Last Sunday evening, I was lucky enough to catch Michele Obama's recent speech in Indiana on C-Span; and, between hooting and hollering about how many of her points I agreed with and thinking "I'd love to see Cindy McCain try and deliver a speech like this," my cousin sent me a instant message demanding I immediately change the channel to CNN.

In late April, United Cab Company stopped providing free rides for those too drunk to drive home from the popular USF-adjacent bar, University Area Hangout (UA). United owner Nancy Castellano said people were abusing the service, called Alert Cab, by going out with the intention of using it to avoid paying normal fares.

Re: "Animal testing at University remains controversial," April 23 Thank you for your article on concerns over the use of animals in experiments. Contrary to University assurances that checks and balances in the system ensure ethical treatment of animals, numerous federal reports indicate that facilities routinely violate even the minimal protections of the Animal Welfare Act (AWA), the only federal law that provides protection for animals in laboratories.
