. It came to the attention last semester when a student was sexually assaulted on William Street while walking from school to her dorm.

The Federal Reserve announced Sept. 16 the bailout of insurance giant AIG. The rescue - in the form of a loan - is an act unprecedented in the history of the Federal Reserve. The government now, in effect, possesses a controlling interest in a gigantic private organization.

I remember the day during my childhood when I realized I wasn't safe.
On April 20, 1999, I came home from school and turned on MTV, as I used to do back then, to see reports coming through of a massive school shooting.
Two students had gone on a killing spree, murdering 12 students and a teacher, wounding 23 others, and ultimately turning the guns on themselves.

There is not a lot of time left before the most important class for your major this semester. As you try and log onto Blackboard, the system fails and there is temporary maintenance being done on the program. If Blackboard still had been running at the time, you would have seen the assignment due next class or the fact that class was cancelled.

Over the past year, presidential hopeful Barack Obama has emphasized the need for economic and tax reform, both of which-he claims-could lead to a more just and fair redistribution of wealth in the U.S.
Obama's tax increases on the "wealthy" have been at the forefront of his economic plan, but the question remains whether or not these increases will penalize more than just the rich.

Many in the political and intellectual classes viewed the nomination of Sarah Palin as John McCain's running mate with disdain. Such a relative newcomer to the national political scene, they reasoned, will likely stumble and flail.
Surely the inexperienced political novice would end up as an embarrassment to the McCain campaign and a liability to her running mate's chances of success.

Cigarette smoking is one of the most unhealthy and most disgusting habits that we still engage in. It makes clothing, hair, and fingers reek of tobacco. It can bring lung and mouth cancer, emphysema, and has brought most smokers chronic bronchitis.
It is also the right of every American over the age of 18.

If you type the words "Joe Biden" into Google, the Web page will kindly offer you the related search of "Joe Biden gaffes." Type "Sarah Palin," and a "Sarah Palin Katie Couric interview" suggestion will follow. Ridiculous statements and horrifically executed interviews are intrinsically linked-at least as far as Google sees it-to the current vice-presidential candidates.

As yet another semester begins at Montclair State University, a new set of problems arise that people complain and whine about. Some are fixed and some aren't, but on the whole, no one is truly satisfied.
One of the problems that finds its way to the top of the complaint list is the shuttle bus situation we have had on campus for years.

Maybe I'm getting old or I'm just over the whole scene but getting fucked up is no longer my idea of a good time.
I see these young - well, younger than me - girls wearing barely there skirts or dresses with six inch heels and their Ken Paves inspired hair extensions standing in front of my building talking about all the vodka and rum they'll be drinking which they bought with their parents money.
