What lies ahead
As far removed as I am, I can’t shake from my mind the images of devastation in the Gulf states. Cities completely laid to waste, chaos and violence in flooded urban streets, a mass exodus of average Americans turned into refugees- scenes that have filled the television since Hurricane Katrina seem almost too fantastic to believe.
The best laid plans
Images of death, destruction and desperation cluttered newspapers, Web sites and televisions this week. Some of the photos – like those of dead bodies lining the sidewalks of the Superdome – were disturbingly shocking. Still others, such as five-person families holding all their worldly possessions in a trash bag, were just plain sad.
It could happen here

VCU Football Still Undefeated
You may have seen someone on campus with a shirt that says “VCU Football, Still Undefeated” and wondered why you’ve never gone to see one of the games or why you have not had a football player in one of your classes.
Well, the reason the Rams have not been beaten in football is because VCU does not have a football team.
