Voice of the People: Snoozing in Class January 15, 2008

As you all well know, sleeping in class is a pastime at this school. Over the years the faculty and administration has made more strict rules regarding this. Still, students sleep in class. There are students that know they will get in trouble for sleeping in class, and go to sleep any way. The problem with this is when students go to sleep they miss out on class.

One of the most popular summer movies of 2007 was Knocked Up, a romantic comedy starring Seth Rogen (who also starred in comedy Superbad) and Katherine Heigl about a 23-year-old slacker who finds out that his own-night-stand is pregnant. Knocked Up grossed nearly $30 million during its first three weekend in theaters. However, despite the popular movie’s success, it shows men and women in very different—and somewhat sexist—lights.
