This year, my mother is especially excited for her birthday. She is excited because, in her words, she gets to claim at least two historic events on her birthday, one of which is occurring this week.

Signs of Loyola Marymount's tremendous growth are everywhere. A stunning new addition to the Burns Fine Arts Center is almost complete, the Hannon Library is well on its way to being the envy of universities everywhere and the athletics department has moved its coaches to state of the art offices in the Leavey Center.

The surest way to make a young adult do something is to tell them not to. It stands to reason that college students who have escaped Mom and Dad's watchful eyes are ready and willing to do everything they couldn't at home.
But what if drinking alcohol wasn't forbidden to the pre-college crowd?
The Amethyst Initiative is a petition signed by more than 100 university presidents and chancellors nationwide that supports lowering the drinking age from 21 to 18.

It was once engraved in a tablet, "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, or male or female slave, or ox or donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbor."
The person or mysterious omnipotence that chiseled all of that into a slab probably did not do it out of sheer boredom.

A year ago a daily parking permit cost a dollar, but since the Spring '08 semester parking costs have risen dramatically to two dollars. We at the Skyline View don't believe it should rise this much despite the reasons offered by school administrators.
Currently the school is undergoing budget difficulties because the parking fund has acquired a deficit.

There's always some kid with a cool parent. Cool parents drop their kids off at school on motorcycles, pick them up from geometry class early to take them white-water rafting and let them eat twinkies for dinner whenever they have friends over.
When it comes to parenting, coolness is defined by a general disregard for safety, because the safety of their children is something most parents monitor with an obsessive compulsion that defies reason.

I used to live in a box. When I was younger, I wintered in a pink laundry basket and remodeled with kitchen chairs and knitted blankets to make a one-bedroom fort. In the summer sometimes there'd be a box and I lived in the box, a modest loft really.
Location was good, right in front of the television, about a crawl to the bathroom, two to the kitchen.

Hello Spartans and welcome back. Not to be the bearer of bad news, but the summer break is over now, and it's time to go back to all this learning we've committed ourselves to.
Calm down. Put down the chair. I'm just the messenger.

A few years ago, an old acquain-tance of mine was in an accident. He and a few friends got drunk at a nearby lake, and on the way home, he rammed a pole, killing two of
his friends.
He was only 20, and condemned to six years and four months in prison for vehicular manslaughter, and a lifetime as a murderer.

In a time when the "war on drugs" can be considered a huge waste of time and resources and smoking pot is considered mainstream, how does the owner of a community-welcomed medicinal marijuana dispensary get arrested and convicted of multiple felonies? As the Mustang Daily reports on the front page today, Central Coast resident Charles Lynch was found guilty last week on all federal counts for selling medical marijuana from his dispensary in Morro Bay.
