towards them, but not loud enough that they would hear it. Or, I have seen the
same thing vise-versa.
Institutional racism plays a big role on campus. One example is at the

Number of words: 415 - Number of pages: 2.... want of the media to capitalize on the opportunity to instill in us some sense of pathos, but to take on the persona of the "older brother" with regards to how the media mediated this event was wrong in my eyes. By "older brother" persona I mean that they bullied us into believing what they believed. First we were supposed to be angry and horrified that something like this could happen in such a small town.

Okay, we get a boyfriend or girlfriend, now everything should be perfect.
But, it's not perfect, because life never is. It is easy to become

When that happens, the .....

Environmental Pollution Concerns Come To Forefront
Number of words: 1051 - Number of pages: 4.... in El Dorado County, county officials say.
The problem at EID, state health officials say, is that after the district filters water drawn from the American River, it stores the water in small reservoirs open to the elements.
