On Nov. 9 Awaken Ophelia sponsored a “Wage-Scale Bake Sale” to raise funds for their club treasury and to bring awareness to an old problem. … The price of baked goods was set to reflect the wage discrepancy: women were charged 75 cents, while men were charged $1.
Today, women are both homemaker and breadwinner. Women are expected to do it all, have it all and be it all. We are expected to be Superwoman and nothing less. But we are not provided with the resources necessary to be all that we are “supposed” to be. Every college should establish a day-care center at minimal or no cost to students. Not only would this allow mothers to continue their education, but it would keep them from sinking deep into debt.

Pixar has gone and blown away audiences and competition… again. The story was simple and straightforward with a few small twists that were completely within the realm of possibility and always entertaining. At no time did the plot ever seem too thick and cluttered with things that looked cool but didn’t further the storyline, like most movies nowadays.
Had enough reality lately? Well, how about seeing what happens when people stop being real and start getting animated? That’s the motto of TV’s first animated reality series “Drawn Together,” on Comedy Central. The show is mainly a spoof of MTV’s “Real World,” with a liberal dash of every other reality show thrown in whenever appropriate to enhance the comedy.
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines metal as “any of various opaque, fusible, ductile, and typically lustrous substances that are good conductors of electricity and heat.” If you can apply that definition metaphorically to hardcore rock fans’ denotation of metal then it all will make sense.
