SGA
pays for legal advice
The
Student Government Association provides a lawyer at no
cost to students for consultation on topics ranging from
traffic offenses to family law.
Dave
Meyer, a freshman pre-major, said he saved $75 in legal
fees by going to the lawyer provided free of charge by
the Student Government Association.
Meyer went to see the lawyer, James B. Munford, after
he got a ticket for going 93 mph in a 60 mph zone. Meyer
said Munford explained his legal options and recommended
that he ask the prosecutor for a smaller fine or driving
probation. |

Government
can’t hold combatants
Human
rights should be respected
The Supreme Court agreed last week
to hear a case challenging President Bush’s self-assumed
right to hold U.S. citizens without charge and without
counsel simply by labeling them as “enemy combatants.”
The case in question, Rumsfeld v. Padilla, centers around
one Jose Padilla from Chicago who was arrested after
visiting Pakistan. The Bush administration maintains
that he was part of a plot to commit terrorist attacks
in the United States.

Not
fair
Being
forced to move out, find new place to live a hassle
Looking
for an apartment can be a frustrating hassle. But looking
for an apartment at a walking distance from campus, in
the middle of the semester, during a cold winter afternoon,
can make this hassle even more frustrating. |

Lady
Frogs hopping along to end of season
Women’s
basketball team beats DePaul, prepares to face Houston
With
two home wins over the weekend, the Frogs control their
own destiny in Conference USA.
Sunday afternoons are typically a time for rest.
For junior forward Sandora Irvin, Sunday afternoon was
anything but restful. In fact, the only resting Irvin
did against No. 12 DePaul was done by her sweat drenched
No. 50 jersey, which was replaced with a dry and clean
No. 20 jersey after blood stains and sweat left her with
no choice but to switch jerseys. |

Junior
tandem shines in backcourt
The
bond of two talented junior guards has the Frogs confident
and looking forward to a bright future.
Corey
Santee has a bold message for the other 13 basketball
teams in Conference USA.
At 10-13 and 6-6 in C-USA, the Horned Frogs may currently
be sitting in eighth place, but Santee says there isn’t
a team in the conference with a better backcourt than
the one he and Marcus Shropshire form. |

Review:
Miracle on Ice
Disney’s
take of Olympic hockey captures feelings of the time
Disney’s
new movie “Miracle” is based on the true story
of Herb Brooks and the 1980 U.S. Olympic team. All true
hockey fans already know the story of “The Miracle
on Ice,” even though it happened more than 20 years
ago. To put that in perspective, only a few undergraduates
were even born when this happened, but yet the story is
still inspiring today. |
