A while ago I wrote a column about the tragically growing trend of young murder victims due to their real or perceived gender transgressions ("Day offers remembrance, reflection on life's struggles", SN 11/21). The numbers are ever soaring, the victims and perpetrators alike getting younger, the murders ever more brutal.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has still got it. After 12 years, Schwarzenegger dominates his role once again as the Terminator and is undoubtedly successful. Without James Cameron on board to direct and Edward Furlong and Linda Hamilton to save the day, "T3" shines as a suitable legacy to their work. The T-101 (Schwarzenegger) has been sent back to the present once again to prevent the death of future resistance leader John Connor (Nick Stahl) from Skynet's faster, stronger and smarter terminator, the T-X (Kristanna Loken). The T-101's mission also is to protect innocent veterinarian Kate Brewster (Claire Danes), whose life also is intertwined - though less importantly than Connor's - in the path the future takes after Judgment Day. Together, John and Kate realize Judgment Day is coming sooner than they expected - within three hours.

But some students say the promise is too little too late. Telecommunication junior Chris Covington said trying to check e-mail that is rarely there is a nuisance, especially for off-campus students. "I've been trying to get important e-mails for the past few days." he said.
