The second annual forum for Portland State’s Student Veterans Association closed with a slideshow showing soldiers on active duty overseas riding in tanks, patrolling territory and walking through dusty, war-torn streets.

Thank you for covering our most recent campus-wide campaign concerning textbook affordability. I want to address some concerns that have been expressed about the full implications of the campaign

Candidates damn corporations that gouge students with pricey textbooks, during elections in the spring. The candidates sometimes present noble ideas, such as starting a textbook exchange program. Other times, they just make empty claims: We will make textbooks affordable.

It was neck and neck–one knockout to one knockout. I was about to beat a videogame fanatic at his own game, but then, in an instant, a frightening metal-faced monster man destroyed my tiny girl-fighter with the short skirt and ubiquitous white panties. In a flurry of kicks and button tapping, I was dead.
