Staff Editorial: Accreditation Process Returns to Howard

Our View: Accreditation is a scary process, but hopefully Howard’s got it covered.

Accreditation. At Howard University, this ominous term strikes a nerve within the student body - a menacing intimidation from the United States Department of Education. Accreditation is the difference between receiving a hard-earned degree, as opposed to a random piece of paper signifying that the last four (or five in some cases) years of your life haven’t been in vain.

Cell Phone Rudeness No Reason to LOL

“Don’t chew with your mouth open!” “Elbows off the table!” “Don’t stare!” These old-world societal etiquette rules, while still applicable, are being heard less as people try to establish a new set of rules to deal with the latest dominant societal system: technology.

As the Blackberry, text messaging and Twitter take precedent over family dinners, verbal discussions and personal interaction, circumstance would have it that rules be developed to help define what is viewed as appropriate and not so appropriate decorum with these technologies.

Kanye West

Staff Editorial:Numerous Outbursts Show Lack of Etiquette

Our View:These things are disrespectful and this is starting to get out of hand.

Raise your hand if you have a question or comment. Think before you speak. Wait your turn. These are lessons we have all learned by the age of six; lessons that Joe Wilson, Lil’ Mama and Kanye West all forgot.

We don’t really have to discuss Kanye West’s outburst at the Video Music Awards (VMA’s). We know just how outrageous his actions were. We know he was wrong, and after watching his interview with Jay Leno, it seems that he also knows he was wrong.
