In taking a roundabout way back to campus one day, I drove by Chester County Planned Parenthood on South Wayne Street. It must have been the day they do abortions, since there was a protestor outside. Everytime I have seen any protestors there, it usually consists of one or two people holding handmade signs.
It is officially four months after the election, six weeks after President Bush?s inauguration, four weeks after the State of the Union address and still some campus residents have Kerry/Edwards placards in their windows. I know what you are thinking: "What sore losers! They can?t let go!" Your thoughts may be true; however, that is not how I feel about this situation.
My experience with unions on campus has been an eye opening one. In my three years here, I have had strong dialogues with maintenance workers, faculty and non-faculty staff. All three of those groups are in their respective unions, which at some point during the last three years were involved in negotiations with the State System of Higher Education (SSHE).
If Pearl Jam?s "Alive" was the air raid siren, then the silence that followed the final Y-100 station ID at midnight last Thursday signaled the deafening blast of the atom bomb. The FM apocalypse hit the modern rock demographic hard last week, as The Power 99 wannabes, 103.
