		<description><![CDATA[Increased research into violent video games has been called for in the wake of the  Dec. 14 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut. The massacre prompted a debate that blames violent video games for these events. Wade Elmore, a UMKC psychology graduate student who is writing his thesis on the topic, believes otherwise.
&#8220;I think scientifically speaking we can’t make that connection. We have a lot of evidence suggesting there is increased aggression in the laboratory, but that is not the same as real world violence. We just haven’t gotten to the point where we can actually connect what we see in the lab to what might be happening in the real world,&#8221; Elmore said.
Elmore gathers information relating to violence in video games by using what is called the &#8220;emotion modulation of startle.&#8221; He exposes participants in the study to a series of pictures, both positive and negative, ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For college students, being broke can become a fixed characteristic in much the same way as being female or Caucasian. It’s an immediately perceivable trait: tall, blonde, broke. There are stereotypes associated with the just-getting-by lifestyle, like 5-year-old shoes, substituting hand lotion for hair product, and  knowing many generic substitutes to name brand products. To those living above the broke-student class line, the persistently poor can sometimes be a difficult lot to understand.
What’s most bothersome to the broke is being repeatedly put in situations where one has to restate their meager means. When a more uptown friend wants to meet at a bar that serves nothing under $8 and charges $10 just to enter, the broke buddy has to explain in vague, dodging terms, that they can’t afford it
From my experience, here are a few tricks to dealing with the blindly more moneyed. First, you can lie. &#8220;I actually have ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Founded at Howard University by 22 African American undergraduates on Jan. 13, 1913, the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority has grown to over 200,000 members. Notable Deltas have included civil rights activist Mary McLeod Bethune, singer Aretha Franklin and politician Shirley Chisholm.
Delta women have marched for women’s suffrage, participated in public policy in the nation’s capital and hosted mentorship and service programs – all in an effort to create change within their communities. Past President, Cynthia M.A. Butler-McIntyre, noted at the fiftieth national convention two years ago that, &#8220;Delta Sigma Theta is not a monument but a movement.&#8221;
In Kansas City, a citywide chapter of Delta Sigma Theta provides membership to students at UMKC, William Jewell, Rockhurst University, Avila University, and Park University.
The Lambda Epsilon City-Wide Chapter of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority was chartered March 16, 1974.This year marks the 100th anniversary of the inception of Delta Sigma Theta.

		<description><![CDATA[To the editor,
People with disabilities have rights too!  Americans with Disabilities need the CRPD.  The Convention on the Rights of Peoples with Disabilities is a United Nations Treaty. As a disabled veteran I support the ratification of the CRPD. I have personally lobbied the Senate to ratify the treaty as the president of the Disabled Students in Higher Education. DSHE recently traveled to Washington DC to speak with Senator Roy Blunt about the rights of disabled Americans and the CRPD. DSHE argued that the academic standards in tests such as the LSAT, GRE, CBASE, and the GMAT are unfair. UMKC Disabled students trying to gain admittance to post-secondary education are kept out of Universities around the nation. The UMKC Testing Center test administrators often told to deny accommodations needed to pass these tests.
On December 4th the US Senate will voted to deny ratification the UN treaty. This treaty was supported ...]]></description>
