November is national lung cancer awareness month, and on Thursday November 20th, Colleges Against Cancer and UC’s Student Government will be partaking in the American Cancer Society's "The Great American Smokeout".

It’s 6:15 PM on a Saturday evening in October and I’m sitting in an empty 4^th grade classroom grading papers. After the scores are calculated, it’s no surprise to me that the range of results is rather drastic. Some of my students are achieving at a level that far surpass my expectations, while others are two to three years below grade level. It’s mind-boggling to think that for the next ten months it will be my responsibility to make sure that ALL of these children attain a level of proficiency that will allow them to succeed in the future.

Who: All Students

What: Bus trip to the UC vs. Louisville game. Includes- charter bus ride to and from game, tailgate/food before the game, and game ticket.

When: Friday, November 14, 2008. Leaving UC at 4:00pm. Returning
to UC around 12:30am.

After much speculation and anticipation, the 2008 Presidential Election has finally arrived and it’s essential that us, as young voters exercise our rights as citizens and cast our vote today. The University of Cincinnati Student Government would like to remind and encourage you to race to the polls and vote today.

It is a privilege and a civic duty for us as Americans to vote this Tuesday, November 4th. Undoubtedly, this election is historical with an African American and a woman on both parties’s Presidential and Vice Presidential tickets.

The Hip Hop Caucus, the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network, and Atlantic Records are driving their Respect My Vote Bus to Sigma Sigma Commons Today (Wednesday October 22) to help with the Student Government non-partisan get out the vote program "It's Your Call."

**Update - 51 Tickets are still available!

Student Government, The Programs and Activities Council, and Men of METRO have sponsored a bus trip for UC students to travel at a low cost to the UC at Louisville football game. There is a limit of 95 tickets available for UC students at a price of $40.00 each. The ticket includes travel to and from Louisville and a game ticket.
