CHEERS

It's the end of the semester, and the Review staff has once again
collaborated to produce its list of the best and worst developments at the
university and beyond.

At the top of our list this semester were the strides forward in race
relations at the university.

Not only was a beneficial forum created in the new Greek Council, but both
historically black and white fraternities deserve credit for joining
together in Greek Games.

In sports, the women's basketball team is congratulated for its outstanding
season, as are the student athletes who earned the highest average GPAs in
university history.

Cheers to Student Health for finally offering the morning-after pill,
otherwise known as emergency contraception, and to the Resident Student
Association for advocating condom machines in residence halls.

The Review also applauds the university for taking the time to poll
students on their favored act for the Bob Carpenter Center, and then
bringing 3 Doors Down here by demand -- it's a shame similar events can't
be more frequent.

On the city level, congratulations to Harold F. Godwin for triumphing in
the Newark mayoral race and bringing his reservoir proposal to fruition.

The passage of House Bill 120 -- the Child Abandonment Act -- deserves
praise for giving unfit mothers another option, and the proposal to grant
honorary diplomas to World War II veterans is long overdue.

The Review also commends President George W. Bush for upholding the
controversial Higher Education Act to limit funding for students convicted
of drug offenses.

Finally, The Review cheers senior Rachel White for her efforts to ban
credit card vendors from campus and the Delaware General Assembly for
considering similar proposals.
