20th Annual Hunger Banquet
Submitted by morgan_wills on Mon, 03/01/2010 - 12:25pm.It's time to buy Hunger Banquet (happening this Thursday and Saturday) tickets at the Wilk info desk! The Hunger Banquet is a student-run event which raises awareness among the student body and money for non-profit organizations. Attendees are sorted into representative world-income distributions (ie most people will be sitting on the floor eating rice and beans while a few select people have tables, waiters, and fancy food like tucanos). We are focusing on the celebration of human dignity, particularly in the field of development. To properly express this theme, there will be several musical performances and a man named Martin Burt coming all the way from Paraguay to speak to us. As it is the 20th annual Hunger Banquet this year, we are trying to make it more special than ever. We held a Creative Competition celebrating the theme of Human Dignity, and received over 130 works of art.

Submitted by goodsight on Tue, 01/26/2010 - 1:15am.I am a poor student, but I had a little extra money last year and I decided to invest it into the stock market. It was a good decision on my part because, since I bought, the market has been doing a little better. I’m not rich, —yet.
I think it is a good experience to learn how to buy and sell stocks on the internet for any student or person interested in business. You don’t need a lot to get started, and if you lose money (hopefully just a little) its just education cost.
BYU chances
Submitted by cjm1000000 on Mon, 01/04/2010 - 4:55am.I'm not sure if people use this website to hunt this sort of advice often, but I read another article that helped a fair amount; it just wasn't specific enough.
I'm from England, I'm in my second year of college which I think is the same age as being in your last year of High School (17/18).
I do quite a few extra curricular activities, nothing extreme or majorly extraordinary. Kiickboxing is probably the most abnormal of the lot.
My Dad gave me the idea of going to BYU just a few weeks before we started the University Application process in England. Therefore loving this idea I pinned all hopes on it assuming if I didn't get in, I could apply after my mission and so on.
The NEW Joint in Town
Submitted by Timsierramist on Tue, 11/10/2009 - 12:22pm.Does anybody know anything about the new Craigo's pizza restaurant that recently opened up. I know there is one in Rexburg, ID...but I know there is one in Colorado City, AZ as well.
Which brings me to my question.
I've read a blog and heard a few rumors that this business was owned by Polygamists, but that's all it was. A blog and some rumors (can't remember where the blog is now).
I've been to Colorado City a few times for a drive while I was staying at Zion National Park and I can confirm that there is a Craigo's pizza there (best pizza in the west actually, lol. And it is operated by Polygamist Women). But I can't confirm it's the same exact business.
I'm not going to boycott or protest in front of Craigo's or anything crazy, but I may decide to not eat there if this is the case.
So does anybody know anything?

I am the same Timsierramist who earlier asked about apartments in the Provo area. Much to some of your dismay, I have chosen King Henry Apts for my dwelling most of the school year, with a small gap in July to stay at the Sparks II apartments (I get out of the military in late June and King Henry doesn't accept Fall tenants until late August).
Anyways, that's neither here nor there, on to the question of this post.
Bailout or Bust: Sould Companies too Big to Fail be Broken up?
Submitted by XR4-IT on Wed, 03/25/2009 - 10:25am.Before I start I will confess that economics is not a field that has offered me much interest, but with our current economic environment where we have financial firms that are “Too Big to Fail” I have to take another look and ask myself is a Bank or other financial firm that is too big to let fail, too big to let exist?
Back when I was in High School it seemed that it was explained to me that we had laws that prevented these types of super firms from forming. I remember that back during the Great Depression that government did things like “Trust Busting” and braking up monopolies.
One law that was put in place during the Great Depression was known as the Banking Act of 1933 though commonly called the Second Glass-Steagall Act or just Glass-Steagall Act. This act provided a separation of bank types according to there business, and it prevented a commercial bank from merging with an investment bank, or with an insurance firm.
