2008 Woodie Awards
10/24/07 - In the midst of vandalism to campus signs, state layoffs and little funding for the university, one couple has stepped to the plate. Last week President Robert L. Carothers and his wife, University College Dean Jayne Richmond, donated $100,000 to the school to build a new International Center for Students and Scholars.
10/24/07 - Armed with incoherent logic, appeals to emotion and outdated ideas, the political left on campus showed this week that it continues to value winning the offensive political war it has waged on President George W. Bush more than winning the defensive war Islamo-Fascists have waged on them.
10/24/07 - To the Cigar, "The Islamo-Fascists are friends to no one on this Earth," according to Joe LiVolsi. I am a white, Christian, American and proud of it. However, the reason I must specify this to LiVolsi is because it seems that he would care.
10/24/07 - To the Cigar, Last Thursday I awoke to read my e-mail and find the editorial titled, "Student-athletes cheat the system." First and foremost I realize that in writing this letter it only seems self-serving as I am writing from a student-athlete point of view.
10/24/07 - To the Cigar, We acknowledge the University of Rhode Island's College Republicans for their previously stated support of women, gays, Christians, Jews and non-religious people. We share their support of these groups, and we deplore any violence, intolerance, repression or hate directed against any group of people.
10/24/07 - To the Cigar, I must admit that after a solid month and a half of silence, I found myself pondering the absence of the University of Rhode Island's Grand Old Party from the headlines of the Cigar. I felt a void; I missed their antics in much the same way one misses waking to the soothing melody of jackhammers outside one's window each morning.
