Vassar Returns To Perform In Burruss The Virginia Tech community is not a stranger to Phil Vassar’s musical talent, after watching him perform alongside Nas, John Mayer and Dave Matthews Band during “A Concert for Virginia Tech,” in early September. Vassar’s popularity after his short set earlier this school year is why Virginia Tech Union (VTU) avidly worked to schedule his return to the Virginia Tech campus, according to David Silberstein, of VTU. Vassar, a Virginia native and Hokie fan, is returning tonight to once again, musically revive the community in Burruss Auditorium at 7 p.m. Holocaust Survivor To Speak An event to be remembered…Holocaust survivor Nat Kranowski speaks about his experiences only few can imagine at Virginia Tech. Nat Kranowski is a retired Radford University professor and a member of Hillel community, a nationally based Jewish student group on various campuses throughout the country. Fellow representative of Hillel, vice president of Tzedek, Julianna Wind said, “We are very excited to have him speak, as he is going to speak about living here, and dealing with a tragedy when you least expect it.” Behind A Movable Bookcase - “The Diary Of A Young Girl” “I’m such an idiot. I forgot that I haven’t yet told you the story of my one true love.” This is the way in which Anne Frank starts writing about Peter Schiff, in a diary that became known worldwide. But it is not the diary of a regular teenage girl who puts down her thoughts in a journal and hides it from her parents. Neither is it the diary of a teenager whose own responsibility is to do her homework and go to school. Anne Frank’s diary is the diary of a 14 year old girl, who writes behind a movable bookcase that hides the secret annex where eight Jews are living. The hiding place is located in an empty section of Otto Frank’s company and can help them hide from the Nazis after the surrender of the Netherlands. The American Cheeseball Anti-Violence Rally Taking Place On Campus After having many friends affected by domestic violence and sexual assault, Susan Anderson has become a part of the national event called Take Back the Night. “I just want people to know that objects are easier to hit than people,” said Anderson, the faculty advisor for Take Back the Night. Take Back the Night is a rally and march which first took place in Germany in 1973 and was brought to the United States five years later in San Francisco, Cal., when over 5,000 women from 30 states came to participate. “One Woman Show” Hopes To Empower Have no fear, Women’s Month is back! The Women’s Center at Virginia Tech for the past 20 years has put together Women’s Month which includes lectures, videos, workshops, activities, performances and other types of entertainment to celebrate women. One such event is “One Woman Show”, a performance designed to empower women who find themselves in any tough situation in their lives. This show will take place at the Blacksburg Middle School on Saturday, March 29 at 7:30 p.m. Commentary: “The East Carolina Nautical Trade Liberators” The Syracuse Orangemen. The Carthage College Redmen. The Arkansas State Indians. The Central Michigan Chippewas. The North Dakota Fighting Sioux. The University of Utah Utes. These are six schools that have been placed on the Tolerance.org “18 to Watch” list. It is understandable that many of these college mascots may be considered “insensitive” to some members of the Native American community and there is a concerted effort by the NCAA to challenge schools to promote more tolerant nicknames. For example, NCAA President Myles Brand labeled Chief Illiniwek of the University of Illinois as one of the “hostile and abusive racial/ethnic/national orgin mascots.” However, not all of the Native American tribes feel that way. In fact, Florida State received approval to keep their name from the Seminole tribe, who receive scholarship money from the University. Opinion: Learning the Hard Way -VT Fails To Address Truth Regarding Legal Firearms Jonathan Swift said “There's none so blind as they that won't see.” So many people walk around their whole lives with their eyes wide shut. The highest paid, most powerful voices here at Virginia Tech are effectively blind to what is going on outside of Burruss Hall. As the Hokie Nation quickly approaches the anniversary of the shootings of April 16, nothing has changed. False reforms were buried in committees of oblivion and the university painted a pretty picture for the media by placing access to dormitories on the honor system. All in all, there is no evidence suggesting a higher state of safety, and if nothing else, then those who may seek to cause harm have only grown smarter. Tech Makes Second Statement Win, Advances to NIT Quarterfinal  The Hokies showed why they were one of the best defensive teams in the ACC and continued to roll Monday night with their 75-49 victory over UAB. Tech held the Blazers to just 36 percent shooting from the floor, including 3-18 from beyond the arc. Senior Deron Washington completed his task of shutting down All-American candidate guard Robert Vaden. Vaden is second in the nation in three pointers made but had just nine points—going 1-12 from downtown. Vaden’s nine points is the second-fewest he has scored in any game this season. Follow Up: “For the Bible Tells Me So” With approximately 200 hundred people in attendance, “For the Bible Tells Me So” played for the second time at the Lyric. The showing, hosted by the LGBT, Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Caucus at Virginia Tech, took place Sunday, March 22, and irregularly populated the first and second level seating. Catharina Morris, a freshman from Virginia Tech, said, “My parents always were bias and I never knew much about [homosexuals], but I found it very interesting and enjoyed the film.” Discovering New Donations through “Egyptian Expedition” Joey Muffler knows the good the American Red Cross can do in disaster situations. Last spring, Muffler, the President of Delta Sigma Phi [Delta Sig] at Virginia Tech, went to New Orleans to assist in the disaster relief effort from Hurricane Katrina. “The presence of the American Red Cross [in Louisiana] was everywhere,” said Muffler. “New Orleans is still destroyed, and knowing that we are benefiting such efforts as rebuilding that amazing city does mean a lot.” Delta Sig will be hosting their fourth annual “Egyptian Expedition” this week. This philanthropic event is used to raise money for the American Red Cross. Opinion: War on Terror Focused On The Wrong Trash Wednesday, Osama trashbin Laden posted a message on al-Qaida’s media Web site denouncing the republication of political cartoons he thinks insult the Prophet Muhammad. The audio message played along with a still image of trashbin Laden aiming an assault rifle — too bad the extremist geezer and his lackeys only use real weapons in news releases, opting for cowardly tactics such as improvised explosive devices on the real battlefield. Last month, Danish newspapers republished a cartoon that caused uproar in the Muslim community in 2006, one that shows Muhammad wearing a bomb-shaped turban. February’s rerun came as Danish journalists showed their commitment to freedom of speech after police uncovered a terrorist plot to kill the cartoon’s artist. PBTV: Branden Ore Gone From Team
Opinion: Time For A Trade-In? Imagine when you buy a new car – its shiny and clean, embraces the road perfectly, and is brimming with buttons and knobs and advanced features to transform the act of driving to and from work everyday from a chore into a luxurious experience. And we mustn’t forget that intoxicating new car smell. You look at different makes and models until you find the one…the one that has everything you want…the one that will make your life better. Eventually the newness wears off, however, and you begin to notice things that weren’t so apparent during that glorious test drive. The passenger side window sticks a bit when you try to roll it down. The back left tire makes an annoying clicking noise, and out of 17 cup-holders, you can’t find one that will accommodate your morning cup of coffee perfectly. Soon the realization sinks in that this new automobile isn’t as life changing as you once thought. The same could be said about America’s love affair with Barack Obama. My friends, Obama’s new-car smell has worn off. Opinion: Racial Filters Leave History In A Dim Light In America today, we'd like to believe that racism ended in the 1970’s. We'd like to acknowledge that society today has moved beyond this act of inequality and that every child is being taught the peaceful nature of the racially intertwined culture. However, the distortion of events that led to black Americans gaining their rights is a common theme among public school systems in America, especially in the South. The level of education provided to students is often sheltered, constructing the students’ the view of the Civil Rights Movement that state boards wish them to have. Are southern public schools breeding a generation with racial filters distorting the images of the Civil Rights Movement as it truly was? Yankees Game Provides Entertainment and Healing (Video Included)
The World Series is widely believed to be the highest stage for any level of baseball player and one would think that the most successful baseball franchise in the world would think no differently. However, despite the 26 World Series titles the Yankee organization has won and the numerous All-Star players with celebrity status that fill their roster, the men in pin stripes think in much grander terms. “Arguably this is the most important game I’ve played in my Yankee career,” All-Star third baseman Alex Rodriguez said. “ It makes you realize the important things about life and really how fragile it can be. We’re all very proud to be here.” Opinion: What If… As usual, when a “major” trial, especially a death penalty case, hits our semi-obscure part of the world, it is nearly impossible not to pay attention. Very rarely, however, do you see what we saw when William Morva received his death sentence – a snap and a smile. The media had many convinced that Morva would receive life in prison for slaying two upstanding citizens. His tragic upbringing was cited by his lawyers. His passionate and loyal nature cited by his former friends. All of this was supposed to add up to a lenient sentence from a jury removed from the tragedy by 100 miles. Commentary: Feed the Pig The rising cost of gasoline and food are nibbling more and more out of American wallets, but that bite isn’t nearly as big as the one being taken by institutions of higher education. The supposed vehicle to strengthening the economy, education, is nearing its business limits and the only ones who seem to notice are people not working in academe. While the lending industry is begging for government write-offs of its poor choices, student loans are going through the roof. More than ever, it is commonplace to see young men and women going tens of thousands of dollars into debt just for their increasingly obsolete bachelors degrees. Why get a job and pay for school (at least part of it) when Sallie Mae will send a check? Never mind where the money is going to come from to pay back these student loans, just defer them. Interview: Yankees Talk About Blacksburg Visit New York Yankees Manager Joe Girardi and shortstop Derek Jeter are two of the most recognized names in New York. Girardi, who replaced the historic Joe Torre, is entering his first spring season as the team’s manager. Jeter, who is currently batting .317 in his 13th year in the MLB, has played his entire career as a Yankee. He holds the record for most singles hit by a Yankee and recorded his 2,000th career hit becoming the 8th Yankee to reach this milestone. They shared some of their thoughts and views about the game that will take place March 18th here at English Field. Q: You had the experience of playing at Northwestern. Are you excited to see if playing the Hokies at English Field will remind you of your days as a student? A Virginia Tech Hokie Gives Big Oprah Winfrey’s new television show “The Big Give” seeks to give back to those in need and ultimately reward those who perform the charity. Not all of the contestants, however, are strangers to Blacksburg; in fact, one of them is a Hokie. Cameron Johnson, a 23-year-old self-made millionaire, attended Virginia Tech in 2003 – 2004. He was a student at Virginia Tech’s Pamplin College of Business. He left Virginia Tech in an attempt to raise venture capital on his Internet company. Go Home Kristy Lee Cook! Tuesday night on American Idol Kristy Lee Cook had one of the most atrocious performances in the show’s history. The top 12 contestants were to sing a Beatles song this week. Cook chose the song “Eight Days A Week.” Viewers were not expecting her over-the-top country rendition that sounded somewhat like a square-dance number. PBTV: Tech Tip - Laptop Battery Life
The Will Call: Your Ticket to the Game Wrapping up the ACC If you thought with only one game remaining on the schedules for the teams in the ACC (Clemson and Georgia Tech play Thursday night as well as Sunday) that the standings look pretty clear and next week’s tournament seeds in Charlotte seem to be pretty predictable—well my friend—you just don’t know ACC hoops. It’s incredible the amount of shifting that could occur just by Sunday night. If you don’t feel like spending hours looking up schedules, stats, results etc…have no fear; the Will Call has done it for you. Hammerin Hokies Have High Hopes Virginia Tech baseball sports a new look this year, but still has lofty expectations. “To go to the national championship. I want to be in the top eight teams,” said Pete Hughes, head coach of the Virginia Tech baseball team of his goals for the team. The season’s just begun and already the team is enjoying success, having won all four of its weekend home games. Reality Check: This week in reality TV What an exciting week of reality TV! The boys outshined the girls in American Idol, Bret Michaels kicked out the older women, Kimberly walked out on Tyra Banks and Chris March lost his chance to progress to the Project Runway Finale. The men of American Idol really made the women sound amateur. David Hernandez and David Archuleta stole the show with their amazing voice ranges. The Robin Sings? It seems widely agreed upon that this year’s election season started absurdly early. Some stronger-willed Americans might even have successfully refused to recognize the barrage of political advertising, non-stop news coverage, and marathon series of debates. Lucky you. However, it seems that the time has come to officially start this most exhausting quadrennial season. What is the robin for this electoral spring, you ask? Is it the defining of the Republican candidate? No. Is it (hopefully) the final Democratic debate? Nay. Then could it be the Academy Awards and the inevitable political speeches? Not even that. |
NHL: For Sharks, It’s A Feeding Frenzy Is this the year? That may be the motto for all teams at the beginning of the season, but for one team, it has a meaning of struggle and frustration. Annual playoff failures have haunted the San Jose Sharks ever since the 2004 Conference Finals losing to Calgary in six games. They have never been able to get over the hump. PBTV: Hokies Beat U.S. Olympic Softball Team
Opinion: Up A Creek Without An Ore The Hokies entered spring practice having to fill many voids left by the departure of the winningest senior class in Virginia Tech history. Add running back to the mix now. Ole Miss Halts Tech’s NIT Run (Video Included) When the Hokies ran out to a 12-3 start in the first 3:02 of the game, the fans were rocking Cassell Coliseum as it looked like it could be another comfortable win for the home team. The Ole Miss Rebels had something else in mind. The Rebels advanced to the NIT semifinal in Madison Square Garden next week by defeating the Hokies 81-72. Pamplin Hosts Final Speaker Of The Year Virginia Tech's Pamplin College of Business will present its final Wachovia Distinguished Speaker for the school year on Thursday, March 27, from 3:30-4:30 p.m. The event will be held at the Alumni Assembly Hall at the Holtzman Alumni Center. The speaker is Dr. James C. Wimbush, Dean of The University Graduate School and Professor of Business Administration at Indiana University. After earning his Ph.D. in management from Virginia Tech, Wimbush has been with Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business holding various administrative positions. Now, as Dean of The University Graduate School, he oversees master’s and doctoral programs on all eight IU campuses. Commentary: Finally Getting Our Fair Shake As is true of any good young person growing up in the shadow of the U.S. Capitol, there is one thing that I have always wanted to be. For so many reasons, I have been denied this for years. Now, in this most historic of elections, when barriers are falling like so many drunken starlettes out of limos, we might have a chance. That coveted role is none other than… swing voter. Certain states have traditional roles in presidential election years. New Hampshire and Iowa get special attention for being the first primary and caucus. New York and California have huge war chests of electoral votes. Pennsylvania and Ohio are hotly contested “swing states,” also bringing many electoral votes. Florida… well Florida is the screw-up of the family who can be expected to do no more than not bring the Constitution down with it. They get a medal for trying though. Opinion: Time to Ax Axe? There you are, sitting in Ms. Johnson’s pre-calculus class, still jubilant after last night’s daring but successful phone call to the girl of your 15-year-old dreams. You finish your doodling – a fine rendition of Kyle punching Cartman, if you do say so yourself – and the bell mercifully rings, allowing you that 10 minutes of freedom before your next class. You hit the hall, and you instantly stagger backwards. Dizzy and short of breath, you gather yourself and proceed as best you can – not to your locker, but to the school nurse’s office. You’ve been Axed. A Minnesota lawmaker has actually proposed legislation to start an educational campaign targeted at high schoolers to discourage the use of strongly-scented body sprays such as the popular Axe. It seems that the body sprays, which are advertised as some sort of instant chick-magnet juice, are actually causing innocent bystanders to suffer asthma attacks and other problems, such as headaches. A Chance for Change: Take Back the Night Rally and March One in six women in America will be sexually assaulted in their lifetime, according to statistics from RAINN, Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network. In addition, college women are four times more likely to become victims of sexual violence then any other age group. Facts have prompted protests to end such violence. Womanspace, a student-run organization at Virginia Tech, is hosting its 19th annual Take Back the Night Rally and March on Thursday, March 27 at 7 p.m. to raise awareness about this issue. The Artistic Glow Of Science
“Roanoke is literally glowing,” said Nancy McCrickard, executive director for the Science Museum of Western Virginia. Concurrently geared towards achieving her Ph.D. at Virginia Tech for Teaching and Learning, McCrickard knows exactly what this science exhibit needs. Based off a Franklin County native who was fatally injured by his work in 2004, this exhibit has made him and his passion timeless. Sea corals, bumblebees, custom clocks, cartoons, human faces, reptiles, jellyfish, and historic Coca-Cola signs line the walls and suspend from the ceilings. What do they all have in common? They’re glowing of neon. Many who are curious as to how this works should make sure to visit McCrickard’s exhibit, In the Glow: The Science Behind the Art of Neon. This 3,000-square foot exhibit is scheduled to run until May 2008. Commentary: I Am Here To Protest (enter issue here)! Americans do not have enough to do in their spare time. It has gotten to a point where Americans should protest about anything, anytime, anywhere, in every single method imaginable. It has gotten so bad, and so ridiculous; that I want to start protesting about people who are protesting. Though, I’m not sure how I’d go about doing it… Case in point, on Easter Sunday in a church in Chicago, Illinois, a group of people came into the church protesting the Iraq War. Now instead of the cliché, traditional methods such as picketing outside the church, these “innovators” decided to run into the church, squirt fake blood on each other, and screamed in the middle of mass,” Even the Pope protests the war!” It was a different method of protesting for sure. The Easter service crowd was shocked and outraged as these protesters screamed and ran around frantically. Professor To Explore The Paranormal Universe Admit it. Whether you swear you saw Big Foot while camping, or you are positive the mysterious bruise on your arm is the result of an alien abduction, there isn’t one of you who doesn’t believe in something paranormal. The unexplainable is something that has had the human race spellbound since the dawn of time. That’s why Nahum Arav, astronomer, and associate professor in Virginia Tech’s physics department, loves studying paranormal phenomenon as a hobby and is eager to share his thoughts and studies on the subject in lectures. Witnessing History: Upsets Take Tampa By Storm TAMPA – There’s no doubt magic was in the air Friday in Tampa as an NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament record was set with four upsets in the same venue. The NCAA defines an upset as anytime a higher seed in the tournament loses to a team seeded at least five spots lower. The previous record was two upsets at one host city and that has happened several times, but what happened this week was unprecedented and unbelievable. All four underdogs somehow came out of the weekend victorious surely meddling with most basketball heads’ shot at a perfect bracket. “For the Bible Tells Me So” – But Will They Go? Does the bible ever tell us to hate one another? This is just one of the main issues presented in Dan Karslake’s “For the Bible Tells Me So,” which will be shown at the Lyric on March 22, 2008 at 3 p.m. Admission to the documentary is free and the event is open to the general public. The event is being sponsored by the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender, LGBT, Caucus at Virginia Tech and the Women’s Center. This is the second showing of the film. The film was first shown in November of 2007 to a full theater. Campus Covered with Love, Hate When students arrived to campus on March 17 they were greeted with multiple signs with love and hate written on either side; these confusing elements added to the scene around campus were courtesy of Virginia Tech’s Baptist Campus Ministry. The signs placed around campus are an effort by BCM to create conversations about love, hate, preconceived ideas and past experiences. The organization hopes that these conversations will break down barriers and open up the lives of the Virginia Tech community to a new and more genuine faith. Commentary: Ever Wonder What Your Rice Krispies Are Really Saying? Snap, Crackle and Pop may look simple, but they’re really rhetorical geniuses. We use food to convey all kinds of messages in all kinds of situations: good morning, I love you, I’m sorry for your loss, thank you, don’t you wanna be my lover? Oh, sorry, slipped into Spice Girls lyrics for a second, but you get the idea. Tech Clobbers Morgan State, Crowd Thanks Greenberg
The Hokies dispelled any notions that they wouldn’t be ready and excited to play Wednesday night in Cassell after being left out of the NCAA tournament. Tech used its most dominant offensive game of the season, shooting 65 percent from the floor, to take care of the Morgan State Bears 94-62. Earlier in the week, Coach Seth Greenberg donated 3,000 student tickets to show his appreciation to the student body for responding to his efforts to build a basketball culture at Virginia Tech. The result was the loudest home crowd of any game this season. “ What an unbelievable crowd. I thought our student body and community just rallied around behind these kids,” Greenberg said. “I told [my players] before the game that this would be one of the best atmospheres they’ll play in all season.” Rockin’ Launch Party For New Coffee
Javalution Coffee Co. launched its new coffee product for the first time on a college campus last Thursday. The company is now promoting it as the world’s first functional coffee. The event took place at GBJ café in Johnston Student Center from 11a.m. until 3p.m., providing students with free samples of the coffee, bagels, lanyards, and hats as well as a chance to win up to $500 at the Virginia Tech bookstore. The students were also encouraged to play the new Rock Band game that the company set up for the product launch. Thirty Two Flags Will Fly Again The memorial of thirty-two flags standing in front of Blacksburg Baptist Church honored fallen students and touched the hearts of all that saw it. After battling the elements the flags were taken down in fall 2007; however, the church says the flags will fly again. The reasoning for the removal of the flags is just. Over time the memorial became a site of vandalism in Blacksburg. Commentary: Something’s Not Adding Up Apparently, we are in a health war with the fast food industry. Their greasy fries, juicy burgers, and double-battered fish sticks are giving America clogged arteries, high cholesterol, and yes, thunder thighs. Now many “your choice, your fault” advocates argue that it’s not the fast food industry’s fault. Individuals’ have a choice not to consume these tasty treats. I can’t argue with that. During my Whopper chomping and Quarter-Pounder munching days, neither the King nor Ronald McDonald was there holding a gun to my head. It was my choice, and darn it, I enjoyed it. Greenberg Gives 3,000 Tickets To Students Virginia Tech earned the no.1 seed in the National Invitation Tournament (NIT) and will host Morgan State in the first round on Wednesday, March 19 at 7 p.m. in Cassell Coliseum. For that first round game, Hokie head coach Seth Greenberg and donors have purchased 3,000 tickets that will be given away on a first-come, first served basis. “This is an opportunity to show my appreciation for the energy and enthusiasm that our fans bring to Cassell Coliseum each game,” Greenberg said. “I want to thank the student body for their support for their support and the difference they make.” Yankees Take On Tech There’s no need to pinch yourself because you think you are dreaming and do not try and convince yourself you are seeing things because this is for real. The “Bronx Bombers” are coming to Blacksburg to play the men’s baseball team in a spring training exhibition on Tuesday, March 18 at 3 p.m. at English Field. The Yankees will come to Tech to honor the university and help in the healing process after what transpired last April and in doing so they are coming free of charge. Pelosi States Obvious, Reapplies Lipstick Thank you, Nancy “Captain Obvious” Pelosi! Thursday, House Speaker Pelosi, D-Calif., failed to shock the country when her giant face told ABC News, “Take it from me, that won’t be the ticket.” The that she was referring to is a Clinton-Obama presidential tag team. Apparently, it takes a political sex kitten such as Pelosi to make official what the rest of America has already inferred from the candidates’ rhetoric during the past weeks. Maybe it’s her voluptuous, glossy lips or her deer-in-a-headlight eyes or that awesome comb-over hairdo where her bangs hang playfully over her right, pencil-perfect eyebrow. Silly Voters…Issues Are For Kids! That darn radio. While it’s becoming more apparent that the only thing you should look to radio for is just music, occasionally it may bless its listeners with some very useful messages, important learning lessons, and “ah ha” moments that cause the light bulb over your head to light up. Last week I had one of those moments and the light bulb has been on ever since. On one particular station, the radio personality introduced a Black History essay contest. So far so good, right? It gets better. For the essay the students have to answer one question in about 1000 words. “Is America ready for an African-American president?” And, no, this wasn’t a case of white on black racial discrimination. The radio station is run by African-Americans. PSN: The Presidential Sports Network This Tuesday, I’m going to stand in line early for my foam finger and cracker jacks. The presidential primaries have shifted tone this year. The coverage of the primaries is no longer about the presidency, but the wide world of sports. It seems viewers are watching a sporting event rather than the potential future of this country. It’s been odd watching the news and seeing campaigns being compared to a NASCAR race Life on the Bubble
Unfortunately, no one decided to tell the seven incoming freshmen that they weren’t supposed to win. With one regular season game remaining, the Hokies are in position to make back-to-back NCAA tournament appearances for the first time since the 1985 and 1986 seasons. Opinion: Brett Favre, More than just a Quarterback I cried, I truly did. After 17 seasons in the National Football League, Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre decided to finally hang up the towel and retire. It was unexpected; we all thought the man would exit on top of the football podium with his arms raised in triumph. However this was not the way he wanted to go, and to be honest, he didn’t need to go out that way. This is because Favre is more than just an NFL quarterback; He is an American icon, a legend. Commentary: On Illegal Jesus and America Amidst all the political rhetoric we hear during an election year from candidates, some issues are often forgotten, allowed to sit on the shelf collecting dust as though they were classic old books to be read now and again during a lifetime. While Barack and Hillary attack each other on issues of qualifications and healthcare, we must not forget about one of the most significant issues America faces in the 21st century — Jesus. Sure, there’s quite a bit of talk about Jesus, but what should we really do about him? Some people are in favor of building a wall to keep Jesus out of America altogether, while others claim Jesus does the jobs others just won’t do. Heck, Jesus contributes to the fledging U.S. economy. Well, some people say they can’t get entry-level employment in some industries because Jesus is willing to work eternally for nothing. Tech Women Top Deacons, 61-56 The Hokies used a strong first half performance to come away with a five-point victory in their last ACC match up of the season versus Wake Forest. With this win, Virginia Tech (15-14, 2-12 ACC) made themselves eligible for a potential 10th seed in the conference tournament while also assuring them eligibility for post season play. |
