In the latest installment of Sam Houston's never-ending parking saga, the King Hall lot has been officially split to accommodate both green and blue parking permits. The lot is located on Bearkat Blvd. and Avenue J.

The lot has been split by a physical barrier.

Best things in life really are free

Reginald Wright looks ahead at the 46 students in front of him in line at the Baptist Student Ministry on campus. Though the ministry is a religious group on campus, it is not the worship that has made BSM a fixed part of Wright's Wednesday routine; it's the free food.

The long and winding road

Tue, 29 Apr 2008 04:00:00 GMT

"College is the best four years of your life, because after that, you're [expletive deleted]." Funny but true, this quote by Mr. Lewis Black illustrates the point many fail to recognize while in college. These moments, these memories, should be the most carefree and hedonistic in our lives, living without consequence, which when we later tell our children about our escapades in college we can dismiss as lapses in judgement because "we were in college".

As I sit here at my messy desk, taking a moment to appreciate how long it took to toilet paper Brad's corner of the office, I find it hard to believe this is my last issue as Editor. I've been with "The Houstonian" for three years now, and as my path comes to an end, I find myself feeling lost and weird.

This school year has been exhausting. I took way too many hours each semester and lost way too much sleep over assignments and obligations. However, this year was also one of the best out of the three I have spent here at Sam.

In the fall, I was intimidated by The Houstonian.

I'm not really good with good-byes. At the same time, I'm not one of those "leave the money on the dresser and sneak out" types either so I'll make this fairly straightforward.

Between the deadlines, the jokes, the stories and the people, this place is going to be hard to forget.

Bye, bye, Blackman

Tue, 29 Apr 2008 04:00:00 GMT

From all of us at 'The Houstonian,' your presence and wisdom will be greatly missed. Thank you for your continuous guidance, patience and humor. We will never forget the lessons and advice you have bestowed upon us. The Department of Mass Communication is truly losing an experienced and talented faculty member.

Anything Boys Can Do, Girls Can Do, Too

One weekend I was taping up for the first game in the rugby tournament the SHSU Women's team was invited to. I was all pumped up and ready to beat some chicks when I saw a man turn to the women next to him and ask, "Are they going to tackle?"

For a moment I stood there perplexed at the question.

Mad Brad: So Sublime, Summer Time

Tue, 29 Apr 2008 04:00:00 GMT

Once again summer's blazing horizon is upon us, and another semester nears its sunset.

It's the same aura every year at the end of the spring semester. We sit at the edge of our seats waiting for previews of summer blockbuster hits, but aren't quick to forget the mad rush of last minute assignments and the inevitable finals week.

SGA Results Are In

In the opening sentence of John F. Kennedy's inaugural address, he states, "We observe today not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning signifying renewal, as well as change." Kennedy's quote characterizes my viewpoint on the transition that has undertaken the Student Government Association for the 2008-2009 school year.
