August 28, 2007SGA members resignTwo members of the Student Government Association at Radford University resigned their posts this week. Robert Lataille, who students elected as their president in Spring 2007, said a judicial probation led to his resignation. He said it stemmed from allegations he stole $1.50 worth of office supplies. The SGA vice president of student finance also resigned her position. Regis McKoy and Juliann Abercrombie have been promoted to those spots through a student senate vote. Both students who resigned are still enrolled at Radford. August 27, 2007Greek - Episode 8Campus love, a kind of burning, itching sensation. But, you know in a good way. Wise words from our favorite hungover frat boy whose idea of drowning his sorrows includes strippers. Here's the breakdown for Episode 8 as it explored the theme that tugs at every young person's heart: relationships. August 26, 2007Public VT concert tickets on saleAbout 5,000 tickets to "A Concert for Virginia Tech" will go on sale Tuesday to the general public. Sales of the $65 tickets will be hosted by MusicToday.com and each person can get up to four tickets. The Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer, Phil Vassar and Nas all have donated their time to perform the Sept. 6 show at Lane Stadium. It's an attempt to bring some peace to the university community. But, that doesn't mean the concert won't cost some money to put together. The public tickets, along with corporate sponsorships are expected to pay for some of the cost. More than 45,000 Tech students, staff and faculty have signed up for free tickets and some first responders to the April 16 shootings will get tickets, according to a Tech news release.
Hugh Hefner goes to collegeAnd, this time he's not hunting for the hottest girls on campus to plop in his print product. It'll be interesting to see how many people sign up for the latest social-networking site. August 20, 2007Greek - Episode 7OK, admit it. You cried. The sappy, "who will Casey choose" storyline was bound to pull at the heartstrings of any {girl] who has been conflicted in love. Or, something like that. Here's episode 7's breakdown ... August 16, 2007Online forum to talk about campus securityThe day after holding a statewide conference on campus security, Gov. Tim Kaine's office announced the creation of a web site where "members of the Virginia college community," can discuss campus security. Go here for more information and to register to have access to the site. The governor's panel on the Virginia Tech shootings is expected to release a fairly thick report on the work it's done this summer in the next week or two and Tech's own internal review is also scheduled for completion soon. Security is one of many topics expected to be covered in those reports. This forum seems to be an attempt to keep the conversation fluid and share information more between universities. August 13, 2007Greek - Episode 6Did tonight's episode even have a point? Where was the college-themed lesson we've grown to love and expect? Maybe in two months I'd buy the creepy, Halloween-style show, but odds are even against that. If it were midterms, tonight's episode would mean some serious extra credit for Greek's creators. It was like the Scooby gang (yes, Velma and Fred, not Buffy and Xander) trotted off to frat row. But, I'll give ya the breakdown nonetheless ... August 6, 2007Greek - Episode 5Our little boy's all grown up, and committing felonies for the sake of a solid party. But, at least Rusty went home from tonight's episode with an obligatory heart-to-heart with coconut-bra clad sis... and a hot girl. Here's episode 5's breakdown ...
