Ole Miss needs a strong judicial body

The 1999 fall semester has seen the creation of several microcosmic judiciary boards. Earlier DM headlines have chronicled the creation of the Inter Fraternity Council's judiciary committee, as well as the Housing judicial board. Most recently, the Honor's College made headlines as it approved its own judicial board to handle incidents within the Honors College.

Honors College Director Elizabeth Payne said that the creation of the Honors College judicial council is nothing new; the new board is merely a revision of the old system.

Money and fame don't give one a mandate to be President

Can anyone tell me what in the crap is going on with all these billionaires and celebrities who think they would make a good president?

Jesse Ventura. Donald Trump. Steve Forbes. Ross Perot. Warren Beatty. Cybil Shepard. All would like to be the next leader of the free world.
