Looking at the recent controversies raging through the National Basketball Association (NBA) one can only ask what is going on with those guys?

With the latest word from Judge Hiller B. Zobel on his reduction of the charges to involuntary manslaughter against Cambridge, Mass., au pair Louise Woodward and his compassionate resentencing of Woodward Monday to the 270 days in prison, which she had already served, the same question arises in our society as it did two years ago when O.J. Simpson was acquitted of double murder; is our justice system working in America?

I would like to respond to the Rob Strauss column in last week's Campus Times.

It was almost four years ago and I was a nervous 18-year-old forced into the University of La Verne's orientation weekend at Pilgrim Pines, the last place I wanted to be. I looked around and saw no one I knew, no familiar faces.

Imagine, the University of La Verne, a small town school with an NCAA Division I athletic program that dominated local universities in every sport. It might be a dream to some coaches and alumni at La Verne, but it is something that should be left for bigger, more financially-sound institutions to deal with.

Whizzing through the realm of time, it is sometimes so rare to find a work of art that can be referred to as a classic. The "Mona Lisa," Monet's "Waterlilies," though objective and silent, have kept their rarity through the course of time, but lack the fire and energy to appeal to a new wave generation such as ours. No, Generation X, we must identify and cherish the classic art we recognize through growing up in the '80s and '90s which can be perfectly epitomized by the re-release of the "Star Wars" trilogy in movie theaters.
