When the idea of screening potential employees by checking their online profiles surfaced, Facebook and Myspace users began to realize that pictures from last weekend's party might prohibit them from gaining employment.
However, there is a new reason that people performing background checks have for checking these sites: jury duty.

As we approach one of the biggest moments in America's history, we cannot help being proud of all that we have accomplished. As we continue our fight for equality, we are one step closer to reaching that goal. We sure have come a long way from the times of segregation.

Although the economic disasters that the stock market has recently faced caused many Americans to adjust their finances and lifestyles, this is actually the prime time for young people to capitalize on the economic situation and learn how to make financial decisions.

Bringing back memories of Black Monday in October of 1987, the House of Representatives killed the Bush administration's $700-billion rescue package for America's beleaguered financial industry in a dramatic turn of events this week. The 228-205 vote sent the stock market into a plunge and renewed fears that the United States may be facing a protracted recession.

Polls show that despite nearly 11 years of campaigning for the 2008 presidential election (the one between Barack Obama and John McCain) there are still voters in swing states who haven't decided for whom to vote.

Thumbs up ...to Tina Fey. Her hilarious Sarah Palin impression gives at least one reason to watch "Saturday Night Live" again. The jury's still out on which one is actually hotter. ...to the Mets being eliminated from the playoffs. Those whiny, self-pitying dunces had it coming to them.

Why name the new North Campus dorm for an unknown location when you could name it for Rockville?

Cigarette smoking is one of the most unhealthy and most disgusting habits that we still engage in. It makes clothing, hair, and fingers reek of tobacco. It can bring lung and mouth cancer, emphysema, and has brought most smokers chronic bronchitis.
It is also the right of every American over the age of 18.

When I heard a few years ago that middle and high school-aged girls were coming out in droves to watch Miley Cyrus perform, it took me a while to realize that this was the same girl who starred in the Disney Channel show, "Hannah Montana." Likewise, when my roommate's boyfriend landed a temp job as a writer's assistant for Nickelodeon, we both had to ask, "Who's iCarly?"
I can understand the frustration, then, of generations prior to my own in their attempts to relate to today's 18- to 29-year-olds, to put us "millenials" in a box they can understand and quantify - there are 47 million of us in the United States, in case you were wondering.

I am nearly appalled by the circumstances surrounding The LampLighter.
I am not upset by the existence of the publication, nor am I upset about the controversy it has caused, or the changes that have been made to university policy as a result.
What I am upset about is changes that have been occurring at this university as of late have not been a direct result of student action.

I am an alumnus of the university from the College of Engineering, class of 1989. I have been very busy the last few years but finally was able to attend the football game against Albany.
I understand it has been almost 20 years since I graduated but I have always enjoyed sitting in the student section and did so without an issue in the past.

Biden has a chance of coming out the winner of the vice presidential debate, but he doesn't have nearly as much of a landslide chance as many people think. The thought that Biden is so much more qualified than Palin that he will steamroll her in the debate is insanity.

Back in February, amidst the primary campaign season, I wrote an article for this newspaper in which I endorsed John McCain to be the Republican nominee. In that article, I wrote of how he had previously demonstrated his character by sticking to his guns when the polls had him down and how he was a thoughtful leader who occasionally rebuffed his own party.

If you haven't been watching the news, listening to the radio, or reading a newspaper lately, you may not have heard; apparently, the United States economy just jumped off a cliff.
Suddenly, all those banks, private investment firms and large mortgage companies stopped making boatloads of money and found out all that the money they were making wasn't really there.

As college students, we all share some of the same misfortunes - empty pockets, caffeine addictions and the occasional really, seriously crappy day. And on one of those days where mom doesn't pick up her phone, your best friend just broke up with her boyfriend and your roommate is passed out drunk somewhere - sometimes your best bet is within a stranger.

Housing and Dining sent a series of e-mails this past summer to offer incentives for returning students to give up their on-campus housing as a way to better deal with the massive influx of admitted students. First, it offered gift cards sufficient to furnish an off-campus apartment and assistance in finding alternate housing.

After Friday night's first Presidential debate, Democrats envisioned a clear victory for Barack Obama. Republicans envisioned a clear victory for John McCain. Ron Paul supporters were probably happy he wasn't invited to participate in the craziness of the first debate.
