Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor,
Actually, let me start that again.
Dear Conservative CryBaby Dennis Lennox,
Hi. How are you? It sounds like you’re a little stressed out, but I’m writing here to alleviate some of your concerns about Mike Rao and VCU. You see, Virginia voted liberal this term.
The 7 people you meet at VCU
We all have seen the Facebook groups about the summaries of 99 percent of the people you meet in college. Well, now you have the seven people you will meet right here in Richmond-all you have to do is go to a party or to class.
1. The Drunk Crying Girl
This is the girl who, despite not being able to hold her alcohol, insists on drinking a lot of it very quickly and then proceeds to cause more drama than a third world war.
Cardboard confessionals
Paul Cauchon is tired of preachers in the Compass Emporium Pointe Emporium giving Christians a bad name. That’s why he and six of his friends stood in the Court Wednesday, each holding a cardboard sign displaying words like masturbation and backstabbing. Each of the students had written their sins on their sign.
Statewide tornado dr scheduled
Tornado Preparedness Day has been scheduled for March 17, 2009 by Gov. Tim Kaine with a statewide tornado drill to occur at 9:45 a.m.
On March 17, each National Weather Service office will issue test tornado warnings and a short Emergency Alert System activation message sent via weather radio.
THE SKINNY
Texting while driving in Virginia soon could be illegal if signed into law. House Bill 1876 was passed in the Senate 33-1 and in the House 88-10. The bill prohibits operation of a motor vehicle while using any personal communications devices to text or read text messages.
Article’s allegations raise questions; will not be considered in Fuller case
In addition to the four felony charges against Willie B. Fuller, a Style Weekly article, printed Feb. 18, reported that the suspended VCU police chief had complaints issued against him that raised concern and led to a review within the department. The incident occurred in 2005, and complaints were based on findings said to be “sexually explicit in nature.
Va. stimulus means VCU relief
Gov. Tim Kaine announced on Feb. 16 that Virginia’s expected $1.2 billion portion of the stimulus package means further cuts might be unnecessary. The package includes $985 million to fund education. The money comes with the condition that it is dispersed over the course of two years and split between grades K-12 and higher education.
