For those of us that are lucky enough not to be taking full course loads this summer, this week marks the last week of classes for almost four months. Personally I have sighed that sigh of relief that classes are over, and now am looking forward to four months of nothing, except my summer job as a lifeguard of course. ea5a11ae-58df-4313-b34d-990d54f4d581 Mon, 05 May 2008 04:00:00 GMT The Melting Pot 5/05/08 Andrea Mitchell http://www.csucauldron.com/news/2008/05/05/TheMeltingPot/ Opinion/Editorial http://www.csucauldron.com/news/2008/05/05/TheMeltingPot/The-Bullhorn-3368494.shtml ec63eded-4ebd-42cc-844d-cfb08f38e015 Mon, 05 May 2008 04:00:00 GMT The Melting Pot 5/05/08 Laura Dynda http://media.collegepublisher.com/media/paper516/thumbs/t_tzglx6lu.png http://www.csucauldron.com/news/2008/05/05/TheMeltingPot/ Opinion/Editorial http://www.csucauldron.com/news/2008/05/05/TheMeltingPot/Waiting.For.A.Candidate.To.Be.Announced-3368506.shtml As of now, it is not known who will be the Democratic candidate for the upcoming 2008 election. Will it be former First Lady and current New York Senator Hillary Clinton? Or will it be Illinois Senator Barack Obama? It seemed so clear who the nominee would be only a couple of months ago, but with one of the candidates quickly gaining on the other, the result will be nothing less than interesting. 5d2d5f36-06e7-4c72-8ffe-56801dcc6876 Mon, 05 May 2008 04:00:00 GMT The Melting Pot 5/05/08 Laura Dynda http://www.csucauldron.com/news/2008/05/05/TheMeltingPot/ Opinion/Editorial http://www.csucauldron.com/news/2008/05/05/News/Gas-Prices.Are.Steep.Wallets.Are.Down-3368509.shtml We've all felt it these past few weeks. When we go to the gas station the numbers skyrocket on the price calculator, while unfortunately the gallons of gas slowly are added to the tank.

Even some of us are just kicking up our feet for a few months. e9f64c09-6181-4feb-aa3e-598e1fd1bc30 Mon, 05 May 2008 04:00:00 GMT Feature 5/05/08 http://media.collegepublisher.com/media/paper516/thumbs/t_n023i227.png http://www.csucauldron.com/news/2008/05/05/Feature/ Features/Campus Life http://www.csucauldron.com/news/2008/05/05/Culture/Are-They.Worth.A.Listen-3368523.shtml This band has been around for over a decade and I have never heard of them. Well…the name sounds a little bit familiar but not really. As you all may or may not know, this is our last issue of The Cauldron for this semester. It's truly been a great run, so let's end it with a bang. 742b705f-b5ec-4978-b9e0-8203bc70da14 Mon, 05 May 2008 04:00:00 GMT Culture 5/05/08 Faith Larraine http://www.csucauldron.com/news/2008/05/05/Culture/ Arts/Entertainment http://www.csucauldron.com/news/2008/05/05/Culture/Inject.A.Dose.Of.Culture.Into.Your.Summer-3368522.shtml You may think that the arts at Cleveland State University take a long nap during the summer.

That is what both the Cleveland State men's golf and tennis teams did this past week in winning Horizon League Championships. Both qualified for NCAA Tournament play. While both teams enjoyed great regular seasons, not winning their conference tournaments would have left their fate in the hands of the NCAA selection committee to decide if they deserved an at-large bid into the tournament. 2b7068c6-3b41-4dda-986a-71609659594a Mon, 05 May 2008 04:00:00 GMT Sports 5/05/08 Both Win Horizon League Championships to Earn Respective Bids Nick Camino http://www.csucauldron.com/news/2008/05/05/Sports/ Sports http://www.csucauldron.com/news/2008/05/05/Sports/Reids.Csu.Sports.Notebook-3368528.shtml Men's Tennis Wins Horizon League Championship The Men's Tennis team won it's first Horizon League Championship and an automatic bid to the NCAA Championships, defeating the UIC Flames 4-1 on Sunday, April 25th.
