They
Wouldn't Vote Us Homecoming Queen
by Matt Egan
The U.S.A. is the most powerful and richest country in the world. It produces
some of the most popular music and movies, as well as many of the world's most
successful companies. It also gives more foreign aid than any other country in
the world. So, you'd think the United States would easily win a global popularity
contest, right? After studying abroad, Matt Egan was surprised to find the answer
is no.
Angry
In Aruba
by Jacqueline Tutela
Last May, news services buzzed about the disappearance of Natalee Holloway in
Aruba. Six months later, it's hard not to be angry at the Aruban authorities for
the way they handled the case. Jacqueline Tutela has traveled to Aruba the past
three summers. She thinks the Aruban government is partly at fault; from the repeated
detaining and releasing of suspects, to the blatant lack of care for evidence.

Racism
Still Lingers
by Melissa Hernandez
It was a night like any other night on campus. As a group of students huddled
in a car and made their way to a bowling alley to share a night of socializing,
they were followed off campus and into the bowling alley parking lot by a white,
campus police officer who watched them intently as they entered the alley, making
sure they did not do anything out of the ordinary. This could have been a routine
procedure for the officer, who might have suspected the students were starting
trouble or committing a crime. The only problem is that according to these particular
individuals, they were not posing a threat in any way. They just happened to be
a group of minority students.
