Recent FSU transfer student Ste-

Although he has only been part of
the organization for a semester, he

According to a TPD

of the consequences of
selling alcohol to minors.
“Often law enforce-

Researchers used a
point system in order to
compile the rankings.
According to Spags,
colleges were awarded
points across the five
categories: academics,
location/weather, social

Each school received a
select number of points
for each category and
afterwards, the school’s
rankings were figured
out from the highest to-

FSU was noted in the
article for its “surpris-
ingly” strong theatre and
film program and “die-
hard alum community
who bleeds Seminole
colors.”
FSU’s campus location
also played a key role in
its high ranking.
The article also stated
that “Tallahassee is also
a quintessential college
town; quiet and Southern
during the daytime, but
exploding with college
parties and get-togethers
with throngs of clubs and
bars at nighttime.”

KABUL, Afghanistan
(AP)—The war in Afghan-
istan enters its 10th year
Thursday with key play-
ers hedging their bets,
uncertain whether the
Obama administration is
prepared to stay for the
long haul, move quickly
to exit an increasingly un-
popular conflict, or some-
thing in between.
Fearing that his West-
ern allies may in the end
abandon him, Afghan
President Hamid Karzai
has started to prepare his
nation for a withdrawal
of international forces by
shoring up relations with
neighboring Pakistan and
reaching out to insurgents
interested in reconcilia-
tion.
Pakistan, America’s
nominal ally, says it’s
fighting insurgents. But it
still tolerates al-Qaida and
Afghan Taliban militants
hiding out on its soil—out
of reach of U.S.-led NATO
ground forces.
There have been other
important junctures, but
this ninth anniversary is
proving decisive. It’s go-
for-broke time in Afghani-
stan.
Public support for the
war is slipping in the Unit-
ed States and Western Eu-
rope.
Already, the Nether-
lands has pulled out its
troops, the first NATO
country to do so. The Ca-
nadians leave next.
Patience is running out
here as well. Afghans are
tired of the violence, in-
creasingly resentful of
foreign forces. Many won-

has been awash in billions

Britain’s No. 2 dip-

tack in Yemen
SAN’A, Yemen (AP)—
Assailants fired a rocket
at a convoy carrying
Britain’s No. 2 diplomat
in Yemen and killed a
Frenchman working for
an Austrian oil company
Wednesday in a pair of
attacks that heightened
fears over the safety of
Westerners in a country
facing a growing militant
threat.
There was no immedi-
ate claim of responsibil-
ity for the attack on the
British convoy, but the
violence casts doubt on
the effectiveness of the
Yemeni government’s
U.S.-backed campaign to
uproot al-Qaida militants,
who have found a haven
in parts of the mountain-

where the central govern-

that allowed him a lighter
caseload, now finds him-
self in a peculiar posi-
tion, in front of one of his
peers, and with lawyers
combing through his deci-
sions, wondering whether
they have grounds to chal-
lenge them.
Camp, a Vietnam War
veteran who was ap-
pointed by Ronald Rea-
gan, built a reputation
for handing out stiff sen-
tences, including for drug
convictions.
He could face years be-
hind bars on drug and gun
charges. The judge’s at-
torney has said he intends
to plead not guilty.
The stripper, who pre-
viously had a felony drug
trafficking conviction,
had been secretly work-
ing with the FBI since
the spring to build a case
against the judge.
In exchange, prosecu-
tors pledged not to charge
her.
Camp’s relationship
with the dancer, who was
not identified in court
documents, began earlier
this year. A day after re-
ceiving his first dance, he
returned to the Goldrush
Showbar for more danc-
es, and added sex and co-
caine to his tab, authori-
ties said.
Over the next few
months, the two used co-
caine and other drugs to-
gether, sometimes at the
strip club, and the judge
would pay $40 to $50 to
join her getting high, ac-
cording to a sworn state-
ment.
Driver cuts off truck,
abducted Calif. girl flees
FRESNO, Calif. (AP)—
An 8-year-old girl who
was abducted by a strang-
er while playing outside
a Fresno home escaped
from her captor Tuesday
morning after a driver
recognized the suspect’s
vehicle and cut it off, po-
lice said.
The child was found in
Fresno about 11 hours
after she disappeared
around 8:30 p.m. Monday,
triggering a statewide
Amber Alert. Police ar-
rested Gregorio Gonza-
lez, 24, who they said was
a member of the Bulldogs
street gang.
Fresno Police Chief
Jerry Dyer said the driver
recognized the red pickup
truck from media reports
that showed surveillance
video of the kidnapper’s
vehicle.
When the driver saw a
girl’s head in the window,
he cut the truck off and
forced it to stop, Dyer
said. The suspect pushed
the girl out of the car, and
she ran to safety, he said.
The girl was taken to
a hospital in good condi-
tion, but Dyer later con-
firmed she had been sexu-
ally assaulted. The police
chief described her as
“frightened, traumatized.”
Authorities released
the victim’s name when
issuing the Amber Alert,
but The Associated Press
does not identify victims
of sexual assault without
their consent.
Pot legaliza-
tion measure fails
to draw big money
SAN FRANCISCO
(AP)—In a state where
contentious ballot mea-
sures can spawn multi-
million-dollar throw-
downs, no one for or
against California’s high-
profile marijuana legaliza-
tion initiative has raised
much cash.
Most notably absent are
big donations from the
thriving medical marijua-

natural base of support
for a measure being sold
as a way to raise tax reve-

(AP)—A paroled burglar
was convicted Tuesday of
murdering a woman and
her two daughters in their
suburban home during a
night of terror that drew
comparisons to “In Cold

penalty in Connecticut.
The mother was sexu-

youngest was sexually as-

was set on fire.

Legend Bob Dylan rolls into town

HBO spelled
A-M-C
Adam Clement
Editor-in-Chief
My television set doesn’t
get too much action these
days. At least not until Sun-
day nights, that is.
While some may opt for
a “Sunday Funday” night
out, you’ll find me tuned
into one of two stations af-
ter a long day at the office.
And because said office gig
doesn’t quite afford me the
luxury of owning a DVR
just yet, this what-to-watch
decision becomes, at times,
the hardest decision of the
day. Or so I pray.
The two channels in
question—had you been
unable to surmise from this
column’s headline—are
between that of HBO and
AMC.
I’d go into explaining my
case for shunning most all
other basic cable channels
(save for the Discovery
Channel, Travel Chan-
nel and when our ’Noles
play on ABC or ESPN),
but when “grenades” sud-
denly have less to do with
the shores of Normandy in
Band of Brothers and more
to do with those of Jersey
(on MTV, no less), I think
my defense rests.
Though, one admittedly
finds it easy to remain snob-
bishly partial to HBO.
We’re talking about The
Larry Sanders Show,
Tracey Takes On…, Six
Feet Under, In Treatment,
Big Love, Flight of the
Conchords, Rome, Extras,
Curb Your Enthusiasm,
The Wire and, arguably the
greatest drama written for
the small screen: The So-
pranos.
For the past few seasons,
however, the B.O. in HBO
is starting to stink up the
place, and it reeks of medi-
ocrity.
Why do I say this? Aside
from sharing my initials (I
jest, but playing to my ego
never hurts), it’s become ap-
parent—given its ongoing
coup at the Emmy Awards
for the last few years in out-
standing drama series and
lead actor campaigns—the
little network that could in
AMC has become the little
network that has, proving
itself a viable contender in
the Sunday night square-
off.
Home Box Office, on the
other hand, in spite of its
unrivaled miniseries and
documentary features, has
been resting on its lofty lau-
rels as a programming pow-
erhouse of original series.

Bob Dylan and his band will play the Leon County Civic Center Oct. 11
Ryan Rabac
Contributing Writer
Bob Dylan, arguably
one of the most impor-
tant musical figures of all
time, will perform at the
Leon County Civic Center
on Oct. 11. Dylan and his
band will bring with them
a long, storied history and
decades of experience.
His unique, world-fa-
mous sound is renowned
to fans young and old.
Perhaps in an attempt to
teach the younger gener-
ation a few things about
music, Dylan is favoring
Florida’s colleges during
this tour; in addition to
playing at the Civic Cen-
ter, Dylan will be playing
the UCF Arena, USF Sun
Dome, the Don Taft Uni-
versity Center at Nova
Southeastern and the UF
O’Connell Center.
Fans prefer to say that
Dylan is on a “Never End-
ing Tour.” Since 1988, he
has toured relentlessly
every year and has re-
leased new chart-topping
albums along the way.
Now 69 years old, the
music icon sees no rea-
son to quit while he’s still
ahead.
Dylan’s 2006 album,
Modern Times, has sold
over 2.5 million copies
and entered the Billboard
Top 200 at No. 1. His lat-
est, Together Through
Life, was released last
year. Over the span of

Asian Coalition of Tallahassee festival celebrates all things Asian culture
Rebekah Suwak
Contributing Writer
Interested in Asian cul-
ture but unable to travel
abroad, or simply want to
experience the culture?
Come “Experience Asia
2010” in Tallahassee on
Oct. 9 at Lewis and Blox-
ham Parks in downtown
Tallahassee.
The event will run from
10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is
open and free to all ages.
This is the sixth annual
festival presented by the
Asian Coalition in Talla-
hassee (ACT).
ACT is a not-for-profit
umbrella group with over
a dozen associations un-
der it to represent spe-
cific Asian and Asian-Pa-
cific countries, and has
grown immensely from
its humble beginnings of
five charter members in
2004. Committee mem-
ber Thayumanasamy So-
masundaram has been a
part of ACT and the India
Association since 2004.
“ACT provides a forum
for various Asian com-
munities to get together
and celebrate,” Somasun-
daram said. “Since 2007,
the ‘Experience Asia
Festival’ and ACT have
gained prominence and
additional member or-
ganizations because of
the ideal of strength and
unity with numbers.
“Our main goal of this
event is to showcase the
talents of Asian Ameri-
cans and share our cul-
ture and heritage with
members of Tallahas-
see and Leon County.
We hope events like this
will allow a greater un-
derstanding between the
locals and Asian Ameri-
cans.”
The featured perfor-
mance will be by Mat-
suriza, a pair of Japanese
Taiko drummers hailing
from Walt Disney World
in Orlando.
China, Japan, the Phil-
ippines, India, Korea,
Thailand, Middle East,
Indonesia, the Polyne-
sian Islands and Hawaii
will be represented in the
festival.
Entertainment and
demonstrations will be
performed on two stag-
es throughout the day,
and will include dances,
skits, martial arts and
a showcase of different
musical genres from the
countries represented.
There will also be mer-
chants selling various
Asian dishes, as well as
authentic jewelry and
clothing.

went into the studio with
the notion of making their
new record more of a pop
album and they succeeded,
especially with the two
first singles “Ambling Alp”
and “O.N.E.” Compared to
their first release, All Hour

ceived a significant amount
of critical acclaim), the
band has veered off from
their drone-ier and more

compilation include Arcade

Today’s birthday (10/7/10). Fi-

identify what you truly need, aside
from what you merely desire. Work
progresses well as you see pos-

Your optimism increases as you
imagine new plans and execute
them intelligently.
To get the advantage, check the
day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day,
0 the most challenging.

Gemini (May 21-June 21) -- To-

love to go around and extra hands
to make it happen.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) -- To-

between household matters and a
lucky travel opportunity. You can
only take one person with you, un-

you with ideas you never expected
to hear from that direction. Take
time to consider. What seems un-
workable only needs a tweak.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- To-
day is a 6 -- There seems to be
an increase in the internal chatter
volume, like an oncoming train.
Count to ten, then decide whether
to board. You could just play the

dream or quiet contemplation.
Share your visions with a favorite

Soccer hopes to avoid Tigers’ trap
Seminoles look to tune up against Clemson
Eric Zerkel
Staff Writer
Coming off two big wins
against ranked Atlantic
Coast Conference foes,
No. 10 Florida State will
try to avoid a collapse
when they take on Clem-
son Thursday night.
On paper, the game
doesn’t appear to be much
of a contest for the Semi-
noles (9-2-0, 3-0 ACC).
Both teams come into
the match streaking in
opposite directions, with
Florida State riding a
five-game win streak and
Clemson being losers of
six straight.
Florida State has out-
scored opponents 10-2
during the win streak; on
the flipside, Clemson (5-6,
0-3) has been outscored
15-3 during their six-game
tailspin.
Florida State also has
history on their side, as
the ’Noles are unbeaten in
their last 11 games against
the Tigers, posting a 9-0-2
record during that span.

Scott Crumbly
Staff Writer
The questions about
the decline in produc-
tivity in Florida State’s
passing game from a year
ago have become all too
familiar to quarterback
Christian Ponder.
After averaging over
Joseph La Belle, Melina Vastola and Reid Compton/FSView
in their last meeting.
With history and form
on their side, it will be a
tough task for the Semi-
noles not to completely
overlook Clemson before
they head to Chapel Hill,
N.C., to take on the third-
ranked North Carolina Tar
Heels.
But ultimately, their
matchup with Clemson
will be determined on the
field. The Florida State de-
fense shouldn’t be as test-
ed as they were against
Duke, but if a Clemson
attacker does slip past the
Seminole defense, the Ti-
gers will have to deal with
keeper Kelsey Wys, who
saved 15 shots against the
Blue Devils.
Wys enters the match
with national recognition,
having been named the
National Primetime Play-
er of the Week by Colleg-
eSoccer360.com.
The Seminoles will look
to continue generating
offense out of their mid-
field. Senior Rachel Lim
has emerged as a scoring
threat, finding the back
300 yards per game
through the air in 2009,
Ponder is averaging just
168 yards per contest
this season through five
games. This sudden de-
cline in passing numbers
is not at all a product of
poor play from Ponder,
but a product of the suc-
cess the Seminoles have

of the net in her last two
matches. Lim also joined
Wys with national recogni-
tion as she was named Co-
ACC Player of the Week,
while also being named to
Top Drawer Soccer’s Na-
tional Team of the Week.
With Tori Huster drop-
ping back into the mid-
field alongside attacking
stalwart Amanda DaCos-
ta, a Lim-Huster-DaCosta
midfield can challenge any
ACC defense.
The match is crucial
in maintaining Florida
State’s position atop the
ACC standings. The ’Noles
currently sit atop the ACC
standings as the only re-
maining undefeated team
in conference play. With
games against top-10
ACC foes Boston College,
North Carolina, Virginia
and Maryland rounding
out the Seminoles’ ACC
schedule, a victory against
bottom-feeder Clemson
becomes a necessity.
The game will take
place Thursday at 7 p.m.
at the Seminole Soccer
Complex.

The fact is that when

following day.

It’s every kicker’s dream
to come through in the
waning moments of a
game with the outcome in
the balance.
Yet, seemingly time after
time, Florida State kickers
have come up on the short
end of the stick in that
situation when facing in-
state rival Miami.
It’s been so well docu-
mented over the years: the
three “wide rights,” two of
which cost the Seminoles
a shot at a national cham-
pionship; the “wide left”
by Xavier Beitia in 2002
that would have broken
Miami’s 27-game winning
streak. Every Florida State
kicker since has heard
these stories, and it’s a
hurdle unique only to FSU
kickers.
In the case of current
Seminole kicker Dustin
Hopkins, however, he
doesn’t pay much atten-
tion to it.
“I just approach it like it’s
any other week,” Hopkins
said regarding his prepara-
tion for the Hurricanes. “It
is the Miami-Florida State
week, but I just [know]
that the next game is the
biggest game, and this
is the biggest game right
now. That’s the approach
I’m taking right now.”

split their season series.
FSU will look to re-
verse its fortunes from a
year ago, as it lost its first
match against Tech last
season before taking the
second match.
FSU is currently in third
place in the ACC stand-
ings, trailing only Duke
and UNC by one game.
A weekend sweep of the
Tigers and Yellow Jack-
ets would help FSU keep
pace with the league’s top
teams as they head into
the heart of their confer-
ence schedule.

has converted on seven
of his nine field goal at-
tempts and is a perfect 22-
for-22 on his extra point
attempts, which was an
area he surprisingly strug-
gled in as a freshman last
season.
Perhaps more important-
ly, Hopkins has proven to
be the biggest asset to the
team on kickoffs, where
his 19 touchbacks and
57.6 touchback percent
lead the nation. Hopkins’
big leg on kickoffs should
come in handy Saturday
against Miami, as the Hur-
ricanes feature two of the
nation’s most dangerous
return men in junior Trav-
is Benjamin and freshman
Lamar Miller.
Florida State head coach
Jimbo Fisher acknowl-
edged the threat Miami
poses in the return game
and believes his kicker
can help keep the ’Canes’
return men in check.
“He’s accurate and he’s

of Hopkins. “Kickers are
someone you never talk
about, but we need them,
and he’s a great weapon
for us. It helps us on kick-
offs too, because they’re
so good in returns, we’re
going to have to get down

Roundtable: thoughts and predictions

for Saturday’s big game
It’s one of the most
anticipated games each
college football season—
especially here in the Sun-
shine State.
Florida State and Miami,
who have provided fans
with some of the most
memorable games in the
history of college football,
will look to add another
historic chapter to their
rivalry when they get to-
gether Saturday night at
Sun Life Stadium in the
55th meeting between the
two schools.
Two of the FSView &
Florida Flambeau’s sea-
soned writers lend us their
insight on the matchup
and also share their game
predictions—one of which
may be a little upsetting to
Seminole fans.
Nick Sellers
Assistant Sports Editor
When the Seminoles
and Hurricanes meet on
Saturday, it will be a con-
test between two teams
that are very familiar with
each other.
A lot of these guys
played with or against
each other in high school,
and the sting of last year’s
defeat hasn’t dulled for
the Seminoles.
On the offensive side
of the ball, I see no rea-
son for the Seminoles to
depart from the success
they’ve had on the ground
so far this season. Go
with what works. Keep
in mind, though, that Ty
Jones is day-to-day with a
leg injury.
If the ’Noles can get
the running game going
against a tough Miami de-
fense, that should open
things up for quarterback
Christian Ponder to ei-
ther make plays with his
legs or to take some shots
down field. Willie Haul-
stead has really started
coming into his own as
a route-runner and has
become a favorite target
of Ponder’s as of late, as
the duo has connected on
three touchdowns the last
two games.
The return of Andrew
Datko at left tackle would
be huge for the Seminoles,
but as of press time, his
status is uncertain. Datko
usually mans the side of
the line that helps protect
Ponder’s blindside, and
since his departure, it’s
been tackle-by-committee
on that side. Whether he
returns or not, keep an eye
on the left side of the line,
where there’s a chance
starting right tackle Zeb-
rie Sanders may shift to
left tackle if Datko isn’t
able to go.
On defense, if the unit
can continue playing with
the confidence they’ve had
in the stretch leading up
to this game, it’s going to
be a long night for Jacory
Harris and the Hurricanes.
If the d-line can control
the line of scrimmage and
force Harris into passing
downs, his decision-mak-
ing has been questionable
as of late, which could
bode well for an opportu-
nistic FSU secondary.
Four interceptions
against Ohio State and two
each in the subsequent
two games, Harris has 10
touchdowns to eight in-
terceptions this season.
If the defense can force
sacks from the front four
or coverage sacks, they
can disrupt Harris and the
Hurricane offense.
The ’Noles are playing
better, more-balanced
football than Miami in the
recent weeks.
They’re confident, play-
ing with a bit of swagger,
and as long as they don’t
let that go to their head,
they can come away with
a win at Sun Life Stadium
on Saturday.
31-24, advantage Semi-
noles.
Al Buzzelli
Senior Staff Writer
Since 2002, the com-
bined margin of victory
in the Florida State-Miami
rivalry has been a mod-
est 27 points. That’s an
average of less than four
points per contest, so it
really shouldn’t be a sur-
prise that this Saturday
night’s (8 p.m. ET on ABC
or ESPN2) nationally tele-
vised matchup opens with
the Hurricanes being a
slim, one-point favorite.
There will be much
more that meets the eye,
however, than just No.
23 FSU and No. 13 Miami
playing under the lights at
Sun Life Stadium.
Since 2005, when the
Hurricanes host oppo-
nents with kickoffs com-
ing at 7:00 p.m. or later,
the ’Canes are 11-4 and
have won their last six.
Miami hasn’t lost a home
contest at night since late-
November of 2007 when
they were shut out 48-0 to
Virginia in the last game
ever played at the historic
Orange Bowl.
One-sided, arguably, but
if there’s one place you
don’t want to play Miami,
it’s in their house, and if
there’s a game time you’d
like to stray away from,
it’s primetime.
So, why the mere one-
point spread?
It’s because of the Flor-
ida State defense and the
maturity of quarterback
Christian Ponder.
Ponder is a given, but
I bet you wouldn’t have
thought to hear (or read)
the good about the Semi-
noles defense just one
season after they were
ranked near the very bot-
tom of the country in all
aspects.
This season’s defensive
line is stout with their
pass rush (ranked No. 1
in the nation in sacks per
game at 5.0), and their
secondary isn’t as prone
to giving up the big play—
something the ’Noles will
need to stay true to be-
cause Miami’s Jacory Har-
ris has a talented group of
wide receivers who love
to stretch the field.
Outside of Miami’s deep-
ball abilities and FSU’s
strong defensive front line,
you can also expect high
decibel levels from the
crowd and a moderately
ranged scoring game.
Miami protects their
house by forcing turnovers
late and comes away with
a 27-23 win.

breakout sophomore cam-
paign as early as last year’s
season opener against Mi-
ami—his first-ever colle-
giate game. Hopkins con-
nected on field goals of 52
and 45 yards (the 45-yard-
er putting FSU ahead with
just 4:11 to play in the
game) in the Seminoles’
38-34 loss.
While it was a confi-
dence boost for Hopkins,
he doesn’t expect it to
impact him much in this
year’s installment of the
rivalry.
“It feels good knowing
that you did well the year
before, but it’s a different
ballgame when you go on
the road,” Hopkins said.
“I’m really looking forward
to it actually. I heard [Mi-
ami fans] get pretty wild
over there, so we’ll see.”
In the event Saturday’s
game does come down to
a late field goal by Hop-
kins to determine the
Seminoles’ fate, it will be
uncharted waters for the
Houston native.
As many accolades as
Hopkins has garnered
kicking footballs through-
out his life, he’s never ac-
tually kicked a game-win-
ning field goal, although
he’s had an opportunity
before.
“My last kick [in high
school] was a game-win-
ning attempt, but the ball
never got up,” Hopkins
said. “So I never got to
kick it.”
In a rivalry that’s seen
so many games decided
by the kicking game, it
would be a special sight to
see Hopkins have that op-
portunity Saturday night
at Sun Life Stadium.

posing teams, consider-
ing FSU’s running game
is still not firing on all
cylinders.
“It’s very encourag-
ing,” center Ryan McMa-
hon said of having room
for improvement despite
already being success-
ful running the ball.
“You look at the film and
there’s so many plays
where we could have
made a block better and
gotten 10 or 15 yards.
There’s a lot of plays like
that.”
Florida State’s veteran
offensive line is the en-
gine that has powered
the ground game to a 208
yards per game average
this year, but All-Ameri-
can right guard Rodney
Hudson credits the en-
tire offensive unit for
their success thus far.
“We’ve blocked col-
lectively,” Hudson said.
“The tight ends have
done a pretty good job,
and the receivers are
blocking on the edge to
spring those long runs.”
One position that
often gets lost in the
shuffle when discuss-
ing the running game
is the fullback. Florida
State’s Lonnie Pryor has
been an integral, albeit
unheralded, part of the
team’s productivity on
the ground.
At 6-0 and just 209
pounds, Pryor is not your
prototypical fullback,
but packs a punch when
throwing lead blocks.
“He may seem to be
a little undersized for a
fullback, but I believe he
brings just as much pow-
er as a bigger fullback
would,” Thompson said
of Pryor.
Head coach Jimbo
Fisher also had high
praise for his sophomore
fullback.
“[Pryor] does a tre-
mendous job,” Fisher
said. “He lets you do a lot
of different things out of
a lot of different looks.
He can catch it, he can
block [and] he can run.”
Competition at the run-
ning back position has
also been a contribut-
ing factor for the ACC’s
second-best scoring of-
fense, which currently
averages 35 points per
game.
All three backs com-
pete for playing time in
practice each week, and
push one another to get
better. Thompson says
the competition in prac-
tice translates to success
on Saturdays.
“The way we practice
with that nonstop tem-
po, once we get into the
game, it all gets easier,”
Thompson said.
Continuing their suc-
cess in the running game
will be a key to victory
for the ’Noles when they
face in-state rival Miami,
who comes into the game
ranked 12th in the nation
in total defense.

the candidate before they
reached this point, if they
have a populist image,
they are the populist.
While candidates like
Christine O’Donnell are
temala specifically, when
President Jacobo Arbenz
Guzmán was democrati-
cally elected in 1954,
he enacted policies that
would take about 40 per-
cent of the land the Unit-
ed Fruit Company held
in Guatemala (which was
quite extensive). To make
a long story short, after
some lobbying by United
Fruit, Dwight Eisenhower
oversaw a CIA-led coup
d’état that successfully
overthrew the govern-
ment and installed Gua-
temalan Col. Carlos Cas-
tillo Armas as the new
president. It’s important
to note that Guzmán was
the second democrati-
cally elected president
following a dictatorship
that had been overthrown
just 10 years prior. Armas
was assassinated three
years later and, in the end,
rolled in four classes each,
but one could only be re-
ceiving 12 credit hours and
the other 16, depending on
the courses they are tak-
ing.
Most English courses
are only three credit hours,
whereas most science
truly the populists’ dream,
Carl Paladino and Carly
Fiorina are anything but.
Carly Fiorina was the
CEO of Hewlett-Packard;
Paladino was the CEO
of a real estate develop-
ment company. Florida’s
very own Rick Scott had
his dirty little hands in
health care and practiced
questionable business an-
tics, much like there were
some questions on Demo-
crat Jeff Greene’s business
dealings. But if their auto-
biographical campaigns
are to be looked at closely,
all of them are Christine
O’Donnell: the outsiders
who will take Washington
and extend tax cuts that
will magically make the
debt disappear.
Understandably, there

United Fruit didn’t benefit
at all. To this day, Guate-
mala still deals with a high
level of government cor-
ruption.
I apologize for the his-
tory lesson, but it is im-
possible to understand
why people of a nation
feel the way they do with-
out understanding their
history. Many Americans
get offended when people
say bad things about our
country, but sometimes
it’s hard to blame them.
Even if, as a whole, we
are a good people and, as
a whole, we have good in-
tentions, in the eyes of a
victim one negative deed
overshadows a thousand
good deeds. Some feel
that the U.S. uses citizens
of developing nations as
lab rats for medical and
political experiments.
While, as ordinary citi-
courses are four credit
hours. It’s not fair to, in a
way, punish those students
whose majors are com-
posed of courses that are
worth fewer credit hours
than others.
I feel it best to stay away
from this block tuition plan
are politics to be played.
Understandably, Fiorina
is not going to tout her
experience and say she
was part of the corpo-
rate world the Tea Party,
strangely enough, doesn’t
find as sympathetic as its
candidates.
But the undercurrent of
the most popular move-
ment (at least per media
coverage) is actually tak-
ing with it the trust of ex-
perts and the “smart kid.”
While national elections
are perhaps not the most
worrisome in this aspect,
the local and less popular
issues and disputes are.
Like in the Texas School
Board debacle, it takes
very little to do much
damage. The general pub-
lic cares very little about
zens, we probably won’t
know if this is true until
many years into the fu-
ture, I certainly hope that
it is not.
Do we, as Americans,
feel entitled? Do we feel
our size and power gives
us the right to use our
neighbors as pawns in our
never-ending game of po-
litical chess?
I think that—with few
exceptions—most of us
don’t. These acts are ap-
palling to most American
citizens today, regardless
of their position in our
own political spectrum.
The problem is that many
Americans are only con-
cerned with what happens
within our own borders.
They don’t realize that
what happens next-door
can, and will, affect us
in some way or another,
whether we like it or not.
and continue to charge per
unit like has been success-
fully working for years.
There’s no need to bring
this new plan into action
when the reasoning isn’t
really practical and the
outcome wouldn’t be fair
to all students.
voting for lower-level
politics—even less than
the abysmal turnout for
midterm elections. As
such, the wings can easily
rush things through in the
lower level if they are par-
ticularly well organized
(which they are).
Now, when the pre-
vailing thought is one of
distrust for the experts,
academics and the smart
people in general in fa-
vor of a skewed sense
of morality, how much
damage can we handle?
When a dentist from Ran-
domtown, Texas, says that
the scientific method and
its rigorous peer review
system don’t come up with
a more scientific answer
than “God,” where do we
as a nation stand?
