As an objective member of The Daily Utah Chronicle who's dedicated to the ethics of professional journalism, I'm not allowed to have a favorite U football player. But if you, the most rabid, unrelenting, jump-during-third-down fans are looking for someone to admire, or possibly one day own the replica jersey of, I'd highly recommend Nai Fotu.

In November 2006, SMITH Magazine8212;an online magazine with the tagline "Everyone has a story"8212;began an ongoing collection of six-word memoirs. People from across the globe send in their condensed life stories, and the results range from a modern sort of haiku, to funny little quips, to miniature philosophies

I want a romantic comedy that is both funny and romantic, while avoiding altogether the obligatory stereotypes, the clichés and the predictable plot lines which have been recycled and reshaped for too many years. That's all I want. Can't I have that? Jason Todd Ipson's film "Everybody Wants to Be Italian" makes a noteworthy attempt to give me what I know I can't have, but ends up falling into the unavoidable trap of standard genre filmmaking.

Aside from the effect on students, should the drinking age be lowered? More concern should be given to what it is already doing to the general population. Utah should think twice about the benefits of the stringent liquor laws it enjoys before throwing them out.

Every Tuesday and Thursday from 11:45 a.m. to 2 p.m., Bike Collective Director Weston Edwards and former director Jon Wilkey tag team on the Union Patio fixing bikes for free and talking to anyone who will listen about the benefits of cycling and bike commuting.

Before the Republican National Convention, Kylee Snelgrove thought she was a Republican. But after attending the RNC this past week, Snelgrove was convinced.

Last week the project was handed out to students for free. Unfortunately, the final product doesn't quite live up to the promise. As far as free planners go, Red Pages is pretty decent. But we can't help but feel disappointed when comparing the small planner to the original vision.

Images of free speech zones and riot police arresting peaceful demonstrators spilled out of Denver last week in the wake of the Democratic Party's National Convention. It looked as if the days of '68, when protesters and police battled over Chicago for eight days, had returned. Burned cars, smashed glass and spent tear gas canisters littered the streets of Denver at the end of a three-day orgy of violence.

"Everybody Wants to be Italian" is the mixed-up tale of a Polish fishmonger living and working in Boston's Italian North End who can't get over a relationship that ended eight years ago. Couple that with his Italian coworkers trying to set him up with a lady who they believe is Italian (which in turn convinces him to act and be Italian to impress her) and you can see that multi-ethnic and Freudian humor will be rife
