I’ve seen “Revenge of the Nerds” and “PCU” - I know there’s a lot of “basic crap that freshmen deal with in college,” as Jennifer Carboni, director of Bailey and Bryan halls, said in The State News (“Residents react to lewd slurs scrawled through halls ,”SN 9/25). But never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that the “freshman crap” I should be anticipating would include the threat of rape. I refer to the malicious vandalism of Brody Complex on Sept.

Money isn’t everything - to recent college graduates, at least.A survey conducted by the National Association of Colleges and Employers on its Web site, www.jobweb.com, shows a large salary isn’t all that determines what jobs people accept.About 82 percent of the 1,146 people surveyed earlier this year said where the job is located geographically is important to them, while less than 8 percent said location wasn’t a factor at all.Mimi Collins, NACE director of information, said the results were not a surprise.

While I approve of William Robertson’s attempt to add to the debate on school vouchers (“Vouchers combine church and state,” SN 9/21), I find his letter to be shortsighted and to misconstrue the issue. If it were possible to “separate church and state” as he implies, this separation would privilege atheism, which is, in its own way, just as much of a belief system. The above cliché that is thrown about with so much rhetorical glee obfuscates the Constitution’s true intent as I see it.
