Egypt comes alive … well, not literally.

Many people would jump at the chance to see the pyramids in Egypt or the treasures of Tutenkhamen’s tomb. Just about anyone would if given the opportunity to see such wonders up close, but there’s always some excuse not to up and fly to the Middle East?school, work, geopolitical upheaval.

Unfriendly borders

GUSA’s flawed tribute

If you walked around campus yesterday, you would have undoubtedly noticed many commemorations in remembrance of the tragedy of Sept. 11. In all, 3,025 people were murdered on that day, representing 82 countries. What you would have missed while walking through Red Square, however, were the flags of 68 nations who lost citizens.
