It seems that for every election I can remember, it has always been claimed that, "this election is the most important election you will ever vote in." As Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton ask Oregon Democrats for their support this May, many may not understand what their vote may truly decide.

Dear Barack Obama...

I am writing to complain about an interruption of my privacy.

Recently I sat down to watch "Saturday Night Live." I figured that after a long day of studying I might be able to lay back on my couch and laugh a little bit.

There's just one problem: every 10 minutes, the show was interrupted by one of your grandstanding political ads.

Break As We Fall is a solid band. Solid in the way that if you pick up their EP at Bombs Away Café today, you will hear how natural they sound as a band. Inspired by jazz, '90s rock and ska, they just work. The best way to describe the sound of the band's self-titled EP is to imagine if Jason Mraz and Maroon 5 had a child that started a ska band, mixed with a healthy dose of awesome.

The summer of superheroes has finally arrived. I know it's only May, but it seems that "Iron Man" kicked off this action-packed summer a bit early. With Robert Downey Jr. leading an all-star cast, and with a script straight out of the Iron Man comic world, this movie is just the beginning of a blockbuster-filled summer.

As the Olympic College Facilities Master Plan begins to unfold, the next step in the process will be the groundbreaking of the new Humanities Building on Thursday.

According to Dr. Barbara Martin, vice president of Administration, after the groundbreaking ceremony the construction of the new building should only take about 17 months with a projected completion of January 2010.

The building itself, designed by Yost Grube Hall Architecture, has a base construction cost of $20.5 million, and is 80,000 square feet. It will not only house 22 classrooms and a lecture hall, but will also centralize student services, having most of the student entry and advisory center on its first two floors, including records and registrations, admissions, financial aid, the SEAC, and much more.

Part-time faculty and their supporters gave the Olympic College Board of Trustees perhaps more than they bargained for during the April 22 board meeting on the Poulsbo campus.

Advocates for better working conditions and fairer treatment benefiting adjunct professors came out in force and spent more than an hour discussing the issues that many "part-timers" feel are not being addressed adequately, if at all.

You might be surprised to hear that the deadline for declaring candidacy for an Associated Students of Olympic College office has passed. If you hadn't heard that the process had even begun you aren't alone. I would venture to guess that for most of you this is the first you've heard of it.

Twice within the last two weeks, election signs for the ASEWU general election have been taken down and disposed of by a student at Eastern Washington University.

Though it was first thought to be an act done by maintenance crews on campus, it wasn't until Lindsay LeVeque, ASEWU executive vice president, made a call to the maintenance center that she found out it was someone acting on his own will.
