Though worldwide food shortages should be a thing of the past, today's food crisis threatens almost 1 billion people with near term starvation.

Five-minute fame

There have been a few random nights with friends where we battle our indecisiveness about what we're going to do and then do it again to decide where we are going to do what it is we've decided to do.

Okay, so I just signed up for the GRE, talked to a journalism student from NYU and looked up a bunch of graduate schools for different disciplines.

Upholding equality

he California Supreme Court's landmark decision that invalidates the law against same-sex marriage has elicited a chorus of jubilation in the gay and lesbian community across the nation and among its ardent supporters.

You won’t believe this…

When it was announced that the University of California education system would be facing $4 billion in budget cuts, UC students were forced to realize that allies in their financial struggle would be few and far between. In the past months, state legislators, UC administrators and even California's governor have all but turned their back on the state's student population, leaving them starved for representation in matters that directly impact their higher education experience.
