Legend's View:

Bring them back from Iraq

Remember when the Iraq War ended? May 1, 2003.
President Bush assisted in a dramatic landing of a Navy Plan onto an aircraft carrier.
Dressed in a Green Flight suit, he met a cheering crowd who gathered under the banner, “Mission Accomplished.”

Pepsi bottle, cell phones replace studying

I am a “non-traditional student.” In fact, they have a special category for me here at MCC. I am a “re-entry student.”
What that really means is that I am older than the vast majority of my classmates.

 


A better life for all

Most people would answer yes to such a question. It almost seems silly to ask. However, what if the student is an illegal immigrant? Would your position change?

 


Too attached to technology

I would be willing to bet my hard-earned money that the next time you walk into any Starbucks, at least one person will be surfing the Internet on his or her laptop, another will be listening to music on an iPod, and three will be talking on cell phones, while making edits on their palm pilot.
