I'm worried, people. Gas is at $4 a gallon. Our government is acting like Daniel Day-Lewis when it comes to oil. We need a solution, and we need it quickly. We're the United States, for crying out loud! How dare we pay the same price for oil that other countries have been paying for years? When will some brave, courageous and uncomfortably attractive individual come along with the answer?
That time is now.

I'm pretty sure one flew into my head when I was sitting on the dock here in Chautauqua, N.Y., about a week ago. I also found one smashed on the ground of the newsroom where I work. I may have run it over with the wheel of my chair. When I left our front door open a few nights ago, one almost flew into our house.

Pretty much nothing about my life is "green." When I drive my mom's car, it's not running on grease and our house isn't solar-powered. Sometimes, when I can't find a recycling bin, I'll chuck my pop can in the garbage. But I appreciate the idea of going green.

In his June 27 letter to the editor, Lux Gurusamy wrote: "Marriage is not just a religious symbol or social status or even a spiritual status. It is an identity. It is an identity that has been present ever since time began. … Our ancestors, who were relatively smarter than us, never fooled with that identity.

With the availability of community lounges already evaporating due to the campus housing crunch, the university seems poised to make a decision that would deprive students of a quiet place to study, a vitally important resource. Cutting the late-night study service - always popular among students cramming for exams, rushing through term papers or just looking for a quiet place to read - would leave students in the dorms with scant few areas to study and work after the sun goes down.

I lost access to my Facebook account for five days recently, and I thought it might be the end of the world. What would I do after checking my Gmail account? I was at a loss. But an amazing thing happened: absolutely nothing. People still pick up The Diamondback solely for the Sudoku and crossword puzzles, the McDonald's in the Stamp Student Union still serves Pepsi, and our basketball team is still, well, our basketball team.

Boycotting the U. of Perelman
To the Editor:
The renaming of Logan Hall to Claudia Cohen Hall is really an outrage because it was done without forethought. Perelman donates his money and expects something named after him or a member of his family.
Why not rename the school as University of Perelman instead? Because that is where it's headed with Perelman's money.

Until we can proudly show university donors the decor in Debartolo Hall, purchasing new land is not an absolutely defensible move.

Elite universities don't cut off students from the rest of society - Ivy-goers must do that themselves.
