BRAVO to Halloween. We can't believe it's already time to break out the costumes, pumpkins and oh-so-delicious candy. With parties Friday and Saturday night, we'll still have on our costumes when we put out Monday's paper.
BOO to rain. Isn't it weird how wet the rain is? Whenever a downpour starts, it becomes painfully obvious how poorly constructed Arizona roads are for handling wet weather. However ...
BRAVO to rain for, as one reporter said, bringing much-needed water to Arizona's crops. We have no clue what "crops" this reporter is referring to, but we do know the state could use some precipitation.
BOO to poor preparation for early voting. Long lines aren't the way to greet people who are doing their best to file their votes early. It's situations like these that make not voting an easy option for some citizens.
BRAVO to the ASU football team. After a comeback victory against UCLA, we hope a win over the California Golden Bears is in the works. Combine a win this weekend with a few more down the stretch, and we may all be smelling ... well, we won't jinx anything yet. While we're talking about football ...
BRAVO to safety Riccardo Stewart. Sports Illustrated On Campus featured the talented Stewart on Thursday for his efforts on the field and for teaching second-graders as a student teacher.
BOO to the "527 groups" and their freedom to bash President Bush and John Kerry all the way up to Tuesday's election. The loophole that allows such mudslinging needs to be closed, and soon.
BRAVO to IKEA for not only providing some cheap furniture for students, but also some cushy jobs. When we heard about tuition reimbursements and health benefits, we suddenly felt a little low on the "cool job" ladder.
BOO to Proposition 200. We join Gov. Janet Napolitano in opposition to this measure. Addressing illegal immigration is important, but this proposition isn't the right way.
BRAVO to the Academic Senate for passing a motion to eliminate restricted withdrawal and extend the time for unrestricted withdrawal. Now we don't have to worry about those embarrassing meetings with teachers where we have to admit we're flunking their class.
BOO ... Gotcha. Happy Halloween!
