Papa John's has done the same thing. I know of a time when they would not deliver to a mobile home park on Webster Rd.

Why don't you just get a bike?? With a bike, you only have to go stand in line at parking services for 20-30 minutes to obtain your FREE parking decal to be eligible to park the bike on campus without it being absconded by the local parking mafia. AU Rules & Regulations give me super warm fuzzies inside.

Nice article. I'd like to see another one with more about the park's parking situation. I wasn't lucky enough to get a PC permit in the - get this - random lottery that they had to determine who got one. I live just under 2 miles from campus on Donahue Dr. Due to the new parking area, I have to drive 3 miles to the intramural fields, then take the park & ride transit another 2-3 miles for a commute time of around 25 minutes. I could take Transit directly from my apartment, except they eliminated the part of the route that goes straight to campus. Instead, the route goes away from campus and is about a 25-30 minute commute as well. I chose my apartment's location precisely because it was a short and convenient drive. Using my meal card is even more difficult now because making a special trip to campus to eat is completely inconvenient. Once I'm off campus for the day, I'm not likely to come back.

Roger Mitchell's mom went to her grave thinking her son blocked that kick! So many great stories surrounding this game. And listening to the broadcast now, hearing Auburn "turn the Tide"- it gets you excited like it was yesterday.

Too right Todd, I recall that great event. I too miss those days of yore'. My time at WEGL was a fantastic time with amazing training and requirements before a DJ could go on air. We had a full 9 weeks of classes and at least 2 hour-long tapes proving our abilities to mix music, back-time for PSAs, read news and weather, as well as take phone calls and make emergency system broadcasts if necessary. How saddened was I a few years ago to visit the WEGL website and find the roster was mostly full of automated music overnight. I recall the days of DJs not getting shifts due to the amount of people who had a passion to be on radio and do radio. The best times on air were to take requests and do give-aways. I loved talking to other students and being a part of their lives even though I only was there over the air. Really sad to read such things of WEGL. Of course, I am a long way away from Auburn both by time and distance, but it saddens me for sure. Pineapple Bob, '91. War Eagle!

I meant of course SC membership not DC....

Of course you are right about the Security Council but let us not forget that the UN is whatever its members make of it. If they want it to be more effective they can certainly make it so. But do they? As for your solutions: 1. Perhaps by giving all U.N. countries fair representation in the Security Council as well. 2. Perhaps by abolishing the veto system and making decisions via a typical democratic voting process, thereby preventing countries from impeding justice to further their own political motives. Number 1 is unworkable. The Security Council would get even less done than it does now due to having to get 192 nations to agree on anything. But there should be better integration between the Security Council and General Assembly, perhaps having the President of the GA sitting in on SC meetings and reporting back to the Assembly. Number 2 is a great idea but requires the agreement of the 5 veto powers plus an amendment to the UN Charter. Highly unlikely. It's best to attack the problem in steps and the first step should be to increase DC membership to 25 with nations like India, Brazil, Japan and a couple of others getting permanent status. That would be a start.

The mission of the new U.N. envoy to Syria is not only "impossible" but also naive. Perhaps the U.N. sees no harm in sending Lakhdar Brahimi to Syria, but it is utterly foolish for him to be there waiving a white flag in the mist of aerial bombings and intense ground fighting. Indeed, even if peace was still plausible, it would mean loss of power for Assad and his henchmen -- or their answering for war crimes, as they had reached the point of no return to civilized governance long ago. Their only hope now is to fight the rebellion and carve out a chunk of Syria for their refuge. The Iranian regime is absolutely determined to help Assad do this -- which is precisely why the path through Syria has become our gateway to Iran. And let us not fool ourselves: That regime will have to be confronted militarily, sooner or later. The time to do so is now when we have other nations by our side going into Syria. As for Russia and China, these two are reasonable opponents and will do what is best for them -- and the rabid Iranian regime is not much better for them as it is for the rest of us. And like us, Russia and China have given up all hope of taming it. It is foreseeable then that Russia and China will again watch as we spend our blood and treasure to knock out another troublesome regime in the world. A more pressing question is whether we have any stomach left for another war. Assad and the Iranian regime are betting that we don't. But then so did Saddam and Gaddafi.
