Open Forum Event

Last Tuesday at noon, the Student Government Association (SGA) executive board and many of the senators gathered in the Main Classroom atrium for what was called an open forum. The event was designed by one of the newest members of SGA. Instead of having a forum where the senators and executive board discuss specific topics, the open forum had no specific agenda other than to learn more of what the students want and make it easy for them to meet their representation.

A Passion for Fashion: The Basic White T-Shirt

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 05:00:00 GMT

Upon waking up every morning, we have a decision to make about what to wear. Like most campuses across the nation, here at Cleveland State students seem to avoid getting dressed. Okay, not literally dressed, but the choice of wearing anything found in a magazine seems to be out of the question.

I Wrote This On My Phone

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 05:00:00 GMT

Whenever the discussion of the advancement of technology comes in to play, the first thing that pops in to my mind are the slovenly bloated human beings floating around on TV-screen-recliners as the world passed them by in Disney's "Wall-E." Normally, I steer clear of kiddie movies, but for those of you who haven't seen it, its surprisingly dark, and holds up just the right kind of big ugly reflection in the mirror.

Opening Statements

Can't we just be on Spring Break already? With so much work to do before break comes and midterms to study for, it seems as if it will never come.

I feel like I do when nearing the last few weeks of the semester when I have to make the final push to finish off the semester and feel I did my best.

When a "Killer" Idea Goes Horribly Wrong

Unless you've been living under a rock (or stacks and stacks of our missing Cauldron issues�we WILL find you�) this past week, chances are you've already heard this story.

DATELINE: SeaWorld - Orlando, Fla. Tillikum, a 12,000 pound male Orca (better known as a Killer Whale), after performing an evening show inexplicably kills his trainer.

An Inside Look at Your New Student Center

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 05:00:00 GMT

Articles upon articles have been written about the new student center. However, very few students have actually seen the inside. The Cauldron met up with University Architect Edward Schmittgen to give you an inside look at your future "living room."

A Legend in the Making?

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 05:00:00 GMT

NASCAR has seen its fair share of good racers including, but not limited to: Jeff Gordon, Mark Martin, and Dale Jarrett. But only a handful of these racers have had what it takes to be called "great." One of the greatest, whose life was unfortunately cut short, is Dale Earnhardt--but is there someone better than he was? The young Jimmie Johnson is coming up through the ranks and is beginning to establish himself as one of the top racers, but is he becoming a legend?

Looking at Earnhardt's history, he started out in 1979 and won rookie of the year.

Less Than 100 Days To Go

Ok, so what did you expect?

The United States men's national soccer team never scored against the Dutch coming into this week's international friendly, but the US played quite nicely against one of the best teams in the world. Before you crinkle up this paper because I am going writing another soccer column, understand that this sport means so much too many of us living around this nation.

Freshman Tim Kamczyc led the Vikings with 20 points and six rebounds in 38 minutes, and junior Norris Cole had 16 points, five assists, and three rebounds and steals each.

Concert Picks of the Week

Spring break, so...close.

I know we're all crawling desperately toward that week of school-less frenzy. Some of us will be off to warmer climates. Some of us will be partying it up at the St. Patty's Day parade. Some of us will be doing homework (Alexes).

In the Blood

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 05:00:00 GMT

For the past two weekends, including Thursdays, the CSU Dramatic Arts Program has been presenting the play In the Blood in the CSU Factory Theatre. The performance gave a true look into the poverty that exists all around us.

The premise of the play by Suzan-Lori Parks is intriguing as a look at the way the poor are really treated in our society.

Now Hear This!

You. You, and that astonishingly graceful happy-dance you do after seeing an A on your returned midterms. Cleveland's best kept secret?

Well, no, probably not. For a phrase so often thrown around, determining whether or not the item in reference qualifies for the hallowed 'best kept secret' status is hardly a process of scientific rigor.
