Do as I say ...
Apr. 17, 2006A fund-raising gun advocacy group, Friends of NRA, played host to a banquet at Nelson Commons less than two weeks ago, and raffled off memorabilia, camping equipment and, most significantly, firearms. To be fair, the guns were not loaded and exceptions to OU's policies governing the possession of firearms on campus can be made for artistic reasons or other reasonable circumstances, according to John Burns, OU director of legal affairs. Despite the responsible oversight of the Friends of NRA, OU should reconsider its approach when handing out exemptions to its policies, lest it rightly be accused of hypocrisy.

And we're spent
Apr. 17, 2006March 2006 is officially the U.S. government's highest spending month of all time. The Treasury Department revealed last week that the federal government spent $250 billion in March, which surpasses the previous record set only a month before.
